Why it never ends

Chapter 1102 Request

At night, Bo Heng returned to the settlement.

On this day, he spent a lot of energy to appease the furious Anarut. He had worked hard to whet Anarut's appetite and got him to travel hundreds of kilometers to Grenoble, but in the end, Anarut was tricked by the imaginary young mercury needle. Bo Heng did not want Anarut to hate Hesta for this, but he also had to express his surprise and anger at Hesta's behavior as a member of the Youth Front.

Therefore, when the day ended, Bo Heng felt like he had returned to land from the sea. He was wet all over and had lost all his strength.

It was already past eight in the evening. Stella and Pakat had gone to bed, and Hesta was chatting with Aji in the yard. Boheng had just sat down when he heard Hesta say, "Aji agreed that I can take the twelve children back this time."

Boheng sat up straight almost immediately and looked at Aji with a confirming look.

"She has already chosen the candidates," Aji replied, "Here is the list, take a look."

Bo Heng opened his mouth slightly, as if he had not yet fully digested Aji's decision - Hesta had just mentioned this to him in the morning, but he never expected that as soon as he arrived here, Aji directly agreed to her request.

"So... you have already taken Jane to visit our training camp this afternoon?" Bo Heng looked at Aji.

"Eunice took her there," Aggie said. "I've been with Ms. Packard all afternoon. I'll talk to you about this in detail later..."

Bo Heng quickly glanced at the people on the list - fortunately, the few children he thought had great potential were not on the list.

"Ha," Bo Heng suddenly laughed, "It really looks like selecting people for Mercury Needle. They're all girls, huh?"

"It has nothing to do with gender," Hesta picked up the water glass, "It's just that there are more women where I live, so it's more convenient to choose a girl."

Bo Heng pursed his lips slightly. Although he had some impression of these girls, they seemed to be relatively marginal in the training camp. If Hesta and the others did not intend to send them back, it seemed difficult for him to call on them to return...

"In addition to these twelve children, I also hope that two young men can go with me," Hesta said, "but Aji said that he must ask you first before deciding whether these two people should go or stay."

"Which two people?" Bo Heng asked.

"Eunice and Gahodole," Hesta answered, "They seem to me to be young people with great potential—"

"Very good." Bo Heng raised his head almost immediately, "Let them go back with you. When will you go back?"

"Tomorrow afternoon." Hesta said, "Something happened at my farm. I have to go back and take a look..."

Boheng looked at Aji, hesitant to speak, Aji laughed softly and threw a cigarette over. The two stood up, touching their cigarettes, and said very naturally that they would leave for a while. Hesta raised his glass to them from a distance, still sitting where he was.

The two men walked about ten or so steps away, and Boheng finally told Aji everything that had happened today. Aji nodded as he listened, as if he was hearing the whole story for the first time.

"...Didn't she tell you these things?"

"No." Aji answered very straightforwardly.

"Then why did you agree to let her take the people away?" Bo Heng was even more surprised. "The last time she came -"

"Oh," Aji glanced at Boheng, "...are you unwilling to do this?"

"Not really, it's just that Jane just mentioned this to me this morning, and she asked me to go to her farm in two days to give her an answer," Bo Heng frowned slightly, "...I was planning to come back and discuss this with you in detail, maybe we can get a higher bargaining chip on this matter -"

"Twelve girls, that's nothing." Aji said, "If you want to build a long-term relationship, don't make it so difficult at the beginning."

"I understand, but..." Bo Heng paused for a moment, "Next time something like this happens, you should at least inform me first..." "You are in Grenobo." Aji raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded, "Don't forget, I didn't agree to Yunis and Jiahoduolei's stay or departure easily."

Bo Heng sighed softly: "Are you going out with Ms. Pacat again tomorrow morning?"

"of course."

"Then I will go talk to Jiahoduolei and Younis tomorrow morning," Boheng said softly, "Although there are only twelve girls, we can't really do nothing."

"give it to you."

……

It was almost eleven o'clock when Hesta got up and went back to the house. As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he saw Ximoya standing in the shadows - she was looking at him quietly without saying a word.

Hesta then remembered that he seemed to have promised her before that he would give her an hour when he was free.

"Ximoya," Hesta took the initiative to speak, "Are you free now?"

"Yes." Ximoya narrowed her eyes. "You finally remembered something now, didn't you?"

Hesta tilted his head slightly: "Where are we going to talk?"

"Your room," Ximoya said, "I see there are many sentinels in the forest outside."

Hesta nodded and led the way.

This time, the room Boheng prepared for her was no longer like the last time, which could accommodate three people at once - Pakat was a light sleeper and occasionally needed night care, so he moved to a room with better soundproofing to live with Stella, while Hesta and Simonya lived in different guest rooms.

"After I go back, I can't act alone anymore, especially to the workstation." Ximoya whispered, "If there is still room on your farm, give me an office."

Hesta was stunned for a moment, then realized the weight of Ximoya's words.

"...Okay." Hesta replied, "If you need to go to the city for something else, I won't let you go alone. There will definitely be at least one combat sequence mercury needle accompanying you."

"Besides, I will not disclose any information about Kendai to you. No matter how she targets you or how you plan to retaliate against her, please don't let me get involved."

Hesta looked at her and suddenly felt that this request was somewhat familiar, but she quickly nodded: "Okay, if there really comes such a day, it will be a matter between Kendai and me, and I won't force you to take sides."

"Third, from now on, I will not participate in any actions against Deep Anchor."

Hesta frowned slightly, walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water.

For a moment, no one spoke, only the rising pitch of the sound of water separated the two of them.

Hesta turned around, with mist rising from the water in his hands.

"From now on, you will not participate in any actions against Deep Anchor," Hesta looked directly into Ximoya's eyes. "Can I understand this sentence as that you did have some involvement with Deep Anchor before?"
