About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

——Are those people the legendary 'Longmen's last defense mechanism'?

If this young man really wants to change this city and the slums, then he will definitely confront those people again.

And when the time comes... I will definitely have to count myself in.

——Inside the Guard Bureau Office——

"So this is your report, Xingxiong? You dragged Orson to arrest an organ trafficking suspect during work hours, and even got into a fight with an unidentified guy?"

"Um"

"And your written report says [It feels nice to hold, small, but reliable, and has breeding potential]..."

"Um"

"[Easy to carry, a must-have at home. The only problem is it's easy to be kidnapped. In fact, I kidnapped it today.]...?"

"Hey hey"

"...Hey, you, Xingxiong!"

Senior Superintendent of Longmen, Ms. Chen Huijie, covered her eyes and complained loudly.

—If this guy keeps going like this, a war will definitely break out when Tallulah arrives at Longmen!!

"Old Chen, don't be so serious all the time. Go ask Orson for help. He'll definitely let you rub it, okay?"

"Of course I want to—no, I also want to—no, anyway, get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, yes. By the way, Lao Chen, I have another private report. Some of the contents of this operation are not convenient to be disclosed in the Guard Bureau."

"Got it... I'll go check it out later."

After driving Xingxiong away, Chen took out his cell phone with a pained look on his face and looked at the "Penguin Logistics" number on it.

We can't let that idiot Orson go on like this... We have to do something...!

48. Orson Reclaim Plan, Meet Mother-in-Law (??)

Casimir Knights

Friends, welcome to today's 'Rider News Express'. Today we bring you the following news:

The ancient knight family "Linguang" now shines once again. Margaret Linguang, once a Glory Knight, then exiled, has officially regained her knighthood of Casimir! After the Blood Knights, this is the second time an infected knight has been officially recognized. Contrary to expectations, the majority of the public is optimistic and supportive of this outcome.

After 20 days of discussion, the Knights Association and the Business Association have unanimously agreed to create a new competitive event, following the Knights' Games! This event aims to promote the spirit of sportsmanship, uphold harmonious competition, explore the beauty of knights, and create a positive competitive atmosphere. Currently, the event is tentatively titled "Uma Musume Pretty Derby," and registration is now open! (Only accepting cute girls.)

The "Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Factory" near Grand Knight Casimir's territory was officially completed two days ago. The project, jointly led by the newly established pharmaceutical company Rhodes Island and the National Assembly, aims to provide a stable working environment for infected individuals while also increasing pharmaceutical production capacity. This infected-led factory has been a source of much discussion since its inception, and now that it's officially open, the public is cautiously optimistic about it. As for the future of the factory's production capacity and management, we remain to be seen.

[Next is a commercial break: Filming has wrapped on a film based on the mysterious, unknown outsider knight, the Silent Knight. It's expected to be released nationwide at the end of this month. Premiere attendees will also receive a limited-edition pair of high-heeled shoes. Fans of the little knight, please call the number below the screen immediately—]

BIU!

The TV commercial was suddenly cut off in the middle of broadcasting, and the pure blue signal panel became one of the few sources of light in the room.

This is a conference room with the windows closed and the curtains drawn. The only light can barely illuminate the faces of the people sitting on both sides of the round table.

Talulah, the manager of the Reunion Movement, Alina, the manager of the Reunion Movement, and Froststar, the captain of the Reunion Movement Snow Monster Squad.

Rhodes Island leader Amiya, Rhodes Island leader's mother (?) Kal'tsit.

Casimir touched it on behalf of Platinum.

Everyone sat in their chairs in silence, their expressions serious and earnest. The atmosphere in the small space was incredibly tense, like the tense moment before a battle.

"Everyone... I hate to say this, but the facts are indisputable. I—made a wrong decision."

The first to break the silence was Tallulah. She stood up from her chair, her face ashen and her voice trembling.

Never bowing to any difficulties or hardships, the proud Draco showed regret and connected his personal terminal to the screen.

Click, a Luper girl holding a pocky appeared on the screen, click, and then it turned into a Rutland girl with a silly smile on her face.

Talulah slid her phone silently, and the characters displayed on the screen changed accordingly: the Luper tribe, the Ratlan tribe, the suspected Ratlan tribe, the suspected Unlucky Chicken tribe, and the last one she had just received not long ago, the green-haired ghost tribe.

"..."

After viewing the pictures, everyone remained silent.

"I...I shouldn't have let that idiot go to Longmen alone to find Huijie! I originally thought he would just accidentally drag Huijie into trouble, but that idiot infiltrated several factions in less than a month!"

[By the way, your sister was dragged into this, my daughter.]

——No need for you to add anything!

Tallulah banged the table and complained loudly, and in her mind, she punched the black snake away.

Although his decision did successfully prevent his sister Chen Huijie from being abducted by a strange scumbag, at the same time, Orsen was also working tirelessly to create competitors for himself...

"I won't say anything else—we must go to Longmen, immediately! Today's meeting is to decide who has the qualifications to go to Longmen and bring that idiot back. If we delay any longer, that guy will definitely be completely picked apart!"

"Shhh! (booing)"

Tallulah laid her cards on the table directly, saying that everyone gathered here today just to bring that troublesome guy back, and everyone booed in cooperation.

"Ms. Tallulah, I no longer want to ask why you arranged for Orson to go to Lungmen alone without telling anyone. My only question now is, do you truly understand how important Orson is to Reunion and Rhodes Island?"

The meeting entered the discussion phase, and Kal'tsit made some very sharp remarks right from the start.

"...This was my mistake. I hadn't contacted my sister for a long time, so my decision was indeed a bit impulsive."

Tallulah didn't continue to be stubborn. After all, even Alina would smile and say that she and Orson were a perfect match when she saw her (referring to the degree of naivety).

After hearing Tallulah admit her mistake so directly, Kal'tsit didn't say anything else. She sighed and shook her head.

"I can't go to Longmen right now. The Rhodes Island Medical Department still needs to be responsible for the subsequent training and guidance of the factory's pharmaceutical production line. In addition, we recently received two Agors who claimed to be deep-sea hunters. One of them is in a very bad mental state."

Kal'tsit looked through the medical records she carried with her and could only say that if Rhodes Island had not received the help and support of the knights in Casimir this time, the financial system of Rhodes Island would probably have been completely destroyed.

"The treatment for the Originium infection here is complete. I'm applying to go to Longmen."

Frost Star couldn't wait to express her desire to go to Longmen, but after raising her hand, she seemed to realize that she seemed a little too enthusiastic, and quickly found a few excuses.

"Uh... don't get me wrong, I don't want to meet Orson. I just want to go to Longmen. Um, buy some things for the old stubborn guy. Yes, buy him some health supplements."

Yukito stammered out an excuse, but no one present believed it except Amiya.

——This rabbit is definitely pure OO

As a terrifying existence that has always been ranked first in the "Attacking Orsen Ranking" and far surpasses the second place, everyone knows the reason why Frost Star is so active.

"Although I also hope to act with you, the infected here need someone to pay attention to and guide them on how to get along with the world. Since Tallulah will leave with Miss Black Snake, I must stay here."

Alina said with a somewhat lost smile, glancing at Tallulah, or Black Snake.

【…】

The black snake that inhabited Tallulah's soul shuddered. If she had to say who she feared the most in the Reunion Movement, it would be this ordinary little deer. Not only could she tell at a glance that she was going to replace Tallulah, but she would also always approach her with that terrifying smile, making her feel extremely oppressive.

"As Alina said, I will be heading to Lungmen, not only to search for my sister, but also to put a temporary end to the hatred of a bygone era. What about you, Miss Amiya? There are likely many operators in Rhodes Island who have connections to Orson or Lungmen. What are their intentions?"

What Tallulah said was true. After the incident of "Black Snake and Wei Yanwu talking on the phone", although Tallulah beat up Black Snake with a red face at that time, she thought about it later and realized that her identity was indeed extremely sensitive in Longmen.

Even so, Talulah still plans to go to Lungmen. It is time to put an end to the pain of her childhood, and she will move forward with Orson and the Integration Movement.

"As for Rhodes Island... Rosemary seems very eager to go. Although she hasn't expressed it, we can all see what she's thinking. And Miss Warfarin—"

"I've already hung her on the bridge."

"Uh, yeah, huh..."

Amiya rubbed the donkey's ears and looked a little embarrassed.

The discussion then came to a standstill. Although most people wanted to go to Longmen, it was obvious that the city-state of Longmen would not allow a large group of people to rush over.

If this city really welcomes everyone, Zaolu would have been eating hot pot, singing songs, and driving a car to the city to hit the goal.

After a somewhat noisy discussion:

"Then the result of today's discussion is—we'll discuss it tomorrow."

Everyone had their own things to deal with in the afternoon, so Tallulah could only rub her eyebrows and announce the results of this discussion.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

"Ahem... Ha, ha, um, the teacher is a little late. I'm a little late. Has the meeting started yet?"

Maria, who had rushed in from outside, asked while holding onto the door frame and panting.

"It has ended."

"Eh hey hey!? So, what's the result? I can also take a leave of absence--"

"The result will be discussed tomorrow."

"Then I took this afternoon off for nothing!? Gu... Why is this happening? Kill me...!"

Maria sat down on the ground with a look of doubt on her face. At the same time, Zofia's voice was heard from outside the door.

"Maria! I asked you to come to my house after class today to prepare for the party tonight, but the housekeeper said you came straight here as soon as you left school?"

"Gu, Aunt Gu? I'll go first—wooooaaaaaaaaaa!"

Maria, who attempted to escape but failed, was grabbed by the ear by Sofia, and was dragged away by the ear again not long after she arrived.

"It's all Orson's fault!"

The former female knight made a miserable sound of throwing the pot.

----------

"A-choo! Is Junjun saying bad things about me again..."

In Longmen City, Orson, who was walking on the street with a box in his hand, suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong, Orson?"

Texas, who was working alongside him, turned to look at Orson and asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's probably not a cold. Someone's probably blaming me. Besides that, is the delivery address this time the Longmen Guards Bureau Fire Department?"

At this time, Orson was delivering express to Texas, and it was a literal express delivery.

At first, Orsen was a little surprised that Penguin Logistics, a company with the word "logistics" in its name, actually also engaged in logistics and transportation.

But it makes sense when you think about it, as the neighboring Rhodes Island is a mercenary talent market under the guise of medical care.

"Hmm, it should be the newly developed fire-fighting equipment. Hello, is this Ms. Xiao?"

Texas knocked on the door of one of the rooms in the fire station, and soon a little Zalak girl wearing a firefighter suit came out.

——Hey, you’re so much shorter than me.

When Orson saw the height of the person opposite him, he felt much happier.

"Thank you very much for coming. We've been waiting for this for a long time. If the theoretical calculations are correct, this new equipment should be able to increase firefighting efficiency by 30%. However, our actual combat training is still very limited. It would be great if we could have a target that could be used as a target, that is light and can move quickly and climb out of a pit quickly if it falls into it."

"……rapper?"

Orson blinked, then was slapped by Texas.

Anyway, next time I'll try to trick Junjun over and complete the World Cup bond.

After the Fire Department, next is the Guard Bureau Command Center.

"Ms. Bai Xue, please sign here."

"Got it, thank you."

The white-haired Anati girl who took the package just said a few words briefly, and then went to the side to open the package with all her heart.

"Bai Xue is Madam Wen Yue's personal bodyguard, she doesn't talk much."

Texas noticed Orson's puzzled expression, so he explained Snow White's identity and position.

“Same as Texas.”

"I just don't like talking."

Texas responded by pulling out a pocky.
