17. Throw Away the Siberian Bullet!

In order to gain clearer content for Ke Fei Er’s “upgrade and treasure hunt” script in the Rodma Empire, I prepared to take a risk and directly contact the “big boss” Nilu, who has close ties with the fairies.

This idea was permitted by Queen Louis IV, and all that remained was to find an opportunity for Nilu to notice me naturally. However, just at this troublesome moment, I received some bad news from the hotel where Letty and her team had seemingly gotten back on track and were well disguised.

This happened the day after I met the queen with Ke Fei Er. While I was still pondering how to approach Nilu in a way that would seem “natural,” the noise from the first floor of the hotel abruptly woke me from my daze. I initially thought it was just Letty having another chaotic day with Sister Rasputin, but as I yawned and walked downstairs, the scene before me instantly cleared my sleepiness!

[Letty and Rasputin are teaching a lesson to the people of the Rodma Empire!]

The script’s hints were unnecessary, as I immediately understood the situation!

As I looked over, I saw Sister Rasputin’s entourage—a group of Roshians who clearly didn’t look like good people—had already surrounded a frail old man, and Sister Rasputin herself had begun to tug at his clothes, almost lifting him off the ground!

Such a scene would likely scare anyone into wetting their pants, not to mention that Sister Rasputin then proceeded to deliver a classic Russian-style threat.

“Hey, old man! Here’s your chance again. If you repeat what you just said, do you believe we can send you straight to Siberia, where you’ll be digging potatoes until you’re in a coffin!?”

Roshians open shops to disguise themselves; even if Sister Rasputin had temporarily forgotten, as the Empress of the Russian Empire, Letty should know better! But when I looked again, I found Letty watching Sister Rasputin with a dark expression, perhaps indicating that Rasputin’s actions were indeed at Letty’s behest!

As for the old man being grabbed by Sister Rasputin, he was surprisingly honest, still daring to defy the Roshians in such a situation!

“This… we’re quite helpless, but we really don’t have…”

“Ha!?”

This time, Sister Rasputin was genuinely about to lift the old man up!

Even if it wasn’t to be a good Samaritan, I had to consider the disguise of Letty and her group. Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, I immediately stepped in, signaling Letty to quickly stop Sister Rasputin’s actions.

“Letty, tell Rasputin to stop this.”

“…”

The words were heard, but… Letty’s expression looked anything but good. Combined with the recent troubles of this hotel, I couldn’t shake off a vague sense of danger.

“What exactly happened?”

The one surrounded was an old man, almost a grandfather level resident of the Rodema Empire. In my view, he shouldn’t be causing any trouble, right?

“…”

After a moment of silence, Letty, who had been holding back for quite a while, finally spoke up with anger, “This man is our supplier for various ingredients since we came to the Rodema Empire. We didn’t skimp on payments or anything , but today he came to tell us that he won’t be supplying us anymore!”

Letty wasn’t lying, because as she spoke, a troublesome script appeared in my mind!

【Letty’s hotel cannot continue operating without supplier support!】

Operating? You’re just here to pretend, right? Don’t take it seriously as you go along. That said, I understood: this situation was definitely abnormal, and strictly speaking, it counted as one of the obstacles Letty faced in the Rodema Empire!

“Can’t we find someone else?”

“That’s the problem, big brother. We thought about finding someone else, but… it seems that overnight, many suppliers in the Rodema Empire are unwilling to supply us! And it’s just our place!”

The more Letty spoke, the angrier she became, as if holding back her frustration only made it worse!

“That’s why I want to ask him who is causing trouble! Anyone daring to make things difficult for us in the Rosia Empire deserves to be fed to the fish!”

The answer wasn’t hard to guess, because unlike Letty, I could quickly find out who was behind this using the script. However, when I saw the content of the script, I was stunned.

【People from the Merli United Kingdom are deliberately targeting Letty’s hotel!】

Is it that group of black-suited, black-hatted “amateur team” from before!? If it’s them, it indeed makes sense that they have a conflict with Letty’s hotel! The words I was about to blurt out in good faith got swallowed back down!

I couldn’t tell Letty this answer! I could handle it myself, but I couldn’t let Letty know! I had never forgotten that the previous script contained content about “Letty encountering obstacles and dangers in the Rodema Empire”! If I could just “chuckle” at the previous group causing trouble and then ask Kofiel to handle it, this time they were actually retaliating, and once the script connected, it was very likely that Letty’s dangerous script in the Rodema Empire would start to unfold!

In an instant, I realized and didn’t speak up! But I overlooked another person!

The next moment, under the imposing threat of Sister Rasputin, the vendor old man being pulled by his clothes began to confess, and I didn’t have time to stop it!

“It’s… it’s the people from the Merli United Kingdom! Uwaaah! Don’t throw me to the fish!”

It’s over! This old man opened his mouth with the standard answer, and I couldn’t even salvage the situation!

Letty, having gotten the answer, was even more furious, and she even roughly pushed away my attempts to dissuade her!

“Big brother! Don’t stop me! If I don’t clear this up, I won’t be the empress of Rosia!”

She directly pushed past Rasputin, pulling out a pistol and nearly pressing it against the uncle’s forehead!

“What did they do!!?”

“Uwaaah! They… they paid to contract all the goods from several of our wholesalers, selling them however they want, but… but they won’t supply you!”

Before the words fell, the script had already emerged; after all, the evidence was irrefutable now! But this script didn’t make me happy at all!

【Eugene Li was killed and disposed of by the people from the Merli United Kingdom!】

【Letty went to confront the Merli United Kingdom but encountered danger!】

My death script was everywhere, and I didn’t care at all! But Letty’s initial script about encountering danger in the Rodema Empire was now coming true, turning into imminent peril! I didn’t even need to think; I knew Letty would definitely go confront them next, which was consistent with the character of this hot-headed loli and the Rosians!

If I didn’t stop her, it would definitely happen!
