Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 273 272. Some people are always overwhelmed with problems wherever they go (Part )
Feldrich did not show up. She said that there was nothing to talk about with the independent mercenary and they could just take a rest here - which was a good thing, at least she didn't mention the word wild dog.

But there are many ways to rest. Staying in the hotel is really boring. Considering this, Tien suddenly put down the dessert and said, "Let's go find a bar and get some information like before?"

"Who's going to pay?"

"Haha, of course it's you as the captain."

Sefer gave her some money and let her go.

On the other side, Shengnai, who was interested in desserts but not very hungry, came over carefully and said that he wanted to go to the hospital in the node city.

He immediately decided to let the two generals, Lin Shenxue and Wei Erwei, follow. After the three of them set out together, Sefer turned his attention to Dr. Mei.

From the beginning till now, she either ate something or sat there yawning boredly, seemingly having no idea about the 'vacation'.

"So what about Dr. Mei? What are you going to do during your rare free time?"

"Don't worry about me. Has that guy come to you recently and said some weird things?"

I was talking about Ms. Jin Junmei, but unfortunately, ever since the Furnace Node City paid for Sefer to repair his equipment, this sponsor has not said a word since then.

Moreover, all the accounts that we had contacted before have been deleted completely, so there is no way to contact them if we want to.

"That's alright, it means I've been too busy lately to bother you. I'm going back to the car to adjust some things before coming back."

Dr. Mei stood up and left leisurely. After a while, Sefer realized... it seemed that he was the only one in the whole car who had nothing to do?
I have to find time to kill this boring time, so what is the best way to kill time?
After everyone left, Seifer walked around for a while on the open-air balcony of this hotel, which was called a hotel but looked more like a luxury hotel complex, looking down at the area below where heat was slowly rising.

It is said that a hot underground river flows underneath, bringing abundant water and nutrients to the city, which is one of the reasons why the vegetation here is so lush.

It is hard to imagine that above the thick rock layer lies a scorching desert where nothing can survive, and underneath lies such a vibrant underground node city.

After a brief sigh, Seifer walked directly to Feldridge's door and rang the doorbell.

There was no response from inside, so I pressed it a few more times. Finally, Feldrich stood at the door with an unhappy look on his face: "Do not disturb, didn't you see it?"

"I did see it, but I think we're about to arrive at the Joint School Node City, and our commission is about to expire. We have to say something. Let's just consider it the end of this relationship, right?"

To be honest, the expression on Feldridge's face was really funny at that moment. She smacked her lips, went back into the room, and let Cypher in.

Not to mention, the suite she booked for herself was much more upscale than the other rooms!

There is a large reception room right at the entrance, and even the conference table can be automatically adjusted up and down.

The large circular terrace outside the floor-to-ceiling windows can even host an outdoor cocktail party.

Not to mention that the internal living area is separated by a door and has at least two floors of luxurious suites. This guy lives too well. Is it really necessary to just take a rest?
"You seem to be wondering, 'Why do I have to live in such a good place?' I do this for a reason."

Feldrich crossed his arms, looking rather sullen, but he managed to explain, "First of all, my identity—you don't think you were able to catch me so easily last time because of your own efforts, do you?"

As if returning home, Seifer sat down, brought the freshly boiled water, and carefully examined the brewed beverage on the table. He was surprised to find that there was actually tea leaves—people in this world were also keen on this. "It's mainly because I seized the opportunity." Seifer set the cups aside. "The Phantom Mist Group cleared the way for me, and there are other things nearby that are eyeing me covetously."

"And the convoy just happened to be on the move, and the actual mobile base hadn't been activated yet. It was a perfect weak point, and the timing was perfect—right?"

Feldrich folded his arms and stood beside the conference table instead of sitting down, as if trying to make himself look more imposing than the seated Sefer.

Then he nodded: "You still have some foresight. Even though I seem to be targeted by that idiot now, my position in the company cannot be shaken in an instant."

"I'm a top scientific researcher, and they're trying to kick me out of my core position for such a small matter. That guy really doesn't take this seriously. But the brainless dogs down there definitely don't think so."

"So no matter where I go or what I do, I have to appear calm. So-called luxury... can this barely-there place be called luxury? When you're lucky enough to own a node city, then think about what luxury really is."

To be honest, he never expected that, and when he thought about how stressful a management position would be, Seifer wanted to jump out of the window and escape immediately.

"Anyway, since we're having a meeting here, those idiots who like to gossip behind my back need to shut up... Also, I have a meeting later, so remember to come here as my bodyguard and protect my safety."

Just as Cypher was about to say he was going on vacation, she put one hand on her waist and said in a condescending manner, "This is our agreement. You have to protect me the entire time... Do you think my missiles and escort fees are that easy?"

But she didn't say she wanted to hold a meeting here. Sefer looked around, pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window and said that there were buildings across the street. Wasn't she afraid of being sniped from a distance?
"That's why I asked you to be my bodyguard. After all, you're not going to die from your disgusting appearance, so I'll just make the best use of you."

After seeing the real appearance of Cypher, Feldrich is now quite dissatisfied with the fact that he walks around in a mechanical body... It is unknown why he is dissatisfied.

"Also, the food here is terrible. Go get me some of the food in your car."

"This...isn't in the contract."

Feldrich crossed his arms, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if in mockery. "If you take my money, you have to work for me. Even if you're just a...independent mercenary now, you should meet all my reasonable demands before the end of the contract."

That smile, as if he had finally found his chance to ride on Sefer's head and bully him, somehow made him want a beating. So Sefer thought for a moment and said, "How about you go eat it yourself?"

"Anyway, it's still early for your scheduled meeting... Oh, by the way, when I was just wandering around outside, I saw another group staying at this hotel. Do you want me to find out who they are?"

"...No, I didn't book the whole place, so there's no need to get involved with those weird people."

She waited for a moment, and when she saw that Seifer hadn't stood up, she became a little puzzled: "Why aren't you leaving?"

"I thought you didn't want to go to the car and wanted to insist that I bring the food here to eat."

After these words were spoken, even Feldrich realized that his attitude towards this mercenary was a little too nice - he actually asked such a question with such impudence.

"I've changed my mind. I'm going to eat in the car. But you, don't show up in front of me with that disgusting look."

This skin is quite nice...

Completely unaware that Feldrich had been looking at the soft silicone thing when he said this, Cypher shrugged, indicating that this was simple.
