Of course, the possibility that Helena MATE is not telling the truth cannot be ruled out.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Bai decided to tell Ajax about his guess and let the other party analyze whether it was a coincidence or a fact. He really couldn't figure it out.
"Let's go in first. It's hard to stand outside. Hey, didn't Cresa come back with you?"
Not seeing Cresa behind Helena, Xia Bai wondered.
"Mr. Kressa had already gone in, just when you were asking me about the stone."
"..."
Well, even though Cresa is a horse runner, he still cherishes his life. Seeing that the Son of Prometheus and the White Eagle Ship Girl have important things to say, he certainly won't stay and seek death.
The more you know, the faster you die.
Kresa said that he understood this principle, so he didn't disturb the two of them and walked quietly into the cafe.
Back to the cafe.
Since everyone was already here, Xia Bai didn't plan to get into any more trouble with the White Eagle's ship girls. He drank the Coke on the table and said, "We still have to go to the Maritime Administration, so I won't bother you any more."
"Don't be so anxious. You can stay a little longer. There aren't many customers in this cafe. I won't disturb you."
Seeing that Xia Bai had already greeted his brothers and was about to leave, St. Louis quickly stood up and spoke politely.
"The misunderstanding has been resolved, and there is no point in staying any longer... Although we are not in a hurry, we must try our best to avoid wasting time."
"Is that so? Then be careful on your way. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. You're welcome."
With a bright smile on his face, St. Louis waved and watched them leave, then he covered his chest and let out a long breath.
It's so uncomfortable to stay with Xia Bai, as if there is a sword of Damocles hanging over my head all the time. I really don't know why those guys in the Sakura Empire would allow such a person to be their commander.
Don’t they feel the pressure of their lives being in danger at any moment?
After letting out the depression in his chest, St. Louis patted the absent-minded Helena and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? You have been restless since you met that man. Do you like him?"
"No...it's just that what he said made me a little concerned. He seemed to be very familiar with me, but we just met for the first time today."
Helena kept twirling her blue hair with her fingers, lowered her head and spoke silently, with complicated emotions in her eyes.
"He got the wrong person, Helena, don't think too much." St. Louis comforted Helena softly, touched her head and continued, "What did he ask you at the door just now? Was he proposing to you?"
"Don't tease me... He just asked me about the black stone."
Facing the teasing of St. Louis, these ship girls no longer feel shy. This is the immunity they have developed from listening to the dirty jokes of the "old White Eagle driver" every day.
This is the true character of St. Louis. He was so reserved and cautious just now simply because he was afraid of Xia Bai and didn't dare to speak carelessly.
"Is it the stone that someone gave you? Why is he asking this... Never mind, there's no point in talking about this now. Let's go back to White Eagle and Enterprise to report on the situation of the Son of Prometheus."
So the three of them packed up their things and hurried out of the door of the cafe. Before St. Louis could take out his car keys, he was stopped by Xia Bai.
"Do you have any extra cars? Can you lend us one?"
Chapter 128 Xia Bai——Rich Woman Limited Edition
In front of the main gate of the Maritime Administration, a cool, streamlined supercar slowly stopped with the roar of its engine, causing the nearby commanders and reservists to shift their gazes to the sports car.
Some people are excited, some frown, some are disdainful, some are full of envy... This is the true nature of life.
"It's so funny, you think you can get a ship girl by driving such an expensive car?"
"You know what, the possibility of McLaren P1 getting a ship girl is higher than ours. This at least shows that he has money. Not every ship girl is willing to accept a poor guy as her commander."
"I would rather not get money from a ship girl who worships money than look down on her."
"Brother, you just entered the school this year, right? Why are you still so naive? This is not a question of whether you worship money or not. Unless someone really likes you, do you think that the ship girl can go out without food, water or supplies? I will be starving if I follow you?"
After being confronted, the man who spoke first blushed, but he could not refute anything and could only lower his head silently. It was cruel, but also true.
The other man who had spoken out to the junior student sighed over this, clasping his hands in front of his chest and staring at the McLaren P1. If he remembered correctly, this car should be the car of the rich woman in White Eagle.
There are many people who share the same idea as him, and only the newbies who have just entered the academy would be jealous of this car. Letting the newbies know the cruelty of the world is what every old hand in the commander school will do.
Because this way they will have fewer competitors for fishing boats, and after the first graders have been fooled a few times, they will also enjoy it when they move up to the second grade, and the cycle will repeat over and over again.
The Commander School in Fulk City takes a total of four years from admission to graduation, and it is also divided into a Ship Girl Learning Branch, which is provided for the Ship Girls who are in the commander reserve.
Moreover, the KanColle will not be given out just by entering the Commander Academy. In addition to the 5 Mind Cubes given at the beginning of school, there will only be 2 Mind Cubes given each time you move up a grade. Finally, 5 Mind Cubes will be given as a graduation gift after you graduate from the fourth grade.
There are a total of 16 mind cubes for you to build by yourself. If they are shipped, congratulations, there will be a beautiful girl growing up with you in your future learning journey. If they are not shipped, it is your own fault, don't blame others.
But with so many people going to school all over the world every year, there are always some who have to go to their grandma's house. They can't build a KanColle with 5 Rubik's Cubes at the beginning of the school year, and they still can't build one by the time they graduate.
Such a commander in reserve is ridiculed as the "Great Chieftain" until he finds ways to own a ship girl, and then he can get rid of this shameful title.
What should they do if they have no money at home and are in a difficult situation? The Maritime Administration next to the college is their best choice.
In addition to the ship girls from other garrisons, there are ship girls from different organizations coming here every day to claim merit materials, or to take on some cleaning tasks.
They do not have their own commanders, or do not want to find commanders, so they formed ship girl organizations, and Azur Lane is the best among them.
Therefore, no matter whether there are currently any students who are KanColle or not, they will come here to try their luck, just in case a KanColle takes a fancy to them. There are many "Great Chiefs" produced every year, but there are also many people who come to the Maritime Administration to change their fate.
There are even people who, apart from normal classes, spend the rest of their time squatting at the gate of the Maritime Administration, hoping that a ship girl will take a fancy to them. It can only be said that the gate of the Maritime Administration shows the disparity of the world.
“It’s out, St. Louis is out!”
"Rich woman, please support me!"
"Aunt Saint, look at me."
Seeing the car door slowly open, the crowd made a loud noise. They shouted at the top of their lungs just to be seen by St. Louis.
However, the next scene surprised them. They saw a black-haired man with an indifferent expression walked down from the McLaren P1. His long, messy hair was tied into a ponytail with a silver hairband. He was wearing a black windbreaker, and his strong body was well coordinated.
Coupled with his ethereal and aloof temperament, the female directors at the scene screamed.
"No, my heart is going to stop, this is so handsome."
"It must feel so safe to be hugged by him. Look at this strong body."
"Iceberg-type cold handsome guy, so rare."
All I can say is that LSP is not limited to men. It will be even more terrifying when women lose their modesty.
The man who got out of the car door was Xia Bai, a plain-looking guy.
The great Miss Fat Dinosaur once said that Xia Bai was very handsome when he was silent and sleeping quietly. He could be considered a handsome man with starry eyebrows and sword-like eyes.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed the fact that he was a fool. His words and actions revealed that he was stupid and gullible, which seriously affected his appearance.
But in the state of Mingjing Zhishui, Xia Bai was unexpectedly attractive. Mingjing Zhishui gave him an ethereal temperament. In order to avoid unnecessary emotions that would trigger the seven deadly sins, he closed his heart to the greatest extent.
The battles he had experienced, big and small, gave him a calm, reliable sense of security. Combined with the clothes chosen for him by St. Louis and a slightly trimmed hairstyle, he now seemed like a different person.
St. Louis walked out of the car door in high heels and walked quickly to Xia Bai's side. He smiled and said, "How is it? My aesthetic taste is good... In fact, you are very good-looking, especially your temperament. You just need to dress up carefully."
Seeing so many people around, Xia Bai frowned and spoke without a trace of emotion.
"I'm not interested in these. Usually Sheffield helps me take care of these... so noisy."
Reaching out to help Xia Bai straighten his collar, St. Louis said proudly: "That's because she doesn't have as good aesthetic taste as me... or she doesn't want others to appreciate your shining points."
The reason why St. Louis dared to act so aggressively was because she was no longer afraid of Xia Bai. After her sports car was requisitioned by the other party, in order to avoid her beloved McLaren P1 from being damaged, she gritted her teeth and volunteered to be the driver, while the others continued to stay in the cafe.
On the way here, St. Louis had already thoroughly understood Xia Bai's character. His indifference and moodiness were just the result of a mental attack.
The other person's true personality is very gentle and easy to talk to. He is the type who will answer whatever you ask. Even if he doesn't say anything, he can just act a little coquettishly as White Eagle's companion.
For example, now, she reached out and held the other person's arm. Xia Bai didn't say anything, but her expression remained cold and unmoved.
"Let's go in quickly. Those people's gazes make me feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, whatever you say is what I am here with you after all."
Speaking in a sweet voice, St. Louis smiled at the people around him, held Xia Bai's arm and walked into the Maritime Administration with him, leaving behind a heartbroken sound.
Aborted! Someone actually picked up the White Eagle's ship girl, and it looks like... she paid for it! ?
Chapter 129 The 'Intimate' Two
"Can you let go now?"
After entering the elevator in the Maritime Administration, Xia Bai tugged at his arm with a very cold tone. If St. Louis hadn't said that there were many people harassing the ship girls here, he wouldn't have pretended to be so close to the other party.
"Hehe~ This is the first time I've met a man who refuses intimacy. Am I not good-looking?"
"Shipgirls are all very attractive, and you are no exception, but my current situation is not suitable for getting too close to women, especially beautiful women."
Unlocking his arms around Xia Bai, St. Louis took a step back and said with a smile, "I'm really curious about what you look like when you're not affected by the spirit. Are you as indifferent as you are now?"
"Believe me, you wouldn't want to see this... Forget about the unnecessary temptations. I've already told you everything you need to know."
"I think I hid my thoughts very well. How did you know I was testing you?"
St. Louis was not embarrassed by Xia Bai's exposure of his little thoughts. Instead, he was very calm and smoothed his hair with his hand.
Just as RX-16 said, Xia Bai's identity as the commander of the Sakura Empire and her relationship with the White Eagles are closer than imagined. St. Louis believes that the other party will not be angry with this small test.
"Your attitude before and after was so different, and you gave so many provocative hints along the way. Plus the expressions on your faces when I came back to borrow your car, it was easy to guess."
"Besides, you have too many cars in your garage, and each one is very expensive. This is completely different from what you said about White Eagle being financially strapped. I think St. Louis, you are so rich that you should not be so poor as to help your companions.
"So White Eagle is definitely not just taking private work on Patton's matter... Maybe you, White Eagle, are cooperating with the military, and you left in such a hurry after seeing us leave. Maybe you were going back to White Eagle to report the situation to the company?"
After blocking out his emotions to the greatest extent, Xia Bailian's thinking became much more agile. With just a little thought, he was able to guess the answer that was closest to the truth from the minor details.
"You guessed it, these are the correct answers..."
With admiration on his face, St. Louis held his chest with one hand and his chin with the other, tilting his head and saying, "Originally I thought you were just a reckless man with nothing but martial power, but now it seems that the Sakura Empire has really got a good hand..."
"Now that you have guessed it all, what are you going to do? Kill me?"
As soon as the words fell, the elevator fell into an eerie silence. Only the slight sound of mechanical operation could be heard. The two of them just stared at each other quietly, one with a smile in his eyes, and the other with cold eyes.
"I'm not interested. No matter what you White Eagles want to do, you can't stop my plan, and you can't kill Barton under my nose."
"In any case, when you cooperate with the military, the so-called 'living with integrity and sincerity' of the enterprise is just empty words."
"You are very confident in your own strength. The people sent by the Enterprise to New York City are not as weak as us."
'Ding--'
The elevator stopped and the automatic door slowly opened.
Xia Bai did not continue the verbal argument with St. Louis. She just looked at her meaningfully and strode out.
Seeing this, St. Louis quickly followed him and hugged his right arm with a sweet smile, without any sign of the tension between the two in the elevator.
One is too lazy to care, the other is happy with it, that's all.
"Look! That's St. Louis of the White Eagle."
"Who is the man Saint Louis is holding? Does anyone know which garrison commander he is?"
"I haven't heard that White Eagle has a commander. Was he fished out alone?"
Seeing St. Louis carrying Xia Bai into the hall, the commanders who came here to handle affairs started to discuss it heatedly.
After all, White Eagle is in the Takors area, and St. Louis and the others are very familiar with her. She often comes to the Maritime Administration to do things. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a rich woman. Not only the reserve commanders, but even many active commanders want to woo her.
Whether she is strong or not is secondary. The main thing is that the rich woman is beautiful and has money. Who doesn't want to be kept by her? If Xia Bai next to St. Louis hadn't had a Sima face that was too scary, they would have rushed up to chat with her long ago.
Looking at the commanders and the ship girls gathered in twos and threes in the office hall pointing at him, Xia Bai said indifferently.
"It seems that St. Louis is quite popular here. Not only the students outside the gate, but even these old hands know you."
"Otherwise, every time I come here to do something, I'm always approached by someone. It's really annoying, especially since today is Monday. I wouldn't come here without you as a shield."
"I don't quite understand why they are so eager to learn about you, a light cruiser girl. Logically speaking, these commanders should all be pursuing powerful ship girls, such as battleships and aircraft carriers."
Pinching the soft flesh on Xia Bai's waist tightly, St. Louis said unhappily, "Heh, you look down on the light cruiser girl, don't you?"
Xia Bai slapped away the other person's hand that was pinching his waist and nodded seriously.
"Yes, I do look down on the combat capability of the light cruiser girl... Well, it seems a bit arrogant, so let me put it another way."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Bai pointed at St. Louis and said word by word: "I just look down on you, St. Louis, and it has nothing to do with other light cruisers."
Such straightforward words made St. Louis very dissatisfied. She knew that she was just a light cruiser, but Xia Bai, you are too contemptuous.
In order to get back at her, she took out a handbag from the ship's space and shook it in front of Xia Bai.
"Do you know how much this is?"
"do not know."
