[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

"Hello! Nice to meet you, I...my big sister, Umm...often mentions you."

(Hello! It's nice to meet you. I'm... my sister, um... I often mention you.)

You secretly give your younger brother a thumbs up, after all, it's rare to hear him speak such a long sentence in English.

Ghost pursed his lips, his sunglasses concealing his displeasure at being disturbed.

Only after you gently nudged his stomach as a hint did he reach out and shake hands with his younger brother, then give a brief response.

"Me too."

(Me too)

The younger brother, however, looked at his clasped hands and exclaimed in surprise when his gaze fell on the ring finger.

"Is this... my sister's name tattooed on it?"

Although it was in pinyin, he recognized it at a glance, even though he was your servant.

Mentioning this made Ghost much happier, his tone even lifting slightly.

"She said it was my wedding ring."

You stare in surprise, then blush and angrily protest, "I never said anything like that!"

You feel the ghost's gaze almost piercing through its sunglasses, threatening you.

"Hmph? You're not planning to take responsibility?"

You straightened your back and refused his pressure.

Are you kidding me? This is your turf now, how can he possibly control you?

"That depends on your performance. First, put aside your domineering attitude, sir."

You finished speaking with a smile, then took his hand and walked towards the underground parking lot.

"You must be hungry, let's go get something delicious!"

Although meals were provided on the plane, the portions were small and certainly wouldn't last long for someone of Ghost's physique.

But since it's already evening, you can only go for a late-night snack.

But that's perfect, it lets him experience the nightlife of our motherland!

After nearly an hour's drive, you finally arrived at a night market. After checking into your hotel, you randomly picked a restaurant that was crowded.

The restaurant's decor and atmosphere are quite nice. There are several rectangular tables in the small courtyard outside, surrounded by wooden fences and potted plants, making people feel relaxed.

You and your brother each have a menu. He knows your tastes and skillfully orders what you both want to eat.

But you were holding the menu and introducing the dishes to the ghost, and in the end you ordered two non-spicy dishes for him.

What's a late-night snack without alcohol?

So after ordering the food, you flipped to the drinks page and, seeing the wide variety of options, you finally chose a pitcher of specialty fruit wine.

Beer is too mainstream and lacks character, while baijiu (Chinese liquor) isn't suitable for small gatherings like this. Fruit wine, on the other hand, is not only unique but also has a sweet flavor.

Ghosts, on the other hand, like sweet wine.

The clear glasses, filled with vibrant red liquor, are raised in your hands, and then clink together with a crisp sound.

After having a simple meal, the younger brother asked the shopkeeper to bring three dice cups and taught the ghost how to play.

Even the ghost, who had never tried this kind of gameplay before, became interested and started learning seriously.

"Six sixes!"

"Add one more."

"open!"

"drink!"

"No fish allowed!"

Your voices mingled with the shouts from the two tables next to you, accompanied by relaxed and joyful laughter.

Then, several people in police uniforms suddenly entered, scanned the area, and walked towards you.

"Hello, please cooperate with us, we need to conduct an inspection on you."

Bonus Chapter: Simon x You 2

The sudden turn of events startled you for a moment, then you immediately asked:

"Officer, what kind of tests do we need to cooperate with?"

The obviously young man in front of you wanted to laugh when he heard you address him, but he held it back and then said in a serious tone.

"We are from the anti-drug squad. For the safety of the community and you, please cooperate."

When you see his smile, you immediately realize that there's something wrong with how you addressed him.

But you can't be blamed for this, because your upbringing has made you subconsciously call someone "police uncle," which is a respectful term and has nothing to do with age.

The younger brother quickly waved his hands, saying, "Officer, we could never do drugs, my sister is..."

"We'll cooperate!"

You immediately spoke up, interrupting your brother before he could reveal your identity.

After all, revealing one's identity is a minor matter, but using one's identity to influence police actions could have negative consequences.

After you told the ghost what had happened and comforted him a few times, the three of you took turns going into the restaurant's restroom with the small urine test cups.

You were the first to come out, and while the police were checking you, you curiously asked them questions.

"Officer, why are you only checking us?"

Although you don't mind cooperating with their work, the fact that they only checked your table out of so many other tables in the restaurant makes you wonder.

Do you look like bad guys? Or were you reported?

The young police officer was easy to talk to and responded to you with a smile.

"I suspect you because your boyfriend has a very domineering personality, and his dark circles look like he's been smoking."

You tilt your head, initially looking confused, then you understand.

Thinking of Ghost's physique, his large arm tattoos, and the deep eye bags caused by long-term missions and overtime work, he certainly didn't look like a good person.

So when the ghost comes out with a sour face and a small cup, you almost burst out laughing.

"Simon, I never expected you to be suspected because of your appearance. It seems you are only suitable for wearing a mask."

The ghost glanced at you but didn't refute you; instead, it praised you in the same way.

"It's because your country has strong control over this. In Europe, my appearance would be considered that of an honest person."

That made you laugh even harder: "Pfft, hahaha, an honest guy? Are you sure?"

The younger brother chimed in, "It's more like making others behave..."

The next second, a ghostly warning look came over, and the younger brother immediately fell silent, while you coughed twice and tried to defend yourself.

"What we mean is... you are very attractive."

Ultimately, the police's test results came back negative, and since you had already eaten most of the food, you lost the desire to continue.

On the way back to the hotel, the ghost walked ahead, while you and your brother followed behind him.

In my ear, I could hear my younger brother's quiet reproach.

"Sis, why are you so timid in front of him? Where's the skill you usually have in bullying me?!"

You scoffed, "How dare you talk to me like that? Who's the one who's silenced by just one look from him?"

The younger brother was even more indignant: "I didn't want to either! But his eyes were scarier than any of my homeroom teachers. Is this the power of special forces?"

You shrug: "This is already his gentlest side."

Your younger brother puts his arms around your neck and then whispers comforting words in your ear:

"Don't worry, sis. If he dares to bully you, I promise I'll make sure he suffers when he's old!"

Don't ask why we're waiting until we're old; the answer is simply that we can't beat them now.

The ghost walking in front suddenly stopped, then turned around, staring at you with cold eyes.

To be precise, it's staring at the arm draped over your shoulder.

Your younger brother immediately reacted as if he'd been electrocuted, quickly removing his hand from your shoulder!

He muttered under his breath, "Tell him not to be too possessive. I'm your own brother."

You ignored your brother's complaints and simply raised your hand towards the ghost.

The next second, he walks towards you, takes your hand, and leads you forward.

You jokingly tease him, "Why are you still angry? It was clearly you who didn't hold my hand and walked ahead."

He didn't respond, but silently led you back to the hotel.

As soon as he swiped the room key to open the door, he immediately pulled you into his arms!

You were cornered by him between the door and the wall, and his tall figure made you feel surrounded and tense when he looked down at you.

And with your bodies pressed together, the strong muscles and the overly stiff resistance created an ambiguous atmosphere between you, making one's heart race...

"Simon, what do you want to do to me?"

You look up, your breaths mingling in the cramped space, and in this confusing atmosphere, you ask him with a drawn-out laugh.

The ghost slowly lowered its head, its nose touching yours, and spoke in a low, husky voice, slowly and deliberately.

"My dear girl, after being apart for so long, of course I should savor your longing. Let it all, without holding back a single drop, fill me with it..."

You opened your mouth to speak again, but he quickly and accurately blocked your mouth, and then greedily sucked on it!

Beware of falling amidst the soft gurgling sounds, followed by the pitter-patter of water and footprints on the damp carpet.

Amidst the swaying chandelier overhead and the disheveled folds of the bedsheets, there was a passionate and frenzied embrace.

You don't know how many times you've stared wide-eyed, gazing into the distance, expressing your longing until the other person is satisfied before you're satisfied!
