"There's some money in the envelope, enough for you to find a hotel to rest. If you've made up your mind, come find me tomorrow. We'll be waiting for you at the hotel in the city center. We'll leave tomorrow at nine o'clock."

Nodding to Jeston, Talina did not stay for long after doing all this, leaving Jeston standing there alone.

Looking at the recommendation letter in his hand and the one-hundred-dollar Longmen coin in the envelope, Jeston was confused.

who am I?

where am I?

What am I going to do?

Volume 9: Chapter 7: Recovering

After returning to the hotel, Talina ignored Saria's doubts and went into her room to rest alone.

The journey from Lungmen to Columbia was not a leisurely one, spanning almost half of Terra, and she was already exhausted.

After a sound night's sleep, Talina got up from the bed in a daze early the next morning at the urging of her biological clock.

Bang bang! ! !

Just as Talina was still waking up in bed, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"I've booked a ticket for the nine o'clock train. Let's get ready first."

It's Saria.

Hearing the recognizable voice, Talina immediately woke up.

After exchanging a few greetings with Saria outside the door, Talina quickly tidied herself up and went straight to the restaurant.

The hotel she and Saria booked was the best one, with first-class service in terms of details.

Now she is no longer the poor little girl who relied on pocket money to make ends meet. She hasn't even spent all the money sponsored by a certain green cat head.

Now that you have money, don't treat yourself badly.

"morning."

After arriving at the restaurant, Talina immediately spotted Vaifan because of Saria's recognizable expression.

After grabbing some food, Talina sat down opposite Saria with her plate and ate her breakfast slowly and methodically.

Seeing Talina's unhurried demeanor, Saria could no longer contain the confusion that had accumulated throughout the night.

"Can you tell me more about your plan?"

She didn't like to think about these useless things, and to her it didn't really make much difference whether those plans existed or not.

After all, your opponent is the entire country. No matter how much you plan, can it be as powerful as the entire state apparatus?

So she directly handed over the matter to Talina. After all, she had her back. Even if she couldn't save anyone, she could lead Talina out on her own.

But Talina's confusing actions yesterday completely confused her.

She didn't understand why she had to waste time in Jeston. If she wanted to find those gangs, she could do that too, right?

Besides, Jeston was a fickle person, and she really looked down on him.

“Are there many businesses in the Tremont area?”

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Talina looked up at Saria.

"Many new companies are established almost every day, but they usually fail because they are not competitive."

Nodding in response to Talina's question, Saria, who had lived in Tremont for more than a decade, was well aware of these issues.

"Yes, to compete, you need to either have an unstoppable advantage over others in scientific research, or be far superior to others in other aspects, such as money, force, or interpersonal relationships."

"As long as they have these things, they will have the capital to gain a foothold in Tremont. Of course, it's just capital."

Talina shoveled the remaining food from the plate into her mouth and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. "We can't match them in terms of money or capital. Ferdinand is the actual ruler of Rhine Life, so our only advantage is in force."

"Sareya, you're not good at those dirty things. Torture, punishment, you're not good at these. We need someone who can do dirty work to handle these things for us."

"It just so happens that this guy can do it for us."

Talina turned her head and looked towards the window.

Saria followed her gaze and saw Jeston in the hall below.

The other person was wearing a black windbreaker and a cowboy hat, covering most of his face, and standing straight in place.

"Are you so sure he'll come?"

"Does he have any other way out besides us?"

Talina asked in return, standing up from her seat and straightening her clothes: "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. After enjoying those rich days in the past, it's hard for this guy to return to normal life."

"His boss has given up on him, which means he'll have to slowly climb back up if he wants to get everything back. Not to mention how long that process will take, his reputation in Colombian security circles is probably ruined, and there's no ladder for him to climb back up."

Covering her mouth with a smile, Talina picked up her luggage and slowly walked down the stairs.

When she left Mansfield Prison, Talina left some things for the warden, including the videotape, just for today.

With her friendly "publicity", Jason has been thoroughly exposed in the Colombian security community.

But the other party is a guy who only has force but no brains. Other than this road, all other roads are blocked, so he has no choice but to come to her.

Simply put, there is no place for this guy in Colombia anymore, and even if he gets out of prison, he will have to go out and work somewhere else.

That's it, it depends on whether others want him or not.

Of course, she came to see Jeston not just to find a black glove.

No matter how strong this guy was, he couldn't withstand more than three blows from Saria's hands. She came to him for something else entirely.

Another thing she always remembered.

Jayston's full name is Jayston Williams...

That guy...his last name is also Williams, right?

.........

"Miss."

With his head bowed respectfully, Jeston saluted Talina, who was more than a head shorter than him.

After a night of investigation, he had completely understood Talina's identity, and all the little thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace.

If he had resentment and dissatisfaction before, these emotions completely turned into relief and fear after learning about Talina's identity.

Luckily I didn't have time to act...

If he really does it, he will have to hide his identity for the rest of his life.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Ah."

"Let's go then."

Ignoring Jeston's gesture, Talina glanced at the time and walked straight out the door.

Jeston raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat, looked at the backs of Talina and Saria, gritted his teeth and followed them.

If he is lucky, he can become a regular employee for the rest of his life!

He is not willing to let go of such a rare opportunity!

.........

Tremont, Columbia.

Compared to the laziness and relaxation of the previous two months, the situation here has been much tighter in recent times.

Not only did the procedures for entering the city become much more complicated, but even the guards patrolling the streets were replaced by military personnel.

After completing the registration, Talina took the tall and strong Jeston and walked into the city where she had once stayed through the main gate.

"Let's go, get ready to work."

Raising her right hand, Talina pointed to a place at random.

"Look for any gangs here and see if there's any news. It's best to do it cleanly. It'll be very troublesome to get you out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jeston didn't argue and walked quickly towards the alley.

Looking at the other person's nimble back, Talina nodded: "Not bad."

Talina had already told Jeston the purpose of their trip on the way, so there was no need to waste words.

She believed that this guy knew what was going on.

"Huh... Let me see, where is that cafe?"

After arranging work for Jeston, Talina stood on the street at the intersection, looking around constantly.

Where is the cafe at the Melander Foundation...?

.........

Tremont, the slums.

Every city has such places, which contain dark "treasure boxes", breed hotbeds of violence, and clear sewers for "garbage".

Coming to this kind of place again, smelling the strange smell that kept coming, a look of disgust appeared in Jeston's eyes.

After staying outside for a long time, Jason felt uncomfortable when he smelled the same smell again.

Just as Talina said, he had been living a life of superiority outside for too long. If he were to go back to such a place, he would rather die.

Waving his hand to dispel the smell around his nose, Jeston followed his memory to a place where he had once "worked hard".

Looking at the old buildings, Jeston walked over.

“Stop…”

"stop!"

But before he could get closer and take a closer look (at his surroundings), several figures suddenly jumped out from the darkness and surrounded him.

Looking at these Lupers, Jeston examined them carefully for a few times, and then grinned.

His smile was cold and violent, no longer as gentle as he had been in front of Talina.

"So the owner has changed..."

Volume 9: Chapter 8: This Road is Impassable

The cafe that Talina was looking for was naturally unusual.

She was looking for the café at the Melander Foundation, where she had last met the Tin Man.

Because she has some cooperative foundation, she prefers to hang out in places like this. Even if there is no news, she can still make contact.

What if there is one later?

Following her memory, she found the cafe and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello, beautiful lady, welcome."

The courteous maid came up with the dinner tray in her arms, bent slightly in front of Tasanlinna, and greeted her with a smile on her face.

Seeing this scene, Talina's brows slowly frowned.

here...

It seems a little different from when she came here before?

It’s hard to say what’s different, maybe it’s a feeling, Talina didn’t feel the strange atmosphere from last time.

But she still held out a glimmer of hope.

"Go call your boss over here, I have something to ask him."

Like a magic trick, Talina took out a Lungmen coin and stuffed it into the hands of the maid in front of her.

If nothing else, she had to give a tip just for what the other party said, "Madam!"

I've been away from home for so many years!

Finally someone treats her like an adult!!!

"Okay, wait a minute."
