In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The woman seemed to notice them and slowly turned her head.

His cold face was a bit chilly, and he was silently watching this side from a distance of dozens of meters.

The calm gaze seemed to pierce the entire space!

Even women have to admit that they feel a palpitation when they see the other person for the first time.

After several full breaths, she finally came back to her senses in surprise, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

There was a slight warmth on the back.

Something's wrong... This woman... gives her a wrong feeling!

The woman became alert instantly.

But what made her feel desperate was that her subordinates beside her seemed a little confused.

It’s not that they have lost the ability to think for themselves...in fact, they still remain calm.

But they no longer had the invincible elite aura they had when they first gathered.

In just a few moments, they were at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

"Hello."

Maria spoke calmly, then slowly moved to the sofa beside her and sat down gracefully.

Her calm demeanor made her seem like the master of the place.

The woman was silent for a while, then decisively put on a fake smile and sat quietly in front of Maria.

Behind her, the soldiers lined up in a row.

Behind Maria, there was only a servant dressed in lady's clothes and the infamous leader of the snow monster team.

"Hello..." She nodded and spoke first, "I am the mayor of Dosoles, Candela Sanchez."

"Maria, the current leader of Yharnam."

Maria did not mean to be overbearing. On the contrary, her words were very polite and sounded a little too calm.

It was completely unimaginable that such a person would forcefully enter Dosoles's territory without any prior notice.

This made Candela think for a moment that Maria would be an easy person to talk to.

But obviously, as the mayor of a volatile city, Candela would never use her feelings to negotiate.

Soon, she came to her senses and looked at Maria seriously.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Maria."

"Although it's a bit presumptuous to ask now, but...Yanan, which country are you from?"

This is the thing that Candela needs to confirm most, as it determines the nature of Yharnam's actions this time.

In her opinion, there were indeed many neutral organizations that did not belong to any country wandering around Terra, but it was obvious that no organization was capable of affording the transfer of a mobile platform.

As for the scale of Yharnam... although it cannot be called huge, it can be seen that it is not something that a simple neutral organization can build.

If it is a personal organization, then the first contact can still be used, and many processes are not clear and are vague.

And if the country is standing behind her... this is enough to be an excuse to declare war.

Things are already chaotic enough in Dosoles right now, and she doesn't want more trouble.

"We do not belong to any country, or rather, our leader is Ms. Maria."

On the side, the doll quietly explained to Maria.

She knew that Maria's straightforward nature did not suit her to negotiation, so this trip was mainly to let Maria act as a mascot.

Of course, if she is called a mascot, she is also the most capable mascot in the entire Yharnam, and also the most honorable person. So in this meeting, she and Froststar stood at the back, and only Maria could sit.

"Personal organization?"

“You can understand it this way.”

"That really surprised me." Candela didn't say much, she just smiled for a while.

Does it really matter that Maria has a backer?

It doesn't matter to her, she just needs an answer.

Whether the backer is there or not does not have much impact.

As long as Maria is an individual organization, many things will be easy to discuss.

"I'm delighted to be meeting more friends I haven't met before during this celebratory holiday. Honestly, your initial actions did make us quite nervous, but since this was our first encounter, we understand... For the sake of our collective good, I'd like to ask, on behalf of Dosoles, if you have any suitable trade items prepared?"

"I won't let you down."

The puppet leaned forward slightly and took out a small box.

With the box opened.

A piece of yellow ore appeared in front of everyone.

The soldiers on the side suddenly became tense and subconsciously wanted to move forward to surround their leader.

But Candela was very calm at this time.

She waved her hand, stopping the soldiers behind her from protecting her. After turning around to confirm that it was okay, she carefully lifted the box and looked at the raw stone inside...

Then...

Her pupils suddenly shrank!

Extremely high... even ridiculously high.

Even artificially refined source stones are extremely difficult to reach this level.

With just a simple judgment, Candela could determine that this thing was extremely luxurious even as a fuel.

It's only the size of a fist, but the energy it provides is equivalent to several tons of source stone ore they bought from other places!

It’s that big, enough to power an entire area for an hour!

Not to mention the contrast in pollution produced between the two.

"You plan to use this as a commodity?"

Candela took a deep breath, then raised her head with a serious look.

When it comes to energy, there is no such thing as being unable to take action.

Especially such a pure source stone... Even among the purest source stones refined, it is considered to be the top quality.

But that's not the point.

How many of these things does Yanan have!

“The number may be more than you imagine.”

The puppet was standing aside, speaking softly and neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a calm look that showed no sign of joking.

"Perhaps you underestimated Dosoles's purchasing power." Candela smiled when she heard the doll's words.

Although Dos Soares cannot compare with those real commercial centers, as a huge tourist city, the profits generated here each year account for almost one-tenth of the Bolivar!

In a country, one-tenth of the tax revenue comes from one city.

You can see how prosperous this place is.

It can be said that if they want, they can expand Dosoles a few more times to meet the needs.

It was only because of certain business needs that they chose not to expand.

That's why she was somewhat dismissive of the doll's statement.

But the doll just narrowed its eyes and smiled softly.

"maybe……"

Chapter 246 Maria and the Jellyfish

"Ms. Candela? Ms. Candela!"

In the office, the girl in cool clothes called out a few times, waking the other person from his confusion.

Looking at the other person's slightly dazed expression, Chen Huijie felt a little helpless.

In such a short meeting, she was distracted more than a dozen times. To be honest, she even doubted whether her so-called vacation was real.

Why do I feel like the other party doesn’t take me seriously?

"Ah, sorry."

Candela felt a little helpless when the little dragon girl in front of her called her back to her senses.

In her mind, the scene Maria showed her not long ago was still lingering.

Almost a mountain of high-purity source stone.

Even though she was not as knowledgeable as a professional in this area, she could visually feel with her naked eyes how terrifying the energy was hidden under the huge pit.

Seriously speaking, once those Originium stones are activated and detonated, there won't be even a piece of intact flat land in the entire Dosores!

And these were just the tip of the iceberg, which made her a little unbelievable.

What's even more unbelievable is that the price Maria offered is just the same as for ordinary Originium ore...

what does this mean?

This means that they can purchase dozens or even hundreds of times more energy at the original price in one go!

This is something that is hard to imagine even in dreams.

But that's what happened.

According to Maria, these things are just byproducts extracted when their city is running, and they are considered garbage...

The strong sense of gap made her unable to forget it for a long time.

The only pity was that she couldn't find out from the other party where their operating technology came from.

But that's enough.

That's why she couldn't help but get distracted when meeting the girl in front of her.

Because she really couldn't imagine what huge profits those pure source stones would bring once they were in her hands.

It's like a dream...

"I have a general understanding of your situation, nephew... We have arranged a guide for you. I hope you can have a good time during this activity."

As Candela spoke, she rubbed her brows, her emotions fluctuating a little unnaturally.

Chen Huijie naturally noticed this unnaturalness. As a former Longmen police inspector, she also frowned slightly.

But compared to these...

"What do you mean by you...?"

Chen Huijie was a little hesitant.

Is she here alone this time? She has no companions.

To this, the woman just smiled.

"Not only you, Longmen also sent someone here..."

"There's another person? Shi Huaiya?"

Chen Huijie was stunned for a moment, but asked a question after a moment.

When Shi Huaiya was in Longmen, she was also an important figure in the Guard Bureau. After she resigned, she was the most likely person to take the position.

"Do not……"

Candela shook her head.

"So... Star Bear?"

Although Xingxiong's identity is a bit problematic, her ability to handle things has always been obvious to all. She was sent here... although it is a bit strange, it is understandable.

"Not at all."
