Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Accompanying him and responsible for receiving him was the Fools' Conscription Corps stationed in Seashade Town. The captain of the conscription corps, who was in charge of the conscription team, was somewhat apprehensive upon learning of Pantalone's arrival.

Although he didn't understand why "Rich Man," the ninth executive officer of the Fools, would come to this place, it didn't stop him from making some connections.

After all, the fact that their conscription squad had been routed by a mere kid had already spread throughout the Fools.

It was truly shameful that the Fools' Conscription Corps, which was the de facto army of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, was defeated and forced to flee by a mere brat.

This made it hard for them not to wonder if Lord Pantalone, as the executive officer, had come in person because he was deeply dissatisfied with the matter.

For this reason, they provided the highest level of hospitality, and dared not make the slightest mistake.

I hope to leave a good impression on the CEO.

You should know that he is the ninth seat of the Fatui Executive, the "Rich Man" Pantalone, who is in charge of the Fatui's finances and logistics, and is also a very important figure who controls the economic lifeline of the entire Winter Solstice.

As he gazed at the tall figure before him, he also noticed the little girl behind Pantalone, who was peering out and observing the surroundings.

Could that little girl be the adopted daughter that Mr. Pantalone recently took in?

He had heard a little about this matter.

Although he found it strange and puzzling, he didn't think about it too much.

Perhaps Mr. Pantalone just has a soft spot for girls under twelve?

Perhaps it wasn't just girls; Mr. Pantalone simply liked children.

However, for some reason, he felt that the youngest daughter of Master Pantalone looked somewhat familiar.

But he was absolutely certain that he had never seen this little girl before, so where did this sense of déjà vu come from?

However, he quickly suppressed his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

If the master finds out what I'm thinking, then even if I'm not in any immediate danger, I'll most likely be in trouble.

Pantalone himself was completely unaware of the wild imaginings that the recruitment team leader was having.

Just as he was about to ask a few questions, he suddenly felt Yura tug at his sleeve and whisper a question.

"Um, Father...Dad, is the person you mentioned who could become the new executive officer here?"

Just as Yura was about to address Pantalone, she hesitated for a moment and finally changed her address to "Dad."

Although Pantalone asked her to address him as Father in front of others, she still couldn't get used to the title, so after a long discussion...

Pantalone conceded, allowing her to stop calling him 'Father' and instead use the more acceptable term 'Dad'.

Before coming here, Pantalone had told her frankly that the boy might become a new executive officer.

Having followed Pantalone for some time, she naturally understood what the title of Executor of the Fools of Winter Kingdom truly represented.

That was a symbol of standing at the pinnacle of power in the Winter Kingdom and being one of the strongest among the Fools. Because of this, she was more or less aware of the significance of this title.

This made her somewhat curious about what kind of person could receive such high praise from him.

When asked by Yura, Pantalone could not possibly say that he had read the script and therefore knew that the boy named Ajax would become the new executor "Prince" Datalia of the Fools.

So he changed to a more plausible way of saying it.

"The boy who was able to defeat a fully armed conscription squad of the Fools all by himself, according to the information I have, is only fourteen years old. If he can have such strength at the age of fourteen, what will his future hold?"

"In the end, I'm just optimistic. The actual outcome depends on the individual's strength. That's why I plan to see this young man for myself and see if he's worth my time to train."

"Anyone who possesses sufficient strength and is willing to serve the Winter Queen and offer their loyalty has the opportunity to become an executor of the Fools."

There is absolutely no fault or excuse to justify this, and it is a perfectly reasonable argument.

If he hadn't known that it was all made up, he almost would have believed it himself.

Although he himself did not believe it, that does not represent others.

After listening to his words, little Yura, who was standing next to him, had a thoughtful expression on her face.

This gave rise to an idea in her mind, and after thinking about it for a long time, she asked Pantalone.

"So, can I also become an executive officer?"

"Of course, the Queen will accept anyone who follows her ideals and works hard for them."

Pantalone paused for a moment, then patted little Yura's head and smiled gently.

Although this was somewhat unexpected, Pantalone suddenly felt a wicked sense of amusement after contemplating the possibility of Yura becoming an executor of the Fatui.

If Ajax fails to become the Executor, and instead the future Wave Knight becomes the Executor of the Fatui... although Pantarone thinks that with Ajax's strength, becoming Tartaglia shouldn't be a problem.

But isn't it quite interesting to add a few competitors and put some pressure on the other side?

While Pantalone was pondering this matter.

At this moment, the leader of the Fools' Conscription Corps was inwardly turbulent.

On one hand, he learned from Pantalone that the other party had given the boy such a high evaluation, saying that he had the potential to become the new executive officer.

On the other hand, he finally realized where his sense of déjà vu for little Yola came from. He suddenly discovered that she was surprisingly similar to another executive officer, "Servant" Lady Arecino.

This gave rise to an idea in his mind.

Perhaps the so-called adopted daughter is not an adopted daughter at all, but a biological daughter.
