Why it never ends

Chapter 976 Help

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Idrien's mind.

First of all, even if the two really fought, Hesta would not be able to hurt his life. Idrien was very sure of this because Mercury Needle also had its own discipline. And things had already developed to this point. Regardless of whether the opponent was Mercury Needle or not, regardless of whether he could win the fight or not, he should have waved his fist at Hesta to show that he would never be humiliated. This was a matter of dignity.

But before his blood boiled, he suddenly thought of the old Governor Arevalo, and how Hesta was treated as a guest of honor in the Governor's Palace not long ago... Of course he could be furious, but what if he offended the old Governor and caused some irreversible consequences?

But speaking of impact - now, at this moment, so many soldiers in this tavern are looking at him. His every move here today will affect his image and status in the barracks in the future. Isn't the impact not big?

Once the balance of power began to swing, the rage that should have overwhelmed everything immediately dissipated.

In a dilemma, Idrien suddenly lowered his head and laughed: "I say... is this necessary? You see, we are all for the old governor--"

"Pick it up." Hesta said coldly.

Before Idrien could make a move, Lai Lin had already lowered her head to pick up the coins beside her. She quickly put a few scattered bills in her hands and said as she picked them up: "It's okay, I... I can do it myself..."

Ellie, standing by, also came to her senses, as if she had been suddenly whipped. She lowered her head and began to feel for the coins that had rolled to the corner with her sister.

Idrien glanced at his sister who was frantically picking up money, and he slowly searched for the coins on the ground. Soon, he found a silver one-robie coin at his feet. He took a deep breath and picked it up with a serious face.

He was holding the money and was about to hand it to Hesta, but the other person's gaze was very fierce. He moved his throat and looked at the Lailin sisters: "Hey."

Lai Lin raised his head with some trembling.

"Money." Idrien flicked his thumb and threw the coin in the direction of Lai Lin. Lai Lin immediately tried to catch it, but the money in his hand fell to the ground again.

Idrien then walked forward, knelt down, gathered up the coins that had fallen again, picked them up, and put them in Lai Lin's hands.

"Okay!" Idrien stood up.

Hesta folded his arms. "You should also apologize for insulting her just now."

Idrien pursed his lips instantly, and the root of his tongue was dry - at this moment, he was really surprised at his own tolerance. He didn't even have the urge to argue with Hesta. He just felt that at this moment, his face and body were not his own.

"…I just said something that was beyond my control." Idrien looked at the woman in front of him, "I shouldn't have said that to you."

"It's all a misunderstanding..." Lai Lin lowered his eyes, "I understand..."

"Okay," Idrien nodded, "Now that we've talked about it, don't do such immoral things again in the future—"

"Unless you can control your soldiers and stop them from doing whatever they want here," Hesta interrupted Idrian again, "the fine will remain the same, I say."

Idrien glanced at Hesta with hatred: "Nothing else?"

Hesta raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the door, as if to signal Idrien: You can go.

Idrien gave an order, and all the soldiers in the tavern stood up and left. He finally put on his hat and looked sideways at Hesta: "... Madam, you will pay for your actions today."

Hesta remained unmoved, as if he had heard nothing.

Idrien's face was gloomy, and he turned to leave. When he reached the door of the tavern, he suddenly heard Hesta calling him from behind: "Idrien."

Idrien turned around and felt a sharp pain in his jaw. He could almost hear the clear sound of bones being dislocated. Before he could react, he had already crashed into his jeep and then fell heavily to the ground.

The onlookers around exclaimed, and the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to react. "This is what you deserve," Hesta said condescendingly from the steps of the tavern, "You are not allowed to come here in the future."

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Hesta returned to the tavern and closed the door from the inside.

……

Lai Lin and Ellie simply treated the wounds backstage, and when they returned to the tavern hall, Hesta and Rico were still sitting there.

When they saw them coming out, Hesta and Rico stood up.

The two sisters looked a little confused, and then immediately became restrained.

"Are you okay?" Hesta asked.

Lai Linyao shook his head: "...It's no big deal."

"That man is a newly appointed officer transferred from the Third District," Hesta said, "I can't remember exactly what he does, but his rank should be quite high. I think it's probably because of this that none of the soldiers you know dare to help you."

Lai Lin smiled bitterly and sat down opposite Hesta: "Thank you."

"Who are you?" Ellie looked at Hesta with some concern, "Why are you here to help us..."

"I'm Mercury Needle, the new guy assigned by AHgAs to work in District 12," Hesta began to take out documents from his backpack. "I came to see you today because I do have something I want to ask for your help."

Lai Lin frowned slightly: "You say."

"I have a friend who wants to go back to District 3 recently, but there was a problem with the entry procedures," Hesta took out an identity information form, "I asked around for information on what to do, and someone suggested that I try cross-district procurement... I've only been in District 12 for a short time, and I don't know many people, so I wanted to ask you guys - and I just happened to run into this guy causing trouble in your tavern."

Lai Lin took the information sheet: "Zubi Bodudel..."

Ellie was on pins and needles: "Thank you for your help today, but...but this kind of thing——"

"When does your friend plan to leave?" Lai Lin asked.

"The sooner the better," Hesta replied, "If she can leave in an hour, then she can be at the airport in an hour."

Lai Lin laughed: "...That can't be done so quickly."

"Haha, I know, it's just an analogy."

"We are indeed planning to place an order for the third district recently—"

"Sister." Ellie couldn't help but shout.

Lai Lin reached out and held his sister down under the table.

"If she wants to go back with our purchase certificate, then she has to actually help us do some work," Lai Lin said softly, "We are also a small business, and we can't waste a cross-regional approval..."
