Chapter 750 The mantis stalks the cicada
"Peeping is not a good habit...Alechino, is your mission at Fontaine to spy on me?"
Zuo Xi's eyes were still on Navia not far away, but he had already grabbed the wrist of the waiter who was serving him the food.
"If you were just watching from the side, I wouldn't bother to expose you. But what do you mean by getting so close? Do you want to see if my eyes are blurry?"
Seeing that Zuo Xi was not going to let go, the waiter beside him couldn't help but sigh.
"I was just asked by Sandone to see if you were hooking up with other girls... And speaking of peeping, I don't think you have the right to criticize me, right? Do you care so much about that young lady named Navia? I see you've been following her all afternoon."
After Alecino was exposed, she simply sat down. She did have a lot of business to deal with in Fontaine, but it was clear that Sandonnie's commission was more interesting.
And in fact, it was just as she worried, Zuo Xi was indeed doing something incomprehensible again... To be honest, Alechino didn't understand why Zuo Xi was following Navia.
It is not fair to say that he is a womanizer. After all, there are so many women around him, but only Sandone can really get his hands on them.
And as long as he is willing, it would not be difficult for others to do the same... She didn't believe that Zuo Xi didn't know this, and it was precisely because he knew this clearly that he was able to maintain the situation where only Sandone succeeded, which further proved that the other party was not a guy who liked to indulge in lust.
So what is so special about Navia? Alechino is a little curious about this... Don't be surprised, she is originally an intelligence worker, and collecting information about her superiors' preferences is one of her jobs.
"Sandoni actually commissioned you to do this kind of thing, but I'm actually more surprised that you would actually accept this kind of commission... Never mind, just do as you like."
Zuo Xi didn't expect that Alechino would be so bored. After he created the intelligent machine, Sandone had nothing to do every day, so she often did some anthropomorphic operations, which he could completely understand.
But you, Alechino, are also fooling around, right? Or are you just sitting around doing nothing? Then would you consider taking on the mission package?
"Alechino, how much do you know about that organization? Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about."
Anyway, the other party had already sat down, and Zuo Xi was bored just watching from here, so he just chatted with Alechino.
Whether Alechino knew about the organization that utilized the water of the primordial fetal sea and the culprit behind the serial disappearances of young girls... this was debatable, but there was no way she was unaware of it.
Fontaine was originally the base of Alechino, or it could be said that this was the base she took over from the previous generation of [servants]. Now it is known that there must be a connection between that organization and the Fatui, so Zuo Xi is more inclined to believe that the previous generation of [servants] were also involved.
The peace in recent years is probably because the replacement of the executive officer was too sudden. The organization did not understand the situation so chose to stay quiet for a while, and the cooperation with the Fatui seemed to have been restrained a lot.
After being silent for such a long time, the other party was ready to throw dirty water on them as soon as they made a move. I think they finally realized that Alechino was different from the previous servants, and it was destined to be difficult to carry out the same transaction as before.
So the question now is, how much knowledge does Alechino have about this matter? Zuo Xi knows that she is dealing with the mess of the previous generation bit by bit, so she should have investigated this matter.
Assuming that Alechino knows certain inside information, Lini and his team's mission becomes quite intriguing.
"It sounds like my current situation seems to be a bit dangerous... Lord Urken, can you allow me to defend myself?"
Alechino was a smart person, she knew that this was the other party's initiative to give her a way out. She seized this opportunity to explain clearly, and nothing would happen.
And if her explanation is not satisfactory to the other party, the next cleaning may fall on her head.
She never doubted Zuo Xi's ability. Kindness was indeed his quality, but being swift and decisive without mercy was also his label.
"No, there's no need... To be honest, I'm not that interested in Fontaine's affairs. Alechino, I am willing to trust you because I believe in my judgment of people.
I just want to know how far you have traced it, and what your attitude is towards that organization... I am not interested in Fontaine's affairs, but Alechino... I am very interested in you."

"Myles, the financial situation of our Thorn Rose Society... how long can it sustain the brothers?"
After coming out of the Debo Hotel, Navia has been walking on the street with Miles and Silver. The financial situation of the Rose Society is not optimistic now, and they almost have to spend every penny carefully.
The meal just now made the already poor Thorn Rose Society even worse off... Now she really began to worry that her brothers would have no food to eat.
Although Uncle Marcelle's financial support was generous, she couldn't just squander it because of that...there were too many places where she needed to spend the money.
"Miss, you don't have to worry about such trivial matters. The financial situation of the Thorn Rose Society is worrying, but the brothers will always be able to think of a way to survive."
As the older one, Myles automatically took on the responsibility of comforting Navia. Although the lady looked anxious now, the problem of funds was indeed not so easy to solve.
"That's right, young lady. And with all due respect, I don't think this kind of goal of seeking sponsorship can solve our financial problems..."
Navia took the two of them for a walk on the street, actually wanting to try her luck and see if she could get some sponsorship or something.
But in fact, everyone is familiar with the Rose Thorn Society. Those who would sponsor them have already done so, and those who did not sponsor them in the past will not do so now either.
Navia knew all this, and what she did was just self-consolation at best. If you were to ask whether it had any effect, then psychological comfort could be considered an effect.
"Alas... Of course I know all this... Never mind, there's no point in worrying about this.
Hmm? When did a drink shop appear in front of us? Let me see... "Opening promotion, limited time discount, free tasting"... We have nothing to do, Silver, Myles, let's go take a look."
