Talulah, I'm still a child.

Mei Xue shook his head. He hadn't exercised much today and didn't feel hungry at all. Besides, there was plenty of food in his tail. Lin Qingyan said it was best not to go out for the time being, so Mei Xue only went to see Viviana and didn't go out again.

"Then I'll have them bring it up."

As Li was speaking, he took out his communicator to call the person in charge of lower-level security to bring up dinner, and then he saw the most eye-catching message at the top of the message list.

"What?! All five board members are dead, and they were struck by lightning?!"

Hinterlea was so surprised that she dropped her knife and fork. Due to the interference of the Supervisory Council, her mission to protect Mei Xue was now suspended. She had been looking forward to relaxing, but she never expected to receive such news from Qing Jin via phone.

Fortunately, this was a private room; otherwise, the noise we just heard would have attracted a lot of attention.

"Yes, and it's too coincidental. The people around the directors only suffered injuries of varying degrees. If it were just one director, it would be fine, but five directors died in a row. This is hard to explain as a simple accident."

Monique on the other end of the phone still wore her usual world-weary expression, as if to say, "This world is so boring, let's just destroy it." But Platinum knew that when she heard the news, she was probably no better off than herself.

"Struck by lightning... What did the higher-ups say?"

"That blonde woman from the Great Yan is a descendant of the Celestial Master's Mansion and has learned thunder magic, but at the time of the incident she was talking with the Grand Knight Commander and no other traces of spellcasting were found."

At this point, Monique also felt a headache coming on. No matter how you look at it, this matter seemed like a simple accident, but why did it happen to kill those directors? It couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Most importantly, the five directors who died were representatives of the companies that suffered the most damage in this "Candle Knight underground love affair" incident, and they were also the ones who strongly advocated using tough measures against Mei Xue and Viviana. Given this relationship, who dares to say that there is nothing fishy going on behind the scenes?

Moreover, all the buildings in Kazimierz have lightning rods, so such an accident is possible.

"A lightning strike... Could it be him...?"

Bai Jin suddenly remembered the trick Mei Xue had shown him earlier that day, the little fox's abilities back then... Could he really control the weather?

"What about him? Do you have any leads?"

"No, I just remembered something. A sorcerer who can summon lightning to attack others is not someone you should offend."

For some reason, Platinum subconsciously concealed Mei Xue's situation, and Qingjin Monique didn't care much. Even if Platinum revealed her guess, she wouldn't believe it. It's possible that a sorcerer could summon lightning, but to say that someone could manipulate the weather is pure fantasy. Such a talent would be kept in a prestigious position (which it was), and wouldn't be allowed to run around freely.

(Mei Xue: Achoo! Is someone offering incense and sacrifices to me again?)

"It's not good to offend them, but there's nothing we can do. We're just tools in the hands of the Business Federation. They pay us to do things, it's that simple."

"Then this time..."

“It’s not just me and Roy; Xuan Tie will provide support when necessary.”

In the past, Miss Platinum would have felt reassured upon hearing the name Xuan Tie, but ever since she learned that Ghost Shark had single-handedly shattered the Wuzhou Alliance, she had the illusion that "Xuan Tie is nothing special."

"And what about my task?"

"Keep an eye on that Mei Xue. After all, the Business Federation isn't a monolith. Every director has their own ideas, and not everyone is so angry."

"Row."

Platinum hung up the phone and looked at the exquisite pastries in front of her, completely losing her appetite.

"Saying I'm not that angry is just a euphemism; in the end, I still can't afford to offend the Great Yan..."

With a helpless sigh, Miss Platinum knew the Business Federation's plans. Their biggest advantage was that Great Yan and Kazimierz were far apart, and the other side could not possibly launch a large-scale invasion like Ursus.

But neither the Business Federation nor the Unarmored Alliance knew that Mei Xue had her own unique team, a hundred-strong army capable of turning the entire Terra upside down.

The Sirens, a race created by Mei Xue, are few in number but possess extremely high combat power and intelligence that basically surpasses that of most humans.

The former emperor of Ursus once said: Four inner guards can sweep through a settlement, and three Wendigos can conquer a small town.

However, the Great Yan side stated: Three Sirens are enough for us.

When the soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty saw this group of Siren lolis pinning down and hammering a demonic entity that was hundreds of meters tall, the soldiers' jaws dropped open.

Such a powerful ally was naturally welcomed by the Great Yan and they were treated with the utmost respect. The Sirens enjoyed all the rights that the people of Great Yan should have, and these girls also did their best to help a lot. At least Great Yan could rest assured about the south for now. Even the Jade Gate had the help of the Sirens, but they rotated every month, with each team consisting of ten people.

However, according to reports from Yumen, the northern demons were particularly powerless against the Sirens. All non-physical attacks had little effect on them, and it was extremely difficult to inflict physical damage on them. It would take at least one blow to penetrate a three-meter-thick D32 steel plate.

Because of the shift system, the Siren lolis have their own things to do when they're not busy, such as playing games, drinking tea, farming, or doing research. I heard they've already started researching how to cure Oripathy.

However, when the old master was holding his Go set, intending to get revenge for the losses he had suffered the day before yesterday and last month, he discovered that the sirens had gathered in the square.

"Sisters, we are now facing the greatest crisis in the history of our race, and perhaps the greatest crisis of all time!"

"Ohhhhh!"

Our goal is!

"Let the whole world admire Mei Xue's brilliance! The little fox is the cutest in the world!"

"Have a party with your master!"

Gatanothor alone silenced all the sirens' voices. The girls fell silent, seemingly shocked by the youngest's audacity, but they quickly recovered.

"Holding a Y-Party with Master!" ×100

Three hundred sirens, fifty of whom take turns guarding the Jade Gate Pass of the Great Yan, and fifty of whom guard the home and conduct research. Apart from those who patrol the sea and drive away the sea monsters, the rest are all here.

What are they doing?

The old master looked at Ulbian, a very kind old man. If he hadn't made a move, no one would have thought that this old man could split a mountain with a single bolt of lightning. However, the old master's chess skills were not very good, and he was evenly matched with Ulbian. The two had a decent relationship.

"It seems... her boyfriend was stolen."

"Oh... Ah?!"

Regardless of the old master's reaction, Amaya looked at her sisters. Since the Great Yan side had mentioned that Kazimierz's territory and combat power were not very high, in any case, it was far inferior to Great Yan, so a hundred Sirens should be enough to handle it!

Yes, overthrow Kazimierz! Protect the best Mei Xue in the world!

A huge wave of sirens is heading towards Kazimierz!

Meanwhile, Rhodes Island was also on its way. W, who was about to catch up with the main force, was so angry that she almost smashed her communicator.

"Are you in such a hurry to be reborn? Why are you driving so fast?"

The PhD student on the other end of the phone held it further away to avoid being yelled at by W until she was deaf.

She glanced at the girls who were waiting solemnly. The fact that Mei Xue had gotten her marriage certificate was quite a shock to Rhodes Island. Rosemary and Witch were already thinking about putting Mei Xue under house arrest, and Lily of the Valley had even prepared a scarecrow for Viviana, seemingly planning to cast a curse.

Although Surtr and Mostima and the others looked no different from usual, their auras said it all. Amiya was smiling, but her smile was even more dangerous than W's!

"Do you know how much effort it took me to deliver this letter? I almost died in that city! Mei Xue, give me three days, or I'll blow up Rhodes Island!"

"Stop cursing! If you keep cursing, Mei Xue's wedding banquet won't even be as good as the leftovers!"

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. The doctor knew what was going to happen next, so he simply hung up the communicator, but W's voice was still very clear!

"That damn bitch dared to rape me, I'll definitely fuck her to death!!"

Okay, another one has exploded, and Kazimir is in grave danger.

Chapter 309 Mei Xue and Ghost Shark's Shopping Trip

Five directors died, all at the same time and from the same cause. Who would believe there wasn't something fishy going on behind the scenes?

There are all sorts of bad rumors circulating outside, and some people have even posted that these directors have done too many bad things and that's why they were struck by lightning (this was actually posted by Lin Qingyan). While this statement is indeed true, the Business Federation has been incompetent for quite some time now.

But there's no such thing as a coincidence in the world, so the remaining directors of the Business Federation couldn't help but feel a bit... well, they only had one thought right now: time to pop the champagne!

Yes, few of the business association's directors are currently focused on this bizarre lightning strike; they're more preoccupied with figuring out how to divide the assets of those five companies. Life? What is that? Does money matter?

The anxiety caused by the lightning strike lasted only one night. The next day, everyone realized what was happening and immediately began a battle for control.

With the directors of each company dead, their families will find it difficult to maintain the business. They will have to make many choices, letting go of the parts they cannot control, otherwise they will not have time to take care of them and it will only benefit others.

It's important to understand that every director of the business association is a wealthy and influential person, so such a sudden death is bound to cause a great uproar. Even though they usually seem amicable, if someone in trouble were to fall from grace, not kicking them while they're down would be considered extremely kind.

Therefore, the Business Federation is currently very busy. As for the strange lightning strike, it's left to the Unarmored Alliance to investigate. Anyway, once the investigation is complete, the assets of those companies will basically be taken over by them...

"Who's so fast? They snatched them all!"

Seeing the message "Operation invalid, sold by the other party" displayed on their computer screens, the directors of each company were bewildered. In just one day, how could their companies, such as Marigold and Wine Report, have been registered under other people's names?

"Where did Rhodes Island even come from?"

Yes, just last night when everyone in the Business Federation was on edge, these companies, which are among the top in Casimir, have already been branded as Rhode Island and become subsidiaries of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals.

Of course, Rhodes Island, which is still on its way, cannot do this, and Rhodes Island does not have enough funds to acquire so many large companies.

But Mei Xue is rich, not just from winning the lottery, which wouldn't be enough to buy so many companies.

Actually, before coming here, Mei Xue had received a task from the Doctor, hoping that he could get a piece of land for Rhodes Island in Kazimierz to serve as a new office in Kazimierz. Mei Xue only remembered this last night.

Then, when she woke up, she saw that companies like Marigold and Red Wine News had started listing themselves for sale. Mei Xue then took out the bank card that Swire had given her, as well as the salary and benefits that Da Yan had supposedly provided for her over thousands of years, plus the dividends from Columbia. She then generously bought all these companies, planning to have the Doctor and Kal'tsit praise her later.

"But it seems like I'm out of money again..."

After glancing at her bank balance, Mei Xue couldn't help but roll around on the bed. The little fox had become poor again.

"Wait, my sister didn't say anything about not being able to buy lottery tickets, did she?"

The little fox hugged its tail and gently sucked its index finger as it pondered. Lin Qingyan had indeed never said such a thing; he had only told the fox to be careful when going out and not to go out alone.

But last night, Li received news that he had to leave, and Lin Qingyan also went to take care of the companies that Mei Xue had bought. So, only one person was left to accompany the little fox out.

"Sister Shark~"

The little fox unceremoniously pushed open Ghost Shark's door, pounced on the bed, then skillfully burrowed under the covers, rubbed against her chest, and gave her a kiss as a greeting. Hmm, that way she wouldn't have to worry about Ghost Shark not wanting to come with her later.

As for the nickname "Sister Shark," it was Ghost Shark who asked her to call him that. After all, their relationship had reached its peak, and calling him by Ghost Shark's code name didn't feel quite right. Calling him Laurentina might confuse some readers, so after thinking it over, this was the best option.

No, it's definitely not because Skadi brags that Meixue calls her "Sister Skadi" that she's upset.

"Why are you being so clingy? Do you want to play together again?"

Specter covered her mouth and chuckled. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Mei Xue had done this countless times, but last night she still couldn't resist sneaking over to sleep with her. Specter naturally "ate" her several times without any politeness. After all, Gravel and Platinum were not around, so it was understandable for her as a bodyguard.

"Hmm, would you like to go out with me, sister?"

Mei Xue's understanding of "playing" was clearly different from Ghost Shark's. Seeing the little fox's eyes shining, Ghost Shark helplessly rubbed his ears.

"It's not that it's impossible, but you're practically public enemy number one now. Going out might cause trouble."

Ghost Shark wasn't worried about Mei Xue getting into trouble. Putting aside how terrible the little fox's luck was, how could she not protect Mei Xue?

But because Mei Xue's luck is so unreasonable, anyone who tries to harm her will likely end up badly. Ghost Shark also follows the news in Kazimierz and naturally knows about the five directors being struck by lightning. Many people who inquired about Mei Xue also suffered some misfortune. Yesterday, Kazimierz's hospital was booming.

So it's not that I'm worried about my beloved little fox getting into trouble, it's that I'm worried about those people getting into trouble.

"Okay then..."
