Meanwhile, on the other side, Lycahn was outlining the next move.
"Saving Mr. Rope Maker's friend is urgent, and time is of the essence. How about we split up?"
Ellen poked her head out from behind Fagar, bent down to look at the two paths Lycan had drawn on the ground, and muttered to herself:
"Hey, either do mental work in the control room, or do physical work moving batteries in the emergency power generation room?"
"So tiring~~ But moving things is still relatively easier. Fagga, let's go to the emergency power generation room."
"Um?"
Upon hearing Ellen's suggestion, Fagar raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
To be honest, Fagga was quite happy to go with Ellen to move the batteries.
But this is work, isn't it a bit...
"That's not bad either!"
Suddenly, Lina clapped her hands together, and then, as if remembering something, snatched the data panel from Lycan's hand and forcefully shoved it into Fagar's palm.
"Lina?"
Fagga looked up, a look of confusion gleaming behind his monocle.
Clina ignored this and gently patted Faga's shoulder with her delicate hand, instructing him, "Faga, although Ellen is usually a bit lazy, you can't look down on her."
"What? You're making it sound like I'm lazy."
Hearing Lina say that, Eileen was a little unhappy and pouted, saying, "If we keep energy consumption to a minimum during normal times, we can unleash more energy when it really matters!"
Yes, yes, yes.
Lina smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed, and placed her hand on Eileen's head, gently ruffling her hair. Eileen struggled a little, but only trembled slightly before letting Lina touch her.
Seeing this, Lina's smile softened even more, and she turned to look at Fagar: "And this way the combat power is more balanced... Anyway, Fagar, you should take Ellen to the emergency power generation room."
"Bon Voyage."
"Oh well."
Since it was an order from the organization, Faga respectfully obeyed and took Ellen with him to leave first, heading downstairs.
At the same time, Lycahn no longer hesitated, and like Fagar, he sat with Ies on his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Then, Lord Rope Craftsman, I entrust the way to the control room to you."
Ies smiled, his eyes narrowing, and said excitedly in a voice he had never used before, "No problem, leave it all to me!"
...
As is widely known, the Balai Building seems to possess an invisible magic:
No matter what time of day you go in, once you're inside the Balai Building, it's an endless night and a hazy moonlight.
Once you've left the Balai Building, the sky will return to normal.
At this moment, Nicole was standing in the sun. The sun was at its most intense two hours after noon, and Nicole was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
A man dressed as a lawyer appeared beside Nicole at some point. Seeing that she was still alone, he coldly spoke:
"Ms. Nicole, your companion has not yet arrived. May I assume that you have given up on this court appearance?"
"Are you kidding me? If Rabbit House doesn't appear in court, will you make up for the missing legal fees?"
Nicole was already getting annoyed, and when the opposing lawyer came over to mock her, she immediately took her anger out on him:
"And what about your defendant? I heard that Perlman was shot dozens of times by his own men. I'm afraid he's already paralyzed and can't even appear in court, right?"
“Watch your tone, Miss Nicole. If Mr. Perlman can’t even appear in court, then the verdict can’t be expected to be delivered tomorrow.”
The opposing lawyer straightened his suit, glanced at Nicole's casual attire with a hint of disdain, and turned away without another word.
"Besides, Mr. Perlman has already arrived."
They've arrived?
Upon hearing this, Nicole immediately suppressed her irritation. Her curiosity compelled her to follow the opposing lawyer's gaze and see what the short, stocky man who had supposedly survived dozens of gunshot wounds looked like now.
At first glance, Nicole's expression showed slight surprise, her mouth slightly agape, finding it hard to believe that the person in front of her was Perlman.
"Hi ladies and gentlemen, good morning, noon and evening. I am Charles Perlman, representative of Vision Industries!"
In my memory, the short, stout man was escorted out by the police as he walked on the floor.
But instead of being reserved at all, he waved his hands to emphasize his presence to the reporters around him.
Parading around in public!
The four words struck Nicole's heart like a hammer. She couldn't understand why Perlman felt no remorse whatsoever, but instead became even more arrogant.
However, that wasn't Nicole's biggest concern at the moment. She breathed heavily and turned to question the opposing lawyer beside her:
"Didn't he get hit by dozens of bullets? It's one thing if he didn't die, but how come he's just using a cane?"
Nicole was inwardly furious. Dozens of bullets? This damn Perlman didn't even need a wheelchair. Instead, as if he was deliberately trying to annoy them, he just went out with a cane.
"Of course, it's 50% technology combined with 50% money power."
The opposing lawyer pushed up his glasses, and when he turned his head, the lenses reflected the strange light in his eyes:
"So, Ms. Nicole? Do you feel even a little bit annoyed with this world?"
The opposing lawyer looked at Nicole with a mocking gaze, as if trying to see the anger and resentment on her face.
However, no.
The opposing lawyer was startled to see that Nicole had closed her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
"Unfortunately, no."
Nicole looked back, her gaze sweeping over the opposing lawyers, and said disdainfully, "On the contrary, it has strengthened my ultimate life goal of making a lot of money!"
"You... Hahahaha!!!"
The opposing lawyer suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face. Nicole was momentarily confused, thinking the man had lost his mind.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen, because the opposing lawyer quickly returned to normal.
