Gāgǔlā is somewhat satisfied with your feelings toward them.

This is the comprehension ability of a beast controller.

"That's an ability only you can do, right?" Gui She didn't let go, "Among us, the only person who can truly communicate with beasts without hindrance has always been you."

I think everyone could do it, they just don't want to.

Really? Can Aomo do it?

"Yes," Chen nodded, "He's always been able to."

"Oh, really?" Gui She, who had stayed in Europe and America for a long time, also began to adopt a Western-style exclamation.

"Now we really have to be compared to this otherworldly guy like him? Being liked by the goddess just lets you be this outrageous?"

"... Here, we are the ones from another world."

"Don't worry about this!" Gui She wiped his face, "Anyway, what are you here for? Are you here to argue with me?"

"I came to check on Luzasi's condition, but now I'm worried you'll do something off-plan."

"Off-plan... Have you made any plans?"

"We all have, you don't."

"... I need to go get a cup of water to drink." Gui She got up and said.

"Hmm."

Watching him go get water, Chen fell silent for a moment, then said: "If you want to protect them, it's better to consult Aomo."

"He has always been the person most familiar with this world."

"Ah, I know," Gui She wiped his mouth, displeased, "But it's not just these few days."

"Over the past half month, Luzasi has been concentrating all the money into some mysterious big project; my few companies are just channels for them to transfer money, with no real changes, but that guy Aomo has been pretty busy, right?"

"Not really sure." Chen said.

He rarely pays attention to the boss's emotional matters; that is always Gagula hard-to-digest content.

"The emotions of Central Teleisen are too rich and complex, making it hard to discern which part belongs to him."

"But even if you don't care about those emotions, you should know that the match those few girls under him are participating in is this afternoon, right?"

"You think those annoying guys just went to the Border Gate District for some vacation?"

"!"

"Sure, looks like you understood." Gui She nodded.

He felt that the biggest improvement with Chen not being like before is that there's now some room to talk, and he's willing to understand!

And while he was still feeling relieved, he heard the other party's question, which still had little variation:

"Are you sure they really went to the Border Gate District just to vacation?"

"What else could it be? Could they attack Aomo? Do they have that ability?"

"Attacking the lower-year horse girls doesn't require any ability."

Chen said this sentence that made Gui She's expression turn ugly.

"They don't even need the attack to succeed, just like last month's Jidong Cup."
