"Yuki, that child only has eyes for research. When she arrives at Rhodes Island, little Kanna, you must take good care of her and make sure she isn't bullied..."
After watching Yuki leave, Fumizuki / Wen Yue spoke.
"Absolutely! Sister Yuki is a good person, and Grandma always said good people should live to a ripe old age. Besides, everyone at Rhodes Island is super, super loving; how could they possibly bully such a cute girl like Sister Yuki... Hmm, that's the smell of egg tarts! Sister, I want egg tarts!"
"No problem, fill 'em up!"
Perhaps misled by Kanna's smiling face, Fumizuki / Wen Yue temporarily forgot her empty wallet. Fortunately, they encountered a rich little tiger, and after a conversation, learned that this was her family's business, successfully getting a free meal.
The group sat by the tea table. It was clear that Swire and Fumizuki / Wen Yue were quite familiar with each other, exchanging views on Lungmen's economy and high-end markets. Kanna, meanwhile, was completely bewildered by the conversation, but fortunately, desserts were constantly being served, allowing her enough patience to sit there.
However, Swire clearly noticed something was amiss, mainly because the little one next to her was eating at an astonishing speed. A dessert would be served and devoured in less than two minutes. The crucial part was that after finishing, she would ask for more. Out of respect for her and Fumizuki / Wen Yue's status, the dessert shop staff didn't dare to stop, resulting in multiple plates being cleared from the table within half an hour of their conversation.
The boss at the cashier's counter in the distance watched them, sweating profusely, but he dared not speak. After all, one person at the table was the big boss, and the other was Lungmen's "First Lady." He could only urge the kitchen to speed up making new desserts to barely keep up with Kanna's pace.
For Kanna, it was usually fine to eat whatever Fumizuki / Wen Yue ate, but now that she had an opportunity to indulge in desserts by riding on someone else's prestige, how could she let it pass?
She was already blacklisted by all dessert shops—no, all food-related establishments, including the public cafeteria—at Rhodes Island.
If she ever wanted to eat her fill, these bosses would immediately complain to that old hag Kal'tsit, and she would be arrested and brought back.
It had been a long time since she had enjoyed the feeling of eating until her stomach was completely empty.
This time, she finally got another chance.
And the other party was Swire, this rich cat. This amount of spending was less than what she'd casually spend on a bag, so it wouldn't cause any dislike.
Instead, Kanna's way of eating greatly intrigued Swire.
She looked at Kanna's short legs and said,
"While people often say girls have a separate stomach for sweets, you're taking it to an extreme. Speaking of which, aren't you afraid of growing into a little chubby girl by eating like this? If you become a little chubby girl, not only will no one like you, but you'll also be laughed at!"
"Kanna isn't afraid at all! This little bit of food won't make Kanna fat…" Kanna proudly put her hands on her hips, boasting that she wouldn't get fat.
"Ha~ How is that possible? You've eaten almost a month's worth of my food… Speaking of which, don't you feel full after eating so much?" As Swire spoke, her gaze drifted to the other party's stomach, but she found it wasn't distended at all.
"Don't even mention it. This girl Kanna has eaten enough to feed a family for several months since we left, yet I haven't seen her affected in the slightest."
Fumizuki / Wen Yue thought of her bold words when they left and couldn't help but feel a wave of inner collapse… It was all Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu's fault. If he hadn't insisted on taking her to meet Rhodes Island, things wouldn't be like this now… Yes, it's Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu's problem. Today's expenses will be deducted from his allowance. When it's all deducted, then she'll give him more.
Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu, who was far away in his office discussing future issues with Kal'tsit, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He always felt like he was being watched.
He looked out the window in the distance, only thinking it was a mysterious force from Chernobog coveting Lungmen, never imagining that he was about to live a life where he couldn't even afford a pack of cigarettes.
Seeing Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu's distracted look, Kal'tsit stood up.
"Since Rhodes Island and Lungmen have reached an agreement, I will not bother Governor-General Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu any further. Rhodes Island will deal with Reunion Movement according to the contract, and we also hope Lungmen can provide sufficient assistance. After all, Chernobog not only has Reunion Movement but also other forces involved, a point on which we have already reached a consensus."
Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu tapped the pipe in his hand. "Since the contract is made, I will certainly not go back on my word. However, I do still have doubts whether Rhodes Island truly has the confidence to capture those infiltrating Reunion Movement members and ascertain their objective. Nevertheless, I will instruct the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department to cooperate with your actions."
After Kal'tsit left, a Black appeared in the conference room. He held a clearly new file and handed it to Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu.
"Misha? Instruct the Special Operations Team to contact Rhodes Island's Doctor and enter the slums together to search for this girl. Be sure to protect her."
In Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu's hand was Misha's file, which stated that her father was Sergey, Chernobog's most famous scientist and one of its most important political figures. He likely possessed information related to Chernobog or even more crucial data, and ever since Sergey's death, she had ended up in Lungmen's slums.
However, the slums were a chaotic place, and he didn't want to involve Lin Gerei to avoid information leaks causing greater panic. So, he could only arrange for Rhodes Island and the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department to act together, striving to find her as soon as possible, because he had a premonition that one of Reunion Movement's objectives for infiltrating this time was this girl.
After receiving the news, Rhodes Island immediately sent the Doctor to lead a team into the slums. At this time, Kanna was following Fumizuki / Wen Yue back to the entrance of the government hall.
"I'll arrange a car to take you back, after all, it's still a bit of a distance from Rhodes Island's Station." At the entrance, Fumizuki / Wen Yue waved her hand, and a car quickly pulled up nearby.
Kanna considered that this trip wasn't for entertainment, and being able to eat so much was already Lungmen showing her considerable face, so she was about to agree.
Just then, Kanna's little genius watch suddenly rang.
"Kanna, can you hear me?" Amiya's voice came from within.
"I can? Is something wrong?" Kanna raised her watch and asked.
"The Doctor and I received news from Lungmen to search for a girl in the slums. We found that besides our side, other forces are also looking for her. These people are likely from Reunion Movement, so we need your support."
Ever since Kanna's support significantly reduced Rhodes Island's battle losses, whenever Kanna was present, everyone was willing to take a "rechargeable automatic Kanna grenade."
