Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: The Growing Rift Between Lin Yide and Furina

The subsequent resettlement of the ship owners and crew members was fully underway under Furina's personal supervision.

A temporary resettlement department was jointly established by the West Factory, the Court of Justice, and the Spina di Rosula to be responsible for specific consultations and resettlement matters.

They presented a very detailed plan, giving the ship owners and crew members three options:

First, they could choose to accept a one-time compensation. According to the plan, the ship owners would receive 2 million Mora in compensation, while the crew members would receive 1 million Mora. This amount of compensation was quite considerable, considering that the average monthly salary of a Fontaine civil servant was less than 100,000 Mora.

Second, after the Fontaine Aquabus was completed, they could work at the Aquabus terminal. The salary of the new position would be comparable to the previous one, but the intensity of the work would be significantly reduced.

Third, the Furina Foundation planned to establish a shipping company and acquire existing ships. The original ship owners and crew members would transition into formal employees of this shipping company and continue to engage in the familiar shipping business.

When this detailed resettlement plan was announced to all ship owners and crew members, the worries in their hearts dissipated quickly, like thick fog dispelled by the sun.

Replaced by a deep sense of gratitude towards Furina.

They were very clear that Furina had endured tremendous pressure for this plan, even at the cost of breaking with her capable subordinate, Yide.

In the implementation of this plan, there was no bargaining.

Each ship owner and crew member made a wise choice based on their actual situation and needs.

The efficiency of the resettlement work was unprecedented.

In just over half a month, all the resettlement work was successfully completed.

With the smooth completion of the resettlement work, the Spina di Rosula also acted quickly.

They immediately organized manpower and machinery and began the intense construction work.

Everything was developing in a good direction, the only not-so-good thing was that the relationship between Furina and Yide gradually showed collapse.

This disharmonious change in relationship became the focus of the Steambird newspaper's reports. News of the two arguing in public frequently appeared on the front pages, arousing widespread public concern.

The people began to fear what the situation would be like if the West Factory were personally abolished by Furina one day.

Although they were in awe of the West Factory, a secret service police agency known for its ruthlessness, the existence of the West Factory undoubtedly gave them a strong sense of security.

Since the establishment of the West Factory, the security situation in Fontaine has been significantly improved, vicious criminal cases have almost disappeared, and the oppression of civilians by nobles has been effectively curbed.

When the nobles saw this news, they all celebrated.

They were just waiting for the day when Lin Yide was dismissed, and they were ready to rush up and throw this former opponent into the eighteenth level of hell, so that he would never be able to turn over.

However, what they did not expect was that the Hydro Archon Furina was being "disrespected" by Lin Yide.

"My dear Goddess, you were brave enough today to reprimand me in public."

In the study, Lin Yide slowly approached Furina with a half-smiling expression.

His actions were like a big bad wolf gradually approaching its prey, full of danger and teasing.

Furina's face was slightly flushed, and she avoided Lin Yide's gaze uneasily, "Yide, there were many people outside just now, I apologize to you now."

Lin Yide did not let her go because of this. He stretched out his big hand and gently hooked her jade-like smooth chin, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

He looked deeply into her beautiful blue eyes, "If an apology is useful, what do we need the police for?"

Furina was startled by his actions, and her voice trembled, "You…you…what do you want to do?"

He did not answer her question, but continued to approach until the distance between the two was so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

Suddenly, he opened his arms and hugged Furina tightly into his broad chest.

In the close embrace, two hearts beat faster in unison.

Lin Yide slowly lowered his head, his eyes falling on Furina's face.

Her charming and deep eyes were slightly narrowed at this time, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.

The bridge of her nose was high and smooth, like Venus in a sculpture, and the beads of sweat slightly oozing from the tip of her nose sparkled with crystal light.

Her curved, soft lips were slightly open, revealing a hint of panting, as if telling the desire in her heart.

A faint fragrance, like a spring breeze blowing through a flower bush, gently brushed Lin Yide's face.

In this intoxicating moment, he could no longer suppress the passion burning in his heart.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly against Furina's lips, kissing her deeply.

Furina slowly closed her eyes, letting herself be immersed in this wonderful moment.

She felt a burst of dizziness, as if her whole body was lifted up by clouds of happiness, floating freely in the dreamy sky.

Sweet love grew wildly in the hearts of the two.

Lin Yide stretched out his tongue and gently pried open her teeth, and then kept chasing her soft and sweet little tongue.

After a long time, Lin Yide noticed that Furina's breathing became a little rapid. He opened his eyes and saw that her small face was flushed red.

He immediately stopped kissing.

When the lips of the two separated, Furina immediately began to gasp for breath.

This idiot almost suffocated her to death!

Lin Yide couldn't help laughing as he looked at her embarrassed appearance.

Furina's breath gradually stabilized, and she slowly returned to normal.

When she saw Lin Yide laughing at her, she was furious and glared at him fiercely.

This bastard should still be sentenced to death!

Lin Yide's heart did not linger too much on Furina's glare, because his attention was attracted by the system sound in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the experience event - French kissing Furina, and obtaining 1600 experience points."

Before, he had gone to great lengths to solve the resettlement problems of those ship owners and crew members, and only obtained 1600 experience points.

And now, just a deep kiss with Furina easily earned him the same amount of experience points as before, which made him a little surprised and a little delighted.

Now, he has a total of 3700 points, only one step away from the exchange of the Vision.

Since French kissing can get so many, wouldn't doing that get even more experience points?

Lin Yide's eyes were locked on Furina, and the fiery gaze seemed to burn her.

Furina felt the heat in his eyes and ran away in a hurry.

Looking at her back, Lin Yide's mouth curled into a smug smile.

In the office of the Chief of the Marechaussee Phantom, the atmosphere was obviously much more relaxed than before.

The frown on Tywin's face also eased, and it was obvious that some recent developments had pleased him.

"Go and notify the people below to withdraw half of the manpower monitoring the West Factory's actions." Tywin calmly issued an order to one of his capable subordinates.

The subordinate immediately responded, "Yes, Chief."

Then, he quickly and decisively turned and left the office to carry out the Chief's order.

At this moment, besides Tywin, there was another mysterious figure in the office.

He stood there quietly, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.

If Lin Yide were here at this time, he would immediately recognize this person - it was the master who had fought with him in front of Count Grandet's door!

"Tywin, it seems that your good luck has come, and you may not even need me to solve this trouble of Yide." The man said jokingly.
