In Kjerag, after receiving Fujino's affirmative answer, SilverAsh's tense heart finally relaxed.
His body slumped into the chair, a perfect 'Ge You slouch'. SilverAsh let out a long breath, his mind and body relaxing.
"Boss." Horn's voice came from outside the door.
SilverAsh quickly sat up straight from his chair; he still had to maintain his image in front of his subordinates.
"Come in."
The office door opened, and Horn walked in. Seeing his boss's somewhat strange expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what's wrong with your face? Are you having a spasm?!"
"Ah!" SilverAsh hurriedly took out a mirror to check his appearance and found that his expression was indeed quite strange, as if a person who was smiling was trying to force a serious look.
"Head." SilverAsh said quickly, hurriedly adjusting his expression.
With his worries of many days finally put to rest, SilverAsh's mood at this moment could be imagined. In the end, SilverAsh decided to shed his somewhat serious expression and put on a faint smile.
Horn was stunned. He didn't know how long ago it was that he had last seen such a smile on his boss's face; it was probably only something he saw when his boss was playing with his younger sister when they were children.
The hypocritical smiles shared with those politicians didn't count. Horn truly hadn't seen such a heartfelt smile on his boss's face for a very long time.
Horn suddenly thought of something. If his boss could make such a smile, then it must be that his boss had found a solution to the alliance between the other two major families.
"Boss, have you already found a solution?" Horn asked excitedly.
SilverAsh smiled, nodded, and said to Horn: "I have already contacted Miss Fujino of Umbrella, and she has agreed to help us."
"So that's how it is." Horn nodded: "If Miss Fujino is willing to take action, then those two major families won't be able to pose any threat to us at all."
Being by SilverAsh's side, Horn naturally knew of Umbrella, and he was aware of Umbrella's strength.
At the very least, in front of Miss Fujino, who always wore a faint smile, Horn couldn't even muster the thought of opposing her.
"Horn, go notify Courier to prepare a few rooms; the people from Umbrella will be coming tomorrow." SilverAsh said in a deep voice: "Also, absolutely do not let anyone other than you and Courier know about this. Also, tell Encia to have Ram stay at home these few days to prevent those two families from doing anything bad."
"I understand." Horn said in a deep voice, but then he thought of something and asked SilverAsh: "Boss, should we tell Miss First Snow about Miss Fujino coming here? Miss First Snow has mentioned Miss Fujino several times before."
SilverAsh was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "Fine, tell First Snow. Just say that Miss Fujino is coming specifically to see her."
For his younger sister, SilverAsh could be considered to have gone to great pains.
"I understand!" Horn smiled, then turned and left the office.
After Horn left, SilverAsh, sitting in his chair, rubbed his temples and sighed.
"How did I forget about this? It looks like First Snow is going to be snatched away this time."
"Oh well, following Miss Fujino is better than being snatched away by some random man who pops up from nowhere in the future."
"Sigh."
In Umbrella, in Fujino's office, Fujino looked at the Penguin Logistics trio and smiled: "How are the weapons? If you need any modifications, feel free to bring them up."
"No need, I'm already very satisfied." Texas said, her tone still flat, but there was a hint of gratitude compared to before.
"How about you two?" Fujino looked at Exusiai and Croissant.
"I don't need any either. The energy conversion device you added to my weapon will save me a huge amount of money in the future." Exusiai said happily. For someone like her who used guns, the consumption of ammunition was huge, and the originium bullets used to deal with some special enemies were twice as expensive as ordinary bullets. Sometimes, the money spent on bullets for commissions that required combat exceeded the lungmen coin earned from the commission.
Now with this energy conversion device, Exusiai wouldn't have this worry in the future. The fact that the generated bullets were not weaker than originium bullets was secondary; the most important thing was the infinite ammo effect. It could be said that with this weapon with infinite ammo, Exusiai's combat effectiveness was more than double what it was before.
"I'm also…"
"As long as you are all satisfied." Fujino directly ignored the comment from a certain Croissant lady. As for the shield, as long as it was hard and heavy enough, that was fine.
A certain Croissant lady suddenly felt a sense of malice, but because the person in front of her was her big financier, she had to swallow her words.
"Alright, next, there is a commission I want to entrust to you." Fujino smiled at the three from Penguin Logistics: "The reward is five million lungmen coin."
A certain Croissant lady's eyes instantly turned into $$ signs.
