"Isn't it a perfect entrance? Look at their surprised expressions."

Suri couldn't help but cheer for Ren Dong's appearance, watching as Ren Dong rushed into the room.

'I've seen plenty of people's surprised expressions before they die, Suri, aren't you the same?'

"Of course, but who doesn't like a grand entrance?"

Honeysuckle nodded, then approached the boss room marked by Su Rui. The last room had a heavy metal door with an electronic switch.

The metal door, at least ten centimeters thick, slowly opened as Ren Dong approached, and then she saw, in the spacious hall, the hostages that Su Rui had mentioned earlier, who were the infected.

When the infected people locked in the cages noticed Honeysuckle's arrival, they just huddled inside the cages, looking at her with slightly fearful eyes. Their bodies were dirty, and Originium crystals grew on their exposed skin.

'Didn't those guys consider the lives of the hostages?'

Honeysuckle frowned, looking at the infected in the cages. She instinctively wanted to open the cages, but she remembered that there was a dangerous target here, so she raised her gaze to the center of the hall.

"The Winter Spirit Blood Witches here are not the Mafia of Syracuse. They don't kidnap hostages to make money. They only need their flesh and blood and the source stones on their bodies. Naturally, they don't care whether the hostages live or die."

As Suri spoke, she marked an upward-looking symbol in Honeysuckle's field of vision:

"Look up, what's covered by the white curtain, I turned on the switch, that's one of the reasons they caught these infected people."

Honeysuckle nodded, and then the sound of gears turning, accompanied by the teeth-grinding sound of metal rubbing together, was heard. The white curtain was pulled back, revealing behind it... a writhing mass of flesh and Originium.

"It looks like a slime right now, but it's actually an incomplete form. It would look better in its complete form."

Book 7, Chapter 416: The Son of God shall repent in my bosom.

Looking at the monster before her, Honeysuckle couldn't help but show a look of disgust:

"It looks like flesh and Originium were broken into pieces and then mixed together."

"That's true. After all, their original plan was to first accumulate the overall volume to a sufficient level, and then use the effects of magic to reshape the monster's body."

As Suri spoke, she revealed the complete monster image:

"Although it's not actually that good-looking, it's at least more aesthetically pleasing than the current slippers."

Honeysuckle shook her head: 'No matter how you look at it, it doesn't conform to human aesthetics... How are we supposed to deal with this disgusting monster?'

"Actually, it's not activated at all. It's just some live meat chunks and Originium gathered together. Just burn it off."

Ren Dong nodded. Since Su Rui had said so, she must have already come up with a solution.

“I’ve already communicated with Aya using electronic devices. She’s on her way here, so we need to reassure the infected people in the cages first and then tell them that a doctor will be here soon.”

Honeysuckle nodded, and just as she was about to open the cage as usual, Suri's voice stopped her:

"Wait a minute, don't expect them to be as obedient as the hostages in Syracuse who were released after you took them out. Explain things to them clearly before releasing them."

Ren Dong nodded, not doubting Su Rui's words, and turned her gaze to the infected people locked in the cages.

"If you don't know how to explain it, just follow my suggestion."

"Don't worry, those evil wizards have been eliminated. Now, I will open the cages and let you out. You will need to undergo a check-up and some basic treatment first. No crowding or chaos is allowed. Do you understand?"

While reading Su Rui's instructions, Ren Dong spoke to the infected people locked in cages, stroking her sword blade and gently wiping it with a towel that Su Rui had taken out of the system space.

This is also a hint given by Su Rui: sometimes, the blade in one's hand is more effective than reason in persuading people to listen to reason.

Honeysuckle's words were indeed effective. After seeing the infected in the cages nod and swinging her sword to break the chains and release them, the infected simply stood nervously in front of Honeysuckle and did not think of escaping.

After a short wait, Honeysuckle heard footsteps coming from not far away.

Ya Ye was running here, panting heavily, holding onto her handbag. When she reached Ren Dong, she couldn't help but support her knees with her hands, breathing heavily and saying, "I, I'm here, Miss Ren Dong, and Mr. Su Rui."

"Don't worry, these infected people are still in stable condition, and Su Rui has sufficient supplies, so there's no need to worry about a lack of medical supplies."

Honeysuckle helped Aya find a seat in the hall, then placed the table that Su Rui had taken from the system space in front of Aya, before looking at the infected people who were still nervously watching from a distance:

"Line up and come over for inspection one by one."

The infected looked around nervously, sizing each other up, and finally a few of the bolder ones took the first step and came to stand in front of Aya.

"By the way, these infected people must have gone without food for a while. After all, for those Winter Spirit Blood Witches, all they need is to stay alive. Give each infected person who has been examined some food, and they will be more willing to undergo the examination."

As Su Rui spoke, she placed two small pieces of bread and a small bottle of water in Ren Dong's hand: "Remember, each person gets one serving, just these three items, and no one is allowed to take them from each other."

'I see.'

Honeysuckle nodded, handed the food in her hand to the first infected person to be examined, and then stared intently at the bread in her hand:

"Everyone gets a share; you can come and pick it up yourself after the check-up."

At the same time, Honeysuckle was still a little confused: 'Why is there only so little? Food isn't something you lack, is it?'

"Because they might eat themselves to death." Suri showed Ren Dong a drawing:

"For someone who has been hungry for a while, eating too much at once can cause problems with their delicate digestive system. The most common example is internal bleeding, which can lead to death, or in other words, death from overeating."

Ren Dong nodded and didn't say anything more. She simply followed Su Rui's instructions and placed two small pieces of bread and a bottle of water in front of each infected person who came to her after undergoing examination.

With the lure of food, the infected individuals became more eager to get tested.

Just as Suri and Ren Dong had predicted, some infected individuals did indeed try to steal food from others.

However, before they could do that, Honeysuckle swung her longsword and severed one of their antlers from their foreheads.

"No fighting, no stealing. If I find out again, next time it won't just be a horn being cut off."

Honeysuckle's cold words gradually quieted down the infected who had been somewhat agitated by the fight over the loot.

Next, Honeysuckle maintained order, and after examining the bodies of these infected individuals, Aya provided them with certain treatments.

"Thanks to the medical supplies provided by Mr. Su Rui, otherwise many people's conditions would have deteriorated to a very serious level."

Ren Dong nodded and gave Ya Ye a reassuring smile: "Suri is also very happy that he can be of help."

Although what Su Rui actually said was: "Even with treatment, these infected people's condition has not improved much. Even if they recover, they will still have to face a bleak life. Even though I don't have to face this, just thinking about it makes me feel desperate for them."

Suri always manages to find the most heartbreaking aspects of things even on the bright side. Ren Dong felt somewhat helpless, and she didn't want to pass on this matter or her emotions to others.

Well, although I know it's probably impossible to change Su Rui's personality, it doesn't stop Ren Dong from planning to teach Su Rui a lesson when she gets back.

For example, make him stay up all night and "repent" properly. As a nine-tailed fox, Su Rui does have the identity of a divine child. After he repents, Ren Dong can also repent to him.

With this thought in mind, Ren Dong's lips curled up slightly, but in front of so many infected people in dire condition and Aya, Ren Dong quickly suppressed her emotions.

Volume 7, Chapter 417: How dare you come here?

While Ren Dong and Ya Ye were comforting the infected, Su Rui gently patted the sleeping Lily of the Valley with his big tail, while passing the time with a tablet in his hand. Anto sat not far away from him, passing the time with a medical book in his hand.

"Looks like you're in for a lot of work, Agent Anto. Honeysuckle and the others found quite a few infected people being held captive in that Winter Spirit Blood Witch's hideout."

Anto looked up at Suri in confusion, instinctively wanting to ask Suri why she knew all this.

However, she then remembered that Su Rui had pulled out a large number of medical devices out of thin air, so she put aside her doubts.

This is probably quite normal for Suri; just consider it some kind of magical spell.

Anto nodded, put away the book, and got up to prepare his medical kit.

"They'll take the infected to the medical facility that's being set up, right? It's just a bunch of tents that haven't been set up yet, but it'll be a good place for the infected to rest temporarily."

After tidying up his fanny pack, Anto smiled at Suri and said, "In that case, I'll go make my preparations. Get some rest, Mr. Suri."

"May you have a safe journey."

Suri watched Anto leave, then looked towards the outside of the room, raised one of her tails and gently covered Lily's ear. The fluffy tail absorbed almost all the sound, preventing Lily from hearing the rest of the conversation.

"Come in, we're practically acquaintances, aren't we?"

Suri spoke softly, and then the door opened gently again. A Rupert woman in a suit appeared before Suri, greeting her politely and humbly.

"Hello, Mr. Su Rui? When we met before, you were communicating with me via mobile phone."

"Hmm, I bet you're not here for anything good."

Suri rolled her eyes. The woman in front of her was one of Ren Dong's subordinates in the Venice family. Suri's memory was a little hazy right now.

"I remember what I called you back then? Did I just call you 'subordinate'?"

"..." The subordinate's expression was somewhat forced: "You seemed to have called me driver directly back then."

"Oh, it's you." Suri nodded, giving a seemingly friendly smile.

"Yes, it is indeed me. I didn't expect you to remember me."

Then, just as the driver laughed, thinking the matter was easily resolved, Suri's expression suddenly changed:

"You're no good even if you're an animal! Get out of here! Neither Honeysuckle nor I are going back. Watch out, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Su Rui wasn't without any fighting ability. As he revealed his fierce gaze, Su Rui took out his repeating gun from his system space and aimed it at the female driver in front of him.

"Please calm down. Why are you so hostile towards me? I just want to talk."

The female driver instinctively raised her hand to beg for mercy, but Su Rui ignored her completely and simply aimed his repeating gun at her.

"If you don't get out of here, I'll blow your head off."

Suri's imposing manner frightened the driver so much that she retreated repeatedly, finally pleading for mercy as she backed towards the door:

"Please calm down. What if Ms. Honeysuckle has a different idea?"

"..." Suri still didn't put down the repeating gun in his hand, but he did listen to Rupert's advice and contacted Honeysuckle:

"Honeysuckle, one of your former subordinates from the Venetian family has returned, the driver. She says she has something to discuss with you."

Suri was quite impatient; he had no intention of being bothered by things that had already been resolved.

'Or I could just shoot her in the head and that would solve the problem.'

"Wait a minute, Suri. I need to hear what Miriam has to say. It seems there might be some trouble with the Venetian family."

Honeysuckle stopped Su Rui from trying to solve the problem directly. After all, she had grown up in the Venetian family and naturally had some feelings for the family.

"There's no problem. Syracuse simply acquired the technology to build mobile cities, and the new mobile city they were already constructing was completed today. Various families are vying for it, and now the Venetian family has remembered you."

Suri, somewhat displeased, directly displayed all the information she had retrieved from the driver's personal terminal to Ren Dong:

"The Venetian family is still under the old Venetian control, while the younger Venetian is still crawling in the shadows. If you go back, he'll definitely try to target you. What if he targets Lily of the Valley?"

Suri and Suzuran will definitely follow Honeysuckle, since it's safest to keep the child by your side.

Suri said somewhat discontentedly, "I'm telling you... unless we go back and wipe out that little Venice, I'm not going back with you."

Since the matter concerned Linglan, Suri couldn't help but get a little excited.

With Suri's support, Honeysuckle will definitely be fine. Suri herself doesn't care about minor injuries, but Suzuran absolutely cannot have any problems.

"...Alright, we'll see. If that guy really intends to do something to Little Lily of the Valley, I think the Venetian family wouldn't mind replacing him with a different future head of the family."

'You plan to go back and become the head of the Venetian family?'

'Of course not, why do you think that?'

"You killed the patriarch's son. As the patriarch's adopted daughter, you were raised to be his heir. Doesn't your action clearly demonstrate your intentions?"

Honeysuckle chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't abandon everything in Lungmen to go back to Syracuse and become the head of a family. The Venetian family can be left to the others."

Suri thought for a moment: "Actually, I think it would be good for you to become the head of the family. You could take care of Linglan, and in your spare time, you could also do some assassin work."

It seems that Suri is nostalgic for the "game" of infiltrating and assassinating people in the past.

Honeysuckle shook her head helplessly, emphasizing, "I won't go back to be the head of any Venetian family. We're just going back to see what Syracuse is up to."

"Do you even believe what you're saying? Anyway, if problems arise, we'll just solve them all, understand?"

Su Rui emphasized with dissatisfaction, and Ren Dong nodded in agreement:

"Don't worry, the rule in Syracuse is chaos. We'll take care of all the troublemakers, and then no one else will dare threaten us."

Honeysuckle quickened her pace: 'Have Miria wait there for a moment, I'll be right back.'

Volume 7, Chapter 418: A Good "Exchange"

If things went wrong in Syracuse, he would just unleash his full power and wipe out everyone. Su Rui made up his mind and relaxed a little. Looking at the driver who was still watching him nervously, he slowly lowered the muzzle of his rapid-fire pistol.

"Alright, you can sit here and wait a bit. Honeysuckle will talk to you when she gets back."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you for your understanding."
