Chapter 515 Remember to bring a lighter when drinking
Chapter 515 Remember to bring a lighter when drinking
The nights in the village are always much darker than in the city.
Mainna stood in the star-shaped lights, under the night sky, and in front of her she could clearly see the drunken smile of a girl.
"what have you done?"
he asked.
Desiree smiled happily, and recalled with a hint of playfulness and confusion:
"It seems that he 'left' a document that was very unfavorable to Gale Industries at the negotiation site, and because he was drunk, he taught Lawyer Ham some negotiation skills without restraint.
That’s about it.”
Mainna pursed her lips and showed no joy at Desiree's choice.
Unlike Lin Guang, he never thought of becoming a torchbearer who led others forward.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" Marner said solemnly, "After this is over, you will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Great Knight's Territory, and you won't even be able to continue living."
Desiree puffed up her cheeks and lowered her eyebrows and said:
"I'm not planning on going back to the Great Knight Territory for now. I'll just take this as a short vacation for myself, and then... I'll look for a new job."
After she finished speaking, she found that Maena did not respond at all, but just looked at her silently.
Desiree took a breath and explained:
"Don't overthink it. Although I am a lawyer working for Gale Industries, I became a lawyer for 'justice'.
I tell you this just because I hope... I just don't want you to hate me."
"I'm sorry, but I never found you annoying."
Maena turns and leaves.
Desiree stood there in a daze, watching Mainna's back gradually disappearing into the distance.
After walking a distance, Mayenna suddenly stopped and looked back:
"What are you still standing there for? I do have a barely acceptable job that I can recommend to you."
"……it is good!"
Desiree smiled in surprise and ran briskly to catch up with Maina.
"Watch your step."
With Mainna's reminder, the two of them changed from walking one in front and one behind to walking side by side.
Beer is the local specialty of Lei Shi Village, and the pub in the village is undoubtedly the most popular entertainment venue in the area.
Mainna and Desiree pushed open the wooden gate of the tavern and looked around to find that the tavern was full of drinkers, but Mainna still easily locked onto the two guys, one white and one black, in the crowd.
"Tolan, I never dreamed that a scoundrel like you would have the taste to raise fish."
Qi Yan pointed at Tolan's wine glass and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Tolan covered his mouth and stammered and complained:
"What kind of physique do you have? Drinking alcohol is like drinking water. I was wrong. I admit defeat. I will never compete with you in drinking capacity again."
"Zhazha!"
Qi Yan was full of pride. He stepped on the table in front of him and raised his glass high:
"Today I want to drink ten bottles. Anyone present here will be counted as one. Whoever can make me drink will have the entire tavern bill paid by Master Tolan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tavern was filled with cheers, except for Tolan's eyes widening in fear.
Desiree blinked her watery eyes and looked at Qi Yan who was fighting the entire tavern alone, her eyes full of admiration.
Ma Enna pushed through the crowd with a sullen face and came to Qi Yan:
"Stop playing, I have something to ask you."
"My uncle is here. Come on, waiter, serve my uncle a cup...Oh, he doesn't drink, so give him a cup of oolong tea!"
Qi Yan waved his hand and pushed Ma Enna to sit next to him.
Soon, a cup of suspicious yellow liquid was brought to Mainna.
Qi Yan and Ma Enna sat opposite each other, holding a wine glass and announcing the rules:
"One question, one cup of oolong tea."
Maenna: “…”
What kind of weird gameplay is this?
Why did they let him drink tea but acted as if they were going to force him to drink alcohol?
"How did you know about the infected outside the village attacking vehicles entering the city and make arrangements in advance?"
After asking, Mauna raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Desiree wanted to warn but it was too late and she could only cover her eyes in fear.
The next second, Mauna's eyes suddenly widened.
"Don't vomit!"
Tolan had been waiting for this moment, and immediately rushed over and covered Mainna's mouth tightly.
"Um!"
Mainna's face, which had been droopy all these days, showed a vivid and ferocious expression for the first time.
Qi Yan smiled and drank the wine in the glass, smacked his lips and said:
"Gale Industries launched a support plan for the infected, but it was full of traps, causing complaints from the infected. It's normal for one or two riots to occur."
There was anger burning in Mainna's eyes. She pinched Tolan's forearm and pried it apart with force. Her fingers continued to exert force, causing Tolan's expression to become ferocious as well.
He vented his anger on Tolan's arm and asked through gritted teeth:
"The pendant you mentioned before, is that the one?"
Another cup of 'oolong tea' was pushed in front of Mauna.
"What the hell is this thing?!" Mainna looked at the liquid in the cup in front of him as if he was facing a great enemy, as if he was looking at a giant beast.
"This is the third question... Never mind, just consider it a gift." Qi Yan said with a wicked smile, "A little bit of vodka, mixed with a little bit of whiskey, that's all."
Mainna's expression is as wonderful as it can be.
He was a man who could get drunk even by drinking red wine, but now Qi Yan was trying to trick him by mixing two kinds of strong liquor into something else.
But in the end, Mainna accepted her fate and drank the oolong tea in one gulp.
As a burning sensation spread through his mouth, Mauna increased the strength of his fingers again, successfully making Tolan's facial expressions change along with his.
Qi Yan handed Daisy a cocktail with a smile and said leisurely:
"It seems you have guessed it. Yes, the one from Leitania is currently with me."
"No wonder those two seem to attach great importance to Rhodes Island!" Mainna felt that he had completely guessed the truth, "Is this the deal between you?
One last question, what does Chesper want to do?"
After saying that, he was ready to pick up the third cup of oolong tea handed to him by the waiter and drink it.
Qi Yan stretched out his hand to stop Ma Enna, shook his head and said regretfully:
"I'm not sure about this question at the moment. You need to find the answer yourself."
"Is it because of Selina?" Maina asked.
"I personally think it's because of Chesper's inner justice." Qi Yan spread his hands, "He was a ruthless man who reported his family for colluding with foreign enemies. Even after seeing you kill his own people with his own eyes, he didn't hate you.
I don’t think he would fall into despair because of the death of his companions. That was just a trigger. What really made him angry was the numbness of this country and this land.”
Mauna fell silent.
But around him, the lively atmosphere in the pub remained unabated.
Maenna seemed out of place in everything.
"I'm going to find him." Maena stood up suddenly.
"Don't you want to go to Zvonek City to take a look?" Qi Yan asked with a smile.
"No need. I can imagine that even though the North has gone to war with Ursus, there will be no changes here."
Maenna closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I can already see that the scene in Zvonek City is no different from the Great Knight Territory and this tavern.
Merchants ignored the war ban and even more wantonly took all the money. Citizens lived numbly, and the infected were still struggling to survive, unable to see their own future.
You and Toland deliberately hinted at Chesper in front of me, didn't you just want me to meet him?
Why should I look for the truth? I can just go and ask him face to face."
"You're drunk, uncle. You talk more and become impulsive." Qi Yan teased.
"I'm not drunk."
"You've been drunk for years."
