My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

After it left, Noita returned to the dormitory. With nothing to do, he watched the progress on Adele's side and then designed some alchemical props.

……

The dry and cold air that seemed to be freezing made it difficult to breathe. Adele walked through the streets where the cold wind was howling. On her right shoulder, a small and exquisite black jade crow quietly looked at everything around her.

In the silence with only the howling of the cold wind, she walked into the base, took off her heavy windproof coat and went up to the second floor.

In the main hall on the second floor, a group of people had been waiting for her for a long time.

"I'm visiting some friends. I hope I'm not late."

Milin glanced at the crow over her shoulder and smiled, "Perfect timing."

"Okay." Adele sat down and asked everyone, "What's the reason for calling this meeting so suddenly?"

"The Rango Society wants to open a workshop in Community 7," Milin said. "They're supporters of the Kaza Brotherhood. I don't know why things got a little strained a while ago, but they're still close ties. Should we agree?"

After several minor conflicts with the Kaza Brotherhood, the surrounding gangs have learned that a Pious Union has emerged here.

According to convention, other gangs or chambers of commerce must inform their respective gangs if they want to open stores in different places.

After all, it is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts. It would be disgusting if we don’t give these people any benefits.

"If it's legitimate business, we welcome it. If it's not legitimate business, we reject it."

The so-called improper business refers to businesses that are not in line with Adele's moral values, such as selling sex and drug trafficking. However, since the mountain people are quite knowledgeable about martial arts, businesses such as selling weapons are not included in this category.

"It's the alchemy business," Crow whispered. "Moser has acquired some of the trading rights for alchemical products from Wingard, so he's looking for a place to set up his alchemy workshop. Aren't you worried about the homeless people who are willing to follow the Federation having nowhere to stay? I have some connections with him, so I'll let him set up his workshop here and select the employees from among them."

Adele opened her eyes slightly, feeling a little jealous.

Didn't Noita say she came to Serkar for a trip? How come there are so many people here without her noticing?

Regardless of what she was thinking, since Noita had explained the pros and cons clearly, she didn't need to hesitate.

Tell Milin to investigate whether the workshop is functioning properly after it is installed and whether the goods produced are of good quality.

It's not that I don't trust Noita, but people are always greedy. It would be bad if Moze was confused for a moment and wanted to use the name of the workshop to produce goods that poison the public.

She had heard of such cases more than once or twice.

Be careful in everything.

With Adele's approval, the matter was passed, and what followed was the handling and review of some matters within the community.

When the meeting was over, Adele brought Crow back to the conference room.

Curiously asked her: "Where have you been these days?"

Chapter 112: Difficult Guests

This is the twentieth day that Noita has become the spokesperson for the doe.

In the quiet and secluded room, with a dim candlelight, the envoy from the Lango Society sat in the dark room, looking haggard and pulling his hair in worry.

Beside him, the leader of the Kaza Brotherhood was also distressed, staring silently at the tiny candle flame.

After an unknown amount of time, the leader whispered, "Watu, will Rango really abandon us?"

The sound broke the silence, only making Watu more annoyed.

Vatu is an old man who escaped from the territory of the Rango Society. He has a close personal relationship with the leader of the Kaza Brotherhood. However, he was nervous and anxious about Moze's abnormal replacement of the leaders of the society some time ago.

The replaced leader said that he was arranged to return to the headquarters to retire, but no one knew the actual situation. They sent people to the headquarters to inquire, but no one had returned recently.

Seeing that the knife was about to fall on him, Vatu's psychological defenses failed and he ran directly to the territory of the Kaza Brotherhood to ask for protection from the Brotherhood.

He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. "Moze has been constantly purging the veterans who have made great contributions, eliminating dissidents, appointing new people, and reshuffling the leaders of the various businesses of the Rango Society. He even said he wanted to start a clean business. Bullshit! The Rango Society was founded by us old men. From the people to the things, everything is stinky, let alone clean! He came from the headquarters, but how clean can he be!"

Vatu's eyes were fierce and filled with resentment. He took out two gold coins from his waist and slammed them on the table: "There is no such thing as clean and dirty money, Warren. If there were two gold coins in front of you, could you tell which one is clean and which one is dirty?!"

Warren shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know, but is he planning to shut down the leaf-drowning business?"

"Bah, this son of a bitch, the smuggling is still there, but the drowning leaves are all broken."

Drowned leaves are one of the main revenue industries of the Kaza Brotherhood.

Warren asked anxiously, "Does Panqiu allow this?"

Panqiu is the overlord of the East City black market. He is extremely powerful and has monopolized 70% of the supply of rapeseed in the East City black market.

"He didn't make any moves to climb the hill, but he did say we should part ways amicably." Vatu picked up a handful of crushed drooling leaves and swallowed them, his cheeks flushed, revealing an abnormal excitement. "It's a good thing this kid knows his place, unlike those guys in Community No. 7 who forbid the drooling leaves trade... humph, otherwise he'd be dead."

"Then what should we do? Without the Rango Club's connections, we'll be out of this batch of drowned leaves we have. Our warehouse was robbed a while ago, and we need to replenish supplies. We're short on cash right now."

"No hurries."

With a flushed face, Watu threw some leaves into the candle flame and lit them. The curling green smoke and the hazy atmosphere intoxicated Watu.

"We can buy directly from Panqiu, and even mortgage the goods. We can take the goods first and pay him after we sell them. Don't worry, brother, leave everything to me. I know this business like never before. As long as you can sell it, I will definitely arrange everything for you. Let's grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory."

The smoke from the drowned leaves filled the dark room, and Warren felt a little dizzy. He suddenly nodded and lost himself in the intoxication.

As the smoke and smell in the dark room grew thicker, the two became more obsessed.

They should have fallen into a deep sleep surrounded by the leaves, but a sudden knock startled Warren.

Warren suddenly regained consciousness and left the house with the lingering stench of burning leaves. He looked at his men coldly, and the gang members bowed their heads and told him, "We've caught a traitor."

"Humph, traitor, take me there."

Warren snorted angrily and told his men to lead the way.

On the way, the younger brother explained the whole story to Warren.

They had long noticed that the captured boy was sneaky and out of tune with them, so they had been secretly monitoring him. Sure enough, they caught the boy's flaw today.

He is in contact with people from the Pious Union.

Who doesn't know that the Pious Union and the Kaza Brotherhood have been having a lot of unpleasantness recently.

The younger brother fanned the flames: "Brother, he's meeting with the people from this union, which is a slap in your face."

"Hmph, I will make my own judgment on this matter."

After a while, the two arrived at a small hut.

The traitors and members of the Pious Union had been arrested, their legs and hands tied, and hung upside down.

The traitors and the members of the Union were beaten beyond recognition, their faces swollen like buckets. Even their own mothers would have difficulty recognizing them.

Warren recognized the traitor: "Slo, how come you're hanging out with the people from the Pious Union?"

"I was just chatting with a friend, and they grabbed me and beat me up. I felt so wronged."

"Then who is that person next to you?"

"My friend, we just have similar interests and want to have a meal together."

Warren looked at the boy who was beaten to death next to him and asked: "Is this your friend?"

The beating was pretty bad. These brats didn't hold back when they hit him. He was almost beaten to death.

"Yes!"

"Is he from the Federation?"

"No, I really don't dare."

Warren looked carefully at the man next to Slo, and seeing his thin arms and legs, it was indeed not him.

He had seen the people from the Pious Union before. They seemed to have used some magic. They were all strong men who could fight two people at once. The man in front of him was a little thin.

"Did they really arrest the wrong person?"

"I really caught the wrong person." Si Luo nodded desperately, "Brother, I am wronged."

"This unlucky kid." Warren smacked his lips while supporting Slo. "Since they hit the wrong guy..."

Warren gave Slo a gentle push, sending him spinning like a top. "...Then let's make the best of it. Fight him again, but don't kill him. After that, send them all to Community Number Seven. Make up an excuse and say it was the other team that beat Slo like this first, to warn them."

Warren walked away nonchalantly with a smile on his face, wiping the blood off his brother's collar.

He ignored Slo's cries for mercy.

That's fine, he has other things to do.

Warren shuddered at the cold wind and returned to the dark room to add some dung leaves to the oil lamp.

……

One quiet day, Adele was handling her business when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Milin reported that a difficult guest had arrived.

Difficult customer.

Adele looked at the statue on the corner of the table and saw that it was motionless, so she put it in her pocket and went out to meet the guests.

This crow statue flew to Adele's window a week ago. At first glance, she recognized it as Noita's toy. Noita told her through the crow's mouth that she was in a faraway place and was doing something important.

If there are questions that need to be answered, she will tell you the answer through the crow.

In the hall, Adele met the guests.

They were two young men, one male and one female, wearing black military uniforms. They did not wear armor like the guards, but they had their own majestic demeanor.

Milin is entertaining them.

Seeing Adele coming, Milin stood up and introduced, "These two are auditors from the Earth Vein Audit Bureau. They are responsible for investigating the unreported consumption of earth vein power. Since I have already submitted the report, this is not illegal. I just need to pay the expenses."

Although drug-drowning, violence and commercial fraud are prohibited in Serkar, the investigation is not strict and they can easily get away with it.

What Serkar cannot tolerate is the unnecessary loss of earth vein power. This is the key power for cultivating nests and must not be lost excessively. In the Serkar area, every unit of earth vein power consumed will be monitored, and the Audit Bureau is responsible for monitoring, investigating and controlling the earth vein power.

This is a devilish department, as Milin said.

A difficult guest has arrived.

Chapter 113: Give Me Shelter

According to the commissioner of the Geo-audit Bureau, Community No. 7 has submitted a complete application, and they are now here to check the facilities used by the Pious Federation to ensure that they are not used for illegal purposes.

Adele entertained them calmly, secretly stuffed two bags of gold coins into their mouths, and then accompanied them underground.

When setting up the underground alchemical barrier, Milin informed Adele that she needed to obtain permission from the Audit Bureau. At the same time, through bribery, he learned the date when someone would come to inspect, so he covered up the underground shooting range in advance and replaced it with other training grounds.

The camouflage of the site was certainly not perfect, but with everything in place, the two commissioners simply carefully checked the requirements for the barrier and the earth vein power to confirm that they were consistent with what was filled in on the form.

They were indifferent to what the alchemical barrier was used for.

Soon, the inspection was over, Adele saw the two off, and Milin asked everyone to evacuate the underground disguise and announced that they could continue practicing today.

The message was passed on secretly, and in the afternoon, familiar gunshots echoed within the alchemy barrier.

Adele stroked the crow's back along the texture of its feathers, and the cool touch relaxed her brain.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

However, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingertips. He opened his eyes and saw the crow's eyes light up and it was combing its feathers vividly.

At the tip of her finger, a small pecked wound was oozing dark blood.

Adele said aggrievedly: "I just want to take a nap, please don't peck my hand."

"I just want to bite you." The crow asked slowly, "How is Moze's workshop going?"

"Most of it has been built. We invited a Shaper from the Path of Stone. He is proficient in Feng Shui and architecture and is very efficient. The workshop will be completed in another week." Adele reported to Noita.

"Very good." The crow looked up at Adele and remained silent for a few breaths.

For some reason, Adele read something close to a cold sigh in it, which instantly shattered the tranquility in her heart.

"So are you ready for the challenge?"

"Are there any enemies?!" Adele was immediately alert, gripping the exquisite rapier at her waist, but everything around her was peaceful. The words of the citizens floated over the snow, soothing her soul like a steaming hot dream.

It's safe here.

Her intuition told her so, and her guard relaxed slightly, but her hand still gripped the hilt of the sword.

Crow smiled, and after examining the girl who satisfied her, she said gently, "There's no danger right now. You just have a decision to make. Someone is coming. Listen to him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was broken down and Bess rushed in panting.
