Swordsman Returns from Another World
Page 286
Even though he said words of disgust, he still carefully opened the envelope in front of him.
The handwriting did not appear to be Margaret's.
It was another man's handwriting, the notes were bold and vigorous, as if they were written in anger.
"Maenna Linguang."
"The chivalry you pursued was buried under the knight competition, but because of this, it was rooted in the hearts of every new Casimir."
"I know you hate the Business Federation and now Casimir, and you've even become cold and numb because of it."
"But I have a chance... not to be covered in glory or to perform salvation... The family motto of the Linguang family is to not fear hardship and darkness."
"Now I need someone to help me crush the so-called bitter darkness, crush it, and burn it to ashes."
"Are you willing to be a clerk for the rest of your life and let the reputation of Lin Guang be completely buried, or give it a try, even if it means your death?"
"Do you think being a company dog is not a disgrace to Lin Guang's name?"
"I don't think I have the right to look down on you, Maenna Linguang."
"After all, you have protected the Linguang family for so long while wearing the Kuan."
"Now, it's your time to shine. If Casimir has no right to honor you, then let all the suffering people do it."
"I will give you this opportunity and be that insignificant guide."
After reading the letter, Maenna could hardly suppress her expression.
It's nothing but a lie.
It's nothing but the foul-smelling nonsense of young people who have no idea of the dangers of the world.
He is nothing but an idiot who can’t even see Casimir’s current situation clearly!
Anger boiled in Mainna's heart. He even felt that this was an insult. How could an outsider who had never come into contact with the name of Lin Guang judge him in such a tone for everything he had done for this family?
Arrogance, arrogance! Why do you say you represent the suffering, why do you say you want me to shine?
This anger that has been extinguished for twenty years, this life that has made Maenna bow her head, can it be changed with just one word from you?
Mainna held the letter tightly in her hand, her face expressionless but her teeth clenched.
Even the most obtuse Grani could see his rage.
After a long while, Ma Enna took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and whispered: "It's just... an excuse for outsiders to use the name of the Linguang Family to make some profits."
"I have something else to do at the company, so I have to leave first."
After saying these words, he turned around and walked towards the door without paying any attention to the disappointment in Maria's eyes.
He came to the door and put on his leather shoes again. Before leaving, he turned around and looked at Maria.
After hesitating for several times, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "Maria, if you want to try it, go ahead."
"But you can only participate as an independent knight. Do not...disgrace the name of Linguang again."
Although Maria didn't know what was in the letter, there was no doubt that Maena agreed to let her participate in the knight competition. She immediately smiled and nodded, and replied loudly: "Okay, okay! Uncle!"
"I'll do my best!"
Mainna didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked out the door, closing it behind her.
He stopped at the door and didn't rush to move forward. The cell phone in his pocket rang.
He held the letter tightly in one hand, picked up the phone with the other, and answered the call.
A familiar voice came from the phone, bossing him around, as if he was being treated like a mule.
"Why have you been gone for so long and still not back? You might as well not come this afternoon. I won't consider your company's proposal anymore!"
This kind of life of being ordered around has lasted for twenty years. In order to maintain the family behind him and to maintain the last dignity of the Linguang family, Mayenna has lived with a broken spine for twenty years.
He looked at the letter in his hand and thought.
He should have apologized, explained the situation to the customer on the phone in an apologetic voice, and tried to retain the customer.
Mauna's eyes fell on the letter.
The word "sufferer" made him feel like retching, and disgust for himself suddenly spread over him, overwhelming his remaining anger.
When did I become like this?
Mauna Linguang, it shouldn't be like this.
He responded softly, his voice neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of relief and ease.
"Sorry, I'll go now."
Chapter 553: Poetry Huaiya
Regardless of what happened to Casimir because of Baiyou's letter, let's turn the perspective back to Xiosta.
After having a good intimate time with Kal'tsit, Baiyou looked at the system.
[Current points held: 60]
[You have identified the number of strategy targets: 35]
[Operator Name: Lion Scorpion]
[Favorability: 80%]
[Characteristics: inferiority, timidity, cowardice, desire for recognition, attachment...]
[Possible progress: mouth (original), neck (kiss), chest (kiss), hands (original), legs (original), shame (original)...]
[Points earned: 7]
[Operator Name: W]
[Favorability: 90%]
[Characteristics: foul-mouthed, wild, crazy, lonely, childish...]
[Possible progress: mouth (root), neck (kiss), hand (root), bean (bite), shame (root)...]
[Points earned: 5]
I really didn’t expect that.
W's favorability is even higher than that of Scorpio!
Hehehe, you stinky cockroach, I didn’t expect that you say you hate me, but actually like me so much!
Baiyou couldn't stop laughing while looking at the system.
Kal'tsit had already left as she still had a lot of official business to attend to, but before leaving she said something to comfort Baiyou.
The situation in Xiosta has completely stabilized. If Baiyou wants, Rhodes Island can leave at any time.
In the past few days, Xiosta has successfully signed a cooperation agreement with Rhodes Island. These agreements will build a pharmaceutical factory using geothermal energy on the mountainside destroyed by lava. This pharmaceutical factory will make full use of the area around the volcano that was once ignored in urban development to create a new urban area. Related construction work has been put on the agenda.
Logically speaking, this kind of urban construction project would not be completed so quickly. Even the real mayor Herman was not here. This kind of thing is really...
However, contrary to Baiyou's expectations, after this incident, Ceylon seemed to realize that Xiosta's future was not something that Hermann could judge alone. This eldest lady who had a lot of complaints about her father quickly got into the role and, after overcoming all objections, took control of Xiosta's real power.
Hermann, who was far away on the other side of the inland sea, had already received the news. He did not object to this act of exceeding his authority, and had no further response except for a formal appointment letter.
It seemed as if he was particularly confident in handing over Xiosta's current affairs to Ceylon.
However, this also made Ceylon fall into extremely busy and tedious affairs. In order to help her, Hei also became busy. The two of them almost locked themselves in the city hall and had no time to go out.
But Baiyou has a lot of good wives to help him. Although people like Kal'tsit don't like diplomacy, they are top-notch in domestic affairs. With her help, Baiyou can have a few days of leisure.
Not to mention Jingzhe and others who are good at handling affairs. In the current Rhodes Island, even if Baiyou lets it go and only focuses on diplomacy, it can still operate independently and prosper.
Of course, when Rhode Island sets out, these works should be white glazed and they must be his.
There was only one thing left for Baiyue to enjoy her wonderful vacation.
Shi Huaiya is here.
I never thought that Shi Huaiya would really dare to put aside the affairs of the Guard Bureau and come to Xiosta to celebrate the festival...
When Bai You found Shi Huaiya, she was shopping with Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia.
As the influence of the foehn gradually passed, the temperature in Xiosta dropped a little, so the three of them still wore their original clothes and did not change into summer clothes.
However...Shi Huaiya and Lao Chen's clothes are no different from summer clothes. It can only be said that they have good physiques.
At this time, the three of them were choosing accessories in a small shop on the street. There are many small shops like Xiosta opened by individuals, which make a living by selling accessories with personal characteristics. With the addition of a series of elements such as music and niche, the prices can be raised very high.
However, this amount of money was nothing to Shi Huaiya. She picked and chose, and the small basket in her hand was already filled with a lot of things.
Chen Huijie helplessly reminded him, "You don't need to buy so many. Even if you're giving them to friends, you won't need so many, right?"
"Ha, you and Xingxiong ran away, one as an instructor and the other as a legal resident, leaving me at Longmen." Shi Huaiya shook the key chain in her hand: "Do you know how much pressure I am under now? These are to be distributed to my subordinates, okay!"
Lin Yuxia on the side asked puzzledly: "Uncle Wei hasn't arranged a new helper for you yet?"
"Oh, speaking of this, hehe..." Shi Huaiya smiled: "As for me, I may come to Rhodes Island soon. Governor Wei has selected a few people from his mysterious troops to take over the Guard Bureau."
"Times have changed...Longmen's population is entering a period of rapid growth due to the influx of refugees. Both the Imperial Guard Bureau and Uncle Lin need to change their style."
Lin Yuxia knew about this. Her father was recently sorting out the affairs of the Lower City District and constantly cleaning out those external forces with ulterior motives. Longmen was undergoing a... change.
However, those things have nothing to do with them now and can't help them in any way.
Chen Huijie turned around and wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Baiyou who was standing outside the door and looking into the store with a smile. She frowned slightly, then turned her head away as if sulking.
She still didn't want to get close to Baiyou.
Lin Yuxia noticed Chen Huijie's reaction, turned her head to look outside the door, and smiled after discovering the white glaze.
Baiyou pushed the door open and walked in, raised his hand to his mouth to make a gesture of silence, then slowly walked towards Shi Huaiya who had his back to him.
The huge tiger tail behind Shi Huaiya swayed back and forth. She seemed to be completely unaware of the person walking behind her. She was still humming a little tune while choosing jewelry.
But just when Baiyou wanted to reach out and grab the tiger's tail and rub it, the tiger's tail swung violently and hit Baiyou's chest.
Shi Huaiya turned his head triumphantly, snorted twice, and said, "Want to sneak attack me? It's too early for you, Baiyou!"
"How did you find me?" Bai You was puzzled. When did his skills become so bad?
Shi Huaiya raised a finger and waved it, saying, "Of course it's the smell. Do you really have no sense at all? I can smell your fragrance from five or six meters away."
"Don't underestimate Filin, idiot."
Baiyou was about to speak when Shi Huaiya opened his arms and stepped forward, suddenly hugged Baiyou into his arms, and held her tightly as if no one was around.
Even its tail was wrapped around Baiyou's calf, not wanting him to leave.
Shi Huaiya smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into slits, and whispered: "My great hero, I heard about what you did! It's great!"
"I knew you were the best!"
Bai You couldn't help but smile at this overly straightforward compliment. She raised her hand and gently stroked Shi Huaiya's back, chuckling and responding, "It's nothing... I'm glad you came."
Chapter 554: Shi Huaiya, You Have Changed
Shi Huaiya chuckled, let go of Baiyue, and said proudly: "Hehe, you said you are very happy, is it true?"
"Of course!" Baiyou nodded.
"And you came at the right time. The festival has been extended, and there will be a new performance tonight. We can go to see it together."
Shi Huaiya nodded, looking very excited: "That's great. Oh, by the way, the swimsuit I ordered will be delivered soon. Shall we go swimming together?"
"By the way, I also want to go see the Sunset Band live, you have to accompany me..."
"Also, I heard there's one in Xiosta..."
As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage, not to mention Shi Huaiya's cheerful and straightforward personality. Since she met Bai You, she has not stopped and muttered non-stop, as if she wanted to fill up her short vacation.
Such mumbling did not end until the bill was paid. They came to the street. Shi Huaiya held Baiyou's hand without any hesitation and walked forward. Baiyou carried something in her other hand and followed her obediently.
Lin Yuxia sighed when she saw this. Although she also wanted to stick to Baiyue all the time, looking at Shi Huaiya's excitement, even she felt that she shouldn't disturb her good friend at this time.
Forget it... humph, let the big cat have the white glaze all to himself for a day... no, just the whole afternoon.
Just one afternoon at most!
Chen Huijie frowned, she had not developed any relationship with Baiyou until now, so she still kept her distance from Baiyou. At the same time, a deep sense of separation emerged in her heart.
