Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

The legal profession has many friends, but even more enemies, especially those elite lawyers who are planning to climb over their peers to get ahead. It can be said that the number of law firms and practicing lawyers in the Grand Knight Territory is equal to the number of enemies.

How could Destreet not be afraid at that time? How could she not run away?

No one can guarantee they will always win, and no one can guarantee they will never make a mistake.

"To get back to the point, Mr. Mike, Mr. Chongyue, my firm has learned that you and your teams are about to leave Kazimierz for the cold North to explore further. Therefore, we have made a sincere suggestion to you."

Mike noticed Destle's choice of words and guessed what was going on. It seemed that when he went to handle the procedures for the Exploration Association, Astral had passed the message to Danshu.

The problem is that he didn't disclose the number of participants or the list at the time...

broken.

Most likely, Desmond would run into Chongyue at the door and get the truth from her elder brother in just a few words.

In addition, since everyone was an operator from Rhodes Island, they weren't very vigilant.

"Please speak, I trust the great lawyer."

22. Three women make a drama.

Something unexpected happened to Destreet today during what was not a long career.

Even though the Columbia duo, who didn't have much interaction even in the Great Knight Territory, actually sent her a message.

Originally, Destle did not intend to get involved. Such an expedition from the far east, passing through Kazimierz and entering the depths of the Sami Icefield, could not attract her attention.

What is her relationship with this team? Could it be that they committed a crime in the Great Knights?

After receiving a negative answer, Destle was about to hang up when the woman named Holheimia called her back.

“Miss Destreet, are you really not interested at all? If you help us with this small favor, Rhine Lab will be grateful for your help.”

"What does this have to do with Rhine Labs?"

"They're heading into the North. This will inevitably involve the Columbia Joint Exploration Association; a department head at Rhine Labs has gone missing on the ice plains..."

“I don’t want to hear these things. They’re all excuses, Miss Holhaya. You need to show me some sincerity that can move me. If you keep saying these things, I’ll have to regretfully refuse you.”

“We suspect the identity of that guy named Mike. The astrological divination has no effect on him. This kind of thing has only happened to one person before.”

Holhall stopped there, not continuing the conversation, as she could hear the change in the breathing rhythm of the lawyer on the other end of the line through the microphone.

In fact, when Destreet was on vacation in Rhodes Island, she was once confused and doubted whether she should really help Red Pine Forest win that case.

Confusion plagued her, causing her to become depressed and unable to extricate herself.

Even the most elite lawyers cannot escape their own constraints.

At that moment, someone appeared.

Although he was very thin and didn't seem very strong, his words were so impactful.

He delved deep into Descartes' heart, sorted out her complicated emotions, and helped her out of her predicament step by step.

Destreet is indeed a strong woman, but she is also a woman, and she is surprised to find that she can get help from a gentleman.

but……

"Is what you said true?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, I'll only know after trying it. It would be even better if you were willing to help."

"I can try it for you, but I can't draw a conclusion."

"Thank you very much. Actually, whether it's true or false doesn't matter at all, does it?"

Holhaa's last words made Destreet hang up the phone immediately.

As expected of a Colombian, they can talk about such shameless things so easily. And Xingji is really something, an astronomer actually hanging out with a woman like Horhaja.

In those few seconds, countless thoughts raced through Descartes' mind, including that memory. She quickly composed herself and looked at the microphone opposite her, continuing:

“From several years ago to now, quite a few people have entered the Sami Icefield. A considerable number of expeditions have disappeared without a trace, leaving their families with only pain and longing.”

"Gentlemen, if you wish to enter the Ice Plains, I do not doubt your abilities. However, considering some uncertainties, I still believe you should purchase commercial insurance for yourselves."

Destreet's next words surprised Mike. He had expected the top lawyer to have some profound insights, but it turned out she was just trying to sell him insurance.

When did even top lawyers start doing this job on the side?

However, upon closer examination, the Knights Tournament of the Great Knight Territory is in full swing, and accidents are bound to happen during the competition. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to purchase commercial insurance for the knights.

But if it's such a trivial matter, any salesperson could handle it. Why would a top lawyer personally take charge?

Mike turned to look at Chongyue, who seemed to have anticipated this situation and asked, "Can we list the same person as the beneficiary for our commercial insurance policy?"

"It's probably not possible, as that would involve insurance fraud and cause the insurance to lapse. However, I think this insurance will never take effect."

The top lawyer spoke in a way that was pleasant and welcoming. Her attitude was very clear; her real purpose was probably not to sell insurance, but to test the waters.

What the hell.

What exactly went wrong that would cause so many touching doubts?

"Mr. Mike, what do you think?"

"That makes sense. May I ask what the maximum insurance coverage is?"

But Shu truly lived up to her reputation as an elite among elites. As soon as Mike asked the question, she dropped a string of numbers—an astonishing amount that even made Mike consider setting up a scheme to scam the insurance payout.

This woman is very good at exploiting human weaknesses.

"We need to discuss this, since this matter requires everyone's participation, and cannot be decided by one or two people alone."

"Of course, this is a model of commercial insurance. You can all pass it around and read it. I'll come to visit again tomorrow morning."

"Okay, please take care, I'll see you off."

Chongyue got up and saw Daisy out of the hotel.

Mike glanced at the commercial insurance paper in his hand, and when Chongyue returned, he said softly, "She's here to stall for time."

"I can tell, Mike, did you meet someone outside today?"

“Hinterlea, Sona, Xingji, and Horhaya, the latter two are in the Columbia office. I didn’t expect to run into them there. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone.”

The older brother patted Mike on the shoulder reassuringly, then got up and left.

There's no way around it; there are many clever people on this land. They might have been able to pretend to be naive and innocent before, but now that the operators are no longer under any checks and balances, they are fully demonstrating their wisdom.

It must be said that each of them is a capable individual.

"Horhaiya, you feathered serpent, I should have stewed your eggs!"

Mike gritted his teeth in hatred.

……

"You guessed right. This guy named Mike has connections to Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. He's accompanied by at least one of his agents, Chongyue. We've all met Mr. Chongyue; he has an extraordinary status in Yan Country. The fact that someone like him can operate alongside Mike speaks volumes..."

As Destreet spoke, she recalled the man's appearance in her mind, but there seemed to be no connection between the two; they didn't look alike at all.

"Could this guy named Mike be Dr. Kal'tsit's illegitimate son?"

The three women were sitting together, and two of them pretended not to have heard what the other had just said.

If this kind of thing spreads everywhere, it could cause a lot of trouble.

"What should we do now?"

"I've stalled for time until tomorrow morning. They shouldn't try to escape overnight. As for what to do, how would I know? You're the ones who came up with the plan, and I have to figure it out?"

23. Mostima's future lies here.

Max thought long and hard, considering seven or eight ways to escape overnight, but in the end, he realized that none of them were worth doing.

Andorn has not returned yet.

Director An went to the cathedral in the Great Knight's territory to look for someone, but has not returned for a long time. Could it be that something unexpected happened to him?

While this possibility cannot be ruled out, Mike believes that there are relatively few people on this land who can cause trouble for Andorn, so it's unlikely that he would encounter a monster like the Lord of the Royal Court on the road.

Or should we go find someone?

We can't just leave Andorn in the Grand Knights' territory, otherwise we'll have a hard time explaining it to Kal'tsit.

I never imagined that one day I would be troubled by my own catgirl.

……

While Mike was struggling with his decision, Andorn, who was in a Lateran-style church, was forced to confront two old friends.

"Andorn, I never expected to see you here. It's been so many years since we last met. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Fiameta, wielding two guns, pointed them at the angel opposite her.

However, Andorn's gaze was not on Liberi, which made the Angry Birds even angrier.

This guy didn't take her words to heart.

Andorn looked at the short-haired blue fallen angel who was still sitting motionless in the chair not far away. The threat posed by Fiameta was far less terrifying than that of the fallen angel. Andorn sensed an ancient aura on her.

"It's within you; it ultimately chose you."

The terrifying things that were shown to Andorn in the past and future were not things that ordinary people could enter. Even now, with Andorn's strength, he still can't help but feel a sense of unease when facing these ancient things.

"Yes, it chose me."

The fallen angel turned around, his face barely changing.

Ten years is enough time for a child to grow into an adult, for a vibrant young person to reach middle age, and for a middle-aged person in their prime to enter a dreary old age. But time has not left any trace on Mostima's face.

She seems to never grow old, her youth remains forever, and time seems to stand still for her.

Andorn went to Laterano and received some unexpected answers. He remained steadfast on his current path, while Fiameta took his gun.

But what's the big deal?

Now that Andorn has stepped into a hall he had never been to before, and has lost his Guardian Gun, is he no longer an angel?

Even if...

"I'm sorry, you two are overthinking it. I have other important business to attend to today and have no intention of getting into a fight with you."
