CHAPTER XXIII
)
By the time the noise in the only small building in the entire bazaar had cleared, it was past midnight; One by one, the rich men who attended the banquet bid farewell to the businesswoman, the host of the banquet; Then, with the bodyguards they had been waiting for, they walked towards the treehouse where they lived—the people of Sennuma District, who had been in high spirits and patrolling the night, were even more wide-eyed at the moment; Falling short is definitely not what they want.
Just now, they had received good news from Xsol - Lady Galia, who was hosting the banquet, and many of the rich people who attended the banquet, had decided to start pouring money into the first large-scale bazaar in Sennuma District a month later; Although it was only the news of a capital injection, it was enough to get all the people of Chinuma District excited; After all, with Kimpton's investment, they were able to build a full range of facilities and attract talent from all walks of life, and only with these facilities and talents could their lives be better!
Therefore, at this time, the people of Qiannuma District looked at these rich people walking in the night, even if the other party looked proud, or even disdainful of them, but every person in Qiannuma District remembered their own task - to protect these rich people who can change the fate of their children and grandchildren, even if they put down their dignity, they did not hesitate; Because it's for their descendants!
No one in the Thousand Ponds wants their offspring to live the same life as themselves—they have to go deep into all kinds of dangerous swamps and dense forests to collect herbs before they become adults, and face wild beasts, poisonous insects, and criminals who have wandered into this inaccessible place; Compared with young people such as Limoa and Xsol, Toka, who has reached middle age, has a deeper understanding; After all, as a person who once had three brothers, only one of whom eventually survived to adulthood and became the pillar of the entire family, he had seen too much of the sorrow and helplessness of families in the Sennuma District; Therefore, for this opportunity, Toca vowed to seize it as early as the moment the businesswoman's bodyguard came to the door; The success of tonight's banquet made him relieved and even more grateful to the businesswoman standing in front of the small building.
"Ms. Galia, thank you for this opportunity to give the people of Chinuma District!" Toka bowed slightly, and said unusually formally, "If you have any trouble in Chinuma District, please remember that the people of Chinuma District will be standing behind you!" ”
"As a businessman, mutual benefit is king! Therefore, I believe that our next cooperation will be very smooth! The businesswoman smiled and looked at the representative of Sennuma who had made an almost unlimited promise to herself, and replied softly - compared to some of the beings around her who were filled with Kimpton, the businesswoman knew very well that although the people of Sennuma in front of her were also for Kimpton, their fundamental purpose was different, so that they had an incomparable integrity of the former.
Therefore, the businesswoman knew very well that what the representative of the vast majority of the people of Chinuma District had said before was definitely not just words, but a promise, an unlimited promise that the other party could do absolutely if she could do it—however, in the face of such a promise, the businesswoman did not show the surprise of ordinary people; Although it is impossible to deny the influence of the people of Sennuma District, compared to the influence of the other party, the businesswoman believes in her own ability more.
Looking at the businesswoman with an indifferent face, Toka bowed again, then turned around and walked towards the temporary convening point set up earlier - Toca did not have any dissatisfaction in his heart, because the news he learned from other sources made him understand that the other party had such confidence and pride; However, the simple middle-aged man in the Sennuma District did not give up the promise he had made because of this, and even at this moment, Toka wanted to repay the other party in other ways. …,
"Uncle Toka! Uncle Toka! ”
As soon as he walked into Toka, who had made a temporary convocation, he was seen by the sharp-eyed young people of Sennuma District, and a group of young people stood up one after another and shouted at Toka who was approaching - Limoya, who was the leader of the young people, walked to Toka's side after everyone had greeted Toka.
"What happened?"
Toka, who had been smiling and looking at the active appearance of the next generation in the Thousand Numa District, immediately restrained his smile and asked in a low voice when he saw the slightly serious Limoa coming over, and asked in a low voice - although Limoa's age is just an adult in the outside world, the ability that Limoa shows is completely inconsistent with his own age is enough to prove that he can play a role in the Thousand Numa District; Otherwise, Toka would not have given Limoa the security of the bazaar after he had gone to the businesswoman's dinner; Therefore, when he saw Limoa with a solemn expression, Toka, who had been in an excited mood since he left the scene of the dinner in the small building, immediately sank in his heart.
"There's something to report to you, Uncle Toka!"
Immediately, Toka and Limoya stepped aside, silently listening to Limoya's malicious behavior towards Little Doug by Wall's bodyguards - Toka's brows were furrowed from the time Limoa began to speak, until Limoa finished speaking, Toka's brows were already tightly twisted together.
The scene he saw at the banquet before, Toka will never forget, especially the discussion between the two of the people around him about what happened, which made him have his own inference about the scene in front of him - the story of a boy who suffered from table tennis and finally rose up to resist; There may be ups and downs and twists and turns, but the final result is happy; At least the boy gained the courage to resist, and the previous abuser was also knocked to the ground; This is Toka's inference, a fifth-rate story that even a fourth-rate screenwriter can write; However, Toca was sure that almost everyone present at the time had inferred this way.
It's just that he didn't think that the cause and process of the matter would be so serious - murder, although it is common in the Sennuma District, but as the target of almost murder, the identity of this boy is quite sensitive, Toka can imagine that once the boy dies; Even the plan for the opening of the Sennuma District, which Ms. Caria was bent on promoting, would definitely be delayed, or even postponed indefinitely.
As for how long?
It depends on what the father who lost his son and was hit crazy will do - but Toca is very confident that the other party will do his best to find the murderer, or the murderer who may exist; Then, at the expense of the other party, they will fight each other until one of them dies.
"Well done, Limoia! You've only saved everyone in Sennuma District once before! Toka slapped Limoya on the shoulder and lowered his voice, "You know, we can't wait; Any delay is a consequence that we cannot afford; So, for the next few days, you need to keep an eye on that boy and that disgusting guy! If that disgusting guy strikes again......"
Speaking of which, Toka, who has always been stocky and honest, has a thick murderous intent on his face, and the cold light flashes in his narrowed eyes, even a wolf will be scared away - as an old man who is older than the most famous Foucault and Orr cousins in the hearts of the natives of Chinuma District now, Toka's kindness will only face the existence of more and better development for the people of Chinuma District; Anyone who wants to destroy the existence of the Thousand Numa District, Toka doesn't mind letting the other party completely disappear from this world, both mentally and physically.
"If you kill that guy, will it affect the plan for this cooperation with Ms. Galia?" …,
Limoya didn't have any burden in his heart to kill the bodyguard, but he had some hesitation in the face of the employer behind the bodyguard; After all, from the observation of squatting on the tree before, Limoa could see that the other party also had a considerable reputation among this group of people.
"I'll talk to Lady Carlia about it! Before I come back, do it the way you did! ”
"Know, Uncle Toka!"
Seeing Limoya's nod, Toka didn't hesitate to walk back towards the small building—the treehouse, which served as a temporary gathering point for the night patrol team in Senuma District, was not far from the market building; In fact, as a landmark building in the entire market, it is not too far from the small building to anywhere in the market; In addition to the small size of the market, it is more because when choosing the address to build the market, because of the various characteristics of the Sennuma District, you can only choose a location close to the edge of the Sennuma District, and the surrounding transportation is quite convenient - however, such a place is not easy to find, even on the edge of the Sennuma District, all kinds of swamps are still all over the place, and only after the real departure from the Sennuma District, will there be a real 'land'!
So, when the Bazaar was built, Toca and the Stouffers made considerable efforts to find the place where all of the above conditions were present; Even though, this place was about half smaller than originally expected - after a few breaths, the anxious Toka appeared in front of the small building again; The two bodyguards standing in front of the small building looked at Toka, who had returned again, and after glancing at each other, one of them walked over.
"Toka, what's the matter?"
"I want to see Lady Galia!"
Facing the bodyguard's questioning, Toka stopped and said straight - Toka is no stranger to the businesswoman's bodyguard, on the contrary, there is a certain amount of communication; Of course, the other party at that time was not the current bodyguard, but the identity of a mercenary; And it was precisely because of the other party's recommendation that he agreed to meet with the businesswoman's personal bodyguard right away; After all, when the other party was still a mercenary, compared to some other notorious guys, the other party had a pretty good reputation when he was in the Sennuma District.
"The owner has just rested! What's going on? Make you so anxious! This isn't the Toca I remember fighting a lone wolf and skinning each other! ”
The previous friendship with Toka made the bodyguard in front of him speak quite casually, and there was even ridicule of Toka in his words; Toca is not disgusted by this, if it is in normal times, he will definitely laugh and fight back against the other party; But at this time, Toka could only frown and smile bitterly, and then continued to say anxiously.
"Can you help me convey that? It's a 100,000 urgent thing! ”
"Such a serious matter? Toka, wait a minute! However, I don't guarantee that the boss will agree with you at this time! Toka's wry smile and anxiety made the bodyguard in front of him stunned, and whispered a word to Toka; Then, he gestured to another bodyguard behind him, turned around and walked towards the small building - the relationship between identity and gender made it impossible for this bodyguard to go directly to the second floor; At the end of the stairs on the first floor of the small building, a female bodyguard was standing there, silently looking at the male bodyguard who came by.
"Mr. Toka has 100,000 urgent things to see the boss!"
The bodyguard looked at the female bodyguard in front of him, and said directly in a low voice with a politeness that did not conform to his identity - Ms. Jialia and the women around her should not use gender to regulate and despise each other; Because that will only cause you to suffer a devastating blow; Such statements have always been in the upper class of Tude, and the most obvious place is the men who follow the businesswoman.
Of course, this is not to say that men around businesswomen are discriminated against – discrimination does not occur next to businesswomen; At the same time, if you want to be respected, you have to show the strength of the match; Just like these female bodyguards next to the female businessmen, each of them has good skills, marksmanship, and corresponding business knowledge training; And whether it is the result of the former or the results of the latter, it is enough to make all the male bodyguards choose to remain silent. …,
After all, most of the men who were mercenaries were difficult to restrain their fiery tempers, but after several competitions, these mercenaries had an absolutely wise choice - they valued the facts and results more than their own fiery tempers.
When facing the strong, all people will forget the gender and age of the former, and will only choose to obey and catch up - this is the mode of getting along between women and men next to businesswomen; Everything speaks with strength; Although at times the upper class of the Dude was despised as the law of the barbarians, the methods of the businesswoman proved to be quite effective; At the very least, after implementing this method, there was no more troublesome or embarrassing thing around her.
Arrange and settle a reasonable matter with a reasonable plan, and everything will be under your control—this is the principle of the businesswoman, just like the banquet to-night, except for the sudden outburst of little Douge, everything went as she expected; Of course, even if it was Doug Jr.'s sudden outburst, the businesswoman was more than happy to accept it; You must know that what she said to Doug and his son before was not polite, but sincere and heartfelt.
The businesswoman's disgust for Wall's annoying guy is from the bottom of her heart, especially after the other party is obviously entangled with Finger, the businesswoman's dislike for Wall has exceeded her own tolerance, and she doesn't even want to maintain the most basic disguise!
Hmph, Wall took those two punches, and he probably roared like a defeated dog now, right? Not a lot of words
So, where did you hide?
The businesswoman lying in the bathtub couldn't help but feel an inexplicable impatience in her heart when she thought of the disappointing reply of her bodyguard before; And this impatience even made her involuntarily beat it like milk, exuding a faint relaxing and tranquil bath soup, splashing a splash - obviously, the bath soup that is usually used to relax after being busy with everything has completely lost its due role at this moment.
"Boss, Mr. Toka said there are 100,000 urgent things to see you!"
The voice of the female bodyguard suddenly came from outside the door, and the businesswoman who was lying on the edge of the wooden bathtub in a daze came back to her senses; The subconscious businesswoman frowned; Undoubtedly, such an disturbance made her feel unhappy from the bottom of her heart; However, thinking of the sincerity of the other party when he said his promise before, it is obvious that the other party will not reappear after leaving for no reason.
The businesswoman, who thought of this, pulled the bath towel from the side and walked straight out of the bathtub - glancing at the bathtub in her room, it was obvious that this was not a suitable place to receive each other; And even without a bathtub, a businesswoman wouldn't let a man into her bedroom at will, even if the two were still in their honeymoon relationship.
"Let him wait a moment; Ten minutes later, I'll go to the living room on the first floor! ”
"Zhilu said, boss!"
……
"Little Doug, do you want to tell me?"
Sitting in a chair in the room, old Doug looked at his son, who was standing in front of him—after persuading his wife back to the bedroom, the whole room was left with only old Doug father and son; Looking at his son with a hint of hesitation on his face in front of him, Old Doug couldn't help but sigh softly.
It's not that he was disappointed, his son's performance before was enough to make him feel gratified, but old Doug's heart was full of curiosity about what happened to his son—but, as an adult, he knew very well that everyone had secrets in their hearts; Even in the face of his father, he can't tell him calmly.
If it had been before tonight, old Doug believed that he would have been furious, but now, it was just a sigh, a sigh of relief mixed with the growth of his son—
"If you don't want to say it, forget it!" Old Doug looked at his son with a relieved smile, waved his hand gently, and said, "You have proved to me tonight that you have grown up!" No need to ...... anything."
"No, Father! I don't intend to hide this from you, but I don't know what to say! Little Doug shook his head, looked at his father who had obviously misunderstood with a wry smile, and finally, gritted his teeth and said, "Wall wants to kill me!" ”
