She... she is simply...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V coughed to interrupt Fiona, \"Cough cough, it’s the one next to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild Man King gave her a expressionless glance and pursed his lips towards Matt—who had grown a bit taller after training all day, but only close to 1.6 meters. Because he had swapped in some human-lizard muscle, it made his overall physique even leaner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matt’s qualities weren’t bad; in Luxor Sports Academy, he was considered to have a pretty good foundation, and he was still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Wild Man King, it was a bit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Fiona turned to look at Wild Man King, \"I’ve heard about you, you must be Matilda from the Animal Gang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V, with her nail art done on both hands, took a sip of water and said, \"Are you asking for death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiona froze in her action, \"Uh... well, let’s see this kid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t think we don’t recognize talent when we see it. The real gem is in Matt, and soon you’ll realize you were blind to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the next thing we’re going to talk about. This kid isn’t just a relation; he’s a specimen, his artificial muscles are a new variety, you’ll understand once you look at the data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to purchase this stuff, buy it from us. And your training program needs to change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... there should be a competition coming up soon, we could observe that, but as for Matilda...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V just stared at Fiona, hands crossed on her propped-up legs, giving her the creeps until she finally gave up the idea of pestering Wild Man King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She organized her thoughts and nodded with difficulty, \"I understand, I’ll tell you the usual smuggling routes and contacts we use, you can arrange it yourself. What kind of competition is this kid planning to enter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soccer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible. I can book a fitness test for him right now... uh, I remember you have another client?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, now that this place is our property, we can change the way it’s handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of your clients are evading taxes, the EEC wants to make some achievements, to expand their coffers, spill the beans, and we can close the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they don’t lack money, credibility still matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand...\" Fiona nodded, but quickly thought of a problem, \"You used your real names when you came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... you might not know, the power supply in Dog Town is everywhere, and Hansen doesn’t really meddle in our affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the channel you used for the application is an external communications frequency. Simply put, the Voodoo Gang is always monitoring it; other hackers and organizations will be watching it too. Essentially, the news that you guys came here to work is now known to the whole world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The EEC, despite loving money, wouldn’t go so far as to associate themselves with terrorists... I mean, they don’t really appreciate people like you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she thought, Fiona’s exceptionally high IQ suddenly realized that the EEC could just take the data and twist the story about its source, all the while playing the hero:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could send a different group of mercenaries for a probing attack here, then declare they’ve made significant progress in gathering evidence, while rectifying the source of that evidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone is going to attack this place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An alarm immediately appeared in Fiona’s vision:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Power supply has been cut off!
