Chapter 26: Su Lie's Dilemma, The Shrewd Tōka

Carl noticed that Skye had woken up.

So, he left the chat group.

Carl smiled, "Awake?"

"Yeah..." Skye nodded, "I'm a bit hungry. Shall we go eat?"

"Sure."

After freshening up, the two went out.

After dinner, instead of going home, they went to the seaside for a bit of fun.

While Carl was having dinner, he had a feeling and entered the chat group. (T/N: not a mistake)

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Carl, thanks a lot again for this time. @God Among Men

Blade King: Huh?

Blade King: General Su Lie, why are you thanking Big shot Carl again?

Blade King: Didn't you thank him before?

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Confused.jpg

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Before, it was thanks for the matter with the demonic species. Now it's for a comrade.

Blade King: Oh, I see.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Eating Melon.jpg (T/N: To consume gossip)

Blade King: So, did Big shot Carl also save your comrade?

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Indeed.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Carl not only exterminated the demon species surrounding Guan city, but also saved my comrade.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Although the process was complicated, that's roughly what happened.

Blade King: I see.

Carl just entered the chat group and saw the exchange between Su Lie and others.

He had a guess immediately.

It was probably about Li Xin returning to the Great Wall Guard.

So, Su Lie thanked him again.

The tone of the conversation had changed a lot.

However, Carl didn't think much of it.

He did what he did because he wanted to, regardless of others opinion.

God Among Men: General Su, no need to be polite.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: No politeness here, I'm genuinely thankful to you.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Although I know, Carl, you're immensely powerful, so these words might not mean much to you, coming from an ordinary person like me.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: But I still want to say, Thank you.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Carl, you saved the Guan City, the people of Jade City, and helped Li Xin.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: This great kindness, I, Su Lie, will never forget this forever.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Carl if you need anything in the future.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: I, Su Lie, will certainly spare all my effort to help you.

Blade King: Shocked.jpg

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Watching.jpg

God Among Men: Alright, General Su Lie, I'll accept your kindness.

No harm in taking help from a friend.

Although Carl felt that he wouldn't need Su Lie's help, the way Su Lie expressed it, he couldn't just say no.

Seeing Carl's response, Su Lie seemed much happier.

He even chatted with the members for a while in the chat group.

Suddenly, Keisha seemed to remember something and curiously asked.

Blade King: General Su Lie, I have something I want to ask you.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Feel free to ask, I'll tell you everything I know.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Do you want to ask about Carl's power?

Blade King: Not exactly, although I'm curious about Carl's power.

Blade King: But what I want to ask now is, General Su Lie, have you finished your official duties?

Blade King: You seemed busy a few hours ago.

Blade King: Now, it seems like you have all the free time in the world, even, chatting in the group.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Right.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Is everything done?

...

The chat group fell silent for a while.

Several tens of seconds passed.

At first, Tōka and Keisha waited for Su Lie's response.

But when they found out that there was no response for a long time, they started to suspect.

Is the chat group lagging?

Keisha couldn't help but speak.

Blade King: General Su Lie?

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Uh...

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Those official duties are indeed finished.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: But now, I have something else to do.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: I'll leave for a while. You guys can continue chatting without me.

Commander of the Great Wall Defense Army: Carl, thanks a lot.

In fact, Su Lie had thanked twice.

During this time, his attitude changed dramatically, having time to chat.

It wasn't because of official duties but because of Li Xin's matter.

He had some grievances against Carl for killing Li Xin.

After all, they fought together as comrades.

Even if there were any faults, they should have been imprisoned or dealt with the law.

Even if the charges were serious, imprisonment might not have meant death.

But Carl killed him.

Now, he realized he might have misunderstood Carl.

Naturally, he felt a bit guilty.

Carl is indeed a good person!

Su Lie wasn't the type of character that would lie.

There was some embarrassment, so he ran straight away.

God Among Men: You're welcome.

Blade King: ??

Blade King: Why does General Su Lie seem strange? Did something happen there?

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: I also feel there's something unusual in the atmosphere.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: What could it be?

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Carl, do you know what's going on with General Su Lie?

God Among Men: I don't know. He said he had something to attend to.

Carl probably knew what had caused Su Lie's change.

However, there was no need to talk about such matters.

God Among Men: I've got to leave.

Blade King: Okay, goodbye Big shot.

God Among Men: Goodbye.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Carl also left.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: My intuition tells me that something we don't know happened on Su Lie's side.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: And Carl probably knows.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: They both seem suspicious.

Blade King: Wow! Tōka, you make so much sense.

What to Do if My Sister is a Chuunibyou: Hahaha.

...

At this point, Carl hadn't left the chat group yet.

Seeing the messages in the chat group, he felt a bit strange.

With a smile, he left the chat group.

...

At that moment, Carl was having dinner with Skye at the restaurant.

Seeing Carl's smile, Skye, who was eating, looked curious.

"What's making you so happy?"

"Well... Stark Industries stocks went up, by a lot."

Carl took a sip of wine and said casually.

"Oh, that's indeed good news."

Skye nodded in agreement.

"I didn't expect Stark Industries' stocks to have room for growth."

"Of course, it's because Stark Industries has close cooperation with the authorities."

"And it's also a long-standing company."

"Okay."

Skye didn't understand much about these things.

But she had heard of Stark Industries.

Probably, there weren't many people in the entire country who didn't know about it.
