Boonie Bears: Another World Fantasy
Chapter 141 The Last Star (Part 1)
"What? Lend me your clothes? Absolutely not! No way! These are imported goods that I went through a lot of trouble to have someone buy them from outside! I wear them very carefully myself, and I would never lend them to anyone else!" Upon hearing Ye Man'er's request to borrow her clothes, Fanny waved her hands frantically and refused, just like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Besides, there are so many people watching here, how could I possibly take off my clothes and lend them to you in public?" Fanny was clearly embarrassed by Yeman's sudden request.
However, Ye Man'er showed no sign of backing down and continued, "You're still wearing an undershirt, so lend me this coat for a bit. I just have some urgent business to attend to." Before she finished speaking, Ye Man'er swiftly tore off her coat.
Seeing this, even the usually carefree Fanny was stunned and almost knelt down to beg for mercy from Ye Man'er. She quickly helped Ye Man'er put her clothes back on and pleaded in a low voice, "My dear Sister Ye, I'm begging you, please? Please don't take your clothes off like this in front of the boss! If he sees us, we're both doomed!"
Finally, the two women racked their brains and came up with a makeshift excuse, successfully sneaking out of the Abyss Throne. They ran all the way to a secluded and unnoticed corner. Here, Fanny breathed a slight sigh of relief and then carefully questioned Yeman.
She vaguely guessed the real reason why Ye Man'er was acting this way...
"You're still helping her after all."
Mus hated traitors more than anything in his life, and now, Yeman's actions were equivalent to those of her disciple Naling, who betrayed the Deer Clan. The scenario Fanny least wanted to see had finally come to pass. From the moment Yeman intentionally let Naling go, the seeds of this whole affair had already been sown.
Watching Fanny turn and leave without looking back, Ye Man'er called out, "I never expected you to turn a blind eye to what I've done, Fanny. In truth, we both know perfectly well what kind of power we're serving. However, in my opinion, a dynasty built entirely on lies and deception is destined to collapse."
Upon hearing these words, Fanny abruptly stopped, but still kept her back to Yeman: "This is absolutely not an excuse for you to absolve yourself of your guilt, Yeman. As for what is right and wrong, I don't need you to teach me." Without giving Yeman a chance to say another word, she continued, "While I, Fanny, may not be a perfect gentleman, I at least have some principles. At most, when Mus presses me, I will choose to remain silent."
Ye Man'er hurriedly put on Fanny's coat, then rushed towards the corner of the corridor at lightning speed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Fanny was left standing alone, motionless for a long time.
"Na Ling? Na Ling? Can you hear me?"
On the other side, Naling, who had climbed down the abyss cliffs using ropes, looked down at the entire underground city, his heart still reeling from the shock.
"Senior, when was this built?"
"This isn't the time to talk about anything. Where are you right now?"
Na Ling secured the support frame to the rock face, not daring to move it carelessly. With insufficient safety facilities and hundreds of meters in the air, the slightest mistake could result in her being smashed to pieces.
Although she has the support of flowing light energy throughout her body.
Little by little, she lowered the rope, slowly moving herself downwards. She successfully landed on the top of a tall building. She stood up and glanced at the cylindrical opening right above her head.
The scale of the underground cavity far exceeded Na Ling's previous expectations. Huge boulders hung upside down from the dome, only a hundred meters away from the tallest building in the area. At such a height, gliding out using the Stream Energy would be far too conspicuous and easily detected by the Golden Deer Antlers; however, taking the elevator down would be far too slow, and who knew if the building even had an elevator at all?
"Quick, there's no time! The Queen has already left the venue for the Deer Cave. He's in trouble."
Although temporarily using a glider is not the best solution, there is no faster way at the moment.
"Don't be afraid, the Deer Clan's War God won't die from this kid anytime soon."
Na Ling put on her gliding suit, spotted the landing spot, and jumped from the rooftop.
......
Suburbs of Shenzhen.
"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..." An Han stared at the unresponsive phone on the table. The screen showed Xiao Junyao as the contact, but the other party did not answer the phone.
Losing patience, An Han picked up the pliers again. She then inserted them into the car's hood and began to pry them open forcefully.
Behind her was a workshop full of materials and equipment.
Eight hours ago.
"I need some nickel and cobalt. How much does the company have in stock?"
In a small office building that V Group had temporarily vacated for Sunset, Yu Lian was enjoying a cigarette mixed with tobacco and Zixing brand on the office balcony. As he expected, An Han, who had no one to rely on, still came to find him.
"You mean chromium-cobalt-nickel alloy, right? We have some in our old inventory, but we don't have any separate pieces," he dismissed.
“That suits me perfectly. How much?” An Han asked.
A box of expensive alloy was designated to be delivered to the workshop at her villa. After the materials were counted, Yu Lian handed the list to An Han.
"Use it sparingly, this is aerospace material. The money will be deducted from your existing assets." After signing the contract, Yu Lian watched as An Han obediently pressed her fingerprint on the guarantee.
"You've figured it out? Planning a comeback and leveraging the V Group to make a big splash?"
An Han didn't answer him; only she knew what to do next.
Standing at her workbench, she took out a vial of Purple Star that she and Karl had previously seized from the V Group. She had originally planned to use her spare time to study it and analyze its elemental structure, but little did she expect that this trophy, preserved to this day, would be completely transformed into a weapon.
"This matter won't just end like this." On the computer screen, An Han compiled all the available on-site footage related to the Deer Clan, watching and analyzing it one by one.
"You're not going to fight those deer people, are you, my dear lady?" A warm breeze brushed past An Han's ear, carrying a familiar scent. She didn't need to turn around to know that it must be Xiao Ke coming to urge her to go back and rest.
An Han took a deep breath, feeling the oppressive heat in the air, and slowly said, "You know my style, Xiao Ke. She just swaggered in like that, without any scruples or pity, ruining countless lives and making this already troubled city even worse. Of course, that includes everything about me..." She practically squeezed out the last few words through clenched teeth.
Xiao Ke couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. She raised her hand, placed her fingers next to An Han's cheek, and then gently turned An Han's head to face her.
“I think it would be better if you went to have a proper talk with Zhao Lin tomorrow. After all, you're in a completely passive position in this matter. I don't want to see you get picked up like a chick and thrown far away before you even have a chance to make a move.”
Before An Han could respond, Xiao Ke suddenly leaned in and tentatively kissed her. An Han had no time to dodge, so she could only helplessly close her eyes, letting Xiao Ke's lips press tightly against her own, and feeling her nimble tongue trying to explore the depths of her mouth.
An Han felt that her already limited energy was about to be completely wasted. Xiao Ke had been acting very strangely lately; it was as if that weak, subservient state in front of the powerful and wealthy had never existed in her.
"I'll be waiting for you in the room." After leaving those words, Xiao Ke floated away.
But An Han didn't pay much attention to how things were going. After taking a short nap in her chair, she continued to study the documents in her hands.
......
Late at night, by the artificial lake.
Holding an umbrella, Zhao Lin jogged to the wide lakeside. The light rain made visibility even lower, and Zhao Lin could only make out a blurry figure near the stone fence.
The person was wearing a long black robe that completely covered the deer tribe uniform underneath, making her almost blend into the dark lake surface.
Since the other person's identity had not yet been confirmed, Zhao Lin did not dare to speak casually. Instead, she quietly walked to the side and started to strike up a conversation.
"Sorry, it took a little time to process the hospital fees. Thank you for your patience—"
After speaking, the person in the black robe lifted a corner of the hood, revealing Naya's distinctive facial features.
Zhao Lin didn't even have time to properly place the umbrella in her hand before tossing it aside, leaving it lying forlornly on the ground. Then, without hesitation, she opened her arms and tightly embraced Naya in front of her. At that moment, all the bitterness and helplessness she had endured over this period surged forth in a torrent.
"This shouldn't have happened—" Zhao Lin murmured softly, trying to soothe the other's wounded heart with gentle words. Looking at Naya, who was growing increasingly depressed due to pressure from all sides, Zhao Lin felt her pain deeply. The weight of this complex society was like an invisible and intangible ghost, silently seeping into everyone's lives, subtly changing people's mindsets and destinies.
"I'm sorry, Zhao Lin, I really had no choice but to come to see you in such a disheveled state..." The gloom on Naya's face seemed to dissipate slightly. In the cold rain, Naya's melancholy and sorrowful expression touched the softest corner of Zhao Lin's heart.
"We can't stay here any longer, hold on tight to me." Naya tiptoed slightly, lifting Zhao Lin into the air, cleverly using the rain to conceal their presence. They passed through layers of dark clouds, and the bright moonlight shone on them once more. Zhao Lin looked up and was pleasantly surprised to find the last few stars surrounding the moon shining with a faint but firm light.
