"My stuff?"
“These are the guys.” Hoshiguma, with her long legs, walked back and forth as she spoke, pulling out a bulky tactical shoulder bag from the cubicle connected to the interrogation room, along with a polygonal hammer that looked small in her hands but was actually a genuine killing weapon.
The gray-black metal hammerhead has sharp spikes protruding from it, wrapped with a connected black chain, and the gaps are faintly visible and stained with blood.
When it was placed on the table along with the tactical pack, Yun Yi could clearly smell an unmistakable rusty odor.
Swire's fingertips brushed against two transparent objects, both stained with blood. She frowned and looked up at the relaxed Hoshiguma: "...They are indeed my chain hammer and bag. Where did you get them?"
"On my way to find you, a group of people ran into the action team. The leader was an acquaintance who wanted my help." Hoshiguma said with a smile, "Of course I helped him. He's waiting for his boss in another interrogation room now."
"Could this person be Li Boli from the Azure Dragon Society, who's parading around with a hundred or so people and my stuff?" Swire felt that it was hard to explain.
The Azure Dragon Society is the gang that previously attempted to attack her, but relied on her command to kill the enemy and Yun Yi to cut down the cannonball and escape.
Even after she and Yun Yi cleared away the source of danger, she still managed to run into the Guard Bureau...
With so many people on both sides, how could they still run into each other head-on? Did Li Boli not send out a single scout?
And what kind of thought process is that? Why ask the police for help without first throwing away what looks like something obtained through murder and robbery, and then just bluntly asking for help?
Hoshiguma shook his head, his eyes barely able to contain his amusement: "He didn't swagger around; he was just caught up in the chaos of other Azure Dragon Society members while fleeing."
"........."
Poetic sentiments remain unspoken.
Isn't this a failure to even manage the most basic function of subordinates?
No wonder Li Boli conceded so readily when she asked for command.
So it's not just because of the will to survive, but also because they're so bad at even the most basic commands?
Quite self-aware.
Hmm, this guy's abilities are terrible, yet he still has a position (open command authority). Could he be a nepotism hire?
Just in case, let's confirm.
"What is Li Boli's status in his gang?"
"You forgot?" Hoshiguma raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "I thought you remembered."
Do you remember the huge chaos you stopped when you first arrived?
Swire nodded: "Of course, that was the first time I handled a chaotic brawl involving hundreds of people that had spiraled out of control—" As she spoke, Swire suddenly realized: "One of the sides seemed to be..."
"That's right, the side that was bullied in that fierce battle but ultimately won was the Azure Dragon Society."
"It was quite small back then, with fewer than a hundred people."
Hoshiguma scratched her slightly messy green hair, a hint of reminiscence on her face: "You even beat up the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, Qingwu—that Li Boli was watching right there, and he was terrified."
"As for his identity, he is the only remaining brother of the leader of the Azure Dragon Society after he finished fighting that chaotic battle and expanded his territory to its current size."
Hoshiguma sat back in the interrogation seat, her expression becoming subtle: "His boss seems really reluctant to let him go, and is single-mindedly trying to get him out of here."
Swire stroked the shoulder strap of her tactical shoulder bag, thinking that if they really wanted to rescue her, they wouldn't send people to surround her.
It's very clear that Li Boli is a crony, but also a discarded pawn.
Hoshiguma must have figured it out and told Riboli.
What did Li Boli say that made Hoshiguma want to ignore him and just watch the show?
Could it be...? No, now is not the time to think about these things.
Swire forcefully pulled her thoughts back from the brink of a daze and pressed Hoshiguma for an answer: "Have you revealed the source of the Azure Dragon Society's firearms?"
“Nobody knows.” Hoshiguma rested her chin on her hand, a smile still lingering on her brow. “Not a single one.”
Everyone abandoned their pawns.
These four characters flashed through Shi Huaiya's mind.
Her brow furrowed instantly, and she suddenly brought up the individual from January 1st: "Among the Qingjiao Society members interrogated, was there a pink-haired woman named Zhalak who helped me relay orders?"
Hoshiguma's expression changed slightly, but she concealed it without showing any emotion. That kind and cheerful smile seemed to be engraved in her skin, never fading.
She maintained that smile and told Swire that none of the arrested members matched the description, then sat up straight and added, "Qingwu—Liboli told me that he was the only one who relayed the order for you."
Hoshiguma clasped his hands under his chin, his striking golden eyes slightly narrowed: "The others provided the same testimony."
After speaking with a slightly somber tone, Hoshiguma smiled brightly and asked cheerfully, "So, is this information useful?"
“It works.” Swire answered without hesitation, then she decisively said, “That’s enough. Let’s stop here. You and the two from Penguin Logistics continue.”
Before he finished speaking, Swire turned halfway around, preparing to leave after Hoshiguma finished responding.
Before Hoshiguma could answer, Lappland flashed a wide smile and stretched out her hand towards Yun Yi, saying, "You can leave, but leave her here to fight me!"

Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter Forty-Two I'm really quick-witted! It's just that instinct has been incorporated.
Yun Yi looked down at Lappland's outstretched hand.
Lappland's palms were fair, her five fingers were clean and white, but her nails were painted a contrasting, sinister black, just like Lappland herself—eccentric and contradictory.
Yun Yi refused before Shi Huaiya could speak.
After refusing, amidst Lappland's sighs in the background, Yun Yi suddenly asked her, "Are you very strong?"
"I?"
Is it strong?
Is Lapland strong?
Lappland paused for a moment, then said jokingly, "As for me, I'm just a little bit better than the average person, enough to turn enemies into 'thousand-layer pastries'."
She smiled and made a small gesture.
"Turning into a mille-feuille..." Yun Yi didn't quite understand the person's metaphor, but she roughly understood: "In other words, you are indeed quite strong!"
This caught Yun Yi's eye.
Penguin Logistics full-time employee = future Rhodes Island operator (looks familiar) = pretty + acceptable person = potential contract partner
Potential contract partner + decent skill level = excellent sparring partner
What is she lacking right now?
There are many, but Yunyi believes that Terra is dangerous enough in Swire's words and in her understanding.
What she values most is genuine, real-world experience.
Swire clearly belonged to the intellectual school.
No matter how skilled she is, it's all for naught if she can't put pressure on Yunyi; she can't help her in that regard.
But Lapland is different.
Hoshiguma is very strong, as can be seen from her powerful physique, her ferocious and majestic Hannya, and the oppressive aura emanating from her.
When Lappland and Hoshiguma sat facing each other, Yun Yi saw that they were evenly matched, and it was clear that they were both very strong.
And look at what Lappland said, fighting, isn't that real combat without regard for any consequences?
This is exactly what she wanted!
Upon realizing this, Yun Yi excitedly pressed for confirmation: "What are you good at? If I were to challenge you to a fight anytime, you would be willing to fight me without restraint, right?"
Lappland raised an eyebrow in surprise, actually wanting to have a bloody battle with her?
Or do you want to come anytime, anywhere?
Not bad, tasteful reading - 漪鸸0 贰易III磷倭!
Lappland stood up abruptly, responding with admiration and excitement: "Melee or ranged combat, it's up to you! Let's begin!"
"Not now." Yun Yi poured cold water on Lappland's enthusiasm, but this only fueled her fighting spirit.
Lappland, who was above, didn't care about Yun Yi's fickle refusal. She immediately reached behind her and wanted to start a fight.
But her weapon was taken away before she entered the interrogation room, and Lappland naturally found nothing.
"Tsk." Lappland clicked her tongue, calming down a little.
She straightened up from her slightly arrogant stance, staring at Yun Yi with displeasure: "Are you kidding me?"
Yun Yi waved his hand and explained, "No, no, you just heard it too. The Guard Bureau has been very busy lately. Just in case, I have to stay close to my sponsor for a while."
Upon hearing this, Lappland turned her gaze to the silent Swire: "Your patron is her?"
"Yes."
“Let me do it for you. How much do you need? I’ll go get it!” Lappland glanced up and down at Swire, whose clothes clearly indicated she was dressed in expensive attire, then confidently stepped forward, grabbed Yun Yi’s arm, and said, “Let’s go get the money!”
"Lappland." Texas called out from behind her, causing Lappland to pause, her expression growing increasingly displeased: "Texas, this was just a normal sparring match!"
“I’m not deaf.” Texas chewed on the stick-like object in her mouth and stood up.
The brown surface cut open by the stick makes it immediately clear that this is a cookie.
It's a cookie, and this shape is Pocky?
Yun Yi was momentarily distracted, but was quickly brought back to his senses by Lappland's urgent and forceful tug.
Yun Yi lowered her eyes, stretched out her arm to stop Lappland from pulling her forward, and explained to her in a gentle voice, "I will not change my sponsor."
“I have a lot of money~” Lappland spread her arms to show off her smart and stylish clothes.
At first glance, the black top and shorts seem ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they are of high quality, well-tailored, and exquisite, clearly indicating their high value.
In comparison, Swire sacrificed some refinement for the sake of work, increasing the scope of activities, and the uniform that matched the overall image of the Guard Bureau was a bit rougher.
In Lappland's view, she was clearly wealthier and stronger, making her more suitable to be the benefactor of the dangerous Yun Yi.
But Yunyi didn't know anything about clothes. She glanced at Lappland blankly, following her movements as if she didn't know what Lappland was showing, and assumed that Lappland was determined to be her patron, that is, her contract partner.
He nodded and said, "I can indeed have more than one sponsor."
"But let's make this clear first, even if you become my sponsor, we still need to follow the order of arrival. I still need to deal with Swire's matter first."
Lappland certainly knew the principle of first come, first served, but she didn't want to be second.
Lapland believed that she had made herself very clear.
—She wanted to steal Swire's place so she could immediately enjoy the thrill with Yunyi, who gave her a chilling feeling.
Yun Yi, however, was beating around the bush...
Lappland thought for a moment, then crudely transformed Yun Yi's words into a declaration of greed in her mind.
She immediately became excited, grabbed Yun Yi and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you actually think I alone can't satisfy you? How interesting, but you have no choice in the matter. Don't even think about leaving until I'm satisfied!"
"..." Yun Yi was speechless. Wasn't this just cheating?
How to do this?
This shameless behavior left Yunyi somewhat at a loss, and she subconsciously looked to Shi Huaiya for help.
Swire irritably indicated that she should deal with the mess she had made herself.
Seeing that he couldn't get help, Yun Yi turned back and looked at Lappland with a troubled expression.
Lappland's expression was one of "Don't even think about running away, hurry up and fight me, fight, fight to the death!"
This person showed no sign of giving up.
Or should we just use force to coerce her into giving up?
No, we cannot reveal the Nirvana now; we must be flexible in our approach.
Yun Yi tried to use his stubborn brain, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.
She paused, following her own logic, and said directly, "You don't necessarily have to fight me right now, do you?"
"I'll be distracted by those mysteries right now, and playing with you won't give you any enjoyment. You might as well wait until I've sorted things out."
