Chapter 206 Claire's Toughness
Boom boom boom!
The rumbling sound continued to spread from the center of the no-man's land to all directions.

"Claire, are we really not going to take action? Sid has been fighting with the snake for a whole day." Tornado asked Claire.

"Tornado, when Sid really needs help, he will ask for help. And as long as he doesn't ask for help, all we need to do is not make trouble." Claire said slowly as she looked at the images taken in the no-man's land.

"Are you so confident?" Tornado asked with a frown.

"Believe him, Sid is not as fragile as you think. Victory in this battle will definitely belong to Sid. Or do you just don't trust your man?" Claire turned her head and looked at Tornado and said.

"Of course not, but forget it, since you said so, I'll just wait." Tornado seemed to want to say something, but after frowning, he gave up saying it.

In fact, since becoming Reed's woman, she has always been able to feel the alienation between Claire and the other women towards her and Fubuki.

Although there is no rejection, the alienation is obvious.

As for why there was such a feeling of alienation, Tornado initially thought that Claire and the other girls were dissatisfied with her and Fubuki interfering in their lives.

But after finally getting in touch with it, Tornado found that this was not the case.

Claire and the other girls did not show any strong rejection. If they really wanted to reject them, they would not be willing to sleep with Li Deda in the same bed with them.

In fact, Claire was very generous in accepting her and Fubuki on that matter.

But how to put it, they just feel like they can't integrate into the big family. Both Tornado and Fubuki can feel the obvious gap.

The feeling of difference between insiders and outsiders made Tornado and Fubuki very uncomfortable.

"Claire!" At this time, a voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Alpha, what's wrong?" Claire didn't even turn back. After all, just by the voice and the way she was addressed, Claire knew who was coming.

"Everything has been handled. The captured monsters have been imprisoned, and the bodies of the dead monsters have been collected. Ita and Miyano Shiho have completed the collection work." Alpha walked up to Claire and said.

"Very good, now we just have to wait for Sid to defeat Orochi." After hearing this, Claire's face showed a hint of obvious satisfaction. After all, this crusade against the Monster Association was actually divided into two parts.

The first part is to destroy the Monster Association, and the second part is to collect valuable monster blood.

Although both goals have not been fully achieved so far, there is only one last step left, which is to kill the snake and get its genes.

"Yeah, we just need to wait for him to defeat the big snake." Hearing this, Alpha couldn't help but look towards the central area of ​​the no-man's land where deafening noises were still being emitted.

As for why the women did not get close to the central area, there were two reasons. The first was that Li De did not want the big snake to involve the people who were watching the battle, as that would dilute Li De's great cause.

As for the second, it is that the central area is not very suitable for approaching at present.

why?

The reason is simple, because the terrain in the central area has changed greatly compared to a day ago.

Not to mention the large-scale depressions, the topography of many areas was also changed by the high temperature emitted when Li De fought the giant snake.

At this moment, the central area of ​​the no-man's land has completely turned into a lava zone, with flowing magma everywhere.

In such a high temperature zone, not only is it difficult to approach on the ground, even in the sky, drones watching the battle dare not get too close.

The war between the Hero Association and the Monster Association has touched the hearts of the entire population since the live broadcast began, especially the people in City Z.

It wasn't until the live broadcast began that they discovered there were so many brutal weirdos lurking beneath the ground where they lived.

It is precisely because of this that these people are particularly concerned about the outcome of this war.

As time passed, after Wolf-level monsters, Tiger-level monsters, Demon-level monsters and even Dragon-level monsters were defeated one after another, the wave of support from the Hero Association became louder and louder.

As more and more reports were published on the association, more people who were previously unaware of the situation began to pay attention to this war.

Especially the final battle, that is, Li De VS Orochi, the attention it received was unprecedented.

Of course, no matter how desperate the reporters are, they would not dare to get close to the battlefield between Li De and Orochi, but there is no shortage of people with ideas in the media.

Since live broadcasting is too dangerous, use drones to shoot and then provide commentary nearby.

This is also the reason why there are so many drones in the air around the battlefield.

"Lady Claire!" another voice sounded behind the women.

"Xici, what's the matter?" Claire turned and looked at Xichi and asked.

"Lord Claire, more and more people are gathering outside the no-man's land." Xiqi said.

"Is there something wrong?" Claire looked at Xiqi and asked.

"Most of the reservists who got the news have arrived. Many of them are very dissatisfied with the association for not notifying them. Things are getting more and more serious." Xiqi said cautiously to Claire.

After all, Claire and Reed have different ways of doing things, and her domineering nature is obvious.

"What right do they have to be dissatisfied? If they are dissatisfied, then they should just work hard to defeat the monsters. Since they are not official heroes, it is normal for the association not to call on them when there is something important.

After all, the heroes who have achieved the level have proven themselves, but they have not yet. I don't know where they got the courage to challenge the association. Xiqi, take Sonic and tell them that if they have any more complaints, they will be expelled from the reserve.

This war is already won, and the association's influence will be further expanded. There are many people who want to become professional heroes, and without those gossipers, the current chaotic environment of the reserve force will be much more refreshing."

After hearing what Claire said, Xiqi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It’s not that Claire said anything she shouldn’t have said, but mainly because the person Claire asked him to bring was not the right one.

Xiqi knew very well that Sonic had a bad temper and didn't care about human life.

If he wasn't an S-class hero, he would have probably become an S-class wanted criminal by now.

"Lady Claire, I'll go right away, but can I choose someone to come out and deter them? I'm afraid Sonic won't be able to handle it properly, and it will also add unnecessary burden to the angels." Xiqi looked at Claire and said, "Take Sonic with you, and tell Xiaolan and Qingzi that I want them to go with you as well." Claire said immediately.

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Xiqi knew that Claire was going to take ruthless measures to warn the reserve members.

Otherwise, there would be no need to bring Ran Mouri and Aoko Nakamori along. After all, there is only one purpose for bringing them along, and that is to help Sonic clean up the bloody incident that is about to happen.

"Claire, with so many people paying attention to this, shouldn't we use a slightly more gentle approach?" Fubuki couldn't help but ask.

"There's no need. Those useless idiots are acting so unscrupulously because they think the association won't dare to use tough measures at this moment. So I want to tell them that the association will never give in to a group of useless reservists at any time." Claire snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Fubuki couldn't help but frown, and so did Tornado beside her.

Because they once again felt the distance between Claire's words.

That's right, it's distant, just like treating an outsider.

"Fubuki, come for a walk with me. Sid's battle probably won't be over for a while. My eyes are sore from staring at the screen." Tornado suddenly said.

"Yes, sister!" Although Fubuki didn't know what her sister Tornado wanted to do, she didn't want to stay here at the moment.

After Tornado and Fubuki left, Alpha said, "Claire, is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that? If you don't sign the contract, you're an outsider. Even I'm no exception, so why should they be an exception? If they don't sign the contract, it just means that their feelings for Sid are over.

We, the Kageno family, don't need a woman who can't devote everything to Sid. Or do you think it's a bit naive to support Sid?" Claire looked at Alpha and asked.

"Of course not, it's just..." Alpha was interrupted by Claire just when he said this.

"It's OK if it's not like that. If it weren't for the incident with Alexia, when I promised Sid that I would no longer act on my own, I would have confronted the sisters long ago." Claire said firmly.

"Claire, you know that's not what I meant. I'm worried that if we don't take the initiative to speak up, the sisters won't be able to find a clue." Alpha shook his head and explained.

"Don't worry, Tornado and Blizzard are not stupid. They know who can answer their questions." Claire was confident about this.

"The person who can answer their questions is Kalina, whom Sid brought from that world full of pirates." After hearing what Carlisle said, Alpha immediately thought of Kalina.

After all, she had never gotten along with Kalina, so she wasn't too sure whether Kalina knew some of the inside story.

"It's Lina, what a pity." Claire said this and didn't continue.

But Alpha knew what Claire was regretting.

Because Kalina's original choice was to stay in this world and never leave.

Li De was quite good at judging people. Kalina was indeed unable to withstand the convenience and peace of the modern technological world.

Reed didn't have much regret that Karina didn't want to follow Reed to the shadow world with a background similar to the pirate world.

After all, Li De has always been well aware of Kalina's yearning for freedom.

So Reed knew very well that Kalina would never sign a slave contract. Therefore, Reed's positioning of Kalina has always been very clear, that she is simply a normal female friend of Claire and the others.

Perhaps Claire and the other girls really wanted Kalina to become real sisters, but they did not force it. After all, they knew Kalina's character too well.

In fact, the reason why Reed brought Kalina from the Pirate World to the One Punch Man World was not because Reed coveted Kalina's body and didn't want to give up Kalina, but because Claire couldn't let go of this happy person who was like a sister.

I have to say that Kalina is really capable. She established a deep friendship with Claire and the other girls in the pirate world in a short period of time. Otherwise, Claire would not have mentioned this little sister to Reed.

Kalina also knew this, so she told Li Deming that she wanted to stay and would not become Li De's woman.

As for whether Reed would stop taking care of her because of this, she was not worried. As long as Claire and the others were still there, Kalina would not worry about not getting protection.

She even managed to get a spot among the first batch of genetically modified personnel with the help of Claire.

After all, she is not one of them, so Claire cannot fight for the opportunity of genetic modification for Karina after the war with the Monster Association. After all, this is a benefit that only her own people can enjoy.

Even Tornado and Fubuki, who are considered Li De's women but have no contract partners, will not be able to get this opportunity for transformation, let alone Kalina.

In fact, Li De himself had no intention of being stingy with Tornado and Blizzard.

After all, even if the two of them were unwilling to follow Li De and leave the One Punch World in the end, they were once Li De's women.

It’s a pity that Claire firmly disagrees.

It is important to clearly distinguish between outsiders and our own people. This is the advice that Claire and all the contractors jointly gave to Reed.

On the other side, after Tornado and Blizzard came out, Tornado immediately pulled Blizzard away from the uninhabited area of ​​City Z.

"Sister, where are we going?" Fubuki asked her sister Tornado in confusion.

"Go to J City to find Kalina!" Just as Claire expected, Tornado planned to find Kalina who could answer her questions.

"Kalina, why are you looking for that pretentious woman?" Fubuki asked a little confused. After all, she didn't like women with high levels of tea art at all, just like she didn't like Beta.

"She has a very good relationship with Claire and the others, and they should be from the same place, so apart from Claire and the others, she is the only one who can answer the doubts in my mind." Tornado certainly knew where the breakthrough was.

Even Tornado had a vague feeling that after this war between the Hero Association and the Monster Association, something very important to her would definitely happen, so she felt that she could not wait for Li De to answer her doubts.

With a fast flight, Tornado and Fubuki soon arrived in J City and found the agency where Kalina worked.

Kalina happened to be in the company, so Tornado and Fubuki met Kalina smoothly.

"Is there something that has happened to you two sisters that you suddenly came to see me?" Kalina asked Tornado and Blizzard with a bit of surprise. After all, although she would usually go to play with Claire and others, her relationship with Tornado and Blizzard sisters was far not as good as that with Claire and the others.

"Kalina, I have a question for you!" Tornado asked with a serious expression.
