The first thought that ca to Doris’s mind was to attack the Insect God! After all, she was completely restrained and couldn’t do anything.
Of course, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to say that in front of Xi Le.
Doris said, "If I were Freya, I wouldn’t bother allying with those idiots from the Universe Alliance. I’d subdue them all first, then expand my own strength!"
Once her strength had grown, she would then attack the Insect God, and afterward, she’d take on Landis.
Oh, ho, ho, she could then dominate the Universe!
Xi Le, however, was not very keen on listening to her blather, turned, and left. Doris huffed twice, then turned around and went back to her own place.
It was so lonely and quiet, not a single person in the whole place.
Even she herself didn’t qualify as a complete person anymore.
But today...
Doris squinted her eyes – soone had entered her ho!
She imdiately beca very cautious, took out her weapon, and then heard a familiar voice.
"Long ti no see, Doris."
Lucifer slowly erged from the shadows. He looked as if he were still in his thirties, charmingly sinister in appearance, but with a touch more world-weariness in his eyes.
Lucifer’s mouth curved into a smile, but it was a perfunctory one that didn’t reach his eyes.
Doris narrowed her eyes and slowly straightened up, "Oh, it’s you, long ti no see indeed. I thought you might have perished in so black hole sowhere."
Lucifer walked up to the bar and poured himself a glass of drink without invitation, swirling the glass and saying, "It’s normal for you to be out of the loop about , but to see you willingly working for the Insect God, that’s truly a sight to behold."
Doris’s tone was unfriendly, "Lucifer, what exactly are you here for? If you’re here to spout nonsense, I suggest you scram before I make my move!"
Lucifer: "Don’t be nervous, I’m here to ask you for a favor."
Doris was taken aback, she scoffed, "That’s new, you needing my help?"
Lucifer nodded, "Yes, you have Spatial Superpower. Have you ever heard of a situation where frequent ti-space travel causes a normal person’s soul to fragnt? In such a case, where could one find the missing parts of the person’s soul?"
After listening, Doris was silent for a few seconds, then burst into loud laughter, "So that’s why you’re here? Ha-ha-ha, Lucifer, your soul is fragnted? No, that can’t be right. A person like you, deep and scheming, with your spiritual power intact, it definitely isn’t you. But for you to seek my help, tsk tsk, this person with the missing soul must be very important to you, right?"
The smile at the corner of Lucifer’s mouth slowly faded, his eyes clouded with darkness, "Doris, I don’t need your babble, just tell if you’re willing to help or not?"
"If I help you, what will I get in return?"
"What do you want in return?"
What did Doris want?
From the day she woke up, she had only one thought.
And that was to dominate the Universe!
However, given the current circumstances, Doris thought for a mont and said, "I’ll help you, but you’ll need to help break free from the Insect God."
Lucifer’s brows slightly furrowed, "Over the years, I haven’t had direct conflicts with the Insect God. Since you have Spatial Superpower, escaping shouldn’t be difficult, right?"
Doris recalled her own attempts to rebel and even her plans to kill the Insect God, only to be weakened to nothing but a head, filled with fear.
She murmured, "No, you can’t imagine how powerful he is. Unless he is willing to let go, I will never be able to escape."
Lucifer frowned: "...Then why do you still want to help you? How can I help you?"
Doris snorted, "That’s your problem to figure out. Su Wan also has Spatial Superpower, if you don’t want to ask , you could always ask her."
Lucifer: "..."
Su Wan couldn’t avoid Gu Jue if she wanted to, let alone seek him out for help. He must have had his brain squeezed by a wormhole to even think of asking Su Wan for help.
After all, Su Wan was no fool, so why would she help him?
One could say, the difficulty of getting Su Wan’s help is less than one in ten thousand!
Lucifer took a deep breath, "Then I need to know, what’s the reason the Insect God won’t let you go free?"
Doris smiled seductively, "He can’t bear to part with ."
Lucifer, "Even a glance in the mirror would tell you that’s impossible. Cut to the chase; if you want to cooperate, and we benefit from each other, then spare these foolish words."
Doris huffed but beca serious as she said, "In the early days, he used my Spatial Superpower to facilitate the transfer of his race, but now that Insect Nest is abandoned, the Insect Clan has all moved here, so I’m no longer needed."
That was Doris’s most frustrating issue.
She had more than once tempted the Insect God, hoping he would aspire to dominate the Universe, in which case Doris was willing to continue serving under him, to be his right-hand.
But who would have thought, such a powerful Insect God turned out to be an ambitionless insect!
He had no wish to dominate the Universe; instead, he was extrely interested in the culture of Ancient Earth and even ford an alliance with Landis Star—where’s the temperant of a Universe Overlord in that!
Such a waste of his capabilities!
Similarly, it was also a waste of Doris’s capabilities!
Lucifer was baffled about what the Insect God really wanted Doris for. After thinking it over, he finally said, "Alright, I’ll try to get close to the Insect God, see what he really wants, and how we can get you to leave."
Doris, "Good luck."
Lucifer, "Where is the Insect God right now?"
Doris suddenly smiled, reveling in his misfortune, "He’s on Landis Star right now."
Lucifer, "..."
**
The population of Landis Star was growing too fast. Apart from the main city, which hadn’t changed, the outskirts were gradually divided into several districts.
And the number of branches of the Su Family restaurant was about to increase again.
Because there were so many skilled restaurants, they started to appoint regional managers to take charge.
Su Wan regularly held etings with these district managers, who would then oversee the restaurants within their areas.
As Su Wan looked at the various data on the screen, she glanced at the personnel appointnts sent by the regional managers. Suddenly, she saw several familiar nas, but she kept her composure. After the eting ended, she called over the district manager with the largest jurisdiction at the mont... Su Ni.
"Su Ni, the branch managers and so related managent staff you’ve reported this ti, why are they all... relatives from your second sister-in-law’s family?"
Su Ni was startled and said, "Not all of them are, and, and I’ve reviewed them all, they are competent."
Su Wan, "Does your second sister-in-law know about this?"
Cecilia had now retired behind the scenes to support her husband and nurture their children. Having worked so hard in her youth, it was about ti she enjoyed so good fortune.
After Su Ni retired from the entertainnt industry, he had been helping out at the family restaurant, and he had been very conscientious.
Because he wanted to spend ti with his wife, and his previous work in the entertainnt industry was indeed too taxing.
Over the years, Su Ni might make minor mistakes now and then, but for the most part, they were harmless, and Su Wan hadn’t pursued the matters.
At most, she’d just make a few points like she did now.
After hesitating for a mont, Su Ni finally said, "Your second sister-in-law doesn’t know about this, but after all, they are her family. Over the years, every ti she saw our big Su Family, so lively and bustling, she was actually quite envious. So I just..."
