Sir! Don't close the net!

"That's enough, Zig, they're all gone," Li Yili said, spreading her hands and carrying her travel bag as she slid down the submarine. She waved to the others present, "You've all worked hard, go home and rest."

After saying that, Li Yili slung her travel bag over her shoulder, whistling as she prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment--"

Alma suddenly realized what was happening and grabbed Li Yili's arm, just as she was about to ask more questions about the surface of the Dead Man's Sea. Li Yili then covered her mouth and gagged.

Alma's lips twitched violently; she could hear the sound of something breaking inside her heart.

"Minister Li, are you... seasick...?"

"Ugh—a little, it's nothing, it's nothing," Li Yili waved her hand at Alma, "I'm tired today, so I'll leave the rest to you."

"Eh?!"

Alma felt like something was wrong with her head. She usually practically prayed that Li Yili would stop targeting her, finding pleasure in repeatedly torturing her mind.

But the more resistant and serious Li Yili became, the more uncomfortable Alma felt.

Could it be... that I've already been trained?

Alma's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Secretary Alma, Secretary Alma," just as Alma was lost in self-doubt, Li Yili reached out and hooked her arm around Alma's shoulder, shaking her dramatically from side to side, "Don't you understand? This is an opportunity I'm giving you~"

Li Yili's normal behavior relieved Alma. Although she was immediately ashamed that she felt at ease because of this, Alma still calmly dealt with Li Yili's harassment, crossing her arms to prevent her breasts under her sports bra from making unpredictable and irregular trajectories as Li Yili swayed.

"An opportunity? An opportunity to get rid of Minister Li Yili's abuse of power?"

“Ugh—cough—it’s to prevent something really bad from happening, an opportunity,” Li Yili raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, “Do you remember the bet I made with Heidi Serra?”

After blinking, Alma opened her mouth wide, immediately forgetting that Li Yili had gagged in her face.

"A wish that transcends human ethics, shatters moral values, and is purely driven by desire..." Knowing that Alma had already remembered, Li Yili immediately leaned close to Alma's ear and whispered, "Secretary Alma, do you know what wish I would make? Guess... how the proud pirate emperor would react to my request?"

Alma swallowed hard.

What wish did Li Yili make...? Do we even need to guess?

And how will Heidi Serra react to this...? Do we even need to think about it?

Being straightforward and keeping promises doesn't mean being inflexible.

"I think Heidi Serra will probably be returning soon, so I'll leave Secretary Alma to you. Remember to use both soft and hard tactics, and give plenty of hints. I don't want to make a wish to Heidi Serra one minute and have my fantasy shattered the next. I have high hopes for you, Miss Alma."

As she spoke, Li Yili smiled brightly and gave Alma a thumbs up.

Yes, it's the normal Li Yili.

Alma's lips twitched violently. "What do you take me for?!"

“My dear, Secretary, you don’t want to work in front of me tomorrow wearing only an apron, do you?” Li Yili spread her hands. “Secretary Alma, let’s be realistic. You can only choose one: you wearing only an apron or Heidi Serra wearing only an apron.”

After saying that, Li Yili patted the petrified Alma on the shoulder and waved to Zig, who was climbing out of the submarine with Eddie's help.

"Zig, go home and get some rest. Give my regards to your brother—"

"OK--"

Zig nodded immediately and then bowed deeply to Li Yili.

"Minister Li Yili, thank you for your help—"

Li Yili waved wearily and, carrying her travel bag, swayed as she strode toward the lighthouse.

Gazing at Li Yili's somewhat lonely figure, El rested his chin on his hand and frowned. "What did the minister see on the surface of the Sea of ​​Dead Men?"

El's gaze shifted toward Sieg.

Li Yili's reaction was a bit off, which must be related to the surface of the Dead Man's Sea, but Zig was no different from before, so he could only understand that Li Yili saw something that Zig did not see.

“Executor El, we…” Abu Jean looked in the direction Li Yili had left, then at the receding Zig, and leaned closer to El to probe.

“As usual,” Al narrowed his eyes slightly and patted Abu Jean on the shoulder, “let’s get ready first.”

"Okay!"

-

Zig's pace quickened, and finally, no longer suppressing his joy, he waved his arms and hummed an unknown song as he walked through the streets of Instas. Stepping on the broken paving stones in the mud, he wobbled and jumped into the slum, which was called the garbage dump.

But soon this place will no longer be called a junkyard! The people here will no longer be called defective products, and those born here will be held to high expectations!

Because this is where he was born.

Passing by a shop that specializes in selling potions and masks, Zig spread his arms wide and waved happily at the middle-aged man sitting in the shop reading a newspaper, "Boss—I did it!"

I've reached the sea!

"is it?"

The middle-aged man's tone was incredibly calm, as if this were nothing more than an episode insignificant compared to anything in the newspaper, but hidden behind the counter, his fingers, gripping the newspaper, quietly tightened.

Zieg was not discouraged by the middle-aged man's perfunctory attitude and arrived at his doorstep with a smile.

Zig took a deep breath and just as he raised his hand to knock, the wooden door opened silently in the wind, and light spread along the door frame into the dark and narrow living room, falling on the back of the man who was facing away from the door.

Zieg sensed something was amiss, and his excitement quietly faded.

“Bert…”

The man straightened up slightly and slowly turned towards Zig, who instinctively held his breath.

“Zig…”

A cake that wasn't particularly big or pretty came into view, and the person holding it was his brother Bert.

“Happy birthday, Zieg,” Bert shrugged. “Oh, and welcome back.”

"I'm back--"

Zieg smiled brightly and opened his arms to Bert, sunlight streaming through the window and falling on the trash can in the corner.

Inside the trash can, amidst a pile of household garbage, a transparent tube containing medicine shimmered eerily in the sunlight.

Chapter 153 The Hammer of Justice!

"Welcome back—I can't believe you actually made it back alive!"

As always, Valkyrie was sprawled on the sofa, drinking and enjoying the sea view, without even glancing at Li Yili at the door.

But that's how I care about people.

Valkyrie added a thought to herself, as if amusing herself.

Anyway, Li Yili will definitely complain or even take action next.

The silence, lasting for five minutes, made Valkyrie Lei feel uneasy. She kept shifting her position, but the sofa, which had become shaped like her, suddenly didn't feel comfortable no matter how she lay down.

It was Li Yili who came in. Having spent so much time with Li Yili, she knew Li Yili's scent and aura all too well. She could tell from her footsteps and breathing even without looking. But it was impossible for Li Yili to stand there silently and stare at her for a full five minutes.

"Cough—what are you doing—"

Finally, Valkyrie couldn't hold back any longer. She put down her beloved wine bottle, stood up, and looked in Li Yili's direction. It would have been better if she hadn't looked, because Valkyrie was so shocked by what she saw that she jumped up.

Li Yili stood in front of the living room, leaning against the door frame, staring at her expressionlessly. Her gradually cooling aura reminded Valkyrie of a fantastical creature.

【ghost】

Li Yili is dead! She's come back as a ghost to find her!

"Wait...wait a minute! Don't speak yet!" Valkyrie immediately raised her hand towards Li Yili. "Let me make this clear first! I did do something wrong to you, but it was only using your money to buy luxury goods! That's all!"

Li Yili rolled her eyes, turned around, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and glared at Valkyrie Lei. "Is this all you've done to wrong me?"

“Hahaha… well, actually,” Valhae Rai scratched the back of her head, her laughter growing even more awkward, “you do receive a subsidy from the Galar Horn—”

"Eh--"

“But, but that little bit of money isn’t even enough to fill your teeth, you might as well fill mine,” Valkyrie said, her eyes darting around, avoiding eye contact with Li Yili.

"what……"

Li Yili sighed deeply, picked up her water glass, and walked straight towards Valqiu Lei.

"Wait, wait a minute! What do you mean by this! You can't frame me—I only did this little thing!"

Seeing Li Yili suddenly approach, Valhou Lei frantically gestured with her hands, but as Li Yili drew closer, Valhou Lei's voice grew softer and softer. When Li Yili stood in front of Valhou Lei, Valhou Lei fell completely silent.

Li Yili raised her hand and gently patted Valkyrie's face. "Are you out of your mind?"

Valkyrie raised her hand and touched her face, realizing what had happened.

"Hey—hey! You're not dead!"

“Isn’t that obvious? I am Reeves Est. Richard, how could I possibly die?”

Li Yili put her travel bag next to the sofa, leaned over and plopped down on the sofa, which had now turned into the shape of Valkyrie. Her body, which was much larger than Valkyrie's, mercilessly erased the marks Valkyrie had left on the sofa, and the sofa instantly became the shape of Li Yili.

"You didn't even make a sound when you died—what was I repenting for just now?!"

"Shouldn't you repent for taking my subsidies?" Li Yili flicked the middle finger at Alma, but then stopped halfway through. "Although it was indeed a subsidy that wouldn't even fill a gap between my teeth, it was a bond that proved I was a member of the Galar Horn!"

"Ah, this... Ahaha—"

"Hey, you bastard, you wouldn't..."

Valkyrie's guilty look made Li Yi think of a very terrifying possibility.

You might not believe it, but it's true.

Valkyrie, who was flipping through documents, walked down the stairs.

"Actually, you didn't infiltrate the Black Goat's cubs as an undercover agent at all. You are currently handling Valhae Rai's original work as her executor."

Valkyrie Kite landed lightly on the floor, turning to look at Valkyrie Rei, "The Valkyrie Executor's allowance is far more than what a mere undercover agent can receive."

"You know how many people are vying to become a Valkyrie Executor."

“Wait a minute… but I’m right here,” Li Yili’s lips twitched, “then who’s working now?”

“With you here, who else can be working?” Valkyrie closed the file in her hand, shrugged at Li Yili with a regretful expression, “The work will just keep piling up, you know, when things get out…”

Valkyrie's expression froze, and she turned around abruptly. "I—my stomach hurts a little, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Hey, wait a minute, your confession isn't over yet—"

Li Yili raised her hand and grasped Valkyrie's shoulder.
