Their commission was suspicious.

Not long after Chen Luo came out, the secretary of the Fire Moth executive appeared in front of the operating room and then led the gradually waking Fire Moth executive to an unknown location.

They must be going for a physical examination.

It's clear that if he hadn't been terminally ill, he wouldn't have considered such a dangerous procedure as fusion surgery.

When Chen Luo performed the fusion surgery on the other party, he also used his peeling ability to remove the other party's terminal illness, leaving only a layer of the root of the disease.

In this way, the other party can at least extend their life by a few years.

Of course, once the constraints of being a fusion warrior are removed, this terminal illness is not such a big deal.

With the successful case of this guinea pig eager to extend its life, Chen Luo felt that the frequency of fusion surgery for middle or senior management members would likely be even higher in the future.

Chen Luo's grand plan to unify the entire Fire-Chasing Moth seems to be nearing completion!

Although Chen Luo himself wasn't particularly interested in this.

Chen Luo was more interested in Hen's daughter.

"A dinner party? Of course!" Chen Luo readily agreed to Hen's invitation.

Among the members of this dinner party was Mebius, who has always been disliked.

It can only be said that although Hen and Mebius are not very familiar with each other, Blanca is.

"But Alicia, why are you here?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

“I’m your guard, you know. You’ve come to this kind of meaningless gathering, of course I have to stay by your side and help you test for poison.” As Alicia spoke, she used her chopsticks to put the piece of meat that Chen Luo was about to pick up into her own bowl.

"This is what you call 'testing the poison'? I suspect you're just trying to steal my food. And Heng, aren't you going to do anything about him?" Chen Luo said to the host of the gathering.

It was supposed to be a gathering, but very few people showed up.

Or rather, the only ones who were invited were Chen Luo and Merius; Alicia came on her own.

Besides that, there are only Hen, Blanca, and Little Greta.

Since the gathering was to thank Chen Luo and Mebius, it couldn't be too big.

The gathering took place on the third floor of the restaurant, "Moth Chasing Flames".

The restaurant on the third floor is reserved for private gatherings of senior combat personnel and researchers, or for special customized menus.

Unlike the first and second floors, you have to pay to eat on the third floor.

It's like a high-end hotel, except it costs much less than outside hotels, only charging the cost price.

"Don't look at me like that, you know I can't control this," the host said helplessly.

Who in the entire Firemoth faction can control Alicia?

"Alright, come on, little Greta, eat some more vegetables." Chen Luo sighed helplessly, then picked up some food for little Greta as he spoke.

This time, Alicia didn't snatch the food Chen Luo was about to pick up, which means Alicia was too embarrassed to take Gretchen's food.

This made Chen Luo suddenly think that if he added the food to Gretchen's bowl and then took the food out of Gretchen's bowl, would he be able to eat the food?

"Oh, and yours, Doctor." Sensing a calm gaze, Chen Luo knew what he had to do.

"Don't bother serving me food, I have my own hands," Mebius said coldly.

"Yes Yes Yes."

But you didn't refuse at all, did you?

"Where's mine? Where's mine? Lolo, this is discrimination," Alicia said, tapping the table with her finger.

"Alright, alright, here you go. Don't you have hands? But never mind, it's a farewell dinner anyway, eat more." Chen Luo said while putting food on Alicia's plate.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean? A farewell dinner?" Alicia was taken aback.

"That's right, I received the notification that starting today, you, the temporary guard, have been replaced, and I will finally have my own real, non-temporary assistant!"

"From today onwards, you can no longer bully me. If you do, I'll call my assistant," Chen Luo said smugly to Alicia.

"Hmm...why wasn't I a good enough bodyguard? Why were they replacing me? No way, I'm going to go back and argue with them," Alicia said, puffing out her cheeks.

“Alice, you said yourself you're just a temporary assistant. Besides, even Kevin spends most of his time dealing with Honkai Beasts. Luo really needs a real assistant. An assistant in terms of combat skills,” Hen said with a sigh.

Kevin and Alicia are the two trump cards of the Fire Moth.

What kind of thing is it for Alicia to be Chen Luo's assistant every day?

And Alicia probably knows she's just a temporary assistant.

"But I haven't had enough fun yet," Alicia said reluctantly.

“…Listen to me, thank you,” Chen Luo said after a moment of silence.

You're so good to me.

"Besides, Lolo, you're already Mebius's assistant. How can you, as an assistant, have another assistant?" Alicia continued.

"Whether you call me a guard or a bodyguard, it all means the same thing. 'Assistant' sounds better," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

"But why haven't I heard about this? When was it decided?" Alicia asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It was something Mei casually mentioned when she went to inform the higher-ups after the meeting with the lab staff today, and the higher-ups also take this issue quite seriously. Given that you really can't be Chen Luo's bodyguard forever, they quickly agreed to it,” Möbius said.

“May? Kevin!” Alicia suddenly realized something.

When Mena is mentioned, Kevin is the first person that comes to mind.

"Got it? This is called taking a roundabout approach to achieve your goal." Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

“But aren’t you afraid that your other guard will be like me? And do you think your guard can stop me?” Alicia looked at Chen Luo gently, while clenching her fist.

Alicia hasn't gotten revenge for that pink burlap sack yet.

Although Chen Luo promised Alicia one request and Alicia would forgive him.

But Chen Luo hasn't fulfilled this requirement yet, has he?

Even Chen Luo didn't know what this requirement was.

At least Alicia didn't mention it to Chen Luo in detail.

"If I remember correctly, Chen Luoxin's assistant should be Hua," Mebius mentioned.

"Hua? Why her?" Alicia was surprised.

"It's probably because the opponent is quite strong, and she's the only one left in their entire squad. That makes her easier to move around," Hen said.

The traces are from the perspective of personnel scheduling.

After all, Hen was a veteran employee of Firemoth, and could be considered a high-ranking member of the combat personnel, so he was quite knowledgeable about this.

"..." Alicia fell silent.

Alicia was no stranger to China, and even understood China's current painful situation more clearly than China itself.

After all, it must be unpleasant to see your captain die right in front of you.

Upon hearing this, Mebius couldn't help but glance at Chen Luo again.

Even if others don't know Mebius, don't they?

Chen Luo's relationship with Hua was ambiguous, especially since Chen Luo always carried around a Herald of Knowledge, like a pendant he never took off.

Chen Luo also has puppets among the high-ranking members of the Fire Moth.

Mebius doesn't believe that Chen Luo didn't do it on purpose.

Never mind.

A cricket and a white mouse.

"Now I wonder if Alicia will be able to bring herself to bully Hua." Chen Luo glanced at Alicia beside him.

"Hmm...you win."

Well, if it were anyone else, Alicia wouldn't mind using her charm to get past them and bully Chen Luo.

But not China.

Alicia had spoken with and given guidance to the other person when they entered the Fire Moth, so she knew how serious the other person was.

He is honest and conscientious, making him a qualified soldier.

Although it hasn't grown up yet.

But if the other party really becomes Chen Luo's assistant, they will definitely fulfill their guard duties very seriously.

Especially after the other party had just suffered a major blow, Alicia was even more embarrassed to make a move.

In a sense, Chen Luo paired with Hua is practically an absolute defense.

"Fine, since it's Hua, I'll let you off the hook. Making her your assistant isn't a bad choice. After all, I can't be your guard forever, and I know Hua quite well and trust her." Alicia sighed.

From the perspective of protecting Chen Luo's safety alone, Hua was a qualified soldier.

Playing around is one thing, but Alicia wouldn't joke about Chen Luo's safety.

"However, you must treat her well, especially avoid mentioning anything about the Herrscher of Flame in front of her, and she may be a bit taciturn lately."

“In a sense, having Hua as your assistant might be a good thing for Hua,” Alicia said, resting her chin on her left hand as she looked at Chen Luo.

After all, Alicia had seen that Hua, as a witch's companion, was ostracized by others out of fear.

Although Alicia can help Hua, she can only help him temporarily, not permanently.

Having Hua serve as Chen Luo's bodyguard serves two purposes: firstly, it keeps him away from controversy, and secondly, Alicia believes that Chen Luo can help Hua overcome his past struggles.

After all, the longer Alicia stayed by Chen Luo's side, the more she could feel a certain radiance about him.

It shines like a dazzling gem.

Alicia wasn't sure whether it came from the other person's soul or from something unusual.

But Alicia knew that Chen Luo was definitely a reliable person.

Chapter 604 The Fox (Luo) Impersonates the Tiger (Hua)

"We meet again, Hua."

"Ah hello."

"Have you received the notification? Starting today, you will be responsible for my protection. If you have any requests, just let me know, and I will try my best to fulfill them," Chen Luo said to Hua, who appeared quite silent.

"Why me?" Hua asked hesitantly as she stood in front of Chen Luo.

Why do you ask that?

"The notification I received was that you specifically designated me as your bodyguard, not that I was personally assigned by higher-ups. So why?"

Don't you know that I am a companion of the witch?

Hua wanted to ask that question, but ultimately didn't say it.

"Uh……"

Is this something I can talk about?

Cannon Fodder Number 1, you just wait.

Chen Luo said bitterly.

Chen Luo gave all the puppets considerable autonomy, and the puppets' basic intention was to do what was best for Chen Luo. However, Chen Luo did not specify what they would do, so they were free to do as they pleased.

"Actually, the first time I saw you, I felt that we were very destined to meet, and you are also the only reliable person I know besides Alicia."

"You might not believe it, but in all the time I've been with the Firemoth, I've only known fewer than 20 people. I know fewer than 10 warriors, and you're the only suitable one among them. They asked me to choose one person, and you're the only one I can choose."

Chen Luo tried to reason with him and appeal to his emotions.

Chen Luo was not lying; he really did know no more than 20 people from the Moth Chasing Fire.

Cangxuan, Danzhu, Klein, and Möbius in the Möbius Laboratory.

Hua, Alicia, Kevin, May, Verway, Desdobia, Kosmo, Gretchen, Blanca, and Hen.

And then it seems like that's it.

Cannon Fodder No. 1 and Killer No. 1 do not count.

Those volunteers don't count either.
