After leaving Karlan Commercial, Amiya patted Kanna's shoulder.
"Where else can we get investment from?"
Kanna led the group, and they soon arrived at a place. Everyone saw that it was none other than Kanna's teacher Grace's office. Amiya showed a look of realization. Operator Breeze's family was in the perfume business, very famous in Victoria. Given her affection for Kanna, she would certainly not refuse Kanna's request.
Indeed, after hearing their purpose, Breeze readily agreed to Kanna's request. Then the group set off in high spirits again for the Medical Department.
"There are many rich cat girls at Rhodes Island. Next, we'll go to Blacksteel Worldwide. Let's hope that person hasn't left yet!"
Upon arriving, Kanna spotted her target from afar. Jessica was counting on her fingers, making sure she had packed everything, because according to Blacksteel Worldwide's message, she needed to return to Columbia for a debriefing, and her departure time was tomorrow.
Just then, a small head appeared in front of her, startling her. Upon seeing that it was Kanna, she smiled. "Oh, it's Kanna! I was downstairs when you returned. So many people came to pick you up. I wonder when I'll be as popular as you..."
Kanna stood on her tiptoes and patted Jessica's shoulder. "Jessica is great. Just be yourself; there's no need to imitate others."
Jessica nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Kanna. Uh, so many people? Are you here for Senior Franka or Senior Liskarm?"
Looking up, Jessica only then noticed the large group behind Kanna, and her face flushed slightly.
"No, we're here for you."
Kanna reached out and held Jessica, who was about to go inside to inform the others.
Then she explained about making a movie. Jessica nodded after hearing it. "No problem, but I have to return to the company for a debriefing tomorrow, so I probably can't attend the meeting. Take this card; there's some pocket money in it. If it's not enough then, just let me know, and I'll transfer more to you."
Jessica fumbled in her bag for a while and pulled out a black card with gold trim, handing it to Kanna.
"Alright, I'll let you know when the movie is released! I won't bother you anymore, bye-bye!" Kanna took the card, thanked her, and then led the others away.
On the way, Amiya was somewhat curious why Kanna was so happy when someone else just gave her a card, and it was only pocket money.
"Aren't we looking for investment? Jessica's just a little pocket money wouldn't be enough!"
Kanna glanced at her, indicating that a rabbit cooped up at home would never know how incredibly wealthy the rich cat girls outside were.
She handed the card in her hand to Amiya. "I'll give you a chance to see how much 'pocket money' is inside!"
Amiya swiped it on her personal terminal, and seeing the string of numbers on the card, her pupils dilated in shock.
"This... this is pocket money?"
Amiya was a bit stunned. Had she been at Rhodes Island for too long and lost touch with the world? Or was money in Columbia just picked up from the streets? Or had Columbia experienced a financial crisis, and money was no longer worth anything?
Popukar, who was accompanying them, leaned over and counted on her fingers,
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... Wow, such a long number!"
"Excluding the two decimal places, this card also has a seven-figure deposit," Kanna corrected her.
Amiya nervously clutched the card to her chest. Rhodes Island wasn't without money, but a seven-figure amount of "liquid funds" would take even Rhodes Island one or two months to earn back, and this was merely Operator Jessica's "pocket money."
She couldn't even imagine what kind of family the other party came from. Was it the kind of super-rich family from stories where the bed was as big as a football field, and servants and gatekeepers dating each other counted as a long-distance relationship?
Just when Amiya thought they were done, Kanna was still not satisfied. The group continued to the Greenhouse, where they happened to meet Perfumer. Kanna asked her about the whereabouts of a certain Swordmaster, and then found her at a training ground not far from the Greenhouse.
Melantha was quite surprised to see Kanna come looking for her, as Kanna was arguably the first person she had met after arriving at Rhodes Island.
After hearing that Kanna was looking for investment for her movie, she readily agreed and promised to attend the new film's meeting on time tomorrow.
At this point, Kanna's new film's investment solicitation officially and perfectly concluded, and she satisfactorily announced that today's tasks were fully completed.
When this news reached the Doctor, he was discussing the upcoming itinerary with Kaltsit. Kaltsit also saw the message from Amiya and asked, "You trust Kanna that much? You even personally took her to meet the one from Karlan Commercial."
The Doctor shrugged, "Kanna has a convincing power. Even though it seems strange to have a little girl direct a film, as long as people meet her, everyone will be drawn to her eyes, full of confidence and hope, and agree to her request, even if that request seems a bit ridiculous and absurd."
Kaltsit nodded, "But a good movie isn't something a director can complete just by picking up a camera. Is she aware of all the intricacies involved?"
"Do you remember the one who made a bet with her?"
"Of course. You mean..."
"I'm sure that when she hears this news, she will proactively contact Kanna and help her establish a complete production crew."
"Are you sure she won't try to trip her up?"
"I've read all the reports, from the one to Rhodes Island up to the most recent. Do you think Kanna would trust such a treacherous person?"
Hearing the Doctor's words, Kaltsit had to agree. Although the one seemed to be slacking off all the way, she always appeared in the most dangerous and most defensible parts of the team.
She truly embodied the Yan saying, "A good warrior leaves no glorious deeds."
As a meticulous person, and someone Kanna trusts, even if this time she is acting as an "opponent," she will certainly lend a hand to make the bet more interesting.
And the one indeed did not disappoint the two. After receiving the news, she proactively sought out Kanna and offered to help coordinate the establishment of the production crew.
"Don't thank me, okay? I just don't want to take advantage of you. After all, if the crew can't even be established, how can a good movie be made? I'm planning to defeat you head-on, and I wouldn't stoop to such petty tricks."
Before Kanna could speak, the one interrupted, hands on her hips, speaking proudly as she walked out of the room.
"...What's with this person... She came over, talked to herself about helping, and then left by herself..." Kanna was a bit bewildered by the one's sudden appearance and departure.
