Chapter 16: Selling Stupidity
Kindness is the surplus of the strong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The strength here does not only refer to the strength of the objective strength, but also includes the strength of the soul.
This is the truth of the real world, and no matter what others say, Jack just believes it.
Anyway, after letting the two sister flower assassins go, Jack felt that he was full of strength, his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer painful, and his whole body was refreshed. Jack simply attributes this series of psychological reactions to his act of saving his enemies, which he feels has made him break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly.
"So, that's the explanation you had with a disgusting smile on your face when you were doing a handstand?"
Tifa played her Zixia Gong slowly, her bottom plate was steady, but she was as light as a butterfly when she moved. She turned her head sideways to look at Jack in the courtyard on a handstand, and she looked down at his handsome face, and then at that face raised a lewd smile.
Jack tried to hold back the smile on his face as he endured the reckoning with his arms, but the next moment, as beads of sweat slid down the tip of his nose and onto his forehead, he couldn't help but grin again.
This time, he didn't plan to endure it, but complained with some difficulty:
"I don't have to laugh yet! Of course I'm happy after doing good deeds!"
"Are you sure this is what you really think?" Tifa brushed the hair around her ear, she lowered her head slightly, Jack saw her small round chin, and her face was slightly annoyed, "Are you a fool? Rescue your assassins and let them go?" Jack, what are you thinking?"
"Huh?" said Jack jokingly, "if you want to open a big harem, just let those two sisters know that I spent 300,000 gold to save their lives, and they will soon have a crush on me, and then, soon they will fall in love with me, and finally join my harem!
"Hooh, harem, isn't it?" Tifa smiled charmingly, and without hesitation, she kicked Jack in the stomach with a flying kick, and although Tifa took it for granted, Tifa's flying kick was still powerful, knocking Mr. Jack, who was already doing a handstand, straight to the grass.
"Ahem...... Poof!"
Jack, who had been hit hard in the stomach, lay on the ground and convulsed, coughing from time to time as if he was dying, and after a while, he slowly pushed himself up when he felt the sharp pain in his stomach almost disappear.
He sat on his knees, looking at Tifa, who frowned lightly and had a cold face, and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, hahaha!"
He smiled so freely and naturally, completely different from the smirk of the previous few days, and it was not until the moment he let go of the two assassins that he understood what it meant to really [go on the road with laughter], it was not a fake smirk that was forcibly pulled, but a heartfelt, brave and fearless laugh.
Looking back on his previous performance, it was too childish, but life is on the road to continuous perfection, isn't it?
Infected by Jack's laughter, soon, Tifa's indifference could not be contained, she habitually pursed her lips and laughed shallowly.
"Jack, you're back. ”
"What's back?" Jack Jack stood up, twisted his old waist that was about to be kicked off, and when he heard Tifa's words, he stroked his yellow hair, his face was full of exaggerated narcissism, "Don't say it's my handsomeness, my handsomeness has always been !!"
"Poof!" Tifa covered her mouth, her wide, narrowed eyes bent into crescent moons.
After laughing for a while, Tifa finally got serious, she gently hammered Jack's chest, and said:
"Your heart is back, isn't it?"
"Yes, I'm back. Jack nodded, and then, as if thinking of something, he said, "Oh, yes, Tifa, I suddenly remembered that I still need to gather some information for my new weapon, so I'll go back to the study first!"
Turning around, Jack, who was about to retreat in quick and small steps that went unnoticed, was suddenly grabbed by Tifa's shoulder.
He turned his head and smiled innocently, and said, "What's the matter?" Tifa, do you have anything else to do? I've been very busy lately, and I have a lot of work!"
Ti Fa looked at Jack, and also showed an innocent smile, but her hand holding Jack's shoulder became more and more forceful, "Are you busy? Where are you busy? Master Jack, I am doing all the scheduling, I am signing all the agreements, and I am taking care of the factory, may I ask, where are you busy? What kind of hurry is it that you don't even have time to finish your daily martial arts cultivation?"
"Hahaha...... Don't worry about these little things......" Jack laughed awkwardly with a smile big enough to enter the meme, indeed, after Luke's death, Tifa unwittingly became the de facto butler of the Scarlet family, and she has been worrying about many things lately, so much so that Jack can't refute it at all.
Tifa suddenly retracted the smile on his face and said in a stern tone, "Now, continue to do a handstand for five minutes." ”
After Jack carefully examined his words, he found that Tifa's face was resolute, obviously, he had no room to shake his wit, and he had no choice but to take a few steps forward honestly, turn over, and put himself upside down on the grass again.
"My stomach feels a little painful!" Jack muttered before he lasted five seconds.
"That's your delusion, Jack, I just kicked you in a corner without any mistakes, so your muscles only hurt for a while, but not hurt. If you don't believe me, well, why don't I kick you again?" Tifa smiled like a little devil.
"Please don't!"
"Then listen up, Jack, and the next thing I'm going to read is the intel you asked to gather about the Red Enchantress Assassins. The Red Enchantress, an almost all-female group of assassins, was founded by a woman known as Red Veil, and the information is unknown, but she was active forty years ago, so she should already be an old woman. ”
"Is this important? Why do you want to accentuate the tone?"
"Because I don't want you to let the enemy go again because someone else is too pretty. ”
"I've never ...... for such a ridiculous reason"
"Listen to me first, you have time to interject, you might as well focus on adjusting your breathing. Tifa glanced at Jack and continued, "The Red Enchantress is mainly active in the southeast of the Kingdom of Jidala, they are an assassin group with no bottom line, as long as they have enough money, they can do any kind of work - even killing people in the city, their heyday was 20 years ago, when they were most active, recently, I heard that they took refuge in the Grand Duke of Star Bridge in Star City, so they are a lot more settled. ”
"Did you find out what kind of conspiracy they were up to?"
"No, they haven't had much activity lately, however, there are more reliable sources that suggest that the Red Enchantress's headquarters are in Star City. ”
"Starry City......
Jack raised a hand to shake his chin in a pensive look, but he forgot that he was doing a handstand.
So, Jack, who lost his balance, suddenly shouted in panic:
"Wow, !!aaaaa
Tifa on the side looked at Jack selling stupidity, his face full of indifference.
"Tsk!"
