We moved to Golden Courtyard

In retrospect, the "handsome man" tactic was indeed a brilliant strategy.

Qiqi glanced at Xu Qi, who was still standing in front, and waved her hand impatiently.

"What are you standing there for? Get out of here! I hate seeing you."

Xu Qi smiled and, instead of leaving, took a few steps closer to Qi Qi and hugged the still queen-like girl in front of her.

Today I've seen it for myself; that silly Kiki is indeed the queen of the resistance. At least here, she has absolute power.

"you!……"

"It must be exhausting dealing with all these things every day..."

The moment he opened his mouth, he was like an old sea king.

Upon hearing this, Qiqi felt a surge of grievance and simply accepted Xu Qi's embrace.

"Do you think I wanted this? I didn't intend to make it this big; it was just my own feud with destiny. Who knew that more and more people would follow me..."

Over time, it turned out like this.

Xu Qi kissed Qi Qi on the forehead and comforted her, "Now you just need to remember one thing: I will always stand by your side, okay?"

"That sounds nice..."

Xu Qi narrowed his eyes, and Qi Qi, who was becoming more and more familiar with Xu Qi's interactions, naturally knew that this was a sign that the other party was about to implement family discipline.

"Huh? Wait! I have some news for you, listen to it first."

"What is it?"

Xu Qi smiled knowingly. He was very patient, waiting for the white-haired queen in front of him to finish speaking before letting her know whether what she said sounded nice or what she did felt good.

"Xin'an, do you know this person?"

The smile on Xu Qi's face slowly faded. He suddenly realized that he... might have made a huge mistake...

There are 3 days left until the start of the European League match.

"Commander Eleanor!"

Karen rushed into the office and handed her her phone.

"It's...it's Xu Qi. He said he wanted to meet me this afternoon at a coffee shop in the East Warnerheim area. It seems like..."

"It's an invitation to a date."

"Commander Eleanor!"

Karen glared at the other person with a shy expression.

Eleanor slowly got up and put on the pure white uniform with gold trim—in truth, she didn't like the clothes; they were too religious.

The emerald green eyes reflected the turmoil in their owner's heart.


"After waiting for so long, they really have patience... They actually made their move 3 days before the start of the Europa League. I thought they would give us a break."

"Commander Eleanor, please don't joke. Since Mr. Xu Qi has made an appointment with me, then..."

"Ah... the girl who's always by Xu Qi's side—Padofilis, she's a master thief, known in the industry as Padofilis of the Empty Dreams, though I don't know what that means."

But once we set off, this is the person who will infiltrate the base.

"Should we inform Cocolia?"

"Notify us, because dealing with this kind of thief requires professionals."

Karen draped a white cloak over Eleanor's shoulders, and on the back of that cloak, which was waving, was not the Chinese character for "justice," but rather the swastika of the Shaniat family.

"Can the other party be trusted?"

"Trustworthy, Raven's name is quite famous in the mercenary world."

"But as you yourself said, Xu Qi is backed by the Gold Group, so it's hard to imagine how many talented people he has on his side."

Eleanor walked out of the office building, and along the way, every soldier she encountered stopped and saluted nervously when they saw their commander dressed like this.

"Of course I know, that's why I left the most elite forces of Vanaheim here."

As she stepped out of the office building, from the shadows into the sunlight, she hesitated for a long time. Only when she saw Karen walk ahead naturally, basking in the sunlight, did Eleanor finally speak.

"He wasn't the only one who ventured into danger alone; so were we."

Chapter 1148, 1141: The Shaniat Sisters, What's Wrong With That?

When Eleanor brought Karen to the café that Xu Qi had specified, it was around two or three in the afternoon, and Xu Qi still looked quite surprised.

“Commander Eleanor, I remember I only invited Karen, not…”

"I heard that your previous interactions with Captain Karen were not pleasant, so I came here today specifically to act as a matchmaker."

Xu Qi smiled knowingly, inwardly cursing – "That old fox is really good at acting."

Little did he know that Eleanor, sitting opposite him, shared the same thought—"You brat, can't you stop being so clever at such a young age?"

Karen, the only one who couldn't hide her feelings, sat anxiously beside Eleanor, her head bowed, lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Karen?"

Despite being adversaries, Xu Qi still has a good impression of Karen.

At this moment, a young girl with a strong sense of justice truly lived up to the name of the Kaslana family.

Under the table, Eleanor nudged Karen.

You brat...isn't it obvious you're hiding something?

"Mr. Xu Qi, I..."

"Are you feeling embarrassed because you rejected me last time? It's okay, didn't I say we can still be good friends?"

"No, no..."

Karen bit her lip, feeling unable to look Xu Qi in the eye. What was this? Superficially agreeing, yet secretly stabbing him in the back…

Karen couldn't do such a thing, nor did she want to see it happen.

She understood that this was something that soldiers had to face.

But as a member of the Kaslana family, she could not accept it, nor could she accept it.

Eleanor sighed inwardly—she had never imagined that Karen's sense of justice would be so strong... She was hesitating whether to change the contents of her plan.

The original plan was for them to pretend to be held back by Xu Qi, and then the base would quickly capture and suppress the infiltrators, using this as leverage to negotiate with Xu Qi.

If one Xin'an isn't enough, then add another one.

If they fail, they will arrest Xu Qi on the grounds that the infiltrator is connected to Xu Qi.

This is the worst-case scenario—for the same reason, even if the whole world knows that Xu Qi is Mafti, a member of the resistance forces.

Tianming will only seek opportunities to negotiate with Xu Qi, rather than breaking off relations.

But those are issues that the higher-ups need to consider. Eleanor only cares about one thing—the Europa League must be held smoothly, and the battle against Vanaheim must be won!

She had realized that this was the rebels' last stand.

However, her expression changed slightly the next second.

Without dwelling too much on Karen, Xu Qi looked at Eleanor and naturally took her slender hand, which was resting on the table.

This unexpected turn of events naturally shocked Eleanor!

What! ...What does this person mean!?

Karen was stunned, glancing at Xu Qi one moment and then at Eleanor the next, as if to say—isn't this date with me?

"However, I do have some advantages, namely that I'm not a picky eater."

Xu Qi stroked Eleanor's smooth hand.

Its delicate skin is truly irresistible.

As for what the other party thinks?

Eleanor certainly didn't think that Xu Qi was making advances on her. On the contrary, she understood Xu Qi's intention almost instantly—if he didn't cut off her arm, she wouldn't be able to escape today.

Damn it... I thought Xu Qi's attention was all on Karen, but I didn't expect that she was after me from the very beginning!?

That's a really thuggish tactic!

Oh... that's definitely a rogue tactic.

"Actually, I noticed it that night. Miss Eleanor is also a rare beauty. Hanging yourself on one tree doesn't fit my persona as a playboy."

Karen's smile was forced.

Clearly, she genuinely believed that Xu Qi was flirting with Eleanor, and what she found most unacceptable was that, judging from Eleanor's demeanor, she didn't seem to object.

Eleanor looked at Xu Qi with outward composure.

"Mr. Xu Qi, have you thought this through? After all, you know nothing about me."

"It's alright. Why would I have chosen you if I hadn't done thorough research? Besides, I knew you would come when I was in Yokaren, and that's the purpose of today..."

It was you all along.

At this point, Eleanor's expression changed slightly.

"To be honest, after coming to Europe, or rather, after coming to Huanaheim, I've visited quite a few places, but they all left a rather average impression on me."

Thinking about it later, it must have been because Miss Eleanor wasn't there.

Karen got goosebumps listening to this, but just because she didn't understand didn't mean Eleanor didn't—getting rid of you means the end of your destiny.

"So I thought that rather than letting go, keeping you by my side was the best choice."

Eleanor's gaze suddenly turned icy.

Instead of beating around the bush with Xu Qi, she went straight to the point: "Trying to recruit me... is probably much more difficult than you think, Mr. Xu Qi."

"It seems you know who I am."

"You're just playing along... Did you even set up the attack on the European Union stadium just to show me?"

“No, that’s true, but who can blame me for seeing a greater strategic value? Miss Eleanor, you’re… underestimating yourself.”

Now, Eleanor was truly speechless; she had lost because she hadn't accurately assessed the enemy's strategic objectives.

"Do you know how difficult it is to bring a high-ranking Schicksal commander away from Vanaheim?"

Having said that, Karen began to understand.

She had already placed her hand on the gun tucked behind her waist, but the next moment, she saw Xu Qi take Eleanor's small hand and take a light sniff.

A frivolous attitude, a stern warning.

"Of course I know, that's why we transferred you out, right? We were just afraid you could take charge of the central command and dispatch, and we even brought your ace pilot with us."

"It won't be that easy."

“I know… Actually, my original plan was simpler. I intended to let you capture me and take me to the base so I could find and kill that woman, Cocolia.”

My initial plan to give you Qianjie was similar, but... due to unforeseen circumstances, you didn't take the bait. However, my wives ultimately disagreed.

They felt that killing Cocolia wasn't worth risking my life for. So, we came up with a compromise: returning to the origin of the plan, which is...

I'll hold you off here, then have the others attack your garrison, and then I'll take you away.

Eleanor almost burst out laughing, but she quickly frowned again.

At that moment, a woman gracefully walked up to Xu Qi's side, causing Eleanor's heart to sink to the bottom.

"Young Master, stop playing, it's time to go." (Xi Bu San, 77440~8)

Long chestnut hair, and those signature pink eyes.

Eleanor wouldn't be mistaken.

"Cousin..."

Anna Shaniat smiled at Eleanor Shaniat.

"It's been a long time, Eleanor."
