"Wait, what do you mean by [eat] finished?"

Zhe took another look at the store in front of him. It was indeed a tea and milk shop.

"You're talking about this. Bernice said she had finally come to the city and wanted to research what ingredients are used in the drinks there, so she added a portion of every available topping in the store."

Well, it is indeed something that Bernice can do.

Zhe was thinking this in his heart, and soon Coco handed them two cups of recommended tea milk, which also came with a double straw.

Caesar was still a little confused about how this strange-shaped straw was used. Could it be used to drink two drinks at once?

As a result, after Zhe showed her the real usage, Caesar blushed again with shyness.

But after hesitating for a while, he still followed Zhe's advice and chose to try his cup of tea milk.

Chapter 212 Caesar: Should I live in the inner or outer ring road after marriage?

But what Caesar didn't notice was that the end she was drinking from was the one that Zhe had just touched.

Zhe wanted to remind him, after all, if this were the case, then the double straws would be useless, wouldn't they?

But after watching Caesar take a sip with great enjoyment, he decided it would be better to say nothing.

"We've seen the movie and had our drinks, where are we going next?"

Caesar couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming trip, of course mainly because of spending time with Zhe.

The latter said nothing, but took her to the capsule brigade... Ahem, just kidding, it's not the time yet.

Zhe planned to take Caesar for a walk around the neighborhood and buy some things. Although he didn't really like shopping, it was no problem if he was alone.

But just after the two of them made their decision, a sheriff's panicked voice suddenly came from behind.

"Attention pedestrians! Be careful to avoid the fugitive!"

As he heard the voice, Zhe also noticed something. He saw a burly man rushing through the crowd on the opposite side of the street, followed by several sheriffs.

"No, that guy has bad eyes and is a desperado. The people chasing him now are no match for him!"

Caesar, who had lived in the outer ring since childhood, recognized the fugitive's viciousness at a glance. Since she was very helpful, she immediately wanted to chase him.

She turned around and was about to tell Zhe to wait for her here, but found that the latter had followed her.

Yes, I almost forgot, although Zhe looks so thin, he is actually very powerful!

Caesar thought so in his heart, and then he looked at Zhe. Both of them acted without saying a word and quickly caught up with and subdued the fugitive.

Although there was a slight accident in the original plan, Caesar's favorability towards Zhe only increased, especially when the latter rushed in front of her and subdued the gangster in the next step.

There's no need to worry so much, after all, I'm very strong too!

Caesar didn't say these words out loud, and continued to stroll and shop with Zhe in New Eridu. The new things surprised her as she had rarely been to the city.

It was not until the sunset was about to fall from the horizon that the two returned to the video store. Caesar seemed to be still reluctant to leave, and Zhe couldn't help but ask a question when he saw this.

"Has Caesar ever thought about living in the city?"

After all, with the strength of the son of Calydon, it should not be difficult for him to obtain a few citizenships, but Caesar was stunned when he heard it.

"Me? I've never thought about it. Even after coming to the city today, I still feel like I belong to the Outer Ring. It's just..."

What should I do if Zhe and I get married? Should I have him move to the Outer Ring Road? Or... No, no! It's a little too early to think about that now!

Caesar's sudden blushing behavior made Zhe a little confused, until he saw the other party's inner thoughts, then he understood.

"Zhe, it's you, it's been a long time."

After hearing the voice, Zhe turned around and saw that it was Uncle Enzo from the modification shop next door.

The other party was a little worried about the brother and sister because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so when he learned that Zhe had returned, he hurried over to see them.

At this time, Caesar also greeted Enzo and said that Zhe and Ling were being well taken care of by him, and asked him and other neighbors not to worry.

After understanding the situation, Enzo felt relieved. Looking at Zhe and Caesar, he stopped disturbing them and told Zhe to come to the store to find him if he had any problems. Then he left.

"Zhe, is that uncle your neighbor? You two have such a good relationship."

Caesar looked at Uncle Enzo who was leaving and couldn't help but sigh. She had heard before that interpersonal relationships in the city were more indifferent, but it seemed quite humane now.

After all, Liufen Street is full of hidden bigwigs from all walks of life, so it’s normal for them to support each other (just kidding).

Zhe also agreed with Caesar's words. The neighbors in Liufen Street have always been very kind to them, and the latter continued.

"You just asked me if I'd ever considered living in the city... I think it's probably because so many of my closest friends live in the outer ring that I haven't thought about leaving.

So, if I want to truly protect them, this won’t do…”

Caesar looked like he had figured it out, and Zhe nodded seeing that.

"Is Caesar talking about becoming a hegemon?"

“Yeah, that’s right. Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot these past two days. I grew up listening to stories about the Hellfire Ride. It seems like I’ve always wanted to become the Overlord and prove myself to be truly strong.

But for a hegemon, simply being powerful is not enough."

At this point, Caesar couldn't help but mention the current overlord Pompey. Although his subordinates did bad things, he resolved the dispute as soon as he showed up, and also settled the difficulties of the Son of Calydon and Wildfire Town.

In the past six months, negotiations with other regions have been completed. The methods Pompey came up with were something Caesar had never even heard of, let alone thought of.

When the other party put these conditions on the table that day, she didn't understand anything at all, but Lucy immediately understood the benefits of the new route to the old oil well area. It was the latter who told her that made her understand.

And Kasa, who has been busy running around for the livelihood of the town, shouldering all the pressure...

"Compared to them, I seem to be far behind."

Caesar's mentality has grown at this time. She realizes that for a hegemon, there are many things more important than strength.

Zhe felt inexplicably relieved when he saw this.

"Recognizing one's shortcomings is the prerequisite for progress, and Caesar also has many strengths.

When you discovered the goods in the cave, you didn't get angry, but asked Kasa to take them out first.

At that time, we all thought that Kasa had betrayed us, but you still thought of the residents of the town first, worried that the items would be corroded in the void."

Zhe gave an example, but Caesar scratched his head a little embarrassedly, thinking that it was no big deal.

"Haha, everyone should be able to do this, right? After all, compared to my face and my mood, it's more important for everyone to have enough food to eat."

"Ah."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing Zhe suddenly smile, Caesar couldn't help but feel a little confused, but the latter shook his head and then spoke seriously.

"Sure enough, that's how Caesar is, that's why people like him."

"Hmm! You suddenly say something like that..."

Caesar immediately covered his hot and red cheeks with his hands and turned his head away shyly.

This, this is a confession, right? So straightforward, what should I do? How should I respond? Should I agree now? But isn't that a bit too hasty?

Chapter 213 Lucy: You are good at pleasing girls~

While Caesar was hesitating, Zhe also appropriately did not mention the previous topic again, and the two of them acted as if nothing had happened.

Although Caesar felt a little lost at this time, he was not disappointed, because he became more determined to become a qualified overlord.

When the time comes, I will marry Zhefeng home in style!

Caesar thought so in his heart and felt a lot more relaxed. Although there was still a slight blush on his face, he had calmed down.

“Although I’m not smart, I’m like a wild boar. Once I set my goal, I won’t change it. I will try my best to catch up with them.

Besides, I have a group of friends who support me around me, so now I will concentrate on the Hellfire Ride!

Uncle Pompey is a good opponent. This time, I want to fight him in the Hellfire Ride!"

Caesar acted very confident, and that was enough. After all, in Zhe's opinion, being a leader did not require being very strong or very smart.

What is more important is the ability to unite people, which Caesar has and is very good at.

It was almost evening, so the two of them said no more and immediately got on their motorcycles and returned to Wildfire Town.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the old oil well area—

Lucius was reporting the distribution of freight routes to Pompey. Their conversation was not out of place in the camp. What was really out of place was a camera that inexplicably appeared in the corner of the night.

Why do I say that? Because there are no cameras of this style in the outer ring.

No need to guess, her real identity is Fairy, because Zhe is not very reassured about the situation on the Triumphant side, even though Pompey behaves very morally as the overlord.

But this did not affect Zhe's multi-faceted protection, and it was obvious that Fairy was the one he sent to monitor whether the opponent was doing anything tricky.

In other words, as mentioned earlier, there is too little network technology in the outer ring, otherwise why would she need to monitor it personally?

After the conversation in the camp ended, Fairy did not stay any longer. It transformed from a camera into a small plane and quickly returned to Wildfire Town in the night sky.

It was obvious that she did see someone doing something tricky, but this trick was that Lucius put something containing ether into Pompey's water cup.

So after returning, she immediately told Zhe about this, and the latter was surprised.

"I didn't expect that this guy named Lucius, who looks like a decent person, is actually a cruel and ruthless person!"

"Surely, according to Internet jargon, this kind of villain should be called - born!"

Zhe's words elicited a burst of agreement from Fairy, but the former almost choked when she heard it.

"Ahem, Fairy, be obedient and don't learn this kind of internet slang next time."

"Okay, Master, since you've said so, I've added this word to my list of words you absolutely shouldn't use."

Zhe didn't pay much attention to Fairy's antics. After all, his own AI lady was just like that. Although she wasn't just an antics person now, she was also...

Anyway, I asked Fairy to monitor it just in case, but I didn’t expect to get this kind of news. What should I do next?

It is not difficult to conclude from the intelligence collected by Fairy that this guy named Lucius is in collusion with a company in the city, although it is not yet known which company it is.

But their goal is definitely to burn the Crystal Fire Lake. In this case, whether for Caesar or the ordinary people in the old oil well area, Zhe needs to do something.

But how to do it?

Should we go directly to the Triumphal Camp to find Pompey and tell him the news and evidence?

No, since Pompey trusted his subordinates so much, he might not believe the one-sided words of an outsider like me, and Lucius might even bite back at him.

As for simply relying on one's own strength to defeat them all, that's even worse! Wouldn't that be reckless behavior?

After much deliberation, Zhe first had Fairy send the message anonymously to Pompey's personal communication, ensuring that he would see it. As for whether he believed it or not? That was not the issue for now.

Anyway, when the Hellfire Ride comes, I will also enter the cave. If Lucius makes any more moves, I will have to deal with him then.

And at this moment, Lucy suddenly found him.

"Zhe, you did a great job. After Caesar came back from the city, not only did his mood improve, he even acted more energetic than before!"

"This is all thanks to Lucy. If you hadn't persuaded Caesar, how could things have gone so smoothly?"

Zhe did not mention the news he knew. After all, even if he told Lucy about this, it would only make her worry.

"Huh, you're quite good at talking. Isn't that how you make Caesar happy?"

Lucy accidentally told the truth, which made Zhe feel a little sweaty, but the prompt of the former's increased favorability was very different from the verbal expression.

Lucy's favorability increased by 5 points, and the current favorability is 70 points.

……

A few days later, in the old oil well area, the starting point of the Hellfire Cycling Race—

As a female host from the outer ring named Johnny gave explanations on the big screen, the heat of the game reached a climax.

Caesar, Lucy, and Wright were all riding their motorcycles and preparing at the starting point. Zhe had now transformed into Bomb and was sitting in front of Caesar.

On the other side of them were Pompey, Lucius, and Morse, who were also ready.

The former is a challenger who wants to compete for the latter's dominance.

"Uncle Overlord! It's finally the finals. This time I can have a good showdown with you!"

Caesar smiled excitedly, and his hands gripping the motorcycle handles couldn't help but tighten. As for Pompey, he crossed his arms confidently.

"Haha, little girl, you're so arrogant. Then you better try harder and don't bore me too much."
