From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"Can't that old woman Russell see the situation clearly? If she hadn't stopped it, this damn Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals would have been kicked out of Casimir long ago. How could it have ended up like this!!!"

The screen in the conference room suddenly lit up, and the man hidden in the shadows on the screen made the entire conference room quiet down.

"Calm down. The situation is now clear, which is actually a good thing for us."

The hysterical director tried to calm down and asked the man on the screen, "Good news? Mr. Kane, I don't understand."

"Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals's goal is undoubtedly to wipe out the Chamber of Commerce, and Russell has seen this. She believes that with her military and political power, she can drive Rhodes Island away at any time. Therefore, the Supervisor will continue to hinder us, blocking our path to using our superior power, and allowing Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals to use despicable tactics such as price wars to defeat us. Then, she only needs to use the army to drive Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals away, and she will be the final victor, and she can restore her so-called "Knight's Glory."

At this juncture, Mr. Kane on the other side of the screen remained calm, as if giving the directors in the conference room a reassurance.

"But we do have Russell to rely on. Although I still don't understand the true intentions of the Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals boss in going to war with us, the crisis he brings is also an opportunity for us to completely break free from the shackles."

"…Mr. Kane, you mean."

The directors' eyes widened, but there was a hint of excitement in their tone.

"Aren't trump cards meant for life and death? Of course, I know that in the eyes of many of you, being expelled from the Grand Knight Territory and even losing control of the Special Tournament aren't considered [life and death], but [loss]. But our Grand Knight Commander is no fool, and neither is the boss of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. Their goal isn't to [defeat] us, but to [destroy] us."

The conference room was silent as everyone waited for Mr. Kane's next words.

"This is a war, but also an opportunity. We should do our best, not for [stop loss], nor for [profit], we will seek [victory]!!!"

There was thunderous applause in the conference hall, and then messages were sent out, orders were executed, and invisible undercurrents began to flow in Casimir.

Chapter 61: Suddenly Feeling the Wideness of the World

As Zofia defeated the Blade Knight and successfully advanced, the Chamber of Commerce, which was forced to the forefront of public opinion created by Si Ye, did not choose to take any countermeasures, but instead chose to remain silent, which was uncharacteristic of it.

The various group companies under the Chamber of Commerce began to shrink their businesses. Faced with the dumping and price war of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, they basically gave up the market after a symbolic struggle.

The Chamber of Commerce's shambolic behavior has led many third-rate tabloids to crown Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals the uncrowned king. However, in the eyes of some people with some connections, this is more like the calm before the storm.

Si Ye didn't care whether the Chamber of Commerce was planning something big or was just giving up. He took this opportunity to completely expand the influence of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals to every corner of the Great Knight's Territory.

As the starting point of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals' Casimir office, the edge of the land is no longer the lifeless and dilapidated appearance it once was.

With generous salaries, sufficient supplies, and free medical care as factory workers, most of the infected people are still energetic after working 12 hours a day, making the entire marginal area full of vitality.

After hearing about the factory's treatment, civilians from some nearby plots and even other urban areas chose to change jobs and apply for the job. At first, the infected people in the marginal plots were afraid that these civilians from other urban areas would take away their current jobs, which caused a lot of conflicts.

Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals accepted all new factories. If they were full, they would buy more. The number of workers increased, but their salaries remained unchanged. This back-and-forth made the marginal land a sought-after paradise for workers throughout the city.

Xinteleya wrapped herself tightly in her wide windbreaker, with the hood just covering her dazzling face. Walking on the edge of the land, the vibrant atmosphere here made her feel better.

What Si Ye said was not empty talk, the situation of the residents here has been truly changed.

The scene before him could not be faked, which made Xinteleya firm in her thoughts and walked quickly towards the factory in the distance.

"Send these materials to Factory No. 114, and then take some people to prepare Shop No. 514."

After giving the task to the worker in front of him, the synth turned his head to look at Cintrea who was walking straight towards him.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'd like to see your boss... Yes, I have intelligence and need to interview him."

After some philosophical thinking about who I am, where I am, and what I should do a few days ago, Xinteleya finally realized it.

She felt that she couldn't continue to waste her time like this, and that she should strive for greater and better goals... Well, these emotions actually only accounted for a small part of her. The more important thing was that the Helmetless Alliance suffered defeats in every conflict with Si Ye, which made Xintela feel that the Helmetless Alliance was not so scary anymore.

Also, I don't know what leverage they have, but the Federation of Commerce is in a precarious situation. Anyone with a discerning eye thinks the ship is going to sink, but the Wuzhou Alliance seems to be ready to live and die with the Federation of Commerce. It's scary.

Xinteleya did not have any extra feelings for the Wuzhou Alliance. As a qualified worker, she thought that she should find a suitable next job for herself before the company completely went bankrupt.

Xinteleya heard that when one faction in Yan Country jumped to another, they needed to make something called a letter of allegiance. Since she was the platinum leader of the Wuzhou Alliance after all, she was able to know the plans secretly prepared by some business associations and the Wuzhou Alliance. She just didn't know whether the letter of allegiance was important enough.

Originally, she wanted to go directly to Si Ye, but Si Ye was still staying at Whip Blade Zofia's manor, which was full of spies from the No Helmet Alliance. Qing Jin might be watching them personally. If Xinteleya went there directly to find Si Ye, she would probably be shot in the back and killed before she even entered the door.

So Xinteleya disguised herself and came to the edge of the land, wanting to see if these strange Rhodes Island employees in the factory could contact Si Ye.

"...Information? Wait a moment, I'll help you contact..."

The synth nodded to Xinteleya, then stood there in a daze, with an abnormal flash of blue light in his eyes.

Cintrea shrank her neck and looked at the synthetic man in front of her who suddenly became unresponsive. She became more and more convinced of her original judgment. These strange Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical employees were definitely either aliens or robots!

A moment later, the synth in front of Xinteleya suddenly began to shake unnaturally, and the blue light in his lifeless eyes became increasingly intense.

It’s not going to explode, is it?

Xinteleya took two steps back calmly, and saw that the synthetic human in front of her began to emit blue light. The light gathered on the side like a ribbon, and Si Ye's figure appeared magically on the side.

However, Xintelaiya had also witnessed Si Ye's divine power when he rubbed a human head with his hands, so she accepted this shocking appearance in a blink of an eye, but...

Cintrea looked at the synth twitching unnaturally beside Si Ye: "...your employee...is she okay?"

"My projection caused her psychic ports to overload, but it will recover in a moment."

Si Ye looked up and down at Xinteleya, who was wrapped in a large windbreaker.

"Why are you dressed like this, Miss Xinteleya? Are you finally planning to switch jobs and come to my side?"

"Um,"

Xinteleya said "hmm" crisply, which stunned Si Ye.

Si Ye, who had reacted quickly, said, "Oh? Welcome, welcome. Salary is negotiable."

"The salary is higher than what I get at Wuzhoumeng, and I get two days off a week. I don't want to work overtime, and if I do, I have to get overtime pay."

Xinteleya spoke about the treatment she wanted like jumping beans.

"All of these are fine, satisfied."

Si Ye waved his hand, signaling Xinteleya to continue.

"I won't go out on the field in bad weather. I want my year-end bonus, so I won't work the night shift."

“It’s just a small thing.”

These were still within the acceptable range, Si Ye waved his hand nonchalantly.

It seemed that the generous attitude infected Xinteleya, making her tone even more cheerful.

"I, I also want annual leave, and it would be best if I could take leave at any time without having my salary deducted."

"Sign this and I'll satisfy you."

A contract appeared out of thin air. After confirming that all the conditions she had just mentioned were on it, Xinteleya quickly signed her name, fearing that Si Ye would go back on his word if she was a little slower.

Holding the signed contract in her hand, Xinteleya's joy was evident: "Sign it now, and don't regret it."

"Well, I won't regret it. From now on, Miss Xinteleya, you will be my personal secretary."

Personal, secretary?

In Terra, a secretary with the word "close personal" in his name is no different from a lover.

Xinteleya's expression froze, and she realized that the contract in her hand, which was only the size of an A4 paper, seemed to be able to be pulled open. When it was pulled open, a large number of densely packed clauses and regulations made her dizzy.

"This...I...you..."

Xinteleya pointed at the contract in her hand, her eyes widened, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"After all, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals believes in giving back what you give. Since you have so many requests, Cintria, I naturally need to pay more."

What she said made a lot of sense. Xinteleya felt speechless, but that didn't mean she could accept the fact that a contract sold her completely. Her pretty face gradually distorted.

Seeing that Xinteleya's expression was about to collapse, Si Ye smiled evilly and removed the psychic trick on the contract.

"I'm just teasing you. Miss Xinteleya is so cute that I can't help but want to bully her."

The feeling of bungee jumping back and forth between heaven and hell was so thrilling that Xinteleya's expression became dull for a moment.

What do you mean by wanting to bully someone because they are too cute!

After hearing Si Ye's words and realizing that she had been fooled, Xinteleya frowned and her cheeks puffed up like an angry pufferfish.

Being teased by her future boss, what could Xinteleya do? She could only make a face at Si Ye in a childish manner, looking angry.

Taking advantage of the moment when Xinteleya was making a face, Si Ye suddenly came over.

"But Miss Xinteleya is so cute that I'm a little moved. When I have some free time, I will bring flowers and gifts to invite Miss Xinteleya to a candlelight dinner. Please be sure to do me the honor then."

Si Ye's words just hit the sweet spot of the little Pegasus Xinteleya. She was already a little in love and subconsciously imagined the scene described by Si Ye, and her face turned slightly red.

"Say it later..."

Xinteleya turned her head awkwardly, put away the contract in her hand, and took out a copy from the small bag on her waist.

"This is my pledge of allegiance to you! Destroy it after reading it. But as promised, I have to wait until the Wuzhou Alliance is completely destroyed before I come to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid my family..."

In Xintelaiya's eyes, the current No Hero Alliance and the Chamber of Commerce are a little crazy, and their various unscrupulous means are chilling.

"Actually, I can protect you no matter what, but you can do whatever makes you feel at ease."

Si Ye opened the copy that Xinteleya brought.

Inside was an order from the Chamber of Commerce to the Helmetless Alliance, requiring the Alliance to cooperate with the Casimir Security Police to raid the marginal areas on the day of the Special Championship's top 16 matches, to stir up conflicts between the infected and ordinary people and cause riots. The purpose was to use public pressure to force the Supervisor to make concessions, promote the bill to expel Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, and expel Si Ye.

The document contained various arrangements that looked very rigorous. The Supervisory Committee's purpose in helping Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals was to use Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals to suppress the Chamber of Commerce. If a major disturbance really occurred, it was hard to say whether the two sides would suddenly join forces to catch Si Ye off guard.

"How is it? Is it useful?"

"Very useful. Thank you Miss Xinteleya for your help."

Si Ye closed the document. Because it was a projection, his expression was a little unclear.

"That's fine. I need to run away quickly. If they can't contact me during a mission, they'll start to suspect me."

After receiving a positive response and finding a new employer with good remuneration, Xinteleya was in a very happy mood, and her beautiful and smooth ponytail swayed happily.

After saying goodbye to Si Ye, Xinteleya found a corner, took off her disguise, and quickly returned to the main city.

Chapter 62 The Magical Casimir

After returning from the marginal land, Xinteleya touched the contract she kept close to her body and hummed a tune happily.

"You look so happy, did you win the lottery?"
