"I am from Sphinx, and I am the vice president of the Federal Arts Association, Gate Stanley. You can just call me Gate, Director Sulina."

Old Gates first gave a very gentlemanly self-introduction before continuing to explain:

"As for why I appeared in this way... it's because we both have a powerful adversary. She's very shrewd, and I don't want her to discover my contact with you, as that would be extremely dangerous for both of us."

"A common and powerful enemy? Could it be the White River Gang and Badis? No..."

Su Lina quickly understood, and a hint of surprise appeared in her voice:

"A mere local gang is unlikely to alarm you from Sphinx... The powerful adversary you mentioned, could it be Emerald Melson? Has your Federal Arts Association become so powerful that you dare to oppose the Melson family?"

“Miss Commander, you flatter us too much… Who in the Federation would dare to go against the Melson and Lohid families? Our association certainly wouldn’t dare either.”

Old Gates shrugged:

“But the eldest daughter of the Melson family is a different matter from the entire Melson family. Moreover, the association has no intention of fighting to the death with that young lady. We just want to teach her a lesson and make her understand that she must cooperate with us for her business plans to continue.”

"...Hmm, that makes sense. If you say the association isn't afraid of Melson and still wants to go against him, I might just kill you right now and take your body to the Melson family to collect the bounty."

Sulina ignored old Gate's slightly twitching lips and sat down on her own sofa:

"Tell me, what are your association's specific plans? How will you support me?"

"The association's plan is simple: to thwart that young lady's business development and prevent her films from ever leaving Locke City, unless she cooperates with our association."

Old Gates spoke with great confidence:

"But it's impossible for the association to directly confront her subordinates, so we can only support people like you, the leader, who have also been driven to the brink by her... Our cooperation is simple: we will provide various powerful support, including magical devices and magical materials, to help the leader and your boyfriend's gang defeat the White River Gang, drive them out of Champs-Élysées Town, and destroy the movie theater that will be completed soon."

"...Excuse me for speaking frankly, Mr. Gates."

Su Lina hesitated for a moment before asking directly:

"I want to know where your association gets its confidence that it can support us in defeating the Baihe Gang? You should know that the Baihe Gang uses all military weapons, and many of its members are retired soldiers, right?"

Chapter 128 Who is she?

"In terms of combat strength alone, the support we can provide is indeed incomparable to that of the eldest daughter of the Melson family. Apart from Melson herself, no one in the entire Federation can compare."

Old Gates shrugged, his confidence undiminished:

"But the support we can provide is by no means weak, and the struggle between us and the Shirakawa Gang will be a complex, multi-dimensional struggle, not just a simple contest of combat strength... Many times, a successful strategy is more effective than dozens of fully armed mages."

"...Prove it to me."

After pondering in silence for a moment, Su Lina directly stated her request:

"To be honest, I'm very tempted by your suggestion. My dance troupe has indeed been greatly influenced by the movie, and I personally really want to make that scumbag Mao suffer a crushing defeat... But that doesn't mean I'll recklessly throw my life away. I won't do anything without a certain degree of certainty."

"I think I understand what you mean. You and the association behind you, as well as others, have all had their interests harmed by that scumbag Mao, but you don't dare to stand up and openly oppose her, so you need to support someone like me to be your cannon fodder, right?"

"Even if I'm to be cannon fodder, at least let me see a glimmer of hope, right? My current situation is indeed difficult, but I'm not at my wit's end. At least I can still choose to give up everything and run away with Jack. I've saved up some money running the dance troupe over the past two years, and Jack's income from leading the gang is also quite good. We can still live a normal life in another city."

"Um……"

Old Gates frowned.

He was a little surprised that Su Lina was not just a pretty face with no brains; she saw through his plan at a glance and made such a direct request.

Many of the lines I had prepared beforehand are no longer needed.

...Don't young girls these days know how to subtly probe during negotiations? That Emily was like that, and now Sulina is too.

"Ok."

With a soft sigh, old Gate finally agreed to Sulina's request.

Actually, he was more anxious than Su Lina.

Because what Sulina said earlier was quite true: even if Sulina's dance troupe really couldn't continue, she could choose to go to another city with her boyfriend. But Old Gate and the others watched helplessly as the movie theater in Champs-Élysées was almost completed, and they couldn't find anyone willing to stand up against Emerald.

Now that Su Lina is willing to step forward, it's necessary to try to win her over and show some sincerity first.

“Commander Su Lina, you’re absolutely right. I do represent a group of people whose interests have been harmed by Miss Melson, but who dare not confront her directly.”

As Old Gates spoke, he pulled a notebook from his pocket and handed it to Sulina:

"The people whose contact information is recorded in this notebook can basically help you in your battle... Whether it's funds or equipment, we will try our best to meet your needs."

"Let me take a look..."

Su Lina took the notebook and looked at it carefully for a moment, a hint of pleasure appearing on her face:

"Hahahaha... Emerald, Emerald, you scumbag pink hair, you've done so many bad things and you're finally getting your comeuppance! There are so many people who don't want you to succeed in your business... Hmph, then I can't let this opportunity slip by."

Snapped!

Su Lina closed her notebook, pondered for a moment, and then stated her position directly:

“I can cooperate with you, but you are only responsible for providing support. The specifics of how to do it must be done as I say… Hmm, let me first confirm the purpose of our cooperation: to get Emerald’s film and her White River Gang out of Champs-Élysées. Is that alright?”

"no problem."

Old Gates readily nodded:

"As long as you can do this, we will take care of the rest and do our best to provide you with support."

"it is good."

Su Lina took a breath, lifted her right leg, which was encased in flesh-colored pantyhose, swung it slightly in the air, and then placed it on her left leg:

"Then I need you to do two things for me first."

"You said."

As he spoke, Old Gates took out a pen, then took his notebook back and opened it, ready to write down Sulina's request.

"First."

Su Lina first raised a finger as white as jade:

"I need you to contact Mr. Haigs... You know Mr. Haigs, right?"

"of course I know."

Old Guy's head:

"He's a seafood tycoon in Caledonia, owning more than 30 fishing boats, and he's also the financial backer of your boyfriend Jack and the seafood gang... I heard that Jack was groomed by him back then?"

"Yes."

Su Lina sighed:

“Mr. Haggs has been kind to Jack, and Jack loves me very much. When he finds out that I am going to fight that scumbag pink-haired guy, he will definitely not sit idly by and will fight alongside me... But that would be tantamount to betraying Mr. Haggs. Even if he doesn’t say it, he will definitely feel guilty and pained about it. That’s not good. You have to find a way to help me solve this.”

"This is actually quite simple..."

Old Gates thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement:

"Hagos is training Jack so that Jack can protect his interests in the Champs-Élysées seafood market. As long as we can help him keep that, it doesn't really matter whether Jack is the one working for him or not... I will personally talk to Hagos and offer him some benefits in exchange for your boyfriend's freedom."

"Okay, with Jack helping me wholeheartedly, I'll be even more motivated."

Sulina nodded, then took out a cigarette from her collar, lit it with the magical flame at her fingertips, and took a deep drag.

"The second condition is that I need you to help me hire a group of people... My gang's thugs and Jack's alone are not enough to fight against the White River Gang, and we don't have any channels, so you have to help us hire people."

"Hire some people..."

This time, Old Gates didn't agree directly, but instead asked:

"What kind of manpower do you specifically want? I have to remind you, Miss Melson is still somewhat in line with the rules of the game. If you use mercenaries first in the gang war, then you'll be facing not only the White River Gang, but also Melson Security's M-level squad."

“I know that, so what I need to hire is not an ordinary mercenary.”

Su Lina nodded and took another drag of her cigarette.

“An organization as large as your association must have an intelligence department, right? Even if you haven’t established one yourself, you must have similar organizations with which you have long-term cooperation… I need you to find me a few female intelligence agents who have received special training… the kind who are beautiful, have great figures, and are good at using their bodies to steal intelligence and carry out poisoning and assassinations.”

"...What are you trying to do?"

Old Gates frowned even more deeply:

"You don't mean to send them to assassinate Miss Melson, do you? If you really have such a foolish idea, then I'll have to terminate our cooperation immediately."

"Heh... I'm not that stupid, and you're underestimating that scumbag pink-haired girl. Do you think just any pretty woman has a chance to get close to her?"

Su Lina snorted:

"She has very discerning tastes; she doesn't even look at ordinary women... The women who can get into her bed must at least be untouched by men and come from wealthy and well-educated families... Can those female intelligence agents who often use their bodies to complete missions do that?"

"...Yes, that's true. The women around her are all outstanding."

Old Gate immediately thought of Marcy and Viliana, whom he had met before. Their aura was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary elven slaves. They were probably elves with noble blood, the kind that could often sell for hundreds of millions of rons on the black market.

"so what?"

Old Gates breathed a sigh of relief, but still continued to ask:

"What do you want to do by hiring these people?"

"...I have two plans."

Su Lina thought about it and decided not to hide it:

"First, I need to temporarily replace my song and dance troupe members with them... The girls in my troupe are just ordinary singers and dancers. The upcoming struggle is too dangerous for them, so I must get rid of them all first... But the song and dance troupe cannot stop operating, so I need a group of people who are at least good-looking and have good figures to temporarily replace them."

"Hmm...that makes sense...Commander Sulina, you really are a man of great loyalty."

Old Guy nodded, acknowledging this, and then asked:

"What's the other plan?"

"Of course, it's meant to be used against the Baihe Gang."

Su Lina's lips curled into a smile, making no attempt to hide the disdain in her words:

"Just because she, Emery, looks down on ordinary women doesn't mean her subordinates will be the same. Most men are creatures whose small heads control their big heads; as long as a woman has a pretty face and a good figure, she can easily win them over."

"As long as those intelligence agents stay in my dance troupe for a while and become familiar with the town, even if their subsequent actions are exposed, that pink-haired girl will only think that I sent members of my own dance troupe to seduce her subordinates, and will not think that they are mercenaries... In this way, she should continue to abide by the rules of the game."

“This is indeed a good idea!”

Old Gates' eyes lit up as he listened:

"Even the hardest steel can't withstand the gentlest touch. It's perfectly normal for your dance troupe to have a few more beautiful women. It's also normal for beautiful women to use their bodies as weapons against men... Alright, let's do it this way!"

"So...your association really does have an intelligence agency and those kinds of female intelligence agents?"

Su Lina raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, our association doesn't have any, but I know where I can hire them."

Old Gates chuckled softly:

"As you know, Miss Commander, sometimes you have to be a little ruthless in business... The kind of female intelligence agent you mentioned is quite sought after, and many organizations specifically train her."

“I happen to know a team that consists entirely of hot and beautiful young women. Each of them is very good at dealing with men and is a seasoned veteran… More importantly, they are all willing to do anything for money. As long as it doesn’t involve them directly confronting the eldest daughter of the Melson family, they should be willing to take the job, since we will offer a considerable commission.”

"That's good."

Sulina stubbed out her nearly finished cigarette and, in a very ladylike manner, extended a hand to old Gates:

"So... are you happy to work together?"

"Pleasant to work with."

Old Gates put down his cane, extended his white-gloved hand, and shook hands with Sulina.

. . . . .

The deputy mayor of Champs-Élysées was quite pleased with himself these past few days.

He felt he had Su Lina completely under his control, and waited at home for the beauty to come to him for help. He even fantasized about many positions and ways to play with her, and had even bought the magic potion to enhance the experience.

But after waiting for several days, the deputy mayor still hadn't received a visit from Su Lina.

Not only did no beautiful women come to his door, but one day when he was going home from get off work, the deputy mayor was dragged into an alley and severely beaten. Both of his legs were broken, and his middle leg was also hit hard with a stick.

If it weren't for the advanced magical medical technology in this world, the deputy mayor's life would have been ruined.

He was furious... but there was nothing he could do about it.

He knew that the person who beat him up was definitely related to Su Lina, but what could he do?

He was just a deputy mayor, while Su Lina's boyfriend was a gang leader. The two were not equal in terms of strength at all... Otherwise, he would have found a way to take Su Lina down long ago, instead of taking advantage of her vulnerability now.

Unexpectedly, it still failed, and I even got beaten up. The treatment also cost a lot of money.
