This was the third day since Gu Li arrived in the outer city of Grantham, and just as Jack had said, he was in this house isolated from the outside world.

The two girls received extremely careful treatment. The girl who waited outside their room every day to provide them with three meals was named Lisa. She was a lovely girl with red hair, fair skin, and a few freckles on her face.

Gu Li put on the clothes the girl had brought from outside. It was a long skirt with a leather cinching design below the chest, and the length just fell on the top of her leather shoes.

She subtly tugged at the hem of her skirt; it was the only garment that could cover her calves. Lisa, who had brought the clothes, was staring blankly at the hem of her skirt.

Gu Li smiled naturally at her: "You promised to take us out for a walk today, let's go, Lisa."

Lucy was wearing a riding-style shirt and tight-fitting trousers, along with brown leather riding boots that covered her calves.

Standing behind Gu Li, she exuded a gentle yet capable aura.

Lisa carefully withdrew her gaze from the two of them, and thinking of Gu Li calmly tying a weapon under her skirt just now, she secretly shrank her neck.

Uncle Barry warned her to be careful of the guard named Lucy.

But Lisa still inexplicably felt that the slender girl with beautiful hair and eyes always made her subconsciously tense.

Lisa handed over two blindfolds and whispered, "It's been a bit dangerous in the outer city lately, so please be careful when you go out, ladies."

Gu Li adjusted the longsword hidden under her skirt to make it less conspicuous. In addition, Lisa, with her sharp eyes, also vaguely spotted a leather gun holster on her thigh.

A dagger was strapped to her long, slender calves.

With a somewhat strange expression, she led her people out of the villa, wondering whether this young lady was going out for a stroll as she had said, or going out to find someone to fight.

The three stopped in a secluded alley. Through the light from outside the alley, they could see vendors hawking their wares. Gu Li looked away.

This area has a more lived-in feel than the Lower Sixth District.

Lisa told them she would be waiting for them there at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Li caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the alleyway out of the corner of his eye. His gaze shifted, and he suddenly asked another question: "Where is your mortal enemy's camp?"

For these organizations, the locations of their bases were all disguised, but Gu Li did not believe that White Eagle knew nothing about its mortal enemy.

As expected, Lisa hesitated. When she met those sky-blue eyes, she stammered as she tried to deny it. Finally, under that smiling gaze, she said dejectedly, "I don't know where it is. I'll ask Barry first."

As expected, Barry did indeed have clues about the base there.

She took the flip phone from Lisa and curiously poked the starfish nestled inside. The overly soft texture made her raise an eyebrow.

Barry's gloomy voice came from the starfish: "Let's make it clear first, I don't mind causing some trouble for the red-clothed guy, provided it doesn't burn the white eagle's tail."

Gu Li seemed to hear a sharp collision sound coming from the other side, and Barry followed up, "Miss, I don't know what you want to do here, but at least at the time of Christmas, the red-clothed side will only be more dangerous."

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Barry fell silent. He suddenly raised his voice: "Miss Lucy! Don't blame me for being long-winded, but it's very dangerous to go there now. You don't want anything to happen to Miss Gu Li, do you?"

Lisa nodded in agreement.

The White Eagles always carefully avoided the territory of the red-clad guards, never venturing there. They had heard that it wasn't just filled with baptized guards, but also harbored something deeper and more terrifying.

Then she noticed the interest gradually rising in Gu Li's eyes.

Gu Li: "In that case, you should tell us the clues. This is our first condition."

Lucy stepped forward knowingly: "Please rest assured, we will not implicate White Eagle."

Rather, if things really get out of hand, the swarm of red bees might not have the energy to deal with other places.

After a moment of silence, Barry gave an address: "Go here, find the bartender and tell him you want to serve the Mother Goddess, and they will take you to the outskirts of the Red Bee Base."

Finally, he warned, "They accept anyone who comes, but everyone who is taken there becomes a member of the Red Bees. I've never heard of anyone escaping. Be careful."

Gu Li and Lucy exchanged a glance, probably anticipating the location of the others.

Gu Li returned the phone to Lisa, his eyes appearing somewhat cold, as if he were thinking about something.

Lisa gripped her phone tightly, and unconsciously began to tense up again.

"You don't need to wait for us tonight. We'll find a way to contact you after we're done. Goodbye."

Lisa looked at the two slender figures from behind, her expression somewhat bewildered; they were actually going to find the Red Bee.

Isn't that just going to your death?!

But Miss Guli's steps remained as composed as ever. There seemed to be something about them that she didn't understand, something she had seen in Barry and Jack.

Every member of the White Eagles bids farewell to their fallen comrades in this way.

Lisa opened her mouth and then slowly closed it again. Had one of their companions also been captured by the person in red?

A feeling of sadness and reluctance welled up in her heart.

Gu Li suddenly heard Lisa's cautious voice behind her: "I wait here every afternoon at six o'clock. Please come back safely."

She waved behind her, saying, "It's not safe lately, go home early."

The two walked into the street, with Lucy half a step behind Gu Li, blending naturally into the crowd until her figure gradually disappeared.

On the second floor of a shop behind the two men, Henry, dressed in casual clothes, sat by the window, while his cronies across from him mocked his disastrous military campaign and his ignominious retreat.

"Hahahaha, I'm serious. You couldn't even take that kind of place? Did you overindulge before the war?"

Henry took a small sip of his wine, and the ordinary suit he wore made him look exceptionally noble and dashing.

Henry glanced at him casually, his voice carrying a hint of ambiguity: "Yeah, maybe you really should give it a try."

The image of those blue eyes, tinged with fighting spirit and exceptionally sharp and beautiful, resurfaced in his mind.

"You need to see for yourself what's going on over there before you come back and tell me."

Of course, Henry glanced contemptuously at the person opposite him. If it was this kind of scum who went there, it would be no wonder they didn't come back.

The person opposite him froze for a moment. It wasn't that they didn't want to go, but that they weren't qualified to be assigned.

Henry was unhappy.

He hesitated for a moment before raising his glass to apologize, but the man opposite him suddenly straightened up, his gaze fixed on a certain spot outside the window.

He glanced over instinctively and saw a beautiful head of long, golden hair disappear around the street corner.

"You like blonde sweethearts? Would you like me to introduce you to one?"

Henry raised his hand to block his hand, glanced at him with annoyance in his narrow eyes, and walked out.

"I'll go check, you don't need to come along."
