Chapter 237 The Mastermind Became an Accessory
Candela was not angry at Chen's sharp words.
She chuckled and nodded, approvingly: "I look forward to your actions."
Chen didn't reply and just turned and left.
Lin Yuxia and Candela looked at each other deeply, then followed Chen's departing figure.
In the corridor, Lin Yuxia quickened her pace and caught up with Chen:
"So, what are you going to do?"
"I do not know."
There was a lingering sense of powerlessness between Chen's brows, and he subconsciously placed his hand on the Chixiao Sword.
Lin Yuxia noticed her action, pursed her lips slightly, and asked:
"Are you ready to pull it out again? Towards Qi Yan?"
"If necessary, I will."
Chen finally released his hand from the Chixiao Sword, took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "But not now, I still have to participate in the Grand Prix. I will find Qi Yan to confront him. I want to know what he is going to do specifically.
Before that, rashly pulling out the Scarlet Sky Sword will only hurt others and myself, I may need an alternative weapon to keep by my side."
Lin Yuxia shrugged: "Then maybe you can come to me. The men I just recruited may be able to provide you with some help."
Chen turned his head and looked at her, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her.
That kind of look made Lin Yuxia a little unhappy.
Just as Lin Yuxia was about to make a sarcastic remark, Chen spoke first:
“Why are you helping me?
You are the future Rat King of Longmen, you should be used to this kind of thing."
"Are you still upset about that incident in the sewer?"
Lin Yuxia sighed lightly, and then laughed at herself: "Yes, if you just let it go, then you are not Chen Huijie.
I can only tell you that I am not interested in killing people. Everything is just to achieve the goal.
If you feel unhappy, it is your freedom and I have no right to comment, but I don't need you to criticize me. Just as you choose to resist for the justice in your heart, I will also take action for my own ideals.
In this farce of Dosores, you, Chen Huijie, are not necessarily the righteous party. "

"elder brother?"
Rafiela looked at her brother who was walking unsteadily, with some worry on her face, and was ready to go forward to support him.
Ernesto waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.
He shook his dizzy head, gritted his teeth and continued forward:
"That damn Qi Yan dragged us to drink until this time, and even tried to pluck your feathers while drunk. What on earth did he want to do?
I don’t understand, is this crazy behavior a disguise or his true nature?
But now is not the time to dwell on this. I must go home as soon as possible and tell my father about this."
Ernesto paused for a moment, silently looking at the quiet street in front of him. He turned his head and looked at his silly sister:
"Don't go in for now, hide in the dark. If anything happens to my father and me, run away immediately... Where to run to, where to go... I don't know either, you can only rely on yourself to think this time."
Ernesto took a deep, shaky breath.
Rafiela clenched her hand holding the sickle and nodded, "Okay."
She followed Ernesto silently like a clinging little bird:
"I will listen to my brother and not cause any trouble to you and father. As long as you ask me to do something, I will do my best to complete it."
"Ah."
Ernesto nodded, then raised his hand to stop La Fiera from following.
He walked alone on the street, on the last leg of his journey home.
His heartstrings gradually tightened, and the cool evening breeze blowing on his face made his drowsy mind a little clearer. One hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
But he walked all the way to his doorstep without any accidents happening.
Ernesto opened the door and saw his father sitting on the sofa, waiting for his return.
"Where's Rafiela?"
Pancho simply ignored his own son and immediately noticed that his precious daughter was missing.
"Oh, he didn't lie to me."
Ernesto let out a long breath, and the alcohol that he had suppressed before surged up, causing his body to sway. He had to lean on the door frame to steady himself.
Pancho noticed that something was wrong with his son, so he quickly got up and walked over. As soon as he got close, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
"What happened?"
"…We were forced to become accomplices from being the masterminds."
……
……
"Welcome to Dos Solès, to the 8th Dos Solès Ironman Grand Prix, and to myself, your old friend, DDD."
The petite Sarkaz woman stood on the podium, still maintaining her amazing enthusiasm.
Her sudden appearance caused tourists and contestants in Dosores to burst into cheers of surprise.
DDD raised his hands high to welcome the enthusiasm of the fans.
When the noise died down, she spoke again:
“Not long ago, I just left Xiosta and suddenly received an invitation from Dosores. I felt honored, so I rushed here overnight to meet you all.
It was our beloved Mayor Candela who gave us this opportunity to meet.
Before the official start of this Ironman Grand Prix, Mayor Candela is invited to deliver the opening speech! "
There was a roar of applause and cheers.
Candela stood up from the host's seat, turned her head to look at Pancho who was calm beside her, nodded slightly, and then walked up to the podium.
She took the microphone handed to her by DDD, cleared her throat, and said loudly:
“Citizens, tourists, welcome to the city I am proud of, Dosorez!
I can guarantee that this Dos Solaires Ironman Grand Prix will be the best ever, and it will definitely be a grand event that you will never forget for the rest of your lives.
Be happy, laugh, and scream.
This is the paradise I created for all of you!"
Candela's speech instantly aroused everyone's curiosity, and the crowd cheered again.
After finishing her opening speech, Candela returned the microphone to DDD and went back to the organizer's seat, but did not sit down.
She looked at Pancho and chuckled:
"I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll leave this competition to you. Don't let me down, old Pancho."
Pancho stared at Candela expressionlessly without any reply.
Candela was not surprised and turned away gracefully.
On the other hand, DDD has officially started commentating on the schedule of the Ironman Grand Prix:
“This Grand Prix is divided into three stages. The first stage is to search for 20 pieces of red gold in a specified area. As long as you get one piece of red gold, you will be qualified for the next round.
In this process, there is no limit to the means, whether you go looking for it honestly, or rob it, or even buy it directly from others.
We only recognize pure gold, not people!"
DDD briefly introduced the rules of the first stage of the competition, then took out the list and began to introduce the participating teams:
“This competition is full of strong teams. I arrived at Dos Sores last night and was so shocked after watching the video of the game that I almost fell off my chair.
The first team I want to introduce today is a team that is very popular to win the championship...'The captain is talking about' team! "
When Qi Yan heard his team being called, he led his teammates and ran excitedly to the podium.
But the entire team, except himself and the dazed Rafiela, Ernesto and others all lowered their heads, very ashamed of this name.
Qi Yan took the microphone and excitedly announced his team's declaration:
"When I've had enough fun, I'll kill you all!"
