Fiftywith the Thunder Horse’s weapons was a weird combination It was as unpredictable as it was deadly The only thing ianization was about to face its biggest threat since its establishe had started to burn

“Mister Xia, these four will be in your care Please treat them well,” said Arthur to Xia Lei, about to depart from the Peace Mansion’s entrance

Xia Lei replied, “If you’re so worried, you can take them with you”

“No, no, no,” Arthur waved his hand “I proes so I’d need to stick with it You can’t be asking me to be a man who’s not trustworthy now, Mister Xia”

The other h so, Xia Lei was fully aware that there was a different motive behind Arthur’s adaes They were probably posed as spies Aside from their ethereal appearances, their abilities posed no threat to Xia Lei so he wasn’t too concerned about it

“May I speak to theentle

Xia Lei smiled “Sure They’re your comrades There’s no need to ask for my permission If you’d like, you can even talk to them for the whole day I wouldn’t mind it at all”

“No need for that, a few minutes would suffice,” said Arthur as he started to move towards one corner beside the door

The Grey and Russo sisters followed suit

Initially, Xia Lei thought they were just going to settle in the corner for their discussion, but Arthur had suddenly moved to hide behind a wall So naturally, the four ladies would follow his footsteps to get away fro eyes

Xia Lei couldn’t help but laugh His left eye twitched to show hi abilities had activated as well

“Mister Arthur, why are you leaving us here? We have nothing to do here,” said Rosa

“But Mister Arthur, the man is unbelievably sly! Can we even do it?” Stella orried, her ht Each of theet theht of it sent chills down her spine

“This is an order! You et it done!” repri? You’ve studied the art of seduction! You were all given an advantage froical weakness You’ll succeed as long as you use your brain”

The four ladies looked at each other They didn’t dare to utter a single word They understood what Arthur was trying to say Arthur had intended for thee of his lust, forcing him to succumb

“That’s all I have to say, we’ll keep in touch Be careful and make sure Xia Lei doesn’t find out,” reminded Arthur

The twins nodded then chanted in unison, “Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum!”

With that, Xia Lei ended his observation It wasn’t odd for Arthur to hand such a task to them, but it sure will be a headache in the near future Xia Lei thought to himself, “Why does he need to kno ht Hospitaller going to killit?”

Perhaps there was such a possibility as the dead were ed froht s had happened He said, “Mister Xia, I’ll be leaving now I’ll be updating you as we go Oh, right… When e be getting the weapons?”

“I’ll get my South American partner to have it ready for you I’ll send hiuess I’ll see you again soon” Arthur started to walk towards a waiting rental vehicle Xia Lei had called the transport for him as he didn’t want his people to be seen with a er

“Mister Xia” Giovanna’s voice was gentle “Will you kindly show us around? We’d like to get used to our surroundings”

“Sorry, I’ you around I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to do so,” uttered Xia Lei as he turned to walk towards the Thunder Horse Military Factory

The Grey and Russo sisters looked at each other, then glued their eyes to Xia Lei’s back
