Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Although he didn't know how a pharmaceutical company could have such professional natural disaster experts, anyone standing in his way was obviously an enemy, and he couldn't wait to fight them to the death.

……

The bright sunshine shone on the beach, and a young couple ran hand in hand. Their energetic and passionate appearance evoked memories of countless elderly people sunbathing in the sun, memories of their lost youth.

Being young is wonderful.

"Doctor, didn't you say you had some of your men around here? Why are we still running?" Seeing that Qin Duanyu showed no sign of slowing down, Ceylon asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's not appropriate. If it's just me alone, it can be explained as a private matter. But if they get involved, the nature of the incident becomes serious, and it might be falsely accused of being an invasion by Rhodes Island," Qin Duanyu sighed and said helplessly.

If things escalate to that level, the number of enemies we'll face will likely increase exponentially. It's not that we're afraid of being unable to defeat them; given the current strength that Siesta has demonstrated, they might not actually be a match for Rhodes Island's operations department.

At the very least, if he really wanted to organize a decapitation strike, Siesta would be absolutely powerless to resist. And once he controlled Kronen and Herman, it would be equivalent to indirectly controlling the city, which was much more sophisticated than the violent takeover by the Reunion Movement.

At the same time, this also solved the problem of the volcanic disaster, and with the publicity from these people, Rhodes Island's reputation would naturally be much better than Talulah's...

"Pah, what am I thinking? If I really did that, Amiya would kick me to death!" Qin Duanyu shook her head, suppressing this strange yet tempting thought.

“But if this continues, we’ll never shake them off,” Ceylon asked worriedly, completely unaware of the terrible thoughts the man before her was contemplating.

"They certainly can't get involved in the battle because of this, but that doesn't mean they can't use other reasons." Qin Duanyu smiled mysteriously, having already made arrangements in the telepathic communication.

"So what should we do now?"

"Let me get you a change of clothes first; this dress is just too eye-catching."

Qin Duanyu pointed to Ceylon and said with a smile.

“Miss Ceylon and the others seem to be running out of energy. Everyone, give it your all.” Seeing the two slow down, another bodyguard captain growled, “Be careful, don’t cause any trouble.”

Having witnessed the miserable state of their previous group of brothers, this group of bodyguards had clearly learned their lesson, carefully avoiding any conflicts or accidents, lest they offend any big shots who were out having fun with their kids again.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge mound of earth collapsed with a crash.

"No—what have you done? You've ruined all our hard work this morning!" ACE let out a pitiful wail, then stormed toward the bodyguard captain.

"I...I didn't, it fell by itself..." Surrounded by ACE and his group of burly men, each of whom was a head taller than him, the bodyguard captain was at a loss.

"Still trying to argue! There's no wind or waves here, how could it collapse on its own? Are you implying that our technology is inadequate?" Aodi withdrew his hand from the ground and said without batting an eye.

"Damn it, since you dare to step on our sand sculpture, then we'll beat you into a sand sculpture!" ACE suddenly roared, grabbed the surfboard next to him, and swung it at the bodyguard captain's face.

“This is the second time we’ve lost to those kids. It’s all your fault. Get back to the boss right now!” Jiejie followed closely behind, turning a bucket full of sand upside down on one of the bodyguards’ heads.

During the fight, the neighbor's castle was accidentally destroyed by ACE and his friends. The loud cries made the scene more complicated, and more and more people were drawn into it.

"What exactly happened up ahead?" By the time Hei arrived with the security bureau, Qin Duanyu and Xilan had already disappeared. She looked at the still chaotic crowd and asked with a frown.

"Those idiot bodyguards knocked over someone's sand sculpture during the chase, and then they started fighting with them." A subordinate helped an injured bodyguard over and scolded him irritably, "First they provoked the fans, then they bullied the kids, and now they've trampled on someone's sand sculpture. I think they're really idiots!"

"It's not that simple, they've been set up!" Hei glanced at ACE and the others who were leading the disturbance, and understood immediately. "Be careful, this is different from suppressing those fans."

With the arrival of the security personnel, ACE and his team clearly felt the pressure, and the crowd gradually calmed down.

boom!

Aodi, who was using a pot lid as a shield to hit people, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. He quickly turned to the side and raised the pot lid to block. Immediately, a huge force came and pushed him, plowing two deep grooves in the ground.

"HOPE, what's going on?" He looked at the half pot lid in his hand and asked hurriedly.

"He's a very skilled sniper, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of killing. He's using blunt arrows!" Hope said with a serious expression. Although the arrows fired by the other party were not sharpened, such a powerful crossbow would inevitably break a few bones if it hit him.

"That's a warning to us. It seems they don't want to escalate things. Mission accomplished, time to get out of here!" ACE glanced at the gray-haired film girl in the distance and frowned.

The official forces of Siesta have all been mobilized. Doctor, who exactly have you offended? You didn't actually kidnap the mayor's daughter, did you?

Chapter 30, Section 138: I Understand Miss Ceylon

It was the same hotel where Tianhuo and the others were staying, but the owner had just changed to a son, and Tianhuo felt that his worldview had been severely impacted.

Just now, a young couple rushed upstairs. He clearly remembered that these were the two people involved in the group activity that last night. The girl kept muttering words like "I can't take it anymore" and "I can't stand it."

It looked like some kind of unusual, vigorous activity had taken place; who knows, it might have been someone's fitting room. Before he could even begin to criticize the decadence of today's youth, another burly man with a thick beard came over and went straight to the luxury suite.

Is this...is this some new way to play?

"It seems I really am getting old and can't keep up with the pace of young people anymore." He sighed deeply, as if he had aged several years.

clap clap clap!

The crisp sound echoed in Tianhuo and the others' luxurious suite.

At this moment, the girls have already embarked on their journey to the depths of the volcano. Only Qin Duanyu, Ceylon, and ACE are in the room. After learning Ceylon's identity, ACE couldn't help but slap himself a few times.

You're a jinx! I didn't say anything out of the blue!

“Mr. ACE, what’s wrong?” Ceylon was startled and asked after a long pause.

"My tooth hurts," ACE said, clutching his forehead in pain.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm doomed ....

I was wondering why the professor was so kind. This morning, when I mentioned to him that I wanted to build a sand sculpture and asked if I could change the guard, he agreed so readily and told me to go play somewhere else.

If Amiya found out that I neglected my duties as a guard and that the Doctor took advantage of the situation to seduce the mayor's daughter... ACE didn't dare to think any further. This was definitely not a problem that could be solved by cleaning a chamber pot for Scuttle.

"ACE, what I'm about to say is very important, so please be mentally prepared," Qin Duanyu said solemnly.

“Go ahead and tell me.” ACE nodded. “Even if you told me that Miss Ceylon had a murder on her hands, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

"The volcano on the outskirts of this city is about to erupt!"

"What!?"

ACE's sunglasses fell to the ground. Having experienced the catastrophe in Chernobyl firsthand, no one wants to go through that apocalyptic despair again, not even him.

“This is the result from Rhodes Island. We only have about two weeks, maybe less.” Ceylon handed him a backup of the data. “But Acting Mayor Cronin seems to have some ulterior motives. Not only does he not approve of this report, but he also accused the Doctor of deceiving me.”

"What you see next is what happened next. We were being hunted by Kronin's men, and we only managed to escape thanks to my various tricks," Qin Duanyu added.

"Including forcing me to dismantle the sand sculpture to cause trouble?" ACE rolled his eyes, relying on his sunglasses. He still remembered how that tough guy almost cried when he ordered Aodi to destroy their masterpiece.

"There's no other way. If you join the battle directly, the situation will become even more unfavorable." Qin Duanyu shrugged. "At worst, I'll treat you to drinks in Longmen after we've succeeded."

"Doctor, your judgment is correct. Without a formal agreement, Rhodes Island cannot interfere in the internal affairs of independent city-states. This contradicts our consistent code of conduct and would make Rhodes Island's situation extremely difficult." Hearing this, ACE finally understood why Qin Duanyu had only notified him to come.

However, the current situation is indeed quite bad. Although there are a large number of operators on vacation nearby who can be used as combat power at any time, at this moment, only ACE can truly be considered as combat power.

Even a tough guy who could withstand Talulah's attacks couldn't overcome sheer numbers; he couldn't fight against the entire Siesta Defense Bureau.

So, ACE subconsciously looked at Qin Duanyu, and Ceylon seemed to have the same thought, staring intently at him.

"Doctor, for the sake of the people of Siesta, we need your unique wisdom. Please think of some more ingenious and effective methods!" Ceylon said sincerely, clasping his hands together.

"I suspect you're insulting me, and I have proof!"

"How could that be? Doctor, you must be overthinking it."

"In that case, tell me what you would do first. Don't leave me to waste my brain cells."

……

That evening, outside the Siesta television station.

Because the Obsidian Festival's grandest gala was about to take place at the Civic Square, with performances by many famous singers and bands, almost everyone had gathered in the city center.

There were very few pedestrians near the TV station.

"Hey, are you sure Miss Ceylon will come here?" a bodyguard asked, frowning and somewhat doubtful.

In order to maintain order, a lot of manpower had already been allocated to the Civic Square. Hei Qiang’s insistence on bringing people here undoubtedly further reduced the manpower, making the search for Ceylon much more difficult.

“I know Miss! Even if something really happened to Kronin, we can get to the city government within minutes,” Hei said coldly.

Having lived with Ceylon since childhood, she was very familiar with her young mistress's way of thinking. However, having not seen her for so long, she couldn't help but wonder if Ceylon had entered her rebellious phase and her thinking had changed.

As if to verify her words, just as the party was about to begin, that familiar blue and white dress appeared in front of the television station.

“Miss, I knew you would come here.” Black slowly emerged from the shadows, blocking Ceylon’s way. “After being stopped by Kronin, you will definitely want to use the television station to spread the information and let the whole city hear your report.”

“But this simply won’t work, Miss. Your approach will only create chaos. You may hate your father and this city, but the master has already given enough. You can’t destroy his hard work.”

Listening to these heartfelt words, the young lady opposite him remained motionless, seemingly lost in thought.

However, wasn't it taking a bit too long to think about it?

"Miss?" Black asked in confusion when Ceylon did not respond.

Just then, a deafening roar of shouts erupted from not far away, and the party finally began.

"Ah, the time has finally come. I don't know why you rich people like this kind of weird play, but please give me the remaining 10,000 LMD." Under the sun hat was a completely unfamiliar face.

???

A hint of doubt appeared on her dark face; this was not the scene she had imagined.

"She was a pink-haired young lady. She gave me two thousand Lungmen dollars and said that as long as I wore this outfit outside the TV station, people would come up to me and chat me up," the stranger said.

"Damn it, we've been tricked! Their target is the city hall!" Black realized immediately, but with the useless bunch left behind, by the time they got back, Ceylon would have already achieved their goal.

"Oh right, gray hair and golden eyes, that's you. I have a letter here that she wants to give to you." The girl took out a letter and said to the dark figure.

Hei reached out to take it, but the girl took it back.

"Give me the money!" Blackie glanced at the bodyguard behind him, but his mind was elsewhere.

Who did this young lady learn to be so bad from? I'm going to skin him alive!

Chapter 31, Section 139: Who told you we're here to find evidence?

A few minutes ago, inside the city hall.

Because of the party, a large number of people were sent to the scene to maintain order. Those who remained here were all Kronin's trusted confidants, and they were packing various documents and files into boxes and moving them away.

"Boss, didn't you say the transfer wouldn't be needed until next week? Why did Mr. Kronin suddenly change it to tonight?" A bodyguard wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Stop talking nonsense and just get to work. Anyway, following Mr. Cronin means you'll get paid, we just take the money and do our jobs." The head bodyguard said impatiently, his hands moving without slowing down.

As an old man whom Kronin had personally promoted, he naturally knew more than his subordinates, especially after learning from them that the volcano was about to erupt. He couldn't wait to leave this place.
