Upon hearing this, Sona and Justina looked completely bewildered.
Theresa, on the other hand, had a rather subtle expression—"Is this a good place for you?"
Facing Theresa's strange look, Han Fei blinked: "Why are you looking at me? Just tell me if it's a good place or not."
Theresa shook her head helplessly, her expression quite understandable—you!
Seeing the interaction between Han Fei and Theresa, Sona couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "So, what kind of organization is Babel Tower?"
"You tell her," Han Fei said to Theresa.
"Then I'll speak."
Theresa spoke softly, explaining the Tower of Babel to Justina and Sona.
After hearing Theresa's explanation, Justina couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards the organization dedicated to world peace and improving the situation of the infected, saying, "So there are organizations like this in the world. That sounds really good."
Sona asked curiously, "So, you two are also members of the Tower of Babel?"
"That's it."
Han Fei scratched his head.
Upon hearing this, Theresa's expression became even more subtle.
Not long ago, she was one of the leaders of the Tower of Babel, and nominally, Han Fei still had to call her boss!
But now, it's the other way around.
However, it was only a temporary thing, and Theresa didn't really care about it.
She glanced at Han Fei, giving him a questioning look—should I tell them my identity?
Han Fei thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Let's say it all. Anyway, we're partners, aren't we?"
"Ah."
Theresa responded, then looked at the two girls and said softly, "I'm sorry I favored you before, Justina."
A hint of confusion flashed in Justina's eyes, but she didn't speak. She simply looked at Theresa quietly, waiting for her to continue.
“My name is not Thea, I am Theresia.”
Theresa placed one hand on her chest and slowly said, "Theresa, the leader of Babel and the former Demon King of Kazdel."
"Of course, right now I'm just an ordinary employee under a boss who's easily excitable."
Volume 1: Chapter 211 Observation
"ha?!"
If you had to describe Justinian and Sona's expressions in one word, it would be "utterly dumbfounded."
As a country girl, Justina never left Kazimierz in her entire life.
However, after arriving in the Great Knight Territory, he gained a better understanding of the outside world through observation and exposure.
That's why she was so surprised by Theresa's identity.
Kazdel doesn't have a very good reputation on Terra; to be precise, the Sarkaz race as a whole doesn't have a very good reputation on Terra.
In most people's minds, describing this race as vicious and ruthless would be no exaggeration.
Because of this, many people who have never met Theresa and know nothing about the Demon King will probably only think of a relatively fierce image when they hear this title.
At the very least, she has absolutely nothing to do with a gentle and virtuous older sister.
However, reality is just that absurd.
Justine simply couldn't reconcile the image of this gentle older sister in front of her with that of the Demon King.
Therefore, when Justina heard Theresa's self-introduction, her first reaction was—could she still be lying to me?
But looking at Han Fei and Theresa's expressions, such doubts gradually faded, turning into a bitter smile.
"Sister Thea, no, Sister Theresa, I don't know what to say."
"terribly sorry."
Theresa stepped forward slowly, gently patted Justina's head, and said softly, "For certain reasons, I have to hide my identity."
Sona hadn't spent as much time with Theresa, so her reaction was much calmer. She said, "So, our way out is to go to Kazdel?"
“No, it’s not Kazdel, it’s Babel,” Theresa explained softly.
"What's the difference?" Sona asked, puzzled.
In her view, the two are the same.
"They are not the same."
Theresa paused, then explained softly, "Kazdel is no longer the Kazdel I know, but Babel is still the Babel I know."
Sona was even more confused, and Justina didn't understand what it meant either.
Seeing this, Han Fei coughed lightly and said, "In short, you won't be allowed to go to Kazdel. Babel is not under the jurisdiction of Kazdel."
"I see."
Sona nodded as if she understood, "I think I understand what you mean."
“If possible, I naturally don’t want to affect your original life trajectory,” Han Fei said solemnly. “And this is a fallback plan. If you are unfortunately exposed, you will naturally need a new environment where you can start over.”
"You do have a heart."
Sona said this and then fell silent, looking as if she was deep in thought.
Justina seemed hesitant to speak, but when Han Fei turned his gaze to her, she showed no intention of saying anything.
Clearly, both girls were considering whether to support or stop Han Fei's crazy plan.
Without a doubt, Han Fei's plan was quite crazy and audacious. If it succeeded and went undetected, everything would be fine.
However, if their identities are exposed, then Sona and Justina will have no choice but to leave their homeland, leave familiar Kazimierz, and go to a new place to develop their lives.
This is a life-changing decision, not something that can be easily made in a short time.
Han Fei was fully aware of this, so he did not deliberately urge him.
The two girls were given ample respect, and were allowed to make their own judgments and decisions.
A short while later, Sona spoke up, "I'm sorry, this isn't something that can be decided in a short time. I think I might need more time to consider it, and..."
At this point, she looked at Han Fei with a serious expression and asked, "What can they get?"
"My friendship."
Han Fei responded to Sona's gaze with the same serious expression, "Whether it's supplies or anything else, as long as you contact me, I will do everything I can to help you."
“That’s enough,” Sona said. “I hope you won’t let me down.”
She didn't bring up specific amounts of money, because she knew in her heart that it wasn't the right time.
A large number of Kasimirmarks would certainly improve the situation of the infected, but not now.
No sooner had the Business Federation headquarters been burgled than the infected received a large sum of supplies and funds from unknown sources.
In this situation, even a fool would know what's going on.
In comparison, Han Fei's promise seemed more secure.
That is, his promise is valid.
From what we've seen so far, Han Fei seems like a very reliable person. Therefore, even Sona, who has only known Han Fei for a short time, is willing to trust him this time.
In contrast, Justina was much more straightforward. She looked at Han Fei, then at Theresa, and finally nodded, saying, "For Theresa's sake, I support you. I will support you when you take action."
"Thank you, Justina."
Theresa opened her arms and hugged Justina, saying affectionately, "To be honest, it's because my boss gets carried away too easily, otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."
"It is indeed a bit of a dilemma."
Justina said in a muffled voice, "After all, I've always wanted to be a knight."
"But actually, I've always wondered, even if I become a knight, what can I really change?"
"It seems like nothing can be changed."
Justina raised her small face, looked at Theresa, and whispered, "If I become a knight, will this tragedy never repeat itself?"
No one spoke, but the answer was self-evident.
Even becoming a knight cannot change Kazimierz's current situation.
Those high-and-mighty capitalists still don't care about the lives of those infected.
“So, since nothing else works,” Justina said firmly, “why don’t I give them a little surprise, let them know that infected people can get angry when pushed to the limit!”
Sona, who had been somewhat hesitant, saw her hesitation lessen and a sense of understanding emerge after hearing Justina's words.
Indeed, what can a mere compliance with the rules set by capitalists and becoming a qualified competitive rider change?
Nothing can change that. They follow the rules, but the capitalists don't care about those rules at all.
Because the rules are only meant to serve them.
Having figured this out, Sona pursed her lips and said firmly, "Count me in."
After saying that, Sona looked at Han Fei and asked, "What's your plan?"
Han Fei didn't answer, but instead asked, "When does the main competition start?"
Sona knew this perfectly well and, without thinking, said directly, "Two days later."
"Then, the plan is clear."
Han Fei said seriously, "Since we still have time, let's start tomorrow morning by scouting the headquarters of the Business Federation. Once the whole city experiences a power outage, we'll storm in!"
"Before that, I will personally scout out the location to try to understand the specific situation inside, and then wait for the right time."
"You need to be careful," Sona couldn't help but warn. "The biggest sponsor of the so-called Knights' Tournament, the Commercial Federation, has quite a few competitive knights within its ranks. Some of them are exceptionally strong, far beyond what those Unarmored Alliance assassins could match tonight."
"I understand what you mean."
Han Fei nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. "I will be careful. At first, I don't plan to force my way in, as that would be too conspicuous. I will observe from the outside for a while first, and then find a reason to sneak in."
“It’s good that you know what’s going on,” Sona said. “So what’s next?”
"Shall we rest first?"
Han Fei subconsciously raised his hand to glance at his watch. It was already late at night, and if he didn't get a good rest, he might not have the energy to scout the location tomorrow.
Texas returned indoors after the conversation ended and said, "I didn't find any suspicious signs during the exchange."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Han Fei said softly, "Wait a minute, you should get some rest too."
Texas shook her head. It was a small matter, nothing to brag about. She said softly, "It's just what I should do."
"Shall we take a break?"
Sona pondered the word, then immediately replied, "I can't rest yet; they still need me here."
Sona is quite well-known in this area, and many infected people are familiar with her.
Given all this, how could Sona possibly sleep after such a tragedy?
Instead of sleeping, it would be better to throw herself into the remaining work and numb her resentment with it.
Sona looked at the others and said seriously, "You guys go and rest first. We still have to do reconnaissance tomorrow, and I might be busy for a while longer, so don't worry about me."
“Then I’ll help you,” Theresa said softly. “Anyway, staying up all night isn’t a big deal for me.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Miss Theresa,” Sona agreed.
"Just some little things."
Having said that, Theresa seemed to know what Han Fei was going to say, and preemptively shut him down:
"As for you, boss, go to sleep. The follow-up plans will still need your help to implement them."
Han Fei didn't mince words and said directly, "Alright, then I'll leave the night watch to you."
"go Go."
Theresa waved her hand, signaling Han Fei to go and rest.
