Facing Fiona Elena's mockery, the burly man named Ricky immediately retorted, "Those are my lines, aren't they? I don't want you saying them like that. Even if it's not exactly the same, we're more or less the same."

Upon hearing this, Fiona Elena's face lit up with excitement. "Oh... Can I take that as you throwing caution to the wind?"

"Suit yourself."

"By the way, what should we do with these people? We can't just leave them lying here forever. They're in the way and taking up space. I barely have anywhere to stand."

Annoyed by Fiona Elena's complaints, Ricky, the man, replied impatiently, "Since there's no place to stand, can't you clean up the mess yourself? The ocean is right below, wouldn't it be easier to just throw them in? That way, we don't have to worry about anyone finding them. Besides, as the saying goes, 'water is the source of life.' At least they will have a resting place."

"Are you purposely being difficult? Are you suggesting that I do it alone?"

"At least it's not my turn to do it. Can't you see I'm busy?"

Ricky, the burly man, raised his voice at this point.

Upon hearing this, Fiona Elena's facial muscles twitched unnaturally.

"Are you showing off? You office worker."

Ricky's tone became even more arrogant.

"So what if I am? It's still better than being an unemployed drifter like you."

"Tsk, you're really arrogant. Just because you have a job."

"Hmph, if you're not happy, then go find a job for yourself. A person who can't even be bothered to do simple cleaning work doesn't have the right to criticize me."

"Uh..."

Fiona Elena, who was struck where it hurt, fell silent.

Reluctantly, she began the cleaning work. Because she was unwilling to be called an unemployed drifter, Fiona Elena quickly threw the five men overboard and finished the cleaning work.

Then she shifted her gaze back to the driver's seat.

"By the way, how are things going over there?"

"Oh..."

Upon Fiona Elena's inquiry, Ricky, the burly man, made a surprised sound.

Seeing his reaction, Fiona Elena half-opened her eyes and commented sarcastically, "What kind of reaction is that?"

"Nothing, I just thought that after you finished your work, you would definitely come and boast to me."

"...Although your statement is irritating, let's talk about it later. This matter is more important for now..."

Fiona Elena held back the urge to punch someone as her facial muscles twitched continuously.

"Well, I strongly agree with that too."

"In that case, as I asked just now, how are things going over there?"

Fiona Elena repeated the rather vague question again.

However, Ricky, the burly man, quickly understood and calmly replied, "Don't worry, everything is going smoothly over there."

"Is that so? That's great, after all, it's been our goal ever since then."

Upon hearing this, Ricky, the burly man, became serious.

"I remember that's why our organization was established. And... even though we come from different places, it's because of this that we've come together. After all, we have the same aspirations."

Fieus Alina couldn't help but tighten her gaze. After a moment of silence, she calmly spoke about her determination in a plain tone.

"Ah, yes, everything is for that person."
