Knight Asylum

Chapter 219: Because she met me!

Selvi Tuli, in the top-secret laboratory of the Enoch District, Qiao folded his arms across his chest, crossed his legs, and looked around with an uneasy look on his face.

"I say! When can I move freely?"

Jingtian, who was welding the circuit, pushed his goggles to his forehead and waved his hand helplessly.

"Didn't I tell you that a new official has to do a lot of things when he takes office? Especially since the people in charge now are those arrogant people from the Sage's Tower. We have to keep a low profile now."

"Red has nothing to do with being low-key," Qiao complained.

The fact that the Phantom Demons were wiped out might be a very secretive matter to the outside world, but it was a well-known event in Selve Tullia. After all, Red's actions were quite large, directly razing the St. Louis Cathedral to the ground. Selve Tullia must investigate.

Selvi Turia has the most professional on-site reconnaissance department in the entire [S·L]. After tinkering with the ruins and analyzing them for a long time, as well as checking all the clues around, Selvi Turia came to the conclusion that the phantom demon used the St. Louis Cathedral as its base.

The annihilation of the phantom demons is a good thing for all mankind. After all, the purpose of the phantom demons is to artificially create phantom demons. If the phantom demons are annihilated, the probability of the birth of a phantom demon will drop to the lowest point, which is even lower than the probability of the birth of Orphino.

But what is good for humans does not mean it is good for the kingdom of magic. After all, the meaning of the existence of magicians is to fight against the phantom demons that theoretically only magicians can defeat. Now that the phantom demons are gone, magicians are a group of people with miraculous powers and quite arrogant attitudes.

"Ha... Red is Red, and you are you. Red has the strength to rival those who are qualified in the Ge Group. Even if the Sage Tower hates him to death, it dare not conflict with Red casually." Ida rolled his eyes, pulled down his goggles, and continued to solder the circuit. "With your current strength, going out will only hinder Red, or... do you want to be the opportunity that the Sage Tower thinks can deal with Red?"

The corner of Qiao's eye twitched fiercely, and he uttered an unhappy sound, "What do you know about me?"

Having said that, Qiao knew that Iida was telling the truth.

"That's not important. The most important thing now is whether you want to do something or not," Ida grinned. "You are my trump card to win over Red. If you keep holding the trump card in your hand and can't play it, it's no different from a useless card."

"I won't follow your orders," Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It does seem so~" Ida stopped moving, raised his hand to his neck and twisted it left and right, "To be honest, with Faiz's strength, it's more than enough to deal with ordinary Ophino, but beyond this, it's a bit risky. It would be great if I could get the other two belts."

Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are the other two belts very strong?"

"Very strong. If we can get Delta..." Iida crossed his arms over his chest and turned his chair to face Qiao, shrugging his shoulders. "Even if you mess around a little, nothing will go wrong."

"Enoch Group, is there any news about the remaining two belts?" Qiao was somewhat tempted.

"It will be available soon," Iida smiled meaningfully.

----

In the evening, in the Xingxiu District, Saori Takamizawa sat on a chair in the flower shop with her hands on the edge of the chair and her legs gently swinging. Such childish movements of a girl were inconsistent with her status, but here, no one would make any demands on her movements.

"Ms. Saori..."

"Xiao Xing, just call me Saori. Aren't we friends?" Takamizawa Saori raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears and smiled at Xiao Xing who was holding a kettle.

"That Miss Saori..."

"Yarn! Weave!"

Xiao Xing had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "Saori, it's so late, aren't you going to go back?"

Takamizawa Saori paused and pretended to be sad, "Xiao Xing, don't you welcome me?"

"How could that be - it's just that your husband will be worried," Xiao Xing said helplessly. She was much older than Saori Takamizawa, so she could naturally tell that Saori Takamizawa was acting.

"As for Yilang...I have been living in the company recently."

When she heard the name of her husband, Takamizawa Saori lowered her head and subconsciously gave a bitter smile.

"Did something happen between you two?" Xiao Xing immediately noticed the sadness in Saori Takamizawa's voice and quickly put the kettle aside. She squatted down, reached out and held Saori Takamizawa's right hand, raised her head and stared into Saori Takamizawa's dim eyes.

"tell me."

Takamizawa Saori opened her mouth and shook her head. "Nothing happened between us. Ichiro loves me very much. It's just... there's a big problem with the company. If things go wrong, we will go bankrupt and be in debt."

"How could this happen? Hasn't the Takamizawa Group always had a promising future?" Xiao Xing found it a little unbelievable.

She doesn't really care which company in [S·L] has better prospects and better development, but Takamizawa Saori is her friend, and she hopes that Takamizawa Saori can live happily, so she also learned a little about Takamizawa Group.

Over the past twelve years, the Takamizawa Group had already established itself firmly within [S·L], and it was hard for her to imagine the Takamizawa Group going bankrupt.

"I don't know either. Three or four years ago, Takamizawa Group was fully managed by Itsuki," Takamizawa Saori smiled bitterly, "I believe Itsuki will not do anything reckless. He has always been very family-oriented. I just feel a little uneasy and don't know what I can do to help Itsuki."

"It's okay, it's okay. You've come this far together over the years, and you can continue to be together in the future," Xiao Xing comforted her softly, "This is family, right?"

With Xiaoxing's comfort, Takamizawa Saori felt much more at ease and stopped having wild thoughts.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Xing, how long have we known each other?"

"Five years," Xiao Xing frowned, "What's wrong?"

"No, I'm just a little curious. Xiao Xing, you seem to have always been like this," Takamizawa Saori raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Xing's face, her face full of envy, "You are almost the same age as me, but you don't even have wrinkles. I really envy you."

"Saori, these are just little things that you don't need to worry about. Whether you have wrinkles or not, your husband loves you deeply," Xiaoxing said helplessly.

"No, no, no, I'm just wondering, Xiao Xing, you're so beautiful and have such a great figure, why haven't you got married yet? Isn't there anyone pursuing you?" Takamizawa Saori laughed and gently pulled Xiao Xing's face. "I remember there was a handsome boy, what's his name, Sano, he often came to your flower shop, he liked you at first sight."

"Saori--" Xiao Xing shook her head, "I won't fall in love with Mr. Sano."

"Eh... why?"

"Because Xiao Xing has met someone who is truly right for her."

In front of the flower shop, Baluba raised her hand to push up her sun hat and smiled gently at Xiaoxing and Takamizawa Saori who had different expressions.

"Will you allow me to join your girls' club?"

Chapter 220: It's time for some meaty shocks

"no!"

Xiao Xing stood up without even thinking and refused firmly.

She knew with her toes who the encounter that Baluba was referring to was.

"Eh——why?" Takamizawa Saori grabbed Xiaoxing's arm and shook it gently left and right.

“Because there was no chance encounter at all.”

Xiaoxing felt helpless as she couldn't treat Saori Takamizawa the same way she treated Baluba.

"Really? Then...Xiao Xing, where is your handkerchief?" Baluba leaned against the door frame, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Don't tell me you lost it."

"Xiao Xing, where is your handkerchief?" Takamizawa Saori turned sideways, her face full of curiosity.

Xiao Xing's eyes jumped fiercely, "It's just used where it should be used. There's no special meaning."

"You're really stubborn, Xiao Xing," Baluba smiled understandingly.

“You are distorting the facts!!!”

"The fact...then, what is this?" Baluba said mysteriously, pretending to be surprised and swiped her phone, turning the screen to face Xiao Xing and Takamizawa Saori.

Xiao Xing's pupils shrank sharply, and she pounced on Baluba, trying to snatch the phone from Baluba's hand, but Baluba had expected Xiao Xing to do this, and she easily dodged Xiao Xing by turning sideways, and came to Takamizawa Saori with the graceful movements of a dancer at a feast, raised her left arm and placed it on Takamizawa Saori's shoulder intimately, and handed the phone to Takamizawa Saori with her right hand.

Saori Takamizawa, who was originally nervous because of Baluba's noble aura, immediately widened her eyes after seeing the photo displayed on the mobile phone, held the mobile phone, looked at Xiaoxing, and then looked at the mobile phone again.

"Eh!!!"

In the photos, Xiao Xing, who has never had any close contact with a man, is always alone and is forcefully pushed against the wall by a young man. Not only does Xiao Xing not show any intention of resisting, she even closes her eyes and holds her head up, as if she is ready to be taken advantage of.

And, looking at the background, this is a dressing room somewhere.

Saori Takamizawa instantly thought of a lot of exciting things and was too shy to look at Xiao Xing.

"I didn't expect that you like this kind of tune, Xiao Xing... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

What did you misunderstand?

Xiao Xing felt a tightness in his chest and almost vomited blood.

"Saori, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!" Xiaoxing tried to explain, but any explanation seemed pale in front of this photo. It was obvious that Saori Takamizawa's expression had caught up in her own fantasy world. Xiaoxing had no choice but to yell at Baruba.

"Where on earth did you get this photo?!"

She still remembered that at that time, Baluba had both hands on the curtain and had no time to take pictures.

"I wasn't the only one who saw it," Baluba smiled.

She also put in a little effort to get these photos. Of course, in order to avoid causing unnecessary impact, the original photos have been deleted. The ones she has in her hands are the only ones. Of course, she will not tell this.

Xiao Xing took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Saori, things are not what you think. Reid and I are not the kind of, ahem - that kind of relationship you think!"

Xiao Xing blushed when talking about that kind of relationship, but she immediately suppressed the ripples in her heart and looked serious.

"The misunderstanding has been resolved."

Takamizawa Saori didn't expect Xiao Xing to be so serious. She calmed down a little and felt a little apologetic. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard Baluba's voice.

"Then why didn't you struggle when we misunderstood? At this angle, you could have escaped by just bending down a little, and you didn't ask me for help."

Xiao Xing blinked and then widened her eyes, staring at Baluba whose gaze was wandering with disbelief.

What do you mean by not struggling?

Try being wall-banged by Kuuga who has mastered the ultimate power! Do you think you can escape?

What do you mean I didn't ask you for help?

I begged! But you closed the curtain!!!

Just when Xiaoxing was in a trance, Takamizawa Saori suddenly frowned and pointed at Reid in the photo.

"But this man looks so-so, not trustworthy at all, clumsy, and very self-centered. He doesn't care about your feelings at all, Xiao Xing."

"No! Red is not that kind of person! He is very reliable and trustworthy!"

Xiaoxing didn't expect Takamizawa Saori to comment on Reid in this way. She was a little anxious and wanted to explain, but after finding that Takamizawa Saori was looking at her with an ambiguous expression, Xiaoxing felt numb.

Seeing Xiao Xing's tired and destroyed expression, Takamizawa Saori winked at Xiao Xing mischievously and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

"No, that's not the case..."

Xiao Xing tried to struggle again, but it was too late.

"Well - I feel a lot more relaxed. It's time for me to go home," Takamizawa Saori let out a breath, put her hands on her hips, and nodded with a serious look on her face.

Xiao Xing lowered her head and said, "I'll take you there."

"Good~"

Takamizawa Saori picked up her bag and put it on her back, then skipped out. Xiao Xing followed behind her dejectedly, while Baruba, the instigator of everything, followed behind Xiao Xing with a satisfied smile.

"Xiao Xing - see you tomorrow!"

Takamizawa Saori smiled and waved at Xiaoxing, then turned around and closed the door. Xiaoxing put down her right hand, her smile faded, and she turned to look at Baluba with a melancholy face.

"Why are you doing this? Don't tell me it's for my own good."

"This is... for Red," Baluba sighed deeply.

Xiao Xing raised her eyebrows. Baluba's answer was really beyond her expectations.

"You know his situation, right?" Baluba turned sideways and looked up at the sky. "Now he is a Gurongi who is playing a murder game of unknown content. No one will believe him, and no one is willing to approach him."

Xiao Xing was stunned, recalling how helpless Red was when facing her, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"He is very strong and will not be defeated. Even after what happened, he is still trying to find a way to save others. But he should not have to go through this. Now he is probably racking his brains in some dark and damp alley."

When Baluba said this, Xiaoxing immediately had a picture in her mind, and at the same time she felt a little regretful. She was probably the only person who could accept Red and give him a place to live, but she didn't do that at that time.

"He has helped me a lot. I don't want him to be too tired, but he won't accept my help. The only one who can help him now..." Baluba paused and looked at Xiao Xing, smiling helplessly, "You are the only one left."

Xiao Xing pursed her lips and slumped her shoulders. "You're right. Sorry, I thought you had other intentions..."

"If you don't say that, your friend might remain depressed," Baluba smiled.

"Baruba you...thank you, I understand. I will invite Red next time I see him."

"Thanks--"

Damn it, I can’t laugh, I have to hold it in!

"Then I'll go first. If you encounter any problems, remember to find me."

After saying this, Baluba turned and left. The moment she stepped into the shadows again, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

The most difficult part has been overcome! Now that we are living together, everything else will come naturally!

Just like what I said about the coffee I make being super delicious, this kind of thing cannot be forced, you have to play on the other party's moral values ​​to make them feel that they want to do it, rather than being induced.

In a good mood, Baluba immediately took out her mobile phone and shared her battle situation in the group chat.

Metzler, who was sitting at the desk reading "One Hundred and Eight Positions of Love", immediately picked up his mobile phone and felt a sense of crisis after seeing the content sent by Rose.

Rose's progress is only towards living together, while she has already lived together. She is still ahead in terms of progress, but the relationship between her and Red is stuck at a very delicate point, and it will be difficult to break through for the time being. According to Rose's description, the woman is essentially a carnivore, but she is very suppressed. Once she is liberated, she will definitely make rapid progress.
