Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"Ah...when will this kind of life end!"

Cathy slumped her little face on the dining table, and her original round cheeks were a little thinner.

She was really exhausted these days. Even if she only came out to have dinner so late, she had to go back to the church to wait for her.

Because there would be cases that required the church patrol to be dispatched at any time, she could only find time to rest for two or three hours at most in one night.

"Thank you for your hard work. Drink more of this. This is the lemon and honey water I made for you. I rely on it to maintain my energy when I stay up late writing my thesis."

Victor, who was sitting opposite Cathy, took out a glass bottle, poured some of the honey-soaked lemon inside into Cathy's glass, and then filled the quilt with ice water.

The fresh aroma of lemon and the sweet taste of honey filled Cathy's nose. Looking at the light yellow homemade drink, Cathy frowned.

"No, I was so sore last time that my teeth fell out!"

Cathy raised her head and bared her teeth at Victor. One of her upper left teeth was indeed missing.

"Um...I added three times the honey this time!"

"Then let me try!"

Victor quickly defended his mistake. As soon as he said that he had improved the formula, Cathy immediately put the glass to her mouth.

As soon as the cold lemon honey water was in her mouth, Cathy immediately shivered from the ice.

The triple amount of honey indeed greatly improved the taste, with only a hint of refreshing sourness left, and more sweetness making Cathy's face reveal a happy expression.

"Ha! Delicious! This is mine!"

The glass bottle placed on the table was pulled to her side by Cathy. Victor smiled dotingly at Cathy, which was what he did for Cathy.

He couldn't handle three times the amount of honey, and eating too much sweetness would make him sleepy easily.

But as long as Cathy liked it, Victor sighed silently. This was one of the few things he could do for Cathy.

"Hmm...ha!!! Another barbecue set meal at this time...added!"

Cathy had finished the drink in the cup, leaving only ice cubes. She sighed happily, and then looked towards the kitchen, just in time to see Ace bringing her dinner out.

"Serving! A huge barbecue feast! I've spread the black pepper sauce on you!"

After placing a tray of barbecue in front of Cathy, who had sparkling eyes, Ace looked at Cathy with relief.

"Oh! Thank you! Brother Ace! I don't know if I could survive without your barbecue!"

After expressing her gratitude, Cathy immediately started to feast, as if her fatigue had turned into appetite.

Although her dining behavior was ruder than Ace's, and she had no table manners, Ace and Victor just looked at each other and smiled.

Cathy has really been working hard these days. As friends, they really can't ask for too much from Cathy.

It only took Cathy seven minutes to finish the 1,500 grams of barbecued meat, and then downed the second cup of super-sweet honey lemonade that Victor had prepared for her.

She didn't have time to eat after that, so she said hello to the two of them and hurried to the Moon Glory Church. Recently, even her meal time was strictly restricted.

Victor glanced helplessly at the glass bottle left on the table by Cathy. When he went to this family restaurant to wait for Cathy, he expected that Cathy would forget about it.

"I'll send it to her. Oh, Mr. Ace, the meal fee..."

Victor is rich now, for reasons I will explain later.

"Cathy prefers to keep accounts first and settle the salary in one lump sum. You should understand, right?"

Ace, who was collecting the plates, smiled and explained to Victor. Victor touched his nose, and there was nothing he could do.

If Cathy knew that he paid the bill for her without her consent, Cathy would be angry.

"It's really not peaceful in Cedarville recently. Although it's not far from the church from here, you have to pay attention to your safety."

Seeing Victor preparing to go out with the glass bottle, Ace gave Victor a kind reminder.

"Well, thank you, I'll be careful."

Victor also nodded to Ace and left the restaurant.

Cathy brought him to this restaurant. Although the barbecue was indeed delicious, it was too far away from Cedarville University. If it weren't for Cathy, it would have been difficult for Victor, who was busy at work, to come to dine.

Ace also looked at Victor's leaving back for a moment, with a glimmer of uncertainty in his eyes.

This boy is one of Cathy's rare friends. After Krent disappeared, this kid has always been with Cathy.

But this kid also obviously has some serious thoughts about the lovely Cathy. Although he does not pose a threat to Cathy for the time being, Cathy is almost an adult...

But this kid obviously has a lot of thoughts about the lovely Cathy!
"Snapped."

A hand was placed on Ace's shoulder. It was the restaurant owner, the father.

He shook his head at Ace, took off the pipe and placed it on the counter aside, and then said to Ace:
"Kathy will have some normal friends sooner or later. This guy is already a good candidate. There's no need to scare him."

"Okay, Dad, you have the final say!"

Dad had said so, and of course Ace had no objection, but before he returned to the kitchen, he "reminded" his dad sincerely:
"I hope you don't need me to stop you when you see Cathy blushing at that boy."

"Snapped!"

Dad, who had just picked up his pipe again, "accidentally" crushed it.

The corner of his mouth covered with gray beard twitched, feeling a little angry at Ace for talking nonsense, but also a little worried about his precious pipe.

Victor and Cathy still had no idea what happened in the restaurant after they left. So far, their friendship is indeed pure.

However, both Dad and Ace were obviously a little over-worried, and with Victor's budding research-mad temperament...

Rather than hoping that Victor will have the courage to confess to Cathy, it is better to hope that Cathy will fall in love with Victor first!

So so far, the friendship between the two is still very pure.

Victor's steps were also brisk as he headed to the church. After all, Cathy had already tasted the lemon honey water he made and was very satisfied with his improved formula.

But Ace was right, Cedarville was indeed a mess recently.

Less than a street away from Moon Glory Church, where the church's emblem could be seen from a distance, Victor ran into trouble.

The gentleman who had just climbed out of the garbage heap was staring greedily at his chest.

Looking at his scarlet eyes, there was a putrid smell that could not be concealed by the stench of the garbage dump.

Victor understood that he was definitely not coveting the glass bottle he held in his arms, but rather his own flesh and blood. Especially the heart in the chest behind the glass bottle.

"Tsk, although I have been exercising recently, I will definitely be able to escape... but this guy will definitely attack nearby residents. Finally, please ask Cathy to come over..."

Victor muttered something, and then stood there indifferently.

He can be considered Cathy's friend now, just like the glass bottle he prepared for Cathy, he can help Cathy a little.

So Victor handed the glass bottle held in his right hand to his left hand, and then put his free right hand into his trouser pocket.

He took out a weapon from inside. It was not the Glock that Ye He used to defend himself, but a very rough-looking pistol that could even be called a crude pistol.

This is a firearm that Victor built himself from scratch!
Everyone underestimated Victor's hands-on ability and the young man's wisdom.

At this point in time, even Ye He was still looking forward to Victor's "promising future", but no one knew that Victor had already understood the structure and operating principles of Glock.

When he was an intern at the Imperial Research Institute, he made the gun accessories bit by bit, and then assembled this pistol.

"boom!"

Just like Ye He's performance in front of Victor's eyes several times, Victor aimed at the good man's forehead and immediately pulled the trigger, causing a somewhat too loud gunshot to sound.

The man's head was immediately opened by the copper bullet. Even if the holy water hidden in the bullet was only 0.5 milliliters, it was enough to melt most of the man's body corroded by the power of the monster, making him unable to do evil again.

Yes, even the bullets were made by Victor himself. Not only can this pistol be fired, but the bullets containing holy water can effectively attack any monster.

"Hiss...the problem of reaction force still needs to be solved."

Putting the pistol back into his trouser pocket, Victor reluctantly shook his right hand that was numb from the shock. He tried firing a Glock once. Although the recoil was quite strong, it was still much smaller than the pistol he made himself.

The rest of the way to the church did not encounter any emergencies, but as soon as Victor arrived at the church, he saw the church's carriage just leaving, and left the street in the blink of an eye.

Even though he tried to reduce the pressure on Cathy as much as possible, Cathy was still disturbed by other affairs and took action as soon as she returned to the church.

Victor had no choice but to give the glass bottle to Sister Diana, who was staying at the church, and asked her to deliver the glass bottle to Cathy's desk, and then returned to school alone.

Maybe he will encounter some more monsters along the way, but this will not be a problem for Victor who has the fighting ability.

"The entire Agni Academy was destroyed? Who did it?"

Cathy, who was sitting in the carriage, asked Mr. Follett. She just went out to have dinner, and a monster-wielding organization that caused the church a headache was killed?
Although it was not without monsters that caused the organization to be killed these days, Cathy never expected that it would be Agni Academy's turn.

This is an extremely dangerous monster-wielding organization, and their [Firemaker] class monster-wielding ones are particularly difficult to deal with.

Those damn fireballs almost burned Cathy's hair once!

"Hmm... what Klein Field said is very vague, but I probably know who did it."

Mr. Follett's expression was subtle. He knew that Ye He was back, and he also knew that the hotel where the monsters from Agni Academy gathered was very close to the Continental Hotel.

So he immediately guessed that there was a 99% possibility that Ye He was responsible for the destruction of Agni Fire Academy.

But first of all, Ye He asked Follett not to reveal the news that he was back, and secondly...

Saidaville has been really chaotic recently. Even if there is only one percent chance that Ye He did not do it, Follett felt that he had better go to the scene to confirm.

"Ah? You know? Are they the flower sellers? They hate Agni Fire Academy the most."

"Hmm... it's possible. We'll know just by going to the site and taking a look, but... maybe we can have a holiday after tonight?"

Follett saw the fatigue in Cathy's eyes. Not to mention this little girl, he was almost at his limit.

So he leaked some information to Cathy, so that Cathy would not be so excited when she saw Ye He tomorrow and heard the good news that Ye He brought.

But at this time, Cathy was still looking at Follett without knowing why.

She felt that Mr. Follett must be too tired. He had just married Aunt Catherine and was so busy that he couldn't go home every day. Is Mr. Follett hallucinating from exhaustion?
Noticing the strange look in Cathy's eyes, Follett just smiled and said nothing more.

When Follett and Cathy, who were fully armed, stepped into the charred hotel and saw the corpses that were full of imagination.

Follett breathed a long sigh of relief, then smiled at Cathy, who was too excited to speak.
"Look! Our vacation is really coming!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the bullet holes in these corpses, Cathy completely understood the implication of Follett's words and was sure that she could really breathe a sigh of relief!
……

"So, you wanted to join them, but you sneaked in and scared them into thinking you were a spy for their sworn enemy?"

Ye He and Jinx were walking on the street. Jinx just used her unique brain circuit to explain to Ye He why she was in that hotel. Ye He's rhetorical question was the result of his translation. .

"Yes!!! Ye...what is Ye doing?"

"Ye He."

"Yes! Mr. Ye He! That's it!

Well, I didn’t forget your name, but you know, Oriental names are always difficult to pronounce! I just can’t get my tongue right!”

Ye He, whose name only has two syllables and has the same pronunciation as the basic letters in mainland China's common language, glanced at Jinx and said nothing.

There is something wrong with this little girl's brain. He knew about it when he first met Jinx, so Ye He was not angry.

But even he didn't expect Jinx to be so bold. She was only at the third level, but she actually dared to run towards a place where a group of fourth- and fifth-level people gathered.

With her clever little brain, she was able to explain her thoughts clearly. It was normal for the monsters of Agni Academy to be frightened by her nonsense.

The Fire Academy is not a docile organization. When those monsters captured Jinx, they only burned the ends of her braided hair to scare her. It was probably because they didn't understand Jinx's background.

It is normal for the Fire Academy, who likes to play with flames, to be attracted to Jinx. She is a little lunatic who is keen on any explosives.

"Don't do stupid things like this again, or you won't be able to play with this."

Ye He took out a high-explosive grenade and motioned to Jinx.

Jinx's big eyes immediately became sparkling, and he promised Ye He with all his promises, and then took the high-explosive grenade from Ye He.

"Well, here."

Ye He looked at the list. He knew that if his explosives were in Jinx's hands, they would be detonated by Jinx within two hours, so he calculated the time accurately and pointed out to Jinx where another one was hidden. A private house owned by the Monster Maker Organization.

He gestured to Jinx with another high-explosive grenade, then pulled the tab and threw it in.
