Chapter 123 The Drinking Culture of Blue Star

Regarding the note Liang He received, which stated that Thoreau was a bounty hunter, Holder immediately reported it to Hoan.

At that time, he thought Huo An was still in the Tianyao Star Reserve. Little did he know that Huo An had already checked into a hotel and, based on his intelligence, had investigated Thoreau.

“Sorrow is a bounty hunter hired by Valken to capture Liang He. He will definitely still be in contact with the rebels. If you can get close to him and extract some information, it will be more beneficial to our next operation.”

Thoreau always thought he was hiding well, and he also intended to get close to Liang He. It would be better to let Holder take the opportunity to find out information from him, which would not be easily noticed.

Huo An had figured out how to use a calculated plan against him.

"OK, no problem."

Holder was quite adept at getting information out of people, and besides, in his recent interactions with Thoreau, he had discovered that the kid wasn't as clever as him and could be easily manipulated.

"By the way, it seems someone was spying on and following Liang He last night, but by the time I opened the door, they were already gone."

Speaking of this, Holder gets a headache. He feels that as soon as Liang He goes out, he is targeted by various forces, turning him from a lazy bum who just eats and drinks for a living into a bodyguard who has to work hard.

"Ahem, that's me."

Huo An raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly, clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed lightly twice.

"I originally wanted to find you, but I ran into Liang He coming back, so I had to give up and hide. I didn't expect her to still find out."

Speaking of this, Huo An had to praise Liang He's safety awareness and vigilance, which meant he didn't have to worry about her too much.

Moreover, the platinum lion is basically always by her side, which is equivalent to a bodyguard.

Don't be fooled by Cyril's usual tantrums and coquettish behavior. As an SSS-level orc, his combat strength is not low, and even in his evolutionary stage, he should not be underestimated.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Otherwise, the rebels, Elius, and Thoreau alone would already be enough to give him a headache. Adding a person who has vanished without a trace would put him in a very passive position.

"Uncle, if you have nothing else to do, I'll be leaving now. I'm afraid I'll attract attention if I stay too long."

"Okay, be careful and cautious in everything you do."

When Holder arrived, no one noticed; when he left, he left just as quietly.

After he successfully left the floor where Hoan was, he began to think about how to get information out of Thoreau.

This kid has been trying to get information about Liang He out of him, so why not use that against him? He's not exactly a genius anyway.

Unaware that he was about to be outmaneuvered, Thoreau was currently listening to a lecture with Liang He, with a giant light bulb lying next to them.

"Um, why is Cyril coming to class with you today?"

Although Liang He and Cyril became famous after the incident with the elephant herd, and Cyril, as a large beast, was exceptionally allowed to enter the teaching area, Liang He was afraid that he would be bored, so he was basically taken care of by Holder temporarily.

"Hold has something to attend to and it's inconvenient for him to bring Cyril along."

Besides teaching these past few days, Liang He also has to check on the baby elephants and comfort the herd to prevent a repeat of what happened that day.

The Platinum Lion only gets to be with her more at night, but she has to avoid him then to video chat with the Azure Falcon and the others. So, all they can do together is sleep.

So when the Platinum Lion found out that Liang He could stay with him all day, he was overjoyed. Even if it was just listening to boring people and giving boring lectures, he was happy to do so.

"That's it."

Thoreau's eyes flickered, wondering what Holder had done that would prevent him from taking care of the platinum lion.

"If you need any help, Holder, just let me know. Don't hesitate to ask."

Thoreau, who was determined to build a good relationship with Liang He and the others, never expected that a casual remark he made would be used by Holder as a free recruit.

After finally getting through get out of class, Thoreau was about to invite Liang He to dinner when Evelyn and her daughter, who were waiting at the door, intercepted him.

"Liang He, I've booked a seafood feast at Blue Star tonight, shall we eat together?"

Ever since Liang He introduced them to various delicacies from Earth, Evelyn and Beibei have completely abandoned nutritional supplements and eat a variety of different dishes every day. The seafood is air-freighted fresh daily, but the supply is limited, so reservations are required in advance.

Evelyn didn't want to use her privileges too much in front of her daughter, so she obediently waited in line for two days before it was her turn.

"Okay."

Upon hearing about the seafood feast, Liang He's eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed to the restaurant with the platinum giant lion.

When Liang He was in the Tianyao Star Nature Reserve, the Seventh Service Area was mainly grassland, far from the sea, making it difficult to eat seafood.

She felt embarrassed to trouble Huo An and use her position as station chief to make exceptions, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Huh? Liang He..."

Before Thoreau could even say that he also wanted to go, he saw Liang He was about to leave and was about to shout when Holder, who had arrived, covered his mouth.

"Brother, Liang He and the Third Princess are talking about girls' topics, why are you getting involved? Come with me."

Holder ruthlessly dragged Thoreau away to an outdoor restaurant, determined not to give Thoreau any chance to get close to Liang He.

Unable to escape the clutches of the devil, Thoreau had no choice but to obediently eat with Holder.

He comforted himself, thinking that if he could get some information from Holder, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Come on, brother, these are special grilled skewers from Blue Star. Never tried them before? Paired with this wine, they're absolutely delicious. Give them a try!"

In order to complete his task of getting information out of people, Holder specifically searched for ways to build rapport and discovered that Earthlings usually discuss matters over drinks, since people speak the truth when they are drunk.

Thoreau, who was drinking for the first time, was truly captivated. He curiously sniffed it and then cautiously took a sip. The sensation rushed straight to his head.

"Hiss~ha!"

This wine is both awful and delicious, and the more you drink, the more intoxicated you get!

However, Thoreau did not forget his mission and tried to get information out of people whenever he had the chance, but Holder subtly avoided him or changed the subject.

If he couldn't avoid it, Holder would just give a perfunctory answer, figuring that when Thoreau sobered up the next day and asked, he would simply say he had misremembered.

"No, I can't drink anymore."

Halfway through, Thoreau wanted to back out, but Holder forced him to drink by talking about drinking culture.

"Oh, how could I not be able to drink it? Don't you consider me a brother?"

"Come on, buddy, let me toast you!"

"Brother, if you don't drink, you're disrespecting me and showing me no respect!"

Thus, under the barrage of Holder's perfunctory answers, a bite of kebab, and a sip of wine, Thoreau quickly surrendered.

"Ugh, Ho... hiccup! Hold... hiccup! I... can't, I can't drink anymore... hiccup!"

Thoreau, his face flushed and his tongue slurred, kept hiccuping as he waved away Holder's attempts to persuade him to drink more.

It was his first time drinking, and he was forced to drink quite a lot, so he simply couldn't take it anymore.

"Hic! Thoreau, we...aren't we...hic, best brothers?!"

While Thoreau was still dazed and confused, Holder prepared to extract information from him.

"Good brothers? Hiccup... Yes! Yes, yes! We... hiccup! We are good hiccup... brothers!"

Thoreau, who was so drunk he was practically slumped over the table, immediately sat up straight upon hearing the words "good brothers," patting his chest and declaring that they were good brothers.

Not to be missed.

Because they had been drinking for so long, all the other customers at the outdoor restaurant had left, leaving only their table. The waiter told them to pay the bill before leaving get off work, and they could leave as soon as they finished eating, so Holder didn't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping.

"Alright! Since we're good brothers, can you tell me how you plan to kidnap Liang He?"
