Sweating profusely, Tails coughed as he gulped in the rare air as if he cherished the water in the desert, trembling all over.

But Grivoy didn't let him go, and his confinement was still so hard to break free.

"Really, whether it's a thousand or two thousand gold coins, I'll give you double," Tails regained his senses a little, gasping and sweating, "The Bright Star Royal Family is rich, and the stars are also rich...... The property of the secret department in Longxiao City alone is enough for hundreds of thousands......"

Grivo raised an eyebrow.

"Very good......

"Wait," but after a second, the man's face sank, "You mean, you're going to find the Kingdom of Stars?"

"Secret department, secret department will do," Tails, who had just recovered from Venus in front of him, blinked vigorously: "They will definitely give ......"

The next moment, there was another heavy pressure on his neck, and his trachea was closed again!

"Shut up, I'm really a fool," was Grivoy's annoyed voice: "Listen, I only take cash!"

Tails struggled to take one last breath of air.

Damn it...... This bastard......

I look like I have cash on me!

"If, you take me...... Hand it back...... "Tails fought hard for his chance:

"Pray for the Far Side...... War with the Freedom League, and the stars ......"

Grivo interrupted him impatiently: "Shut up, I don't understand politics!"

Tails, who had a Venus in his eyes again, only felt a knot.

What kind of people are these!

"Forget it, let's go find the dead face, it's safe......"

Grivo muttered as he stepped up his efforts to knock Tersler unconscious.

Tails cried out in his heart, and he desperately used his brain, fighting the air and the enemy, while desperately shouting the word:

"Shield Zone!"

It was only a few seconds before Grivo's arm loosened again.

"What?" he asked, frowning.

Tails took the opportunity to take a few sharp breaths of air, accelerating the awakening of his head.

Yes.

Shield area.

"I hear you...... The conversation you just had. The prince tilted the back of his head slightly away from Grivo's chest and said in pain.

Just now, no matter what insults and contempt he faced, Grivo did not move.

But only when the enemy began to threaten him with shields, with his brothers' siblings......

"Here, this is the shield area, right?"

Tails gasped, his words gradually fluencing, "And you're probably in charge here...... Look around you, it's in tatters...... One or two thousand gold coins is not enough to rebuild, you need more, not only money......"

Grivo was silent for a few moments.

But in the end, he still snorted coldly and shook his head: "Shut up, I'm content, I'm not interested in causing trouble." ”

Seeing that Grivoy was about to start strangling him again, Tails hurriedly spoke:

"Also, I heard you!"

"Those who died in the shield six years ago, that's your brother, right?"

As he said this, Tails felt Grivoy behind him tremble slightly.

"In the past six years, their surviving family members also need to be cared for and lived, you should be very worried...... I guess Longxiao City doesn't have any disaster emergency fund to compensate for the loss of the shield area......"

Tails squirted fluently and invincibly as he struggled to figure out how to get out.

Grivo made a dull and dissatisfied guttural voice.

"Shut up!"

This time, there was a hint of displeasure in the veteran's words.

But then he was stunned: "Disaster...... Kim, what's that? to compensate for the loss of the shield area?"

Tails' heart moved, and he felt that he had found a breakthrough.

"That's not important, it's important," the prince took another breath and gritted his teeth, "as the boss, you have a lot of responsibilities on your back, you can't look at the shield area, watch your brothers and the territory have been stuck in poverty and threats......"

Grivo's breathing slowly became rapid.

"Shut up," Grevo's voice became particularly cold, "don't point fingers at other people's homes. ”

But Tails didn't pay attention to his tone, he had already tormented enough of tonight's events: "But now, I, the prince of wealth and gold, can help you, you have a chance to save the shield area that no one cares about, and rebuild it, not just the Meteorite Knocker, as long as you ...... me"

Grivo let out a low roar.

"Shut up!" he said through gritted teeth.

Tails greedily inhaled the next breath of air, thinking about dragging it over first, scooping out all the information in his mind about the shield area, the place the wheelchair warrior cared about:

"Six years ago, I was there when disaster struck, and I saw ...... The people in the shield area, they are so innocent, but they have to go through such a catastrophe......"

Grivo didn't speak, but he began to tremble slightly.

Tails felt a sense of play, and couldn't help but speed up his speech: "You are not like that kind of cold-blooded and selfish person, Grivo, the opportunity is in front of you, you can't give up the shield area because you are too troublesome, you can't stand by and watch their suffering, so that those who die can't rest in peace......"

Rest......

Hearing this, Grivo's body shook violently!

"Shut up," his voice began to tremble, with an inconvenient temperature, "little brat." ”

Tails only felt that the other man's arm was getting looser.

He should be getting closer and closer to the other party's pain points - thinking of this, he couldn't help but lift his spirits.

"After the disaster, the people of the shield have suffered a lot, they depend on you, they can't live like this! you have the responsibility to use all means to protect them, help them, save them......"

Grivo's breathing grew more and more rapid.

Tails raised his voice abruptly: "Grivo, you can't escape! Your inaction not only makes the dead unable to rest in peace, but for those who are still alive and suffering, it is tantamount to murdering them with your own hands......"

As soon as the word "murder" came out, Tails suddenly felt: the hands that clamped his hands trembled violently!

His ears shook, and Grivo shouted like never before:

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

Surprised, Tails only felt that his ears were still buzzing, and before he could soothe it, Grivo's arm tightened again, strangling his neck!

What's going on here......

Tails struggled in pain again, but this time, there was no room for Grivo's strength.

It's like you're going to kill him!

For some reason, Grivo seemed to fall into a rage and madness, and his voice became more and more terrifying:

"You listen to me, boy, what the are you, don't teach me a lesson......"

His arms were trembling, but the strength was not loosened at all, showing the master's tempering and rich experience in the art of "killing".

"Don't teach me how to protect the shield area......"

Grivo was emotional, as if on the verge of collapse:

"Six years ago, I was standing here with a soul-killing gun, standing in the shield area, standing between countless blood and death, with damned, damned blood...... Bloody scourge fights for the ......"

"Fight ......"

Grivo gasped, but paused several times.

"Fight—"

Tails felt that at this moment, this warrior who was still strong and open-minded in the face of a group of opponents, his teeth were actually ...... Chattering?

It's like remembering the deepest nightmare.

The next moment, Grivo clenched his teeth and roared like a volcanic eruption:

"—when you fight to the death!"

In the moonlight, the veteran in the wheelchair roared in pain and rage: "You're still fucking wearing open crotch pants - nursing in the arms of the old grandmother!"

Tails couldn't care less about his ears that were about to be deaf by the roar.

His vision began to blur again.

Worst.

It's a ......

Perverted sadistic bar.

Tails half-closed his eyes, feeling the torment of his empty lungs and the desire to breathe and live.

His consciousness faded away.

But at the same time, a strange feeling came over the whole body: the sin of the Prison River boiled over itself once again.

Like a grumpy beast.

Waiting to break out of the cage.

At the very least, it kept Tails, who was already dizzy, awake for the last of his scenity.

Under the double torture, the exhausted Tails trembled, and with his last breath, he spat out a single word: "No ......"

It was at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the ruins of the empty shield area, there was the sudden sound of horses' hooves and wheels.

A horse-drawn carriage came to a position not far from them.

A lively, brisk young voice rang out: "Boss Grivo, I have ...... your guest"

The voice paused slightly.

Grivo, with a hideous face, raised his head and looked directly at the owner of his voice.

He was desperately strangling Tails, and the strength of his hand couldn't help but loosen.

Tyers, purple-faced, breathed in air again, and he coughed wildly—he had inhaled a lot of saliva from the struggle.

The sin of the prison river, which became more and more irritable in the body, gradually subsided.

The next moment.

"Boss, yes, yes, sorry, I was wrong!"

"No, no, no, I mean I shouldn't, I can't, I can't, no, no, no, I mean I won't, I won't say out, no, no, no, I mean I didn't see anything and didn't know I just came for a walk tonight, no, no, no, I mean I didn't come to the shield tonight at all......"

Grivoy shook his head, trying to come to his senses.

He looked at the carriage in front of him and its rider.

Is that...... Kevin?

On an uncovered wagon, a young coachman was covering his eyes and shouting frantically.

In the back compartment of the carriage, a rickety figure was sitting, coughing slightly.

Grivo froze.

Tonight was very different for Kevin, the poor boy in the shield district.

He was supposed to be driving this tattered and inferior carriage with Boss Grivo's guests to a special and remote place in the shield district.

Kevin didn't know why Boss Grivevo had chosen this place to meet him carefully - but if the boss told him to, he would do it.

That's Drew Grivo, a man with a gun, who guarded Dragons in the catastrophe and the legendary disasters of the hydra Killica!

yes, Kevin remembers those days, remembers those disasters......

Nightmare-like.

But......

When Kevin arrives at his destination and meets the Boss, he can't believe what he's seeing.

What's that?

Of course, Kevin is not referring to corpses and blood in one place - as the most manly man in Longxiao City, where is the powerful Boss Grivo not a bloody storm?

It was a teenager.

Right.

A delicate and thin teenager.

In the moonlight, the handsome young man was sitting in the arms of the boss, looking excited and painful.

I saw the young man put his hands behind his back, put them on the knees of Boss Grivo and trembled slightly, as if he was touching and rubbing something?

His face was flushed, his lips couldn't help opening and closing, and his expression twisted his waist with excitement and excitement, swaying up and down.

Seeing this scene, Kevin's heart froze.

No way.

And what about the Grivoy boss, who has always been open-minded and heroic?

Kevin's eyes narrowed, trying to look more closely.

At this moment, the majestic shield boss in his heart, the civilian hero Grivo, was in a wheelchair, in the ......

Grivo's rough and powerful left hand, which lacked two fingers, was intimately wrapping around the boy's upper body from behind, pressing him tightly into his embrace, while his right hand stretched out to the boy's lower body, placed out of Kevin's sight, and shook gently with the boy's movements.

What the?

Kevin's eyes widened, and his jaw was about to drop.

More than that: Boss Grivo, who usually does the heaviest work with ease, is actually panting violently at this moment, and his iron-like body is following the suspicious rhythm of the young man, one left and one right, up and down, and also ups and downs in a timely and tacit manner.

And the boss himself had a distorted face, emotional emotion, and even clinged to the young man's ear, gritting his teeth and shouting some words of unknown meaning.

It's like venting something.

Vent?

Kevin chuckled inwardly.

This, this, this......

Looking at the two people who were exercising excitedly in the wheelchair, watching the bodies of the teenager and the boss fit together, painful and happy selfless expressions, Kevin's face became more and more pale.

The old man of the shield district told him that for a long time, there were all kinds of girls and women living in the shield district, no matter how good, beautiful, and capable of keeping a family and children, the prestige of the Grevo boss never took a fancy to anyone.

The old man sighed and said to Kevin: That's for a reason.

Cause?

Kevin, who was hairy in his heart, felt that he had just found the reason why the boss was single.

The young poor boy didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he was in a complicated mood, and he subconsciously raised his whip and drove away in the carriage.

But at this moment, the hideous-looking Grivo raised his head.

Eye-to-eye with Kevin in the moonlight.

Kevin was stunned.

Finished.

I found out......

The Boss's Secret......

I will...... I'm going to be killed......

Kevin's screams not only pierced the sky, but also brought Grivo to his senses.

Tails gasped hard, he had given up on dealing with Grivoy - he was probably a madman.

Can't talk.

“...... Boss, Boss, Boss, since I haven't been to the shield area, that's ......" Poor Kevin buried his face in his hands desperately and shouted desperately, "No, no, no, Boss Grivo, I swear I didn't see anything......"

Grivo frowned, first glanced at the prince who was held hostage in his arms, and then turned impatiently to the carriage.

"Kevin!"

The boss of the shield area roared angrily, "Shut up!"

Under the aftermath of Grivo's majesty, Kevin's voice slammed, as if it had been choked in an instant.

"How many years," another voice came slowly from the carriage, containing infinite emotion:

"Old friend. ”

Grivo shook slightly.

The voice......

Tails was also stunned.

That...... Isn't that ......

In the darkness of the night, a wooden cane trembled out of the carriage, followed by two fragile and old legs.

"I'm sorry, it's a little slower than the agreed time," the person who came walked out of the carriage with his figure slumped, and after seeing the mess around him, he subconsciously frowned and covered his nose: "Oh, it seems that you are still doing the old business." ”

Grivo stared blankly, not even noticing that Tails in his arms was no longer struggling.

"What a," Grivo said with his mouth wide open and staring at the visitor in the carriage as if he had seen the dog next door laying eggs:

"Fuck, I'm still wondering if it's an invitation from someone who lacks morality, and it's you. ”

The visitor chuckled: "Very surprised?"

"Cut, you're not dead yet," Grivo snorted softly, with mixed emotions:

"Old crow. ”

Hearing the familiar nickname, Tails struggled to turn his head and see who was coming.

It was an old man with deep wrinkles and a vicissitudes of face.

A bachelor of Dragon's Kiss College with no qualifications, a teacher to Gilbert and Putilla, and a teacher to him and Thelma.

The Old Crow, Merry Hipser.

At this moment, he was standing in the moonlight, smiling and nodding at Tails.

It's him.

In that instant, Tails figured out a lot of things.
