Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

In his daily affairs, one key thing is that he must take the initiative to understand SilverAsh's thoughts in order to find possible flaws and ensure that everything is carried out smoothly.

The planner and decision maker has always been Yinhui, who plays the role of an auditor to find out the gaps and fill them in.

Noxis looked at Silver Gray intently: "Your current behavior shows that you believe that Ice Stone will not be biased towards the Commercial Federation, and your level of trust has reached the point where you allow them to contact the Commercial Federation."

Silver Gray nodded, thinking and reasoning, as if he was talking to a close friend, or to himself:

"First, we have promised Olicia to allow them to act according to their own plan. Second, we have no reason to ask a foreign noble for the details of the plan. Third, Olicia took the initiative to tell us about her actions, and I chose to think that she is a smart person."

"The first and second are both objective factors, and the third is your subjective judgment. From a researcher's perspective, I believe she is smart enough, but the current situation is completely different from scientific research. I must tell you that your actual contact with her was only less than an hour in the afternoon. Is your judgment really reliable?"

"As you said, direct contact is the best way to judge a person. I have had very little contact with Olicia."

As he spoke, Yinhui slowly walked to the window, touched the windowsill with one hand, and looked at the lights in Kalan City in the distance:

"However, in business games, people are never given too much time to make judgments. We can only make judgments about a person as best we can in a short period of time, relying on various materials and the information we can see. I have done the same thing countless times since I got to where I am today. This is also the basic requirement for being a director of Kalan Trade."

Nosis followed Silvergrey's figure and looked out the window, at the increasingly prosperous city of Kalan. Kalan City was like a miniature of Kjerag. As Silvergrey said, today's prosperous scene was created through repeated business confrontations.

"I won't stop you, but as a scientific researcher, I hate vague assumptions. I prefer to see logical reasoning or reliable evidence."

“The evidence is already there.”

"where is it?"

"In front of you."

Nosis looked down and saw the secret letter on the table in front of him. He frowned and said, "I've seen the letter. There are only some words on it."

"You are good at seeing through the mysteries behind physical phenomena, but you are weak at interpreting the deeper meanings that words can convey."

"That's a very apt description, and the reverse also applies to you. Please continue. I am a scientific researcher, and literature and history are your expertise."

"Jiaofeng often reports information to me in this way. If I analyze the wording and tone of the letter, compare it with his previous messages, and think about his current situation, I will be able to find the problem."

Silver Gray left the windowsill and walked slowly around the room, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally staring at the letter paper held by Nosis:

"What is certain is that from the time we left in the afternoon until Jiaofeng received the news and sent the secret letter, there was a total of four hours. During these four hours, Miss Olicia gained Jiaofeng's basic trust.

"He described it this way in the letter. Although what Miss Olicia was going to do sounded serious, he intuitively felt that the other party was sincere. The Horn Peak family has been the guards of Shivaash for generations. They are experienced and know how to judge people. His judgment can explain a lot of problems."

Nosis still maintained a serious attitude: "But everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Although Jiaofeng has a long career, he is still far behind his father."

“What if we add Enya’s feedback?”

Nosis hesitated. The Holy Mountain incident had long proved the correctness of the other party's decision. In the following two years, the saint mediated between the three major families and almost never made mistakes. Therefore, the other party's opinion became an increasingly important basis for decision-making.

"We can consider this from another angle. This information was proactively told to Jiaofeng by Olicia."

Silver Gray continued:

“It’s meaningless to tell the guards specifically about the night’s operation. Her intention is obvious, which is to pass the news to you and me through the Horn Peak.

“She knew very well that Jiaofeng was there to monitor her, and she knew that what she told Jiaofeng would soon be fed back to us.

"Miss Olicia has a very clear understanding of the various situations. When she told Jiaofeng the news, she was also telling us that she knew she was being monitored. She knew it very clearly in her mind, but she was willing to cooperate and was willing to accept the arrangement of Kalan Trade."

Nosis was silent for a moment: "I think you are right. Her actions are enough to convey these messages."

Silver Gray narrowed his eyes. "Don't forget her identity. Her identity will add weight to her attitude. She is the Viscount of the Ursus Empire. Her attitude represents that a noble of the Ursus Empire is willing to make concessions to this extent, and Kalan Trade must express its gratitude for this. If the cooperation with Bingshi is a business game, then this secret letter from Jiaofeng means that Olixia has put a chip on her scale, and this chip is something she grabbed out of thin air."

"...I admit that I couldn't think of this. She is more than just a scientific researcher. She is much more capable than I expected. But this doesn't change anything."

"That's right. A tiny chip can't affect the situation. Kalan Trade will always maintain its advantage. But what I really care about is that she can use the opponent's layout to turn it into her own advantage when she is at an extreme disadvantage. This method reminds me of someone - Ms. Kal'tsit of Rhodes Island."

Nosis was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I think they are very different."

"I just meant that their methods are similar, but in fact they are very different. Miss Olicia will probably never become someone like Kal'tsit. She lacks Kal'tsit's ruthlessness and indifference, nor does she have an aggressive temperament. During our meeting, she was smiling most of the time."

"I think this is a good idea. I don't want to meet another Kal'tsit. That person is not only dangerous, but also makes people uncomfortable."

"You think Olicia isn't dangerous?"

Silver Gray sat down, picked up the secret letter from Jiaofeng, and said thoughtfully:

“While she lacks some of Kal’tsit’s qualities, she possesses another terrifying ability.

"Didn't you notice? Today, you and I stood on Olicia's side and spoke for her in different situations. Even when we were most doubtful, we wanted to keep some trust in her deep in our hearts.

"She has a natural ability to easily win the favor of others."

Chapter 2023: Kalan City in the Early Morning 06-13-12 00:02:

The city of Kalan in the early morning is completely different from the bustling city outside.

In Longmen, Tremont and Cast Iron City, it is just the end of the nightlife at this time, with neon lights flashing on the streets and a constant flow of people.

However, in Kalan City, the activity had already died down. Not only was the avenue deserted, but even the hotels and shops along the road had turned off their lights. The dim street lights were the only source of light.

The buildings along the street were immersed in the night, and under the limited revelation of the dim lights, they looked like vague black fortresses.

"The streets won't be deserted until two in the morning." Miss Platinum walked in the middle of the avenue and looked around. "Even if there are no people on the streets, the lights will still be on all night. Tsk, Kjerag is really interesting."

"Energy problem." Miss White Wolf said as they walked. "Shelagh's energy industry is constrained by the Business Federation. Everything should be conserved. Besides, Kalan City was only established two years ago. The people here are not used to the lifestyle of the outside world at all."

"I feel great. People are asleep. It's like the whole city belongs to us. What do you think?"

"No feeling, just a little cold."

Miss Bai Jin hugged Bai Lang and said, "I'll warm you up."

The latter quickly broke free: "Hey, don't, we are on the street."

"There aren't any cameras nearby." Miss Platinum looked around. "I noticed when I first arrived that there are very few cameras in Kalan City. There are only a few important places. Can this protect us from the people from the Business Federation?"

"Maybe we don't need to be overly vigilant. The Commercial Federation focuses on Kalan Trade, but Kalan Trade's headquarters is not here. There is only a semi-idle directorate in the city, and the ceremony is going to be held in the next two days. In the past, they probably wouldn't bother to pay attention."

"That won't work either. What if someone like me from the Wuzhou League comes in?"

"If we put cameras all over the city, just like your Great Knight Territory, can we prevent the people from the No Helmet Alliance?"

"Of course not. The members of the No Helmet Alliance have all received professional training."

"That's it. I guess it's not set up for the time being because of its limited use. But after winter is over, there will be more and more foreign tourists, and all kinds of strange people will mix in. We will definitely have to make arrangements again. Maybe next time I come, this place will be very different."

"Not right now anyway." Miss Platinum blinked happily, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, "So, we are in the middle of the street, and we won't be discovered no matter what we do."

"Hey, hey, do you have any dangerous thoughts? Have you heard of being cautious when alone?"

"heard about it."

"Eh, have you heard of it?"

I have read a thick textbook on Yan country culture, don't try to fool me again, Miss Bai Jin thought.

"What do you think? It's just about paying attention to personal morals, especially when you are alone."

White Wolf nodded: "Oh, then you do understand."

"But now we are not alone, and, just because I know this truth, doesn't mean I can do it."

“This… In fact, many people can’t do it.”

"I'm different." Miss Bai Jin became more and more excited as she spoke. "I just don't want to do it. No, no, I'm willing to do some things, but I don't want to do other things at all. Guess what I want to do the most now."

Miss White Wolf subconsciously distanced herself from the other party: "I don't guess."

The action of pulling away actually brought the two closer together, because Miss Bai Jin took the initiative to move closer, very enthusiastic and eager:

"I want it. Let's kiss, okay? Right here, next to the street lamp, in the middle of the street. It's so romantic here, isn't it?"

"No, I don't see the romance." Miss White Wolf blushed and walked away.

Miss Bai Jin complained: "What's wrong with it? You didn't spend much time with me tonight. You were talking about work with that Jiao Feng. Now that I finally have this opportunity, you still say it's not good. Do you hate me?"

"No, as long as it's not here, then over there will be fine." Miss White Wolf pointed to the darkness on both sides of the street.

"It's only interesting here." Miss Bai Jin held Bai Lang's hand and said sadly, "Lovers on the street will kiss in public. I don't have that kind of request. I just want to imitate it when no one is around. Is that not okay?"

"Well, this..."

Seeing that Miss Bailang couldn't think of a reason for the time being, Bai Jin's eyes lit up, and he immediately hugged her from the front and kissed her excitedly.

The cold night made their lips icy cold. The first kiss was just a light kiss, and both of them were stimulated by the soft coldness.

The small setback actually increased Miss Platinum's fighting spirit. She kissed lightly, separated, then kissed again and separated. Every contact melted the coldness. On the fourth time, she finally broke through the crystal ice as she wished, tasted the sweetness of the first melting spring water, and continued with abandon.

After a long time, their lips parted, and a transparent, almost invisible thread connected the corners of their lips, which quickly broke as they separated.

"I really want to eat you." Miss Bai Jin murmured incoherently.

"What did you say?"

"It feels really good, how about you?"

Miss White Wolf had been relatively calm, but when asked this question, her face turned red uncontrollably, and the cold night couldn't stop it.

"It's... okay. No, it's not bad."

The two continued on their way. Miss White Wolf was thinking about what had just happened. She realized that when lovers kiss, even in public, they will try to find some inconspicuous places and will never take the initiative to stand in the middle of the street.

There is only one exception, which is when one intentionally wants to announce some message to the outside world. At this time, one will deliberately seek the focal position in the usual sense.

Miss Bai Jin had to stand in the middle of the road. Did she have such an intention? But there was no one around, so what was the point of doing that?

She couldn't figure it out, so she turned her head to look at Miss Platinum beside her. She found that she was walking briskly and seemed to be in a very good mood, so she didn't bother to think about it anymore.

Anyway, isn't it good enough that Platinum is happy now?

Half an hour later, the two arrived at an old residential area on the outskirts of the city, near the contact point mentioned by Miss Bai Jin.

Just in case, they adopted a similar pattern as before, letting Platinum walk alone for a while and make contact alone.

According to Bailang's plan, if he couldn't contact her this time, Baijin would come back immediately, wait with her for an hour, and then try to contact her again.

However, the first waiting time exceeded ten minutes, and Miss Platinum still did not come back.

This represents the simple fact that the connection was successful.

The people from the Chamber of Commerce waited an extra six hours beyond the stipulated time, risking the communication lines being discovered, until two in the morning, just for this one contact that might not even exist.

In other words, her plan to throw the directors of the Chamber of Commerce off balance had failed; the other side had chosen the best strategy to counter her tactics.

Chapter 2023 Balance 06-14-12 00:02:

After waiting for about five more minutes, Miss Platinum came out of the dark alley, looking very surprised and confused.

"How is it? I think we've made contact." asked White Wolf.

"Yes, we've made contact."

"Who answered the call?"

"Director Duluer, surprisingly, the call was connected on the first try. He actually waited until two in the morning."

"It means he takes it very seriously. How did you tell him?"

"Just as we agreed in advance, I told him that the Black Knight was discovered unexpectedly, and that Kalan City had also strengthened its defenses. I hid just in case, and didn't find a chance to report until the early morning. Because of this, the previously arranged mission was also delayed."

"How did he respond to you?"

Bai Jin hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "His answer made me feel that it was not like him, but I also felt that it was normal for him to be like him. In short, it was very strange."

"What's strange? Speak slowly and try not to miss anything."

"Then I'll start from the beginning. When I first told him about the Black Knight, he was very serious and said it was important intelligence. He also asked me about the details of how I discovered the Black Knight. I made up a story, which basically said that I discovered it by chance when I was observing the mission target from a distance."

"Did he doubt it?"

"Don't worry. I'm a professional in this area. I can make sure that my explanation is reasonable enough so that he won't find any doubts. Unless he doubts for the sake of doubting, which he doesn't seem to have."

"Oh, and then."

"I told him that because the Black Knight had appeared and the city had suddenly stepped up its security, I interrupted my original mission and hid myself just in case. I was hiding until now and only found the opportunity to report."

"How did he say?"

"He said 'very good' and told me that there was nothing wrong with my decision. It was incredible! When I was in the Wuzhou League, no matter what the situation was, the mission was the first priority, even if it meant risking one's life. The behavior I mentioned would definitely be severely punished in the Wuzhou League, but he actually said it was good."

"The nature of the organizations is different. The Helmetless Alliance is an assassin organization, while the Commercial Union is at least a business organization on the surface. I think what he really cares about is that you chose to lie low in that situation until you could send out the important intelligence you had obtained."

"That should be it. After that, he asked a lot of details about what happened that day, most of which were related to the Black Knights and the Kalan Trade, and I answered them according to the method we discussed. There were also some that we had not discussed in advance, such as why I made a certain choice, and I responded with the principle of caution when carrying out missions in the No Helmet Alliance."
