11. Special Kill Guaranteed
First, I struck him in the kidneys, then followed with an uppercut, and the extra could no longer care about any gentlemanly etiquette. He scrambled up, wanting to settle the score with me, but the next moment, the screams of his companions coming from outside the hotel made him instinctively turn around, peering out in panic!
Outside the hotel, those from the United Kingdom of Meili, who were originally standing outside to intimidate passersby and prevent them from entering, had completely turned into sandbags. Kephyr, who had come with the patrol team, had already thrown them into the air one by one. Even if someone occasionally tried to fight back, the outcome was simple; they were directly knocked down and lay on the ground, crying out.
Now, even though the extra in front of me had just wanted to cause trouble, he had no time for that anymore! He hurriedly ran to the door, and the situation before he had clearly exceeded his imagination!
“What are you wearing… from the Great Ying Empire, who are you! What have you done to the free citizens of the United Kingdom of Meili!?”
Although it was a question, the extra’s voice had already lost its confidence due to the wails of his companions around him. It seemed they were just the kind of useless extras responsible for menial tasks; in other words… there must be someone behind them giving orders.
Kephyr finally released her grip on an extra’s clothing, her gaze sweeping across the shop and lingering on me for a moment. Compared to a certain twenty-something big sister who undermined me while I was deceiving others, dear Miss Kephyr was much more in tune with me than Sister Rasputin.
“We are tourists from the Great Yīng Empire, and we want to eat at this restaurant. However, your people are blocking the entrance with a fierce look, so I can only ‘politely’ ask them to step aside. This is my first time experiencing Rosia-style cuisine; could you please… not occupy the space?”
Perhaps the word ‘tourist’ made him lower his guard, as the expression of the henchman suddenly turned menacing!
“Tourist!? Do you know who we are? How dare you lay hands on the citizens of our free country! Prepare to lose everything!”
“Let’s fight then; the Great Yīng Empire has always been this way.”
Kefier let out a light laugh, causing me to inwardly exclaim: the noble and aloof her has returned! That disdainful look is clearly the standard for a protagonist!
Immediately after, Kefier focused on the leading henchman. “Especially you; I might even give you an extra kick.”
【Kefier intends to vent her anger for Oujili De!】
“Refusing a toast only to drink to a penalty! You filthy country…”
The henchman, who was about to mock, didn’t even get the chance to finish his taunt before he was sent spinning to the ground in front of Kefier. The other helpers, having witnessed this scene, quickly saw their fallen comrade still lying on the ground and panicked, scattering away from the crowd!
As for me, I met the surprised gaze of Letty and winked at the little loli who hadn’t yet grasped the situation.
“How about that? Isn’t this a better way to handle it?”
This was definitely not me trying to curry favor with Letty by leveraging Kefier’s intimidation; it was an unavoidable situation. After all, I could have tricked away this group of black-clad men, but who knew that Sister Rasputin would mess things up for me ? The Rosia sidekicks, who needed to continue pretending to be hotel staff, absolutely couldn’t reveal any extra identities, but… as members of the Great Yīng Empire, Kefier and I wouldn’t have any issues taking action since we weren’t ‘t disguised as staff.
Just as Kefier prepared to bring in the members of the patrol team, I contacted her through the contract and dragged her in when she arrived to deal with these henchmen who posed no real threat.
While Letty was still hesitating to respond, Kefier had already restrained the only henchman who hadn’t escaped and began to interrogate him.
“Who sent you!?”
As she spoke, she twisted his arm a bit, prompting the poor henchman to scream in pain. Kefier only needed to threaten him; she could probably dislocate his arm if she wanted, but this was just to scare him.
“Th-the boss sent us to take over…”
Reaching this point in questioning was enough; digging deeper would only alert the snake and bring trouble. After receiving my signal, Kefier also released her grip.
“Is this what you call taking over? Get lost, and don’t let us see you again!”
The freed henchman fled in disarray, and Kefier led the way into the hotel. The henchman’s brief confession had already alerted the nearby passersby to their intentions, and those who realized there was no major issue with the hotel began to enter out of curiosity.
With this, Letty’s disguise plan wasn’t too affected, I quickly called over a few other Rosia sidekicks to start tidying up inside the restaurant, as we still needed to pretend to be staff.
Thinking this, I soon brought a plate of Rosia-style omelet rice from the kitchen to a table, then… fell silent for a few seconds, causing the “customer” in front of me to become displeased, ringing the bell impatiently.
“What’s wrong, waiter? Your movements are so stiff~”
How can I not be stiff, Kefier!? Of all people, why did it have to be me serving the dishes? Your intention is too obvious!
【Kefier doesn’t want Oujili De serving other women.】
“Don’t get too close… it’ll expose us.”
Reluctantly, I had to lower my voice to remind Kefier, as the recent events had made me realize that our script in the Rodema Empire would definitely not go smoothly.
“What does it matter? No one’s watching anyway…”
Muttering quietly, Kefier whispered to me after taking the plate: “Those were people from the Meri United Kingdom, right? If so… it’s about the same as what we learned from our patrol team. Besides us and the Rosia Empire, there are also some forces trying to fish in troubled waters in the Rodema Empire; the Meri United Kingdom is one of them. After this… it’s probably going to be a constant struggle with open and covert conflicts.”
“What’s their purpose?”
Sure! Here’s the translation of the excerpt you provided, with attention to word choice, phrasing, and atmosphere, while preserving the line breaks:
—
“From what we understand, they are here to acquire the low-yield. But how could such activities be accomplished by mere underlings? There must be significant figures behind this, along with some armed forces. The Rosian shops are already established; they need to be more cautious from now on.”
The investigation by the Great Yng Empire’s patrol, combined with my script, is enough to confirm the troubles that Letty is currently facing. It seems that today’s events have already drawn the attention of the Rosian Empire.
“I understand. I will inform Letty. Thank you.”
“What do you mean by ‘thank you’? It sounds like you’re already one of the Rosians!”
I looked up and saw Kfir’s face, tinged with a hint of acidity.
I’m not, I didn’t, you’re really misunderstanding, big shot.
“I’ll ask you later why you’re dressed like this. Now hurry up and give me some VIP service! I’m not short on money!”
Alright, alright, don’t rush, Kfir, you’re already my VVIP.
I forced a smile and picked up the ketchup, squeezing a crooked heart onto the egg skin on my plate in front of Kfir.
