Rhode Island Park Project

Aledae raised her hand helplessly and supported her forehead.

To be honest, she felt like she was really unable to hold on any longer. This man was too aggressive.

The other party does not confine the relationship between men and women to emotions at all. Relatives, friends, responsibilities, wishes, interests...all factors that can influence a person can become weapons in the hands of this man to step by step cross the defense line in people's hearts.

As long as she finds it difficult to refuse the other party's behavior that is not too extreme, this guy will never give in. He can always get what he wants, and he always steps on her bottom line, and is constantly pushing her bottom line at an alarming speed.

Even now.

She felt that the last line of defense in her heart was crumbling.

The King she supported was already in this state. It felt like there was no hope for her to save the situation on her own. Given Luo Hang's status in front of Vina, she probably wouldn't have much room to resist if he really did anything to her in the future. She might as well just give up on herself...

What the hell Victoria will become in the future has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I am just a down-and-out nobleman whose family has fallen on hard times and I am left with only myself and an old butler.

While muttering to herself, Aledae, who had less and less motivation to resist, also lifted her hair and took two steps forward to stand in front of Luo Hang.

Looking at the smiling face of the man in front of her, she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, although she is a strong woman in her career, she doesn't have time to talk about feelings with men. This is the first time she has taken the initiative to kiss a man!

However, even though she felt a little nervous, Aledae was very proactive and made a decision the next moment, leaning forward.

"—"

Under the gaze of Vina and Dagda, Aledae's body clearly shook at first, then moved as if struggling, then stiffened again, and then... there was no movement.

Vina glanced at the time silently.

6 minutes 32 seconds.

It no longer mattered whether this was Aledae's original idea or not. After finally leaving Aledae, who was panting with blushing cheeks, Luo Hang, with a satisfied expression, had obviously tasted the flavor of their white-haired strong woman with an impressive cleavage.

"Well, see you later~"

Taking a deep breath, Aleda looked at the smiling Luo Hang in front of her, turned around and ran without saying a word.

"oops……"

……

Driving away from the hotel and driving smoothly on the busy street, Aledae, leaning on the back of the seat, gradually relaxed her shoulders, let out a long breath, and felt her rapid heartbeat.

Before she had time to think about it, she suddenly received a special call.

Surprised for a moment, she answered the call. A screen with a video image popped up from the side. She glanced at the woman with a gentle smile on the screen, then took the initiative to greet her while looking at the road and driving:

"Minister Golding, it's strange that you're calling me... Could it be that the Ministry of Education needs our help?"

"This call is not official business, Miss Allarda. I was simply told that you are struggling with some issues that may align with our own goals, so I was recommended to come and talk to you."

"..."

Aledae frowned.

Golding's words left her with too many questions to answer, but for now, the most important one was obviously -

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see an exceptionally bright and attractive curve at the corner of Golding's lips on the screen.

"This is just a suggestion. Miss Aleda, don't be too nervous. Just listen to me and let me explain it to you slowly.

First of all, as we all know, to solve a problem, we can choose a tough external approach or a soft internal approach.

When dealing with a person, you can choose to use force to force the other person to surrender, or you can use reason and emotion to influence the other person.

When dealing with a group, you can choose to conquer them by force, or you can choose to enter their ranks and force them to change.”

Golding paused, looking at Aledae with a sincere and serious look:

"Miss Aleda, if you are worried about how to treat the doctor, then I would like to introduce to you the plan that I and other like-minded partners have been carrying out, as well as... our organization."

……

In Luo Hang's car.

After saying goodbye to Aledae, he did not continue to hang out with the members of the Glasgow gang, but instead prepared to handle his own work.

After these days of development, the Fourth Tara City has gradually become bustling.

Luo Hang specially arranged for some of the Tara residents who arrived first to return to their original areas by aircraft to carry out propaganda and share their experiences with the Tara people who were still staying in the local area to observe the situation. The Tara people who had recently migrated here have also gradually shown a rapid growth momentum.

Especially in Scarlan County, which was the first city he went to when he went to Wellington Territory to find reeds, almost half of the infected people who were originally in quarantine had been moved to Rhodes Island.

According to local residents, after Luo Hang and Wei Cao left, even though the Earl's fair policy towards the infected did not change and he did not secretly create obstacles for them, they were simply unable to integrate into the life of the entire city.

Even though policies have changed, people still look at them as if they were the plague, and the police and troops do not come to isolate them, but the local residents' malice and violence towards them are growing, and many vicious incidents have broken out, and the police are unable to help even if they want to.

At this time, news from Rhodes Island arrived. Thinking back to Luo Hang's frank words and deeds, and his unconcerned help in securing local housing policies for them—

Got it!

Chapter 424: The Duke of Windermere, always trustworthy!

According to his original plan, he was going to find Amiya to confirm the development status of the fourth district. However, when he was halfway there, he received an unexpected emergency message.

After speeding all the way in the car, he finally saw Amiya, but it was at the tactical command center in Rhodes Island. Kal'tsit was also there, and the communication screen showed old Adams' grumpy face. The entire command center was busy.

"Has the news been confirmed?"

Luo Hang asked directly as he walked into the command center door, striding towards the crowd.

"It has been confirmed by multiple parties through the Duke of Windermere and Shi Huaiya,"

Kel'tsit looked at him. "Three of Duke Caister's main fleets, including six high-speed battleships, over 6 escort warships, and a large number of functional and logistical vessels, are heading towards Shi Huaiya Territory."

"That Caister is crazy! The Sarkaz are watching, Windermere and Wellington are watching too, and she actually dares to use her entire family fortune to cause trouble for us! Isn't she afraid that others will take advantage of this opportunity to destroy her hometown?!"

On the screen, old Adams, who had recovered from his previous injury, roared at the top of his lungs.

Such a large fleet is definitely the Duke of Caister's most powerful force, and it is estimated that the support of the Duke who supports her must also be taken into account.

The Duke of Windermere's fleet is watching closely from behind. Although the Duke of Wellington is far away, the main fleet is so large that once it all gathers in the territory of Shihuaiya outside the territory, even if the Duke of Wellington's fleet sets out from his own home, the Duke of Caster's main fleet will have no time to rush back.

What's more, Londinium, occupied by the Sarkaz, is located between the two grand duchies facing each other in the north and south, and is closer to the Castel Territory than the Duke of Wellington!

"That woman must have been so pissed off by you before that she actually did something so reckless!"

Old Adams, still furious, pounded the table.

Luo Hang shook his head:

"Mobilizing such a large fleet is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. Duke Caister had definitely started planning this before we took action.

It seems that the action against the Londinium Self-Defense Force is largely a smokescreen."

"Could it be that the news that Duke Caister was seriously ill and hospitalized was also false?"

Amiya said with a worried look on her face.

"That's not the case. The Colombian split is a real loss for the Duke of Caister. Moreover, with such a foolish defeat, the Duke of Caister is already at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion and internally unstable. His support within the territory is probably even worse. No ruler would be willing to pay such a price."

Luo Hang analyzed very calmly.

"PhD!"

As he was speaking, Dai Feien's figure appeared on the communication screen.

The short, silver-haired girl's face was filled with seriousness and determination:

"Please rest assured, Mom and I will definitely come to support you! We will definitely not let Duke Caister act recklessly!"

"As for support, there's no need. After all, the entire Territory of Caister lies between the Territory of Windermere and the Territory of Shihuaiya. The most powerful help you can provide is to put enough pressure on Duke Caister from the rear."

Luo Hang paused, "But, this may not be easy, right?"

"..."

Daphne on the screen bit his lip.

At such an important moment, the person communicating with Luo Hang was not the Duke of Windermere himself, but Daphne. Although it could be explained that Daphne was more familiar with Rhodes Island, Luo Hang still keenly noticed the problem.

"Duke Caister still has a main fleet stationed on the border. If a real clash of armies were to occur... the interests of many would be implicated."

Dai Feien's voice was a little suppressed.

Luo Hang was very calm: "Moreover, if a fleet does not engage in direct battle with Windermere's main force, but instead uses its own small size advantage to rely on the depth of its territory to fight guerrilla warfare with Windermere's fleet, the cost of exhaustion to the end will probably be even more unacceptable.

After all, Windermere can't possibly be as reckless as Caster and throw everything they have at the table. They'll probably just expand the two main fleets on the border, right?"

"..."

Dai Feien kept biting his lips and couldn't speak.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the innocent girl, Luo Hang sighed in his heart.

He didn't mean to blame Dai Feien, but sometimes the truth was really not so easy to accept. When he was about to say a few words to comfort the girl, a sharp and clear voice came first.

"It seems I've been underestimated too."

Dai Feien turned his head suddenly and looked outside the screen, a look of surprise on his face:

"Mother?!"

The Duke of Windermere, wearing a military coat and with a sharp intention that could cut anyone, walked steadily to his daughter's side and raised his lips at Luo Hang.

"Secretly bullying my daughter while I'm away is not something worthy of praise, Mr. Luo Hang."

The Duke of Windermere, who is tall and straight, looks very handsome in his military uniform. When he stands in front of the screen, he is much more intimidating than the petite Delphine.

"I admit I said something wrong. How about I promise to make amends next time I see Daphne?"

He raised an eyebrow at the Duke of Windermere knowingly. "Your Excellency the Duke seems to have returned much sooner than expected. Has your trouble been resolved?"

"Ah--"

Unlike his usual easygoing image in front of his daughter and allies, the Duke of Windermere chuckled and suddenly displayed an astonishing aura and arrogance, making many people understand in an instant... what Victoria's sharp edge was.

"It's just something that can be solved with one sword, should it take me so long?"

……

In a conference room as grand as a palace, a group of well-dressed upper-class people gradually came to their senses when they saw a hideous crack that spanned the entire conference hall, splitting the entire building and the long conference table in two as if splitting the earth, allowing the door and the rear wall to be transparent and filter with sunlight.

"Madman..."

"Is that Windermere crazy too?!"

The cold wind of late autumn rushed into the clothes and passed through the backs covered with cold sweat, making everyone feel a chill.

That /*Victoria's elegant swear*/ Windermere, they had so many dignitaries from all sides waiting for her to come to the meeting, but as soon as that guy arrived, he stood at the door and slashed down with a sword, leaving behind a sentence "The army will be dispatched immediately, come to me if you have any problems", and then left like that!

gone! !

It's more than just disrespectful! With so many important people, if any of them got hurt, it would be a major incident!!

Madmen! These grand dukes are all madmen!

Chapter 425: Aburana: Asking for help comes with free draining service~

Despite their scolding, the upper class people in Windermere County really had no way to deal with the Duke's crude and rude behavior.

The Duke of Windermere directly announced the slogan "Support His Majesty the King", which immediately won the support of the recent wave of public opinion. No one sitting in this conference hall would want to confront this trend head-on.

Some people have particularly sinister looks in their eyes.

"The support of this movement is Windermere's greatest source of recent pride. Our Lord Duke is no fool. He knows how to maintain his correctness and support at all costs at such a time."

"Humph, but the price she paid has to be paid by us all."

"Oh, I hope our Lord Duke can achieve victory in this battle. Otherwise... the mire of war is a poison that has destroyed the glorious images of countless people."

……

"...Of course, they're not shy about their malice and speculations towards me, but I also never care about these incompetent barks that can't change any facts and can only be spoken behind others' backs."

At the Rhodes Island command center, the imposing Duke of Windermere had just completed a brief negotiation on cooperation with Luo Hang, and also discussed the situation in his own territory.

The Duke of Windermere still had his elbow resting on the sword at his waist, and his fierce aura made people imagine the scene when the Duke appeared in the conference hall.

"I'm certainly not a qualified politician, but I've never thought of becoming a complete politician. I'm just an ally who works well with me. If my daughter's friend is in trouble, then I have to help. My philosophy is that simple."

It sounds simple, but the Duke of Windermere, who spoke these words with a breath as sharp as the breeze, attracted special attention. Delphine next to him looked at his mother with excitement and pride.
