Chapter 17: Interlude on the Train



Jamila suddenly asked, "Excuse me, Commander, what exactly are you doing here?"

I put down the wine glass in my hand and looked at Jamila's sharp eyes. I remembered that Commander Connie said that the Adila Business Alliance had a secret deal with the Ascenders, but I was not sure if it was true?

I couldn't tell Jamila directly, so I had to make up a suitable excuse: "I'm here to investigate whether there is any practical value in the Adidas Business Alliance continuing to cooperate with Sky Garden."

Jamila laughed and said, "Isn't it a bit of an overreaction to ask an elite team that defeated the Ascenders to do such a trivial task?"

His sharp eyes saw through me instantly, but I could only pretend that I was drunk and my speech was unclear, but in fact, the alcohol content of these drinks was very low, and I also noticed a detail.

The three clocks under our feet all started moving as soon as we came in. There are three clocks, and each clock has only one hand. The first clock is the hour hand, the second is the minute hand, and the third is the second hand. I always have a bad feeling.

Suddenly, Li handed me a cup of tea and said, "Commander, have some tea to wake you up."

Then he whispered in my ear, "There are guns under these tablecloths."

I also whispered, "The clock hand is almost at 12, it feels like it has special meaning." It turned out that Li had also noticed that something was wrong.

I drank my tea, took off my coat, held out my hand, and said to Jamila, "The singing in this car is really exciting! Miss Jamila, please do dance with me."

Jamila was stunned for a moment, then she shook my hand and said happily, "It's an honor."

I pulled Jamila onto the stage and glanced at Lucia and the others. They were already on guard. I put my arms around Jamila's waist. Although I'm not very good at dancing, I can keep up with Jamila's rhythm.

Suddenly, Gamila leaned her face against mine and said in a very loving tone, "Commander, are you satisfied with my body?"

This sentence almost made me lose my composure, and I quickly forced myself to calm down: "I don't know what you mean by this?"

Jamila hugged me tightly and said jokingly, "Can't you feel it?"

His whole body was pressed against me, and I seemed to be able to feel the curves of his body, which made me very hot, but when I thought of the safety of the team, reason pulled me back.

I took longer steps: "Ms. Jamila, this is not how you dance."

Jamila: "So that's how it is. I'm so sorry." This woman was really dangerous. I almost couldn't hold it.

At this time, the hour hand pointed to the Roman numeral 12, the music suddenly stopped, and all the nobles present stopped laughing and talking, which lasted for two seconds.

Suddenly, Miss Jamila kicked my vitals with her right leg. Fuck, I was prepared, so I reacted and lifted her legs away.

As a result, his left leg also kicked over, but he underestimated me. I grabbed both of his legs and lifted them up. My hair was actually white?

Then he pressed her to the ground, took out a dagger and put it on her neck. Looking at Sophia who was holding a gun in front, Chang Yu was making an attacking stance beside her. I looked at the nobles below the stage, all pointing their guns at Lucia and the others.

Liv opened the ion wall to protect Lucia and the others, but seeing Jamila being held hostage, they didn't dare to take any action and remained in a stalemate for about a minute.

Jamila whispered to me, "It seems you are very valuable to us as well."

I didn't understand what he meant. Then she shouted, "Put down your weapons, everyone."

Then, from the audience, I heard the sound of weapons being thrown. I looked back and saw that some stupid noble was holding a high-explosive rocket launcher. He was trying to blow the place up! How the hell could he have hidden it?

I looked back at Jamila. “What do you mean?”

Jamila: "This is just a simple test to see if you can help us?"

Me: “You think I can believe you just because you say that.”

Jamila: "I can let you meet the Ascendant, even the one who killed your important friend."

Hearing this, I immediately asked angrily: "Where is he?"

Jamila: "You have to let me go first. Don't worry, this is a mutually beneficial deal." I saw that Sophia and Chang Yu were both disarmed, so I had to slowly let Jamila go.

Jamila straightened her clothes and slowly stood up. Seeing that he really had no intention of attacking, I asked Lucia and the others to stop fighting.

I asked, "What do you want to do?"

Jamila: "Although I may be asking you to make a deal with me, I am actually asking you to help us, the Adilai Business Alliance."
