Chapter 322 The Arrival of the Fatui
At the same time, Inazuma left the island...
"Madam Executive, your presence here truly brings honor to my humble abode."
In a reception room, a white-haired, vigorous old man was bowing and nodding to a tall lady with a flattering and ingratiating smile.
At this moment, he was kneeling on the tatami, pushing a cup of steaming fragrant tea to the lady sitting opposite the table.
The lady wore a black crown-shaped mask, a black and white long skirt, and a red striped cape with black velvet on both sleeves. A white magic weapon was floating beside her.
She stepped on the tatami with her slender black high heels, and did not kneel down like the old man. There was a hint of disgust and disdain in her eyes.
She did not hide her resistance, and her tone was full of arrogance. "Haha, your Inazuma etiquette is really weird. Do you like kneeling so much? Stand up and find two chairs. I don't want to have to kneel down and talk to you for the rest of the discussion."
The old man did not intend to explain, but nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will ask the servants to bring a chair now."
After a while, the servant brought a chair and then retreated in fear.
The lady sat down leisurely, her eyes arrogant, her thighs naturally crossed together, her left elbow resting on the armrest, her palm supporting her jade-white cheek, and her right fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest on the other side.
The old man sat obediently in the chair with a smile on his face.
"Master Hiiragi, stop talking nonsense. Since you have chosen us, the Fatui, you must have weighed the pros and cons in your mind. You should know very well how correct it is to form an alliance with us. The Fatui will not, nor will they, covet your interests and let you suffer losses..."
"That's right, I have great faith in your country's capabilities and integrity, and I cherish every cooperation I have with your organization. It is an honor for me."
Hiiragi Makisuke nodded repeatedly.
"but……"
The lady's body leaned forward slightly and icy syllables came out of her mouth, which lowered the air pressure in the room by more than one degree and also made Hiiragi Kōng sweat profusely.
The other party swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, "What...what happened? Was it because I didn't treat you well enough? Or was there a mistake in the previous cooperation? Please rest assured that I will keep a close watch on the people below and will never..."
"Are you still playing dumb with me?"
The lady interrupted Hiiragi Kisuke coldly, and countless white cold air emerged from the void like laughing elves, and in an instant they all penetrated into the latter's countless pores.
Hiiragi Makisuke's voice stopped abruptly like a duck with its throat strangled.
His teeth were chattering and his pupils immediately contracted to the extreme.
A strange white frost emerged from his body surface, and the biting cold continued to invade his internal organs, freezing his blood and nerves.
Hiiragi Makisuke fell off the chair with a thud, lying on the ground in a mess. His ten fingers were like rusty mechanisms, extremely stiff, leaving several deep marks on the tatami.
His mouth opened with difficulty, uttering various meaningless dry syllables. It was obvious that he was begging for mercy.
"Oh...ah...oh...ah..."
The lady watched coldly, without any movement to get up from her chair or any intention to help.
She was like an audience member, watching the funny puppet show on the other side of the stage.
“Oh…oh…ah…”
Hiiragi Shinsuke's voice became weaker and weaker, his body became stiffer, and his pupils gradually dilated.
At this rate, in just ten seconds or so, he would be frozen to death and become a frozen corpse.
pat!
At this point, the lady snapped her fingers.
The coldness in Shinsuke Hiiragi's body suddenly disappeared without a trace. Without the factor of coldness, his organs began to function again.
But even if this serious injury has healed, it will definitely leave serious sequelae for a mortal like him in the future.
"You have repeatedly raised the stakes on both sides before. On the one hand, you cooperated with us Fatui to gain benefits, and on the other hand, you wanted to be a loyal minister of national defense. Do you really think that your little tricks are perfect?"
The lady still hadn't stood up. She just looked down at Shinsuke Hiiragi who was lying on the ground, with a frightening cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Hiiragi Shinsuke, the reason you didn't die is not because I was merciful, but because it would be more troublesome to get rid of a convenient tool like you and train another one."
"But if you don't know yourself, I don't mind changing to another tool. After all, there should be many of your subordinates who want to bring you down as their boss."
"A dog should be aware of being a dog, understand?"
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Hiiragi Shinsuke opened his throat and coughed several times before he could barely make a sound.
"I... no... I... I understand! From now on, I will serve your country wholeheartedly! I will never have any second thoughts!"
The lady sneered, "No ulterior motives? You can just lie to yourself. Besides, the Fatui are not so poor that they need your help in everything. As long as you don't have those little tricks, you will get the benefits."
Immediately, she lowered her crossed legs and finally stood up from the chair.
"Well, let's stop here for today. You can decide for yourself later. I hope your decision will not disappoint me."
The wooden door opened, and the lady high above led the Fatui team standing outside the door away.
After they walked away, Shinsuke Hiiragi in the room stood up tremblingly.
Fear, anger, panic and other emotions flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid them.
"Someone is coming..."
He said in a hoarse voice.
…………
The ladies on the other side also returned to their temporary residence on the outlying island after a period of time.
As soon as she came in, the lady heard the sound of rushing water and the collision of weapons from a long distance away.
The lady frowned at the noisy noise and turned to ask the soldier standing by, "Has he been training since this morning?"
The soldier looked at her solemnly, "Yes, my lady, the young master has been at the training ground all day today and has not moved out."
The lady had a headache. She really couldn't accept that such a strong but simple-minded guy would one day become her colleague.
"Is it done?"
The sudden sound was accompanied by the impact of people.
A soldier wearing a Kabuki-like costume and a hat on his head walked slowly towards him and raised his eyebrows and asked.
The lady crossed her arms and shrugged off the matter of the stragglers. "He's just a half-hearted wild dog. We only need to break one or two of his bones to let him know who is the master. Why bother?"
The lady immediately looked around again.
"But what I want to know is, where did Dotore go?"
The scattered soldier sneered, "It's up to him. As long as it doesn't hinder my plan, he can go wherever he wants."
After saying that, he turned and left.
This action also made the lady snort coldly and walk in two completely different directions.
