About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

"So we'll just... uh, Orson?"

Hei noticed that Orson suddenly seemed to be in a state of time suspension, and stood there motionless.

"Orson?"

"Highest... 10cm..."

Orson seemed possessed, repeating the slogan on the bottom of the mechanical boots in a low voice.

"Well, you mentioned getting close to nature—"

“Huh!? I, I, I know…!”

If there was no one around, Orson would definitely sell everything he had to buy these boots.

However, Hei was right next to him, and he had just acted cool less than 3 seconds ago...

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After hesitating for a moment, Orson finally had to bear the pain and force himself to follow Hei out of the store.

Afterwards, Orson and Hei went to several other places, including the Security Bureau where they worked, the Obsidian Market which was temporarily closed due to being sealed off, and the main venue of the concert hall which had not yet opened.

After walking around half of Xiosta, Orson and Hei came to a pedestrian street. They sat on a bench by the roadside and drank the coconut juice they had just bought.

The number of people on the streets gradually increased, and it was so deserted compared to the previous "seaside" scene that it was hard to believe it was the same city.

These people, walking in a hurry with different expressions and clothes, are like red blood cells, coming and going in the blood vessels called "streets", injecting vibrant vitality into Xiosta.

"This city will probably disappear bit by bit in the future...but I will carefully record this moment in my mind."

Hei looked at a corner of the street in the city he was guarding and spoke softly.

"Yes, eternal things are very rare, so we must remember those precious moments."

Orson agreed with a smile, but after the smile disappeared, Orson felt a little empty again.

Memory is important, but the memory that is most important to me... is still buried in the dust today.

"Drip drip!"

The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Orson's thoughts.

"Hello? Kal'tsit, are you awake? Well, thank you. I'll make some sandwiches with different flavors next time. What about me? I'm with Miss Hei. Our previous date-"

"You just did that to me... to me last night, and now you're telling me you went out on a date with that guy so early in the morning!?"

Kal'tsit's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Um, that's not it...it's the previous contract—"

"Contract! Just wait for me, I'll be at your doorstep soon...!"

"Wow wow wow..."

Although Orson still wanted to explain something, Kal'tsit on the opposite side seemed to have entered the destruction mode and issued a declaration of pursuit.

"Dr. Kelsey also has this side."

Hei on the side said thoughtfully, and then thought of something.

"Since you, Orson, are being hunted, I, your bodyguard, will protect you."

"Eh? Wait a minute—Wow!"

Before Orson could react, Hei suddenly stood up, grabbed Orson's arm, and then ran on the streets of Xiosta.

Although he wanted to stop Hei, when Orson saw the pure, gem-like smile on the face of the film girl, he gave up the idea and let himself run with Hei.

——But, I’ll probably be licked to death by M3 later…

Orson smiled with tears streaming down his face.

Mobile city-state, Chernobyl——

This place used to be the territory of the old aristocracy, but later due to the development of the "Stone Coffin", it gradually became a city-state of the emerging aristocracy.

Later, a war broke out in this town, which alarmed the Third Army. The emerging forces led by the "Rostov family (Zaolu)" fought against the old aristocratic party led by the Grand Duke of Baikal.

The secret entanglement between the two forces lasted for a long time, but in the end it was the emerging aristocratic forces that successfully defended their city-state.

When the battle shifted from the "darkness" to the front stage, it was a force called the [Integration Movement] that joined the emerging aristocratic forces and successfully reversed the situation that was almost inevitable.

Today, the city-state of Chernobog is developing in an orderly manner as "a possibility" of the new generation of Ursus. The [Integration Movement], which had not yet officially become a compliant company, is now located in the transportation hub town around Chernobog and has successfully become an emerging "security company."

Since it is a company, it needs to recruit people. Since the Integration Movement is still a "company" in name, it naturally cannot use the army method to screen people.

Instead, the Integration Movement will use their own unique methods to conduct assessments and selections.

"Then everyone, please be quiet for a moment—"

In a room in a hub town near Che City, which also serves as the headquarters of the Integration Movement, a young man stood at the front of the podium and waved for silence. He faced about 20 people with completely different expressions and faces, but all of them exuded an aura of not being easy to mess with.

"What's going on with this guy?"

"Child? Why is he in the Reunion Movement?"

"Damn it! Wasn't it said that this was just a formal orientation meeting? Are we supposed to be babysitters?"

"Hey! If you get lost, remember to go out and look for the army!"

These people who wanted to join the "Integration Movement" didn't seem to care much about the existence of the young man in front of them. They either mocked or complained. The atmosphere in the room not only did not quiet down, but became even more noisy.

"Aha……"

The young man standing on the podium—Orson—sighed after seeing this situation.

He had just returned from Xiosta a few days ago, carrying with him a bunch of business contracts signed with Mayor Hermann, as well as a reliable female guard from the Filin tribe named 'Hei'.

Because of Hei's presence, Orson was surrounded by several girls from the Reunion Movement and was brought to court. Although everyone knew that Orson had the ability to "pick up girls", even Alina felt a little nervous when she saw that he had picked up girls all the way.

It can be said that the first day after Orsen returned was spent being surrounded and attacked by several girls in turn - then counter-killed - and finally counter-killed by Xuetu.

It is worth mentioning that when Orson was sleeping at night, the black snake suddenly appeared. This guy shouted, "How dare you treat my daughter Tallulah like that during the day?" and pulled Orson into the spiritual realm to prepare for "revenge."

Then it entered the classic "Wait, rests are illegal!?" and "Gu, kill me..." stages.

Orson even suspected that this old black snake came here on purpose to give it away for free...

In short, after a period of commotion, Hei successfully joined the Reunion Movement. Because some new "recruits" who wanted to join the Reunion Movement were recruited today, Orson, who happened to be free, served as the "receptionist".

Although Alina had hinted to Orson hesitantly that he "might not be able to hold those people" before Orson decided to do this, Orson still said confidently that since Alina can do it, he must work hard too!

Orson had originally thought that Alina's ability to hold the scene was due to her gentle, intellectual sensibility. But after arriving and observing the commotion before him, Orson vaguely realized that Alina's ability to calm the crowd wasn't due to her intellectual gentleness, but rather to that silver hand with an 800 million horsepower magnetic field.

"Um...everyone, calm down. I'm not someone who's lost. I'm the navigator who's in charge of meeting you and introducing you to the current state of the Reunion Movement. Just call me Orson."

"Who are you sending it to?"

"I'm laughing. Is this all the Reunion Movement is? No way, right?"

Orson stretched out his hand to try to maintain the status quo of these people, but the effect was still not very good.

Most of the people in front of him had heard from various sources about the increasingly famous name of the Integration Movement and the stable and reliable treatment, so they came here because of its reputation. Most of them were here simply for the reward and fame.

The integrated movement that has grown into a company can no longer be like its initial aspirations, where everyone's goal is to "save the world and change all injustices." People who are paid to do the work are certainly needed, and as long as they have sufficient ability, they can be considered.

These people all think they are somewhat confident in their abilities, but since most of them are not from Qie City, it is not uncommon for a situation like this where all of them combined do not know "Orson".

Orson was used to it, but after every reception, he would drink spinach juice mixed with milk while running to the gym to punch sandbags.

"Ahem... I believe you were all once very powerful, elite beings, but we're a security company, which means you have to be even more elite than the elite. As we all know, killing someone only requires 1% of your strength, but protecting someone requires at least ten times that."

"Therefore, the Reunion Movement will only accept the strongest of the strongest. We will then conduct approximately five days of training. Perhaps some of you will fall behind during the training, but we understand that."

Orson told everyone what he had said many times.

Of course, this sentence is still a bit ambiguous. The "strictness" of the Reunion Movement is basically only set for those "mercenaries" who are motivated by money and fame. As for those who want to join the Reunion Movement because of their dreams and ideals, such a difficult threshold will not be set up right from the start.

It’s probably like the difference between social recruitment and campus recruitment.

"Falling behind? Do you know what you are talking about, hahaha!"

"Interesting, does this guy really think he's some kind of character?"

"Oh my god, this is so scary, what should I do—Ahhh!"

Not surprisingly, these former mercenaries/soldiers/people with various strange professions who gathered here for social recruitment were still laughing.

however……

"Boom-thump-thump-"

Suddenly, a heavy and steady sound like the pulse of the earth came from the corridor outside the room. The sound stopped outside the room. Then, within a few seconds, a huge creature with a black cloak, a silver-white "deer head", and an unclear face stopped at the main door of the room.

"That, that's——"

"Patriots...are they patriots!?"

"The rumors are true... The Patriots joined the Reunion or something... Damn, I always thought it was just a publicity stunt!"

After seeing the arrival of the patriots, the guys who were making a fuss before suddenly became silent in the originally noisy room, and everyone just kept thinking about the scene before them.

As expected of the legendary war machine, even from such a distance, I'm already suffocating with this terrifying feeling that makes me dare not breathe. I'm afraid no one will... Eh heh heh!?

"Senior Patriot?"

One of the newcomers was sighing in his heart that no one would dare to approach the Patriot, but the next second, Orson came over calmly.

"—Do you need help?"

The Patriot glanced at the 20 or so people in the room, and everyone who was stared at by those scarlet eyes broke out in a cold sweat as if their blood was flowing backwards.

"No need, Patriot-senpai. This isn't the first time this has happened... and you still have shield guard training."

"Um"

The Patriot nodded, then looked around slightly. After confirming that there was no one else in the corridor, he gently moved the deer head closer to Orson.

"Orson, have you found that...how to solve Yelena's physique?"

"Ah this..."

This unexpected question made Orson ruffle his hair.

"When people get older, sometimes they just want to hug their grandchildren—"

"If you keep talking like that, your image will be ruined, Patriot-senpai...! Anyway, I'll try my best to find a solution!"

Orson quickly sent away the patriot who had already started studying how to take care of the child, and then returned to the podium.

"Ahem, let's continue. After all, the first thing to do when you arrive at the Reunion Movement is to realize your own shortcomings."

After the patriot left, the room, which had been so quiet before, gradually returned to its messy state.

"Anyone want to try and fight me?"

Orson didn't care and continued talking. After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into extremely obvious anger.

In their eyes, this little guy, who posed no threat at all and looked like a lost creature, actually asked, "Do you want to fight?" This was truly...

"You're looking for trouble on purpose, aren't you?"

"You want to die!"

"You hide behind the Patriots and think you can fight against God?"

"Okay, then I'll help you!"

Boom! !

A table was smashed to pieces by a punch from a sturdy man sitting in the back row. The man stood up and walked towards Orson without hesitation.

"Wow... looks so fierce."

Orson, who had just made some big promises, frowned and complained in a low voice when he saw the strong man coming over.

"If I kill you, can I end this boring meeting and go straight to work and get paid?"

The burly man clenched his fists and asked Orson with a laugh.
