108: Chapter 0108 True Yuri

Additionally, through Lina's intelligence, Li Size learned information that even the Dark Web and Fei Li's department were unaware of:

The Miners Brotherhood had recently and quietly opened a new smuggling route, which Lina was directly responsible for operating.

This explained why the former leader, Blackwood, had intensified his coercion and control over Lina this year—

He not only wanted to strengthen control over this strategically valuable smuggling channel but also intended to possess Lina herself.

The moment he thought of that slovenly-faced, sinister former leader, Li Size couldn't help but scoff internally.

Fortunately, he intervened in time, saving Lina from harm.

What surprised him even more was that Lina was not as cold and ruthless as she appeared; instead, she held a high yearning and loyalty toward emotion.

She still maintained her virginity, firmly resisting Blackwood's advances.

She had originally prepared for a situation where both sides would suffer heavy losses:

Either overthrow the leader and establish herself as the ruler, or die uncompromisingly rather than suffer humiliation.

This fierce yet resolute attitude deeply moved Li Size, Felina, and Gelia.

Felina and Gelia exchanged a knowing smile, saying to Li Size with a hint of relief:

"It seems it was the right decision not to let you contract Lina.

Otherwise, what we see now would probably be a corpse who committed suicide to preserve her purity."

Li Size did not argue, although he had never intended to personally contract Lina—because the location for the subjugation mission was a women's clothing store, and a male presence would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, the executor could only be one of Felina, Gelia, or Flora.

Considering the subsequent management needs of the Miners Brotherhood, Flora, who could be stationed in Woergin permanently, was obviously the more suitable candidate.

However, at this moment, Li Size noticed details that Felina and the others had missed:

The way Lina gazed at Flora, besides the absolute obedience of a slave to a master, held a starlight-like emotion bordering on worship—

That was the same light he usually only saw in Felina's eyes after they were intimate.

Perhaps for Lina, Flora's appearance was not oppression, but rather a form of salvation; she viewed her as a symbol of true love arriving.

Li Size couldn't help but feel the burden on his shoulders grow heavier. How should he save this beautiful gang leader with an abnormal view of love?

First, shouldn't he at least make her accept bisexuality?

The secret smuggling route Lina had newly opened was exceptionally important under the current tense situation, and she knew the stakes involved, allowing for no mistakes.

This channel was not only geographically complex and highly concealed but also bypassed the surveillance of several giant organizations.

Furthermore, because it was newly established, the Feiting Federation believed it was still a secret from the Crimson Soul Duchy.

Through this route, Rice, Felina, and the others could more covertly acquire supporting Materials from within the Feiting Federation:

Including medical supplies, intelligence equipment, forged documents, and other critical resources.

Simultaneously, it also facilitated Rice and the others to safely transfer items or information obtained through secret operations within the Crimson Soul Duchy that were inappropriate for public disclosure back to the Federation.

All of this significantly enhanced the safety and sustainability of Rice's infiltration operation in Crimson Soul, allowing the entire plan to proceed more smoothly behind the scenes.

Li Size recalled having to consider authorizing certain factions of the Feiting Federation to use 'Intellectual Rights' to produce the 'little sorcerer donkey,' which was initially a compromise made due to a lack of channels.

However, the situation was different now:

With this smuggling line, he could arrange his plans more calmly, and even leverage some of the Feiting Federation's power to jointly resist the commercial attacks from the giant institutions.

Li Size knew that the giant institutions' methods would never be limited to assassination.

He had recently been continuously analyzing past cases provided by Payne, as well as common commercial warfare strategies from Earth's history.

He speculated that the opponents might adopt multiple methods to pressure him, including: malicious acquisitions, raw material blockades, smear campaigns, surprise inspections, land disputes, malicious imitation, and even poaching talent.

Facing such a multi-pronged offensive, he alone could not fully resist it.

Therefore, he had long been thinking about how to leverage external forces to break the deadlock.

Now, Lina's successful opening of this route undoubtedly provided him with new possibilities.

He planned to use the smuggling channel to transport resources in reverse as an exchange, striving for material support from certain powers within the Feiting Federation.

This was not just a circulation of Materials; it was a strategic alliance.

He intended to use this grand momentum to gather the strength of various parties and crush the insidious enemies hidden behind the scenes in one fell swoop.

Li Size revealed the deep foresight of the Feiting Federation's strategists layer by layer to the four women, not just to win their admiration and praise, but also so that they—

Especially Flora and Lina—could understand the current situation from a broader perspective, thus better grasping and executing the plans he had next.

His tone was calm and firm, every word seeming meticulously crafted:

"Flora, Lina, your most important task next is to consolidate the results of this smuggling line.

Remember, anyone who comes into contact with this line must be absolutely trustworthy and completely under our control.

We must ensure this channel is not only safe but even more covert, existing like a shadow outside the light."

Seeing the two women listening intently and taking mental notes, he nodded slightly and continued:

"The Miners Brotherhood's past way of survival—collecting protection fees, arson, killing, and looting—must be thoroughly changed.

That is not only unsustainable but will also attract countless enemies.

Future development involves:

One, establishing a stable and secret source of raw Mining Materials.

Two, systematically cultivating technical workers capable of operating the armory and manufacturing facilities for the little sorcerer donkey and witchcraft motorcycle.

You must survey suitable locations within the territory we control as soon as possible to prepare for the construction of the armory and the little sorcerer donkey factory."

His gaze was far-reaching, as if he could already see the surging undercurrents approaching.

The struggle against those giant organizations would absolutely not be a small-scale friction, but a heart-stopping contest.

Since Li Size had foreseen the crisis long ago, he would never allow his side to be caught unprepared.

Moreover, he urgently needed more Gold Coins now—many skills had reached the proficiency level for advancement, but due to a shortage of Gold Coins, he was delayed from achieving a Pay-to-Win Breakthrough.

Progress relying solely on daily practice and comprehension was too slow; time waited for no man.

Even without external threats, he had to quickly lay out plans and expand production scale again after returning to the Academy.

"Yes! Master!" Flora responded without hesitation.

"Yes! Great Master!" Lina also responded, bowing her head, though her tone carried a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor.
