"Kafka, I still believe it's too risky for you to come to the Northern Territory with us this time!" A middle-aged man dressed in slightly thin clothing, with a worker's attire, advised the woman beside him who was similarly dressed as a worker but wore a cap that covered most of her face.

The woman was Kallen, and the middle-aged man beside her was a comrade from the Workers' Federation. Accompanying them were several other workers from the Workers' Federation.

They were currently on a train heading to Chernobyl, carrying with them thermos flasks ordered by the factories in the Northern Territory from Pignes Castle.

Although the Northern Territory's own factories could also make these, Perfikot still gave an order to Pignes Castle, and Kallen and the other workers of the Workers' Federation were escorting this batch of goods to the Northern Territory for delivery.

Of course, delivering a batch of goods didn't require so many people. However, when Kallen expressed her intention to visit the Northern Territory, the others in the Workers' Federation couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they could only send more people to protect her.

Kallen had already developed the Workers' YD rapidly, not only in Pignes Castle but also in surrounding cities and factories, where their Workers' Federation branches and presence were gradually forming. Their influence even reached as far as New Shaker City.

A large number of workers, engineers, and grassroots laborers joined their ranks, becoming members of the Workers' Federation, which continuously expanded the organization. This made Kallen consider whether she should rename the Workers' Federation.

Because the Workers' Federation wasn't solely comprised of workers anymore, Kallen felt she needed a name that better represented everyone.

Similarly, due to the expansion of their influence, Kallen, as the leader and spiritual mentor of the Workers' Federation, became increasingly significant.

Currently, only this seemingly petite woman within the entire Workers' Federation could unite the branches of the Workers' Federation from various cities and factories into a cohesive whole rather than a scattered and disorganized group.

This undoubtedly solidified Kallen's position and importance within the Workers' Federation, but at the same time, she gradually became exposed to the authorities of the New Continent's colonies.

Kallen was already a wanted criminal, one of the top targets in the New Continent's colonies, with a bounty of five thousand gold pounds.

Upon hearing about this bounty, Kallen even contemplated whether she should let herself be captured in exchange for the reward to raise some funds for the Workers' Federation.

Although she solved funding issues for the Workers' Federation in various ways after receiving assistance from Perfikot last time, an additional sum of money would still be welcome for the Workers' Federation.

As for herself? Kallen didn't believe the prisons of the New Continent's colonies could hold her, a master thief.

Unless Perfikot intervened personally, perhaps then Kallen might be captured without resistance.

It was precisely because of this that everyone in the Workers' Federation opposed Kallen personally coming to the Northern Territory.

Because the Northern Territory is different from the New Continent, where the density of Extraordinary practitioners is too high. Whether it's alchemists, Steam Knights, or the most dangerous and terrifying ruler of the Northern Territory himself, the Count of the Northern Territory, they all have enough strength to capture Kallen and imprison her, making her escape impossible.

But for Kallen, this wasn't a concern because she knew Perfikot wouldn't truly make things difficult for her.

The main reason for her visit to the Northern Territory was to meet with Perfikot and discuss the direction of the Workers' Federation.

She naturally couldn't reveal this to the others in the Workers' Federation, as the fact that the Lord of the North was the behind-the-scenes supporter of the Workers' Federation would ruin the foundation of their current endeavors.

"Don't worry too much about me, Jon." Kallen smiled at her companion, reassuring him: "I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special compared to everyone else. There's no warrant for me in the Northern Territory, so as long as I'm careful, there shouldn't be any trouble.

Besides, even if something really happens, the Workers' Federation still has you, and others. I believe you can continue our cause.

I'm just someone who lit the torch; the path is yours to walk. If our cause can't continue without me, then I must say what I've done is a failure."

Hearing Kallen's words, the middle-aged man dressed as a worker, Jon, shook his head disapprovingly and said: "But Kafka, you are our leader in the Workers' Federation. Currently, only you can unite everyone. Without you, we would be like a ship without a captain, losing our way!"

Kallen could only shake her head helplessly at Jon's remark, sighing: "Jon, I've told you many times, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm merely sharing what I know; you're the ones taking action. I haven't played any special role in our cause.

I'm glad everyone respects me and is willing to listen, but you mustn't elevate me above others. Doing so would separate me from everyone, detach me from reality, and hinder our cause's development, even turning me into an obstacle.

Someone once told me that if something must rely on one person alone to succeed, then it's bound to fail.

The true Workers' YD shouldn't be a single person's call to action, but every individual participating voluntarily, becoming an unstoppable and grand momentum like rolling waves! Only then can we truly overthrow oppression and exploitation, and usher in the world we truly hope for!"

Listening to Kallen's words, Jon could feel that every word she spoke came from her heart, which made him respect her even more.

In fact, although Kallen repeatedly said she was just an ordinary person, the other members of the Workers' Federation regarded her as their leader and spiritual guide, because without her, no one else could gain everyone's trust or have the prestige to rally everyone.

The more Kallen emphasized this, the more it highlighted her noble character, making everyone in the Workers' Federation increasingly respect her.

Jon knew it was futile to persuade her further, so he didn't say much more, only instructed Kallen: "No matter what, Kafka, you're very important to our Workers' Federation now. Please be sure to stay safe once you reach the Northern Territory. I'll do my utmost to protect you!"

"Alright, thank you for your kindness, Jon." Kallen, feeling a bit helpless, still accepted Jon's goodwill in the end.
