Last Totem Novel - Chapter 496
Chapter 496 Becky
“Cheers!” Hillman and Quinn looked at each other and smiled. Then, they each picked up their wine glasses and lightly touched each other. Nothing was said.
“Sure! So you guys are hiding here and slacking off. I want to tell the boss!” Just as the two of them were laughing, a silver bell-like cry suddenly rang in their ears. It was clear and bright, causing their hands to tremble in fear, and the wine almost spilled out.
Immediately after, a figure appeared from the side. Linglong was exquisite and charming, and her translucent appearance gradually became tangible. Her eyes shone brightly, and her sweet smile was somewhat charming. It was Lilith.
When they saw the person clearly, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. If it was said that she was lazy, Lilith was definitely the number one person in the entire Crimson Peak Stronghold. She was the most leisurely person besides Lena. She had nothing to do all day long and strolled around with her hands in her buttocks pockets.
Ever since Tie Ling left, she had become even more bored, often hiding herself and playing pranks on herself. Of course, she did not dare to play tricks on Hagrid, for Hagrid was serious and unsmiling; He didn’t dare to bully Zhao Wenke, because Zhao Wen was too cunning, afraid that he would get revenge. He didn’t dare to provoke Tie Zha. If he was caught, he might lose his life on the spot.
However, the others weren’t so lucky. They had more or less been harmed by her. For example, halfway through the meal, a cockroach suddenly appeared on the plate. It might still be alive. Or when he sat down, the chair behind him suddenly disappeared …
All in all, the place where she appeared would inevitably be a place where chickens would fly and dogs would jump. However, her position was quite high, and everyone had no choice but to do something to her. After the soldiers were teased, they had to salute and say, “Hello, sir.”
“Little girl, we are partners fighting side by side. There is no need to expose each other’s weaknesses.” Quinn said with an awe-inspiring tone.
“This beautiful lady, we are good friends, and I am your devout admirer. Why should I do this?” Hillman raised his head and said, “Come on, I’ll buy you a drink.”
“I’m on vacation today, not slacking off.” Bai Xiaoyun said expressionlessly. He didn’t need to pay Lilith’s bill. Anyway, his immediate superior was easy to talk to. Wang Hu was extremely strict in managing the army and was very strict in his work. He was very particular about the rules of the army, but Mu Qianhe’s management was much more relaxed. Because the composition of the two teams was somewhat different, Wang Hu was dominated by Marines and Mu Qianhe was dominated by mecha pilots, so there were corresponding differences in management methods.
“Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore. I have business to attend to.” Lilith did not continue to dwell on this small question. Instead, she looked at Quinn and said seriously.
“Ah?” The client had a puzzled expression on his face.
“Sister Syris said that the light bulb in the office is broken again. I want you to go over and fix it.” Lilith said.
“This …” Quinn was stunned for a moment and said, “Why are you looking for me every time …” He said gloomily, “I’m not an electrician.”
“Eldest Sister said that you are reliable.” Lilith patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
“Let me run over a thousand kilometers just to fix a light bulb. Can’t I just find an electrician?” Cried Quinn painfully. He was a murderous assassin, and Cheng Tian was feeling a little aggrieved to do trivial things.
“Then tell her yourself. I’m just a messenger anyway.” Lilith looked at him and said.
‘”Sigh” Quinn sighed, raised his head and took a sip of wine, then stood up and left.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyun and Hillman lowered their heads and covered their mouths with their hands, as if they were lost in thought. Even though their expressions looked serious, their faces contracted slightly. It was obvious that they were secretly smiling.
“What are you laughing at? Boss wants you to go.” Lilith suddenly turned her head and said to Hillman.
“What? Call me?” Hillman asked doubtfully.
“That’s right. He said he had something to do with you. He told you to go to the rest center to find him.” Lilith said.
“What about me?” After the two of them left, Bai Xiaoyun asked. Maintaining close contact with the leadership was the way for a handyman to survive.
“You” Lilith looked at the ceiling and thought for a while before saying, “Chat with me.”
“You are insane!” Bai Xiaoyun rolled his eyes and scolded. He was not interested in this little girl, chattering and annoying.
“Then you can play by yourself.” After saying that, Lilith left angrily.
“Hey … hey hey …” After everyone left, Bai Xiaoyun remembered that none of them had checked out yet.
“Big Brother Xiaoyun, there’s a total of three gold and two silver. Thank you for your patronage.” Not long after, Xiao Yue’s obedient voice sounded in her ears.
Bai Xiaoyun’s hands trembled slightly as he took out his purse and cried out in pain, “Rogues, they’re all rogues …”
About half an hour ago …
Tie Zha was flipping through the personnel information in his office when Zhao Wenke knocked on the door and walked in.
“Boss, there’s something I need your help with.” He said with a smile.
“Huh?” Tie Zha put down the information and looked at the staff officer of Crimson Peak Stronghold.
“Follow me.” Zhao Wen said, then pulled Tie Zha out of the office without any explanation. He sat on the elevator and arrived at the resting center on the third floor.
It was three o’clock in the afternoon. The soldiers had gone to train, so there were very few people in the rest center.
Looking up, it was a hall of several thousand square meters. There were dark blue carpets on the floor, rows of orange light tubes on the roof, and various printed paintings on the wall. Moreover, every once in a while, there was a small LCD screen that was broadcasting news and various programs of Silver City World.
There were many sofas and coffee tables in the middle of the hall. They were divided into small boxes with low cabinets, each of which could accommodate seven to eight people. Beside the wall, there were a large number of indoor plants, as well as some vases and baskets of fake flowers. It was a relaxing and pleasant scene. Here, the soldiers can be fully relaxed.
Not long after, Zhao Wenke brought Tie Zha to a corner of the lounge and sat down. Then, he meaningfully looked to the side.
Tie Zha could naturally see his hint. Looking in that direction, he saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and with fair skin sitting upright on the couch, holding a thick book in his hand and looking at it with rapt attention. His robes were well cut, and the dark red silk was embroidered with golden patterns. It was luxurious and exquisite, and one could tell that it was not ordinary.
“Ben?” Tie Zha sat down and whispered. A few days ago, as an investor, Ben Mordleton Jr. attended the inauguration ceremony of Crimson Peak Stronghold and temporarily stayed here.
“Yes.” Zhao Wenke nodded his head and took out a hot kettle and cup from a nearby cabinet. As he brewed coffee, he said, “Do you think he’s lonely?”
“And then?” Tie Zha asked.
Zhao Wenke glanced over and said, “I think if one of us can establish an intimate relationship with him, one day …” “If something goes wrong, maybe he will open his eyes and close them …”
Tie Zha was a smart person, so he naturally understood what he meant. Then, he grinned and said, “Friend, I’ll trouble you.”
“Me?” Zhao Wenke laughed and pushed the brewed coffee over, saying, “It’s not charming enough.” Then he said, “Friend, you are a world famous Wilderness Knight, Temple Princess, Goddess of Happiness, Spirit Snake Holy Maiden. Haven’t you all lost to you?”
Tie Zha picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, and slowly said, “Firstly, I can’t reveal my identity. Secondly …” He narrowed his eyes and said, “I don’t like men.”
“The second point is no problem, because …” Zhao Wenke smiled and said, “She’s a woman.”
“Ah?” Tie Zha was slightly shocked.
Zhao Wenke immediately explained that since her two brothers had died one after another, and she was not a psionic, in order to manage the family business better, she had to dress up as a man so that she could walk around. Her real name wasn’t Ben, but Bicky.
“But I can’t reveal my identity.” Said Tie Zha. Not to mention whether he was willing to pick up girls with a purpose, if the other party knew of his identity, he might immediately tell You Ge. In his perception, the nobles were all connected with Qi, and internal struggles would often occur, but when they encountered external forces, they would unite with the outside world.
Moreover, he didn’t have much confidence in his charm.
Zhao Wenke waved his hand and said, “No, I’m not letting you go … I mean, let your second brother go.”
‘”This …” Tie Zha hesitated for a moment and said, “He can’t …” Hagrid was simple and honest, but somewhat rude, and just like him, he was uneducated and wooden. How could he understand the thoughts of the noble ladies?
“Then who do you think is suitable?” Zhao Wenke asked.
‘”Oh” Tie Zha pondered for a moment before thinking of a suitable candidate. He stood up and looked around. He saw Lilith eating ice cream not far away and waved to her.
“Boss, can I help you?” Lilith jumped over and asked as she ate her ice cream.
“Call Hillman over.” Tie Zha instructed in a low voice.
‘”Alright.” After saying that, Lilith twisted her little butt and ran down.
Not long after, Hillman came, and Zhao Wenke told him what he thought. Hillman raised his hair handsomely, smiled, and said, “As you wish.”
In order to get a better grasp of the situation, Zhao Wenke quietly tossed a bug into Hillman’s pocket before he left the room.
A few minutes later, Hillman straightened his collar, pulled his sleeves, and walked into Ben’s room, where Biggie Mordleton Jr. was.
“Excuse me, is it convenient to enter?” Hillman bowed slightly and asked politely.
‘”Ah” Bicky raised her head and met a pair of scorching eyes. Immediately, she panicked and said timidly, “Please … please sit down …” She had been sick since childhood, and her body had not been very good, so her personality was a little weak.
‘”Please forgive me for taking the liberty of seeing the book you were reading, Bernadette’s Ring, which I have read as well …” Hillman smiled warmly and said, “A regrettable love story.”
‘”Ah ~” Bicky subconsciously covered her mouth, then stood up and said, “I’ll make you laugh.”
“Since we both like the same story, would it be an honor for me to sit down and have a cup of afternoon tea with you?” Hillman said.
“I’m extremely happy.” Bicky nodded slightly and said.
At the same time, not far from them, the two masterminds behind the scenes were whispering to each other.
“So sour.” The staff officer commented, simple and direct.
“Yes.” Another person agreed.
