The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

"Can you take me to see your boss now?"

Hua Yan watched as everyone took the pills, a cryptic smile appearing on her lips.

Haha! Ninth Master is indeed Ninth Master; he won't let others take advantage of him for nothing.

Sergei nodded, then led his men toward his car.

Hua Yan gave some instructions, telling Chai Lu to continue delivering goods as planned, while she followed Sergei with three bodyguards.

Chai Lu was worried, but he knew that Hua Yan was a woman with her own ideas, no less capable than him, and perhaps even more so, so there was no need to worry.

"Don't worry, Dad! I know what I'm doing."

Fifthly, protect everyone, especially the drivers who came out this time. We must ensure they all get home safely.

"Yes, boss! Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task."

He stood at attention and gave Hua Yan a military salute.

"Make sure you hide the guns I gave you well, don't let anyone find them. If a conflict occurs, try not to kill the other party. Be careful in everything you do, and if there's anything you can't handle, call me."

Hua Yan patted Xiao Wu's arm, adopting the air of an elder.

Haha! She wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but she wasn't tall enough.

Xia Wu had heard Liu Liang talk about the boss's abilities before, but he'd never seen it for himself and always thought it was an exaggeration. Now, seeing Hua Yan calmly devise tactics and negotiate so skillfully when facing armed assailants, he knew Liu Liang wasn't exaggerating at all. The key was the sheer number of advanced weapons they had; their strength was not to be underestimated. Working for a boss like that suddenly made him feel superior.

Haha! A leader's style of doing things can definitely influence the mentality of his subordinates.

Hua Yan left with her bodyguards, and Chai Lu reassured everyone to continue resting. Hua Yan had originally arranged for several bodyguards to protect the drivers, but the gunshots still terrified them.

Even in the dead of night, Hua Yan wasn't afraid, but the three bodyguards watched their surroundings warily.

More than an hour later, Hua Yan followed Sergei to their base. It was a small town, not large, but complete in every way, with all kinds of businesses. It was still dark, but that didn't hinder Hua Yan's observation.

"Rest here for a while, and I'll take you there after dawn."

Sergei jumped out of the car and went to Hua Yan's car, saying...

"it is good!"

Hua Yan didn't waste any words. She opened the car door and followed Sergei into a three-story building. It looked a bit simple from the outside, but it had a very exotic style.

Haha! I didn't expect the inside to be so different from the outside. It's not exactly luxurious, but it's simple yet sophisticated. There's a reception hall, bedrooms, a kitchen, a gym, and more.

Sergei looked at Hua Yan with admiration in his eyes. He hadn't expected this young girl to be so brave, bringing three people with her.

"Let's get to know each other. My name is Hua Yan, everyone calls me Ninth Master. What's your name?"

Hua Yan said in a very serious tone.

"Sergei."

Although Sergei didn't know why he called a little girl "Ninth Master," he knew it must be a symbol of status.

"Hello there!"

Hua Yan shook hands with Sergei.

"Ninth Master, please make yourself comfortable in the rooms on the second floor."

Sergei pointed upstairs.

Hua Yan nodded, said nothing more, and went upstairs with her three bodyguards.

Sergei watched Hua Yan's retreating figure, lost in thought. What gave this young girl such confidence? Looking at his own injured arm, he noticed it not only didn't hurt anymore, but also showed clear signs of recovery.

Haha! It seems this little girl is really something else. She managed to take them all down and generously healed their injuries. Now she even dares to come with them. All of this shows one thing: she doesn't take them seriously at all.

If some cooperation could be achieved, he would have made a contribution to the Brotherhood. Sergei thought to himself.

next day

There was a knock on Hua Yan's door, and Sergei came over in person to invite her to dinner.

"Ninth Master, I've contacted the Brotherhood's second-in-command. He asked me to bring you to see him later. Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll set off."

Sergei's attitude had changed noticeably; he was no longer as arrogant as he had been a few hours earlier.

Hua Yan noticed the change, but didn't know why.

"Alright! We are guests, we will follow the host's arrangements."

Hua Yan followed Sergei downstairs, and the three bodyguards were also asked to come down.

Breakfast was quite plentiful, featuring classic R-country bread, pancakes, sausages, cheese, salad, and more, along with coffee and various types of porridge. Perhaps considering that Hua Yan and her group were Chinese, they prepared as much as possible.

Hua Yan wasn't picky about food, and her three bodyguards, all former soldiers, weren't picky eaters either. Once everyone was seated, they didn't stand on ceremony and started eating.

After the meal, Sergei selected a few people to accompany him, and set off with Hua Yan and the others.

The three bodyguards in Hua Yan's car had been on edge ever since they arrived in this small town with her yesterday. Liu Liang had instructed them not to let anything happen to Hua Yan. So even though they took turns on duty, they hadn't had a proper rest. Now that they were heading to the robbery group's headquarters, they were even more concerned about Hua Yan's safety.

"Eighteen, it's okay, don't be nervous. As long as there's something to gain, they'll treat us very politely."

The Black Dragon Society of Country J is powerful, isn't it? Now they're our partner. As long as there's profit to be made, they have to cater to us.

Hua Yan patted Shi Ba's hand, looking mature and composed.

Xia Shiba nodded heavily, looking at Hua Yan's calm demeanor.

The car traveled for about four hours and arrived at a small town, which was larger than Sergei's town, but not a bustling city.

However, there is a unique building here, with a round and full helmet-shaped dome structure that is very European in style.

Hua Yan felt it resembled a church; in her past life, she had visited R country, where many churches had this kind of structure.

Upon entering, it turned out to be a church, and there happened to be people attending a service.

Sergei sat at the back of the crowd with Huayan, listening to the clergy preach to the believers.

He probably forgot it was Sunday, busy with robbery and plunder every day. But sitting there, he looked like a devout believer, his serious expression betraying no trace of the ferocity and cruelty he displayed when firing a gun.

This is probably the duality that everyone has: one side is the devil, and the other is the angel. Both sides are real, just appearing in different situations.

Hua Yan and the others followed local customs, sitting there and pretending to listen attentively, but apart from Hua Yan, the other three couldn't understand what was being said.

Previously, Hua Yan was an atheist. Since her rebirth, she doesn't reject the idea of ​​gods and ghosts, but she has never truly believed in any religion. However, she respects every sect but keeps her distance, always remaining an observer.

We've come a long way and are tired, so it's a good time to take a break.

Fortunately, the sermon was nearing its end when they arrived, and it was over in no time. After everyone dispersed, Sergei introduced Huayan to one of the clergymen present.

“Bishop Dmitri, this is the person I told you about before. Her name is Hua Yan, and everyone calls her Ninth Master.”

Dmitri made the sign of the cross on his chest and said, "May God bless you."

Hua Yan noticed that he made the sign of the cross with three fingers, and knew he was an Orthodox Christian, because that was their unique way of doing things.

Orthodox Christianity is the largest religion in Country R, ​​with more than half of the population adhering to it. Hua Yan and her group are located in the southeastern region of Country R, ​​where Islam is prevalent, so Hua Yan believes that this Dmitri must wield considerable influence.
