They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

Jiude Mai tried to describe all this in a calm tone, but Su Enxi's next words were like a sharp knife that pierced her heart:

"You're not being overly empathetic, you're seeing yourself in her!"

Su Enxi understood Jude Mai's mentality. Jude Mai regarded herself as the boss's "sword" and a tool. Ever since she signed a contract with her boss, she regarded the boss's tasks as the meaning of her survival.

To a certain extent, Jude Mai didn't want to be abandoned by her boss, and Nono didn't want to be abandoned by the person who took her away.

"I understand your mentality, but what should I say? Let go of your compulsion to help others and respect their fate... Oh no, just obey the fate arranged by the boss. Maybe the boss has other considerations and will let this Nono be taken away by a kind-hearted person?"

Su Enxi shook her head. She and Jiude Mai had different mindsets.

She, the accounting maid, may seem like an employee, but in fact she is the boss's partner. She makes money when the boss asks her to, and does whatever the boss asks her to do. But if the boss wants to terminate the contract with her one day, she doesn't have to hang herself or jump off a cliff to commit suicide.

Tangcheng, Zhou family.

Zhou Yuxuan directed a team of workers to clean up the traces left by the performance match between Emiya and Lao Tang and repave the road with a smooth surface.

The entire Tang City covers millions of square meters, and the damage done by Wei Gong and Old Tang is barely a drop in the bucket. Even though the land here is incredibly expensive due to the Zhou family, that small loss pales in comparison to the resulting gains.

"Yuxuan, it's been a while since we last met. How come you've lost so much weight?"

A big bearded man in a long gown came towards them. His muscular arms and pectoral muscles seemed big enough for a horse to ride. Zhou Yuxuan looked so skinny that he looked like a bean sprout compared to them.

Zhou Yuxuan had seen this man before. The big man was Wu Jianhong, the head of the Wu family. However, in terms of their relationship, it was only during the holidays when the families visited each other. He stayed behind the head of the Wa family and saw them from afar. The two of them could not say a word to each other. Zhou Yuxuan was not qualified to interact with the heads of other families alone, but the situation now was very different.

Ever since Lord Wa sent the video of the performance match between Emiya and the other two to several noble families, the noble families' attitudes immediately changed 180 degrees, and they sent people to ask to see Lord Wa.

Lord Wa was annoyed by the nagging and waved his hand, saying that he was busy and would not see her anymore. So they all turned their guns around and tried to curry favor with his attendant.

Chapter 39 Crane Wings Double Company

Zhou Yuxuan knew the reason for their change of attitude. It was simply because after seeing the performance of Emiya and the other two, he finally confirmed that the magic circuit was not only feasible, but could also go far.

I originally thought that joining forces to reap the Chen family would be the biggest deal, but now I feel that my previous thinking was too conservative and led to my misjudgment.

In other words, Zhou Yuxuan is very strict in his dealings with others and will not send people away just because he is impatient. Otherwise, the aristocratic families would not dare to approach him and get close to him.

"I am returning to the Wu family as the head of the family. I am in good health, and Master Wa is also in good spirits and full of energy."

Wu Jianhong laughed heartily and slapped Zhou Yuxuan's back with great force, making a thumping sound like beating a drum. "Hey, Yuxuan, I heard something happened at the Three Kings' Tomb a while ago. You were rescued by your new chief historian back then, right?"

Zhou Yuxuan's heart moved slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Thank you for your concern, Master Wu. It's just that the people below can't control their mouths and are gossiping. The Chief Secretary is a talent personally valued by Lord Wa. Perhaps there are people who like to create public opinion behind the scenes."

"The new chief secretary of the Zhou family, I wonder which disciple he is." Wu Jianhong had not given up yet, and almost named and investigated the details of Wei Gong.

Zhou Yuxuan knew that in the eyes of Lord Wa, Wei Gong was almost a forbidden delicacy, and these aristocratic families would not allow him to get involved. And Wei Gong also did not want to be entangled in trivial matters. If he relaxed his guard, the aristocratic families' huge spies would stick to him like a dog-skin plaster.

"The head of the Wu family should wait patiently. On the day of the agreed action, he will naturally be able to see the style of the Chief Secretary."

Seeing the dark sky in the distance, which was almost dusk, Zhou Yuxuan thought about what the Lord Wa had said. He bowed and said seriously:

"Master Wu, instead of insisting on fruitless inquiries, why should we seriously consider why Master Wa is willing to share this new path of magic with all of you noble families? In other words, why did she only choose those she knows well? You must know that even with the strictest blockade, news will spread inside and outside, eventually reaching all the kingdoms."

When the day comes when the secret can no longer be concealed, there will be more than just them coming.

The smile on Wu Jianhong's bearded face disappeared. "Yuxuan, do you have something to teach me?"

"I dare not give you any advice, it's just a small suggestion... Master Wu, Master Wa may feel that our family's voice is not loud enough today, and some people are too annoying, such as Gattuso, who the Chen family has hooked up with, and Cassell..."

The nominal responsibilities of the Shenzhou aristocratic families have always been to deal with local dragon incidents and strictly prevent the influx of foreign hybrid forces... However, over the years, the aristocratic families have been conservative. Not only has a large amount of dragon blood and dragon treasures been lost, but hybrid forces represented by the Secret Party have also emerged. Cassel even opened a preparatory branch in Shenzhou, recruiting a large number of wild hybrid students from there every year.

In fact, the descendants of the Black King in this part of Shenzhou have become an important source of students for Kassel, and the aristocratic families have almost given up on running this business.

Lord Wa feels that the magic system is an opportunity, an opportunity to change the status quo.

Wu Jianhong seemed to realize something. His beard trembled twice, and the thick muscles in his arms tensed up for a moment. He bowed solemnly to Zhou Yuxuan, "Master Wa... you are really courageous..."

After the ceremony, Zhou Yuxuan turned around calmly, his back to Wu Jianhong as he walked away, intending to continue following up on the work he was responsible for. "Yes, so, I hope the head of the Wu family can also show some courage."

This was a battle of sides, a complete reshuffle of power. The Bai family had already made their choice, and as for the remaining few, the wise aristocratic families must have already made the right choice in their hearts.

"After all, you don't want your family to become the next Chen family, right?"

----

whoosh-

The sharp weapon cut through the air with a sharp sound, and two cold lights shot out from the shadows like poisonous snakes.

"Hey, I'm hiding!"

Old Tang now thought of himself as a genius with a lot of training, so he did a very coquettish spin and jump with his eyes closed, and the aura of the ancient sword passed by him.

Ping——!

A black and a white bronze dagger crossed each other on both sides of Old Tang, and rubbed against the solid road surface rapidly. Only a sharp and piercing sound was heard. The road surface that was rubbed by the sword was actually cut neatly. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, and smoke was curling up.

"Old Tang! Be careful with this!" Emiya's voice came from a distance, followed by a new pair of black and white swords.

The black and white swords spun rapidly in the air, making a buzzing sound as they broke through the air. Their light trajectory was like a wisp of gossamer in mid-air.

As they approached, the two black and white swords that Old Tang had just dodged began to spin and dance dangerously, like assassins swooping down again.

So two sets of husband and wife swords, a total of four short swords, began to block Lao Tang's evasive route from different directions such as front, back, left and right!

"Damn it! You really shouldn't try this again. Next time, Old Tang might break my arms and legs!"

Old Tang's mind was working at high speed, nervously sensing the flying direction of the Husband and Wife Sword - Gan Jiang and Moye.

The next moment, he made an incredible move, leaning back sharply while stretching his legs and feet like a bow. The two swords in the left and right directions collided with a ping and landed in front of his chest, but the two swords in the front and back directions unfortunately only slightly grazed his trouser legs...

With a scratch, the Patagonia sweatpants that Lao Tang had just bought were torn into two neat sections.

"Don't worry, there's no more. The Crane Wing Double Link of two pairs of swords is already the limit."

Emiya came over and put away Gan Jiang and Moye. He had not practiced any other projections during this period, but just focused on practicing the projection of Gan Jiang and Moye, which was what Red A was best at. His hard work paid off, and he finally made the projected Gan Jiang and Moye have the characteristic of mutual attraction.

His training goal was to exploit this trait and develop a three-hit combo of Crane Wings that would be extremely difficult for the enemy to dodge. By the way... he could also help Old Tang train his supercomputing brain.

However, Red A's Crane Wing Triple Combo relied on his ability to see through his opponent's movements and his experience, unleashing three pairs of Gan Jiang and Moye's unavoidable moves. However, his current experience and skills were still only at the level of the Crane Wing Double Combo.

Old Tang dusted off the dust with a frown on his face. He felt that his recent training was very tough. He had finally hooked up with the wealthy Zhou family and his wallet gradually became fatter. He also bought a few sets of branded clothes, but in the end, all his money was gone. His good brother said that this way he could sweat more and bleed less during missions, so he started the internal competition mode. He felt embarrassed to say that he actually couldn't help but want to lie down and play StarCraft, wasting his unique magic talent.

Old Tang was lost in thought when he suddenly saw Zhou Yuxuan walking towards him and Emiya.

"Lord Wa has requested that, according to the latest intelligence from the 'Trio', there have been unusual movements within the Chen family. Our operation is about to begin."

Chapter 40 Old Tang Never Gets Lost

In the main hall, Jude Mai and Ling from the trio had already arrived and were given seats by the Wa Lord.

"I guess you're probably wondering why Potato Chips didn't come. As for the reason... she said she's a civilian and only involved in planning, not in the action."

——Anyway, Su Enxi could only command from behind the scenes when she was acting before. This time she was going to work with the people from the aristocratic family. She thought that a figure like Lord Wa would never hand over the command power of his own family, so she simply lay down and indulged in drinking.

As he spoke, Jiude Mai spread his hands towards Wazhu and the others.

"..." Wazhu frowned. "Don't you guys have a little bit of contractual respect when it comes to cooperative business? Since you can command on the spot, can't you also contribute? Coincidentally, the other members of the aristocratic families surrounding the Chen family manor are short of a leader. Will she take on this job?"

"Okay, then I'll offer my condolences in advance to the potato chip girl who worked overtime during her vacation."

Jiude Mai agreed on Su Enxi's behalf and tricked his friend while chatting and laughing.

Her legs were raised high and slender, tightly wrapped in tight combat uniforms, and the overlapping of her two long legs formed a surprisingly beautiful line, attracting men's attention. If she became an art model, all the art students in the classroom would have to plug their nostrils before they could paint.

Zero next to her looked even more serious and dignified, with her pretty, frosty face slightly raised, revealing the cold and noble aura of a polar princess. Unfortunately, her figure was obviously much smaller, which simply lowered her aura. If she stood up straight, she might not be as tall as the suitcase handle. Therefore, when she sat on the high chair, her two white little feet were dangling in the air.

When Emiya and Old Tang entered the hall, Jiude Mai naturally waved to Emiya and smiled warmly: "Hi, Young Master Emiya!"

Seeing this, Zero also turned his gaze to Emiya and nodded.

"Hmm?... Hello." The moment Emiya greeted them, he felt the low pressure coming from around Wa. He wondered in his heart that he had only met the trio once. Was he very familiar with that Jude Mai?

On the contrary, Old Tang, who had originally looked gloomy, immediately became energetic after seeing the two beauties. He came over to say hello confidently, and at the same time tried to get close to them and ask for their contact information while raising his eyebrows.

Jiude Mai ignored him. She cast a slightly disdainful glance at him. Old Tang's twisting legs were still dangling from his ripped sweatpants, like some kind of performance art. She turned to Ling and whispered, "Did he come here specifically to make a fool of himself?"

"No, maybe he's playing himself." His words were blunt and cold, like a public sentencing.

The blow struck Old Tang's face once again faded. He hunched his legs, his heart sullen, and he could only lick his wounds in silence, trying to comfort himself. He thought to himself, "There are always women out there, and a true man has ambitions everywhere." It's okay to encounter setbacks in picking up girls, but you can't give up the whole forest for the sake of one or two trees...

Old Tang here was daydreaming, while everyone over there was caught up in an intensive action meeting discussion.

"The latest intelligence indicates they're planning to transfer valuable equipment and data from the research facility in that park to some unknown location...possibly even overseas. They've been organizing and coordinating the process recently, and the estimated transfer time is the day after tomorrow. We must complete the entire operation by tomorrow at the latest."

Jude Mai reveals the information she stole.

"This action...did the Chen family notice anything?"

"Who knows? But their reaction was certainly nervous. It seems the temporary allies, the Gattuso family, haven't shown a close alliance, and haven't given the Chen family much of a sense of security... Or perhaps, Gattuso isn't happy being dragged into the conflict between your Shenzhou families."

"Tomorrow night will be enough time for the noble families to coordinate their joint operations." Wazhu nodded at the timetable. "Do you have information on the specific building structure and personnel allocation of the Chen family campus?"

Jiude Mai threw out a stack of documents. "Except for those with a high confidentiality level, most of the others are quite detailed... First of all, all the companies and institutions in this park are funded by the Chen family, and a large part of the employees are ordinary people who are unaware of this."

"Fortunately, in order to consolidate and transport those items that couldn't be seen by others at night, and to prevent ordinary people from wandering around and accidentally discovering them, the Chen family made up an excuse and ordered all ordinary employees of the company to go home at a certain time."

"They will also give all employees three days off starting tomorrow, with triple pay during the holiday... Employees who remain at the company without permission will be forcibly expelled and fined."

"——Yes, it does make our movements much easier."

"Well, next are the areas unrelated to ordinary people. From my observations these past few days, I've found that their strict surveillance and signal shielding are concentrated in these few places. The common feature among them is that they all have supporting logistics and storage buildings."

"But I had Potato Chips investigate and compare the inventory list with personnel transfer records. We discovered that the others were just smokescreens. Only one had issues with frequent dispatches and imported supplies... As for the Chen family's suppliers in South America and Japan, we've already confirmed that they're backed by mixed-blood forces, so they're highly suspected."

"...Let's take a look at the specifics of this location. The main buildings are a large medical research institute, a testing and inspection center, and a logistics warehouse... We can't rule out underground structures, but they're difficult to infiltrate..."

"From the surface architectural plan, it appears to be a semi-enclosed 'garden within a garden' structure, with two entrances and exits, one at the medical facility and the other at the warehouse. To achieve maximum results, you must at least split your forces into two groups."

Jiude Mai finished speaking and spread his hands. "According to my speculation, if the Chen family really does keep Deadpool, judging by the number of containers and shipping documents, it's probably a large scale, so the commotion it would cause would be quite big."

Wazhu's reaction was indifferent. "Other families will be responsible for handling matters such as blockades and interceptions."

"Oh, great! A large organization is a good thing. For someone like us, with only me and the Three Wus, we can't really be considered combat-ready. We're barely good enough for infiltration, but we're not good enough for a frontal assault. And there's also a potato chip who only has money."

Jiude Mai praised the Zhou family very conspicuously, and did not forget to sigh in a self-deprecating manner, "Alas, what a small group."

"This is how I've arranged the combat personnel. Take a look."

Emiya picked up the list of Wa's action team members. He and Lao Tang were respectively the "main output" in one team, and the "secondary output" were Jude Mai, Ling, and several members of the Zhou family. In addition, there were defenders, scouts, and so on.

"This... Old Tang actually took on such a big responsibility?"

In Emiya's opinion, although Old Tang is now smart and has a lot of firepower, he is still a person with poor direction, and he used to be an amnesiac. He also occasionally gives some funny and funny surprises.

Is it reliable? I don’t think it’s entirely reliable.

Old Tang, having regained his composure, retorted forcefully, "Brother, how could you possibly distrust me? Old Tang, I've made a comeback and can be of great use! Then, I'll use my masterful rage magic to send you flying!"

"If you can live up to my trust...will you swear to ensure that you won't fall behind and get lost?"

"How difficult is this? How could I, Old Tang, get lost in such a small place? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Old Tang is full of confidence.

Chapter 41 Who understands this?

It's a dark and windy night, and the joint operation is underway.

In the corporate park invested by the Chen family, teams of armed personnel were urgently mobilized to help their employer move these seemingly disorganized and scattered but top-secret materials and equipment.

During these days, although they were mixed-race armed personnel, they continued to run around for a long time doing these heavy physical tasks like hard laborers, simply because ordinary employees with insufficient authority were not qualified to access these confidential information.

"Area 3 has been cleared, Area 3 has been cleared!"

"Team A needs five more people. Be careful when moving this imported equipment. Don't accidentally bump into it and break it!"

"Hey, you guys over there, I told you to take a break, not just sit there all the time! We need to get rid of them all by tomorrow at the latest. If we can't keep up, are you able to shoulder the responsibility?"

The basement of this medical institution was filled with cold and damp air, the kind of place that wouldn't look out of place even if haunted in the middle of the night. However, the Chen family members directed everyone to climb up and down and move things around, creating a lively atmosphere.

The strong and powerful mixed-race subordinates did not dare to ask why they were busy all night long. They just worked for the overtime pay and did what was appropriate for their position. They should not ask questions that were not necessary for matters that were of concern to the higher-ups.
