"Buy...buy...sir...sheng..."

A young, stammering voice in Chinese sounded behind him.

He turned around and saw a little girl, a little over one meter tall, holding a bamboo flower basket on her head and holding it with both hands, trying to stop him from behind.

Seeing him turn around, the little girl continued to stammer in Chinese, "Lucky...lucky..."

He looked at the contents of the flower basket on the little girl's head.

It was filled with 'talismans' that seemed to be woven out of some kind of tough grass blades. The whole thing was in the shape of a diamond, with beautiful patterns in the middle.

He Ao glanced at the little girl's cheek and asked in Tiya, "Did you make this up?"

Hearing his words, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened for a moment. She seemed not to have expected that Heao's Tiya language was so fluent, and then she quickly replied, "My grandma and I made this, Newland's straw weaving."

Talismans are very useful. They keep you safe and lucky. Brother, do you want to buy one? It's not expensive, it's a gold shield."

The gold shield is the currency of the Theia Empire, and one Chinese earth coin is approximately equal to 2.5 gold shields.

For He Ao, it was equivalent to 40 cents each.

"Let me have one."

He Ao stretched out his hand, took a talisman, and left a gold shield in cash.

The last time he came to buy milk powder near the Tia Empire, he exchanged a lot of gold shields.

"Thank you, brother. Yin Na, the goddess of storm and luck, will protect you. Brother will definitely make a fortune in the future."

The little girl took the money and said excitedly.

Yin Na is a god believed in near the city-state of Newland. For the Newland people who often go to sea, the goddess who controls the storm also controls their 'luck' whether they can return home alive.

"Then I hope you get rich too."

He Ao took away the amulet and smiled.

Hearing these words, the little girl was stunned for a moment. She looked at He Ao and nodded seriously, "Thank you, brother."

He Ao smiled, waved goodbye to the little girl, turned and walked out of the street.

Turning out of this pedestrian street and crossing a few alleys, a simple small building appeared in He Ao's field of vision.

This is the institute's branch in Newland. This branch has been isolated at this moment, and several people who look like members of Moonlight are guarding the outside of the branch.

It seems that Wu Lan hasn't arrived here yet. After all, she still has to gather people and arrange the handover before she can come over.

Moreover, flying is not as fast as the Velora.

He Ao paused here for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and continued to wander forward.

The sun continued to climb up in the sky, and He Ao found a restaurant and ordered a grilled steak. When he was about to have lunch, a middle-aged blond man who looked elegant and wore old-fashioned glasses sat down in front of He Ao.

"Oh, you came early."

He Ao glanced at the man in front of him and smiled casually, "Would you like something to eat?"

"No."

The man shook his head quickly, "My name is West, I am the person in charge of Moonlight in Newland,"

He paused and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Hao Yi, do you have any business in Newland?"

"Nothing,"

He Ao cut the steak in front of him and said slowly, "I'm just here for a trip. Is there a problem?"

“No problem, no problem,”

West wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Do you have a place to stay? The Maple Leaf Hotel in Newland is the most scenic and tallest building in Newland. I have arranged a presidential suite on the top floor for you..."

"Need not,"

He Ao smiled and shook his head, "I've finished shopping. Why don't you recommend another nearby place suitable for traveling?"

"ah?"

West glanced at He Ao, hesitated, and continued, "How about Willen? It's surrounded by mountains and has a different style than Newland, which is spread over the sea."

"Okay, thank you."

He Ao nodded slightly, and then he continued to cut the steak slowly and stopped talking.

West understood that this was seeing off guests, he nodded, bowed slightly and stood up, "Then eat slowly."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly left the shop.

The moment he walked out of the store, the sound of a train passing by sounded behind his ears.

He immediately looked back.

The seat where the young man originally sat was now empty.

——

"'Hao Yi' has left?"

In the magnificent room, the person sitting in the main seat asked in a low voice.

"According to our intelligence, someone saw him in Willen."

The person on the left side of the main seat whispered, "The Velora is indeed a good thing. It comes so suddenly from such a long distance."

"What does this 'Hao Yi' mean?"

The man in charge lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"He has always been close to the institute. I'm afraid he came to give the institute a platform,"

The person on the right side of the main seat said, "This is putting pressure on 'Moonlight' to cooperate with the investigation. The appearance of Class B from the institute will trigger a strong rebound from Moonlight. His appearance here will not cause so much trouble. After all,

On the surface, he is still neutral."

"No matter what his purpose is, the appearance of this guy will probably seriously affect our plans,"

The person on the left side of the main seat whispered, "When a B-class appears, it will attract the attention of other B-classes one after another, leaving us little time to do things."

"It seems we have to move faster."

The person sitting in the main seat whispered. He glanced at the person on the left, "Hu Wen rejected our request?"

"Yes,"

The person on the left nodded slightly, "Lunke, who was sent to contact Hu Wen's forces, has returned."

"Is that Lenk a D-class?"

The person in charge continued to ask, "How are you?"

"Bloodthirsty and violent, he is a villain who kills people indiscriminately and for no reason."

The person on the left commented.

"This is the kind of person who fits our teachings,"

The chief nodded, "Send someone to contact him. We are in urgent need of manpower now."

"Do we really want to speed up the process?"

The person on the right asked in a low voice, "The Velora is so fast, what if 'Hao Yi' comes back halfway?"

"The arrow must be fired when it is on the string,"

The person in charge raised his head and looked at the sea and city outside the window, "It's just an ordinary B-class. Even if he has the Verora, it's easy to kill him."

"Hao Yi has already been to Newland City-State?"

Li Cheng, the director of the institute, who was sitting in the office, was slightly surprised.

"Dean, wasn't it you who contacted him?"

Wu Lan in the remote video was also a little surprised.

"I was the one who contacted him, I just didn't expect him to move so quickly,"

Li Cheng rubbed his brows, "But he has shown his face in Newland City, so the people over at Yueguang probably won't give you any tricks. Yueguang now has no confidence to offend a neutral B-level anymore. This

That's good news, you should feel a lot more relaxed."

"So Dean, what did it cost you to ask him to come forward?"

Wu Lan asked curiously.

"I don't know either,"

Li Cheng shrugged, "He said he would ask me to do him a favor later."
