20. This is the Free Blockade
After electrocuting the extras who were causing trouble in front of her shop into barbecue, Letty felt relieved, but I couldn’t be happy at all. The whole process went smoothly, from the mocking of the other side to Letty’s “one-hit kill ,” with no unexpected events occurring—what a standard scenario!
But precisely because of this, the “danger” in Letty’s script never appeared, and this script did not disappear at all!
I immediately hugged Letty, ready to leave, not daring to think too much!
After urging Sister Rasputin not to dawdle any longer, I hurriedly embraced Letty and left the “trading company” of the Merli United Kingdom. Once outside, I changed my hold on Letty to carry her on my back, wanting to quickly return to the hotel .
The change from holding to carrying on my back made Letty quite unhappy, but she had just used her once-a-day “big move,” so she was lacking in energy. Even the little fists hammering against my shoulder from behind were as light as a massage.
“Ha~ Big brother, I told you this method is the fastest way for us Rosians to solve problems, and you still didn’t believe it! Look, that bunch of scum from the Merli United Kingdom definitely won’t dare to cause trouble again. This is much simpler than talking back to them~”
“When we get back, let’s tell that clueless old fool that we’ve dealt with the people from the Merli Kingdom, and he should keep supplying us at a discount! Otherwise, he’ll end up with the same fate as the Merli Kingdom folks! Dare to plot against us Rosians? Dream on! Heh heh~”
“Sister Rasputin, did you hear that?”
“Yes! Lady Letty!”
Having just vented her anger, Sister Rasputin was in an exceptionally good mood, even finding time to mock my previous attempts to dissuade Letty from her “cowardly behavior.”
“Long live the Rosian Empire! Beating others to death is our style! I see some of those British cowards completely don’t understand~”
Yes, yes, yes, I know you’re talking about me being a coward.
“So, Sister Rasputin, can you walk a little faster?”
I urged Sister Rasputin, accepting whatever she said; right now, I just wanted to bring Letty back to the hotel as soon as possible.
Seeing I had no response, Sister Rasputin quickened her pace to catch up.
“Hey! You, Brit, don’t run! Why are you in such a hurry!? Don’t jostle Lady Letty around, Buret!”
How can I not be anxious!?
“Where’s your recklessness coming from!? Alright, stop asking so much. Since it’s done, let’s hurry back while there’s still no situation!”
I quickened my pace again!
After all, in the script, even if my death scenario appeared, it wouldn’t matter, but the danger Letty faced had not disappeared with her revenge!
“Huh!? Right now, you’re carrying Lady Letty, and she can’t handle the bumps. You actually want to run back? Do you believe I’ll smack you, Buret!?
Exactly, that’s what I’m worried about! After Letty’s big move of revenge, she felt relieved, but she also entered the “weakened state” after using her big move. And until now, the crisis script still existed. With both factors combined , I had already faintly sensed some ominous situations!
Moreover, just as I was about to think of a way to explain to Sister Rasputin not to dawdle…
In the next moment, the script I had been worried about suddenly emerged!
【Letty’s plan in the Rodma Empire has encountered obstacles!】
【Letty is in danger in the Rodma Empire!】
The script became increasingly severe, then… more specific, indicating that something was about to happen!
【Letty was attacked by members of the Merli United Kingdom and lost her stronghold within the Rodma Empire!】
Didn’t Letty and Sister Rasputin just teach those extras a good lesson earlier!? Could it be…
I immediately understood the reason why the danger script hadn’t appeared; however… I realized it a little late, and there was no way to avoid it.
A group of dark figures seemed to have been waiting for us all along. They appeared on our way back to the hotel from the sparsely populated trading company, clearly blocking our path!
There were quite a few of them, and there was an obvious presence of a “leader,” a young woman wearing sunglasses at the front! They certainly weren’t some “bandit group” that suddenly popped up by the roadside.
“Hey, you from Ying Country, keep your distance with Lady Reiti, there’s a bit of trouble here, Blet.”
At this point, even someone as stubborn as Sister Rasputin could understand what was happening. But Sister, even if you suddenly became so handsome, the current situation isn’t as simple as you think.
I stood firm with Reiti on my back, my gaze directed toward the other side.
The blue-haired girl at the forefront, surrounded by other suited men, took off her sunglasses and flashed us a “friendly” smile that was more skin-deep than sincere.
“Hey~baby~”
That familiar “greeting” suddenly reminded me of the identity of this blue-haired girl, and at the same time, the script appeared in my mind!
【The one blocking the path of Oujilide and his group is the current supreme leader of the Meri United Kingdom—Lin Ke.】
That’s right, it’s the girl in sunglasses who didn’t express any opinions or engage in any disputes during the summit of various nations! This made the situation even more troublesome: because this girl named Lin Ke must know Reiti’s identity!
“Miss Reiti of the Rosia Empire, what are you doing here with your attendant and a follower from the Great Ying Empire? What a coincidence to run into you in the Rodma Empire. Should I treat you to a cup of coffee?”
Reiti, who was on my back, leaned forward. Although she was still in a “weakened” state, she wouldn’t hide behind me pretending to be weak just because of her discomfort; instead, she chose to confront them head-on!
“What I’m doing here is none of your business! Don’t block the way! And don’t even think about doing anything disgusting to the Rosia Empire! Be careful, or we’ll make sure you can’t return to Blet!”
At this time, it’s better not to provoke others, Reiti.
I thought so, but I wouldn’t advise Reiti now; after all… the other side’s intentions were quite clear, and whatever we did wouldn’t be of any use!
【Lin Ke deliberately blocked Reiti’s path!】
I’m afraid, Reiti’s visit to the trade company run by people from the Meri United Kingdom today to settle accounts was just a trap! This Lin Ke might not know that Reiti would weaken after using her ultimate move, but that wouldn’t stop her from blocking our way back with a group of people!
And my worries about the script indeed turned into reality at this moment!
“I won’t block Miss Reiti’s way back, but…”
With a change in tone, Lin Ke removed her sunglasses, revealing a cold smile filled with malice and calculation, “Just now, I seemed to see a mysterious lightning bolt that directly struck our Meri United Kingdom’s assets in the Rodma Empire. Miss Ivan Reiti , do you know who did that?”
