Chapter 45: Return to the Imperial Capital
"Okay, don't you still want to let go?" In front of the courtyard gate of Leyi Courtyard, Hylando leaned against the white courtyard wall and looked at Cook and Betty with interest.
Cook and Betty suddenly let go of their hands in a panic, and stood in place, squirming and squirming at a loss, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
"Sister Lan, where's little Lisa?" Cook scratched his head in embarrassment, glanced around, and found that Dai Lisa was not beside Highland.
You've brought your girlfriend here, how dare I leave little Lisa here. Hylando complained angrily in her heart, put on a helpless look, and said to Cook: "I asked little Lisa to go in first, presumably she is already waiting at the teleportation table now." β
Forehead...... Is that a spatial teleportation-type ability item? Cook rubbed his stomach with some stomach ache when he heard about the portal. Thinking about it, when he rode this portal, the feeling of nausea and headache was really unforgettable.
"Is it okay, can little Lisa stand it?" Cook's face turned a little pale.
"Hmm...... The discomfort will definitely be there, but it shouldn't be a problem. β
Hearing this, Cook couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Dai Lisa wouldn't have any problems.
Seeing Cook's relieved look, Betty's expression gradually became a little unnatural, and sometimes, she really felt that Cook was too doting on her sister.
"Alright, it's time to go, we'll have a report to do when we get back. Highlandor said to Cook.
"Ah...... Good. Cook replied in a daze.
Frowning, he secretly glanced at Betty, to be honest, he was very worried about Betty's future life, without her father and brother, her future life would be quite difficult, right?
Betty was unaware of Cook's concerns, but Highlander saw everything.
"Don't worry, your little girlfriend is much more capable than you think. Highland's expression gradually became mysterious, and the smile was very bright and slightly weird, and Cook looked unnatural.
"She's a real rich woman. β
"What?!" Cook's pupils widened suddenly, and the muscles in his neck seemed to be mechanical, and he slowly turned his head one by one, his face full of incredulity.
On the side, seeing Cook showing such a shocked look, Betty couldn't help but put her hands on her hips very angrily, straightened her slightly bulging chest, tilted her head, shook her long waist-length hair, and made a "hum" sound quite proudly.
"She's the majority shareholder of several clothing malls in the city, including Claudia, the one she took you to before, and she also has a shareholding. Highlando's willingness to introduce Betty's hidden identity to Cook was written all over her face.
The main thing is that Cook's shocked expression is so funny that she can't help it.
And Betty is getting taller and taller, looking complacent, Cook is slightly bitter in his heart, he is like this, is he being raised by a rich woman?
"Hmph, it's just some hobbies on weekdays!"
Betty's wonderful speech made Cook's face darken, but he couldn't do anything to resist......
"Secretly ask, how many dragon wheel coins are stored in your silver card?" Cook leaned over to Betty's side, tried his best to keep his voice to a minimum, and asked with some humility and embarrassment.
"Want to know?" Betty glanced at Cook triumphantly, took out the silver card, tucked it between her fingers, and gently dangled it in front of Cook.
"I'll show you. Betty's white jade hand stroked the silver card, and then the pale gold numbers began to tumble and flicker on it, and in less than a moment, the numbers froze.
Cook quickly craned his neck, his eyes widened, and he didn't even dare to let out the air, and looked at the number.
One-digit, two-digit, three-digit...... Six-digit, seven-digit ......
Seven digits, then again, what is seven digits? The divine light in Cook's eyes gradually dissipated, and he looked up at the sky, his mouth was half open, and he didn't even know when a few wisps of unknown liquid were flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"You!, aren't you disgusting?!" Betty scolded Cook with disgust in her eyes, but she still took out a blue handkerchief from her arms and carefully wiped the saliva from the corners of Cook's mouth.
"Sorry...... I was so rude just now. Cook suddenly came back to his senses, and also realized the embarrassment just now, touched his nose, and looked very embarrassed.
"It's time for you to go!" Betty said angrily after wiping Cook's saliva, glaring at him squeamishly, refolding the blue handkerchief and retracting it into her arms.
"Hmm......" Cook nodded a little heavily.
"What a problem! You two are grinding and chirping!" Hylando, unable to stand Cook's continued sensationalism, rushed over and grabbed Cook by the collar, and walked towards the door without looking back.
"Little Betty, see you in a month!" Highlando's voice finally came after walking far away.
"What?Sister Lan!!, what happened a month later?" followed by Cook's fussy screams.
Betty, who was still standing at the door, burst out laughing and scolded softly, "Pig head, I'll look for you in a month." β
β¦β¦
"No, Sister Lan, what does it mean in a month? Have you met before? Have you all discussed it?" When he arrived at the teleportation station, Cook still kept asking about Hylando, and Rao was also a little upset by his noise.
"Brother?" On the other side, Dai Lisha, who finally waited for Cook and Highland, asked a little puzzled after seeing Cook's appearance.
"Uh......" Cook looked at Dai Lisa with a cute face, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and after coughing desperately a few times to cover up, he stopped making noise.
"Are you going to leave now?" John asked, bowing slightly.
Highlander nodded and said, "The sooner the better." β
"Then the three of you will be invited to the stage. β
The teleportation array of the branch is slightly different from the teleportation array of the headquarters, the teleportation array of the headquarters is a little larger and more natural, it is a precision technology that perfectly combines the cold mechanical sense with the natural sense of comfort, and the branch does not have this feeling at all, the whole body is cold metallic, and the space is still a little narrow.
Standing on the metal panel, Cook could clearly feel the heaviness of the dead silence, far less comfortable than the large meadow of the headquarters.
However, this feeling was only a matter of moments, because by the time John activated the device, Cook was completely unconscious.
I might ...... I can't get used to this, do you...... As Cook was unconscious, the last thought crossed his mind.
In the imperial palace of the Laiya Empire, wisps of purple fluorescent mist suddenly appeared on a certain lawn, and soon this lawn was completely covered, and when the four huge ancient bronze mirrors came into contact with these purple mist seas, they actually emitted a very strong purple fluorescence from them, and the fluorescence intersected and rendered, and the three figures slowly condensed in it.
As soon as he teleported here, Cook fell heavily to the ground in a coma, but thanks to the soft soil of this lawn, Cook didn't fall out of any problems.
After a few minutes......
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen someone feel more and more uncomfortable with teleportation. β
"If he goes on like this, will he still be able to use the portal in the future?"
"Hmm...... That's a problem. β
In the palace, in a palace room, Cook collapsed on the sofa, unconscious, and several big men surrounded him, as if they had seen some rare species, and they exchanged words with each other, and the discussion continued.
"By the way, little sister Duo, why did you bring a little Lori back this time?" Censor Mai Sijie was quite puzzled, looking at Dai Lisha, who was held tightly in her arms by Hai Landuo and her face was a little pale, and scratched her head.
Isn't that weird? These two people, after a trip, brought a child back?
Hylando glanced at him angrily, it was a look at the mentally retarded, and said, "What do you think, this is little Cook's sister." β
"What? He still has a sister?" Duke turned his head at this time, frightened, "Sister, sister is some devil! I will only dislike you and disgust you all day long, and when I ask you for money, you won't give her and beat you!"
It can be seen that Duke is a man with a lot of stories......
"Cut, little Lisa won't be as savage as your sister, what is wrong with learning at a young age, but I want to be a little sister, right, little Lisa?"
"Well, I like my brother the most. Dai Lisa was very uncomfortable at this time due to the influence of spatial teleportation, but she was still able to say Cook's liking directly.
"Fart! It's all a lie!" Duke was far from accepting the fact.
"You calm down first......" At this time, Manton suddenly walked over, pressed Duke's shoulder, and then asked Highland, "And how is the rookie doing this time?"
Manton's words seemed to have a magical effect, and the room, which had been very noisy, fell silent all of a sudden, and all eyes were focused on Highlando.
Their curiosity about newcomers was no less than anything else, after all, it was a young boy who could get a letter of recommendation from Old Man Hal and enter the headquarters as a first-order supernatural person, how could they not be curious.
You know, when they were Cook's age, they were still in high school.
"Hmm...... If you have to say it...... This commission, it was basically Cook Jr. who was in control of the rhythm. β
Eh, Hailando's words directly stunned the few big men present, blinking at each other and staring at each other, but there was a feeling of cuteness.
"Wait! You mean you're an old man who was taken away by a newcomer?" asked Masjie as he took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and asked tentatively.
"It's still a bit ...... to say that you are flying. However, in terms of the overall role he played, he was indeed bigger than me. β
At this time, whether it was Meisjie, Duke, or Manton, they all looked at each other deeply, revealing a look of can't help laughing, but they were afraid that in the next second, they would burst into laughter.
"Laugh, laugh, I don't care at all. How could Hai Landuo not see that these men were trying their best to stop laughing at her, showing a very understanding bright smile, and said.
Poofβfinally, Duke couldn't help himself.
"If you want to talk about this operation, little Cook is really amazing, and he even has a girlfriend. Highlander suddenly smiled coldly.
"Wait! You're saying it again?"
"Girlfriend? Are you sure it's not a girlfriend?"
"What you're talking about, it's the one who's completely different from you, who will be coquettish and cute and beg for kisses and hugs, that girlfriend?"
Although the last sentence made the blue tendons on Hylando's face burst out, she still tried her best to restrain herself and nodded.
