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

Maria gave a barely perceptible smile and explained the truth of the matter.

Chen did talk in her sleep last night, but she didn't suck anything. She said that just to tease the serious and depressed-looking girl.

after all……

"You are such a nasty woman."

Chen was ashamed and angry. He looked at Maria who seemed to be smiling in front of him and made his own evaluation through gritted teeth.

But Maria seemed satisfied with this.

"I don't like to hide my emotions too much... Maybe it's necessary in certain situations, but in today's life, I think it's okay to express more."

"But what you just said was just a simple prank, right?" Chen angrily ate the meat bun in front of him with a dissatisfied look on his face.

But Maria could only smile, and her voice suddenly softened.

"Just teasing you."

"Gu..."

Chen's face turned red again.

Chapter 61: Commission from Rhodes Island

Breakfast time passed quickly.

After breakfast, Chen left.

On the one hand, she also learned from Maria that Xingxiong had completely misunderstood the relationship between the two... Although Maria didn't care about this, and Chen knew that Xingxiong was not a big-mouthed person, she was still uneasy.

She wanted to explain to Xingxiong what exactly happened.

On the other hand, it was because she was still a little confused.

Logically speaking, as a member of the special operations team, if Xingxiong received any emergency orders, then as the leader of the special operations team, it is impossible that he did not receive the order.

In other words, there must be someone who bypassed her authority and arranged tasks for other people... Although this is just a guess, Chen still wants to confirm it, otherwise she will not feel at ease.

As for Maria...

She needs to go to work.

The emperor only gave them two days of vacation, and by now, they had almost finished their rest... To be honest, Maria was very confused about the arrangement of having two days of vacation when she had only been working for half a day, but considering the other party's carefree character, she didn't say much.

Maria walked out of the room and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, squinting her eyes silently.

……

"Ah, Miss Maria is here?"

"Good morning, how was your rest?"

"Ouch, all the croissant goods are gone... Ouch..."

As soon as she entered Penguin Logistics, Maria saw several young girls.

Exia is still lively, and the Texas look has become much more natural.

The only one who was feeling lost was Croissant, who was staring at the croissant.

At this moment, she was squatting on the ground, chewing a croissant pitifully.

This made Maria a little confused.

The Archangel on the side gave a considerate explanation.

"Maria, don't worry about the croissants. She was caught selling all her goods at a night market yesterday. All her goods were three-no products. She was fined a lot of money and she's really upset now~"

"That's outrageous, Angel. Those aren't three-no products. They're legitimate products that Croissant bought from vendors. They have some minor flaws and can't be sold as legitimate merchandise, but everything else is fine. I've also explained the problem to Croissant."

"That's against the rules. After all, these are defective products that can't be sold, and you're brazenly selling them."

"Where there is demand, there is a market. I am just satisfying those who have needs!"

"Yes~yes~"

Exiah comforted Croissant perfunctorily, then turned his head curiously to look at Texas and Maria who were talking over there.

Yesterday, she and Croissant also followed Texas and Maria, wanting to see what was going on between the two of them.

But unfortunately, they had no idea what was going on. After Kong left, Maria and Texas also left.

When they caught up with them again, both of them had disappeared.

There was no other way, so they had to temporarily suspend their tracking operations.

But even so, the Archangel was still curious.

What is the relationship between these two people?

After comforting the pitiful croissant a few times, Texas on the side called everyone over and announced today's mission.

"Our guest today is Rhodes Island. According to the instructions of our client, Kal'tsit, Rhodes Island will contact Longmen today. We will then go to them and follow the instructions of their contact to deliver the goods."

Texas arranges today's tasks.

On the other side, Exiah held the back of his head with his hands, showing a curious expression.

"Hey~ Rhodes Island, that strange organization?"

"It's just as you think. Exiah is the Rhodes Island... Incidentally, this mission was given by the Emperor. In other words, Kal'tsit went directly to the Emperor to fill out the form. The Emperor gave us this mission, which probably means he takes it very seriously."

"Absolutely not, Texas, you're just thinking too much. The Emperor doesn't care about anything. He must have arranged for us to do it because he thought it would be more fun." Exiah teased Texas with a smile.

Texas didn't say much, but just turned his head and looked at Maria who was sitting quietly on the sofa with her legs crossed.

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Texas' voice was stable. Although it was still strange, at least he no longer had the weird intonation as before.

A lot more natural.

Of course, despite this, the respect for Maria revealed in his words was no less.

"…Rhodes Island, what is it?"

Maria was a little confused.

Judging from the tone of Exia and Texas, this Rhodes Island seems to be a very famous organization?

But unfortunately, such things as current affairs were not mentioned in the encyclopedia Maria read, so naturally she didn't know what Rhodes Island was.

"Hmm... If I must say, Rhodes Island is actually a borderless medical institution, independent of Terra, with its own mobile base. It's led by a girl named Amiya. They claim to be protecting the rights of those infected and want to completely eliminate the existence of Originium disease. They have also done some infamous things... But overall, it's just a large organization, not on the level of a mobile city-state."

Texas explained.

Maria nodded silently.

"Rhodes Island...?"

"So our mission today is to find the other party's contact, take the goods from them, and deliver them to the location they specify?"

Maria said.

"That's right... But we're not sure where to send it to, or what to do with it. The Emperor hasn't told us yet..."

Texas nodded, but a look of helplessness also appeared on his face.

Obviously, she was also a little helpless about the penguin that did whatever it wanted.

But they are just a group of employees after all. Since the boss has issued an order, they have no reason not to accept it.

After arranging some accompanying supplies, everyone set off.

Along the way, everyone was silent.

The seating arrangement remained the same as before, with Maria sitting in the passenger seat, Texas driving, and Croissant and Exia resting in the back, preparing for the battle that might break out at any time.

Everything was normal, nothing seemed wrong.

After a while, Maria sighed.

"Miss Texas?"

"Um……"

"There shouldn't be anything inappropriate about me...right?"

"You're the same as always."

"Then why do you keep peeking at me and not say anything?"

Maria was a little confused.

Although the last communication was not completed, judging by Texas's expression, the awkwardness between everyone should have been resolved. How come it turned into this furtive peeping look again?

Texas is also a bit embarrassed.

After hesitating for a while, she spoke hesitantly.

"Is your wound...healed?"

"Wound?"

Maria was a little confused.

Chapter 62 Broken Bones

What wounds do you have on your body?

Maria was a little confused.

On the side, Texas was helping Maria recall.

"That one... the one that pierced your shoulder..."

"Oh, you mean this?"

Maria slowly took off her confidant's clothes, revealing one side of her shoulder.

But Texas became extremely panicked at this time.

Her instinct told her not to look, but deep down she wanted to see it very much.

The key is……

I'm still driving the car!

"The wound means nothing to me... The moment it was pulled out, it actually healed."

After showing Texas the joint at the shoulder, Maria put her clothes back on.

His calm eyes still didn't know where to look.

"So you don't have to worry at all..."

"...No, it's not just that." Texas was also worried when he heard about Maria's safety.

But after hesitating for a while, she shook her head and spoke seriously.

"I'm worried that you might be infected with Originium disease."

Longmen is strict with patients with Originium disease, but this does not mean that patients with Originium disease can live well in other places.

Across the entire Terra continent, all those infected with Originium disease can be said to be excluded.

Some places even don't consider the infected as their own kind... In comparison, Longmen's simple differential treatment can be considered preferential treatment.

The infected are a group of people with no protection at all.

That's why Texas was worried that Maria was infected with Originium disease, and it was at this time that he asked about it.

"After yesterday... have you gone for a checkup?"

"examine?"

Maria looked confused.

On the side, Texas also nodded.

"Just go to the hospital for a checkup... I remember this checkup was very cheap in Longmen, almost free."

"A blood test? I won't do that test."
