Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

That's what Sofia thought, so she was already planning to get up from the ground.

but no.

Sofia found that she was still pinned to the cold floor, unable to move.

Could it be that this little idol has some conditions or requirements that he hasn’t mentioned yet?

But Zofia waited quietly for a few seconds and found that Xinteleya neither spoke nor let go.

This caused Zofia to have to turn her head with difficulty, wanting to see what Xinteleya was doing.

But what she saw was that Xinteleya was looking at her with a subtle, complex, and even slightly excited look that Sofia could not understand at all.

Sophia: "?"

No?

What's that look in your eyes?

This made Sofia confused, and she even began to wonder if Xinteleya had any special hobbies.

After all, her fans' evaluation of the popular idol Xinteleya was cold, sharp-tongued, forced to do business, and even a little sadistic...

Wait? Sadistic?

So now, Zofia's eyes started to look strange when she looked at Xinteleya.

But this is indeed a misunderstanding.

The reason why Xinteleya behaved so strangely was simply because of the psychological self-satisfaction brought about by the contrast between their status.

Three days ago, Xinteleya was just a powerless, unprivileged worker who was treated like a slave.

And Zofia?

She is a rich woman who is high above everyone else, like the stars in the sky. She has both status and money.

But just three days later, Zofia, the dazzling ocean horse like the sun, was trampled under the feet of the former social animal worker and pinned to the ground. Her pretty face was covered in dust, and her arrogant eyes were full of humiliation...

This contrast gave Xinteleya a morbid sense of psychological satisfaction, almost making her addicted to it.

Finally, Chen Ran's voice rang in her mind:

"Oh my, it seems that this aunt not only thinks that there is something wrong with your sexual orientation, Little Platinum, but also suspects that you have some special fetishes."

Xinteleya: "?"

Who is the aunt? Who is Xiao Baijin talking about?

These two words, which she had never heard of at all, made Xinteleya feel very confused.

Fortunately, Chen Ran's words successfully brought Xinteleya back to her senses.

Xinteleya lowered her head and found that Sofia had a complicated and resistant expression on her face, as if she was worried that her chastity was being lost.

Xinteleya's mouth twitched, she sighed softly, and immediately stopped time.

Sofia felt her body lighten, and Sintela, who was holding her down, suddenly disappeared.

When I turned around and found Xinteleya, I discovered that Xinteleya had already sat back on the sofa without me noticing that she was an outsider and was still eating her afternoon tea.

"..., although I've already promised you the money, for... um... safety, I'd better ask first."

Zofia scrambled to her feet, not even bothering to straighten her clothes or brush off the dust. She asked tentatively, ready to turn and run, "Hintleya, the reason you're seeking my cooperation isn't for some... weird reason, right?"

"No."

Cintrea denied it, "It's just that in all of Casimir, after all I think about it, you, the Whip Knight, are the most likely to be the wronged one."

Sophia: "?"

You might as well talk about your sexual orientation problems and some special fetishes!

What is this big wronged person? Who are you scolding?

I'm going to turn against you now, believe it or not!

……

……

……

In the end, Zofia did not turn hostile. After all, she could not beat Xinteleya, and she did not want to be pinned to the ground for the second time.

as well as--

Sofia was actually curious.

With Xinteleya's... speed that was impossible for the naked eye to grasp? Her elusive manner? Her ferocious ability to kill with a single blow?

Even if she was discovered by some business association or the Heroless Alliance, there was no need for Xinteleya to be afraid, right?

It's just a matter of a few more people dying.

So why would Xinteleya go to all the trouble to create a normal, legal cash flow?

It can't be something like "I, Xinteleya, just want to live a peaceful life," right?

But thinking back to that strange look in Xinteleya's eyes and what had happened in the past three days...

But Sophia felt as if she understood.

It's like a cat playing with mouse.

They won't catch them all at once, but will kill one a day. No matter how the Chamber of Commerce investigates, they won't find any clues.

The reason why Xinteleya continued to be her little idol was that she could use this identity to openly appreciate the panic and fear of those people, who were all worried about their own safety and didn't know whether they would be the next to die. They took pleasure in their expressions of despair.

"What a bad-tempered woman..."

Sophia couldn't help but mutter.

I was just lazy and didn't know how to launder money, so I could only ask someone. I didn't think of such a long-term goal. I also had to prevent the resurrection of the evil god, Xinteleya: "?"

"cough……"

Sophia seemed to realize her own gaffe and said, "I mean, I've already drafted the contract."

When Xinteleya reached out and took the so-called "contract".

Zofia explained, "To the outside world, I'll support your knight and idol work, Sintelaiya, by 'investing' or signing you to my name. I'll provide you with the normal, legal cash flow you need in the form of salary payments. Is this feasible?"

It’s feasible. It’s very feasible.

Because whether it is a knight or an idol, in Casimir, they are actually employees of the Chamber of Commerce.

Although it is stated to the outside world that it has attributes such as investment and trade union, in reality it is just a contract to sell one's body.

You don't want to sign?

Okay, if you are just a little Karami, no one will pay attention to you, but do you want to go further?

Sorry, either you sign it or you’ll be in the newspaper the next day, saying that someone died tragically at home.

Therefore, Sofia's current methods are "legal and compliant".

The only issue with paying salaries is not so acceptable. After all, normally, these knights pay tribute to the company, so how can the company pay them salaries?

and--

“Xintelaiya, you have rejected contracts from several companies before and have always been a lone wolf, but now you have been signed by me.

Don't worry, the newspapers will ask you a lot of questions about this matter.

When the time comes, I will have my servants write a special explanation for you on how to deal with it."

Sofia handled everything very well.

But Xinteleya, who was flipping through the documents in her hand, heard this and said casually, "What's there to write about this? I'll just say that it was you, the Whipblade Knight, who coveted my beauty and used all kinds of threats and inducements to sign me under your name. Isn't that enough?"

Sophia: "?"

What do you mean I covet your beauty?

You're trying to put the blame on someone else, right?

Chapter 195 Xinteleya: Miss, go and pour me a glass of water.

"Cintraya! Cintraya! Cintraya!"

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

After three days of rest in Xinteleya, the number of fans who came to the scene on the day when the Knight returned to the stage for a commercial performance was unprecedented.

Because early this morning, various newspapers published various news about Xinteleya being signed by someone.

For example, what:

Even the popular idol Sintela couldn't escape the clutches of capital. Who is the person who signed her?

Signing a contract? Or keeping a sponsor? Popular idol Sintelaiya is likely a captive canary.

Shocking! Popular idol Sintela actually told her face that the man who signed her had ulterior motives? Was he after her beauty?

So under the bombardment of these news, Xinteleya's fans all felt like the sky was falling.

Who on earth is it! Who dares to give their Sintela to—

Oh, the Whip Knight? From the Linguang family?

That's fine.

Who doesn't know Casimir? The Linguang family is a serious family of knights and nobles, completely different from those effeminate people.

The news reports seemed to know this as well, so they did not mention the Lin Guang family, but instead deliberately led the story in the direction of "keeping a mistress" and "coveting beauty".

In addition, Xinteleya, who had rested for three days, felt even more forced to perform when she took the stage today, which seemed to further prove these points.

"Even Cintrea has been signed... My youth is over..."

"But as for the Linguang family... they should be okay?"

"That's the Whipblade Knight! A beautiful, kind, wealthy woman, huh?"

"You don't understand! Among those noble women, they play even crazier than the men!"

"But why did Cintela's eyes change back today? Where's the star pattern from before?"

"It must be cosmetic contact lenses. I guess it's another order from some contact lens company. Sigh... Ever since Xinteleiya was signed, she's started to fall into decline. She's even started taking orders."

"But wasn't Sintela just signed today? She started wearing contact lenses three days ago, huh?"

"How can someone think of something, draft a contract, and sign someone on the same day? This must have been planned for a long time."

"Think about it. Three days ago, Xinteleya's agent died suddenly at home. Xinteleya was signed directly after resting for three days. Xinteleya's new agent must have been arranged by someone else."

"Think about it, think about it carefully. Isn't it terrifying when you think about it carefully?"

"Hiss... is it true?"

Xinteleya didn't know about the fans' imaginations in the audience, although even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care.

Xinteleya just sang one song and then turned and left.

The fans in the audience were used to it and didn't care. They just kept shouting "Encore!"

It was not until she returned to the backstage that Xinteleya took off her in-ear monitor.

When she looked up, she saw the knights who were about to go on stage standing by and looking at her with a subtle look on their faces.

No, or rather——

He was looking at Xinteleya and Sofia, who were waiting in the corridor with their arms folded.

Seeing this, Xinteleya bit her lip lightly, lowered her head, and walked timidly in front of Sofia, then said clearly and crisply: "Miss..."

The word "Miss" almost gave Sofia goosebumps.

But when she saw the knights around them looking in their direction, Zofia couldn't help but complain. She just nodded sparingly and said, "Well, let's go."

"it is good……"

Sofia turned and left, and Xinteleya showed that even though she had a thousand words to say, she had no choice but to obey and followed Sofia obediently.

Until the two of them returned to the dressing room one after another.
