Chapter 165
A month later. Tienhai City. Police Headquarters. Yo.
Yes, it's not the most elegant way to put it, but at that moment, Kuvira genuinely resembled a cute little dog looking up at her beloved owner. All she needed was a wagging tail to complete the picture of devotion in her eyes. Even Zhu Li glanced at the police chief with a puzzled expression, though there was judgment in her gaze—directed at me, not Kuvira. That was fine, as until then, Zhu Li had been too formal, which I didn't like. I still remember her beet-red face when I invoked a clause in the contract—the dress code—and made her wear something like a miniskirt. If she'd truly objected, she could have resisted, but she enjoyed the way my eyes occasionally drifted down to her legs and hips. After all, every girl craves attention. The key is not to overdo it.
There was a reason for all this. Of course, I'm always happy to admire the figures of attractive women, but there was another purpose behind my obvious attention—I wanted to draw out her emotions and see what lay hidden in her heart. Slowly, she began to open up.
We've strayed from the topic, so let's return to Kuvira.
Honestly, I intended to shamelessly exploit the police chief's feelings to gain control over the resources of the law enforcement agency. Driya, Celine, and Gaia had quickly set up permanent surveillance on the Equalists. Knowing their plans, minimizing casualties wouldn't be difficult. The police here were as ruthless as the world itself—they'd take down criminals without hesitation. Yakone would surely stir the crowd into action. I wanted to prevent a potential massacre. Kuvira was reasonable, but she might be left with no choice. My intervention was necessary.
"Zhu Li, prepare something hot for us," I asked my assistant. She didn't need to know this yet. No, I'd had enough time to understand her character, and betrayal wasn't in her nature, but some things were better left unsaid for now.
"The walls here are thick, no one can eavesdrop..." So, I could tell Kuvira the true purpose of my visit. "Kuvira, you've realized by now that the same organization was behind all the attacks," I said, seeing her nod. "Soon, they'll escalate their actions, and I want you to listen to my advice because..."
"Okay!" she interrupted, agreeing immediately.
"I'm glad, but let me explain everything," I smiled, knowing Kuvira didn't treat others with such warmth. The scale of the Equalists' organization had made her serious—after all, some of her subordinates might be on the enemy's side.
