save the bachelors

Chapter 5146-5149 [Showing Off One's Skills]

Diana strode off, but then opened her coat, revealing the red and blue armor she was wearing underneath.

The armor only covered her chest, abdomen, and hips, while her legs and shoulders were left unprotected.

Such attire was considered very bold and open in Britain at the time.

"No, no, no!" Xiang Nan quickly stopped her and wrapped her coat back up. "You can't do this. You're not wearing any clothes underneath. We need to buy you some clothes first."

"What do those women wear when they fight?" Diana asked, puzzled.

“They don’t need to…” Xiang Nan explained.

"Oh, a baby." At that moment, Diana was drawn to a child sitting in a stroller on the side of the street and ran over.

"No, they're not made of mud," Xiang Nan quickly pulled her back, saying, "This isn't the time to tease a child. Diana, hurry up!"

Xiang Nan then took Diana to a clothing store.

A short, plump girl greeted him with a smile as soon as she saw him.

"Thank God you're not dead, that's wonderful!" She happily hugged Xiang Nan and said, "I really thought you were dead before I got your call."

Then she looked at Diana and said familiarly, "He disappeared for several weeks without a word, which is very unlike him."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Eta Candy, and I'm Captain Steve Trevor's secretary," the short, plump girl said with a smile.

"What is a secretary?" Diana asked, puzzled.

“I do everything. I go wherever he tells me to go, and I do whatever he tells me to do,” Eta said with a smile.

“Where we come from, we call that slavery.” Diana understood.

“That really resonates with me,” Eta said, echoing her sentiments. “To be honest, I really hit it off with her at first sight.”

"Ladies, stop chatting and come over here," Xiang Nan urged.

“To be honest, I also feel like a slave, but at least the salary is not bad,” Eta added.

"Is this the armor you ladies wear?" Diana asked, noticing the breastplate on display in the clothing store.

“Armor?! No, it’s fashion,” Etta explained. “It helps to tighten up the tummy.”

"Why do I need to tighten my tummy?" Diana asked, puzzled.

“That’s something only a woman without a belly would say,” Eta said, looking at Diana with envy.

Women with perfect figures like these would never have the troubles of short and plump women like them.

"Alright, Candy, help her change a few outfits," Xiang Nan instructed Candy, while he himself went to the men's clothing department and bought himself a few new clothes.

……

When Xiang Nan returned, he saw Candy sitting there by himself. "Where's Diana?"

“She went to change into her two hundred and twentieth outfit,” Candy replied.

Although Diana was very beautiful and had a perfect figure, she didn't have much taste in fashion.

She helped her choose a lot of beautiful clothes, but she didn't like any of them. It was such a waste of all her effort.

As she spoke, Diana emerged dressed in a formal women's outfit: a blazer and a long skirt.

This was the clothing worn by women in clerical jobs in Britain at that time.

"Wow~" Candy couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing it.

Wearing this outfit, Diana looked very capable and possessed a unique, confident, and charming allure.

"Candy, the reason I had her change clothes was to make her less conspicuous," Xiang Nan said speechlessly. He then picked up a pair of glasses from the display stand and put them on Diana's face. "Sorry, let me try them on~"

"Really? Glasses? Won't that make her the prettiest woman on the street?" Candy quipped. "OK, much better, let's go," Xiang Nan nodded.

He knew that even with glasses on, her beauty could not be hidden.

Then, Diana, with the Godslayer Sword in her right hand and the Divine Shield in her left, followed Xiang Nan out with great pride and confidence.

Her professional attire, paired with those two classic cold weapons, made her stand out remarkably.

"No, no, we can't go out like this," Xiang Nan quickly stopped her. "Eta, help her carry this."

Diana was somewhat displeased, as these two items were part of her equipment.

"Please, Diana, we need to keep a low profile so we can get to the council safely," Xiang Nan pleaded.

“Yes, he’s absolutely right,” Eta nodded.

“Okay, promise me you’ll protect them with your life,” Diana solemnly instructed.

“I promise you.” Eta nodded, then accepted the Godslayer Sword and the Divine Shield.

……

“Let’s go.” Xiang Nan led Diana away from the clothing store and headed towards the council.

On the way, he keenly sensed that several pairs of eyes were secretly watching him.

For example, the person pretending to read a newspaper on the street corner, the passerby who just passed by, and the person pretending to buy something in front of them...

"We need to hurry," Xiang Nan reminded Diana.

"Why, Steve?" Diana was still a little confused.

"We're being watched," Xiang Nan explained. "Come on, let's hide inside first."

He found a small alley and then hid there with Diana.

"Who are we hiding from?" Diana asked, puzzled.

“German lackeys,” Xiang Nan replied.

“You’re right.” At that moment, a pistol was pressed against Xiang Nan’s forehead, and a cold voice said with a smile.

Several more people walked in from both sides of the alley, and together they pulled out pistols and pointed them at Xiang Nan and Diana.

“Captain Trevor, we believe you are hiding something belonging to General Ludendorff on you.” A bearded man stepped forward and sneered at Xiang Nan.

"Don't shoot, I'll give you back your notebook," Xiang Nan said hurriedly. He then reached into his pocket, pretending to take out the notebook to hand to the bearded man, and took the opportunity to approach him. He then rammed into the man, knocking him to the ground.

Seeing that Xiang Nan was not cooperating, the group immediately opened fire.

"I'll protect you!" Xiang Nan quickly shielded Diana behind him.

Suddenly, Diana reached out her hand, and with a clang, the bullet was stopped by her arm guard and fell to the ground.

The bullet was completely deformed, as if it had hit a steel plate.

"Or, you can protect me," Xiang Nan said decisively upon seeing this.

Diana immediately stepped out from behind him and shielded Xiang Nan behind her.

Upon seeing this, the other German soldiers immediately began firing.

But all the bullets they fired were deflected by Diana, failing to harm her at all.

According to Xiang Nan's estimate, Diana's reaction speed was at least four to five times the speed of sound, which was enough to shield her from shots coming from all directions.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that there was anyone in the world who could stop a bullet; it was truly unbelievable.
