In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Even a bottle of the most basic Lauder perfume can be sold at a high price of hundreds of thousands of world points in the modern world.

Although she has not yet touched upon the family's core industry, Euphemia can still imagine how much profit is contained therein.

No wonder parents and other family elders would require themselves and other young family members to train and control their instincts in an almost pathological way.

In the end, the "instinct" that the Lauder family shows to the outside world is their true rationality.

But the ultimate purpose of all this is so simple - to protect the interests of the family.

But, for the sake of so-called interests, is it really necessary to put the free will and youth of all family members on the other side of the scale of justice?

Euphemia, who was only nineteen years old, couldn't understand. How could she let go of her painful past when it was still vivid in her mind?

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Mo Chen waited patiently, Chaolu seemed to be lost in thought, and Rosemary still stood quietly by the side, like a statue.

"Wait, if this is the so-called family honor, then..."

Suddenly, Euphemia remembered a certain existence.

Or rather, she thought of someone, someone she had never met but who was always on her parents' lips.

The eldest daughter of the Lauder family, Euphemia's elder sister, and the sinner who tarnished the family's honor in her parents' eyes.

Euphemia now understands the essence of the glory of the Lauder family.

And in the eyes of my parents, the elder sister who was regarded as the sinner of the family probably had a disagreement with the family over this matter.

The final result was that my sister left the family and has not been heard from since, and the family chose to cut off all ties with her.

If I could find my sister, maybe I could learn from her what path I should take in the future.

Thinking of this, Euphemia's green eyes regained their luster.

"Also, Yuffie, there's something else I need to tell you."

Mo Chen suddenly spoke, interrupting Euphemia's thoughts:

“The chaos caused by your loss of control this time resulted in the injuries of several garrison members and plant spirit warriors, and also caused damage to the environment and order of the manor.

However, considering that your loss of control was due to special reasons, the punishment will be lighter.

In order to compensate for the loss of the estate, if there is no objection, it may be necessary to deduct part of your salary and bonus."

Euphemia blinked, then nodded vigorously:

"Your punishment on me is fair, owner.

Judging from the results, the out-of-control concubine did cause losses to the manor.

However, I am still very grateful to you for not holding me too responsible.

Please feel free to deduct the compensation for the loss of the manor from my salary and bonus. If it is not enough, I can use my other assets to make up for it.

Finally, please express my apologies to the garrison members and comrades I have harmed."

Euphemia's attitude was dignified and her tone was sincere, allowing Mo Chen to better carry out and conduct the aftermath work.

“I am also responsible for this matter. After all, I was the one who provided you with the suppressor, Yufei, and I didn’t notice your loss of control at the first time.

Then, as an apology, please charge the cost of renovating the house to my account."

Mo Chen scratched his head and mentioned a very strange fact.

"Wait, what did the owner just say? I seem to have heard the words 'renovation costs of the house'?

Can you tell me what happened in my house?"

Euphemia was slightly stunned, and then she had a terrible guess.

"Well, this is probably what you think, Yuffie."

Under Euphemia's tireless questioning, Mo Chen finally told her the cruel fact - Euphemia's house had been turned into a mess by her own hands as she had lost control.

Morning Dew and Rosemary, standing by, could see very clearly that Euphemia's eyes had lost their luster.

······

Out of caution, Mo Chen temporarily took back Euphemia's suppressor.

He felt a headache when he thought that there would be a plant spirit warrior in the first-level manor who needed a suppressor.

As we all know, War Zone No. 59 is full of talented people, and this is especially true for Mo Chen's Manor No. 5905.

In this war manor, every plant spirit warrior is so unique.

After all, Mo Chen himself is not an ordinary person at all.

As the owner of the war manor appointed by Crazy Dave himself, how could the plant spirit warriors who could gather around Mo Chen under the invisible guidance of fate be ordinary people?

When thinking of those plant spirit warriors whom he had yet to meet, Mo Chen could already imagine how "colorful" his future life would be.

······

At the edge of War Zone 59, at an outpost guarded by the Imperial Army.

This outpost controls the only way to Abandoned City No. 59 and is manned by five imperial soldiers.

For a long time, perhaps because it was too remote, this outpost had never been attacked by the Federation.

Over time, the imperial troops stationed here also relaxed their vigilance.

Two imperial soldiers who were standing guard also abandoned their duties and began chatting.

"Hey, have you heard? War Zone 59 is not peaceful these days."

"Of course I heard about it. It is said that several war estates in the Federation, which are run by elite owners, attacked the fortress's multiple bases in the war zone."

"Yes, the commander-in-chief was quite angry about this, and even called several commanders who were away back to the fortress for questioning not long ago."

"Hey, I really want to return to the fortress to rest. I'm going to get sick from staying in this remote place all the time."

"According to the cousin of the brother of my friend in the fortress, the commander-in-chief has readjusted the deployment of the army group."

"how do I say this?"

"It is said that several imperial commanders were dispatched this time, bringing their army groups to join the attack on the war manor."

"What armies are there?"

"It seems that the All-Star Column, the Diving Assault Team, the Snowmobile Assault Team, the Escalator Assault Team..."

"With so many elite troops, it looks like the commander-in-chief is going to give the Federation a hard blow."

"If you ask me, the sooner the battle is over, the sooner I can go home. I don't want to stay at this outpost on the edge of the war zone until I retire."

While the two imperial soldiers were discussing happily, one of them noticed a figure in the distance slowly walking towards the checkpoint.

"Wait, someone is coming!"

The two imperial soldiers immediately became alert and raised their automatic assault rifles to aim at the intruders.

"Who?"

What appeared in front of the two imperial soldiers was a cute girl with green twin ponytails.

She is petite, wearing a cloak, and has a sweet smile that looks harmless to both humans and animals.

"Excuse me, is this an outpost affiliated with the Empire?"

"Who are you? Why are you here?!"

An imperial soldier asked coldly, signaling another imperial soldier to keep a close eye on the other person.

"It seems that we are right. This is the checkpoint."

The girl did not respond to the imperial soldier's question, but nodded contentedly.

The imperial soldier who asked the question frowned slightly, and was about to speak to drive the other party away, but he only heard a whoosh sound.

Before the imperial soldier could react, a thick vine wrapped around his body.

The same happened to his comrade beside him, who was captured by another thick vine.

The green-haired girl muttering to herself walked up to them, and a huge, extremely wild and bloody mouth appeared out of thin air from behind her, swallowing the two unfortunate imperial soldiers in one gulp.

"Sister Kelsey, the other three have been dealt with as well."

A young man also wearing a cloak walked out from the other end of the checkpoint. He moved his arms and re-tightened the bandage on his fist.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while and wait for other companions."

The Aomori Ranger named Kelses turned around and then put her hands on her hips in a very proud manner.

"This is our first operation in War Zone 59. Xiao Ye, please don't let me lose face in front of the other rangers."

"Yes, Sister Kelsie."

The Aomori Ranger, who was called Little Leaf, smiled helplessly. He naturally knew what kind of personality his elder sister had.

After all, she is the giant-mouthed flower plant spirit nicknamed "the ferocious beast", the outlier from the Lan Dai family.
