"Your base is really... um... what a coincidence. Why are you here, Sandoni?"

Under Navia's guidance, Zuo Xi arrived at the Thorn Rose Society's base in Fontaine... Although it was called a base, it was no different from a sewer in his opinion.

However, what made him even more headache was that before them, there was already another uninvited guest who had arrived here and was waiting for them.

He was not surprised by Sandone's surveillance, but he was a little annoyed. Having a girlfriend who is too clingy and controlling is sometimes a happy trouble.

"Hmph, don't play dumb in front of me... Why am I here? Don't you know the answer to this question very well?"

Sandoni folded his arms and crossed his legs, his slanted eyes full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

Because she didn't catch anyone at the Debo Hotel, she asked the person in charge of intelligence and then went directly to the base of the Rose Thorn Society to wait.

In fact, if Zuo Xi was determined to hide, it would be useless for her to wait anywhere. Since the other party showed up, it meant that he must have known about it... Humph, he was quite sensible.

"This is such a huge misunderstanding, Ms. Sandoni, Mr. Zuo Xi and I are just partners... To be precise, we haven't started the official cooperation yet.

This exchange is actually just some preliminary preparations for the start of cooperation. I brought Mr. Zuo Xi back to the base just to show him our sincerity. "

After all, Navia has been running a fairly large organization for several years and is quite experienced in dealing with the ways of the world.

As soon as she saw Sandone's expression, she knew that he was a jealous person and was here to catch someone having an affair.

Logically, she should have kept silent in this situation, because no matter what the truth was, the other party didn't seem to care much.

It looked like the other party had no place to vent his emotions, so he just took this opportunity to vent his temper. What was important was not the truth, but whether Mr. Zuo Xi was willing to coax her.

But even so, she still spoke, because if she acted too reasonable, the other party might start to care about things that he didn't care about before... In front of the real person, sometimes you have to learn to lower your position to highlight the person who needs it.

"You have no right to speak... Heh, do you think I would say that?"

Sandoni pretended to be arrogant for a moment, then his expression changed instantly and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, I'm not targeting you... Never mind, you've figured it out anyway. So don't bother trying to be a supporting role, I don't care.

But... I now have some idea of ​​what I want to know. You made a pretty good umbrella."

No matter how much he devoted himself to research, he has lived for so long. As the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have seen pigs run.

The colleagues around him were all bastards with eight hundred schemes, and Zuo Xi was especially a bastard... Under their influence, Sandoni had developed a pair of sharp eyes.

Although the girl opposite did know a little bit about the business, she still thought she was a little immature.

But she didn't mind. After all, she came here just to take a good look at what was so special about this guy, and now she almost knew some of the reasons.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, this girl named Navia...her taste was indeed the kind that Zuo Xi would be interested in, whether it was her clothing or the gadgets she wore.

She could even sense a hint of gunpowder in the other person - it was obvious that he would get along well with someone like Zuo Xi, who liked to say "art is explosion".

And if the opponent's fighting style is to command cannons from behind, it is not surprising that Zuo Xi would feel somewhat close to her.

After all, before becoming a god, Zuo Xi's fighting style was similar.

"Anyway, I'm glad you understand. If you're worried... I'll let you discuss the cooperation?"

Zuo Xi nodded with relief. The good thing about Sandonie was that although he was very controlling and jealous, he was very understanding and respected his ideas... except in some aspects.

Yes, I'm talking about the time when I drugged you.

"No, I don't care about those things..."

Sandoni was about to refuse without thinking, but he fell into a brief silence halfway through his speech.

"...It doesn't seem impossible. I've been so bored lately that I don't know what to do."

Before, Sandone devoted herself to research because she had an obsession. But after Zuo Xi successfully created a race based on "machinery", that obsession was no longer an obsession.

So she is quite free now, and her daily hobby is to study the manuscripts left by Zuo Xi. Although this can kill time, and she really enjoys it, compared with the past when she was driven by something, she always feels that something is missing.

She thought about it and concluded that perhaps because she had no goal, all her actions were just shells without bones.

In the past, even without that obsession, she could still act for the will of the Ice Queen.

But now, the Ice Queen listened to Zuo Xi. She didn't need to execute the original plan, and she really lost two important action targets at once.

In this state, she seemed to have no special reason for doing anything. If Zuo Xi needed her help, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.

"…It's my fault, Sandoni. I didn't notice your condition in time… No, I should say I noticed it but didn't pay enough attention to it.

I take it back, you don't have to do anything for me. But if you need it... please help me, beautiful lady."

Zuo Xi's brows were furrowed and then quickly relaxed. He ignored Navia who didn't know where to look beside him, and bowed slightly to Sandone and extended a hand as an invitation.

"As a token of gratitude, could you lend me some of your time tonight?"
