Chapter 536: Chapter 536 Lucina’s Heroine Defense Battle

The next afternoon, Lucina was stationed with Hall and Priskin on the mandatory route for the Manning Cleaning Company vehicles.

The three of them were sitting in an old black sedan, long parked in Pihom’s garage, previously used to test if it could leap over a broken bridge during a bank robbery.

Although Hall and Priskin didn’t quite approve of this robbery, they definitely had to help Lucina out. Strictly speaking, they wanted to take the opportunity to convince Lucina to pull out of the heist plan.

After all, Lucina was just an ordinary person, not to mention comparing her with Chen Ke, even compared to a normal Spiritual Ability User, Lucina was significantly out of her depth.

Priskin sat in the back seat, quiet during the drive, while Hall sat in the passenger seat, chatting intermittently with Lucina, trying to bring up the subject.

But Lucina was intensely focused on the intersection, repeatedly comparing it to the paper map in her hands, constantly checking their route and timing.

"Why did we pick this one? Isn’t the route bad? Leaving at noon, most of the time it’s on the main drag of Holy Oak, too many people around. If we really went for it, hard to not get noticed," Hall said.

"I know, but Chen Ke isn’t one for waiting, the car with a better route isn’t available until next week," Lucina said.

"It sounds like you’re working for him now," Hall said.

Lucina glanced at Hall, her brows furrowed in anger.

"I didn’t mean anything by it... Lucina, I have no issues with him, but... you should think about yourself, especially when he hasn’t thought about you," Hall said.

"Chen Ke isn’t Pi, and I’m not his lackey. This is something we’ve decided to do, and you don’t have the right to tell me he hasn’t thought about me," Lucina said.

"If he had thought about you, he wouldn’t drag you into this mess. We’re talking about robbing the Administration Bureau..." Hall tried to persuade.

"He was strongly against me joining. You don’t know him well enough," Lucina said.

Priskin, who had been silent, leaned over the back of Hall’s seat.

"Do you know what I’m trying to say, little Lu? The Administration Bureau is the most heavily guarded place in Opportunity City, bar none. Countless robberies happen every day in this world, but think back, have you ever heard of any Administration Bureau being robbed?" Priskin asked.

"No," Lucina said.

"Let me ask you another question, do you have Spiritual Energy?" Priskin continued.

"No... what the hell are you trying to say?" Lucina was getting irritated.

"Lucina, the rules Pi set aren’t without reason. Against Spiritual Ability Users, your muscles might as well be sausages under the knife. Chen Ke and his friends with Extraordinary Abilities could easily handle those agents and walk away unscathed. But what about you? That day you’d only be wearing a bulletproof vest, holding an automatic rifle as good as a fire poker, getting shot into a sieve by the whole building’s agents," Priskin said.

"We have a plan, Chen Ke has thought everything through, he will arrange it. Just stop asking," Lucina shook her head.

"The Chen Ke I know isn’t the type to plan... Lucina, has he ever told you why he wants that Holy Diamond?" Priskin asked.

"He has his plans, some things he doesn’t need to tell me. Are you questioning him?" Lucina retorted.

"No, we have no qualms about him, especially since... he even saved me. We just care about you, remember? The mailman was like a lump of colorful clay squished together, and now two chunks have been dug out of that lump. We’re what’s left," Hall said.

Lucina sighed, resting her hands on the steering wheel.

"Chen Ke can take care of himself, but I don’t think he could protect you from the Administration Bureau’s assault. We don’t want to lose our little sister, that’s all," Priskin said.

"Since he once persuaded you not to take part in this, why do you insist on joining?" Hall asked, perplexed.

"I... I, Hall, Priskin, I’m only telling you guys," Lucina said.

"Fuck... is there really some hidden secret...?" Priskin’s eyes lit up, and he leaned forward a bit more.

"Chen Ke knows a woman, I don’t know how long they’ve known each other... but they seem very intimate, both their conversations and eye contact are extremely close," Lucina said.

"Is the woman pretty?" Hall asked.

"To be honest, if I were a man, I would want to get close to her too," Lucina admitted.

"So you mean... you’re jealous?" Priskin said.

"A sense of crisis from another woman? That makes sense. Are you sure Chen Ke and her are not more than friends?" Hall asked insightfully.

"He told me they’re just friends, and I’d rather believe that. At least... at least even if they were involved before, I don’t care. Chen Ke is mine now, that’s enough!" Lucina said.

"Just for that, you want to participate in this operation?" Hall found it hard to believe.

"That female agent seems to have gone through some things with Chen Ke, and she’s done something for him. Think about it, in Chen Ke’s adventures, there seems to be no place for me, and I haven’t done anything for him," Lucina said, holding her forehead.

"Lucina, that’s nothing, the character introduction in this book even says that you’re the female lead," Hall consoled.

"But... what she has gone through makes her seem more like the female lead... She’s prettier, has a nice figure, and on top of that, she now has extraordinary abilities," Lucina’s voice choked up.

Hall patted Lucina’s back to comfort her, unable to think of anything else to say to console her.

"You’re not bad either, Lucina, you’re so sexy... hot, and besides... he likes you a lot, doesn’t he?" Priskin said.

"But men are fickle, aren’t they? She has the ability to act with Chen Ke, and they are already very close. Over time, our relationship might change..." Lucina said.

"I get what you mean... which is to say, you are Chen Ke’s, but Chen Ke isn’t yours anymore... just like in some stallion novels, the protagonist meets many girls along the way and then... collects them like models, locking you all up in a big estate, and you have to call each other sisters..." Hall vividly explained.

Lucina’s hands gripping the steering wheel were shaking, veins bulging on the back of her hands. That weird apartment, just as Hall described, really was fucking similar to the estate, and Diana had indeed moved in.

"No... I won’t let that happen... If she competes with me, I’ll strangle her," Lucina said coldly.

"But didn’t you say the woman has extraordinary abilities? Can you strangle her?" Priskin asked.

"Either that or be strangled by her... One female lead is enough for this book!" Lucina said fiercely. Whether she was getting emotional or not, her arm muscles tensed up as she spoke, and the steering wheel emitted a pained groan.

"Don’t break... that steering wheel... you know this car isn’t in the best condition," Priskin reminded.

"Chen Ke isn’t even willing to reveal his intentions to you, and he must be aware of the risks you’re facing in this operation... I think you should have a serious talk with him," Hall suggested.

"Don’t give reckless advice, Hall, in this situation, the best choice for Lucina is probably to throw a girly tantrum, any excuse will do, get his attention off that woman," Priskin said.

"But she’s putting herself in the most dangerous position, and I feel like Chen Ke doesn’t care about her life or death," Hall shook his head.

Lucina sighed. Her head was a mess. It was fine when she had kept it all inside, but now, after discussing it with them, their talk had made her feel confused and annoyed.

At that moment, a grayish-blue van passed them on the left.

"Time to get back to business!" Lucina started the car and followed.
