In front of the Count's Mansion in Black Iron City.
Feeling much relieved after delegating the task of investigating the Pirate King and Ugly Emperor to his subordinates under a valid pretext, Peeping Immortal relaxed a bit.
Now that it's daylight, he wanted to observe Amy's movents. If she didn't co out in the morning, she'd probably be practicing dancing for five hours, and he could wait for her at noon.
However, Peeping felt there was sothing off about his vision, a sense of distance that flickered in brightness and proximity. Was it the cockpit voltage being unstable? Was the screen malfunctioning?
Then, a report ca from the sentry at the Night Rose Tavern: "A nun NPC we've never seen before appeared at the tavern bar, and Vivian ca to et her in her pajamas..."
Peeping was stunned; what could make Vivian appear in such an unprecedented state?
Just then, the main gate of the Count's Mansion swung open, and Amy, dressed splendidly, erged with several bodyguards escorting her.
She ca out!
Peeping waved excitedly.
Amy was equally delighted: "Good-hearted brother, you're here again!"
Peeping quickly approached: "Yes, I'm free today. I can hang out with you."
Amy smiled: "Great, let's head to yesterday's Night Rose Tavern and find that sister Vivian."
"Alright!"
At this mont, Peeping checked the tavern's live surveillance; the nun was having breakfast at the bar. Regardless, he must get acquainted.
...
anwhile, Sela was eating and waiting for Amy, while watching Chun's live stream as he slouched in a wheelchair through the streets. Honestly, Chun had a lot of live streaming appeal, surrounded by hundreds to thousands of streaming players, each garnering tens of thousands of viewers.
Sela comnted in the chat group: "Actually, he's quite talented. If he weren't in the China District and worked for our consortium, imagine the traffic he could bring."
Gabriel snorted: "He's a national security worker in the China District; how could he serve our consortium?"
Raphael laughed: "Ah? Even this small amount of money interests Sela?"
Sela huffed: "It's not small. Want to do the math for you?"
Michael chuckled: "So trickles are better than none; otherwise, if all the people starve, it'll be awkward for us in the consortium."
Sela chuckled: "Boss, I think you're too into your role as the First Sage. People? Only cattle and horses!"
Michael sighed: "Even cattle and horses need so grass!"
Raphael, not wanting to be left out, sent a live broadcast: "Everyone, take a look. At Gem Plaza, the painter Van Gogh is here again early to sell his paintings, and this ti he's surrounded by many players from the China District."
Michael felt increasingly uneasy: "Gem City is supposed to host relatively high-end players; they wouldn't do sothing pointless, right?"
Raphael was surprised: "It feels like the overflow from the fishing players' mission two nights ago. Could it be that my Rainbow Team didn't manage to disrupt it?"
Sela laughed: "Why worry so much? Keep sending the Rainbow Team to attack, break them up!"
Raphael retorted: "What's the point of breaking them up? They'll just keep coming back, and my Rainbow Team needs missions to level up too."
Sela laughed: "Then hit them hard, make them cripples!"
Raphael coughed: "Isn't that a bit much?"
Gabriel laughed: "If they dare cause trouble in my Oak City, my Peace Elite Team would dismantle their bones."
Sela laughed: "And then just send them to the hospital, make them pay so dical fees?"
Gabriel laughed: "If they can't pay, then they owe debts!"
Raphael sighed: "Compared to you guys, I feel as kind as an angel—alright, I'll deploy the main force to encircle them so none can escape, cripple them on site, and snatch their mission too!"
Sela laughed: "Hurry, I'm bored and looking forward to the show. Oh, Gabriel, what's up with that White Rose studying at Canyon Village?"
Gabriel replied: "Today is her first class, and I'm arranging for soone to watch her."
Sela laughed: "Even if she's a spy, you cannot harm her. By the ti she finishes her studies and returns, I should have control over Black Iron City and the Southern Canyon Village; she'll be mine!"
Gabriel snorted: "Who's to say whose person she is? I've decided to give her so intense lessons to see if she's truly talented."
As they joked, cheers and whistles erupted from Sela's tavern.
Sela turned to look; it was Amy! But why was there soone new with her?
At this point, Vivian, now fully dolled up, greeted warmly: "Amy's here! Today, let introduce you to Miss Silva, who has just completed the mission to find the Empire's guard ship, and is an elder of the Broken Bottle Comrce Association..."
The patrons were instantly in an uproar: "So that's who she is!"
Peeping Immortal was instantly dumbfounded—an elder of the Broken Bottle Comrce Association? Why was a formidable figure from there mingling with an adversarial faction?
No, it's not adversarial! At the NPC level, the Broken Bottle Gang and Shangri-La Comrce Association actually have normal relations; it's just that the player PVP disruptions happen frequently. Moreover, the main players of the Broken Bottle Gang have left the city, leaving ample room for maneuver. Even if they can't be pulled over, they can still be used!
Peeping Immortal took the initiative to greet Vivian: "Miss Vivian, good morning."
Vivian began introducing: "Miss Silva, this is the vice president of the Shangri-La Comrce Association, a regular here, and a very talented newcor..."
Sela laughed: "I'm Silva, the Empire's Wandering Nun, looking to achieve great things in the new world. Vice President, are you interested in collaborating with ?"
Introductions by Vivian made things easy! Peeping smiled: "Of course, it would be an honor!"
Sela smiled even more, thinking it was a stroke of luck that the main forces of the Broken Bottle Gang had left the city, leaving 50 new recruits behind. Now there's a group of Divine Team's hidden professionals to handle too?
Speaking of which, there's also Tata War God! Is he still mining in the jungle? Did he complete the task to find 100 dogs assigned to him earlier, or did he abandon it? If he dares abandon it, I'll be very angry and won't stop at anything to trouble them! If he hasn't abandoned it, let him join to serve. Controlling Black Iron City starts by controlling three major player groups…
Amy laughed happily: "That's great! I had the mansion organize so lists last night. It's inconvenient for to et them while accompanied by bodyguards, but I'm scared without bodyguards. Now with Sister Silva joining, it's perfect. Should we start visiting the people on these lists?"
Lists? Silva was a bit surprised but welcod the ease: "Alright, let's set off!"
Peeping was excited—it was a hassle that the noble network established before the public test was disrupted, but now it's an opportunity to update it and re-enter high society.
Just then, Raphael called out in the chat group: "Rainbow Team assembled, let the show begin!"
Sela laughed: "Rember, no one is allowed to escape, cripple them on the spot!"
"Rest assured, we'll draw a red line on the periphery imdiately; if they dare break through, they'll be red-nad, and we'll see them in jail..."
