Collapse: Chasing Fire Studio

Chapter 25

"Thank you for your continued dedication, and let's toast Sakura for joining."

Eden stood up gracefully, a strand of smooth long hair fluttering down from her forehead, willow eyebrows curved like crescent moons, bright eyes like pearls and jade, and two touches of red wine faintly appearing on her pink cheeks, giving a woman an already elegant look. The temperament is even more beautiful.

Everyone got up one after another, drinking or drinking, even Gracie learned it well.

"Thank you everyone! Please take care of me in the future, I will do it first as a respect!"

Sakura is also extremely bold, with a light touch of the lotus root arm, she drank half a glass of white wine in one gulp.

"Where, we are relying on Sakura, we will be a family from now on." With a smile on my face, I drank a cup directly.

"Okay." Kevin also suffocated the wine in the cup, and he was stared at by Mei who was on the side, with a slightly aggrieved expression on Leng Jun's face.

Mei also received an invitation to join the team building together today. She didn't stop Kevin from drinking, but restricted him from talking if he didn't speak, and even if he did, she had to try to answer in a few words.

It's usually fine in private, but on such an important occasion, if Kevin suddenly made a cold joke... Mei thought for a while... Then maybe she wouldn't have to save money to buy a house, and she could dig out three rooms and one living room with her toes in embarrassment. . . . .

The rest of them didn't drink any alcohol, and each drank the drinks they had chosen before, which can be regarded as "substituting tea for wine".

After the simple entertainment, it was time for everyone to eat and drink, and each chatted about topics of interest.

Patuo quickly snatched a little green dragon's pliers, while I waited on the sidelines. When she got up to grab the second pliers, I grabbed Paduo's pliers and put them in Gracio's bowl...

"Captain!! Borrowing flowers to present Buddha, right?"

Seeing that the remaining tongs were snatched by Kevin and given to Mei to eat, Paduo glared at me angrily, so he obediently picked up a few square pieces of shrimp meat, and then took a few large scallops and placed them on his own plate.Typical eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.

"Sister Patuo, here, let me eat... Gracie doesn't want it anymore... I don't want brother fierce captain..."

Clamping her two little hands between her legs in embarrassment, Gracie's big bright eyes were watery, and she looked so pitiful that even an iron cock like Pa Duo felt distressed.

"No, it's okay... I, I snatched it for Gracie to eat... hh..."

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Pa Duo was also quite embarrassed to be humbled by such a young child.

We are also worth relying on, a mature adult, how could he snatch a child's things!

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect our Paduo to have such a "gentle" side~" I imitated Paduo's tone, and responded with a smile.

"Of course! When we should be generous, don't we?°з°)-?!"

Pa Duo feels a little smug, the captain won't praise us a few times a year for the loss of goods.

"Hh, Pa Duo, it's okay to lie to my brother, just don't fool yourself. It doesn't matter if you cheat me, just let it go. It's okay to believe what you said. It can also give you some comfort, but it's almost enough to deceive you by saying this kind of words. You won't lose a piece of meat if you believe me, but just don't make yourself serious. Fang, wipe away your tears and think about it, who else would believe your words except buddies?"

"...Captain... in front of the children, save us a little face..."

Pa Duo's whole body seemed to have been splashed with cold water, and he was stunned... Silently moved his position away from me for a while, shrunk to the chair, hugged his knees with his arms, and buried his head.

"...Are you really angry?"

"Hmph!" Patuo turned his head away, ignoring me.

"Then do you want more of your lobster meat and scallops? If not, I'll eat it." I made a gesture to grab the dish I just grabbed from the Paduo bowl...

"Ouch!!!"

Suddenly, like an angry kitten, the little girl grabbed my arm and bit her mouth! ! !

"Hiss, why are you still biting???" I took a breath, but I was afraid that I would break Pado's teeth with hard words, so I had no choice but to relax my muscles and let her bite.

"If you bully me again, I'll bite you!!!" Patuo quickly loosened his teeth when he saw that I was in pain, but he felt puzzled, so he clenched his fist with his little hand and hit me again.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, here, let me give you my scallops as well."......

"Hmm... Sister Alicia, the lobster shell is so hard... Gracie, I can't peel it off..."

After fiddling with the prawn claws for a long time, Gracie originally wanted to ask me to help get the lobster meat out, but seeing that I was still coaxing Padu and Cosmo was not there, she had no choice but to turn her eyes to Alicia on the other side for help.

"Oh, I still have to watch Alicia at critical times~"

Although Ellie, Eden and Sakura were chatting about encountering robbers in the supermarket, they still paid part of their attention to Gracie.

She leisurely picked up Gracie's lobster claws from the bowl to her plate, then took a chopstick and stabbed it vertically...

(The lobster shell remains motionless)

"Sister Alicia, why isn't its shell broken?" Gray repaired the knife in time.

"Ahem, no matter how good a girl is, she sometimes misses it! Alicia just made a wrong demonstration..."

Alicia shook her head, her amethyst-like eyes showed a serious look.She took a deep breath first, then put her thumb against the thicker end of the chopsticks, and stabbed hard!

Hey!

The lobster shell remained motionless.

. . . . . .

Da da da da da! ! !

. . . . . . .

Alicia looked at the undamaged lobster shell panting, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and shy blushes appeared on her face.what to do? ?Everyone seems to be looking at me...

"Ellie, let me do it."

Eden smiled, and put the lobster claws on Alicia's plate into his own plate, then pressed the lower part of the lobster claws with one hand, and gracefully picked up a table knife with the other...

"Oh, Eden, you can't do it, imaginary numbers are quantum..."

Click!

A cold light flashed, and Eden stabbed the small joint of the lobster's claw quickly and accurately, then tilted it skillfully at an angle, and pressed the handle of the knife upwards!

The original hard lobster shell collapsed directly, revealing the white meat like mutton fat jade inside.

Smiling and putting the whole peeled lobster claws into Gracie's bowl, Eden also followed Alicia's example and blinked playfully, very cute.

"My dear Eden~~" Hugging one of Eden's arms, Alicia stuck out her tongue like a baby, "I admit it, it's also the first time I opened the pliers, and the captain helped me open it before~"

"Huh? Captain...was it poked with chopsticks?" Eden was a little puzzled, the way the young master of the ship's family opened the pliers was a little out of date.

"No, it's not...he opened it with bare hands...but I'm sure I don't have that much strength..."

"So that's how it is..." Eden nodded thoughtfully. She only saw the captain make a move once, and that was the fight with his father.

At that time, the two fought for nearly a hundred rounds without any temptation, and each shot was a killer move.

Opening a lobster claw with bare hands may be difficult for ordinary people, but for the humanoid monsters of the ship, it is like peeling a candy. ………

"Bao'er, change your position first, I have something to talk to Eden."

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten and chatted in their own small circles, I stood up, walked to Alicia's side, and gently patted the big baby on the shoulder.

"Oh? What are you guys going to talk about??" Alicia hugged Eden's arm vigilantly, as if I would snatch Eden from her.

What seems wrong? ? (⊙?⊙)

"It's about work."

"Okay then~ Since I'm the captain, I'll lend you Eden first~~" Alicia looked at me suspiciously and then at Eden, and finally changed places with me, looking for Pado Played with Gracie.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Eden picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His bright golden pupils were deep and bright, as if they had penetrated the thoughts in my heart.

"Ah Mo said, you ordered a batch of goods in the Deng Kingdom, but was stopped by Qingyun's customs?" My brows were frowned. I knew the forces behind Eden. Even in Huang Kingdom, there were not many organizations that dared to stop her goods.

"Yeah." Eden nodded slightly, as if unwilling to say more on this topic.

"Is it a ship..."

"No." Before I could finish speaking, Eden interrupted me first. She stretched out a soft catkin and gently placed it on the back of my hand, beckoning me to calm down.

"Eden... If so, Ah Mo might not be able to handle it alone."

"Really not." Eden shook his head, "Captain, the ship family is powerful, but it is also aboveboard. This time, there is a shadow of the Illuminati of the Deng Kingdom."

I was stunned, and a gleam of unbearable light flashed in Rumo's eyes.

Gracie and Cosmo are not actually related by blood in the true sense.Gracie is the daughter of Mr. Hen, and Cosmo... is the orphan that Mr. Hen saved when he was on a mission, and he also learned a lot of skills from Mr. Hen.

Gracie's mother died of illness, and her father was a soldier belonging to the Eastern Military Region. He was quite trusted by Eden's father. He was code-named "Scar". He was originally the top three agents of Huang Kingdom. The information about him is basically confidential, and I know very little about him.

But according to Eden, about five years ago...Mr. Hen lost contact with the Eastern Military Region during his mission in Dengguo, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

I'm really scared that Cosmo will be like Mr. Scar...

"But the goods transported this time are just some works of art and wine... there should be nothing particularly precious, but they are actually being targeted by the Illuminati. I'm afraid I've overlooked something."

Eden frowned, not knowing what the lunatics in the Lantern Kingdom were thinking.The purpose of her letting Ah Mo go, one is to find a way to bring the goods back, and the other is to find out what is in this batch of goods that is missed.

"I didn't expect that, although Qingyun has mixed forces due to historical and geographical reasons, it is the territory of Huang Kingdom after all. The Illuminati faction dared to attack Qingyun, it must be too courageous."

"Eden, if there is a problem, remember to tell me as soon as possible."

I nodded slightly. Eden spoke in a very cryptic manner, so it was hard for me to ask too many questions.Although the fleet is powerful, they are concentrated in the north, and Qingyun is located on the southeast coast of the Huang Kingdom, so it can be said that it is beyond reach.

"Captain, don't worry, with Ah Mo's ability, at least he will be safe for himself."

Eden smiled apologetically.Although the captain is very capable, but due to identity issues, his movements have been watched by the higher ups, and it is easy to startle the snake when he goes to Qingyun.In addition, she really didn't want the ship's family to interfere with the affairs of the Eastern Military Region.

Although the sword is sharp, if it is too fierce, it will become a sword and control people.The fleet is too powerful, if they intervene, the incident may be able to end quickly, but it may not be the way she wants. ...

Eden suddenly noticed something, she raised her head and looked at my original position, just in time to meet Alicia's sneaky glance.

The noble woman pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had guessed what Alicia was thinking, she gently retracted the catkin that was originally on the back of my hand.

The pretty face was slightly red, and the big baby quickly turned his head away.He spit out his little tongue.

That's right, I didn't eat the captain's jealousy! ?(?o?o?)?

Chapter 26

After the party, everyone went back to their homes, because Cosmo went to Qingyun for a business trip, so Gracie went home with Ellie and me to rest.

In order to help me dissipate the smell of alcohol, Ellie lowered the car window slightly, and the cool evening breeze hit her face, like a bubbling spring in the mountains, with a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, which made my confused brain sober Quite a lot.

I took a breath of fresh air and slowly sank into the abdomen, and then I stimulated the strength of the abdomen. Under the agitation of the muscles, the sinking fresh air began to rise, and gradually a pebble-sized air bag bulged in the throat, just like the toad skill of Huoyun evil god in the movie "Kung Fu".

I retracted the car window a little more, and opened my lips slightly. The air bag that was originally stagnant in my throat formed a cloudy white air arrow under the action of the air pressure difference, and I spit it out of the window with a strong smell of alcohol.

In this way, most of the original strength of alcohol disappeared.
