Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's explanation.
"Your Highness, I'm just afraid that person is coming..."
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er's worried expression and said, "Don't worry, what's meant to be will be. Besides, don't worry too much... Judging from the current situation, we're not the only ones dealing with that original owner... I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to die..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "Haha, Your Highness, you're being far too optimistic. This time, it was clearly because you were too clever and realized what was happening. If you hadn't, you would have been the one in trouble..."
"This time, it seems they're going to take us all away at once... Even if those people from the main organization had three heads and six arms, they probably couldn't save us..."
Seeing Yin Pan'er's anxious expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I've been talking to you like this to try and calm you down. Now that I'm here, I'm about to start my counterattack, aren't I?"
Yin Pan'er was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Then he said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I'm sorry..."
Yin Pan'er apologized entirely because he was too anxious; he thought Xiao Ce had been negligent.
But Yin Pan'er only remembered after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
This person is Xiao Ce; when has he ever been negligent?
He always thinks a hundred steps ahead before taking a single step.
He always plans ahead, and it's clear that his current composure and detachment are an act.
So, Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, it's alright, no need to apologize. I know you're just worried about me... Don't worry, no matter who the original owner of this body is, or whoever else... no matter how powerful they are, they're no match for us... Don't worry, everything is under control..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Alright... Your Highness, I believe you."
Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Yin Pan'er secretly made up her mind not to cause him any more trouble.
Thinking of this, she came back to her senses.
Suddenly, he noticed that Xiao Ce was staring intently at him.
After being stared at by Xiao Ce, Yin Pan'er froze on the spot, and then said, "Your Highness, wh...what's wrong?"
Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er as if he could see right through her.
He said directly to Yin Pan'er, "Don't think about doing things alone. In fact, all the things we've done together are for the sake of being together... So, we need to unite now. No matter what happens, we can't separate each other... That's the most important thing."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded firmly, "Your Highness, I understand. I'll say the same to you..."
After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right. No matter what happens this time, I will not let go of your hand. Even if we die, we will die together."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er's expression immediately changed, and she quickly covered Xiao Ce's mouth with her slender, jade-like finger.
"Pah, pah, pah, you can't talk nonsense..."
Xiao Ce laughed out loud when he saw Yin Pan'er like this, even though he knew it was feudal superstition.
However, Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er with doting eyes, smiled, and then said, "Pah! We'll definitely live to be a hundred years old..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er said to him with satisfaction, "Yes, we should all live to be a hundred years old."
As the two began to talk, their tone gradually became more flirtatious.
Yin Pan'er's gaze towards Xiao Ce underwent a subtle change.
Now, the sensible Da Lei and Xiao Yue have both left obediently.
...
The next day.
Morgana then proceeded with her plan, announcing to the public that they had been subjected to a suicide attack by the Illuminati.
They also began issuing arrest warrants for suspicious individuals and released a picture of the bicycle.
The official statement announced was that Frank was unharmed and that they had thwarted their plan.
Although some spies have infiltrated Lingas City, 99% of the residents still support the Freedom Society, as their policies truly benefit them.
Not only that, Morgana also sent people to contact the Lannister family and Boudica, asking them to come over as soon as possible.
Morgana has important matters to discuss with them.
After Morgana finished doing all that, she went straight to Gandhi's food store to find Gandhi without saying a word.
The main reason is that Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er both showed distrust of Gandhi yesterday.
In a sense, Gandhi was introduced to us by her.
Therefore, Morgana's society is genuinely worried that there is something wrong with this Gandhi.
However, Morgana had contact with this Gandhi several times, and not just several times.
She had actually investigated Gandhi both openly and secretly, but she hadn't found anything wrong with him.
This Gandhi was clean and his reasons for coming here were also very valid.
Moreover, there hadn't been any unrest here before Gandhi came.
However, compared to the information she had gathered from her investigation, she was still more inclined to believe Xiao Ce.
The reason is simple: Xiao Ce's intuition seemed to be more accurate than the results of her investigation.
This time, she was misled by those who were watching her, which almost caused them huge losses.
If Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er hadn't been so vigilant, things could have really gone wrong...
She came here this time to see if Gandhi would react in any way.
In fact, Xiao Ce had also given Morgana a heads-up.
Tell Morgana not to test Gandhi, and to treat him the same way she always has.
Morgana naturally did as she was told.
She usually carries a lot of bread with her in the morning.
At this moment, Morgana walked into the food store, and the shop assistants greeted her very warmly.
"Lady Morgana, you've arrived so early today..."
Morgana smiled slightly at the shop assistant, showing no airs whatsoever, and said, "I was held up by some things yesterday, which is why I couldn't come. Luckily, Boss Gandhi didn't blame me... Today, no matter what, after taking care of some things, I had some time and came over as soon as possible..."
After hearing Morgana's words, the shop assistant nodded, then looked at Morgana with a hesitant expression.
Morgana had actually guessed what he was going to ask, so she didn't beat around the bush and said directly to the shop assistant, "What do you want to ask? Just ask. There's nothing to worry about. If it's something I can tell you, I'll tell you. If it's something I'm not comfortable telling you, I'll be frank..."
Hearing Morgana's words, the shop assistant smiled and then said, "Ms. Morgana, I heard on the notice this morning that General Frank was attacked. Are they alright? You were also delayed because of this yesterday..."
Morgana wasn't surprised that the shop assistant asked that question.
After all, since Morgana released an announcement, everyone here has been discussing it all day.
Upon hearing the clerk's question, Morgana quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, sir. God bless! General Frank was delayed by some unexpected events... so he escaped unharmed..."
The shop assistant did not show any other expression after hearing Morgana's words.
Instead, he let out a long sigh of relief: "That's wonderful! General Frank is our guardian angel! Thanks to his strict defenses and control of the entire sea area... we're safe like this..."
After listening to the shop assistant's words, Morgana smiled and then said to him, "That's right, it really is... Perhaps it was your prayers that allowed him to escape this calamity. God protected him..."
The shop assistant nodded in agreement, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Morgana stopped talking.
He immediately took Morgana and her trusted confidante Luna upstairs...
By this time, Gandhi had already started making bread early, making him quite a hard worker.
Making this bread was something I did myself from start to finish, without any help from anyone else. So, it was definitely a physically demanding task…
Just then, Morgana went over and saw Gandhi busy at work.
Gandhi merely nodded in greeting to Morgana, without putting down his work...
She waited until he finished making one before coming to greet Morgana.
“Ms. Morgana, you’re here so early today… I thought that with such a big thing happening, you wouldn’t come.”
Morgana was somewhat surprised that Gandhi had brought up the matter on his own initiative.
Normally, if this matter were related to Gandhi, he would keep quiet about it to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, Gandhi spoke about this matter frankly.
Morgana had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Boss Gandhi, if there had been no news like yesterday, I really wouldn't have had the heart to come. Now that I've escaped a disaster, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief..."
Gan nodded: "Is General Frank alright now?"
Morgana nodded, and then repeated the same line she had just spoken with the shop assistant.
After listening, Gandhi did not immediately respond.
Instead, his deep eyes were fixed on Morgana.
Morgana felt a little uneasy under his gaze.
She was somewhat afraid that she had given herself away and that Gandhi had discovered that she suspected him.
Unfortunately, Gandhi believed Morgana was lying.
However, Gandhi felt that he was lying because Frank was actually dead, and he was now pretending that he wasn't.
Morgana's eyes showed panic, which indirectly confirmed his thoughts.
At this moment, their respective imaginations led them to unexpectedly discover the truth...
Morgana, feeling a little uneasy, asked Gandhi, "Gandhi, what's wrong?"
Gandhi smiled, then smiled at Morgana and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that you are God's chosen ones, surviving even suicide attacks like this..."
Morgana listened to Gandhi's words and then said with a smile, "Yes, perhaps God also realized General Frank's importance to our Freedom Society and to the people in our Freedom Alliance, so He let him live and prevented the Illuminati's conspiracy from succeeding."
Gandhi nodded: "That's right, since that's the case. Ms. Morgana, go and tell Gandhi to make sure he gets his share every day as long as he's in Lingas City. For God's sake, I have to do it..."
Morgana smiled upon hearing Gandhi's words and said, "Boss Gandhi, I will certainly pass on your kindness. However, Frank probably won't be showing up for a while..."
Gan nodded, then said, "It was my oversight... You can collect it on my behalf then..."
Morgana's face lit up with joy, and she said to Gandhi, "Okay, Boss Gandhi, thank you very much..."
Gandhi waved his hand: "Let him come and thank me in person later."
Then, seemingly casually, Gandhi asked, "By the way, aren't you still searching for people? Have you now confirmed the identities of those terrorists who carried out the suicide attacks—that they are members of the Illuminati?"
Morgana naturally noticed that Gandhi seemed to be gathering information.
However, she had already prepared her explanation.
He said directly to Gandhi, "Boss Gandhi, no... this is just my guess. Who else could it be besides someone from the Illuminati..."
Gandhi nodded after hearing Morgana's words and didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, his oven of bread was ready.
He skillfully took it out and handed it to Morgana.
After taking the bread, Morgana said to Gandhi, "Thank you, sir Gandhi. And although General Frank couldn't come, I'll have him give you a handwritten thank-you note tomorrow..."
Morgana said this while looking at Gandhi, then continued, "To show that I didn't steal the food..."
Seeing this, Gandhi smiled and said, "Haha, there is indeed a need for it. After all, I didn't get any bread here yesterday, and I even had to buy some on the black market..."
Gandhi's unusual remark immediately put Morgana on alert.
The bread we bought at the black market yesterday was for Xiao Ce and his companions to try, even though they didn't eat it.
But Gandhi knew this all along.
Morgana looked at Gandhi with some surprise and said, "Gandhi, you know this too?"
Gandhi nodded to Morgana, making no attempt to hide anything. He stated frankly, "The black market boss gives me a list of buyers every day, and I don't know what they mean by it. Perhaps it's a show of sincerity... or maybe they're afraid I'll join forces with you to shut them down. At first, I thought it was useless, but then I thought I could use the black market prices to determine if I needed to produce more to stabilize the price and provide some data."
