Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Unfortunately, Kronin was even angrier than him, and he rammed his head into the security guard's nose, causing the guard to scream and fall to the ground.

After dealing with the security guard, Kronin dashed into the amusement park without looking back.

Chapter 215 Rhodes Island fights in groups, never asking why!

Upon catching up, Qi Yan and the doctor exchanged a glance.

Qi Yan raised his arms and shouted, "You little thief, how dare you disrespect the elderly and care for the young! Can everyone tolerate this?"

"Let's all chase after him and beat him up! I, the assistant to the mayor of Siesta, have personally decided that everyone's admission is free! Let's all go for it!"

The tourists in line looked at each other, and seeing that even the security guard had fallen down and no one had stopped him, they were suddenly tempted.

Some of the tourists who were knocked aside by Kronen got carried away and jumped over the security guard, cheering as they successfully evaded paying their tickets on the spot.

With one person taking the lead, the rest of the group were manipulated by herd mentality, jumping over the security guard and rushing into the amusement park before quickly fleeing the scene.

Qi Yan and the doctor mingled in the crowd, rushed into the amusement park, searched left and right, locked onto Kronin's back, and continued their pursuit.

Many well-meaning people followed from behind. Although they might not actually help, they certainly wouldn't fall behind in watching the show.

While fleeing for his life, Kronin glanced back and was terrified to see that Qi Yan and the other man had somehow gathered so many people.

"Help! Bodyguards! Where are all the bodyguards?!"

The heart-wrenching cries for help echoed through the amusement park, but were drowned out by the shouts of tourists on the various thrilling rides, failing to cause much of a stir.

By the time Kronin reached the music festival performance venue, he was so exhausted that his vision was blurring and he couldn't even speak.

The bodyguards at the scene were all startled when they saw Kronin.

This was the first time they had ever seen Kronin, who was usually extremely particular about his appearance, in such a disheveled state.

"Mr. Kronin, what's wrong with you?"

The bodyguard captain rushed forward to help Kronin up.

Kronin, however, was furious. He shook off the bodyguard captain's hand, pointed at Qi Yan and the others who were catching up behind him, and said breathlessly:

“Bloody…Bloody…they…”

"Give them a hug?"

The bodyguard captain was immediately stunned.

What's this new way to play?

"They're thugs!" Kronin shouted hoarsely. "Protect me, kill them!"

The bodyguard captain reacted immediately, his expression turning solemn. He called his men to protect Kronin behind him.

Seeing that the other party had found help, Qi Yan and the doctor quickly stopped in their tracks.

The tourists who had been watching the spectacle behind them scattered instantly, afraid that if they were too slow, they would be mistaken for part of the same group.

Kronin took a few deep breaths, and looking at the scene where the situation had reversed, a ferocious smile returned to his face.

"Chase them! Aren't you all so powerful?" he shouted. "The tide has turned! Let's see if you can outrun my bodyguards this time!"

Qi Yan and the doctor exchanged a glance, their expressions both somewhat strange.

"Are you sure you've reversed it?"

Qi Yan spread his arms wide, his smile growing even more arrogant: "Hey everyone who came to the music festival, stop watching the show, come out and fight!"

A large number of Rhodes Island operators emerged from the surrounding crowd of tourists, rubbing their hands together, their eyes shining with excitement.

They didn't need to ask what had happened.

Since Qi Yan has already called them, let's just start fighting and stop talking nonsense!

Among the Rhodes Island operators, Red Bean held an electric guitar, her petite body trembling with excitement:

"I can finally go to war with my electric guitar!"

The exciting sound of an electric guitar erupted, and Hongdou began her guitar solo in front of everyone.

With the background music of Red Bean as their theme, the Rhodes Island operators charged towards the bodyguards with wild shouts and screams, as if they had been unleashed.

Kronin's smile froze as he watched helplessly as his absolute advantage was overturned by Qi Yan in the blink of an eye, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat.

Just then, a burst of exciting music suddenly came from the music festival stage, blending with the sound of Red Bean's electric guitar.

On stage, a petite Sarkaz woman appeared, dressed in a simple white t-shirt and black vest, with an LED mask on her face displaying a simple, wicked smile.

"What a lively scene! My blood is boiling, and my inspiration is bursting forth!"

A Sarkaz woman, holding a microphone, exclaimed excitedly: "Your good friend DDD is back to see you again! I announce that, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the music festival is starting early!"

Friends, let's get hyped! Cheers to our electric guitarist, everyone rock out!

Seeing that her favorite musician had actually shown up to cheer for her electric guitar performance, Hongdou's face flushed with excitement, and she played even more energetically.

The atmosphere at the performance venue was instantly ignited.

A huge crowd of tourists quickly gathered, shouting wildly to the rhythm.

The Rhodes Island operators felt as if they had divine assistance, and they roared and screamed like they had been injected with chicken blood, beating the bodyguards so badly that they ran away with their heads in their hands.

In the chaos, Kronin staggered, his vision blurring with anger.

"DDD, I invited you here, what are you doing?!" He turned his head and roared at the stage.

Unfortunately, his voice was instantly drowned out by the sound waves, without causing the slightest ripple.

But it wasn't that no one heard his lament.

Qi Yan and the doctor circled around from the edge of the melee area, blocking Kronin from the front and back.

"You should thank that DJ; it was her appearance that drew the tourists' attention away, making our battle just a background spectacle."

The doctor reached out and grabbed the feather on Kronin's head, a sly grin spreading across his face beneath the mask: "Seeing that DJ appear, I can guess some interesting things are going to happen."

You said the other party's appearance at such an opportune time was a coincidence, or is someone behind the scenes tightly controlling everything that's happening in Siesta right now?

Qi Yan stepped forward and slapped Kronin twice across the face with a backhand and a fronthand strike, then continued the conversation:

"Li Boli was perfectly fine, but he had to resort to scheming and trickery. Now look what he's done to himself. You've been nothing but a clown from beginning to end. You should be sent to be Jesse's cellmate."

Kronin was slapped twice, his glasses were knocked off, and he was stunned for a long time.

His eyes widened in disbelief:

"Impossible. I have eyes and ears everywhere in this city. No one can arrange everything under my surveillance, not even Mayor Herman."

He left Siesta under my watch!

“I did leave Siesta, but I’m back. This city isn’t just your eyes and ears.”

A steady voice pierced through the music and entered Cronin's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Kronin was struck dumb, frozen in place, even forgetting to struggle.

To his astonishment, a dashing middle-aged Liberian man walked leisurely out from behind the stage, hands in his pockets. A black trench coat was casually draped over his shoulders, and his pink hair, the same style as Ceylon's, was combed back. Beautiful blue earrings added to his elegant demeanor.

The doctor released his hand and flicked his fingers, shaking off the feathers from his fingertips.

Seeing this, Qi Yan looked disgusted and waved his hand to blow the feathers away.

Li Boli, who usually cherishes his reputation the most, had no time to pay attention to any of this. His gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man who was walking towards him, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Hermann!"

Kronin spoke each word clearly, his voice seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

Chapter 216 I'll Smash Your Head Crooked

Hermann stared silently at Kronin.

This person was an assistant he had personally promoted and carefully cultivated over the years.

The long-standing rumor circulating within the city hall that he intends to groom Kronen as his successor is not entirely unfounded.

If Ceylon is unable or unwilling to serve as mayor, then Kronen is indeed his first choice.

But it all comes to an end now.

"Kronin, you have disappointed me."

Herman's tone held a hint of regret: "Actually, I discovered the problems within Siesta a long time ago. Even after I ordered a ban on obsidian mining, newly mined obsidian was still circulating in the market."

The mining team appeared at the crater multiple times without my planning, and after the policy of funding the infected was announced, many rumors emerged that they were being treated unfairly.

I kept all these things to myself and suspected many people, but I never imagined it would really be you.

Kronin's face turned ashen.

Seeing his expression, Hermann did not stop his storytelling, but continued unhurriedly:

"In order to find out the truth, I deliberately spread the news that I had left the city, and then returned through my own channels to lie low in the city."

I had intended to use the search for the truth as an opportunity, and also as a test of your ability to stand on your own, but I never expected you to give me such an answer.

Kronin's expression was quite interesting, but he showed no remorse. Instead, he wore a mocking look and sneered:

"Hermann, why bother with this pretense? The methods I use now are all things you taught me."

Profitability, handling, and methods are not important; the result is what matters!

I've worked so hard for you, and the profits I've painstakingly generated from obsidian have been used to subsidize those incurable patients. Given that, I'd rather go all in, destroy your Siesta, and then use the remaining resources and wealth to rebuild my fortune!

A flicker of sorrow crossed Hermann's eyes.

He slowly shook his head and said, "I have done many things, and the methods I have used are certainly not honorable, but I will never gamble with Siesta, nor will I use the lives of innocent people as stepping stones."

Kronin, what do you value life for?

"Enough! Why speak to me like a victor!" Kronin raised his head high. "You only succeeded because these Rhodes Island people suddenly appeared and ruined my plans. Otherwise, I should have been the victor in this contest!"

Herman: "..."

Qi Yan slapped Kronin on the head, knocking his proud head to the side.

"Knowing you've already lost, what are you still babbling about?"

Not satisfied with just saying that, Qi Yan kicked him again, sending Kronin staggering to his knees.

Looking down at Kronin, whose eyes were wide open and who hadn't yet reacted, Qi Yan curled his lip and said:

"Uncle Herman, it's exhausting to listen to cultured people like you talk. To deal with a traitor like this, just slap him across the face until you feel good, and that's it."

I can introduce you to a lady named Saria. You should learn from her; she can lecture you while actually throwing punches, and she subdues a clown with just a few words.

Herman's lips twitched slightly.

Although he was furious at what Kronin had done, he had genuinely admired Kronin before this incident.

So I couldn't help but feel emotional and said a few more words.

Seeing Qi Yan looking over, Herman quickly composed himself, coughed lightly, and changed his words:

"Thank you for your help, young friend. This time, I, Herman, owe you a favor."

"Personal relationships are not important."

Qi Yan walked over with a smile, put his arm around Herman's shoulder and said, "The point is that we made some minor mistakes in Siesta while trying to help you, so just wipe that clean."

Herman looked at the smiling face so close to his face and barely suppressed the urge to throw a punch.

The volcano turned into a snow-capped mountain, a fire broke out in the parking lot of his hotel, the street outside the hotel was burned to a crisp, and he even led a team to storm the city hall and assault people...

Control yourself, don't think about it anymore!

Hermann forced himself to rein in his wandering thoughts and managed a slightly strained smile:

"Of course, you are my daughter's friends, so I naturally won't blame you."

Qi Yan patted Herman's shoulder with satisfaction, then reached out to secretly touch Er Yu, but Herman noticed and naturally dodged away.

Despite failing to pluck the feathers, Qi Yan showed no embarrassment and calmly returned to the doctor's side.

When Qi Yan returned, the professor immediately pulled him aside and whispered:

"Leave the next negotiation to me. Look how easily Herman agreed to you, which means he hasn't reached his limit yet."
