"Haha..." Wan's deep laughter made the office even more desolate. "Many deaths come at unexpected times. Maybe I will die suddenly one day."
Wan's words seemed to have a deeper meaning. Perhaps she had already noticed something, or perhaps she was just saying it casually. If death really came, would she still be so calm?
Today's documents have not been processed yet, but Wan is no longer interested. She is thinking about whether to hand these documents over to other departments. Now she is eager to find something to relax, something that can make her happy, so she asked Kristen:
"How long has it been since you last visited the Human Resources Inspection Department?"
"Ah..." Kristen thought for a moment, "It's been three months. There's no need to go there. Most of the applicants are low-level people who haven't received higher education. Even if they are selected, they will only be third-level employees or even lower... We hire the truly outstanding talents internally."
"Like your best friend? I see you have been trying your best to win her over. Is she so attractive to you? What do you like about her?" Wan took the opportunity to tease Kristen again, which made Kristen's previous majesty and domineering disappear completely. She looked at a loss like a little girl being teased by her mother.
Kristen blushed slightly, and said solemnly but not confidently, "Please don't make such jokes again..."
"Okay~" Wan stood up and walked to Kristen, patted her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "My dear daughter~ Let's go to that place to have fun together~"
The way they were arm in arm with each other, they really looked like a mother and daughter, but would Christen think so?
That’s all for today.
Volume 167: Chapter Chapter The Daughter of the Sea

Wan has had a habit of collecting "precious items" since a long time ago. Strictly speaking, the black snake is the first "precious item" she has collected during her trainer career, so what exactly is this "precious item"?
"Precious things" is actually a word coined based on the word "monster" in the accent of a certain place in Yan Country. Wan had stayed in that place for a long time when she was young. Over time, she liked to use this word to describe those strange things and some weird and abstract people.
When staying with those ugly weirdos, Wan will have an illusion that he is normal and a strange sense of superiority.
This is just like a pretty girl who likes to find an average-looking girl as a foil for herself. This is a kind of self-satisfaction. For Wan, the only purpose of the group of precious creatures under her is to please her and highlight her perfection. Their role is similar to that of a pet.
(The Queen Mother is also a precious thing...)
After collecting the valuables, Wan would "transform" them according to her own preferences, making them more abstract in both appearance and behavior. A scholar from Yan State once summarized the valuables she collected when she was emperor and compiled them into a thick book called "Classic of Mountains and Seas"...
After Wan stepped down, her valuables lost their owners. Some of them became monsters that harmed people, while others, like the black snake, spread to other countries and became gods revered by thousands of people. It is said that some of the valuables flowed to the East and became the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade". Some of the evil spirits that are rampant now were also created by Wan for entertainment purposes.
(What kind of weirdo King Snake?)
And now Wan has to find new "expensive things" to entertain her.
The "Human Resources Inspection Department" is located in the middle and lower part of the Rhine Life headquarters building, covering three floors, with the lower two floors used for various academic and physical tests. Most of the people selected through this method will be admitted as interns, and what awaits them will be cruel internal competition and endless exploitation.
The company may modify their bodies for experimental purposes to stimulate their potential and give them the opportunity to be promoted to second-level employees, but if they fail to grasp the opportunity, they will be made into third-level employees and used to death.
Anyway, the employment contract states clearly that "the final right of interpretation belongs to Rhine Life", so those who are willing to take the bait will do so.
Black! Really damn black! !
Even so, there are still a large number of young people who come to apply for jobs every day. Most of them are poor people from the bottom of the society. Their parents use all their savings to support them to finish college. Joining this promising enterprise after graduation seems to be a good way out for them. Of course, they don't know how many shady dealings are involved behind this huge enterprise named "Columbia Hope" and what is waiting for them.
Normal people will choose to enter the company through formal tests, and the top level of the Human Resources Inspection Department is reserved for those "abnormal" people. People who participate in the interview do not need any diplomas, as long as the talents or programs they perform can make the interviewer laugh or make the senior person feel bright. Such people are purely lively in the company.
The interview place was more like a big theater than a job market. The whole floor was decorated to the scale of the National Theater of Colombia. As soon as you exit the elevator, you can see the ridiculously large stage in front of you. It is half the size of a World Cup football field and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time!
And Wan will be here to enjoy the funny show that is about to be performed with her closest "daughter".
The time displayed on the LCD screen in the elevator was "16:30", and they had already gone to the nearest restaurant to have dinner before that. The Human Resources Inspection Department also prepared a variety of drinks for these "VIPs" who rarely come, as well as popcorn, mousse cakes and other desserts to entertain them while watching the performance.
In order to make the performance more intense, the interviewers also told the interviewees in advance that a "big shot" would come in the evening, suggesting that if they performed well, they might be promoted to a "level three employee". If they could make the big shot laugh, they might be promoted directly to a "level three employee"!
This news made all the people attending the evening interview excited, and they were all rubbing their hands, looking eager to give it a try.
The elevator door opened, Wan stepped out first, stepping on the red carpet at the door, followed closely by Kristen. The elevator door closed behind them, and in front of them was a group of beautiful Sakota children who sprinkled flower petals from the basket at them. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the scene was gorgeous.
"Strange... I didn't ask the Human Resources Inspection Department to make such a big fuss. And where did these Sakta kids come from?" Wan glanced at Kristen who followed to the right. It was obviously not this guy's work. Looking at her, she already had the answer...
It was the blue-haired fallen angel sitting in the distance. He took off his white robe and put on a dark coat with a fur collar.
The fallen angel no longer had the pope's demeanor of the past. She now opened her coat to reveal the white shirt underneath, and sat cross-legged on the judges' bench in front of the stage. She stuffed popcorn into her mouth with one hand and held a Coke in the other, with a calm smile on her lips, looking cynical.
"I didn't expect such a distinguished guest to come today. Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Wan asked the person in charge who was greeting him. The person also looked embarrassed. "The lady said she wanted to give you a surprise. She didn't want her whereabouts to be known in advance."
Of course, this is within the permitted range.
She thought that it was indeed time to meet this old friend. The last time they met was ten years ago when Rhine Life was just established. At that time, Mostima and Nian celebrated the opening for her together.
In addition to Mostima, Wan also found that her other two daughters were also here. The two little ones might have heard about the performance tonight and came to join in the fun. All children are like that.
Wan thought it was time for them to meet Mostima, so she stopped them from fighting. The two little ones rolling on the ground reminded her of her sister and herself in the past, when Nian always relied on his natural strength to press her down and play with her...
Now Wan was like many parents. When faced with a quarrel, she would first speak to the older child. She shouted to her older daughter with pale pink hair:
"Bella! How could you hold your sister down and play with her?"
She took a few steps forward and grabbed her other daughter, lifting her up by the hem of her skirt like a puppy, and dusted her off, then said her name:
"Golatia..."
The child's name is taken from the Iberian word for "dagger", which may be a hint of her origin. She was originally created by Wan to test whether her genes can be integrated with the marine race. At present, it seems that Goletia did not inherit her characteristics, so she can survive freely in the sea water, and her internal organs can regulate pressure like some deep-sea fish.
Still in her infancy, Goletia did not have the extraordinary talent like Bella. Her physical fitness and explosive power were far inferior to those of her other sisters. But Wan saw the shadow of his childhood in her and firmly believed that she must have some extraordinary qualities, a kind of talent that would only be revealed if she grew up a little bit.
It can be a great leadership or a great wisdom...
This is why Wan didn't send her for "selection".
She wanted the child to grow up healthily so that he could serve as her insider in Agor in the future and understand what was behind the underwater civilization.
That’s all for today.
What Gloria said about her family (from the archives):
"My father, whom I barely knew, and my biological mother, who was power-hungry, sensual, and short-sighted—the short-sighted part is debatable, but the first two are clear.
So I didn't rejoin my original family, and it took me a long time to break free from my biological mother's control.
My family is the people who accepted, supported and raised me, not the people who passed on my genes. My new family is not related to me by blood, as is the case with most Agor people.”
It's actually quite fitting. The second captain probably needs to spend her whole life to heal her childhood...
In addition, the archives show that the second captain has 17 years of combat experience. According to the current 1970s, she is 7 or 8 years old, and more than 20 years have passed since the main plot. This means that she started fighting as a deep-sea hunter when she was a teenager. Wanbao was also about the same age when he killed demons, so she may have inherited Wanbao's abnormal combat talent.
Small theater: [Infernal Affairs]
Second Captain: Damn! Three years later, another three years? I'm almost the best deep-sea hunter!
Wanbao: Please be patient... We will soon find out.
Second Captain: I’m almost turning into Hai Si!
Wanbao: That would be convenient for research.
Second Captain: You beast!
..............................
Didi: Don't move! I'm from the Deep Sea Hunter Squad!
Second Captain: I had no choice in the past, but now I just want to be an ordinary salted fish.
Didi: You want to be a salted fish? Okay, go ask Ghost Shark and see if she will let you be a salted fish!

Volume 168: Chapter Chapter Love
Wan held Gloria in her arms and rubbed her little head. She might have done this to show her maternal love in front of others.
The warmth of her little daughter's body and her lively heartbeat were transmitted to Wan's chest, and she felt a strange feeling, as if she had two bodies at the same time. She could feel her life continuing in her daughter's body. Maybe this protective action was just a show at first, but at this moment it was filled with maternal love.
Even though she was as selfish as she was, she still couldn't resist the biological instinct. Protecting her cubs was the nature of all mothers.
Then she asked Bella who was pretending to be indifferent:
"Why did you press your own sister down and play with her? This is so disgraceful. Although I didn't ask you to do this deliberately in the past, this is a public place, you have to pay attention to your image..."
"But isn't that how your aunt tortures you?" Bella opened her clear eyes wide and looked at Wan, not knowing whether it was the innocent words of a child or an intentional mockery.
"Ah?!" Wan was stunned. She didn't expect that the usually honest Bella would refute her with such words, but the surprise only stayed on her face for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure. There were many Rhine Life employees watching the scene, and she couldn't let these guys see her lose her composure.
"What are you talking about?" Wan showed a serious expression, trying to get Bella to change her words, but Bella didn't seem to understand what she meant, and continued to say, "My aunt invited me to visit Thor Industries before and told me a lot about your past. She always said that you have been competitive since you were a child, but you have never won her once."
"She also said that you are a landlubber..."
"That's enough!" Wan shouted at Bella. Her sudden yell scared Goletia in his arms, but the little fish didn't dare to break free from Wan's arms and could only continue to bear it. In order to maintain his dignity, Wan said to Bella, "When am I not as good as her? That was all made up by your aunt to coax children. Many adults like to brag in front of children."
"Like you, mother?" Bella's question made Wan Yi choke again. Her throat seemed to be blocked by a breath, unable to go up or down.
This was the first time in her life that she was mad at her children. In the past, no one had ever contradicted her like this. Perhaps it was because she had never shown her authority in front of Bella and had always spoiled her, so the little one was not afraid of her and lacked respect for her.
Wan was about to explode. She was just about to give Bella a "show of force" to consolidate her prestige in the company when she heard a brisk laugh, "Hahaha~ Well said~" followed by a round of clapping and footsteps suddenly appearing behind her. The voice continued, "This girl is very clever. Her intelligence is much better than mine~"

Wan caught a glimpse of the corner of a dark coat from the corner of her left eye, and a right hand wearing a white glove entered her field of vision. The right hand reached forward and gently stroked Bella's little head, full of love and peace. In the blink of an eye, Mostima had walked in front of Wan, and she used her body to separate Wan and Bella, leaving Wan with nothing but a sigh of relief.
"Little boy, I admire you very much. Would you consider coming to my place in the future?
"While doing things?" Mostima tried to get close to Bella in front of Wan, which was undoubtedly boosting Bella's confidence and gradually replacing Wan's position in Bella's heart. This was a provocation in terms of status.
At least that's what Wan thought.
In this peaceful scene, the two former enemies have begun to compete.
Before Wan could say anything, Mostima asked:
"Are these two little ones your children? You didn't even inform me when they were born, so that I could bring some birthday gifts and bless them in person..."
"Blessing? I think it's a curse? Isn't this what you Laterans are good at?" Wan said unhappily.
"Hehe..." Facing Wan's ridicule, Mostima smiled awkwardly, then half-jokingly said, "I'm not the witch in Sleeping Beauty..."
Mostima stretched out his black-gloved left hand to pinch Gloria's little face, revealing a doting expression. He commented on the appearance of this little fish, "What a delicate little baby, but she doesn't like to smile much. It seems that she will grow into a beautiful woman with temperament in the future..."
"What about me? What about me?" Bella quickly pulled the back of Mostima's coat. This little girl was born strong. Mostima turned her head to look at the confident little girl. The black gloves opened her little mouth to see the blood demon fangs inside. Her face had a complicated expression.
The Sarkaz were once a member of the Shakota, a new race that split from the Shakota. Perhaps in Mostima's eyes, Bella is also her junior. She commented on Bella:
"You have good teeth. Although your face hasn't fully grown yet, you will be a beauty in the future. After all, you both have a beautiful mother."
Mostima indirectly praised Wan at the end of her words, to satisfy her self-esteem a little. She had been with this guy for a while, and found that as long as she stroked along the dragon scales, there would be no problem. In a way, getting along with this guy was like playing with a child. Maybe Wan was just a big child in her eyes.
After Mostima's subtle compliment, Wan felt that she had regained her ground, so she didn't plan to continue to make things difficult for her. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so this time, it was not a bad thing to let Mostima get to know her child better and expand her child's network.
Looking at Mostima and Bella's amused expressions, Wan couldn't help but recall the times when she used to be with Wanbai, Ling and Wanqian. Those scenes from the past kept changing and flashing before her eyes, becoming very blurry and extremely dreamy, just like bubbles.
Until Mostima shouted towards where she had just sat:
"Lele!"
This completely shattered Wan's dream and dragged her back to reality. Wan quickly turned her head to look in the direction where Mostima was shouting.
Who is Lele? Did Mostima bring his juniors with him?
Could it be that she has a successor?
Suddenly the whole floor was quiet, everyone was staring at the back of the chair. The sharp-eyed Wan saw a small ring floating behind the chair, it seemed that someone was hiding behind the chair.
"Lele, why are you hiding? No one is going to harm you," Mostimario complained to Wan helplessly, "I'm sorry, that child is a bit shy."
"Nothing, my little daughter is the same," Wan was still staring at the chair. After about two or three minutes, the halo slowly rose, and a small head with red hair popped out from behind the chair, which made people think of newborn buds.
"Oh!" Bella, who was impatient, finally couldn't bear it any longer. She quickly jumped behind the seat and pulled the hiding angel out effortlessly with her strength far exceeding that of her peers. Only then did the true face of the little angel appear before everyone's eyes.
The red-haired angel was wearing a white dress common in Lateran, and looked about four or five years old. Unlike Mostima's shoulder-length hair, her hair was short and only reached the back of her neck, with a tuft of bangs hanging down in front of her forehead covering her left eye. Her young face did not have Mostima's usual calmness, but was more of a raw and shy person who had not experienced the world, which was in stark contrast to Bella.
It's hard to imagine what this little guy has to do with Mostima.
"Is this your kid?" Wan Bian pushed Mostima's right arm with his elbow, complaining, "You didn't tell me even though he's grown up like this, or are you afraid that I would do something behind your back..."
"No, you misunderstood, Lele... Remule is not my offspring, but my friend's sister," Mostima interrupted Wan. Without further explaining who the "friend" was, she walked straight towards the red-haired angel, hugged her in her arms, patted her back, and comforted her while she was shaking:
"It's okay...it's okay...Lele...I'm here..."
"Friends? What friends? Does that guy have any friends? I haven't heard that there are other guys like her in Lateran. Could it be that she makes friends with ordinary people?" Wan thought about what Mostima said just now. She couldn't understand why Mostima made friends with ordinary people.
After all, those vulgar people are not of the same species as them. A small disturbance may destroy them, and they will disappear in the blink of an eye.
In the dust of the moon, turned into ashes... There is no point in interacting with them...
In the end, all weak things will die like mayflies, and only those strong ones who stand proudly in the world can continue to survive. This is true for Wan, Nian, Xi, Ling, and even more so for Mostima. She should understand this.
Or was Mastema just doing this for fun? Was she not really treating that person as an equal, but just doing it for her own gratification?
