Justina was completely stunned, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two men's sharp suits—wearing like that to scavenge?!

Texas didn't explain further to Justina, but stared at Han Fei with a serious expression and reiterated, "In short, I will never allow the Lateran incident to happen again."

“Excuse me,” Theresa interjected curiously, “What exactly happened in Laterano?”

"Nothing much, just checked a few manhole covers and looked through a few trash cans," Han Fei mumbled vaguely.

"Um?"

Theresa was even more confused.

"Ahem." Han Fei coughed lightly, turning his face away naturally. "It's really nothing."

"Boss, aren't you blushing when you say that?" Texas's tone remained calm.

Texas's expressions aren't that rich; if it were a girl with a less aloof personality, she would have rolled her eyes countless times.

“Miss Thea, please listen to me.”

Texas instinctively reached for Theresa's name, then remembered her disguise and changed her words:

"Our boss, in Lateran, under the watch of the Lateran garrison, ransacked two streets, turning over every manhole cover and trash can."

"So this time, please stand with me and stop his shameful act."

"What do you mean 'searched through it all'?!" Han Fei immediately retorted loudly, trying to salvage his image. "I just opened it and took a look!"

Texas ignored Han Fei's rebuttal and calmly said, "So, are you sure you want to dress like this and go around the streets of Casimir, opening every trash can you see and flipping open every manhole cover?"

Before Han Fei could even speak, Justina couldn't help but take a step back.

This is so embarrassing!

Although Justina was often mocked for being a country bumpkin when she fought in underground knight competitions, those mockeries didn't bother her at all.

She was indeed a country girl from the countryside, and she was not ashamed of this identity, so mockery was useless.

But if it were to go through trash cans and open manhole covers in the streets and alleys under the gaze of countless people, Justina really couldn't handle it.

Girls have pride too!

"I didn't know there was such an experience."

Unlike Justina, Theresa didn't back down immediately. However, being gentle and tolerant by nature, she couldn't help but chuckle.

She was even a little curious about how Han Fei had managed to do it.

Is there no one on the streets of Laterano?

Obviously not. Although Laterano is not a large country, it still has a considerable population, so it's unlikely that there wouldn't be a single pedestrian on two streets.

"Huh."

Noticing everyone's gaze, Han Fei waved his hand dismissively, "I can only say that you guys are lucky to be born in a good time. You still have money at home now. When you really don't have money, what's so bad about rummaging through trash cans and opening manhole covers? That's not a big deal, okay?"

"Back in the day, I would solo the Ursus Tundra with nothing but a knife at the start, and I had to steal all my equipment!"

Texas interrupted, "Anyway, boss, we still have money at home, so please don't do anything like this anymore."

Texas glanced at Theresa and added, "I don't think Miss Theresa would want to go with you to rummage through manhole covers and trash cans either."

"Are I alright?" Theresa asked softly. "If it's just one or two, I'm fine."

Texas turned her gaze back to Han Fei and said, "We still have money at home, we haven't fallen to that level yet, so please stop thinking about rummaging through all the trash cans and manhole covers on the street. Boss, please mind your image, okay?"

Although Justina didn't understand the specific details, she chimed in, "Exactly, it's too much to search through all the trash cans and manhole covers on the street. Think about the sanitation workers."

"I didn't take anything out, I just opened it to take a look."

Han Fei tried to defend himself, but seeing Texas's uncompromising expression, he could only sigh:

"Fine, fine, I won't flip it then."

As he spoke, Han Fei scratched his head, thinking to himself, "Why won't you let me flip the manhole cover anymore? Honestly."

Who runs a knife without eating manhole covers or trash cans? Young master, is that right?

Seeing Han Fei's helpless expression, Theresa smiled first, then frowned slightly and said, "But, does this mean we'll never be able to 'eat'?"

"Not really."

Han Fei thought for a moment and said seriously, "At worst, we can just launch a full-scale attack on the Business Federation?"

Please don't do that!

Justina's face turned green. Although she didn't have a good impression of the Business Federation, after all, the "degeneration" of the Knights of Kazimierz was driven by these capitalists.

But attacking the Business Federation without any reason could really cause trouble.

Well, there are indeed constant frictions and frequent struggles between the Kazimierz Knights and capital, but ultimately, that's an internal matter for the Kazimierz people.

But if you, an outsider, directly attack the Business Federation, the knights won't treat you as an ally; they'll only see you as an enemy.

"You've scared people."

Theresa rolled her eyes at Han Fei, then began to comfort Justina.

"I was just saying," Han Fei waved his hand. "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Attacking the Business Federation so aggressively must be a bit crazy; I'm afraid the moment they launch their attack, the racing knights will immediately follow suit.

Even if a mouse is hungry and wants to eat people, it will first act as a potato mine, rather than attacking a fully equipped team head-on.

Theresa glanced at Han Fei again and continued to reassure Justina, who visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Clearly, she was genuinely afraid that Han Fei would do something crazy.

Texas, however, had a knowing glint in her eyes.

She knew her boss quite well and knew how daring he was.

Since the business association was mentioned, it means that the boss really considers it as a potential candidate.

As for a fierce attack, that's definitely a joke. Texas knows his boss isn't stupid and wouldn't actually launch a fierce attack on the Business Federation. His boss basically doesn't do things he's not sure he can handle.

Even though it sometimes sounds incredibly crazy, he actually always has a general idea in mind before he takes action.

Attacking the Business Federation is clearly not something they are confident about.

Texas's mind raced, and based on her boss's personality, she quickly guessed part of Han Fei's thoughts.

The general plan is that if we don't get to eat anything good, we'll sneak into the Business Association and have a big feast before we leave.

This should be Han Fei's backup plan.

At this moment, Theresa, holding little Justina, softly asked, "So, where do we go next?"

Han Fei glanced at his watch. It was almost 10 o'clock, but 10 o'clock was still a long time before noon. Even if the old craftsman woke up at 12 o'clock sharp, there were still 2 hours left.

So Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Where else can we go? Let's watch some knightly matches."

Theresa pushed up her sunglasses and said softly, "Looks like I shouldn't have worn this outfit. Now it really feels like a vacation."

"Isn't a vacation nice too?"

Han Fei reached out and patted Theresa's shoulder, saying softly, "Just treat it as a break. You've been so busy for so long, it's always good to relax a bit."

"is it?"

Theresa asked softly in return, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Just then, Justina, who was in her arms, suddenly raised her head, reached out and squeezed Theresa's little hand, and said seriously, "Sister Thea, I think Han Fei is right. It's not a bad thing to relax occasionally."

Justina didn't know who Theresa was or what had happened to her in the past, but Justina could sense that Theresa was a good person, a very gentle older sister.

Despite their short time together, Theresa's gentle nature has already won over Justina.

Justina didn't want to see this gentle older sister looking so dejected.

Volume 1: Chapter 200 Maria

"That's really a distant concept."

Theresa looked nostalgic; for the Demon King, a vacation was a very distant prospect.

Theresa murmured softly, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

For the former Demon King, "taking a holiday" was indeed a luxury and a distant dream.

Kazdel has never been a peaceful land, and the Tower of Babel is the eye of the storm.

In such an environment, when did she, as a leader, ever have the right to truly relax?

However, at this moment, looking at Justina beside her with a serious expression, and the man with a smile not far away, Theresa felt for the first time the genuine thought, "Then let's relax."

Anyway, she is no longer the leader who has to bear everything; she is just an ordinary "employee".

Since the boss has said we can take a break, why be stubborn?

"So, does that mean I can really slack off?"

Theresa smiled and wrapped her arms around Justina's neck, gently resting her chin on the little one's head. She said softly to Han Fei, "We're supposed to be on a field mission, but it's turned into a vacation. Is this really okay?"

Justina seemed to understand, but not quite, and immediately turned her questioning gaze to Han Fei.

Han Fei naturally wouldn't say a word against it, and immediately nodded and said, "It's okay, just listen to me, anyway we have nothing to do right now."

"Ok."

Theresa smiled, a relaxed and bright smile. "Then I'll rest for a while. I'll end my vacation automatically when needed."

"That's it."

Han Fei readily agreed, "Let's go watch the knight competition, and then we'll go find the craftsman."

Seeing Han Fei's enthusiasm, Theresa shook her head but said nothing.

"Sister Thea."

Justina raised her head slightly and looked at Theresa behind her, a hint of confusion on her face. "Don't you like taking vacations?"

"Why not?"

Theresa gently rubbed the top of her head. "It's just a little bit of an adjustment."

She didn't dwell on the topic for long, and soon said with a smile, "Alright, let's hurry up and catch up."

The group spent more than an hour at the knightly arena before heading to the old craftsman's residence.

On the way, Han Fei was still saying, "Why do I feel like the knights who went on stage today aren't very strong?"

"Because it's still early."

Justina explained earnestly, "The knights with high points don't need to play yet. The stronger the knights will be as the season progresses."

"What about that rusty bronze knight from yesterday?" Han Fei raised an eyebrow.

“That guy is different,” Justina added. “He enjoys the feeling of torturing his opponents; you can’t judge him by conventional standards.”

"don't know."

Han Fei shrugged, not quite understanding.

Before long, the old craftsman's residence came into view.

It was a small shop that seemed to take on any kind of work, at least that's what the sign said.

—The business scope is all-encompassing, from repairing everyday utensils to sharpening kitchen knives, tightening screws, and all sorts of odd jobs.

However, it must be said that such a messy business scope lacks sophistication.

At least, according to common sense, a truly skilled master craftsman should not take on odd jobs.

But this is Kazimir, a country where capital is everything.

Therefore, it's not surprising that it will turn out this way.

The shop was open now, so Han Fei didn't hesitate and led his men inside, saying directly:

"Hello, is the craftsman here?"

As a result, after entering, Han Fei only saw a girl with golden hair and a golden ponytail standing in front of the counter, with her back to the shop's main entrance.

Hearing Han Fei's greeting, the girl instinctively turned around and gave him a friendly smile: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Han Fei took a closer look and thought to himself, "Isn't this my little cutie Maria Nearl?"

At that time, Maria Nearl, now known as Miss Glow, was not wearing her signature pure white armor, but rather a light, dark casual outfit, looking quite relaxed and at ease.

Another old acquaintance.
