Chapter 107: Today, the couple is looking for Fani Valentine...
Today is the day to ask for my salary from that bastard Fanny Valentine.
And the day to find that guy and get information about the saint's remains.
I hope she can live in peace with that guy.
Having prepared for the worst, Mary hugged Diego's waist tightly and said weakly, "Let's go."
Mary and Diego met early this morning. They had planned to split up. She would run to the White House, while Diego rode there.
But this guy, as if afraid that she would run away on her own, insisted on acting with Mary.
However, Mary's riding skills weren't as good as Diego's. In the deserted wilderness, she could ride with confidence, but among the hustle and bustle of people, and the occasional encounter with fellow riders on the road, Mary would never let the tragedy of someone falling off their horse happen to her.
Finally, after many twists and turns, the poor silver bullet was carrying two people, running on the road tirelessly.
"You idiot, I'm really going to have to teach you some riding skills later." Although she couldn't see Diego's face clearly, Mary could already imagine his arrogant expression. "You're afraid to ride a horse in the street. How come I didn't realize you were such a coward before?"
"How can this be considered cowardice? I'm protecting myself and others," Mary said unhappily. She and Diego both lowered their heads to avoid the fruit thrown at them by his fans. "I'm different from you. If I get serious, no matter how skilled you are at riding, you won't be able to catch me."
Diego smiled and greeted the girl, maintaining his carefully crafted public image, but his mouth was spewing venom. "Oh? Really? In a short distance, you might have a little more explosive power than my horse, but if the time goes on, you will never be able to defeat me and Silver Bullet. If you can't enjoy the convenience of riding a horse, what's the difference between you and a primitive person?"
"We haven't even competed yet, what are you so confident about? Let's talk about the facts, okay?" Mary was already in a bad mood because she was going to meet Fani, and now she was even more unhappy because of the argument with Diego.
In order to prevent herself from losing control and throwing Diego off the horse, she kindly chose to rest her head against Diego's thin back and remained silent.
Perhaps feeling Mary's dependence and obedience, Diego hummed a song in a good mood.
They ran towards their destination at a leisurely pace, and finally arrived at the White House, which they had been away from for a long time, around noon.
At this moment, her identity and Diego's identity were immediately switched. Diego, who had just taken the dominant position, now became Mary's little tail.
He followed Mary obediently, watching the soldiers at the door salute Mary respectfully without saying a word. They let the two people in without asking any questions or even checking.
Seeing Mary strolling casually in a place most people would never reach, as if she were just at home, Diego's suppressed jealousy nearly flared up.
Biting his tongue and recalling the past with Mary, Diego managed to control his bad mood.
He, Diego, will definitely be like this in the future!
He was destined to be able to reach a high place, overlooking the human beings who were a group of headless flies, and to hold them in his hands like teasing a flock of pigeons, making them obedient.
Although his thoughts were boiling violently, his eyes were not idle, always paying attention to Mary's movements.
When Mary walked to a gate that was obviously different from other places and full of solemnity, Diego was immediately stopped by two guys outside the gate who were wearing peach pink clothes and had hair that looked a bit like the president's.
"Who are you?" The golden-haired man asked rudely, but they had clearly met before in the desert.
Diego didn't believe that the president's close confidant was a fool who couldn't even remember people.
So... this is the president's order?
Compared with the five assassination attempts, this kind of treatment was so gentle that Diego felt it was a little weird.
He looked at Mary silently, but saw that Mary didn't even knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in.
The two ugly guys in peach pink said nothing, but just closed the door respectfully.
Is Mary's power really that great?
Could it be that even politics can be involved?
Diego had misunderstood Mary. This wasn't the place where they received heads of state and met with senior members of parliament. This was Fani's private area, where he worked daily. Anyone else coming here would have to go through layers of inspection, but since it was Mary, there was no way she would be denied entry.
According to Fanny Valentine, no matter when Mary came, the word "disturb" would not be uttered.
So Mary can come and go freely as she pleases, and no one will stop her.
But this time the situation was beyond Mary's expectations. In addition to Fani himself, there was actually someone else inside.
Perhaps it was the rude sound of her opening the door that caused one of the men, who looked only ordinary, or even unattractive, to shiver in fear due to his nerves being so tense. The girl next to him, on the other hand, remained calm and even took the time to support the man to make him look less embarrassed.
The purpose of Mary's trip was to see the president, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the little girl's face. She was so beautiful that it was impossible to take your eyes off her.
It would be best if this girl didn't meet Scarlett Valentine. Otherwise... she would definitely become extremely disillusioned with the President's wife.
The girl didn't shyly avoid Mary's gaze. Instead, she smiled sweetly, stood up confidently, and bowed to Mary. "Hello, my name is Lucy Steele."
The tall man next to him looked uneasy. He glanced at the president secretly and saw a smile suddenly appear in his calm eyes. He stood up boldly and calmly put Lucy behind him. "Hello, my name is Stephen Steele."
Mary nodded and replied to both of them at the same time: "Hello, my name is Mary."
After saying this, she looked at Fani Valentine who was sitting steadily in the chair, and the meaning was self-evident.
Fani knew what Mary was saying, but he was still happy that he had Mary's full attention.
"You two, go out first." Fani's words made Mr. Steele feel as if he had been pardoned. He took Lucy and bowed devoutly again, then tiptoed out.
After they left, Mary slammed her hands on the table and said, "Money, give me all the money you promised me."
Anyway, Blackmoya must have reported everything in detail, so Mary was too lazy to waste time talking to this guy.
Fani has always been quick and decisive when it comes to giving money, and this is his greatest advantage in Mary's eyes.
Seeing the sturdy suitcase placed on the table, Mary couldn't wait to open it.
The suitcase was filled with banknotes as thick as bricks. Mary had to admit that Fani at this time was not only very pleasing to the eye, but also extremely handsome.
Smiling, she placed the suitcase at her feet and said cheerfully, "About the saints."
"Why did you bring Diego here?" Fani's emotionless words made Mary's smile turn into a mask of slight unease and nonchalance. "Did you place spies around him?"
Fani didn't say anything. When Mary's expression became more nervous, she said slowly, "You always think so badly of me. I just saw him when the couple opened the door and went out."
Although Mary knew she should focus her attention elsewhere, she couldn't help but yell, "You mean, that father and daughter... are actually husband and wife?!"
How old was that child? Eleven? Twelve? That middle-aged man looked like he was almost 50!
Just thinking about this, Mary's stomach began to churn. She almost couldn't control her dagger and was about to chop at the disgusting uncle's forehead!
Sensing Mary's extremely bad mood, Fani guessed what was going on in her mind. He tapped her bent joints with his gloved fingertips and said, "I roughly understand how you feel, but you can't touch that man. He's very useful."
"ha?"
"That guy is the most important key to getting the saint's remains for you."
Her blood ran cold, and Mary tried to see any hint of joking on Fanny Valentine's face, but no, he was serious.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Literally." Fanny Valentine did not rush to explain, but took out a stack of papers and threw them into Mary's arms.
Mary held them up in her hands and involuntarily read the bold words: "Stell·Ball·Run Competition?"
"Yes, take a good look."
Without Fani saying anything, Mary was already attracted by this unprecedented and bizarre competition that exceeded human limits.
Starting from San Diego on the west coast of the United States, and finally arriving in New York... the entire journey is almost 6,000 kilometers...
This, this is crazy!
Mary looked at this challenge that had no chance of success for ordinary people, but she couldn't help but feel interested.
It seems... quite interesting.
The reward it gives is even more crazy, it is 50 million US dollars!
Mary worked for the president for five years and never got a figure like that!
But thinking of the saints' remains, Mary's wandering thoughts were slowly brought back to her senses. Looking at the general route on the map, Mary had an answer in her mind: "You mean, all the saints' remains are hidden along the route of this race."
Fani nodded: "Yes, my Mary, you are very smart."
Without dwelling on Fani's wording, Mary asked, "Why hold such a competition? If you give me a similar map, I can find it myself. Besides, this competition isn't for government officials. There are so many strangers here. What if they get the body?"
"What should I do? That's a good question." Fani folded his hands and tapped his chin, his face showing a childlike cruelty. "But you don't need to worry about these things. You just need to know that I will get the remains and fulfill my promise to you. That's enough."
