Chapter 590: Confrontation with Tesla, about the Fatui, departure
Alas, because of the incessant coughing, I couldn’t sleep at all, so I had to get up and update.
After entering the office, Theresa found a comfortable chair for Tianhe and placed it next to her original seat. After doing all this, she returned to her seat and prepared to start the next question.
Due to her height, Theresa can only maintain her dignity as the principal by standing on a chair.
Theresa stared at Tesla. She coughed lightly and asked Tesla her doubts.
"So, Tesla, what do you want from me today? I have already approved the scientific funding you asked me for before. If you calculate the time, that funding will be enough for you to use for at least a period of time."
Tesla shook her head and explained to Theresa, "I'm not here to ask for funding. Not long ago, the International Brigade heard that I was short of funding, so they sent someone to negotiate with me. After confirming that I met one of their criteria, they directly transferred the money to my account."
Perhaps she noticed Tianhe's strange look, or perhaps because her words just now revealed some information, Tesla's face turned slightly red. She coughed twice and brought the topic back.
"Ahem, that's not the point. I came to you this time mainly to ask about the holidays. I want to relax."
Theresa looked a little confused. She didn't expect to hear the word "vacation" from such a workaholic. It sounded like she was joking with her.
Theresa didn't think that Tesla would joke with her about this matter. Don't forget that Tianhe was still present, and she would still consider her own face.
"Tesla, regarding the vacation, I remember I told you that you don't need to say hello to me. You can make your own arrangements. Just let me know when you come back safely."
"I know... Tianhe is back, so I thought I could take this opportunity to visit Teyvat and relax." Having said that, Tesla looked at Tianhe.
Theresa couldn't make up her mind. She looked at Tianhe, "Well... Tianhe, what do you think?"
Tianhe originally came to watch Theresa and Tesla bickering with the intention of being a spectator, but as a result, he ended up becoming a spectator himself.
Seeing this, Tianhe gave his own advice, "Tesla, if you want to go to Teyvat, there is no problem with me. I will stay in Mond for the rest of the time. Compared with the other six countries in Teyvat, Mond is at least relatively stable on the surface."
"Oh? Tianhe, what you mean is... there are quite a few people in the country of Mond who are secretly ready to make moves. It sounds quite interesting. Well, you'd better not disturb my vacation, that would be not good." Tianhe replied with a smile.
"Oh, well, Tesla, you can rest assured. I have a good relationship with the Fatui executive officer stationed in Mond. I forgot to introduce to you what kind of organization the Fatui is. Well, it is the official organization of the Kingdom of Winter and has the strongest military force among the seven nations of Teyvat."
"The Fatui..." Tesla murmured, as if she had thought of something. "This organization sounds familiar. I remember that you, Tianhe, also established a similar organization in this world. Is it a coincidence?"
Tianhe shook his head. "It must be a coincidence. Who knows what I was thinking at the time. However, the organization I founded at least has the most basic bottom line, which you all know."
Theresa and Tesla nodded at the same time. They both agreed with this matter. They had never heard of Tianhe doing anything that caused public outrage.
So, Tianhe continued, "This organization called the Fatui on the continent of Teyvat is different in nature from the one I founded. First of all, the Fatui is not black and white, but a combination of good and evil."
"There are good people inside, and there are bad people, so it's hard to say what's right and wrong. I won't go into detail. At least, we can trust the executive officer [Madam] stationed in Mond. She can be said to be one of our own."
"But as for the Fatui executor who was traveling with her... let's put it this way. His true form is a beast that has done so many evil things that he can't even be washed clean by throwing him into the water. He deserves to be cut into pieces. Although this person is just a slice of him, he must have no good intentions in coming to Mondstadt this time."
"So, should I be wary of him then?" Tesla expressed his doubts.
Tianhe smiled and shook his head. "Ah, no, a Liyue enthusiast attacked him not long ago. He is currently recuperating in bed. You don't have to worry about him."
Tesla pouted, his eyes revealing some dissatisfaction, "You made him sound so bad, I thought he was some ultimate villain, but he turned out to be just a little Karami, it's really disappointing."
"If you want, I can be a villain for once."
"Oh, forget it. I'm just a small scientist and can't stand the hassle." Tesla waved his hand and quickly refused. What a joke! So many people have barely passed the Tianhe, which obviously had a lot of water in it, and you are the one hitting it with your head.
Theresa suddenly spoke up, and she said to Tesla, "Since Tianhe has agreed, then Tesla, you should discuss it with Tianhe later to see how to arrange it. Tianhe and I have something serious to discuss, what do you think?"
Tesla understood Theresa's meaning. Although she wanted to talk to Tianhe more, she had to give face to the principal at this time. So Tesla chose to leave.
Tianhe and Theresa were the only two people left in the office.
