Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

"It's decided, let's go shopping first!"

"Buy something?"

"You need to change all your clothes. I'm sending you to keep order, how can you go in like this?"

If possible, Mulsey would prefer Gald to wear Rhine Lab's uniform, but they don't have any clothes suitable for Gald here.

"That probably won't work."

"Sigh, why?"

“I am here because two local Waifan people rescued me. I have agreed to go with them to the police station and the bank. I need a new identity document and some cash that I can use.”

"Isn't this simple?"

Mulsay took a picture of Gard with his mobile phone.

Then I made a phone call.

"...Yes, yes, that's it. Please help me process this gentleman's identity information. Of course, he's not a suspicious person. Your security department should have his identity information recorded."

After making the call, Mulce tossed a card to Gard.

"There are 100,000 Salgon vouchers here. It's not much, but it should be enough for you for now. I've already spoken to the police chief, and he'll help you get your identification. We can just stop by the garrison after we finish shopping."

"Does Rhine Life have a partnership with the police force in Mellon City?"

"I only sold them some medicine, at 50 percent lower than the market price. The beach umbrella vendors couldn't afford that price."

"With prices this low, is there still a profit to be made?"

"Of course, what do you think our cost is? Three percent."

As Mulce was speaking, she suddenly realized what was happening and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, actually, don't be fooled by our low costs; our initial development costs are high. It's just that we need minerals from Mellon City to make some of our potions, so we have to maintain a certain share here to avoid being monopolized. It's a win-win situation."

As she spoke, Mulseth pushed Gard outside.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go buy some clothes. Even if you look decent enough, if you don't dress up properly, no matter how handsome you are, people will still think you're a country bumpkin."

Am I handsome?

"Hmm, he's barely passing. He's far from being my boyfriend."

Who wants to be your boyfriend?

Gard was about to say that, but he ran right into Razer and Darina.

The two had been sitting in Rhine Life’s reception room.

“Mr. Gard, we were just looking for you.”

Darlina glanced at Gard, then at Mulsey behind Gard.

"she is?"

"I am Mulsey, the head of the Ecology Department of Rhine Life Sciences. Are you saying that you were the ones who saved Mr. Gard?"

Mulce wore a businesslike smile.

"Thank you all... Hey, what are you doing?"

Gard pressed down on Mulsey's head to stop her from speaking.

"Miss Darina, Miss Razer, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. You saved me before, and I haven't been able to say thank you yet. If you don't mind, could you show me around Mellon City?"

"Ah, of course..."

Darlina's eyes widened halfway through her sentence.

"Mr. Gard, can you speak now?"

Razer noticed it even earlier than Darina, but her attention wasn't on Gard, but rather casually glanced at Mulsey beside Gard.

"Yes, Director Muse helped me heal my throat injury."

"So it was an injury, not..."

Darlina initially wanted to say that Gard was mute, but then she thought that it would be inappropriate to say that.

But how could there be such a perfect person in the world who is handsome, strong, young, and rich, with no flaws?

Darlina looked at the Razer beside her with some envy, but found that Razer's mood was not high. She felt as if she had encountered a Cinderella and Prince Charming story.

However, after glancing at Mulsey beside Gard, he then looked at Razer.

The difference seems quite significant.

After all, one side was the director of the Department of Ecology at Rhine Life Sciences, while the other was just an unknown mercenary; they were not on the same level at all.

Not to mention, that woman named Mulsey, I don't know if she was Liberi or some other race, was really beautiful.

If only her breasts and buttocks weren't so small, she would be perfect.

Yes, we didn't lose!

Darlina glanced at Razer's chest and buttocks, then looked at Mulsey's sparse figure, and nodded solemnly.

Fortunately, Gard couldn't read minds, otherwise he would have liked to pry open the little girl's skull to see what was inside; he had no such thoughts at all.

Mulsay, however, noticed something amiss.

Is this Waifan girl targeting me as a competitor?

Please, I don't like this bastard crocodile man.

However, her reserve as the head of the Rhine Life Ecology Department prevented her from immediately getting far away from Gard. If she did, wouldn't she seem guilty?

"Let's go buy clothes and browse the supermarket. To be honest, I haven't had a chance to go to the supermarket since I came here. The snacks I brought from Colombia are almost gone!"

"Director Muse, do you also like to eat snacks?"

“Miss Darina, you’re a local, do you know what good food there is? Preferably something like candy.”

"If it's candy, I recommend Swoma Skittles, which are a popular snack recently."

"Where are my cosmetics? The weather here is so dry, I feel like I'm about to be dried out."

"..."

Mulce was an extroverted person, and although it was unclear whether this extroversion was genuine or feigned, she quickly became friends with Darlina, a local Vayvan.

Seeing the two chatting animatedly, Gard looked at Razer and asked, "Razer, what about you? Is there anything you want to buy?"

"......I have no idea."

Razer rarely goes to supermarkets because most of the large supermarkets are located in the city center, where prices are generally very high.

“Is that so? But if you go to Colombia, you can’t go without knowing these things. Consider it a trial run.”

"Oh, Miss Razer, would you like to go to Colombia?"

Muse looked over and quickly understood what Gard meant.

"If you don't mind, you can come with our convoy back. For Gard's sake, we'll only charge you half price."

Half price?

Mulsey's words piqued Razer's interest.

If Millseth said it was free, Razer would definitely refuse, but half price...

"I see."

Razer was determined that if she could save half the travel expenses, her life in Colombia would be much more comfortable, and she wouldn't have to live so frugally.

"However, is Ms. Razer going to Colombia to study or to find a job? If it's to find a job...?"

Gard interrupted Mulsay.

"Razer, you're probably thinking of joining Blacksteel International, aren't you?"

How did you know?

Razer was taken aback. She had never told anyone her thoughts before, not even Darina knew about them.

"I saw the job posting on your desk."

Gard smiled apologetically, but his next words made Razer's heart tighten.

"However, with your current strength, it will still be quite difficult for you to enter Black Steel International."

It's not that Gard wants to defeat Razer, but Razer's current strength is at most slightly stronger than an ordinary person, and completely falls short of the minimum standard for a security personnel.

At least that's how it seems to Gard.

"Razer hasn't even interviewed her yet, how do you know she's not a good candidate?"

Darlina was displeased upon hearing Gard's words, but as soon as she spoke, she realized the gravity of the situation.

Now, Gard is no longer the penniless Adaklis who they rescued; he is now a partner of Rhine Life and a big shot.

Gard wasn't angry; on the contrary, he should be happy for Razer to have such a good friend.

"I only said it's difficult, not that it's impossible to pass. Just becoming a little stronger will definitely increase the chances of passing."

What do you mean?

"I mean, if Razer doesn't mind, I can help train her from now on."

A smile appeared on Gard's face.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite strong."

......

Chapter Nine: The Axe Returns

Although Rhine Life only has a temporary base in Mellon City, there is a fairly large training ground there. Once it was decided, Gard could help train Razer whenever he had time.

It wasn't a whim; Gard had decided from the beginning to help Razer.

She also helped him, but unlike Darina, who was the young lady of a small family, Razer's life was much more difficult. To realize his dream, he was destined to put in a lot of effort.

Life's journey is long, and while Gard can't watch over Razer forever, he can accompany her through this most difficult part.

The young Vaiva girl did not yet understand how precious the guidance of a Celestial Warrior with exceptional combat skills truly was.

She was currently accompanying Gard to a clothing store, where the young female tailor who was taking measurements was practically drooling over Gard's tall and imposing figure.

The seamstress really wanted to get Gard's contact information, but when she saw that the girls behind Gard were all very beautiful, she could only sigh helplessly.

"No wonder he has three girlfriends. Those monster-like things, ordinary people definitely couldn't stand them."

The seamstress muttered to herself, recalling the bulge she had seen when she measured Gard's waistband.

There are quite a few large Wayvans in Mellon, although there are almost none as small as Gard, but there are still some around two meters tall.

If the clothes that are suitable for these big guys are modified to be wider, Gard should be able to wear them.

It will definitely be very tight, and it's best to avoid strenuous exercise.

Because Muse was willing to pay more, the seamstress put aside her other work and focused all her efforts on helping Gard finish his garment.

About an hour later, a brand new suit was ready.

The group also went to the supermarket in the middle of the trip.

"Mulce, do you really want me to wear this?"

Gard frowned as he looked at the black suit in front of him. He was willing to bet that if he raised his hand even slightly too forcefully, the suit would be ruined immediately.

"Alright, alright, I already told you you don't need to fight. It's just for an afternoon. I can bring you back tomorrow to have a brand new one made."

Upon hearing Mulseath's words, Gard reluctantly entered the dressing room, but because he was too big, the dressing room couldn't fit him at all.

"Then we'll wait for you outside."

The group went outside, leaving Gard alone inside to change his clothes, not worried that he might break anything.

However, as soon as Gard entered, a commotion arose in the distance.

What happened there?

Darina looked over curiously; she had intended to go and see, but Razer caught her.

"Don't just join in the fun."
