"Really? It seems I'm overthinking it, ma'am.

Sorry to take up your time, I have to go meet my fire alone."

Lu Jiaren did not answer Qiuya's question. He nodded politely, then stood up and left.

Scorpio gave up his seat without saying a word and helped him open the door.

"wait……"

For some reason, Qiuya was suddenly touched.

She stood up, called Lu Jiaren, and gave Scorpio a wink.

The latter understood and closed the door again.

"Do you think we can win this battle?" Qiuya looked into his eyes seriously.

"No."

Lu Jiaren thought for a moment and replied, "The best we can do is to start a carnival and become a legend for future generations."

"What about them?" Qiuya asked again.

Li Tianxiu and Chen Xi are different from others, at least they are far beyond Lu Jiaren's reach, and even she may not be able to compare with them.

Such a person would never do anything that he is not sure of, right?

"They say... a single spark can start a prairie fire." Lu Jiaren said.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire..."

Qiuya savored these words carefully and remained silent for a long time.

Lu Jiaren just stood there straight, quietly waiting for her reply.

"They are just using you as a pawn." Qiuya lowered her head.

"I don't have the ability, and I can only choose between being their pawn or being the company's pawn. And the damn thing is, I feel great now." Lu Jiaren smiled.

Compared to being killed by greedy mercenaries in front of tens of thousands of people live.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to die in a head-on confrontation with the company?

"This doesn't seem to be of any benefit to me. What can I gain?" Qiu Ya said with a smile.

"A good reputation, and..."

Lu Jiaren thought for a moment and added, "A husband who respects you?"

"you……"

Qiu Ya's eyes twitched, and she felt angry and amused: "In your eyes, am I no different from your guests?"

"From the perspective of interests, the marriage between the two sides can demonstrate determination and make it easier to win over those who are wavering.

In addition, our contract does not require us to become a real couple. If you are against me, I will respect your opinion.

People who know you should know that you only act out of profit, and I am just a puppet." Lu Jiaren looked at her meaningfully.

Qiuya just pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.

"I'll wait for you outside first. Once you get the answer, we will discuss the next steps with you." Lu Jiaren said.

Fame and recognition are Qiuya's most important weaknesses.

Although the contact time was short, he was able to confirm this.

Because she cares so much about her reputation, she mind the rumors in the market, which constantly question whether she should rely on others and keep herself.

As for a husband, perhaps it is not necessary, but she definitely needs a like-minded partner.

or……

Comrades in arms.

Click.

The door was locked.

"Qiu Ya..."

"You go out too."

Scorpio wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qiuya.

He shrugged helplessly, turned around and closed the door.

"Ugh……"

Qiuya sighed and leaned her elbows on the table, running her fingers through her hair.

There is a term that everyone in the civilian area yearns for, called legend.

And her husband Ji Tiancheng was once a legend.

He looted the research center of Ark Technology and cracked the technology therein, raising the overall technological level of the civilian area by twenty years.

Because of this, he and his brothers were retaliated by the Ark Corporation. After killing an entire special operations squadron, he eventually died together with a super soldier named Trident.

But if you ask Ji Tiancheng whether he thought about the consequences before attacking Fang Zhou, the answer is naturally yes.

The same is true for Qiuya.

She knew the outcome of marrying Ji Tiancheng, but she did it without hesitation.

Because deep down, she is not a person who would keep to herself.

But now...

"Humph!"

Qiuya slammed the table hard, but her face soon turned pale with pain.

"Hey...it hurts..."

She shook her red fists, jumped on the spot several times, and finally sat down in frustration.

Yes,

She has been quiet for so long that her fists have become weak.

"Even if I don't agree, those two guys will find a way to drag us down."

After calming down for a long time, Qiuya put away her frustration and returned to her normal self.

Just as she was about to open the door and go out, a person suddenly walked out from behind the wall with her back to her!

"You are...ah!"

Before Qiuya could react, her head was covered and she was punched in the stomach.

She struggled desperately, and the noise alarmed the Scorpio outside.

Scorpio pushed the door open and shot at the attacker.

However, a drone was already waiting nearby and was shooting at him.

There was a sound of "clang clang clang" and sparks appeared. Scorpio's blue metal arm had several bullet marks, but it could not withstand his charge.

He broke through the barrage of bullets like a god of war and punched the attacker in the abdomen!

"Three inches above the right side of the navel on the left abdomen, the force is 276KG."

At the moment the attacker was hit, Q at the other end of the drone had already reported the location.

"Alas... I shouldn't be doing this..."

In a private residence in the Anxiang District, a man was tied in front of Chen Xi, muttering to himself: "Ya Xi, I was wrong. I didn't know you would shout out at that time..."

No one answered.

"Ugh……"

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly and tightened the gloves on his hands.

Ever since that night when she declared that she would never dress like a woman, Chen Yaxi had fallen into a state of autism and couldn't make any sound.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

A man of similar build to Li Tianxiu was tied to a pillar, looking at Chen Xi beggingly.

Then he was punched in the stomach.

The man's name is Chameleon, a gold medal mercenary in the Seven Stars District, ranked 18th on the blacklist, and is about to become a sacrifice to bring together the forces in the civilian area.

In Qiuya's office, Scorpio is trying to press on and take back his boss.

But just as he was about to move his feet, his electronic prosthetic eye suddenly went dark, his modified tendons short-circuited, and he staggered and fell.

"How is this possible?!" Scorpio was shocked.

Although he is no longer as strong as he used to be, he is still the toughest guy in the civilian area. How could he be defeated in one second?

"Scorpio!"

Scorpio's attack gave Qiuya a moment's respite, but her call for help seemed so futile at this moment.

The attacker was dragging her body back toward the window behind her.

"Qiu Ya!"

Lu Jiaren, who came in later, was shocked by the scene before him.

But after a few days of training, he already had the desire to attack.

"The protagonist has appeared." Q raised the corner of his mouth.

"This guy's aim is not very good, you'd better not let him hit Qiuya..." Chen Xi reminded.

"..."

Of course Li Tianxiu had no way to answer, so he deliberately exposed a flaw.

Two gunshots were heard, blood spurted out of his shoulder, and he ripped off Qiuya's hood.

Qiuya saw Lu Jiaren holding a gun, and sparks were flying from his back.

At that moment,

She burned herself!

Chapter 205 Lingxian, you bastard

"what!"

That last punch made Qiuya scream in pain.

It was at that moment that the firewall in Scorpio's body came into play, allowing him to regain control of his body.

Li Tianxiu had achieved his goal, so he turned around and left, jumping out of the open window.

"Qiuya?"

"Qiu Ya!"

There was suddenly a crowd outside the door, and Xu Dongxiao and other gang members arrived late.

"He's injured, chase him!"

Qiuya stood up with the help of the table. Her hair was disheveled and she looked extremely embarrassed.

"Yes! Follow me!"

Xu Dongxiao took most of the people to chase after them.

Scorpio walked to the window and took a look, then turned back and reported: "Maybe you should really change your office, at least find one without a window."

"You, you were out for less than ten seconds and they started to attack. This is not a question of whether there is a window or not."

Qiuya sat back in her seat, touched her knee with her right hand, and felt it trembling.

This was not the first time she had been assassinated, but it was the one that made her heart beat the fastest.

The attacker came silently, easily subdued Scorpio, and then beat her.
