Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Get down."

Rubio skillfully followed Texas' force and fell to the ground. The sight flew over their heads and exploded violently behind them, raising a huge cloud of smoke.

Capone slowly stringed the arrow and asked, "Gambino, is he dead?"

Gambino rushed out from the smoke: "Do I look like I can die so easily? Tsk, I didn't expect to meet the real culprit so soon..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Capone saw that Gambino was fine, so he didn't plan to stay any longer. After all, in the current situation, the opponent's support had already begun to arrive, and continuing to pester would mean a dead end.

"The mission has failed. Let's go now."

Texas looked up in the direction Capone and the others left, feeling a little headache: "There are so many acquaintances here, it's really troublesome..."

"Ahem, ahem..." Leontuso stood up, patted himself, and looked at the smoke gradually dissipating around him. "Have all the people... retreated?"

"Are you okay?" Texas stood up and was about to pat himself on the back, but found that his clothes were spotless and he sighed helplessly.

[The clothes are nice, don't get them dirty. You didn't bring anything to change when you left.]

"You really have to worry about this kind of thing." Texas shook his head helplessly, but he was in a hurry on the day he left, so he thought he didn't bring any change of clothes because of the clothes he wore that day.

And... this young master might not necessarily let him change back into the clothes from Penguin Logistics.

Did Leontuso hear the enemy? He immediately sat down against the wall, unable to hold on. The suppressed pain in his body erupted at this moment, but he still said stubbornly, "No... nothing happened."

Texas rolled his eyes at the wound on Leontuso's body and took out a small blue potion from his clothes: "You are injured, don't move, it's easy to lose blood."

"Drink this first, it works wonders. I've already contacted backup, they'll be here soon."

Leontuso took the potion and looked at the strange color. He thought for a moment before drinking it. "I'm fine, but how could this happen..."

Texas held up his sword, looked around and asked, "How many people knew about today's banquet?"

"You mean..." Leontuso was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted, "Indeed, this kind of organized and large-scale attack cannot be unpremeditated."

"But my identity is now public, so it's not that difficult to find out where I am."

Leontuso touched the scabbed wound, and when he felt his strength restored, he stood up by holding onto the wall: "It's really a good thing, luckily you came in time."

Texas looked at the healed wound and nodded: "By the way, your Minister Karachi is in the hospital now."

Leon Tuso immediately looked at Texas: "What did you say?!"

Rubio also looked at Texas in surprise: "No way?"

Texas looked at the two men and explained, "The car bomb was precisely detonated when the guards were pushing it into the car in Karachi. It was very powerful."

"Karachi and three guards who were closer to him were blown away by the bomb first. Karachi's condition is worse. He fell headfirst when he was blown away. He is now in the hospital."

"But don't worry too much, you should be able to save your life."

When Texas said that, Leontuso immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could save his life, other problems would not be a big deal. However, there was no hope at the moment.

Chapter 224: Backed by the Storm

"Sorry." Texas sighed. He could probably guess how important Karachi was to the young master's plan.

Even if the other party did not die in the car explosion, it was only because Xiyue helped him at the last moment. After all, the minister was not a Waifan.

Facing a car explosion almost at close range, and even an explosion that could directly turn the car into scrap metal, and without any defense, it was good enough that it didn't explode into pieces on the spot. And you still want to go to the hospital alive?

The minister was merely blown away by the explosion, and was sent to the hospital only because he was shocked and his head hit the ground.

Although it is a serious injury, it will be fine after spending a week or two in the hospital.

But no matter what, even if the target of the mission did not die, it was only because of Xiyue's help, and her mission was still considered a failure.

Leontuso waved his hand, seemingly not intending to pursue the matter: "The people who attacked us are undoubtedly the same group of people who killed Minister Karachi. What exactly is their purpose..."

Leontuso sighed after he finished speaking. Although he had just said that as long as they could save their lives, it was obvious that the other party could not help in this situation.

If he couldn't help, from a utilitarian point of view, it would be no different from being dead, and he didn't think the attackers would let Minister Karachi stay safely in the hospital.

While thinking about it, Leontuso touched the wound that had quickly healed after drinking the potion, but he didn't expect that the scab would be rubbed off by just touching it.

"Oh no..." Laleontuso immediately covered the wound on his waist. In this situation where the rain was rising, exposing the wound was not a smart choice. At least he could not lose his combat effectiveness because of such an infection.

That was undoubtedly the worst thing, but when Leontuso covered his hands for a while, he found that there was no feeling of blood on his hands, so he opened his hands and saw the flesh and blood that had grown back on the skin.

"What a strong potion." Leontuso breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like he wouldn't have to go to the hospital specifically because of his injuries. This was a good thing right now.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Texas shook his head. This potion is a regular medicine that Xiyue gives to all Penguin Logistics people. It is powerful and easy to store.

At this moment, many vehicles began to drive in the surrounding streets.

"Support is coming, so soon?" Texas looked at the vehicles coming around, but he still didn't put down the sword in his hand. He had just contacted them not long ago.

Leontuso on the side pulled Texas' arm and stood up: "It's okay, they are from the court, they are friends...oh, no, they are friends."

A Ms. Rupert got off a car. The equipment on her left hand looked like a gauntlet with thorns wrapped around her body. It seemed that even the codex she was carrying had thorn-like decorations.

Leontuso looked at the lady coming down: "Why are you here? There are so many court cars here..."

Lavinia sighed as she looked at Leontuso, whose clothes were torn everywhere and looked very embarrassed. Then she looked at Texas on the side and said, "Bellone invited her here. You should have told me earlier."

Leontuso looked at Lavinia and shook his head, indicating that he would not explain this.

Lavinia frowned as she watched Leontuso's actions, then looked at Texas, who was doing nothing on the side: "Cellinina Texas, as the first eyewitness to the attack on Minister Karachi, is also a suspect."

"Huh?" Texas raised his eyebrows when he was suddenly mentioned, and looked at the judge in front of him with some surprise.

"Now, I'm going to arrest you." Lavinia looked at Texas and took out the handcuffs. "If you resist in any way, it will be regarded as contempt of Syracuse law and you will be punished accordingly."

"Is that so?" Texas did not resist. She understood the judge's eyes. She hung her weapon around her waist and let the other party handcuff her.

"In addition..." Lavinia looked at Leontuso, "My dear officers and family members, Minister Karachi's importance to Volsini is self-evident."

"So the attacks on you will be investigated together with the Karachi case."

Lavinia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I, Lavinia, guarantee with my own reputation that I will do my best to find the murderer and will not show any leniency!"

Texas, who was handcuffed and had nothing to do, raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there would be such a judge in Syracuse. It was really rare.

Why were they handcuffed? Why were they even more uneasy? That's because Texas had gotten used to it when they were at Longmen. Don't underestimate it. Penguin Logistics can violate the law more than 600 times in a month!

[This isn't something to brag about, right? And what the hell is more than 600 times? What on earth did you do? ]

"Don't peek at the screen, Xiyue..." Texas sighed and looked up at the rain in the sky, "Look at what I'm thinking. Is it interesting?"

[Very interesting~] The whisper in my ear seemed to convey a certain sense of pleasure, [And I'm just chatting with you, this doesn't count as providing help. ]

Texas wanted to ask something, but Xiyue said it first, so he could only freeze at the corner of his mouth. Alas, Xiyue's bad taste is sometimes really...

[Oh, by the way, please take care of the kid next to you. His physical condition is not very good. The gift of water flow can only help him relieve his injuries, but it cannot help him relieve fatigue.]

"Hmm...?" Texas frowned and looked at Leontuso beside him.

Leontuso frowned immediately when he heard Lavinia's words: "Are you serious?"

After a moment of silence, Lavinia closed her eyes and nodded: "...Of course."

Leontuso stared at Lavilavinia for a while and then nodded, "...I see, you should also be careful, this is not just about throwing paint..."

A series of events made Leontuso feel a little tired. Perhaps it was the blood loss just now and the cold rain falling from the sky that made him feel a little dizzy.

The next moment after this thought came to his mind, Lai Antusuo felt his feet go soft, and the world turned upside down, followed by a black screen in front of his eyes.

——————Syracuse Wilderness——————

"Yeah, I feel a little itchy..." Xiyue looked at the water curtain and touched her chin, "I'm a little bored..."

"Hey, hey?" The emperor sat on a rock, looking at Xiyue beside him. "You are the one who said you were the trader and the spectator, and now you are the one who said you were bored. Where did you learn to be so short-lived? Can you be an angel?"

"Nothing, I'm just going to go check on the Angel of Power." Xiyue smiled, "And by the way, tell those little guys we didn't find to not get too excited."

"It's a Syracuse movie without any dead people." The emperor thought for a moment and shook his head and complained, "This is not very gangster."

"Not good?" Xiyue shrugged, "A shocking miracle development, isn't it?"

"In the future, don't hang out with Nian. His taste will affect you." The emperor rolled his eyes. "Listen to the classical music I gave you more. That will improve your taste."

"It's been a long time since I last appeared on Rhodes Island." Xiyue spread her hands, "Where can I go to hang out with her? I don't know where I'm going to end up~"

"Xi disappeared some time ago, and I don't know where she went."

"Ha..." The emperor's mouth twitched, "Why? Aren't you worried?"

"I'm worried, what am I worried about?" Xiyue picked up the black tea floating on the side and poured a cup, "With their fighting power, there are not many people in this world who can defeat them."

“Even if something really happens, Xi has my mark on his body, and Nian has the gem I gave him on his body. It doesn’t matter even if Sui wakes up now.”

"Ha, whatever you want." The emperor shrugged, "Take it easy, I suspect they just want to make you a big one, the second son of the Sui family is not honest either."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Xiyue stood up, "Do you want to keep the black tea for me, boss?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go in with you and chat for a while." The emperor waved his hand. After Xiyue left, he was the only one sitting here looking at the water curtain. He felt a little silly. This didn't quite fit in with his plan. He decided to go in and find someone to chat with.

"Our destinations are different, so I'll go first~" Xiyue smiled at the emperor, and before the emperor called her, she took the lead to step into the water curtain and disappeared.

"Xiyue!" The emperor looked at the Western Region disappearing before his eyes and said secretly, "Okay, this guy, but after I enter the city, what should I do?"

So he wanted to pass the time. He was bored, but the emperor didn't know what to do. He glanced at the sparkling glass fragments on the side.

That was the thing Xiyue had used to imprison Zaro's consciousness. It also gave the emperor inspiration about what he should do. Xiyue had vented her anger, but she was not satisfied yet. Although it was hard to say who would win if they fought, he had another way.

——————Syracuse Volsini Prison——————

Texas, lying on the prison bed, looked toward the window beside him. It seemed that a layer of mist had condensed there due to the rainy weather.

"There's no need to worry about me, right?"

"I just came to take a look." The mist on the window gradually floated up, creating an illusory sunset moon. "It seems that the amount is a little too little."

"Forget it, that's it."

"It looks pretty comfortable here." Xiyue looked at Texas who was sitting up, "The environment here is much worse than that in Longmen."

"Because prisons are not used as frequently in Syracuse as they are in Longmen." Texas shrugged, "But what about the Angels of Exiah?"

"Preparing for the opera at the opera house." Xiyue spread her hands, looked at Texas' puzzled expression, and smiled, "I just met with them. They were chatting happily, and they just found out that you are fine."

"They're not planning to look for me, right?" Texas rolled her eyes. She knew what these guys were up to without Xiyue telling her. "What a bunch of heartless guys."

"It's your problem this time." Xiyue flicked Texas's forehead with her finger, but because the body was made of water mist, it broke when her finger just flicked it.

"I'll prepare for the compensation." Texas looked at Xiyue, "Including yours."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it." Xiyue smiled, "Opera, I think I've never heard of it before. I'll record a video for you."

"I..." Texas was about to say something to Xiyue when he found that Qiyue's body began to gradually dissipate. It seemed that she was gone. "She left without even saying goodbye. Who did you learn this habit from?"

"Wait, I'm also seeking revenge for my actions, is Xiyue so petty?"

"Hmm?" Texas heard the sound of something stepping on the ground, "Who?"

Laplande came over from the corridor and looked at Texas: "I brought you some chocolate, do you want some?"

Texas looked at Laplande and sighed, "The prison security in Syracuse is really untrustworthy."

Lappland shrugged. "Actually, compared to other cities, this prison is pretty solid."

Texas sighed slightly, took the chocolate from Lappland and took a bite, frowning as she took another bite, this was the flavor she hated the most.

Laplande looked at the frowning Texas and laughed out loud: "Ha, I thought you would just kick me out."

"It takes a lot more effort to chase you away than to ignore you." Texas lay back on the bed, "and I'm in a good mood now, so it's up to you."

Laplande smiled at the relaxed Texas and said, "You don't really think you can survive until you appear in court or know anything else, do you?"

Texas turned his head and looked at Laplander: "How much does Saluzzo know?"

"I don't know more than you do." Laplande shrugged. "Bellone was originally sure to win, but in order to contain Rossetti, he brought you back from the dragon gate. It can be said that he took precautions before the event happened."

"But, at this juncture, the assassination yesterday happened. It was too coincidental. It was so coincidental that it didn't seem like something any family would do."

Texas tapped his fingers on the bed and sat up again: "So what do you want to say?"

Laplande shook his finger. "It's not about what I say, but what you do. You don't intend to continue to recall every detail of Longmen in this prison until the judge lets you out?"

"Aren't you anxious to get back to Longmen?"

Texas looked at Lapland. "If waiting is part of the journey home, then my patience is not bad."

Laplande looked at Texas with a smile on his face: "But what if that judge might be in danger now?"
