Chapter 4 Unexpected Reasons for Action

"Are you serious?"

You asked lightly. Although the tone was asking questions, the serious face seemed to have confirmed Lloyd's answer a long time ago.

"Ah, yes. Isn't it better to see for yourself than to guess their intentions here? ”

Lloyd also looked up and looked him in the eye. Lloyd's gaze was only determined, and he looked at it for a moment, then sighed as if giving up, rubbing his temples vigorously.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Lloyd is now a newborn calf...... Completely unaware of the horror of the Karumon Consortium, they are the existence that cannot be classified as "tigers", but as "monsters".

What a headache, I don't want you to touch those guys at all. You wondered how to get his companion to give up this idea.

The Karumen consortium is dangerous.

"That's too unconsistent......" You tried to analyze the pros and cons for Lloyd, but he didn't expect Lloyd to turn around and ask, "Unconspiracy?" Why? ”

"Why? We're just an agency of the police department that doesn't have a good name, investigating ...... Karumen"

Before he finished speaking, You stopped talking.

Because he saw Lloyd smiling confidently and closing his eyes, as if he had succeeded in his conspiracy. You's performance has been a bit too eye-catching lately, and Lloyd has been thinking of competing with him as soon as he doesn't pay attention.

Lloyd was naΓ―ve, but he wasn't stupid. From the performance of his companions, he naturally knew how bad the people of the Karuman Consortium were, so he was not prepared to "investigate" and "visit" the Karumen Consortium.

"I didn't say we're going to investigate them."

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the support department, and everyone thought the same as Yuki Tatsumi, thinking that Lloyd Bannings would propose to investigate the inside story of the Karuman consortium.

Even Randy, who had been gloomy when he heard the official opening of the Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce, couldn't help but look at Lloyd with some curiosity.

If it's not an investigation, then there's no reason to visit them?

"Don't we have a normal reason? Like what...... Shopping. ”

Lloyd said as he pulled open his coat, searched carefully in his inner pocket, and finally pulled out a golden card. It looks like it's because I don't care too much, so I stuffed it somewhere.

The cheesy gold, the soft brilliance suddenly made Lloyd look extravagant.

"This is ......" You squinted his eyes and carefully read the handwriting on it, and then remembered...... "Is it the VIP card that Karumen Haas gave us?"

"That's right. If we just 'take the VIP card and see what we can afford to buy at a discount', even the Karumun consortium won't do anything to us, right? ”

There was confidence in Lloyd's words.

Ellie couldn't help but be shocked by his audacity, she didn't expect Lloyd to suddenly take this out. The person who was accosted by Karuman Haas was Ellie, but she didn't expect the card she got to come in handy on such an occasion.

Randy couldn't help but sneer, and said mockingly, "What, Lloyd, are you going to buy a heavy machine gun too?" ”

"Randy! That's not what Lloyd meant......"

Hearing the obvious malice and provocation in Randy's tone, Ellie hurried to make peace, for fear that the two would fight.

She had already discovered that as soon as the Karuman Foundation was involved, Yuki Tatsumi and Randy Orlando would become very strange, and that kind of excessive caution could no longer be described as "cautious". It's like......

It's as if they had suffered a big loss, for example, they had been hunted down by the Karuman consortium and so on, and if it weren't for this level of impression, it would be hard to imagine that Randy, who always had an unserious face, and Yu, who always smiled with a relieved face, would become so cautious.

There is a proverb in the East called "Once bitten by a snake for ten years, they are afraid of the well rope", and their current behavior is as if they have been bitten by a snake and then see the performance of the poisonous snake.

However, it was time to ask questions a lot, and Ellie was careful to see Lloyd's reaction, lest the easy-going teenager would not read the air and say anything to provoke them.

Lloyd was on the spot, and Randy's overreaction made him feel strange. It's just angry talk, and Lloyd wouldn't be really stupid enough to believe that this was Randy's intention, but why did Randy overreact so much? Lloyd's bad habit of thinking returned, and he couldn't help but start remembering Randy's affair.

Before, because You said very explicitly, "I have a shady scene, you come to investigate me", Lloyd was all about You, hoping to get a glimpse of the sincerity of this companion's words. Now that You has openly explained his identity, Lloyd looks at Randy's previous performance again, and feels a little unnatural.

However, after all, it was a bit far away, and Lloyd didn't pay much attention at the time, and now he was asked to analyze the irrationality in Randy's mode of action, even Lloyd felt that there was nowhere to start.

Seeing that Lloyd had been silent, Randy also found his impulsiveness, he made a bitter face, reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Sorry Lloyd, I'm a little nervous, I'll go back and lie down first-it hurts......"

Before Randy could finish speaking, a sudden pain came from his calf. Randy subconsciously crouched down and rubbed the wound vigorously, hoping to alleviate the pain.

"Stupid ......"

Theo's eyes were open with indifference and emotionlessness, and there was a rare emotion in his toneβ€”a feeling called resentment.

"Tio is so handsome!"

He Xu looked at Theo with admiration: it was so handsome to be able to kick this kind of tall man who looked full of courage mercilessly!

Randy can only endure it, how can there be an adult who sprinkles fire on a child? Moreover, it is true that he is not right in today's matter.

Lloyd didn't mean that, Randy knew it. Saying that kind of angry thing is not so much that he is condemning Lloyd, but more like trying to provoke Lloyd to punch himself.

After being kicked by Theo, Randy also realizes that something is wrong with him.

Why are you so angry? Randy himself doesn't know. Is it because Lloyd wants to meddle without knowing the sky? Or is it because of his identity that he is angry with Lloyd? Or is it anger at the imminent proliferation of high-powered weapons?

"Anyway...... I'm not in a good place today - what are you doing! ”

Before Randy could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a wind behind his legs, and quickly rushed forward to dodge a surprise attack.

I saw Yu Tatsumi lifting his legs, looking like he didn't care about himself.

Unlike Theo's kick, the swimmer's kick came out with all his might, and there was an ominous black fighting aura wrapped around it, and if he was kicked, it wouldn't hurt for a while.

"Randy, we're a collective. You can't be so lazy. ”

Yu said a high-sounding speech as he reached out to Randy, who was squatting on the ground. Being troubled like this, the gloomy expression on Randy's face gradually disappeared. Randy knew he wouldn't be able to run.

However, if Lloyd and the others are allowed to go out and end up in trouble, Randy will feel guilty afterwards......

Forget it, so be it.

Randy gave up resistance.

I'm afraid it's going to be a bad trip for my heart...... Randy smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed his heart. He looked at his companions around him, Ellie was worried, Yu was confident, Theo was indifferent, Lotus was adoring - looking at Theo, of course, and Lloyd was pleading.

The kind of innocent eyes that only children can have rarely appear in adults. Randy had seen this look before, and before coming to Crossbell, he had a best friend, and he would make this puppy look every day.

"Okay, okay, don't put on that pitiful face, I'll go with you."
