Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Back to when Wilson was still sober.

Charlie watched coldly as Wilson was dragged away by Ye He's woman with vines, without saying a word from beginning to end.

She had never had any relationship with Wilson. They were not even friends, but just work colleagues.

At this point in time when everyone is about to finish playing together, it is impossible for Charlie to waste his remaining energy on Wilson.

Based on the fact that Ye He rescued them, perhaps... maybe... it is possible... that they can still be saved?

If Ye He was willing to protect me, then maybe I could still survive.

But what else is there about me that is worthy of Ye He's care?

Charlie racked his brains to check his own strengths, and then found in despair that he was of no use to Ye He.

After getting those names, Ye He didn't speak to Charlie again. After dealing with Wilson, he took Hera away very naturally.

Looking at Ye He's receding figure, Charlie's heart was completely engulfed by darkness and despair.

She did not regret telling Ye He the names of those people, because this was Ye He's goal, and if she didn't tell him, she would be living a life worse than death.

The gap between himself and this man was so big that Charlie didn't dare to bargain, but in doing so, he really lost all his value.

The feeling of "waiting to die" is not pleasant, especially since Charlie doesn't have much tobacco on hand. Soon she will run out of tobacco, the only thing that can soothe her nerves.

But until the sky outside began to darken, the orange-yellow sunset came, and was gradually replaced by the bright white moonlight.

It was already dark when Charlie was surprised to find that he was still alive.

Is it because...the group of people arrested by Ye He are all the thugs they arranged in South Folia?
Charlie quickly guessed the truth that she was still alive, but this did not make her relax, because she knew that her current survival was only temporary.

She and Wilson were both doomed to die, sooner or later. Although Charlie wished she could wait another fifty or one hundred years before dying, she knew very well that she would not be able to see tomorrow's sunrise.

Charlie, his heart filled with loneliness, touched his pipe which had been smoked out of tobacco.

She looked at the pipe, which was a twentieth birthday gift from Winona to her. There was also a message from Winona engraved on it:

Smoke less!
Haha... Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with Winona and should not affect her.

But the news of my death... will be notified to my family by the research institute. I hope Winona won't be affected by this in her work...

For some reason, a nameless anger began to surge in Charlie's heart, causing her to stand up suddenly.

"Why……"

With her voice trembling, she asked the now empty main hall:
"Why am I so unlucky?!"

After exhausting the dead silence brought by despair, Charlie finally broke out in silence.

She is unwilling! She doesn't want to die!
But Winona promised her that she would definitely go on a boat trip with her next year to meet those handsome guys with bronze skin and eight-pack abs!

And this trip was paid for by Winona!
There are actually as many reasons as one wants to live. Charlie quickly regained his motivation and started to take action to "survive".

She left the mansion and returned to her apartment in the city.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Charlie packed up all his savings and took all his tobacco with him.

This is all she has, and all the other stuff can be thrown away, because in the process of doing this, she has figured out what she should do next.

Find Ye He!

Then hug the man's thighs tightly and beg him for a chance to protect her!

No matter what I have to pay, as long as this man is willing to nod, everything is possible!

"I want to live!"

Charlie went out with great ambition.

Half an hour later, Charlie, looking dejected, stepped into a pub and ordered some other food and drinks for himself.

Then she just sat there motionless.

"I'm so stupid... Who knows where Ye He is?"

All of Charlie's previous actions were to prioritize avoiding Ye He.

She even applied for a job as a gangster to clean up the mess and erase all traces of her and Wilson's actions.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Charlie to take the initiative to pay attention to Ye He or to inquire about Ye He's whereabouts.

Who knew that the situation would suddenly take a 180-degree turn and suddenly I would have to take the initiative to look for Ye He!
Thinking about the fact that his only chance to survive had slipped away from him just when he was in despair, Charlie drank a lot of beer uncomfortably.

This lady, whose face was filled with discomfort, was particularly conspicuous in the tavern in the city of South Folia, where the purpose of the city was to have fun.

Meanwhile, in the same pub.

"She seems to be looking for you? Why don't you let her find you?"

Hera glanced at Charlie in confusion, then turned back and asked Ye He, who had his back to Charlie.

"Haha, she is my bait. In order to catch a large enough "fish", how can I let the "fish school" discover the existence of me, the angler?"

Ye He leisurely brought a glass of beer to his mouth, tasting the iced beer while casually stroking Hera's thigh.

At this time, he and Hera were sitting in a booth in the corner of the tavern with their backs to Charlie.

Charlie had no idea that the person he was looking for was right next to him, nor did he know that he had become the bait used by Ye He for "fishing".

It is not difficult to get the names of “those people”, but finding “those people” is a rather troublesome task.

For example, the bishop hiding in the church, or other people who should stay in the federal capital and will not leave at all.

They would only send their men to act on their behalf, such as coming to South Folia to eliminate Charlie and Wilson, two "dirty" pawns.

Ye He's target was exactly these subordinates. The group of people caught near the mansion during the day were well prepared, so Ye He didn't leave any of them alive. But Ye He didn't believe that all of those people's subordinates were so "well prepared".

No matter how many come, we will arrest them and then follow the clues to find the real one.

Ye He believed that he would be able to bring out the person behind the scenes sooner or later.

Even if the person behind the scenes is still not "those people", he can definitely bring Ye He closer to those people!

Hera seemed to understand Ye He's meaning. She didn't say anything, as long as Ye He was happy.

Anyway, this fearless man would not be in any danger even if he finally touched the vital point of the Federation.

Hera enjoyed Ye He's confidence and was satisfied with the time she spent with Ye He. Even if it was just drinking alone in a second-rate tavern, she could find enough fun.

Everyone is quite satisfied with their current life, except Charlie, who is frightened but helpless. This woman who is almost driven crazy by her fear can only numb her nerves by desperately taking alcohol and nicotine.

"Ma'am, it's easy to get drunk if you drink like this."

After observing Charlie's condition again and again, a drinker determined that this was just a woman who was drowning her sorrows in alcohol, so he approached Charlie to try to have a romantic encounter.

"Heh...get out!" Perhaps it was the drinker's slightly bald hair that caused Charlie's disgust, and she did not give him any good look.

Although the other party ran away angrily, Charlie was reminded by his appearance that he had indeed stayed here for too long.

Damn... I drank too much...

Charlie still felt a little unsteady after coming out of the bathroom, so she didn't return to her seat, but paid the bill and walked out of the pub.

She has not given up her desire to survive, so she blames herself for her indulgence, but this is exactly what Ye He wants.

Only a "bait" who does not realize that he is the bait can catch the big fish for himself.

So Ye He patted Hera's head, motioned Hera to get up and wipe the saliva from her mouth, and it was time for him to follow out.

Although Caesar was keeping an eye on Charlie, there was still a certain lag in waiting for feedback, and Ye He didn't want to miss the opportunity to "lift the rod" when a fish took the bait.

As for Charlie, when she walked out of the pub, she was immediately sobered up by the night wind outside the pub.

She looked at South Folia, which was still bustling with lights and music. She once thought that this entertainment city could bring her a lot of fun, so she had no objection to the work arrangement of moving here to work.

But after arriving, Charlie discovered that this city was nothing but a den of debauchery and extravagance.

There are many "entertainment activities" in this city that can interest her or make her feel happy, but the prerequisite is that she can afford the bills!

A diligent and responsible assistant...cannot enjoy the "entertainment" of being pursued by men and envied by women after spending money lavishly.

There were a lot of strange noises coming from the alley that Charlie passed silently. The sounds of the beasts mating made her upset, but she was a woman with aspirations and would never easily lower her standards in choosing a mate and humiliate herself.

Charlie's attention was also drawn to the figures walking arm in arm into clubs and high-end pubs.

She regretted that none of these gentlemen in high-end formal suits was Ye He, and she was also a little envious of those women who could find rich spouses.

Thinking back...Ye He seems to be pretty good looking...

My target, the oriental priest in formal attire, seems quite handsome...

In fact, apart from his identity, Charlie is able to accept Oriental people like Ye He.

I heard he is very rich... and has many lovers... which means his "basic conditions" are not bad either...

"Snapped!"

After slapping himself, Charlie stopped having delusions.

She covered her cheek which was hurt by the beating and stepped into the alley, preparing to cross the alley to stroll through the more upscale consumption area to see if she could "accidentally meet" Ye He.

But she quickly suppressed the delusion about Ye He in her mind.

Because she clearly realized that she was just an ordinary woman who would not live long, and she was not even sure whether she could get Ye He's protection.

Just like this...why should I still...

"Charlie Howard?"

Two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley in front of Charlie, blocking Charlie's way.

This was a pair of one man and one woman, but they were not the man and woman that Charlie had seen before and wanted to see now.

Although the man was also wearing formal clothes, he turned up the collar of his windbreaker. The round hat on his head made him look particularly capable and elegant, dispelling a lot of the coldness in the eyes under the brim of the hat.

Although the lady next to him was wearing an evening dress, she was applying a dark purple lipstick on her lips, which combined with the other heavy makeup on her face made her look particularly "dangerous".

Charlie was extremely thankful that he had just been to the bathroom, otherwise he would have embarrassed himself first.

She knew this man; he was Merkel, the head of the "Cleaning Department" of the Federal Research Institute!
Charlie had seen him from afar as he entered a researcher's laboratory and left with a bag of things.

After being warned by his colleagues, Charlie realized that the researcher who never appeared again was the "bag of things", and how much he "escaped" by not harassing Merkel!
But now... am I about to become that "bag of thing"?
The sky is falling...

"Charlie Howard?"

Merkel asked for Charlie's full name again.

"I...it's me...I'm Charlie Howard."

Charlie also answered his question tremblingly.

She didn't think about running away because she knew that when Merkel appeared in front of her, she would no longer have the option of escaping.

But... I'm really not ready to die!

"You are Charlie Howard, a level n assistant at the research institute, right?

May I ask if you have met with Powell Pendler, who is also a Level N assistant, in the past twelve hours?"

"?"

Charlie's blank expression said it all.

Merkel looked at the woman next to her, then nodded to Charlie.

"excuse me."

After saying that, the two of them turned around and left, leaving Charlie there.

Charlie: "???"

and many more……

Charlie quickly covered his mouth and almost called out to the two plague gods. It was not until they were completely out of sight that Charlie was sure that they were just completing other "garbage cleaning" tasks and it was not his turn yet.

Merkel "asked" Charlie about the whereabouts of Powell, but it was just because she happened to run into Charlie, a "family member", so she asked.

As for Charlie's fear and guilt towards them... this kind of behavior is very familiar to them. As long as they are "one of our own" who knows their identities, it is impossible for them to remain calm when facing them.

Because that is "abnormal".

"what……"

Charlie almost fell to the ground. He leaned against the wall and took a deep breath before continuing to move forward.

In the next alley, Ye He also smiled at Hera. If he hadn't stopped Hera just now, Hera, who was in a bad mood because her good time was interrupted, would have taken action directly to catch these two "little fish" first.

“Don’t be impatient… You have to let out the line slowly and let out the long line so that you can catch the big fish.”

Ye He smiled at Hera.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Hera nodded obediently.
