Chapter 199 - Chapter 199: Emperor's Warning

Jeanne and the other turned their heads toward the direction the voice came from; that famous magical creature of Lungmen was greeting them energetically. In its hands, it carried several shopping bags from Siren Records. Inside were boxes packed very exquisitely, the protective measures on them looking as if they were terrified of even the slightest damage.

"I can already feel it. Did you go out to have a shootout with someone? How come I didn't see you taking Exusiai and the others?"

Looking at the extremely clear footprint left on Emperor's white suit, Lemuen was somewhat curious if this boss had been beaten up by someone. But thinking about it again, this penguin could be considered a Terra celebrity; who would take such a vicious hand against it?

"Hey, don't mention it. I went over to Siren Records to pick up my ordered record for 'Album of the Year' after my meeting today. I didn't expect some small problems to come up in the process."

Emperor didn't say what happened; perhaps it didn't want to bring up past events, it didn't want to say it out loud.

"Speaking of which, where did my indispensable employees go? Usually at this time, they are all here. It was worth it for me to come back as soon as I bought the records to share them with them."

Emperor turned its head and found that the employees who were supposed to be sitting here were actually all gone; the entire room looked desolate. This was not the consistent style of its lively employees!

"Them? They said they went to play games. While shopping earlier, I think I heard them say that the one called Tales of Higashi-Ursus is released today; they want to broaden their horizons."

Lemuen recalled that when she went out today, Exusiai brought up that game with a very controversial title; she was speechless for a while. And it was said to be produced by a Yan game studio, about Higashi culture invading Ursus after the Udon War...

"What the hell is that! Is that really a story that a normal person could come up with?"

Jeanne listened in disbelief as Lemuen talked about this extremely ridiculous game, and secretly made a resolve in her heart that when she went back, she absolutely must make Kashchey watch Talulah play it. Jeanne really wanted to know the expression of that evil god who loves Ursus so much when he discovered such a game, and his mood as he watched Talulah play it... That evil god, who was unwilling to say a single bad word about Ursus even during that period, his reaction should be enough to let Jeanne and Talulah eat three bowls of rice without needing a single plate of pickles.

"I see, I actually forgot such an important matter. I have to go take a look; that game studio is very creative, speaking of which, I produced the music for that game..."

Emperor remembered this epoch-making game; when the PV was released back then, it even caused a large amount of praise in Ursus. And what attracted Emperor the most was what the actual effect of the music it produced would be like? This was its first time producing exclusive music for a game, and also a new attempt.

After bidding farewell to the two, Emperor planned to go find the three people in the game room. There was a super advanced game console there; presumably, Exusiai and the others were right there.

"By the way, Ms. Jeanne. I have one thing I need to remind you of."

Suddenly, Emperor turned around to look at Jeanne, who was sitting aside. The tone was completely different from the relaxed tone earlier. Jeanne even saw a serious expression in those pitch-black pupils, although what she didn't understand was how a penguin could make such complex emotions.

"Although I don't know what your purpose for coming to Lungmen is, your next actions must be more cautious. I don't know why, but the ruler of Lungmen, Wei Yanwu, has already targeted you."

Although saying Emperor selling out Wei Yanwu at this time seemed very ungentlemanly. But it did it for its old friend, and also for the safety of Lungmen. Otherwise, as an international organization, why bother getting involved in this muddy water? If that old fellow knew that it sold out Wei Yanwu, it was possible he would become suspicious of it.

"Although I don't know the specific reason, I believe you yourself know why. I want to caution you, that old fellow is not a good person; if he thinks you are a threat, having you vanish off the face of the earth is not impossible."

Emperor naturally understood what kind of person its old friend was; if he suspected that Jeanne would pose a threat to Lungmen, there was truly a possibility he would take action against Jeanne.

"I understand this matter. I indeed have some misunderstandings with Lord Wei. But I have already explained it clearly with Officer Ch'en; I believe Lord Wei will get this news soon."

Jeanne expressed gratitude for Emperor's caution. That the other party could take the risk of being suspected by Wei Yanwu to tell her this already explained the other party's thoughts. And after hearing that Jeanne had already communicated with Ch'en, the serious expression in Emperor's eyes weakened a bit. It seemed the relationship between both sides had not stiffened to that extent.

"Since it's all resolved, that's good. I don't want to see a scene where you two sides are hostile. If so, I'll go over and watch them play games."

After speaking, Emperor waddled away, and at this time, its walking was obviously much lighter; it really looked like a carefree penguin. For Emperor, if the matter between both sides was resolved, that would be great. Their Penguin Logistics was just a small company, earning a little money by intelligence and transportation, and could be replaced by others at any time... Speaking of which, if Penguin Logistics really goes bankrupt in the future, do I have a chance to enter the internet industry? I heard the internet now is even more profitable than selling arms...

"It's really hard on this boss; being caught in the middle of you people is simply a real-life version of being between a rock and a hard place!"

Lemuen smiled as she looked at Jeanne, lamenting about this Saintess and the things around her. As long as it involved things about this Saintess sister, no matter what it was, it was never simple.

"How can that be blamed on me? I just want to be a little more low-key, but I always end up entering the line of sight of some people."

Regarding Lemuen's teasing, Jeanne expressed that she was just an ordinary person. Those were all things that they brought upon themselves. Regarding this, Jeanne felt that she had experienced a bit too many things today, and needed to organize her thoughts well.

"Personally, I feel that if you want to find out something, you still need the help of the power within the city of Lungmen. It's unrealistic to rely on yourself alone to fight."

Lemuen also discovered Jeanne's troubles; she had indeed found some fragmented information, but the things involved behind this matter were not something she could easily accomplish relying on herself alone. And a better choice is to cooperate with Lungmen, relying on that developed intelligence network to find out the truth behind this matter; this is absolutely easier than her acting alone like now.

"Besides, didn't Talulah say that the next step is mainly to rest and reorganize, and there are no matters that need you to take action? Why are you so anxious to complete the matter now?"

Lemuen looked at Jeanne, who was thinking about what to do next, and advised her not to be too eager for results. Besides, Talulah had also said that this period is mainly for preparing to incorporate other teams, and there are no important matters for now.

As for Jeanne? She also discovered that wanting to complete the commission within a few days was actually an unrealistic thing. And the reason she thought this was normal was mainly because Revelation was simply too easy to use. In the past, she only needed to follow the guidance of Revelation to reach the right path. And all of this, without needing Jeanne to investigate anything, Jeanne, relying on Revelation, seemed to be taking a shortcut to quickly complete everything...

"You are right; it's because I have been able to resolve everything quickly in recent years that I am a bit anxious. Some things should slow down; running too fast makes it very easy to lose direction..."

Jeanne understood now; perhaps God discovered this point, which is why Revelation now keeps a minimum response, intending to use this non-dangerous incident to train Jeanne a bit. After all, Jeanne does not believe that the ability He gave her has issues with bugs, and no one has ever heard that God needs to fix bugs; that would estimate that God managing the world would be quite demanding on hair.
