Su Hao and the other two instinctively closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, they found that the lady's Crimson Lotus Butterfly had disappeared.

"Is she dead?" Hisa Shinobu thought the lady had died from that blow when he saw that the Crimson Butterfly was gone.

“No.” Su Hao shook his head. He looked at the trace of [lightning element] that had turned into a straight line in the distance and sighed, “No matter which lightning general it was, they wouldn’t have killed the Fool’s Enforcer at this time.”

"As the general just said, things shouldn't happen more than three times. This is the second time already. If there is a similar incident next time, then the person who comes will surely die."

Ella didn't speak. She sheathed her katana. Naturally, the battle was over, and she had to put her weapon away too.

"And..." Su Hao looked up at the sky. The Eye of God had disappeared by now. He said in a somewhat subtle tone, "The General has already left. It seems he doesn't intend to pursue this matter."

"This is a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, we didn't fight there, otherwise the resistance would have been implicated."

Before fighting the lady, Su Hao had wondered if using the power of the Thunder God would attract the Thunder General.

Given how highly Ying and the General regarded him, they were very likely to secretly glance at him and see the main force of the resistance army at that moment.

Given the general's thought process, he might just help the shogunate army to strike at the rebels, which would probably make things much worse.

As for his attack on the shogunate army, Su Hao was not afraid of being betrayed, since it was the Kujo clan generals who were making things difficult for him for no reason.

Su Hao now has the right to meet General Thunder directly; he is known as the Eternal Guardian.

Although he holds no official position, this title alone is enough to put him on par with, or even surpass, the three great ministers, and put him on the same level as Yae no Kami, a member of the Thunder God's family.

With that, Su Hao opened the chat group and reported the situation to Coral Palace Xin Hai.

This indicates that they will meet at the rebel camp at that time.

The battle here ended with General Thunder's intervention from a distance.

On the other side, a dull red lotus butterfly struggled to flap its wings before finally landing on the ground. After shimmering for a few moments, it returned to its original form.

The woman had lost her previous arrogance. She lay on the ground, covered in blood, but surprisingly, she did not die even with these injuries.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!!!”

The woman was cursing like a wronged woman, her voice revealing an indescribable anger, but she was lying on the ground, feeling her own weakness and powerlessness.

"What a sorry sight, madam." A boy wearing a mask that covered half of his face stepped out. He looked down at the woman lying on the ground and mocked, "I thought you could handle things better, but you're like a stragglers. You were taken down by the castle tower puppets as soon as you came up."

Laughter, yes, that's it.

"Hmph." The woman struggled to her feet, leaning against a nearby tree to stand up and prevent the young man from looking down at her.

The woman looked at the other person and said in a very unfriendly tone, "A slice of him from his childhood? Doctor, you really don't take the skirmishers seriously."

Yes, the masked boy in front of us is the second seat of the Fatui Enforcers—the Doctor.

Or rather... a slice of the doctor?

Each slice of tissue from the doctor's work has its own unique characteristics, processing methods, and differences in skill level.

Looking at the young doctor, the woman knew that he was extremely weak! Even weaker than herself!! He had probably only come to treat the wounded stragglers.

Could a young doctor really heal a skirmisher's injuries? After all, he was missing an arm and a leg.

"No, no, no, I value Scaramucci very much." The young doctor crossed his arms, looked at the disheveled lady, and shook his head with a smile, saying, "Originally, after arriving in Inazuma, I wanted to come to you first to obtain information."

"I didn't expect to see you luring out General Thunder and getting slashed by him as soon as I arrived. Although it wasn't a single, unexpected blow, the fact that you survived means your identity as the Winter Envoy is probably useless now."

The doctor's words made the woman's face even more somber, because she herself knew the truth.

By doing this, he had truly gotten rid of the "get-out-of-jail-free card" that was the Winter Solstice Envoy.

Compared to the stragglers, she made a bigger mistake: why did she bother chasing after Su Hao when she had nothing better to do!

If the other party is running away, why did you chase after them? As a result, trouble ensued.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now. Where is Scaramucci?" The young doctor didn't want to continue mocking the lady; she was a crazy woman.

If he continued to mock him, the other party might very well attack him. As a fellow Fatui executor, he couldn't go too far.

“He’s recuperating at the Evil Eye Factory.” The woman steadied herself, temporarily freezing her wounds with ice. She looked at the Doctor coldly and said, “Perfect, I’m going to find him too.”

"I suspect that Su Hao did not tell me the truth about the information he provided."

Based on Su Hao's attack methods and General Thunder's actions, the woman had some guesses.

These conjectures could only be obtained through direct combat with Su Hao. The soldier said he had fought Su Hao twice and it was impossible for him not to know this information.

In other words... she had been tricked by the other party! Therefore, the lady wanted to return to the Evil Eye Factory to cause trouble for the stragglers.

"Su Hao?"

The young professor, who had initially intended to end the conversation there, suddenly showed an interested expression and looked at the woman, asking, "You saw him?"

"Didn't you read the intelligence?" The woman glanced sideways at the young doctor.

"I rushed to Inazuma as soon as I learned that Skaramsey had lost a hand and a leg to General Thunder, otherwise I would still be in Liyue right now," the young professor said with a chuckle.

His implication was that he simply didn't have time to look at the intelligence the Fools had been gathering recently.

“He’s no ordinary brewer anymore,” the woman said with a very unfriendly expression. “Both the skirmisher and I might have fallen into his hands. He is very likely a brand new puppet created by General Thunder.”

"Or rather, he is a familiar of the Thunder God, similar to Yae no Miko. Whichever possibility it is, he must have a very close relationship with that Thunder God."

At this point, the woman placed her hand on her abdomen, where the wound was still throbbing slightly.

"Is that so?" A strange light flashed in the young doctor's eyes; he seemed to be pondering something.

Seeing the doctor right next to her, the lady couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why did you give the order to bring Su Hao to the Winter Kingdom? What's so special about the wine he brews?"

"Or did you already know his identity?"

Among the Fools' executives, the first to notice Su Hao's special qualities was the Doctor.

Both the lady and the stragglers only began to take Su Hao seriously after they suffered losses with him.

Therefore, the lady was very curious as to why the doctor had given such an order.

“It’s not that I know his identity.” The young doctor didn’t intend to hide anything. He walked forward and said slowly, “It’s just that the wine he brews can increase lightning resistance and improve a person’s physique without any side effects.”

"Whether it's my research on human modification, drug enhancement of the human body, or mechanical modification, they all have their flaws."

"But the wine he brews has no side effects, although the improvement is only a little and the upper limit is not high."

"But this alone is enough to prove his extraordinary nature, which is why I ordered the Inazuma Fools to capture him."

Hearing the doctor's words, the woman frowned slightly. She looked at the doctor and said, "Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had revealed this information, I might have captured him before he even grew up."

The lady had the opportunity to capture Su Hao back then, when Su Hao's aura wasn't as strong as it is now.

"Why should I say that?" the doctor asked matter-of-factly, turning to the woman and saying, "Would I tell you so you could compete with me for talent?"

"You!" The woman was a little angry, but she quickly calmed down.

Indeed, if the executives knew Su Hao's value, they would definitely resort to underhanded tactics to bring him into their camp.

The Fatui Enforcers are not a monolithic group; they have come together for the sake of the Ice Queen's ideals or for their own purposes.

That's why the doctor mocked the lady, the lady ridiculed the skirmisher, and the skirmisher despised the lady.

"Alright, it's too late to say all this now." The young professor said nonchalantly, a smile on his face, "He has already shown his potential."

"It's just that someone as talented as him is wasting his potential by staying in Inazuma, just like Scaramucci. He should have joined the Fools."

Chapter 84 The United and Loving Executives

The woman and the doctor returned together to the Evil Eye Factory in Inazuma City.

The Fools guarding the outside were shocked by the lady's disheveled state, but also showed awe at the arrival of the Doctor.

As everyone knows, among the Fatui Enforcers, one of the most dangerous people to offend is the Doctor, because his personality is extremely unpredictable.

After all, the Doctor is not "one person"; he has many slices, and those slices are also "the Doctor".

This is why each PhD student has a slightly different personality; some are easy to get along with, while others are extremely difficult to please.

Therefore, the fools were filled with awe at the arrival of the wise man, and dared not even breathe loudly.

"Send someone to the outlying island." The doctor looked at the group of fools beside him and calmly gave the order: "The equipment I brought is still on the ship. Go and retrieve it."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, the female Fool in charge of diplomacy looked troubled. She hesitated and said, "Doctor, Inazuma is quite hostile towards us Fools right now. Could we wait until nightfall to take action?"

Because of the matter of the Kansei Magistrate, the current head of the Hiiragi family on the outlying island is very hostile towards them.

Even without the head of the Hiiragi family, most of the nobles and people on the outlying islands were quite hostile towards the Jujinshu, as if all the bad things were caused by the Jujinshu.

This made the Fools cry out in protest, "This has nothing to do with us! We only did some dirty work! Everything else was done by Shinsuke Hiiragi himself!"

The island's current dilapidated state has only a tiny part to do with the Fools; the majority of the problem was orchestrated by Shinsuke Hiiragi.

However, the inowomen and the officials in charge of the surveying and decree didn't care about any of this; they directly shifted all the blame onto the foolish crowd.

Therefore, for the Fools, the islands are now extremely difficult to traverse.

It's a good thing if they don't get rotten eggs thrown at them when they show up.

"Why are you panicking?"

The doctor remained calm, looking at the group of fools and saying, "We entered Inazuma through proper procedures, and those devices are all civilian equipment."

"And even if the Kansei Enforcement wants to find fault, they won't be able to find it in us, the Gujinshu. The Hiiragi family is in dire straits right now. As long as you do your job efficiently and don't give those good-for-nothings any leverage over you, you'll be fine."

After leaving those words, the doctor said nothing more and walked into the factory.

The female fools standing to the side could only smile wryly. What could she say? Was this just the Doctor's personality? Just as the legends said.

The woman did not refute the doctor; she followed him into the Evil Eye Factory.

Because the doctor was right when he said that although the environment on the outlying islands is currently unfavorable to the Fools, the Hiiragi family and the Kansei Magistrate are now working to remedy the series of problems left behind by Hiiragi Shinsuke.

There's simply not much time to cause trouble for the Fools. As long as the person in charge isn't stupid, there won't be any problems.

The lady and the doctor quickly arrived at the house where the skirmishers were.

"Crench."

The sound of the door being opened rang out.

The soldier slowly raised his head and looked at the lady and the doctor at the door.

"Ah."

Then the soldier revealed a mocking smile, because he could see that the woman's expression and demeanor clearly indicated that she had suffered a great loss.
