I, the villain, have a system for listening to advice

The three of them each received a women's mechanical watch, which looked very expensive. Now that they were well-informed, they could tell that they were all luxury goods.

"I wanted to wear something with earth characteristics but there seemed to be nothing suitable, so I went to Fifth Avenue." Jin Ruochu said proudly: "We are a professional team, and we are well-known in the circle over there. We must have accessories that match our status. This is etiquette."

"I'm glad you came back safely." Mu Jin touched the girl's head.

For some reason, the pink-haired heroine always likes to make herself look like a husky pet, sometimes cute and sometimes crazy.

"…Speaking of which, I just teleported from Los Angeles to Hermit Island, and when I came here from the island, I saw a lot of patrol boats. The coastal defense is more stringent than before. Unless I encounter a foggy day like this, I will have to protect my luck in advance when transporting next time."

"There's no point in hiding. Sooner or later, we'll have to step onto the stage."

"Do you have any ideas?" Nan Zhiyi asked.

"The cult wants to push for the establishment of a management bureau as a middle ground. On the surface, they are two organizations, but in operation they are mutually complementary. The candidates have also been chosen."

Jin Yulu suggested: "Before that, we must manage those guys who are doing activities under the banner of the sect."

"It's easy to deal with the speculators, but now is not the time to discuss them. Relax a bit. You must be exhausted from the non-stop training." Mu Jin smiled faintly and said, "It's time for a holiday. After all, many people in the cult will go home for Christmas. We should finish various things before then. We also have to celebrate New Year's Day for this difficult but wonderful year."

As soon as she said this, the girls suddenly realized that it was already the 21st of the year, and before they knew it, even the life-and-death catastrophe had passed for a while.

Resupply turned out to be the last task of this year.

Hibiscus continued to control Hermit Island and carefully received the container cargo. The rest of the people also returned to their posts and became increasingly busy as more and more supplies arrived.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there were no accidents that might attract the attention of the army or be discovered.

Later in the night.

Hibiscus announced that the "holiday has officially begun", which caused the magical girls to cheer. After the trip to the North Pole, their tense nerves finally relaxed. During this period, the information of the magical girls who had been captured by the Goshawk Company was also processed and they could return home safely.

In fact, it is impossible to completely erase the information no matter what, there will always be traces, so one of her considerations is to cooperate with Nan Zhiyi to actively reveal the flaws.

A magical girl who disappears for a while and then returns to her familiar society will always leak some information, especially the reorganization of Goshawk Company is likely to unseal relevant information, so why not use the holiday as a verification period. Aren't you in the midst of internal strife? It's just right for me to get involved and test your reaction.

In this way, the last collective mission of the Salvation Sect was completed, and the days of anxiety for them finally came to an end.

The next day, the sun rose and dawn welcomed Hermit Island into a new era.

Chapter 122 Holy Medicine (6K)

Los Angeles, Goshawk Corporation’s new headquarters building, board office.

After the meeting, Gallup strode out of the room and closed the door. He then untied his blue tie and took off his jacket. He fanned his face and muttered, "It's so tiring. Those financial sponsors, executives and partners are vampires. Satan should take them away. Don't you agree?"

He greeted the woman in black nun clothing who came out next. On her chest was the emblem of the Winter Mercenary Company.

Catherine, the holy remains, was born in a monastery belonging to the laboratory institution under Pesha.

Although he has few military achievements and usually does not show up in the circle, he has been in charge of all aspects of the liaison work of the North American branch of Winter Company. He is actually known for his business acumen. This time he was ordered by President Bull to come and lend a hand.

"I shouldn't answer that question."

"Are you still holding a grudge against the Edo arrest case? I've already apologized and compensated Ms. Pesa, and the president probably sent you here to repair the relationship."

"…I am not a petty person, otherwise I would not help you lobby the board."

Katrin thought that the real loss was that the channel that should have contacted the Salvation Cult was cut off. Now there was still no news from Minase Kaori. When she visited her family, they were in a peaceful mood but were unwilling to reveal more information. The possibility of taking the family route was also destroyed. What's more important was that the attack on Boss Pesha was unforgivable in her eyes. It was disturbing that the person she respected the most was attacked.

However, Quincy, who led the battle at that time, is now involved in a military court, and Gallup's severe defeat has been enough of a lesson.

"In fact, Your Excellency is not worthy of my hostility."

"I always feel like your eyes are sharp and your words sound like you're cursing."

The two glared at each other and then burst into laughter. Although they were bickering on the surface, they were quite satisfied with this cooperation. From then on, the mercenary group won a victory.

The catastrophe beasts have been surrounded and wiped out to the point where there are only a few left, but that doesn't mean the army didn't suffer any losses during this period. In fact, except for the Arctic war zone which has retained a large number of grassroots combat forces thanks to the gathering of strong men, the garrisons in various places have suffered serious injuries or even loss of vitality. If the losses are shared by a single country, the military power will definitely decline.

Mercenary companies are well aware that as official manpower is depleted or damaged, they will certainly be hit, as evidenced by the current dispute with the Goshawk Company.

The power must be in your own hands.

The war between the holy relics and the army that took place half a century ago seems to have happened a long time ago, but the historical grudges have been passed down to this day. In fact, the older generation such as Pesa and Philomena still have grudges. Their lack of interest in politics does not mean that their tendencies in words and deeds will not affect later generations.

Over time, the remains of the successor saint became more independent and gradually distanced themselves from the official authorities.

The top management of the countermeasure organization tried to ease the conflict through personnel adjustments, trying to create a situation where "you are in me and I am in you".

Therefore, the "Sacred Relics Treaty" came into being, and full privileges were allowed. These treaties once dominated a long period of peace, but now the times have changed dramatically:

Over the years, the national army has suffered several losses and delegated power to mercenaries, resulting in the birth of a series of arms monsters. The decisive event was this catastrophe war, which caused heavy losses to the regular army. In the end, the balance of power changed. The two sides will use game to redefine their respective positions and determine the power niche.

The Salvation Mission is also important.

The Magical Girls Organization may seem to be a third party, but if you think about it carefully, their purpose is to seek power. From whom? They also want to cut flesh from the established rulers. Therefore, the cult actually has the same strategic interests as the alliance.

The mercenary leaders saw this clearly, so they became positive towards the magical girls, and all previous misunderstandings were cleared up.

Past conflicts are not worth mentioning; today’s interests are what are important.

"Chairman Gallup, I have been entrusted with a task. Please keep it safe."

Catherine took out an exquisitely wrapped box from her bosom, which contained a Band-Aid. But if you look closely, you will find traces of the poison of knowledge. This is a relic.

Holy medicine.

Seeing is believing. Gallup had heard a long time ago that there was a relic in liquid form that was said to be able to cure everything, even the sequelae of conceptual knowledge poisons. It was stored in the Antarctic relic base, and only a few people, such as the legendary ancient holy body, the Snow Girl, could mobilize it. After all, if you use it a little bit, it will be less and less, and it cannot be replenished. After all these years, no one knows how much is left?

"...It seems you have discovered me." After a bitter smile, Gallup lifted his collar and saw a festering area around his heart.

He suffered the most damage during the siege of the brain-eating beast, almost single-handedly acting as a shield to block the physical attacks of the high-level disaster beasts. The worst thing was that his heart was almost pierced.

The contamination contained in the opponent's attack was difficult to remove, and the cold combat environment caused the wound to continue to worsen. Fortunately, the holy body had a non-human physical fitness, otherwise it would have been corroded into a pool of rotten meat. During this period of time, he almost had to have a grand funeral.

"You're really capable. It shouldn't be because of the boss's power, right?" Catherine asked.

"of course."

"Then why?"

Gallup took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Quincy has helped me a lot in the past. I can't just ignore his kindness, right? Besides, the company is the result of everyone's hard work. It can't be taken away by outsiders... Speaking of which, the guardian of the relic vault is willing to give me special approval?"

He was well aware that there were huge interests involved behind such a strategic resource, and many times he would rather die than use it, but it would be very dangerous for him to die again.

"At that time, Ms. Philomena noticed that your condition had worsened, so she went to see General Walpole alone and asked him to give you the holy medicine that was supposed to be used to counteract the holy spear. She delayed this period of time to wait for the approval from the treasury. The Snow Girl even had a quarrel with some stubborn guys because of this."

"This must be an easy thing, what's the price?"

At this point in the conversation, Gallup still didn't accept the Band-Aid. If there was a price he couldn't accept, they would negotiate again.

Katrin said bluntly, "In exchange, the Snow Girl will lead the treasure house to cut off all external contacts and keep moving in Antarctica for an unknown period of time..."

The tension is increasing!

To put it bluntly, the relic vault stores a large amount of super-standard forces, which are basically under official control. It is equivalent to the nuclear submarine of one of the two countries with tense relations disappearing into the sea. The threat is self-evident.

"Let's not talk about that." Gallup took the band-aid with the holy medicine and put it on himself. "I feel good. I should be fully recovered in a few days."

"That's good. Let's go and have a seat in our company."

Catherine came with Pesha's orders. Help is in return, and the two mercenary giants will be more closely connected.

They walked out of the building together and saw reporters surrounding them. A guest was greeting them. It was Senator Miller, who manipulated the incident of parachuting in the president of Goshawk Company.

A bad guest comes with bad intentions.

In a flash, Gallup and Katrin looked at each other. The eye contact was enough. No matter what the senator came under, he had to be polite. At least he had to maintain superficial peace in front of so many media.

The nun automatically fell behind and behaved in a low-key manner. She had never been the focus of attention, so naturally she would not be noticed by the camera.

Instead, Gallup straightened his suit and tie, smiled and walked forward, while Miller on the opposite side also shook hands with him in a familiar manner.

They acted quite harmoniously, standing together in front of many flashing lights, smiling and chatting, but so far they had not said a word. One side was waiting for the other to make the first move, while the other side was preparing.

"Congratulations to Mr. Gallup on taking over the position of Chairman of Goshawk."

"Thanks to you."

"By the way, after fighting side by side in the Arctic, what do you think of the Salvation Cult?" Miller's eyes became sharper. "Can they be friends with the coalition forces?"

Gallup smiled on the surface but his heart was in a mess. He seemed to have returned to the disgusting feeling of simply dealing with a group of old foxes in the board of directors. You guys are making moves here and there, and finally converging into one blow. It's really annoying. To be honest, he wanted to refuse, but the many cameras gave him a sense of pressure. If he couldn't handle this scene, he would definitely be looked down upon by his peers.

Just as he was struggling with this, he heard Katrin's magical voice behind him: "Don't answer directly. Pause for a moment."

The Holy Body has already mastered such a fine manipulation of magic? As Pesha's confidant, Gallup, who is always sensitive to the field of battle, was moved. It seems that when he was injured, he was busy with government affairs and neglected to exercise.

"Ask a question that speculates on motives and then express an opinion that is actually irrelevant. Say it with me..."

"Does Your Excellency intend to cooperate with the Order? Indeed, I think they have made great contributions."

Gallup served as a sounding board.

"That's right." Miller insisted as if he had expected it and then asked, "I heard that your company has some information about magical girls. Can we exchange it?"

This statement was shocking. Is it crazy? We all know how the Savior Cult protects information. Don't forget how the landmark building of Goshawk was demolished. You don't think the State House building is stronger than a military fortress, do you? This public statement can even be interpreted as a provocation.

No, it should be said that the media enjoys creating provocative topics, and now it's lively.

The reporters pressed the shutter buttons even harder, with flashes and clicking sounds continuing, leaving Gallup with a slightly stunned expression.

To this day he still hasn't forgotten the silver-haired figure in military uniform who was willing to kill anyone who stood in his way, who first killed himself and then executed Quincy's old boss, and even failed when the catastrophe beast came to attack him. There was nothing she was determined to do but couldn't do.

Including teaching you a lesson.

Gallup sneered at the ignorant senator who dared to test the Order, and repeated Katrin's words:

"I'm sorry, we may need to sort out the lost data, which will take some time. But it doesn't matter. The key is that you must have a plan to develop a relationship with them?"

Miller nodded and said to the camera: "In fact, I received some ideas from General Josh, such as the establishment of a special department composed entirely of magical girls and the cult can send personnel... But it is just a draft, and it needs support from all parties."

His calm and composed attitude made the two saints feel threatened.

This person is pressing forward step by step with murderous intentions.

As if he had accomplished his mission, Miller's next speech turned into a politician's repetitive speech. He exchanged insults with Katrin through Gallup, the megaphone, and the greetings between the two sides were completely devoid of any substance.

A few minutes later, he waved and walked away, saying, "I firmly believe that your company will give more feedback to the people of California."

Gallup replied with a wry smile: "Of course, we will assume social responsibilities."

The reporters were still not satisfied and surrounded the new boss, but Katrin winked at the bodyguards to stop the media, and the two got into the limousine and drove away quickly. Now the situation is very clear. In fact, Miller seems to be taking a risky move, but in fact he is protecting himself. If the official faction loses this time, he may usher in his political ambitions. He simply hypes the topic of the Salvation Cult to introduce another force, not to mention that he also pulled the banner of General Josh.

They are old comrades who know each other well. The senior mercenaries know that she is absolutely reliable as a partner, but as a representative of the official faction, she will definitely be difficult to deal with and must be treated with caution.

"I just can't handle these guys."

Gallup gritted his teeth and sighed, while Katrin, who was sitting opposite him, crossed her legs and held her chin up as if thinking.

"…If my perception is correct, Miller is actually very scared."

"Afraid? He's arrogant."

"If something you have worked so hard to promote ends up in a mess, the opposition will definitely use it as an excuse. Moreover, the shooting in the park has not yet resulted in any result. I am afraid that even those guys in suits and ties have been intimidated by the mercenary style. If the higher-ups make further trouble, someone may have to be pushed out as a sacrifice."

"I don't understand these complicated twists and turns." Hearing this, Gallup shrugged and muttered, "I don't want to have anything to do with the Salvation Cult anymore."

One of the side effects of the Faceless Men and the Life Spores' resurrection is that they remind people of danger. The breath emitted by the murderer who killed them makes their body functions tremble constantly. That feeling is terrible.

It just happened that the War of Island No. 24, the Battle of Los Angeles, and the Battle of the Arctic all happened later. How unlucky.

Is it possible that he lives under the influence of bad luck?

So unlucky.

Seeing Gallup's expression change, Katrin sighed. It turned out that this guy was not good at management positions. It was a pity that you had to take over, otherwise the position would be given to an outsider.

"Why not support Miller's idea? After all, the general trend is that the cult has the same interests as us, but some information needs to be confirmed in advance. Tell me the truth, how much information about magical girls is left in the laboratory?"

"It's hard to answer with a few words. In addition to the damage caused by the battle between Hyacinth and Quincy, the archive was also flooded and burned... the names and photos are unrecognizable."

Katrin frowned. "The document is intact and contains most of the information, but the name and appearance don't match?"

Gallup nodded seriously.

It was very strange. Anyone who was not stupid could see that the whole thing was filled with horror. Some miracle power had erased the information of the magical girls. Moreover, the files had been lost, damaged or invalidated since then. In short, it was like a curse, which further confirmed the protection of the information by the cult, which was regarded as forbidden.

"That Hyacinth has many powerful magical girls under her command, so it's not surprising that she could do something like this."

"That's why I don't want to get involved. It's too abnormal."

"It doesn't matter. Although the cult is very powerful, the holy relics are also getting stronger." The nun smiled faintly. "We will soon reach the Winter Company. I will have something good to show you then."

The car drove from the Goshawk Company to the seaside.

Katrin and Gallup fell silent and began to pay attention to the streets outside the window. From time to time, they saw armored vehicles, tanks and a large amount of military supplies. After all, this country bordering two oceans was plagued by frequent disasters and chaos, and there was continuous gunfire 24 hours a day even though it was not a main battlefield.
