I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

This is essentially giving thugs shoes while simultaneously providing them with a reason to live.

But once the thugs put on shoes, they were less likely to make a move.

Orn's principle has always been to talk things out first and see if we can win people over with goodwill. If we can't reach an agreement and things fall apart, then we'll try to win people over with goodwill.

However, what the man said gave Ornn a perfect opportunity to unleash his fury. After letting out a roar, Ornn grabbed the skinny man's hands and said with a friendly smile, "Haha, of course I know your company's name, Quanluo Security Company! Who doesn't know that!"

"Your company's main function is to maintain street order in the Hokkaido area, while also taking on the side job of debt collection to earn extra income,"

"From what I understand, your company also has four branches. Although they are ostensibly security companies, their functions are actually completely unrelated to security,"

"Three of them seem to be doing business along the coast, and the other seems to specialize in transportation in the mountains, right?"

The skinny man's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Orn. ​​He instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but Orn held his wrist tightly, preventing him from breaking free.

Orn continued, "I don't have any other special skills, except that I have over thirty good friends in Central Teresen. I was planning to have them call me at four o'clock this afternoon, but now this has happened. Oh dear! This is not a good situation!"

"This time I'm also bringing back some watermelons for those young ladies. We buy from this uncle every year; these are all expenses that can be verified at Central Treson. If you don't believe me, you can call the chairman of Central Treson; it's no problem to call now."

"Brother, I think there might be some misunderstanding here. Why don't you go back and double-check?"

The skinny man frowned; the Central Trainer badge worn on the other man's chest was now stinging his eyes.

Seeing that Orn was completely ignoring him, the burly man's face turned bright red, and he was about to lash out.

He was just about to make a move when he saw his older brother shake his head.

The skinny man in the lead said, "Alright, young man, there might be some misunderstanding here. Let's go back and verify it now, and we'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"By the way, sir, what's your name...?"

Orn smiled and said, "You can just call me Hetian. Don't worry, we'll contact you again later."

The tall, thin man gave Orn a deep look, then stood up and walked out of the second-floor door first.

The burly man scratched his head, puzzled. He immediately followed his older brother out the door. Seeing that the leader had already left, the rest of the group did not linger and turned to walk downstairs.

Chapter 172 Situation and Momentum

The burly man closed the van door, then looked at his silent older brother beside him with a puzzled expression.

He asked, "Big brother? He's all alone, why don't we...?"

"I can't move."

The skinny guy who was in charge sat in the passenger seat. He shook his head slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Drive. Let the big shots handle this situation. It's not something we small fry can deal with."

The burly man sat in the driver's seat and said with a smile, "Brother, if you're considered a small fry, then what about us? We're not even worth a speck of dust!"

"Back in Hongkou, you were still..."

The skinny man glared at him coldly, and the burly man immediately fell silent.

He stepped on the gas, and the three vans drove off into the distance.

The skinny man glanced at the rearview mirror beside him, watching the grocery stall gradually disappear into the distance, and began to speculate in his mind.

The young man's words actually contained several layers of meaning, but it was clear that the burly man driving beside him hadn't understood any of them.

First, there's his identity: a Central Treson trainer. The fact that he dares to wear the badge so openly means he's definitely the real deal.

This kind of person, who appears on television almost every month, is inherently difficult to deal with. The position of Central Training Officer not only offers high exposure but also extensive connections.

If it were a local trainer, that would be easier to explain, but the social status of a centrally-administered trainer is something a security company like theirs can't easily exploit.

Secondly, there's his statement that "the young ladies from the central government come here every year to buy fruit," which carries a deeper implication.

Although he wasn't a trainer, he knew that the so-called "young ladies" didn't refer to any individuals, but rather to genuine socialites.

No one wanted to interfere with these adults' unauthorized purchases from farmers, nor did anyone dare to. As long as you didn't sell the goods in the market, everyone turned a blind eye, essentially adopting a tacitly acquiescing attitude.

Should Quanluo Security Company be sent to collide with these real behemoths? They might as well just dissolve on the spot; at least they could get some severance pay and avoid going to jail.

Finally, and this is what troubled him the most,

Why could the other party so calmly describe the operations of Quanluo Company's subsidiaries? Many new employees are unaware of this information; how could a centrally-administered trainer know such details?

Either this young man is a spy sent by a hostile organization, or he knows mid- to high-level executives at Quanluo Company.

Regardless of the outcome, it's not something a nobody like him can handle. Let the big shots deal with these troublesome matters; it has nothing to do with someone like him who gets paid on time every month.

Seven years ago, when he was still the assistant to the young leader of the Hongkou Gang and had a group of about a hundred men under his command, he might have been willing to fight this young man for the sake of the gang's interests.

But right now he's just a squad leader in a security company, and some of his men are even older than him. With this kind of situation, is he really going to fight against someone with such a powerful background? Forget it.

"Sigh... Second brother, once we get our wages this month, let's go to the Northeast to do business."

The skinny man in the lead sighed with some worry, and continued, "Things are different now than they used to be. The market has changed. We need to do some reliable business to survive."

"So? Do you have any thoughts?"

The burly man driving the car was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. Anyway, there's no point in me staying in this crappy company. I'll go wherever you go."

The general store is on the second floor.

Yoshinoda looked at the young man beside him, stood up and thanked him, saying, "Young man, thank you so much for your help this time! But you didn't need to put yourself in danger for someone you don't even know!"

“I am Yoshinoda Suke, the owner of this farmland and this general store,”

"Ah, I don't think I know your name. May I ask who you are...?"

Orn smiled and shook his hand, saying, "Hehe, it was nothing. A friend of mine happens to be investigating this security company, and after today, he shouldn't be doing this kind of thing again."

"I am Orn, a new trainer who joined the Central Training Center this year. I was recommended here by the students at the school. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Yoshinoda released his grip. He had thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who had brought this young man here.

He hesitated and said, "Mr. Orn, may I know which student it is? To be honest, the fruit I secretly grow is only given to the surrounding ranches and the rest to my neighbors."

"To ask what connection they have with Central Tresson... I really can't think of anything!"

Orn stroked his chin and replied, "Actually, I'm not quite sure who it is, but my confidant might know. I'll call her up here!"

Standing at the second-floor window, he took something that looked like a key out of his pocket and pressed the button labeled "Unlock."

A series of beeping sounds came from the black vehicle across the street, and then the vehicle's door automatically popped open, revealing a section of light blue tail that seemed somewhat agitated and was flapping from side to side.

Orn shouted towards the car, "March!! Get in!! No need to look anymore!!"

Fujimasa jumped out of the car, somewhat bewildered. She had searched every possible place where she might have kept the water bottle after getting in, but that damned plastic bottle was nowhere to be found.

Busy searching for Aquarius, she naturally didn't notice the three vans leaving. She quickly went up to the second floor and asked, "Owen, are you sure Aquarius is still in the van?"

"I've been looking for ages, and I can't even find a bottle cap, let alone a water bottle!"

Orn shrugged and said, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I'll get back in the car and check later."

"Come on, let's get acquainted. This is Yoshinoda, and this is my supervisor, Fujimasa March."

"March, he must be the melon stall owner that a senior member recommended on the forum, right?"

Fujimasa took out her phone, looked at the forum, and then asked, "Mr. Yoshino, do you sell a very sweet and dark seedless watermelon in July and August?"

Yoshinoda nodded in surprise, then asked curiously, "Yes, but... but how did this news get to Central Teresa, such a faraway place? I didn't ask anyone to spread the word."

Fujimasa handed her phone to the middle-aged man in front of her and said, "It was this senior who said that because the things you grow are really delicious, she wanted to help you promote them around the school."

"Look, here's her review after eating the watermelon."

Seeing that familiar way of speaking, Yoshinoda already had a guess in his mind.

She's a student at the Central University and also the child who ate her watermelon. It seems she's the star of the ranch!

"Ah... I think I know who it is,"

Yoshinoda thought for a moment, then invited, "Mr. Orn, I have plenty of watermelons. Why don't you come with me now and pick them? Take as many as you can."

Seeing that Orn was about to refuse, the uncle quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist, advising, "Hey! Don't refuse! This is the only way I can repay you! Although I'm not rich, I still have to maintain my integrity and principles! Please don't refuse!"

Orn could only nod and say, "Okay, then... March, let's go, and pick up some local specialties for Xiaoli and the others while we're at it."

"good....."

March glanced at Orn, then nodded. The three of them got into the tricycle and headed towards the melon field.

Chapter 173 Kindergarten Principal Ms. Tama

In 2024, the ranch where I once lived was ranked as one of the poorest ranches in all of Japan.

The main reason is...

The horse girls have an astonishing appetite.

The track was almost like a pebble beach.

And all sorts of strange children's fights,

These factors ultimately led to this rating.

However, although this place is very poor, it only appears to be poor.

The children on the ranch can even eat a variety of fruits that would cost a lot of money elsewhere, and they also get various snacks and extra meals from time to time. Even their training equipment is updated occasionally.

If it weren't for the rough, sandy ground beneath her feet, even she might have thought this ranch was on par with Central Treson.

But...it remains very poor here, and has become extremely desolate.

She squinted, gazing at the distant sky dyed crimson.

"Well, it's just like dusk!"

Before she could even recite a few lines of poetry like "Early in my youth I knew the hardships of the world, yet I still dared to soar like a wild goose among the clouds," several somewhat childish voices rang out beside her.

"Tama-nee! What are you talking about? It's dusk right now!"

"Sister is probably trying to brag about her life in the central government again, isn't she? We've heard all that stuff before!"

"What kind of horse girl can get her eyes hit by a brick and still be completely unharmed? What kind of horse girl can gain weight just by drinking water? And recently there's even a horse girl who can eat a mountain! How is that possible?!"

"It's all just my sister's wishful thinking! Wishful thinking!"

Several veins bulged on Tamamo's temples as she looked at the little girls surrounding her.

She clenched her fist and exclaimed, "You little rascals! I'll teach you a lesson!"

The little pony girls scattered from her side in an instant, running away while laughing, "Haha! They're getting desperate! They're getting desperate!"

"Run, everyone! My sister's going to hit us again!"

"You brat...!!"

The little, fluffy horse girl stood up from the ground, let out a loud howl, and then pounced on the pasture children.

Looking at the lively scene on the playground, Komiyama Komi couldn't help but smile and say to the old man beside her, "Mr. Minamida, it seems that the children on your ranch are quite lively."

"Lively? Yes, a little too lively, it's making it a bit too much for us old bones to handle!"

Nantian Longsan sighed with a wry smile and said, "There used to be some young people here, and back then everyone had the energy to deal with their antics, but now... well, there's nothing we can do about it!"

"However, the children are very sensible. They know that we are old and in poor health, so they will not cause trouble. They even put forward their own king, just to restrain themselves."

"Let them make a fuss, it's good for them to make a fuss."

He raised his chin and pointed to the little pony girl who was gripping the tree trunk with both hands and had her legs crossed by Tamamo.

"Look, that's the leader of the kids they chose."

Komiyama Komi looked in the direction Nanten Ryuzo was pointing; there stood a girl with slightly reddish hair and pigtails.

Normally, the girl would be quite pretty and quiet; she's definitely a beauty in the making.

But now the little pony was gripping the tree stump tightly with both hands, and her black and red ponytail was standing straight up, whether from fright or some other reason.

Behind her was the spiky horse girl with fierce eyes. Tamamo Cross chuckled strangely and suddenly swung her big hand, slapping it against the little horse girl's drum!

"Crack! Crack!"

"Xiao Mei! You're a real handful! You even dared to provoke me?!"

"Do you still dare to make fun of your senior!? Hmm?"

The horse girl, nicknamed "Little Beauty," cooperated perfectly, screaming loudly. Although she looked like she'd been beaten badly, judging from her exaggerated performance, Tamamo Cross hadn't actually used any force at all.

The other children who had just run away gathered around the tree again. They looked at the ringleader being disciplined and excitedly waved their branches, shouting, "Senior! Hit her! Hit her hard! She stole my candy last time! Get revenge for me!"

"Haha! To see such a sight with my own eyes! It's worth the ticket price even if I skip dinner!"

"As expected of the senior who once dominated the Wild Brocade Ranch and then stormed into the Central District and caused chaos! He easily accomplished what we could not!"
