Last Totem Novel - Chapter 469
Chapter 469 Trust
After leaving the old witch’s divination house, Tie Zha walked alone on the old street. Tie Ling stayed with the old witch and was taught by her.
Recalling the old blind silence and the gentleness of the old woman, his eyes turned red. It was only because of his tenacious personality that he managed to hold back his tears. Ever since he was young, he had only cried three times. Even when Old Man Tie died, he did not shed a single tear. Because he didn’t feel that he owed anyone, nor did he feel ashamed. He had a clear conscience, so he could face it calmly.
Cozan’s sacrifice was an unexpected change, and at this moment, he personally sent the old woman to her death. Because he saw joy and affection in her gaze on Tie Ling …
“Child, please don’t be sad. This is the way we inherit the insects.”
“My teacher did the same …”
Cozan’s words were still in his ears. The so-called Iron Blood Inheritance was to pass on the complete mutated gene to the next generation while his life was still at an end and his body was still healthy. This was the cruelest and greatest inheritance in the world. When he personally experienced it and pushed others onto this path, his heart felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. It was an indescribable feeling to surge up with the bitterness and bitterness.
“I am the guardian of the altar” He kept muttering in his heart, just wanting to make himself feel better.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Sandstorm Castle, two people were in trouble in the office of the Mining Commission in the City Hall building, just as Tie Zha was in a state of turmoil.
“Say it again, what are you going to do!” A slightly bald middle-aged man slapped the table and stood up. He asked with shock written all over his face.
“Guild Leader … I … I want to surrender …” He Xin said in a trembling voice as he broke out into cold sweat.
After staring at him for a while, the president’s expression gradually became serious. Then, he slowly sat down and gestured, “Commissioner He, please speak.”
“I…” He Xin hesitated for a long time before finally remembering the eggs in his body. He immediately told the whole story. From how he contacted Yang Yong of the Azure Bee Mobile Corps to how two clerks were killed, everything was said.
After listening to He Xin’s narrative, the Guild Leader fell into deep thought. Bullying newbies had always been the custom in the business district. Could it be that Syris Investment Co., Ltd. Had some background to force He Xin to surrender in order to survive?
After a long time, the Guild Leader raised his head and said to He Xin, “Truth be told, why did you come here? Originally …” He subconsciously looked left and right, stretched his neck forward, and said in a low voice, “It’s not a big deal …”
“A few hours ago, a woman suddenly appeared at my house and asked me about the situation at Crimson Peak Stronghold. Afterwards, I checked. She is the Holy Maiden of the Sun Snake Sect. Her name is Bi Tiange. I’m afraid … “He Xin paused for a moment and said in an intensified tone,” The water in here is very deep … “He Xin didn’t dare to tell the real reason. After all, this matter involved his own life. If the Guild Leader was bribed by Yang Yong, his situation would be very dangerous. Coincidentally, it was the honeymoon period of the Sun Serpent Cult and the World Council. If they used this reason as a shield, the Guild Leader would definitely not dare to investigate further.
As expected, the Guild Leader pondered for a while before saying, “I’ve roughly figured out what happened to you” After pondering for a few seconds, he continued, “I won’t report it for the time being. I hope that you can make it up to me and settle this matter properly.”
He Xin was dumbfounded when he received a calm answer.
“Guild Leader … You mean … I … I’m going back like this?” He Xin asked anxiously.
“Yeah, do you still want me to treat you to dinner?” The Guild Leader asked.
“This” He Xin revealed a bitter expression. If this continued, he would probably lose his life very soon.
“Don’t worry, no matter how arrogant the Azure Bee Mobile Corps is, they won’t dare to kill us right in front of our eyes.” The Guild Leader said righteously.
“Boss, I’ve been helping you for so many years” He Xin broke out in cold sweat as he spoke with a trembling voice, but he was quickly stopped by the president.
“Look at your little accomplishment!” Then, the Guild Leader said in a deep voice, “He Xin, don’t forget that you are the commissioner of the Sand Wind Castle Mining Committee. What kind of thing is Yang Yong? Even the Azure Bee Mobile Corps is nothing more than an ant that can be crushed to death at any time in front of us!”
“Guild Leader” He Xin was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.
“If you weren’t greedy and honest, what would others dare to do to you?” Seeing He Xin lower his head, the Guild Leader’s tone slowed down and comforted him, “You go back first. I’ll go find the Deputy Mayor later and ask him to inform Detective Vick to capture Yang Yong immediately.”
“Alright” He Xin nodded in a low mood and turned to leave the president’s office. He understood in his heart that the Guild Leader was not helping him, nor was it for the sake of the reputation of Sand Wind Castle City Hall. Instead, he wanted to borrow this incident to obtain benefits from the Azure Bee Mobile Corps. Of course, if the other party ignored it, hypocritical justice would descend. At that time, even a hundred Azure Bee Mobile Corps would not be able to stop him.
When He Xin returned to his apartment uneasily, Tie Zha also returned to Syris Investment Co., Ltd. ‘s office.
Seeing that Tie Zha was not in a good mood, Lena bit her lips and smiled. She put her arms around his neck and asked, “My little baby, what’s wrong?”
Tie Zha was thinking about something, but he didn’t react.
“Little baby, who made you unhappy? Quickly tell elder sister, elder sister will beat him up.” Lena shook him and asked.
Tie Zha turned around and was stunned for a moment. She didn’t realize that she was calling him that. After all, it had been years since anyone had called him that. But by the time he understood, his entire person would be in a bad mood.
“Can you … can you change the name …” Tie Zha said gloomily. At any rate, he was now the head of the First Army. If Lilith or Quinn heard him, they might not react in person, but they would definitely laugh behind their backs until their stomachs hurt.
‘”Isn’t that what I used to call her?” Lena pretended to be wronged and said, “Now that she’s grown up, the little fairy has seen more. She doesn’t want her sister anymore.”
“That’s not what I meant” Tie Zha scratched his hair and said.
‘”That’s what you mean” Lena shook his shoulder relentlessly.
“How about…” Tie Zha changed the topic and said, “I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Lena smiled and said, “Oh, it’s getting better and better now. I’m going to treat girls to dinner.”
“Is that strange?” Tie Zha asked in confusion.
“Why not breakfast, lunch, but dinner?” Lena asked.
“Is there a difference?” “There’s a big difference ~”
Tie Zha frowned, as if he didn’t understand at all.
“After dinner, have some more wine ~” “And then?” “Find a place to talk and talk ~” “Then what?” ‘”And then dragged on until late into the night ~” “So …” “So you succeeded ~”
“Sounds good, but …” Tie Zha grinned and said, “I don’t need to.”
Lena snorted and said, “The bigger the worse.”
After a while, Lena put on her big sunglasses and went out with Tie Zha to the big rum bar across the street.
This place was the same as two years ago. It was still the boss and the hostess, but Xiao Yue was no longer here.
After sitting down, Tie Zha asked the waiter to bring over the menu. Just as he was about to order, he realized that there wasn’t even a bit of good wine here. He and Lena had to hide their identities and could not go to high-end places to spend money. They could only stay in the small bar on the street. He recalled that in the academy, the good wine he drank and the good food he ate could not be shared with the woman in front of him.
He couldn’t help but feel sour in his heart. This woman who had given the most to her had the least …
Thinking of this, Tie Zha put down the menu and asked Lena, “Sister, have you heard of ice crystal fruit wine?”
At this moment, Lena was supporting her chin with one hand and looking away. Hearing his question, a pair of black jade-like eyes rolled over and glanced at him. She lazily said, “No, big sister has very little experience. She has never been anywhere except Sand City and Tieshan Town, and she doesn’t know anything” Then, she turned her head and looked at him. Then, she revealed a playful smile and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you want to treat big sister to a drink?”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded and said seriously, “In the future, I will take you to the end of the world to drink the best wine in the world and soak in the most comfortable hot spring.”
Hearing his promise, Lena felt like her heart was melting. The candlelight reflected in his large eyes was actually covered with a layer of water mist, becoming absent-minded and confused.
“What you said …” she asked hesitantly. “Is it all true?” She stared fixedly into his eyes, like a little girl waiting for an adult’s approval.
“Really …” Tie Zha said solemnly. “With my life …” Halfway through his words, his mouth was covered by a slightly cold hand.
“I believe you.” Lena said softly, not letting him finish the second half of his sentence.
“I” After Lena released her grip, Tie Zha was about to speak, but was interrupted by her again.
“Alright, hurry up and order something to eat. I’m hungry.” Lena said with a straight face.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded, then called the waiter and started ordering.
“Two largest steaks, three fruit and vegetable salads, and two large glasses of ale.” Tie Zha said as he looked at the menu.
But before the waiter could answer, Lena interrupted.
“Ah ~ So stingy ~ You want to starve your sister to death …” She scolded and turned to the waiter and said, “Have a whole roasted cow leg, thank you.”
“Ah?” The waiter was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrong. However, he quickly reacted and hurriedly nodded, “Alright, miss.” As the waiter of the restaurant, he naturally hoped that the more customers ordered, the better. As for whether the other party could finish his meal or not, what did it have to do with him?
However, he would soon be shocked, because Lena’s appetite was unparalleled. Killing an entire roasted cow leg was only thirty percent full. When she was in a good mood, she could eat thirty to forty kilograms of beef in one meal.
