Quadruple split.

Chapter 2531 Overturning the table

Futaba and Evie Lehman were not unexpected visitors, but if they had followed the original schedule, they should have arrived in the Free City in the evening instead of the short break after lunch.

But it was obvious that the person who was sitting leisurely in front of Xiao Ai and Cole at this moment was completely different from the existence named "Tan Mo" in the game from head to toe, but the aura emanating from the inside out was enough to confuse the young man and woman. They even mistook him for the "other trump card" of their husband and not a person who liked to follow the rules.

In fact, as Mo Tan's confidants, Cole and Xiao Ai had no shortage of understanding of Shuangye, the woman who was their husband's biggest concern. But after truly "meeting" her at this moment, they realized that their so-called "understanding" was so shallow as to be ridiculous.

The kind of fear of breathing normally, for fear that the other person can hear the panic in your heart from your breathing;

The fear of being forced to lower your head, afraid that the other person will read your secrets through your eyes;

The kind of repression where one dares not move at all, fearing that the other party will catch one's weakness through trembling;

All of this reminded Xiao Ai and Cole that the person in front of them was someone they could never compare to, and that even the qualification to communicate on an equal footing required them to wait for alms.

And in a sense, this fear that seemed like an illusion, emerging from the depths of their thoughts and from every limb, was actually not wrong at all.

However, this feeling was something that Ivy Lehman, Bad Hottie, and others, who were also subordinate units of the Ace in principle, had never felt before.

So the question is, why can Cole and Xiao Ai, who have never formally met Futaba in the past, feel such a strange, terrifying, and suffocating sense of oppression within five seconds of their first meeting, while those who theoretically have more contact with Futaba cannot feel it?

The reason is very simple. Even though the young couple had never worked with Futaba, they were the ones who understood the horror of Tanmo the most to some extent. Under this premise, the two of them subconsciously equated Futaba with their own husband almost the moment they saw her.

This is a very simple formula. Since 'Tan Mo' is a person who is inherently oppressive to the point of being suffocating, and Futaba gives the same feeling to the two of them as 'Tan Mo', then she will naturally let the other person experience the trembling that grows deep in the soul.

By the way, Lucy is different from Evie and the bad hot girl. She can fully feel Futaba's "background", but unlike Cole and Xiao Ai, although she can clearly sense the source of their palpitations, she doesn't think it's anything to be surprised about and didn't take it seriously from the beginning.

It's a pity that Lucy is only a very small minority after all. For Cole and Xiao Ai, it takes all their efforts to ensure that they don't have disordered breathing, trembling bodies, and clear thoughts in front of Futaba.

But in Futaba's opinion...

Well, she wasn't going to watch it.

She didn't care at all.

To put it in more detail, although she clearly captured the mood of the two little kids in front of her, she was too lazy to pay attention or respond. She neither threatened nor comforted them. She just maintained her own pace, tough and overbearing.

Just as the purpose of her trip to the city of freedom this time, she incorporated everything within her sight into her own rhythm and steered this public welfare organization with her own rules in this small piece of land.

As for the person at the helm during this period of time—

"I must commend you again, Ai Vanye."

Futaba lazily glanced at the parchments that were respectfully unfolded in front of her, and chuckled as she praised, "I have to say, as a third-rate character who was given the role of [Supervisor], you have done well enough. Of course, the [Clown] next to you is also very funny. It can be considered a good piece of entertainment in the weekend eight o'clock show."

Although her words didn't sound like praise at all, Cole and Xiao Ai still forced themselves to give an awkward smile, as a way of thanking the leader for his affirmation.

"Let's talk about you first, the little clown."

Futaba looked up at Cole and said to the boy who nodded stiffly, "I don't need you to be loyal to me, but for a long time to come, I hope you can unconditionally implement my orders and practice my will. The reward I can offer... Sorry, so far, the only one is 'not letting you do anything that will harm Tanmo's interests'."

When Cole heard the other party's reward, which was not even a reward, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head, saying, "I will obey your command."

"Very good, you can go out now."

Futaba waved her hand and said casually, "In half an hour, I need Leisa Keyworth and several other members of the street committee to appear at 0 Bella Street."

"Uh……"

Cole was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the other party would not only let him go directly, but also make such a hasty request.

"Any questions?"

Shuangye frowned slightly and asked lightly.

"No."

Although it was just an unreasonable fantasy, Cole always felt that if he hesitated for another second, his hair and eyebrows would be burned off by the other party. He immediately stood up straight and left quickly as if Mo Tan had given him the order personally.

Xiao Ai turned around to look at the boy's hurriedly leaving back, and chuckled silently with her hands covering her mouth.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

Shuangye frowned slightly, and said in a slightly more serious tone than before: "Although your value is far less than that of the Queen of Hearts, and your few barely presentable strengths will lose their value after I arrive, but...tsk tsk, now that I think about it, it seems that there is really no need for you to stay. Well, go if you want to."

Xiao Ai smiled and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your understanding, ma'am."

Futaba responded with a noncommittal nasal sound, then asked, "When are we leaving?"

"According to the plan, I intend to complete the handover with you today. If everything goes well, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Ai looked at the parchments that she had just sorted out and put away this morning, but now floated in front of Shuangye with a somewhat subtle expression: "As for the specific content that needs to be handed over... it seems to be what you are reading now."

"Well, I just went to the place where you've been working recently, and I accidentally saw these things and took a quick look at them."

Futaba, who obviously had no intention of explaining how she 'accidentally' saw and took out the contents of the confidential cabinet, nodded and praised him half-heartedly, "The summary is good. Although there are not many useful things, your handwriting and the ink you used are both good. It looks quite comfortable."

Xiao Ai: “…Huh?”

Admittedly, even the highly respected [Supervisor] couldn't keep up with the other party's pace for a while, but considering that Futaba didn't expect her to keep up, it didn't matter.

"As for the handover, you can consider it completed now."

Futaba gently waved her index finger, gathering the parchments floating in front of her into a neat pile, then snapped her fingers and used a not-so-strong flame to burn into ashes the information that Xiao Ai had painstakingly compiled and summarized over the past half month.

"Yes."

Xiao Ai did not show any dissatisfaction, and was even a little touched because the other party deliberately looked at her for a long time in front of her.

"Ah."

Futaba chuckled, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "You leave three days later."

"Okay, ma'am."

Xiao Ai agreed immediately before asking, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Since I'm willing to come and clean up the mess, there's nothing else you need to do."

Futaba shrugged and said calmly: "Yes, although you do have reason to be proud of your achievements during this period, in my eyes, this is indeed an absolute mess."

Xiao Ai, knowing full well that the other party had not finished speaking, lowered her eyes and 'listened to the instruction' obediently and respectfully.

"But the good news is that you at least know how to lay the foundation, which saves me a lot of effort."

Futaba looked at the girl in front of her who had left a good impression on her and gave her an encouraging smile: "And in return, I will use the next three days to teach you a few lessons."

Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Well, I..."

"It doesn't matter what you think."

Shuangye impatiently interrupted the other party's refusal, and said unhappily: "Tan Mo is the worst bitch in my knowledge, no doubt about it. If I let you go so easily, he will definitely force me to owe him a favor, so you have to learn these lessons whether you want to or not."

"Okay, okay."

"Finally, would you consider..."

"Feel sorry."

"I haven't asked yet."

"I have vowed to follow you forever, sir."

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to have lunch together later. What did you say?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I..."

"Just kidding, I really want to win you over to my side, but it seems unlikely." "Thank you for your kindness."

"What if I say I can help you deal with that clown? Okay, okay, it seems that this is indeed a stupid question. Forget it, let's go."

"where to?"

"Just briefly get to know the rabble here, let them know who they should listen to in the future, and then teach you the first lesson."

……

Game time AM14:12

Freedom City, No. 0 Bella Street, nd floor of the Street Committee House

The store manager of Roman Abyss, the heavily made-up half-orc Alma Heike, sucked silently on her pipe, her whole body wrapped in a cloud of smoke emitting a faint scent of tobacco.

Hermes, the leader of the [Blue Holy Scripture] who had to rush here after failing to contact Motan, leaned back in his chair, his expression uncertain and unpredictable.

Imelda, the president of the Imelda Chamber of Commerce, twisted her fingers nervously, and seemed restless because she did not receive any contact from the Kevos family in advance.

The Patriarch of the Black Curtain, Father Lorenzo, an old priest with a triangular face, hugged the Holy Book tightly, trembling like a sieve, and looked very nervous.

It can be seen that except for Father Lorenzo's performance which was as stable as ever, the performances of the other families were somewhat abnormal. The main reason for this was naturally because Ms. Ai Vanye, who always greeted everyone in advance and set the tone as much as possible before the meeting, suddenly called the meeting this time.

You know, after the [Fire Demon Mercenary Group] was officially removed from the Bella Street Sub-district Committee, and even No. 2 Bella Street where they were entrenched was taken over by the Kevos family, the structure of the committee has become clear. Although it is still in the tacit stage, everyone knows that in time, the girl who always has a quiet and gentle smile on her lips and acts meticulously and without any mistakes will definitely take complete control of Bella Street.

However, for someone, 'in due time' doesn't seem to be a pleasing word, so -

"Well, here we come."

The old priest of the Vole Tribe who had been looking out the window frequently widened his eyes and said in a panic, "Ms. Vanye is lagging behind!"

"There's nothing strange about this."

President Imelda, whose seat was not near the window, laughed dryly and told the truth: "That Leisa Keyworth was originally just a character arranged to stand at the front. You, old charlatan, don't really think that Ms. Vanye, who bears the title of 'deacon', doesn't have enough weight, do you?"

The old priest shook his head and said in a panic, "Ms. Resa is also behind."

"what?"

Alma, who was also not sitting by the window, frowned and asked, "Who's in the front?"

As a result, she thought it was Mo Tan who personally took action, but she was also stunned after Lorenzo's answer -

"A small human girl?"

……

"Hello everyone."

Two minutes later, a small human girl walked in carelessly and sat down at the main seat at the long table. She raised her hand to hold back the questions from the people around her and said calmly, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Futaba, and I'm the person in charge of the charity organization [Joker]. As for all of you, Ms. Leisa Keyworth, who is also a member of this stupid committee, is our senior cadre."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone at the table changed. Hermes, who had the hottest temper, stood up and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what organization you are from. Since you are not a member of the committee, then..."

"Mr. Hao."

Futaba interrupted the other party calmly and said in a calm tone: "The performance time is over, now stand behind me."

"Ah."

Hermes sneered, then strode towards Futaba. After passing her, he stood behind the girl and stood shoulder to shoulder with Cole.

Imelda was stunned at the time: "Girl, you..."

"Ms. Irma."

Futaba ignored the old lady and continued to speak to herself: "You come too."

So, Alma stood up with a smile and walked to Shuangye, bowed to the benefactor of the Fire Claw Territory, and then stood behind the girl.

"As for you, you old woman who looks like a toad."

Futaba glanced at Imelda and said calmly, "I'll give you ten seconds to think about it. Come and stand behind me, or let your will with my name on it be executed before the sun sets."

Not only had she never written a will, but she had also never heard of the name 'Five Leaves' before. President Imelda was immediately confused: "What did you say?"

"three."

"Wait a moment!"

"two."

"Didn't you say you would give me ten..."

"one."

"At your service, ma'am."

Imelda stood up with a wry smile, bowed to the unreasonable woman in front of her, and then walked with heavy steps to stand behind Futaba.

Then--

"Father, your Excellency."

Futaba looked at the somewhat wretched-looking triangular-faced field mouse man opposite him and said with a playful smile: "Bella Street, is it convenient for me to have the final say?"

"Uh……"

Lorenzo swallowed hard and said repeatedly: "It's convenient, convenient."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome…”

"Then can you please tell me now, who are you?"

"This... isn't very convenient."

"why?"

"If I tell them, apart from that guy from another world, I'm afraid all the others will be silenced."

"I see, Xiao Ai."

"I am here, ma'am."

"Take everyone out to bask in the sun."

"Yes."
