About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

"Of course, Miss."

"Yeah! Thank you so much... but that's still not right!"

Sora nodded contentedly, then shook his head vigorously once again.

Kong pretended to be unhappy, but she found that Orson had not done anything "criticizable" in the few days since he came to Penguin Logistics. Instead, he helped her in many ways.

The only 'disadvantage' is that I gained two pounds after eating breakfast regularly... but how could I possibly say such a thing out loud!

Sora ruffled her short twintails, while Orson stood beside her with a docile expression that said '0v0?', humbly awaiting her criticism.

Judging from the conclusion, it was obvious why this new employee of Penguin Logistics was favored by Texas. Not to mention, he had saved Texas when Texas was hospitalized before. There was no way he could compare to him...

Kong's little "bad idea" was thwarted before he could carry it out, and at this moment Texas also came over.

"Kong, what's up with Orson? He's been dealing with a lot lately. If it's not absolutely necessary, give him some quiet space."

"It's actually okay, Texas... huh?"

Orson responded with a smile, but halfway through his words he noticed that after hearing what Texas said, Kong made a "wuwuwu..." sound and hid at the table in the corner of the office.

—I'm such an idiot...! Not only did I fail to show Orson my power, but I even got scolded by Texas... Could it be that my idiotic persona is actually my selling point as an idol?!

With his plan having failed miserably, Sora lay in the corner, whimpering and not even noticing that his Lupo disguised ears had fallen off, and just let the two Carter's ears droop on his head.

"Um, Miss Kong?"

Before Kong had time to feel sad about the loss of his life due to a series of operations, he heard the voice of Orson, the person who caused him to become like this.

"I'm a mean-spirited fool, please don't talk to me..."

"You've suddenly become so negative... Anyway, I don't know what's wrong with you, stewardess, but please cheer up. An idol shouldn't be so dejected! Here's something."

Orson cheered Kong on and handed Kong a black cube.

"this is……?"

Kong took the small black cube from Orson's hand. Curiosity made her temporarily forget the shame and loss brought about by her embarrassing action.

"It's a [One-button automatic scare device], I made it using my tuning ability. Idols sometimes encounter strange fans, right? If a flight attendant were in that situation, she could use this to buy time until help arrived."

"Ugh…I'm sorry, Orson."

Kong looked at the small cube in his hand, and finally apologized to Orson honestly.

"I don't know why I'm apologizing, but I accept. Please get along well with each other from now on, Miss."

"Well, it's definitely more fun to just get along well with each other."

Kong gave Orson a kirakira~ smile. After not having to go against his own conscience and "be hostile to and make things difficult for Orson", Kong felt much happier.

Although Kong was still entangled in the increasingly close relationship between Orson and Texas, he was an idol, and what idols should do was to be honest and open and attack from the front!

Sora encouraged himself, and his arm just happened to touch the small cube on the table, and instantly—

[Listen up, people inside! You're surrounded!]

【Longmen is not a lawless place! 】

[I order you to raise your hands high and lie on the ground without looking up, then jump over here with one foot!]

"What? You want to be a good person now? Go talk to Shi Huaiya! See if that barbecued pork cat agrees!"

The voice of "Chen Huijie (forged by Orson)" came out from the cube and instantly filled the entire office.

After a brief silence, a sudden sound of someone falling to their knees was heard from the balcony on the floor below the Penguin Logistics office.

"Don't shoot, Sir Chen! I, I really have no choice, Sir Chen! I was forced to sell my second-hand mining card! Otherwise, they said they would publish my browser history. I really want to be a good person!!"

"..." "..." "..."

Texas, Orson, and Kong leaned against the edge of the window, looking down, all in silence.

"Well, at least it proves that this thing is really useful, right?"

Orson whispered, rubbing his empty bunny ears.

After a brief commotion, although Orson didn't know why Kong apologized to him until the end, he was still happy that his relationship with his colleague became closer.

Of course, although we are happy, the most urgent task is to catch the Sicilian Gang as soon as possible, protect everyone's safety, and then start to deal with the problem of the slums -

“Ding ding ding~~”

While thinking about his next step, Orson's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was only encrypted with asterisks.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Orson picked up the phone and asked the other party, and after a brief silence, a low, intimidating male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Orson. I am Wei Yanwu, the ruler of Longmen. I think - we need to talk."

"..."

Orson frowned. He hadn't yet thought of stepping into the center of the "stage," but Wei Yanwu, one of the "behind-the-scenes players," seemed to have set his sights on him.

Or maybe it was because I had "helped" Chen Huijie that I was looking for a reason to kill myself.

39. The Old Generation's Battle for a Son-in-Law (6K)

Earlier, in Wei Yanwu’s private office at the Longmen Guard Bureau Command Center.

Wei Yanwu was flipping through the documents on the table with a pipe in his mouth when the prompt sound of the encrypted personal terminal next to him attracted his attention.

Wei Yanwu opened the encrypted message, which contained the investigation records about "Orson" that he had previously sent his spies to collect.

It is not easy to investigate a person's records across the mobile city-state, because the information obtained will be consumed and distorted during transmission, not to mention that your trusted spies have other tasks recently.

The investigation revealed that there were approximately four or five other young men named "Orson" in Ursus. After eliminating some unremarkable individuals, the investigators zeroed in on the Orson who had appeared in Chernobyl.

According to the investigation, the other party seems to be engaged in a dangerous profession like "killer" in Che City, and his name will arouse the anger and hostility of a certain group of people.

His affiliation seems to be related to "Tallulah". Not only that, he also participated in the support activities for the Rostov family, the current "puppet government" of Chechen City. It is said that the eldest daughter of the family will obey his orders and say whatever he says.

Not only that, the investigators also heard some rumors about this teenager elsewhere, such as that he had used some means to turn the recently concluded Casimir Knight Competition into his own property, and that he was secretly colluding with another group of terrorist mercenaries.

"...!"

Looking at the survey results of the man named Orson, Wei Yanwu's brows were almost furrowed together. He didn't even notice that the tobacco in the pipe had already burned out.

It was obvious that this young man was highly threatening, which did not match his appearance. There were probably not even a few dozen people with this kind of "resume" in the entire Longmen.

But the most important question is... he might be taking orders from 'Black Snake Koschei'.

That’s right, when Wei Yanwu saw Tallulah’s name in the intelligence, as an “uncle” he did not feel happy, but only felt a little disgusted.

From Wei Yanwu's perspective, he believed that Tallulah had long been bewitched by Kosciuszko. Although his emotions still hoped that Tallulah could maintain her "self," the rumors about the "Immortal Black Snake" prevented Wei Yanwu from replacing rationality with emotional optimism.

Wei Yanwu has been observing Tallulah and Koschei in order to be prepared for any response, and now - the black snake has finally sent its minions to Longmen.

What exactly is the Black Snake plotting? What does it hope to witness? These conjectures, unanswered, make Wei Yanwu's hair stand on end.

Finally, Wei Yanwu made up his mind that he needed to meet with this "visitor sent by the Black Snake" in person to confirm what he wanted from the city.

Meanwhile, Casimir——

[Tallulah, Tallulah~ my lovely daughter—what do you think of this outfit? I referenced Leitania's style. At first glance, it gives people the impression of being very cunning.]

"What's going on... I've told you many times not to use my appearance to disguise yourself. Besides, you can't carry weapons in a dress like this."

"You're going to the factory's completion ceremony to give a speech, not to blow it up, my daughter... In that case, how about this outfit? Orson will definitely like it."

"Orson would like it? What would he like... Pfft! Isn't this a bunny girl costume!?"

Collect it quickly.jpg

The 'Black Snake', who Wei Yanwu considered extremely threatening, was using his own shadow to try out various clothing combinations on behalf of Tallulah. As for 'Tallulah, who had probably been bewitched for a long time', he punched the Black Snake's consciousness to the ground with a red face.

On the other side, Orson also came to the command center after receiving a call from Wei Laoer. Similar to Wei Yanwu before, he also had a serious expression.

This is my chance. I must tell Wei Yanwu during this conversation that I am not Chen Huijie's boyfriend and will never become her boyfriend!

Orsen didn't know that Wei Yanwu had already known for a long time that Orsen was not Chen Huijie's boyfriend, nor did he know that the purpose of this meeting was to test himself, the "Black Snake's Blade."

Wei Yanwu had no idea that Orson still thought he was still thinking about his relationship with Officer Chen, and he had no idea that the "investigation intelligence" he believed was seriously wrong.

Orson came to Wei Yanwu's office, and the two met again, looking at each other silently.

——Let me see what you want to do to Longmen.

——Let me express in a subtle and tactful way that I have nothing to do with Officer Chen.

One of these two people thought he had investigated confidential intelligence, while the other thought the other had not investigated him at all. They were completely on different wavelengths.

——Looking at it now, the temperament of this young man is indeed frightening. He has no conspicuous aura and looks very ordinary at first glance, but it is precisely because of this that he was able to infiltrate into one coup and assassination after another.

Wei Yanwu observed Orson calmly and gave Orson this evaluation in his heart.

Of course, the last time they met, Wei Yanwu described Orsen as an "insignificant loser on the street."

"Mr. Orson, I'm glad you're here. I think there were some... misunderstandings during our last conversation."

Wei Yanwu invited Orsen to sit at the tea table and made him a pot of freshly picked green tea.

"Well, it's great that you understand it's a misunderstanding, Commander Wei."

After hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Orson nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be easy to resolve the previous misunderstanding today.

After knowing that he would not be "drowned in Tokyo Bay by Wei Lao Er, who was furious and mistakenly thought that his niece was seduced by Han Han", Orsen relaxed a lot and was not as restrained and serious when chatting with Wei Yanwu as when he first entered the door.

"Mr. Orson, I heard from Officer Chen that you're not from Longmen, right? Longmen welcomes all visitors, and I'd like to hear why you chose this city-state."

Wei Yanwu tried to test the real reason why Orson came to Longmen with a forced smile.

He certainly didn't expect Orson to tell the truth. A man like him would use lies to hide the truth. But Wei Yanwu was confident he could uncover the truth.

"Why? I came to Longmen to investigate something because of him...because of someone's request."

Orson remembered Officer Chen's previous instructions to him not to tell Wei Yanwu about anything related to Tallulah.

"……Oh I got it."

But Wei Yanwu's expression was very subtle. He had just spent a long time trying to figure out Orson's psychological activities, but the other party actually told him directly that he was here on behalf of someone else.

——This basically directly declares that he is a minion of the Black Snake... What exactly does he want to do?

"Your birthplace is Ursus, isn't it, Mr. Orson?"

Wei Yanwu put away his inner confusion and continued to test Orson's purpose and identity without making a sound.

"Yes, why would Commander Wei know that?"

"There's an Ursus twang in your voice. I've been there before."

"Hey, Commander Wei is from Yan, right? It turns out he's been to Ursus too."

Orson nodded in response, while Wei Yanwu continued to smile on the surface, but in fact he was constantly thinking in his mind what the young man in front of him was planning by suddenly taking such an unguarded posture.

"Yes, Ursus—that once glorious country that is now on the decline—I am certainly impressed by it."

Wei Yanwu used ambiguous words to test Orson. He wanted to know whether this young man was a fanatical Ursus patriot like the "Inner Guard".

"Ursus has indeed brought me many gifts. Although it is freezing cold there, I will never forget it. I received the most precious gifts from that land."

Orson responded softly. Even now, he would occasionally dream of the village located in a corner of the northern border. However, before it was completely buried by the wind and snow, there would always be a young red dragon pulling him out of the ice.

"I understand. I feel the same way about Yan Country. That country carries too much of my past, but I ultimately chose to pour this love into Longmen—By the way, Mr. Orson. I heard that there have been a lot of coups, big and small, in Ursus recently. Do you think this giant war machine is about to reach the end of decay and collapse?"

"I... am not sure what you mean, but when people can no longer maintain their original lives, they will seek change. Even Ursus is like this, and I think Longmen will be the same."

Orson looked at Wei Yanwu and said calmly.

——You should know what I mean, Commander Wei.

—Are you threatening me and Longmen, Black Snake’s sharp blade?

The two of them clashed with each other and both missed each other's intentions.

"I understand, Mr. Orson, I understand—and how did you get to know Officer Chen? She must have had her reasons for recommending you as a special agent."

Wei Yanwu had already confirmed that Orson was here with a vengeance, intending to launch a surprise attack on Longmen. The question then became, what was his attitude towards Chen Huijie? Was he determined to kill her, or was he indifferent? Or perhaps... he wanted to take her away from him, just like he had done to Tallulah?

Thinking of this, Wei Yanwu's aura could no longer hold back his usual calmness, and coincidentally, Orson just happened to sense Wei Yanwu's emotional fluctuations.
