The most unpredictable thing in the United World was the direction of the plot. This point, Aiden simply couldn't guess what would happen next.
Just like in Raccoon City, he simply didn't know, nor did he want to guess, what would happen after reviving S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team captain Enrico.
Although later, the plot didn't deviate too much from the original.
However, to be fair, Aiden was someone who could see things openly. After a brief silence, he became lively again.
"When does Balalaika have time? I want to talk with her."
"In the afternoon," Dutch said. "In the afternoon, there will also be people from the Triad, those guys from TW, Boss Chang and that woman named Shenhua."
"Mm, you probably don't know them, but you're all Easterners, so you should have some common language, especially Boss Chang. He's basically half a racist. He'll definitely help you."
"Is that so? Good." Aiden nodded. "No matter who they are, in any case, the more people, the more strength. I just hope they won't regret it in the end."
"You don't need to worry about that," Dutch said. "As long as the rule of Roanapur can be maintained, any price they pay is worth it…"
"Even… life…"

The entire morning passed in conversation. Time quickly reached noon.
Rock very consciously got up, preparing to go out to buy today's lunch, but was stopped by Aiden.
"Buy some ingredients, not just bread and stuff. I'm tired of eating that already," Aiden said.
"Buy some ingredients for Chinese cuisine, I'll cook. Consider it a thanks for your help."
Rock was stunned for a moment. He looked at Dutch and Revy and Benny, who had just woken up.
"Just do as Aiden says," Dutch said.
"Remember to buy everything needed, don't let Aiden's effort go to waste. I really want to taste Chinese food." Revy added.
Rock could only nod and leave the office.
An hour after Rock went out, he returned.
Aiden took the ingredients and entered the office's kitchen. Although Roberta really wanted to help, she was still driven out by Aiden.
"Don't make a mess!" Aiden shouted at Roberta, "Just take care of your young master."
Roberta of course felt upset hearing that, but she didn't have anything to say. Especially after seeing the distrustful look from her own young master, she once again fell into silence and self-doubt.
She even had the thought, should she learn from Aiden…
———
On the other side, inside a house not far from the Black Lagoon Company office.
"I told you last time, you're just too lazy, not that you don't know how to cook." Ada mumbled discontentedly while looking through a high-magnification scope.
"You haven't cooked for me yourself yet."
In fact, ever since Aiden appeared in Roanapur, Ada received the task of monitoring him.
Of course, if it were anyone else, they would definitely find it boring and dull. But for Ada, this was actually enjoyable.
After she returned to H.C.F.'s Europe division, she had been wanting to get assigned to Asia. But after searching through all the people she knew, she still couldn't find Aiden in Asia.
However, she didn't give up and kept looking, until last month, when she returned from Antarctica and received an order from half-boss Wesker to go to Roanapur to monitor a person.
At first, Ada was a bit reluctant, but after hearing it was Aiden, she immediately changed her attitude and agreed to go to Roanapur.
However, things afterward weren't perfect.
Because the ones who entered Roanapur with her were the Wolf Pack team that joined H.C.F. after the Raccoon City incident, including the newly promoted scout… Ninja…
And… Wesker himself.

Somewhere else again.
"Boss, those people are still following us."
In the central area of Roanapur, an Umbrella soldier reported to the woman in front of him.
"Ignore them." The woman said indifferently.
"They're just a bunch of rats worried about their turf being invaded. As long as we don't stir up trouble, they won't make a move."
"But Boss, the reason we came this time is to stir up trouble." The soldier said.
"That makes it even more irrelevant." The woman raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly. "Why care about their opinions? After we finish our business, we'll leave this place.
Even if they get angry, would they give up everything and fight us to the death?"
The soldier was stunned and said nothing. After all, it was his first time talking directly with the top figure of the company, the head of the Ashford family…

Rip Off Church…
Yolanda sat honestly on the sofa, looking at the young man in front of her. Even though her age was enough to be the young man's grandmother, she didn't dare say anything now.
After a while, the young man spoke, "I heard that you made a deal with our target?"
The young man took a sip of black tea and looked at her as he spoke.
Yolanda broke out in cold sweat. The young man's aura completely suppressed her. After a long while, she finally said, "I didn't know at the time that he was the one you were looking for."
"Is that so?" The young man let out a cold laugh. But he didn't scold her like a typical superior would. Because he knew very well. Whether it's the CIA or NSA, as long as they were overseas, they more or less did some side jobs.
After all, no ideal could match the practicality of money. This was very common in their organization.
"Can you tell me, where did the weapons you gave him come from?" The young man continued to ask.
"It's…"
Yolanda glanced at the nun Ada behind her, then said, "Space Arms Group. They offered a very low price."
"Tch, so it was them." The young man's expression stayed perfectly normal, giving no sign that their country and this so-called Space Arms Group were enemies.
"I won't give you trouble over this. After all, I know overseas operations are always short on funds." The young man put down his teacup and said.
"Thank you." Yolanda let out a breath of relief. Even though she was an experienced agent and strong, she was still no match for a national-level violent organization.
"Don't thank me just yet." The young man raised a finger and lightly waved it.
"Even though I've forgiven some things you've done, you still have to make some compensation." The young man said. "Go, go and monitor that man called Aiden. Because very soon, something very interesting will happen around him."
