Chapter 4106 shouldn't have any major problems.
Chapter 4106 shouldn't be a big problem...
Whether it's dangerous or not should actually be postponed.
What really troubled Ms. Nan was whether she should go and escort the boss from afar now that she knew he was coming... Loyalty was the key issue!
It would be unreasonable not to go.
I'm afraid to go, but I'm also worried that my boss will notice something.
As a Dark Soul, she knew very well that no secret could be kept from her boss. Her boss controlled life and death, and could also control her thoughts, easily reading all her memories, and could make her do whatever she wanted... Of course, she would be willing, without any resistance.
It's just that although she disdains it, the boss never does and never uses these "privileges" voluntarily.
Whether it's usable or not is one thing, the key is that the boss really has these "privileges," and she ultimately respects and fears them.
—The [Wild] Prince has misled me!
We met this "little cutie" back in the Book of Gaia!
Or should we remain still and wait for the right moment to act?
It shouldn't be a big problem... right?
Xie Nan casually picked up an antique fountain pen from the desk.
This was once the home of Utena. Everything here carries the atmosphere of Utena's life and her memories...
A faint purple light flowed from Miss Nan's palm, and the antique fountain pen came to life.
There's nothing more straightforward than understanding the things a person has used to truly understand them.
……
Raphael was also learning about his mother's past, also through the furnishings of her former residence.
She tried her best to feel the preserved traces of life here, and listened to the cold, emotionless narration of "September".
There was a picture frame next to the bed in the bedroom.
Raphael easily recognized one of them as his mother... and the other was naturally Princess Lucia, whom he had just met.
They are twins after all, and they are indeed similar.
However, it seems that in order to distinguish them, [Otina] has medium-short hair, while Princess Lucia has always had long hair.
The older sister hugged her younger sister, but time did not hold them both.
Little Raphael was lost in thought. After a while, she turned to look at September beside her and murmured, "September, can I trust her?"
[September] After a long silence, she said, "I cannot judge at the moment, but Her Highness [Otina] once said that Princess Lucia is the person she trusts most and would not betray her."
Raphael remained silent. This emotion had not crossed the river of time to strike her heart. She only felt as if something was veiled over her. Her heart fluttered, but it didn't feel real. Her chest felt tight and suffocated. She felt uncomfortable... but not unwell.
"Will you stay with me all the time in September...?"
[September] She glanced at the photo frame by the bed and took the initiative to step forward and gently hug Raphael.
"I will stay with you until I truly die."
"...You're such a killjoy."
"I am stating the facts."

……
A boutique located in the sunken shops of a building in the commercial area of District 1, Marindo.
Young Master Arthur cautiously observed him.
It took him some time to discover the secret communication code for the Alliance headquarters hidden in the shop... Although it was called a boutique, it sold all sorts of strange and unusual trinkets, and they came from other Void sides besides the [Science Side].
Business here is so-so, but it's not like there are no customers coming in.
After Arthur entered, he wandered around for a while before pretending to be serious and saying, "The things here are too ordinary. Is there anything more interesting?"
"Yes, sir, we have some fine items inside. Please follow me."
[Arthur] followed the shop assistant inside without making a sound... and soon saw a man named Momojiro.
Upon seeing Momojiro, Arthur was momentarily stunned, not because he was a stranger, but because he was all too familiar with him!
He was originally a member of the Armand Thieves, specializing in the scientific aspect, and had already dealt with this "merchant" from the Alliance headquarters more than once.
"How could it be you, Mr. Momojiro?"
“So it is, Master Arthur…” Momojiro’s eyes did not show much surprise. He sat quite calmly, slowly turning a ring on his hand. “It seems that Lord Armand has encountered some problems, hasn’t he?”
Arthur was slightly startled, but he forced himself to sit down and said calmly, "My father sent me."
To prevent panic within the pirate crew, he had already issued a gag order. Currently, only the veteran pirates on that one pirate ship in the entire Armand pirate crew know about Armand's situation.
[Arthur] He didn't know if this could be kept secret, or if the old pirates had secretly communicated with his brothers... but at least for now, those ambitious brothers hadn't made a move.
So, since it was himself who came, and not that old ghost, the other party guessed it instantly?
The secrecy surrounding this operation seems to far exceed my expectations...
"May I ask the reason?" Momojiro asked calmly.
Arthur felt conflicted, like a gambler about to bet his entire fortune at the gambling table.
The risk of impersonation is too great. If it is a joint operation of the Nine Pirate Kings, and his recklessness ruins the plan, let alone the fact that he is just a child of Armand, even Armand himself cannot withstand the wrath of the other Pirate Kings.
He gritted his teeth, determined to go all out, "Mr. Momojiro, to be honest, my father is indeed in some trouble..."
……
"I see……"
After a moment, Momojiro nodded thoughtfully. He had grasped the cause and effect of Arthur's appearance, but the truth remained to be verified.
"Mr. Momojiro, I deduce that you must be working on something big." [Arthur] made no attempt to hide the ambition in his eyes. "I want to participate in this in place of my father, and I will definitely not hold you back. I have been working on the [Science Side] all along, and I am familiar with all the shipping lanes here. I have the ability to help you."
Momojiro asked, "Young Master Arthur, are you able to completely control Lord Armand's men?"
Arthur did not hesitate. Any hesitation at this moment would mean losing this job. "I dare not say anything else, but I can definitely handle the men Father brought this time... They all thought that Father really only told me the details of this operation."
"I understand." Momojiro nodded and said calmly, "Young Master Arthur, you should go back now. I will have someone inform you if there is any new information."
"Mr. Momojiro, could you tell me about this operation..."
“Young Master Arthur, please return first.” Momojiro raised his hand. “For now, you only need to play your new role well, keep the people around you in check, and it’s best not to go out.”
“…I understand.” [Arthur] nodded, thought for a moment and said, “But I don’t know how long I can keep this from my father’s men. They’ve already started to suspect.”
Momojiro said calmly, "Isn't this the time for you to demonstrate your abilities, Master Arthur?"
……
[Arthur] received no promises, nor did he learn anything about the operation. He bumped into the shop next door, but dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and left the boutique with a heavy heart.
In the meeting room where the secret conversation had just taken place, another door slowly opened, and a person walked out.
Momojiro quickly stood up, stood respectfully to the side, and bowed his head, "Your Majesty."
Zhang Bolu sat silently, having already secretly entered [Marindo] without telling anyone—including [Xiang Feihu].
“No wonder we couldn’t get in touch with that old codger [Armand]. I never expected he would be taken care of by a terrifyingly powerful passing expert…” Only then did a strange look appear on Zhang Bolu’s face.
He was well aware of Armand's strength; the old man's hidden strength was not much different from his own—before the Dragon Sparrow Breaking Formation Song was sublimated.
How strong must that random, powerful figure who easily defeated Armand be?
“My lord, now that Lord Armand is absent, what about our plans…” Momojiro began to probe.
The probing was due to concerns about the plan.
The operation was to take place in Marindo, so an inside man was needed to meticulously plan everything. Momojiro was that inside man, which is why he knew the details of the operation.
However, Momojiro never signed the "Holy Contract".
Using the Holy Covenant on the Nine Pirate Kings is certainly worthwhile... but Zhang Bolu is a little reluctant to use it on Momojiro.
That thing has such strong binding force that it can't be found anywhere else. Once you use one, there's one less left, and the fewer there are, the more precious it becomes.
There are many ways to completely control a person, and Momojiro has long been completely loyal to him.
"Let's stabilize the situation first," Zhang Bolu said after thinking for a moment. "To be on the safe side, it would be best to get rid of Armand's people as soon as possible. However, after preparing for so long, losing the people Armand brought means losing a crucial step."
Momojiro thought for a moment: "Perhaps we can have Arthur bring Lord Armand here in person so you can see the situation."
Armand's consciousness is locked in place and he cannot wake up. Others may not be able to help him, but the King might be able to... As long as Armand wakes up, the plan will be fine, and things will proceed as planned.
Zhang Bolu's gaze flickered with uncertainty. He suddenly chuckled softly, "Why must we make [Armand] wake up?"
Momojiro was taken aback. Compared to the unyielding "Pirate King"... that young master "Arthur" was clearly a cunning fool, easier to control, wasn't he?
Furthermore, by controlling Arthur, one can better control the pirate forces under Armand's command...
My perspective is still too narrow!
Zhang Bolu said calmly, "Since he wants to inherit the legacy of [Armand] so much, then let him perform well."
"What the king means is..."
"Make some adjustments," Zhang Bolu said calmly. "Give him the most dangerous one."
Wonderful!
The most dangerous part is that although the Pirate Kings have to obey orders because they have signed the Holy Covenant, if they actually take action, you can't really say whether they will put in the effort or not. People will definitely try to save themselves first.
If someone holds someone back, the operation will not be thorough.
Therefore, Zhang Bolu originally intended for one of his captains to carry out this task, but now this filial son, Arthur, has appeared!
He certainly had no idea how dangerous it was...
Therefore, in order to perform well, he would definitely be willing to push forward...
"Don't rush things, let him cool off for a few days." Zhang Bolu smiled slightly. "The more uneasy he is, the more fiercely he will charge forward."
Momojiro nodded.
He hesitated for a moment.
“My lord, there is something else.” Momojiro carefully chose his words. “Regarding Lord [Shohiko]… I mean, regarding that Captain [Raku]…”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bolu immediately felt a headache coming on.
He would definitely keep a close eye on all the movements of the participants... Everything was fine until these past few days, when the name [Levi Titus] started appearing in the imperial nobility circles, attracting a great deal of attention.
—How did that guy get involved with Princess Anle?
This news shocked Zhang Bolu for several days. He really couldn't understand it... If Captain Luo hadn't signed the Holy Contract in front of him, he would have thought he had been betrayed!
I have tried my best to place Captain Luo in the safest position, so that he can feel involved but not be in danger.
For the young master of a wealthy family who came out to experience life, this is more than enough, right?
...Even [Xiang Feihu] was sent over, okay?
This is a way of befriending him; he's clearly attracted to the mystery surrounding Captain Luo, and that Miss Long is truly formidable...
"Don't make a fuss yet," Zhang Bolu said thoughtfully. "With the [Holy Covenant] binding us, there shouldn't be any major problems... In the next couple of days, go and meet with Li Huamei yourself, and be careful..."
“There’s an exhibition coming up…” Momojiro thought for a moment and said, “That’s perfect.”
The exhibition will only last for a day or two.
……
……
On the day of the exhibition.
Mr. Luo left home with ease and arrived at the scene early. He hadn't actually seen the setup of the exhibition booth yet.
"You and Hua Mei did all of this?"
Luo Qiu smiled and looked at Long Xiruo.
The true dragon of Shenzhou doesn't look like the type to do this kind of delicate work.
Upon hearing this, Li Huamei replied without hesitation, "The balloons used for decoration here were all made by Xi Ruo herself."
There are so many balloons; when arranged, it looks like a dream castle.
Perhaps fearing that Captain Luo wouldn't believe her, Li Huamei pointed to a cardboard box in the corner, "Look, there's a whole bunch of broken air pumps. I don't know how Xi Ruo managed to pump them."
The calm buffs that Shenzhou's True Dragon had stacked on herself almost automatically collapsed. She gave a cold snort and said sarcastically, "You busy person, how come you actually came?"
She actually knew the reason for participating in the exhibition, but she was indeed curious about why Boss Luo would agree to participate.
Boss Luo winked at Long Xiruo, "I'm a businessman, what's wrong with me participating in the exhibition? Actually, it's quite interesting."
Long Xiruo couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Boss Luo beckoned with his finger, and a broken metal air pump slowly flew out from a cardboard box in the corner.
The true dragon of Shenzhou's expression changed slightly.
Boss Luo looked at the metal air pump and saw that it had some signs of melting from the high temperature, and even some fingerprints. How much force must have been used?
Long Xiruo's ears immediately burned, and she reached out and snatched the air pump away. "Annoying!"
The maid glanced at Long Xiruo with a faint, ambiguous smile.
She said softly, "Master, would you like to take a look at other products?"
“That’s fine too.” Boss Luo nodded.
This should be the most serious and formal business activity he has participated in since becoming a businessman.
