Alliance Headquarters.
In a round-table conference room.
"Cherry Blossom City?"
"Su Muwan has unified Cherry Blossom City?"
"And became the branch head there?"
"Is this even reasonable?"
Everyone silently stared at the virtual projection displayed on the table.
In the image, Su Muwan sat on a grand throne in a parade, with Qin Luo standing beside her, smiling and feeding her fruits.
On both sides, the crowd raised their hands, jumping and cheering joyfully.
The man at the head of the table looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Who said Su Muwan was just going on a vacation?"
"What kind of person goes on a three-day trip and ends up unifying a city while becoming its branch head?"
Li Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, also falling silent.
However, he calmly replied, "Cherry Blossom City has always been under Kuroda Yama's management. If something like this happened, he should bear the greatest responsibility."
Kuroda Yama...
At the mention of this name, the expressions of those at the table darkened.
This man was a genuine scoundrel, reckless and lawless.
Many in the room had long disliked him, but unfortunately... his invincible underworld system made him stronger the more subordinates he had.
Even without the constraints of the "Peaceful Coexistence Among Comrades" clause, they dared not easily take action against him.
The man at the head of the table remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Has anyone contacted Kuroda Yama? Since it's his jurisdiction, let him handle this matter."
"Su Muwan has already caused us to lose one member last time, and now she's secretly taken over an entire city."
"Although the leader said strength is paramount, we can't let her run wild like this."
Everyone nodded.
Even though Su Muwan was also a Transcender, if left unchecked, she might cause a catastrophe.
So, it was better to bring her into the fold sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, as everyone discussed, Su Bailian trembled in a corner.
She stared at the image of Su Muwan and Qin Luo, her eyes wide with shock.
Wait a minute!
Wasn't this supposed to be just a vacation?
How did they manage to stir up so much trouble out there?
Huh?
Two people?
Unified a city in just a few days?
What kind of twisted joke is this?
Su Muwan, are you trying to get yourself killed?
Your little sister is still stuck in the Alliance!!
Su Bailian had spent these days figuring out the internal structure of the Alliance.
Including everyone's names, hobbies, and so on.
Let's just say... this place was even more dangerous than the Rakshasa Palace back in the day!
Wahhh!!
I don't want to do this anymore!
Su Bailian thought, on the verge of tears.
Wang Yun sat beside Su Bailian, seeing her worried expression, and couldn't help but sigh and feel anger.
He sighed because Bailian cared so deeply for her sister, Su Muwan, despite the latter's toxic nature.
He was angry because such a sweet girl like Bailian was being tormented and humiliated by Su Muwan, that venomous woman!
"Bailian, don't worry. Even if that toxic woman Su Muwan joins the Alliance, I won't let her bully you," Wang Yun said earnestly, looking at Su Bailian.
Wahhh... is that really what I'm worried about?
Su Bailian cried internally. If they could actually bring her in, fine, but if they couldn't, would I get dragged into this mess?
No... I need to speed up my reputation-building within the Alliance!
At that moment.
BANG!!
The door was suddenly flung open.
A burly man with tattoos covering his arms and a buzzcut walked in, his presence immediately freezing the atmosphere in the room.
The man at the head of the table spoke calmly, "You're just in time. I assume you're aware of the situation."
"Hmph!"
Kuroda Yama cracked his neck, glaring at the image of Su Muwan on the table. Clenching his fists, he growled, "How dare she stick her hands into my territory?"
"Don't worry."
"Leave this to me. I'll bring that rookie back to headquarters!"
Su Bailian, sensing the tension, cautiously peeked at the man who had barged into the room.
Her eyes filled with disdain.
Ugh, a muscle-headed brute who talks big.
Su Bailian could already tell—someone like this would be put in their place with just one slap from Qin Luo.
She had no interest in dealing with such people.
With Kuroda Yama taking charge, the others were more than happy to sit back and relax.
Time passed.
It was now noon.
Ye Zhidie, dressed in a black robe, and Wang Xiaohua were walking toward the cafeteria.
"Um... is Yiyi really not coming back?" Wang Xiaohua timidly asked Ye Zhidie.
In the headquarters, Ye Zhidie was one of her few friends.
Hearing this, Ye Zhidie scoffed, "Hmph, what does it matter if that hypocrite comes back or not?"
"Okay..."
Wang Xiaohua shrank her neck, wanting to say that she thought Yiyi was actually quite nice.
Last time, when she lent Yiyi her umbrella because of the rain, Yiyi had even thanked her.
Ye Zhidie seemed to sense Wang Xiaohua's thoughts and placed a hand on her head, exclaiming, "Wait, Xiaohua, you don't actually think Yiyi is a good person, do you?"
"Don't let someone like her fool you."
Ye Zhidie believed she was one of the few sane people in the headquarters who hadn't fallen for Yiyi's act.
She knew Yiyi all too well—the woman was a master of hypocrisy.
To give an example, Yiyi was the type to say, "Oh, he's so pitiful, someone should help him," while doing nothing herself. A classic "virtue-signaling" hypocrite.
"Oh, okay..."
Wang Xiaohua could only nod repeatedly under Ye Zhidie's hand. Then,
"Huh?"
"Zhidie, look over there."
She seemed to have noticed something and quickly pointed in a direction.
Ye Zhidie followed her gaze.
There,
a staff member was dragging a large garbage bag, looking troubled as he slowly made his way to the disposal area.
Rip!
It seemed like something sharp inside had torn the bag.
The garbage spilled out, scattering across the ground.
The staff member's face immediately turned frustrated. "Ah... how did this happen..."
At that moment,
Su Bailian happened to pass by.
She walked up to the staff member and said in surprise, "Big brother, can you manage this all by yourself...?"
"Oh no!"
She seemed to have just noticed the torn garbage bag, her small mouth forming an "O" as she expressed concern, "The bag's torn."
The staff member, seeing it was Su Bailian, quickly wiped away his frustration and blushed slightly.
Over the past few days, Su Bailian had been going around, showing genuine care for the ordinary staff, and they had all grown fond of this innocent girl.
He wiped his nose and chuckled, "It's fine, it's fine. I'll clean it up right away."
Meanwhile, Ye Zhidie watched from a distance.
She smirked and shook her head confidently, "Oh, that new girl replacing Yiyi? Trust me, she's cut from the same cloth."
"Want to bet she'll just offer a few words of concern and then walk away?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
Su Bailian left.
"See?"
Ye Zhidie shrugged and stepped forward, "Let's go help."
"Uh... wait, Zhidie."
Wang Xiaohua tilted her head thoughtfully and pointed, "Look... she's coming back."
Ye Zhidie: ?
She paused, then turned to look.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
