Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"I underestimated Qi Yan, or rather, I thought Qi Yan was too simple."

Perplexed, Violet asked, "Could it be that the conversation between the Pope and Qi Yan just now concealed a deeper conflict?"

The Pope shook his head: "It's not our conversation, it's Qi Yan's other behavioral manifestations."

"I don't understand, and I hope the Pope can explain."

Violet frowned and raised her hand to support her smooth chin.

She was wearing black gloves, which contrasted sharply with her fair skin, making the faint haze on her face even more alluring.

Unfortunately, no one present was in the mood to appreciate Violet's beauty and demeanor. The Pope didn't even glance at her and strolled to the window of the conference room.

Every step the Pope took seemed to speak, revealing the anxiety and sorrow in his heart.

"Villian, tell me, what would happen if I made the wrong decision?" The Pope looked out the window, his back to Villian, and suddenly asked.

"...In any case, I will follow in the Pope's footsteps."

Violet stepped forward and answered seriously.

Then she saw the Pope turn around and look at her meaningfully.

Just when Violet thought the Pope would open the connection between the Sarkaz and test whether her words came from the heart, she saw the Pope turn back around.

Facing the window, the Pope gazed at the street outside, and said with a sense of loss:

"Unfortunately, I've already made my move, and even the Liboli beauty pageant is nearing its end, but why..."

Why did Qi Yan go to Laterano and not look for the birds or the girls of our Sarkaz, but instead get captivated by a handsome young man in Azer?

Violet mimicked Liberi's voice.

Upon hearing this commotion, the Pope turned around abruptly, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Violet.

"The...Pope?"

Violet instinctively took a half step back and raised her hand to cover her chest.

The Pope's eyes gleamed again: "That's the feeling. You, who are usually so shrewd and good at manipulating people, are showing a confused reaction like Li Boli. That's the contrast!"

Since I can't directly win Qi Yan's heart, I'll adopt a roundabout strategy. This usually aloof and domineering woman, so assertive with outsiders, is constantly making foolish mistakes in front of me. With such a contrast, I refuse to believe Qi Yan won't be moved!

"Pope, you..."

Violet was a little dumbfounded. Just as she was about to speak, she discovered that at this moment, the Pope had taken the initiative to activate Sakorta's empathy.

In an instant, Violet understood the Pope.

He is serious!

"Villef, go!" the Pope urged. "Go and snatch Qi Yan back from Aizer!"

Violet couldn't help but support her forehead with her hand, and said with a wry smile, "Is this a mission?"

The Pope shook his head repeatedly: "This is just for fun. The real task is for you to contact Qi Yan and ask him to find Mostima."

"Mostima is back?"

"On such a lively day, how could Xiao Mo not come to join in the fun?"

The Pope smiled confidently, as if everything was under control: "She's just hiding to avoid my reward, but I'm confident that with Qi Yan's abilities, I can definitely catch her!"

Chapter 972 Justin

The atmosphere in the cathedral did not seem to be greatly affected by Qi Yan's incident.

Of course, only the representatives of the parties involved know the specifics.

A group of people dressed in classic tropical rainforest-style clothing gathered together and whispered among themselves. Behind them, thick or thin crocodile tails swished and slapped against the polished floor tiles of the hall, making a crisp sound.

"What on earth just happened?"

"I think that Luper named Qi Yan must be very powerful. Everyone seems to be afraid of him. He must be very good at fighting."

“You’re from a small tribe, you don’t understand. The outside world is very complicated. Sometimes being good at fighting doesn’t necessarily mean you have a high status.”

"So that guy named Qi Yan isn't very good at fighting?"

"No, he's really good at fighting. Last time, when things happened in Victoria, quite a few tribes from our Sargon wanted to join in the fun, but they ended up wasting their time. Before they even got there, everyone in Victoria had been defeated by Qi Yan!"

"That's amazing! If I can bring Qi Yan back to the tribe, will our tribe be able to defeat the neighboring tribe?"

"Don't even mention the neighbors next door, even the neighbors two doors down have to listen to you!"

A passing representative of the Kasimir Business Association overheard the group's murmurs and couldn't help but feel pity for these naive fellows.

This proverb says, "Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult."

Their business association has been struggling to recover from the controversy surrounding the joint statement, and there's even a feeling that they might never recover.

Thinking of this, the business association representative felt a pang of sorrow and quickened his pace to find his companions.

Whether their business association can continue to gain a foothold in this land depends on whether they can make a name for themselves on the international stage this time, emulate the Rose Newspapers, and step onto the international stage!

Those who do not change are destined to perish!

The business association representative who was observing Sargon was completely unaware that he himself was becoming part of someone else's observation.

"Sargon, the Business Federation, Sherag, Letania, Yan, Victoria... There are more and more important countries participating in this international summit than expected."

The man in the Rhine Lab uniform lowered his head slightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Director Justin, I think the reason, no matter how you look at it, still comes down to Qi Yan's influence in various countries."

The clerk next to the man analyzed, "Not all of them, but at least the military of Yan and Colombia, as well as us, are here because of Qi Yan."

Justin, the head of the business department at Rhine Life, adjusted his glasses, snapped out of his reverie, and flashed a bright, cheerful smile:

"Please don't say that, okay? Some things shouldn't be brought up in the open. Don't the nations have any pride?"

"Um, sorry..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not scolding you. We're all family, so we can chat freely, but be careful of eavesdroppers."

Seeing how obedient the clerk was, Justin patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Then Justin Bieber returned to his work, his gaze sweeping across the church hall. He deftly pulled a business card from his pocket and strode toward a group of people.

"Dear friends of Victoria, hello."

Justin walked up to the leader of the group, his smile carrying just the right amount of enthusiasm, and handed him his business card: "May I have the honor of making friends with you all?"

The captain of the Victoria delegation was a woman who was suddenly struck up a conversation with Justin Bieber, who was both sunny and outgoing and had a flamboyant personality. She couldn't help but take a closer look at the business card in his hand.

Only after confirming that it was a business card and not some kind of baby's death device did she take the card from Justin, who was dressed normally but had an aura even more like a gigolo than a male prostitute.

"Hello, Mr. Justin Jr."

The woman, Victoria, glanced at the business card and said politely, "It's an honor to meet you and your company."

Justin waved his hands repeatedly and explained:

"Don't misunderstand, beautiful lady. I'm not here to discuss business cooperation with you all, but to extend my greetings to you all and to Her Highness Vina of Victoria in my personal capacity."

"You know Princess Vina?" the woman asked, somewhat surprised.

"do not know."

Seeing the woman's puzzled expression, Justin Bieber calmly explained with a smile:

"Princess Vina's friendship with Rhodes Island is evident to all, and I also have a deep connection with Rhodes Island. I am grateful to Rhodes Island for bringing two strangers together so closely."

The woman remained silent for a moment.

She couldn't figure out Justin's background for a while.

Wasn't Rhine Lab robbed by Qi Yan?

Could there have been a deeper deal between the two back then?

Surely this guy isn't so bold as to try and infringe on Rhodes Island's coattails even after Qi Yan has shown up.

Thinking of this, the woman dared not offend him and gave a friendly smile: "Yes, my friend, thank you Rhodes Island."

"According to my information, Rhodes Island will also participate in the World Summit this time, and not just Qi Yan."

Justin seized the opportunity and extended a new invitation: "How about we go and buy some gifts after this meeting, and then visit the Rhodes Island team together?"

"...Of course, no problem."

After a brief moment of thought, the woman readily agreed.

Having achieved his desired outcome, Justin didn't dwell on it and turned back to Rhine Life's team.

One of the clerks in his group looked curious and asked in a low voice:

"Director, when did Rhine Labs have any dealings with Rhodes Island?"

“That’s not important,” Justin shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing how curious this guy was, Justin Bieber smiled:

"The important thing is that, given Victoria's current situation, Her Highness Vina needs to expand her network of connections."

“Mr. Justin, I advise you not to play with fire.”

An off-key sound interrupted their conversation.

Justin turned around, saw the military-uniformed man in sunglasses walking towards him, and said with an unchanged smile:

“Commander Black, contacting Qi Yan is your military’s mission, but Rhine Lab’s mission has always been to establish connections with Rhodes Island.”

"You'd better not forget that Rhine Life belongs to Columbia."

"Of course I wouldn't dare."

"I don't want what happened last time to happen again."

"Commander Black, tell me, what kind of person is Qi Yan?" Justin asked with a smile. "And what kind of organization is Rhodes Island?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if we want to get in touch with Qi Yan personally, we might as well be more frank."

Justin pointed at Black, then at himself: "But if you're dealing with an organization, you might as well put your interests first. Rhine Lab is willing to help the unstable new Queen Victoria out of respect for Rhodes Island. This is a win-win situation for all three parties."

"Sir, that's all I can explain. You're in the military, so you don't need to worry about business matters."

Blake's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses.

He didn't like this Justin, especially the man's calculating and scheming manner.

Before Blake could speak again, a clear bell rang out from the center of the church hall.

Then a large number of messengers from all over the world came forward and began to guide the envoys from various countries to the dining hall.

“Oh, Laterano’s sweets.” Justin Jr. turned and left, complaining, “Sweets are just too unfriendly to a fitness enthusiast like me.”

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of a messenger from around the world not far away.

The messenger from all nations stepped forward and politely said:

"Sir, if you don't like the food offered by Lateran, I can take you to find some food that is more in line with the Colombian style."

Justin glanced at the messenger from all nations, and even he couldn't help but linger for a few seconds on the man's short, lush green hair, which resembled a potted plant.

But Justin quickly looked away, looked into the other person's eyes, and asked with a smile:

“But if I remember correctly, you were the messenger in charge of Victoria’s envoy.”

“Mr. Justin has a good memory.” The messenger said politely. “My name is Oren, and I am a senior messenger from all over the world. I naturally have a few people under my command.”

They will be responsible for guiding Victoria's guests and ensuring everyone feels at home.

"Is this some kind of special treatment for me?" Justin continued to ask.

“Just consider it making friends,” Oren replied.

The two old foxes exchanged a glance, both able to see that the other was scheming, but neither dared to point it out.

After Oren gestured an invitation, Justin Bieber and his team followed without hesitation.
