"Are there any cities nearby that have thunderstorms?"
"Uh … I need to check the weather report."
"Okay, tell me as soon as possible."
"Oh, can the Association do artificial rain?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Uh … President, artificial rain is very expensive … Plus, we can't just rain in the city. We can only do it at sea … President, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing," Chen Zhao said calmly. "Practicing a spell."
"Oh, President, this is Gaia's request for weapons. Take a look and see if you agree."
"Isn't it just a request for weapons? What's there to disagree about? "Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.
"She's applying for two hundred thousand dollars."
Whoosh —
"Don't tell me she wants a weapon made of pure gold? That expensive? "
"It's not pure gold, but it's close," West said. "She wants a greatsword made of magic metal."
Chen Zhao flipped open the request. Gaia wanted a greatsword that was two meters long and weighed 900 kilograms. One-third of it was made of magic metal.
This meant that she needed at least 300 kilograms of magic metal.
Most of the 300 kilograms of magic metal were very precious materials.
The main reason was that these materials were very expensive.
"Agree. Gaia is the Association's main fighting force now. Her request isn't too much," Chen Zhao said. "Oh, I need it too. When you make weapons for Gaia, make one for me too."
"…"
"I'll pay for it myself, okay?" Chen Zhao spat.
"President, that's not what I mean."
"That's what you mean," Chen Zhao said, annoyed. "Fine, go do it."
…
Right now, Charlotte and Cindy were about to go crazy from the whispers in their ears.
However, they hadn't been sitting around waiting for death these few days.
"It's done!" Charlotte exclaimed happily.
Cindy immediately perked up. "Is it done?"
"Yes, it's finally done." Charlotte nodded and placed two paper figures on the table.
"Can this spell really be used?"
"A few years ago, an Eastern witch from the Witch Society taught me the Substitution Technique. Unfortunately, that witch later returned to the East," Charlotte said. "Come, pull out a strand of your hair and tie it to this."
Ten minutes later, Charlotte and Cindy walked out the door.
Engelite had been watching outside the door. When he saw them come out, he immediately became vigilant.
Normally, Engelite, West, Moore, and Morid took turns to be in charge of surveillance.
At this time, Charlotte and Cindy came to Engelite's window.
"Hi, Engelite, we are going to the supermarket. Do you want to come?"
After days of surveillance, they both knew of each other's existence.
English and the Supernatural Organization weren't professional stalkers, so their surveillance was basically aboveboard. Anyway, as long as they didn't leave their sight, Charlotte and Cindy could go wherever they wanted.
Engelite smiled. "Of course."
"Why don't you drive us to the supermarket? You're coming anyway, and we're too lazy to drive."
Engelite didn't object. It would be uncomfortable to follow behind their car, so he might as well drive them there.
After they got in the car, Engelite drove to the supermarket.
"What are you going to buy at the supermarket?" Engelite asked.
The two of them stopped talking and just sat in the back seat, looking out the window.
They must be in a bad mood.
Engelite knew that they must be in a bad mood after being watched for so many days.
Engelite started to drive seriously, but after driving for a while, he found a problem.
Their bodies seemed a little strange. Engelite adjusted the rearview mirror.
"What's going on? Miss Charlotte … Miss Cindy … "
Engelite suddenly stopped the car. "Miss Charlotte?"
Engelite reached out to press Charlotte's body. Suddenly, like a deflated balloon, Charlotte's body shriveled, while Cindy remained in her original position.
Something had indeed gone wrong!
Engelite was very unfamiliar with this spell, but he was sure that it was some kind of spell.
Engelite touched Cindy again, and indeed, Cindy shriveled up too.
His face ashen, Engelite picked up the phone. "Hello, President … I think I lost Charlotte and Cindy."
…
Charlotte and Cindy successfully escaped Los Angeles. This time, they didn't take a plane, a car, or a train.
Instead, they rented a boat and went to sea directly.
They had already bought tickets for the cruise. A cruise ship had been docked at the port of Los Angeles for three days and would leave tonight.
Of course, before that, they had prepared many travel plans, including cars, trains, and planes.
They hadn't decided on how to leave Los Angeles. Instead, they just decided to take the cruise.
Because only if they weren't sure themselves would their movements not be divined.
That was also the shortcoming of divination. It couldn't accurately grasp the uncertain future.
When the cruise left Los Angeles, they could clearly feel that the mental pressure had suddenly decreased a lot.
The cruise's next stop was San Francisco, where it would dock for two days before heading to Teresco.
Then, it would turn to Hawaii and sail to Southeast Asia.
That was also Charlotte and Cindy's destination.
Compared to the West, the supernatural forces in the East were stronger.
For example, the Source of the Fallen could do whatever it wanted in the West, but it might not dare to cross the ocean to the East to cause trouble.
Of course, going to the East didn't mean that it was absolutely safe.
Even if they went to the East, some Eastern forces would investigate their background and goal.
The sea breeze was a bit strong. Only Charlotte and Cindy were on the spacious deck.
Looking at the vast sea, the two were somewhat disappointed.
"Charlotte, what should we do after we go to the East?"
"I've already contacted a force on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I'm going there to be a magic instructor and teach Western magic," Charlotte said.
"Will we never be able to come back?"
"We betrayed the Source of the Fallen and then we betrayed Chen. Now, we're completely cornered. No matter who wins, we're destined to be hated by them. No matter who it is, we won't be able to fight back unless we become stronger."
Just then, a woman suddenly ran over from the deck, followed by another woman.
