Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

After a while, the waitress brought over the coffee, followed by a pink-haired Liberian girl.

"Sir, all the other seats are taken. Would you mind if I shared a table with you?" The girl walked up to Qin Duanyu and gave a ladylike bow, tugging at the hem of her skirt.

She was dressed in a blue and white dress and carried a parasol that was more decorative than practical. She didn't look like a guest on vacation at all, but rather like a young lady taking a stroll in her own backyard.

"Please make yourself at home. It's my honor to have tea with such a beautiful lady." Qin Duanyu nodded slightly, then naturally stood up and pulled out a chair for her.

"Thank you for the compliment, you are a true gentleman." The girl nodded in acknowledgment and smiled.

"You flatter me, Miss. I was just imitating what you were doing." Qin Duanyu took a sip of coffee, secretly thanking Swire and Melantha. These two young ladies from the Philine family had given him a crash course in Victorian etiquette.

It seems to be working well; the young lady has a very good first impression of him.

"Although the coffee at this shop is good, their tea-brewing skills are unparalleled. The tea leaves are imported from Victoria. It would be a shame to miss it," the girl said with some regret as she looked at the drink in Qin Duanyu's cup.

"Judging from your habits, Miss, you must be Victorian, right?" Qin Duanyu asked tentatively, pretending not to know.

“I’m a native of Siesta, but you have a very good eye. I did study in Victoria for a long time.” The girl was slightly surprised, then praised her.

I know more than just that you studied in Victoria; I also know you're the mayor's daughter. Qin Duanyu continued chatting with her about various interesting things, making the girl excited and charming, which also helped to build a closer relationship.

"So, Miss, you're a graduate of Originium Research?" Qin Duanyu asked, feigning surprise after a moment.

"Yes, originally I was focused on the application and development of Originium technology, wanting to come back and better build Siesta. However, due to some special reasons, I changed my research direction to Oripathy without authorization."

"Special reasons? As far as I know, these two research directions are quite different. Research on Oripathy is not limited to understanding the properties of Originium; it also requires a certain amount of medical knowledge. It seems that Miss has quite a talent."

“No, it’s just because… someone very important to me, she’s infected, and I want to cure her!” The girl gave a bitter smile and shook her head helplessly. “Doesn’t this dream sound ridiculous? Even a three-year-old knows that this disease is incurable.”

"Why would such a grand dream be ridiculed?" Qin Duanyu asked mysteriously with a strange smile. "Miss, have you ever heard of Rhodes Island?"

"No, but it sounds familiar. Judging from the name, could it be some kind of mercenary organization?" The girl shook her head decisively, but Qin Duanyu had piqued her curiosity.

"It's a pharmaceutical company that mainly treats Oripathy. There are many researchers there with the same goal as you. Your dream isn't unique," he said in a gentle tone, much like someone selling health products.

Based on the information revealed by the girl, he finally pieced together the complete logical chain. In the game, it should be that this Ceylon lady joined Rhodes Island in order to research Oripathy, and Schwarz, as her bodyguard, also became an operator.

After all, the mayor's daughter has already come to the island, so how far away can the son-in-law be?

However, Ceylon was clearly not the naive and innocent young lady from a novel who could be tricked into going to Rhodes Island with just empty words. Qin Duanyu was not confident enough to do that, but leaving an impression was still a good start.

At this moment, Qin Duanyu, through God's-eye view, discovered that Lappland and the others had finally left with large bags and small packages. She had no choice but to finish all her coffee and then give Ceylon an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, my companion has arrived. Let me introduce myself, I am Qin Duanyu, and I am the security director of Rhodes Island."

"Hehe, so you're recruiting for the company. No wonder you're so enthusiastic. I'll consider your suggestion." The girl extended her hand and shook his. "My name is Ceylon, an Originium research scholar. I look forward to meeting you again."

Although both are responsible for security protection, this Mr. Qin is really... Black could probably handle a dozen people like him. How does he manage his soldiers?

Oh right, the medicine Black has been taking lately seems to be produced by Rhodes Island! Ceylon suddenly remembered that Siesta recently purchased a large batch of high-quality and inexpensive Oripathy suppressants. Although the shipping location was Lungmen, the trademarks were not from any of the local companies she was familiar with.

It seems she really needs to check out this company, but before that, she needs to go to the volcano to confirm some important things.

……

When Qin Duanyu crossed the street and arrived in front of the lingerie store, the messengers of natural disasters had already left. In addition to their vacation, they also needed to go to the volcano to collect some data, so they went back to rest early. Thus, only Lappland and Texas remained.

Lappland had intended to greet Qin Duanyu and perhaps tease him a little with her new lingerie, but after sniffing it carefully, she frowned and looked at Texas, who gave a barely perceptible nod.

He smelled of an unfamiliar perfume!

But before I could ask any questions, two completely different ringtones suddenly rang out.

"Doctor, we're on Fourth Avenue. Lappland is next to you, right? Bring her over here right now! Hurry, Gummy and the others can't hold out much longer!"

"Texas, get to Fourth Avenue right now! Ah Neng and I are about to die!"

I've found the reason I wasn't feeling well a few days ago: acute gastroenteritis... I went to the hospital for an IV drip, so the update is a little late. That's all for today.

I'm currently three chapters behind again, so I'll post a picture as an apology.

Chapter 16, Section 123: The Business World is Like a Battlefield; Double Wolf Maid Outfits

Judging from Amiya's anxious tone on the phone, had she gotten into a fight?

Adhering to the principle that Rhodes Island operators should not be bullied by outsiders, Qin Duanyu immediately kicked over ACE and his group of idiots after receiving the call for help, and dragged these strong men straight to Fourth Avenue.

Although both the girls in Operation C2 and Amiya herself possess terrifying combat power, they are undeniably cute. Who can guarantee that there aren't any fearless gentlemen among them?

ACE and others are also eager to get started. A vacation is nice, but it would also be good to get some exercise and stretch their muscles during the vacation.

But when they arrived at their destination, Qin Duanyu and the others were stunned.

Amiya and her friends were indeed surrounded by a large group of drooling people, but these tourists were clearly not there for group sex.

"Hello, one Olive salad, one cheese lobster roll, and two mango martini smoothies."

"A seafood baked rice, and a special strawberry tequila double scoop ice cream!"

"Little girl, two cups of rice wine pearl pudding milk tea, and that lobster meat patty."

The rich aroma of the food drew tourists waving their blue banknotes and surging forward. If it weren't for Winter maintaining order, the makeshift stalls would probably have collapsed from the crowd.

"Great! With so many people helping out, we can finally relax a bit." Gummy opened the side door and beckoned everyone to come over.

"Wait, why did you suddenly set up a stall here?" Qin Duanyu asked, somewhat puzzled. Although Gu Mi was a hardworking and down-to-earth girl, she was definitely not the type to feel restless if she didn't work for a day.

"Because the food area here offers tourists a chance to show off their skills, it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to showcase Ursus's cuisine, so I dragged Amiya and the others to rent a stall," Gummy said with a smile, her hands moving swiftly.

On the other side, Texas watched Croissant ride away on her electric scooter, then grabbed Exusiai, who was also about to go out to deliver food: "Aren't you guys protecting the boss?"

"Haha, what can I do? I just happened to run into an acquaintance while I was out for a stroll, so I decided to patronize Miss Gummy's business. Who knew her food was so delicious? I couldn't resist eating a lot, and now I have to work to pay off my debt." Exusiai scratched the back of her head and said apologetically.

Texas nodded almost imperceptibly and joined in helping deliver the groceries.

"Doctor, in order to better showcase the charm of Ursus cuisine to people, we need your command and coordination skills."

"Using battlefield command in this kind of situation feels like a waste of talent. Besides, everyone's here on vacation; it just doesn't make sense to expect them to work overtime..."

"Tonight's earnings can be considered part of the operations department's reserves. Just between you and me, we've already made that much."

"Everyone, stop standing around and get moving! The marketplace is a battlefield; we can't afford to slack off!"

Upon hearing the numbers from Gumi, Qin Duanyu immediately activated the command module and issued orders methodically, getting the operators busy.

"Doctor, look!" A moment later, Amiya pushed a girl over.

Lapland?

At this moment, she was wearing the same maid outfit as Amiya, but unlike the little bunny who still had a childish look, her curvaceous figure paired with the well-fitting black and white maid outfit showed the charm of a mature woman. In particular, her non-prescription glasses concealed the madness hidden in her eyes and also covered the scar at the corner of her eye.

Surprisingly, it has an indescribable cuteness about it.

"If you like it, I can wear it for you when I become your assistant." Lappland winked, smiled, and walked to the table next to her to ask the guests, leaving only a dashing back view.

"I also prepared one for Miss Texas, but she doesn't seem to like it. She went to deliver food with Exusiai and the others," Amiya sighed, sounding slightly regretful.

No wonder Lappland is so happy; it seems that Texas really failed this time.

……

Qin Duanyu was overjoyed as she worked late into the night, silently calculating her earnings. With a wave of her hand, she led her team to the nearest beach to throw a party. However, the girls from Penguin Logistics secretly left.

"I confirmed it when I came to deliver the food before; all the targets are inside." In an alley on Fourth Avenue, Exusiai was taking weapons out of a box.

"What's going on this time?" Texas asked slowly, taking out a box of cookies.

"Some ignorant little mice tried to steal the boss's cheese, but they crossed the line and were ordered to be eliminated by that guy from Lungmen." Exusiai checked the magazine and cocked it with a crisp click. "What a pity, these ignorant guys seem to have blamed the boss."

"You wouldn't believe it, they actually tried to blow up the boss and the stage together. Luckily, Ah Neng spotted something was wrong." Croissant wiped his shield and said helplessly, "Even though we deactivated the most powerful one, the rest were used by the audience for entertainment purposes, and the response was surprisingly good. But the boss is very angry, and the consequences will be severe. He has decided to teach these people a lesson."

"Is it really necessary to call me over for such a trivial matter?" Texas said, frowning as she picked up a Pocky stick.

They had done similar things many times in the past, but teaching a lesson to competitors was too time-consuming. They also had to follow the boss's requirements and divide the injury into several levels: minor injury, serious injury, and disability. It couldn't be too light or too heavy, which was especially tiring.

“This isn’t Lungmen. The boss has already spoken to that guy from Siesta. So, like the Doctor said, the business world is like a battlefield; it’s normal for people to die here.” Croissant said with a laugh, then suddenly rushed forward and slammed open the door. “Penguin Logistics delivers packages; everyone gets one, no one misses out!”

The Rupert man sitting on the outermost side quickly stood up, but before he could call out to his companions in the inner room, a powerful hammer was slammed into his face.

Clap!

-

With a crisp sound of a hard object striking another, a watermelon was smashed into pieces by a wooden knife, and the broken pieces of fruit flew everywhere.

"Doctor, you're amazing! You can hit the target even if you're blindfolded and spinning around ten times!" Amiya clapped her hands and distributed the watermelon to everyone.

-

"Alright then, let's hurry up and deal with this, or the party will be over by the time we get back." Texas thought for a moment, then followed closely behind Croissant, blocking the enemy who was trying to attack Exusiai.

She deftly dodged the descending longsword, the golden blade tracing a beautiful arc.

Pfft!

-

With a dull thud as metal pierced flesh, a golden-brown, crispy pork chop was shattered by the sharp blade, the skillful application of force demonstrating the astonishing skill of the wielder.

"Doctor, you're so inexperienced! This is how you cut pork chops so they're perfect for eating with toothpicks! Oh, and you need to add some seasonings too," Gummy said with a smile, sprinkling lemon juice on the grilled meat.

-

Soon, more than a dozen enemies fell into pools of blood. Texas stared at the dripping blood on the blade and fell into deep thought.

A long-awaited killing made her realize that after spending so much time with the doctor, her mindset seemed to have changed. She even shouted out such shameful words in a bar, just like an ordinary little girl experiencing her first love.

While Lappland's influence certainly played a part, ultimately it was Qin Duanyu who subtly changed her, much like a tamed, silly dog; she seemed to have been tamed without even realizing it.

Even in the Texas of the past, people wouldn't have thought about these strange things at all.

The Syracuse gangsters who died at her and Lappland's hands in the past would never have imagined that one day Lappland would put on a cute maid outfit and try her best to suppress her inner madness for a man, even if she looked silly and didn't care.

And she's no better off, actually competing with such a fool for the same person.

It's truly unbearable to look at.

"Let's go, let's find a place to shower before going to the party!"

"Free food and drinks, here I come!"

Croissant and Exusiai, just like always, chatted and made a ruckus as they prepared to leave after finishing their work. Texas smiled as she watched their eager expressions.
