"Little March!"

Himeko raised her voice slightly, and March Seven gradually calmed down. Then Himeko turned to look at Emerald.

Do you know about this?

Emerald nodded, and Himeko frowned slightly in displeasure, but before she could question her, Emerald immediately began to explain.

"It's not that I deliberately didn't say it, it's just that Director Xing He was not injured at all in this assassination attempt. The assassin's attack couldn't even break through Director Xing He's defenses, so I didn't mention it."

“But that’s no excuse for you to hide it,” Himeko retorted, then looked at Pera: “Is Xing He really alright?”

Although she had met Emerald a few times before, she was more willing to believe Pella, whom she was meeting for the first time, than Emerald.

Pera nodded with a smile: "Please don't worry, Mr. Xing He is perfectly fine, he's even lively and energetic."

"That's good."

"Are you talking about me?"

Xing He descended from the sky and landed in front of them. When March 7 saw Xing He appear, she rushed over in surprise and hugged him tightly.

"Xing He, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Uh, of course it's nothing. But you... Little March, you seem to have become more enthusiastic?"

The previous Little March wouldn't have suddenly rushed up and hugged him like this; it's not like he hadn't had an accident before.

Xiao Sanyue let go of Xing He's arm and said coquettishly, "Can't I care about you?"

Xing He shook his head repeatedly: "I just suddenly feel a little flattered."

"You're the only one who talks so much!"

After flirting for a while, Xing He turned to Ji Zi and Fei Cui and asked, "Sister Ji Zi, who is this next to you?"

Emerald stepped forward and introduced herself: "I am Emerald, and I belong to the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Company. I am Director Xing He. In a sense, I am your subordinate."

Jade's words were quite clever, subtly placing herself in the position of Xing He's subordinate, which made Xing He feel somewhat favorably toward her. After all, one should always treat one's own people better.

"Wow, I never thought I, Xing, would one day have a female secretary." He couldn't help but joke when Emerald said that she was his subordinate.

Jade responded with a smile, "Although my role in the Strategic Investment Department isn't that of a secretary, it would be perfect if it were Director Xing He!"

Xing He was stunned. No, this woman is quite cunning; she's a master!

Xing He quickly stepped aside: "I was just joking. It would be a waste of talent to use someone like Ms. Emerald as a secretary."

Emerald pressed her advantage: "I think serving Director Xing He is the greatest affirmation of my abilities~"

Xing He was certain of one thing: the woman in front of him named Emerald was a master several times more powerful than Toppa!

Xing He didn't intend to argue with her about this topic any further, so he simply got straight to the point: "Let's get down to business. You and Sister Ji Zi used the boundary anchor point to teleport here together, so you must have something important to tell me, right?"

He had previously received a text message from Himeko saying that they would come to find him together using the boundary anchor point, and now the people from Emerald Company were also coming along, which clearly meant that Emerald had come to see Himeko.

Pera stood to the side, glanced at the bustling street, and whispered, "Gentlemen, this isn't the place to talk. How about we go to Cripplesburg?"

Xing He and the others glanced around and agreed, so they followed Pera toward Crippleburg.

Not long after the group left, Chad arrived late with his subordinates, only to see Xing He leading a few people toward Cribburg.

Chad was about to call out to them when he inadvertently caught sight of Emerald in the group and was immediately stunned.

"[Jade]? This guy actually came to Yalilo too. It seems the Strategic Investment Department already knows our purpose..."

Seeing Xing He and his group walking further and further away, one of the subordinates couldn't help but ask, "Director Chad, aren't we going with Director Xing He?"

"Go to hell!" Chad slapped him irritably. "What if Emerald suddenly spills our beans while we're chatting? We'd be better off using this time to do something more important!"

Chadmore stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "That house on the snowfield must be Xing He's base, as these citizens of Beloborg have been talking about, right? Since it's a base, it must contain some important things, maybe even building materials that even the Amber King is interested in... Let's go to that base!"

————————————————————

Inside Cripplesburg, Pera led the group to a meeting room and then left. A short while later, Bronya pushed open the door and entered.

Bronya asked anxiously as soon as she entered, "Xing He, are you alright?"

Xing He shook his head, smiled, and pointed to himself: "I'm sitting here perfectly fine, and I don't look like anything's wrong at all."

Bronya carefully examined Xing He before letting out a sigh of relief and quickly sitting down next to the others.

Once everyone was present, Himeko said, "Let's get down to business. Xiao Xinghe, I came to Yalilo specifically to tell you and March 7 about the conflict between the market development department of Interstellar Peace Company and the Starry Sky Train."

"A holiday?" Xing He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He never expected that even a righteous person as famous throughout the universe as the Starry Sky Train would have enemies.

Himeko nodded: "The current head of the market development department, Oswaldo Schneider, was a former nameless customer. He committed several acts that were despicable to all nameless customers, and was eventually dismissed from the nameless customer list by the train conductor. That's how our feud began."

Emerald continued, picking up where Himeko left off, "The Strategic Investment Department also has a history with the Market Development Department. We're here to remind you, Director Xing He, that someone from the Market Development Department has come to Yalilo, and he might do something detrimental to you."

Xing He immediately thought of Chad, who had been fawning over him: "Isn't that person named Chad?"

Jade was somewhat surprised: "Director Xing He, you've already contacted him?"

Xing He nodded and took several light cones out of his backpack and placed them on the table: "Giving me these treasures right off the bat, it's hard not to remember him."

Himeko scoffed when she saw the light cones: "Hmph, aren't these the light cones we were planning to give to the Starry Sky Train? Why did we give them to you instead after we couldn't give them to you? Little Xinghe, listen to me, we can't accept this gift. If you want light cones, I'll use the train's funds to buy them for you."

Jade couldn't help but speak up: "Director Xing He, if you need it, the Strategic Investment Department also has quite a few Light Cones. Just let me know."

Xing He smiled and shook his head: "It's alright, I've already copied these light cones."

With the conversion table, even if these light cones are rare, it's just a matter of spending some EMC value.

"Copy...copy?" Everyone was taken aback, but they quickly remembered Xing He's skill in copying credit points and were no longer surprised.

Jade even jokingly said, "The technology for making light cones is exclusive to Liuguang Yiting. Perhaps Director Xing He could use this to extort some money from Liuguang Yiting?"

"Isn't this not good?"

Xing He said it wasn't a good idea, but he was secretly tempted. What treasures were hidden in the Flowing Light Memory Court?

Just then, the Fool's Mask suddenly jumped out again, chuckling.

"Oh my old friend, we have guests at our cozy little house! Want to go check it out?"

Chapter 151 As long as we can get to that place! (Second update)

"Director, which one should we go in?"

One of the subordinates was stumped when he looked at the two houses in front of him. One house had a large area, but its style looked like a small, illegal workshop. After all, who would call a house that looks like a matchbox a base?

The other one is a wooden house with a rural, pastoral style. No matter how you look at it, these two do not look like what a base should look like.

In their minds, a base should be made entirely of metal, filled with various defensive weapons, and impregnable, not a wooden hut that could be burned down with a single fire.

Chad looked at the two houses in front of him, puzzled, and muttered, "Didn't Xing He give me shares in Diamond? Why is the base so shabby?"

However, he didn't have much time, so Chad didn't think too much about whether Xing He was stingy or had some other reason for building the base like this.

Chad's gaze swept carefully over the two houses: "Hmm, that big one looks like some kind of processing plant, while that wooden house is probably Xing He's private residence where he rests during his free time."

"Director, which one should we go to?" the subordinate couldn't help but ask again.

Chads thought for a moment and pointed to the cabin: "Naturally, we should go to where he rests. It should be used to store paper documents and the like. Maybe the technology to copy credit points is hidden inside. As for the factory, we can search the cabin first before going there."

"it is good!"

Chad led his men cautiously toward the wooden house, expecting the Iron Golems guarding the outside to stop them. Chad was prepared to have his men deal with the Iron Golems.

But to their surprise, the Iron Golems merely glanced at them before continuing their aimless patrols in the vicinity.

Seeing this, Chad couldn't help but scoff: "What's the use of this lump of iron? It's nowhere near as good as the machines in our company. It can't even do something as simple as guarding the gate. Pshaw, I thought Xing He's skills were some kind of amazing."

After making a dismissive sneer, Chad led his men to the door of the cabin, but he did not go in immediately. Instead, he had his men check the area around the door for any alarm devices.

"Reporting to the director, no alarm devices were found near this door."

Chad raised an eyebrow: "So careless? Or is he so confident in his reputation that he believes no one will dare to barge in? Ha, whichever it is, Xing He is far too confident. Come on, let's go in!"

Although they verbally expressed their disdain for Xing He's arrogance, Chad and the others still cautiously pushed open the wooden door and went inside. After everyone had gone in, they still did not find any traps.

Chad breathed a sigh of relief. He grinned and was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks to Xing He when suddenly a click came from the feet of his subordinate walking at the front.

Everyone froze instantly, standing rooted to the spot, too afraid to move. Then they heard the sound of something being pushed behind them.

Chad looked back and found that the wooden door had been blocked by two round stones, meaning they had lost their exit.

"There really was a trap! Damn it! Was this all part of your plan, Xing He?!"

After grumbling for a moment, Chad turned to his subordinate who had triggered the mechanism and asked with exasperation, "What did you step on?"

The subordinate, his face contorted with worry, remained on high alert, desperately trying to keep himself still: "I don't know, Director. Did I step on a landmine?"

Who would place landmines in their own resting area?

Another subordinate quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and examined it carefully before letting out a sigh of relief: "Director, don't worry, it's nothing dangerous. It's just a pressing board that's similar in material to the wooden floor. You can't tell the difference unless you look closely."

Chad breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's move on."

Having learned their lesson, the group moved forward with even greater caution, their eyes fixed on the ground, carefully examining each floorboard.

However, the group had only taken a few steps when they suddenly heard a tapping sound coming from the surrounding walls, and everyone's nerves immediately tensed up.

The next moment, several arrows shot out from the walls on both sides. The subordinates instinctively raised their weapons to block, and Chad also slipped among them to use their bodies to block.

However, just as the group raised their weapons to parry, several faint sounds of arrows piercing flesh rang out.

Everyone frantically checked their bodies, but couldn't find any place where they had been pierced by arrows, until one of them saw several arrows stuck in the anus of his companions, and pointed at their buttocks with a look of horror.

"On your butts!"

What happened to your butt?

The group turned their heads and saw arrows stuck in their buttocks. The pain slowly spread to their brains, accompanied by a strange smell.

"Ugh—what's that smell! Ugh—"

The nauseating taste made them forget the pain in their faces and they bent over vomiting uncontrollably.

Chad, hiding in the crowd, was secretly pleased that he had hidden himself, otherwise he would have been ambushed like these guys.
