Chapter 4129 Nowhere to Hide
"Sister, what are you laughing at?"
"No, I just thought of something interesting." Xie Nan said with a smile, "There might be a good show to watch later."
She gestured for Kanon to keep quiet and was very curious about the background of the person who wanted to bribe the waitress... Judging from the conversation, it seemed that he was after Kanon?
The people at the next table were clearly from TGX.
Xie Nan casually tossed a transparent button... The button rolled quickly under the table next to her on the smooth floor.
These people weren't high-ranking TGX employees; they were just front desk staff in the service hall. They didn't know much, and their conversation revolved around routine matters and salaries.
After listening for a moment, Xie Nan stopped paying attention... because the dishes were about to be served, and she had already seen the waitress coming out with the first dish.
"Guest, this is the first dish..."
Miss Nan casually ran her fingers along the edge of the plate, a thought suddenly occurring to her... This dish had no added ingredients, but she wasn't in a hurry. She simply smiled and asked, "Do you offer meals for disabled people here?"
"?" Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what she meant, her pretty face flushing slightly. "I'm sorry, sir, our restaurant does not offer this service..."
Miss Nan waved her hand dismissively, but her gaze lingered on Xiao Xiao's most outstanding features with a half-smile.
Xiao Xiao immediately looked overwhelmed and hurriedly left... On the other side, Arthur had been watching closely and was secretly getting anxious, even giving Xiao Xiao a urging look.
Xiao Xiao simply shook her head slightly, nodding her chin towards the kitchen, indicating that she hadn't found an opportunity.
[Arthur] could only patiently continue to wait.
Xiao Xiao... Fairy Linglong planned to wait until the dessert was ready before making her move. She didn't know what was in the small bottle in her hand, but it was probably not an instant poison.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into Xiao Xiao's sight—which made Fairy Linglong hesitate. She quickly looked around, and a small plan that might have unexpected results instantly formed in her mind.
"Boss, two bottles of Immortal Wine, to go."
At the counter, Shenzhou Zhenlong was carrying two bags with the logo of the clothing store next door... He was even wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap.
She came alone.
She didn't bring Li Huamei with her today... Li Huamei was actually quite busy; in the villa, only [Xiang Feihu] seemed to be seriously doing something.
The clothes in the clothing store next door are just too avant-garde. As a dignified dragon of China, how could she possibly wear such clothes for the sake of female competition? She only bought a few sets of underwear!
While waiting, Long Xiruo suddenly heard a noisy sound.
"Manager, that's the guy!"
Long Xiruo subconsciously pressed her sunglasses down a little.
……
"Manager, that's the guy!"
Xiao Xiao was accompanied by the manager of the Qingya Restaurant, as well as a male waiter.
At this moment, Arthur, who was being pointed at, couldn't help but look surprised and subconsciously frowned.
Xiao Xiao then took out a bottle. "He told me to secretly add the contents of this bottle to other customers' food, and he gave me a lot of [Faro]... When I refused, he threatened me!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao even turned on her communication bracelet and played a video.
"The table near the window...listen to what they're saying...add this to their food..."
Wow--!
In an instant, everyone in the room was shocked—this was happening right under the noses of the TGX building, and someone actually dared to commit such a heinous act!
They're obviously not locals from Marindo; only outsiders would act so brazenly!
"Sir, we have already reported this to the Star Patrol. Please cooperate!" The store manager was also furious.
If a customer gets sick or even dies while eating at your restaurant, can the restaurant still operate properly? ... The reason for not resorting to violence is to protect your image.
Young Master Arthur was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected the waitress to do this... How dare she?
Are there still such upright and incorruptible people in this day and age?
"You fucking tricked me?!"
He had never been treated like this before... Young Master Arthur, who had a habit of using psychic enhancers, was easily angered. Beneath his refined and gentle appearance lay a superhuman!
Instantly, Arthur sprang into action, reaching out to grab Xiao Xiao.
Seeing this, the store manager and the male waiter stepped in front of them, both shocked and angry, "What are you doing!"
"Go away!"
Having already entered his super-powerful state, Arthur casually slapped the two away, sending them flying and knocking over several tables.
Xiao Xiao seemed terrified and collapsed to the ground.
"Die!"
Arthur's gaze was icy cold; he truly wanted to kill this woman... But just then, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
Before Arthur could react, a cup smashed into his chest!
The cup didn't break, but his chest almost shattered... It was as if he had been directly hit by a starship, and the pain almost made Arthur faint on the spot!
Pfft—!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward!
"How dare they commit such a crime in broad daylight!"
The TGX members who were eating suddenly realized what was happening and were furious... Someone had actually killed someone in front of them! Was there no interstellar law anymore?
This is outrageous!
"Grab him!!"
Why wait for star patrol? TGX can do it all by itself.
Several TGX members swarmed forward instantly... [Arthur] was lying on the ground, his chest hit hard, all his super-male traits were instantly rendered useless, he barely resisted a couple of times before being taken down.
"Stay still!! Don't move!"
……
"Are you OK?"
Long Xiruo approached Xiao Xiao without revealing her presence and pulled her up—indeed, she was the one who threw the cup, and no one saw it.
"Ah, thank you..." Xiao Xiao quickly thanked him, then paused for a moment, "You are...you are from that day?!"
Long Xiruo simply made a shushing gesture.
Xiao Xiao quickly apologized, "Thank you for your help again!"
Long Xiruo asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you after you point out that person?"
Xiao Xiao's shoulders trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly, "The shop...the shop manager is a very good person. He hired me...I...I can't hurt him, and I can't let this wicked person hurt others. I...I don't know..."
Seeing the girl's helpless expression, Long Xiruo couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
At this moment, Arthur, the "murderer," has been captured by several TGX officers. Since his workplace is just across the street, there's no need for the police to respond; they can simply take him back.
Unexpectedly, the "murderer," who had been like a dead dog, suddenly sprang into action.
From his hand, a metal sphere the size of a fist instantly appeared... The moment the metal sphere hit the ground, it cracked open and then burst out with an extremely dazzling light!
"not good!!"
"Holy shit..."
"careful!"
Xiao Xiao immediately hugged Long Xiruo, as if she wanted to protect her... The true dragon of Shenzhou narrowed its eyes again and then let Xiao Xiao knock it to the ground.
Boom! ...
A deafening roar... A massive blast of air instantly shot out of the [Qingya] restaurant, blowing up the entire building that housed it.
……
"Cough cough cough..."
After the explosion, the site was a pile of ruins, and several adjacent buildings nearby were also affected.
This was only because a strong energy fluctuation was detected, prompting the city's safety system to activate the energy barriers on the streets, thus limiting the blast radius.
Amidst the ruins, a purple orb of light pushed aside the fallen steel plate.
Xiao Xiao scrambled to her feet in a panic. "Are you alright?"
Long Xiruo looked curiously at the jade pendant emitting purple light on Xiao Xiao's somewhat unfair chest... Suddenly, a crack appeared on the pendant, and it split open, followed by the purple light sphere dissipating instantly.
A look of pain flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, but she didn't make a sound. Instead, she took the initiative to reach out and pull Long Xiruo up.
In the chaos, many people struggled to crawl out of the ruins... Those who didn't make it out were likely never to rise again.
The TGX office building is right across the street, and the police have already been dispatched.
Long Xiruo casually patted the dust off her clothes and looked around, only to find that the two women who had been sitting at the table by the window had disappeared at some point.
They were not buried under the rubble.
They probably slipped away quietly during the chaos.
Long Xiruo was even a little surprised that she hadn't noticed when the person had slipped away.
……
TGX personnel are currently on-site conducting rescue and information gathering operations.
Xiao Xiao sat to the side, lost in thought, holding the broken purple jade pendant in her hands.
Long Xiruo walked over at this moment, "Is this jade pendant very important to you?"
Xiao Xiao quickly put the jade pendant away, shook her head and said, "It's nothing valuable, it's just a bit of a pity... I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Long Xiruo sat down as well and said calmly, "The power of the explosion was not weak. The fact that your jade pendant could withstand it proves that it is not an ordinary item. You have saved me once, and I don't owe anyone favors. Where did you buy this? I will compensate you with one."
"No need." Xiao Xiao shook her head. "Actually, I was also trying to save myself. In that situation, even if it wasn't to save someone, the jade pendant would have activated to protect me."
Long Xiruo stared at Xiao Xiao for a few moments, "The thing you carry with you is something really important, isn't it?"
Xiao Xiao lowered her head and remained silent.
Long Xiruo said, "Are you sure you don't need me to pay you back?"
“I can’t find a second one…” Xiao Xiao kept her head down. “This is what my father left me.”
"Father?"
Xiao Xiao's voice trembled with tears, "I...I've never actually met him...My father and mother met during an adventure, they were together briefly, then my father left, and my mother gave birth to me..."
"So you're going to turn your back on me once you've pulled up your pants?" Long Xiruo sneered.
“That’s not how it is. Mother said Father doesn’t know about this…” Xiao Xiao quickly shook her head. “Moreover, Mother said Father is going to do something very important… This jade pendant is something he left behind.”
"and after?"
Xiao Xiao sighed, "My father never came back after he left. My mother gave birth to me and raised me, but she also died in a star beast attack. My hometown has been destroyed... I wanted to find my father, so I've been working odd jobs everywhere, and eventually came to [Marindo]. Because my father and mother met at the mercenary guild here..."
"Your father is from the [Mythological Side]?" Long Xiruo asked abruptly.
The jade plaque bears traces of Taoist magic.
Xiao Xiao nodded. "My mother said that my father was a disciple of a very powerful sect... I don't really know."
Long Xiruo suddenly asked, "What are your plans?"
Xiao Xiao said blankly, "I don't know either... Maybe I'll find another job to support myself first."
Long Xiruo said, "The guy who tried to bribe you has probably run away. Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate? After all, you betrayed him."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Maybe this is my fate."
Long Xiruo nodded, her communication bracelet suddenly touching Xiao Xiao's bracelet. "We've gotten to know each other now. I'm currently staying in [Marindo], so feel free to contact me if you need anything. After all, you saved me once..."
"This……"
"I'm leaving." Long Xiruo chuckled softly. "Those TGX guys were too much trouble to question. I don't like trouble..."
It vanished in a flash.
Xiao Xiao quickly stood up, her eyes constantly searching... After a while, a TGX person came over and began to question her, and she cooperated carefully.
……
In mid-air, the hidden Divine Dragon of China, its dragon eyes flashing, looked at Xiao Xiao, who was meekly cooperating with TGX, and couldn't help but scratch its head.
"Isn't this guy tired...? He's putting on quite a show though."
Under the dragon's gaze, Xiao Xiao's outer garments had been torn open—to Long Xiruo's surprise, this girl was quite pretty, and at least at the [Radiant Moon] level...
What is she trying to do?
The voice of [Ice Wheel] came to my ear, "Probably in order to get closer to you, my lord..."
……
……
Cough cough...cough—!
In the sewers, young master Arthur struggled forward, leaning against the wall—his injuries were far more serious than he had imagined.
What a bad start...
[Arthur] was so regretful at this moment that his intestines were tied in knots.
Who exactly smashed that cup...? Was there such a powerful person in the Qingya Pavilion back then?
"Damn it..."
[Arthur] cursed inwardly, when suddenly a warning signal came to him. In the dim sewer, a dark red beam of light, as thick as a finger, shot towards him in an instant!
It pierced right through Arthur's thigh... The terrifying destructive power remaining in the wound was frantically breaking down his cells!
what--!
Young Master Arthur screamed and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, "Who...who ambushed me...come out here!!!"
"Oh, weren't you the one who wanted to have someone drug us?"
Arthur suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
A figure slowly emerged from the floor... long legs, short hair, and a playful smile—Miss Nan!
Arthur's gaze immediately turned cold.
A dark red beam shot out again, piercing straight through Arthur's shoulder... At the same time, four floating cannons appeared and locked onto Arthur's side.
Above the muzzle of the floating cannon, streams of destructive power were gathering.
"Don't...kill me..." Arthur was now completely limp, his fear far exceeding the physical pain.
Miss Nan narrowed her eyes. "I'm quite curious. Although I have many enemies, I can't recall anyone like you among them... So, why do you want to use medicine on me? It's not just lust, is it?"
"Misunderstanding..."
"Hehe?"
The floating light cannons flashed, one of them aimed directly at Arthur's head.
"Wait, I'll talk!" Arthur exclaimed in terror, "I was bewitched... You're all so beautiful, I couldn't resist taking you back... I'm here to attend the ceremony, you can't kill me, otherwise the forces behind me will cause you considerable trouble... I, I'm willing to compensate you..."
"Oh, you should have said so earlier! Open the accounts, all accounts, handsome~" Miss Nan said with a smile, "After all, you wouldn't want someone to die before all the money is spent, would you?"
"..." [Arthur] shakily turned on the communication bracelet.
Just then, Miss Nan suddenly pried open Arthur's mouth and poured in some foul-smelling liquid.
Arthur exclaimed in shock, "What did you give me to drink?!"
Miss Nan chuckled and said, "Guess?"
[Arthur] felt a wave of nausea spreading through his body, a general feeling of unease, and a chilling fear corroding his very soul...
"Handsome guy~ You're not being honest."
