Chapter 86: The Rules of the Game (Part II)
Othello Star Central Hospital.
This central hospital integrating medical treatment, rehabilitation, and research is the largest medical center in the entire Othello planet. Because it belongs to the political axe institution and has the surname of a military hospital, compared to those high-end private hospitals in Las Vegas, it is the most advanced in the whole of Othello in terms of size and medical facilities.
Perhaps in order to appease Robin, Alfred arranged the highest VIP treatment room in the hospital for him and Martina, and hired the best doctors to treat Martina.
But in reality, Martina was only a little frightened, except for a knock on her forehead due to the crash, she did not suffer any serious external injuries. In contrast, Robin, who fought Arnold to the death, was the one who was really injured, but Robin considered that this was the Raymond Federation, so he didn't want to leave any blood and genetic samples, so he politely refused the doctor's treatment, and instead used the cultivation cabin in the VIP treatment room to treat his own trauma.
The whole treatment time was about thirty minutes, and Robin, who had long been accustomed to soaking in the nutrient solution, used this time to sleep beautifully to replenish the energy consumed by the battle.
'Tick! ~’
With a crisp electronic sound, countless bubbles bubbled in the cultivation chamber, and the light green nutrient solution that seemed to be boiling was discharged from the cabin by the hose, while Robin, who was in deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes. However, when he woke up, he found Martina, dressed in a hospital gown, squatting outside the training cabin with her chin up, staring at him in the training cabin with a mixture of worry and admiration.
Subconsciously looked at himself naked [***] in the transparent glass cover, Robin's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. However, Martina, who was outside the cabin, did not realize Robin's embarrassment, and after seeing Robin wake up, she was pleasantly surprised to get clothes for Robin.
Opening the glass hatch of the cultivation cabin, Robin saw that Martina seemed to want to serve herself and get dressed, so she hurriedly snatched the clothes with a flushed face and put them on her body, and said embarrassedly: "I'll just come by myself." ”
Putting on his clothes with his back to Martina as fast as he could, Robin looked at Martina who was sitting beside him suspiciously and didn't want to leave: "You've been sitting here?" Didn't go for a break? ”
"I ...... As soon as I close my eyes, I think of those terrible things. I only feel safe when I'm by your side......" Martina looked apologetically at Robin's shallow scar on her ribs and muttered, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me...... You're going to get hurt. ”
Martina pursed her lips in guilt, which made her look particularly pitiful in a petite and loose hospital gown, and Robin couldn't help but feel pity for her delicate appearance.
"What a stupid thing!" Smiling and picking Martina up by the waist, Robin carried her to the hospital bed: "It was my negligence that made you so frightened, but now that everything is over, Arnold is dead, and no one can hurt you anymore." ”
"Robin ......" was held in Robin's arms, feeling Robin's powerful heartbeat, Martina suddenly hugged Robin hard, and pressed her hot and delicate cheeks against Robin: "Please don't leave me, okay?" ”
"......" Martina's loving words made Robin's face suddenly look a little unnatural.
Sighing softly in his heart, Robin gently put her on the hospital bed and kissed her forehead gently: "Rest in peace, I won't leave." ”
Perhaps it was Robin's kiss that made Martina's heart finally relax, and she looked at Robin sitting on the edge of the bed with affection, and Martina's slightly pale face was frightened with a sweet smile. Soon, a strong sense of tiredness swept over her, causing Martina to fall asleep sweetly with a smile on her face.
Looking at Martina, who was curled up on the hospital bed, grabbing the corner of his clothes and sleeping like a kitten, Robin pulled the strands of hair on Martina's forehead with some melancholy: "I'm ......the one who should say I'm sorry."
By now, Robin has deeply felt Martina's fascination with her. And after this kidnapping incident, Martina regarded him as the support of her life.
This is not the result that Robin wants, and he knows very well that sooner or later he will leave the Federation and become a public enemy of the Federation. So even without Cecilia, Martina's love for him was destined to end in tragedy.
And as long as he thinks that Martina, who has lost his father and pinned all her feelings on herself, will be hurt and even implicated, Robin feels a deep guilt. He didn't dare to wonder if Martina would have the courage to continue living if one day she knew that everything she did was taking advantage of her.
Silently looking at Martina's sweet sleeping face, Robin's self-blame in his heart overwhelmed him, at this moment, he even had the idea of giving up, and even thought about not returning to the Nine Star Republic, just living incognito in the Federation.
However, just as Robin began to hesitate at this thought, his personal communication suddenly began to vibrate slightly.
"Hey! ~Mr. Robin, I'm Calvin and I have good news for you. The communication was connected, and Calvin's excited voice was immediately heard over the communicator.
"Good news?"
Robin couldn't help but look stunned when he heard this, to be honest, he was ready to receive bad news when he received Calvin's communication. Because in his opinion, Martina was hijacked on the way back from the bank, and she simply did not have time to go to the Ministry of Commerce to inject capital to declare the auction seat, so in this way, the bid for the mining rights of Bruno Star Mining should have been lost. But now, Calvin says he's going to tell himself the good news, much to Robin's confusion.
"Good news, of course! ~" In the communication, Calvin exclaimed excitedly: "The hand you played yesterday was so beautiful, fortunately you didn't do what I said, if you come to apply for funding today, I will really be finished." ”
"Wait a minute."
From Calvin's words, Martina seemed to have done something she didn't know yesterday, Robin hurriedly and carefully pulled the corner of his clothes from Martina's fingers, walked to the window and asked in a low voice, "What happened yesterday?" Can you tell me more about it? ”
"You don't know?" Calvin, who was on the other end of the communication, was stunned for a moment and then said: "After you left yesterday, I announced the operation of Stanley Mining Company last year through secret channels. After that, Miss Martina went to the Commonwealth Bank to apply for a personal loan, and through the Commonwealth Bank's funding channels, she applied for an auction seat for the mining rights of Bruno Star Mining in the name of Roche Logistics......"
"Roche Logistics! ~"Hearing that Martina had actually injected capital into the Ministry of Commerce yesterday, and in the name of Roche Logistics, Robin was shocked beyond words.
"That's right, it was in the personal name of Miss Martina, the second shareholder of Roche Logistics. And on the way out of the bank, Miss Martina was hijacked by gangsters, and now the seat declaration is over......" Speaking of this, Calvin also seemed to realize something, and asked tentatively: "Didn't you arrange this hijacking for the sake of concealment?" ”
"Of course not......"
"Damn, that's so lucky, oh no...... It must be too much of a coincidence. In the communication, Calvin said nervously: "Do you know that after the application for the seat just now, Mr. Xavier, the Minister of Commerce, actually asked me to talk, which was to investigate the leakage of confidential information of the Ministry of Commerce. ”
"Did they suspect you?"
"Yes, I was inevitably suspected of having just taken over the information being leaked, and many people saw you walk into my office at the time, and you were the one who won the final bid, so it was my negligence." After a pause, Calvin suddenly rejoiced: "Although I know that it is rude to say this, but fortunately, Miss Martina was hijacked on the way back from the bank, and the business manager of the Commonwealth Bank also confirmed that he had concealed the leak of business information from Miss Martina after being investigated, so Mr. Xavier believed that Miss Martina was hijacked to delay the opportunity to cancel the bid." Also, by the way, I put the blame on my ex Wright? In Osvid's case, he was the person who had access to this confidential trade material in addition to me, and I had taken his place. So Mr. Xavier has come to believe in Wright? In retaliation for me taking his place, Osvid secretly leaked the operations of Stanley Mining in an attempt to botch up the auction. ”
"That ......" suppressed the excitement in his heart, and Robin asked with a trembling voice: "The final result is ......"
"You're the only bidder who hasn't withdrawn your bid after the offer closes, so you'll be able to bid directly at 63.5 million yuan. I've got all the relevant documents ready, so Mr. Robin, you can always come and get the proof of Bruno Star Mining's mining rights. ”
"Competition...... Successful bidding! ~" Robin still can't believe that he really got the right to mine Bruno Star Mining, and he was stunned for a long time before he hesitated to ask: "I really got the right to mine Bruno Star Mine?" ”
"Of course, I have all the documents ready, as long as you come and sign, then the mining rights are yours. And, Mr. Robin, you're really my lucky star. At the end of this internal investigation by the Department of Commerce, Mr. Xavier thought that I had won you to bid, so he was very satisfied that I was able to auction a mining right that is now worth only five million for 63.5 million. Hehe...... I really didn't expect this to be a win-win situation. ”
“……”
Robin looked at the sleeping Martina with complicated eyes, and then thought of the 60,000 prisoners of war of the Republic who were about to be imprisoned on Bruno, and replied with some touch: "Yes...... I didn't expect it to be like this......"
