Chapter 22 A Win-Win Fight

*

The smile on Su Xi's lips was still frozen on her face, but the sharp claws were already in front of her eyes. Her amber pupils suddenly shrank!

She could sense a strange change in her surroundings. The air seemed to freeze suddenly. Leila Asay's movements were like a black-and-white movie slowed down ten times.

slow

Slower

Until she saw the dark light of the claws cut off a strand of slightly curly hair on the right side, and the hairs slowly separated from each other.

She opened her mouth as if to shout something, but nothing came out.

Cold sweat drips down slowly

The thumping of her heart seemed to ring in her ears. It was her own heartbeat.

then--

Several bright blue lights suddenly burst out from the position of 'Xi Guang' on the chest, and a thin blue U-quality shield opened in front of Su Xi.

At this point, the perception of time returns to normal.

Bang! Bang—the shelf next to the medical bed was pulled to the ground, scattered all over the floor, and made a series of noises~

Finally, the half strand of hair that was cut off floated slowly on the ground.

At the same moment, the strong alpha who was watching the show in the corner rushed over to block it. Bang! His two hands firmly blocked Leila's beastly claws! When Leila Asai missed the first attack and wanted to try again, he flipped and pressed with both hands, firmly controlling him.

At the same time, "Boss...Boss...you, you can't...can't kill her..." Asa, who was standing in front of the surveillance camera and had not yet reacted, shouted in fear.

"Calm down!" Pierre urged at the same time. This was a different time, and this omega couldn't be dealt with for the time being.

"Ah! That Leila! This is what happened..." Foxtail Sasaki coughed, and when he saw that the situation was under control, he walked over and explained slowly.

"Let's not talk about this for now, boss. Let me put the instrument on you and try it out. Let you see your current mental growth value..." When talking about his professional expertise, information soldier Asa spoke clearly and fluently!

Leila Asai slowly calmed down. After she came to her senses, her IQ and EQ were back to normal, except that her leopard ears drooped slightly.

Now, of the two disabled people, one was sitting on the hospital bed, stroking his messy blond hair, and the other was leaning on the hospital chair and sighing. Leila and Suxi stared at each other for a while.

Phew——Su Xi laughed.

Then I couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his messy hair.

Pah! It was knocked away by a claw. The force was not strong, and the sharp claw was carefully retracted, but a red streak soon appeared on the back of the girl's white hand. Leila saw it and felt annoyed. For some reason, she blurted out, "I've told you many times, don't touch my hair!"

Hey! He tilted his head in confusion, wondering why he suddenly said that.

This is obviously only the second time we've met, but I feel this strange sense of familiarity! ?

"Oh~" the girl answered slowly, and then said two words "Okay." Then she withdrew her hand obediently and stopped moving.

Oh? She just said "oh"! Didn't she say anything more?

Looking at Su Xi opposite her with a stern face and no smile on her face, Leila widened her eyes!

Stare again!

The leopard ears turned obediently behind the ears and trembled slightly...

I recall the feeling of being touched. It was really, really irresistible! I really want to be touched again...

Realizing what she was thinking?! Leila frowned! A wave of shame and anger surged in her heart... This change in emotion after waking up was too abnormal. Despite the explanation of her trusted partner, Leila Asai kept her face as usual, but her golden eyes gradually darkened.

He pondered.

"In order to consolidate your newly expanded spiritual power level," Foxtail Sasaki came over and pressed his shoulder, interrupting Leila Asai's meditation, "Ms. Su Xi needs to stay in 'Arale' for a while. During this period, Miss Su Xi will be our most distinguished guest. I will temporarily keep the 'Key of Arale'..."

"Shushi?" Leila asked doubtfully. Although Foxtail Sasaki actually handed over the 'Key of Arale' as a bargaining chip, he believed that Foxtail, who was famous for being cunning and never taking losses, must have received enough benefits. The specific details can be asked later. At the moment, he was a little confused about the name change of the mission target.

"No, it's Suxi." The girl smiled and picked up the tablet and wrote a few words "Suxi" in the common language. "Call me by this name before we return to Yindu."

"Your mission and my return date have to be postponed. But for your own good," the girl looked at him, the rich fragrance of white magnolia lingering around his nose, "let's get along well with each other during this period."

After saying that, Su Xi stood up and left, leaving the space for several pirate partners who needed to negotiate.

At present, this is a win-win situation. Su Xi's mind quickly speculated on the subsequent actions and preparations. In this way, Su Xi, who had already negotiated the details with Foxtail Sasaki, happily began her adventure and sightseeing time on the main ship of the interstellar pirate 'Arale'.

The edge of the Alpha system. The first fortress.

Military quarters. Albert's 'lavish' private suite.

The exterior is simple, but the interior is full of secrets. For example, this huge equipment collection cabinet that takes up the entire front wall was secretly converted into a wine cellar by him. The cabinet is filled with fine wines smuggled in from various channels. At this moment, he is proudly showing off his latest collection to Chris.

The various developments of the past 100 days were a complete bummer for Joey Albert. No wonder he had to relax after the Zerg Core incident came to an end. The whole incident had too many ups and downs. After Fitzgerald, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, was captured on the UFO planet, he had to take responsibility for all matters according to the temporary crisis appointment letter. This made Albert, who always leaned on a big tree to enjoy the coolness, feel that he had almost lost his hairline in a short period of time!

Being busy with official business is nothing. As the most prominent member of the top family in the power pyramid of the Human Empire, Albert has a unique psychological state of the privileged class. Whether it is the life and death of the border or the loss of life on the battlefield, he cannot get rid of what Chris calls the "indifference of a noble old man."

For him, only Fitzgerald's personal safety and political value are worth worrying about. Therefore, whether from the perspective of a trusted subordinate or a personal friend, Albert does not want to repeat the psychological journey again. From being forced to open the hatch of the Sun Swallow, the trusted people watched sadly as His Highness drove the Dark Flame mecha to the predicted place of destruction as if he would never return, just to confirm the important signal deciphered on the Zerg battlefield! Just after confirming the correctness of the predicted information and taking back the precious egg intact at a great cost, Albert did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief before receiving a signal of the collapse of the wormhole! He watched helplessly as the mecha Dark Flame was about to be torn in half by the cracks in time and space!

"I never thought that in that dead star field, there really was a worm egg secretly hatched by a worm queen buried!" Albert exclaimed as he shook the ice cubes in the crystal glass!

"Yes... for the next three hundred years of defense!" Chris loosened two buttons, combed his seaweed-like hair with his hands, and let out a long sigh: "All the adventures and sacrifices in this battle are meaningful!"

She thought of her dead comrades, and also... she thought of Alyssa who died in Langxiong, and her mood couldn't help but fall for a moment.

"Cheers~" Albert noticed her expression and raised his glass to her in a teasing manner, "It was thanks to your perfectly fabricated data and your weird report that we were able to delay the report of His Majesty's supervisor! We finally waited for that precious one-way signal from the Sun Devourer! It made my persistence in the fortress base meaningful!"

"What perfect nonsense!" Chris rolled his eyes, and the gloom in his heart was dispelled a little. "The Sun Devourer Core is an archaeological relic of the ancient universe. The unscientific aspects of it can only show that our current knowledge system cannot explain it!"

"Indeed!" Albert shook his head, drinking one cup after another until he was a little tipsy. "When Dark Flame was in danger of being torn apart by the rift in space and time, the warp jump that the Sun Swallow spontaneously activated was really too unscientific! There is no explanation!"

"According to the ancient books about the Sun Devouring Beast handed down by our Zuo family, the Sun Devouring Beast's core has formed a spiritual bond with Your Highness, so it is not surprising that it would spontaneously save the Master in times of crisis!"

Then, Christo saw Albert's distorted expression, "Can legends be taken seriously? Miss, how old are you?" She raised her eyebrows and changed the subject.

"Cheers to you too!" Chris raised his glass, his beautiful black eyes flashing with smiles behind the red wine glass: "It was you who relied on your shameless tricks to completely withstand the pressure from Yindu!"

"Thank you! You are exaggerating me! You must be exaggerating me!" Albert laughed exaggeratedly. He never thought that it was shameful to do whatever he wanted by relying on his family background and various connections. If it were not for Fitz, he would have been just an ordinary noble playboy. But now, he was taken to the battlefield by Fitz, and he had seen the vast territory of the empire and found the meaning of his own playboy!

If people can walk on the bright path, they will not want to wither into an irredeemable scum. Fitz is not only his boss, but also an important friend in his life.

It's just that he was too adrift and had no goals, while the friend he decided to follow was too goal-oriented and could abandon everything irrelevant.

Albert narrowed his eyes and asked Chris under the influence of alcohol: "What happened in the first ten minutes of the ambush counterattack at the interstellar relocation point?"

"All the data about the omega on the Sun Devourer has been revised. I know that in the report you submitted to the Eagle Department, you mentioned 'battle damage to the UFO experiment'... Do you think Yin will believe it?"

"So what if you don't believe it?"

Chris was silent for a moment, thinking about the situation at that time.

When the war started, the UFO woke up and cracked the code, which also triggered K31. There was less than ten seconds to make a decision...

"I understand your Highness's decision. If we block K31, we will lose the advantage on the battlefield. It would be better to send that innocent omega away. He has not yet arrived in Yindu, and it is not clear whether it is the omega designated by your Highness, but he has been attacked so crazily!" Chris's face showed a trace of confusion, "This is not like his style! Too crazy!"

"Haha," Albert sneered, "Not crazy at all! If I were that person's subordinate, I would probably agree that this is the right thing to do!"

"The deadline...is getting closer!" Albert looked out the window with a slightly tipsy face. "That person must have dozens of legitimate children, right? Five of them have successfully undergone gender differentiation! Not to mention the genetically engineered offspring he has hidden."

"The later it is for His Highness to appoint a crown princess, the later it is for him to have legitimate children..." Albert suddenly snorted and laughed, "The greater the possibility of his ascending to the top!"

"In fact, we should be the ones who are anxious! Not Yindu!" Albert said sadly, "Fitz has had a deadpan face since he was young. He has persuaded so many darling omegas to leave! Countless times at social season balls, I wanted to give him a shot of type A aphrodisiac! I also threw an omega who was accidentally in heat into his room, but he knocked him out! What a cruel move!"

The more I talk about it, the more I beat my chest and stamp my feet in pain!

Tsk! Seeing Albert getting more and more drunk, Chris kicked him and said, "What are you talking about! Shut up!"

"Chris," Albert fell on the sofa under her force and turned over lazily, "His Highness has blocked the omega lady's place from me, but I know him, he must have arranged someone secretly!"

"But you must know!" Albert suddenly came closer and asked with narrowed eyes, "right? Chris!"

"Huh~" Chris said nothing. It turned out that he gave up his treasures in order to get her drunk. The real Easter egg was here!

"I won't interfere," he said with a sly smile, "but I can guess that you must have someone protect this precious omega!"

"I have a feeling that if I want to shatter Yindu's delusional dreams, she will definitely be able to play a role in the future!"

"It seems that your Highness's decision is right!" Chris frowned! He thought, it is true that only these noble elders know each other best! It is true that only complete abandonment is the best protection!

"You are a bunch of dirty political animals!" She sighed, raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one breath, "I feel unhappy, come! Let's fight!"

Albert, who was slightly drunk, suddenly sobered up! He recalled the fear of being dominated by the violent Chris in the gravity training room!

"Oh! No!" he tried to struggle!

"Can we be more elegant? Let's use this..." Joey Albert raised the red wine in his collection. The light shone on the transparent bottle. The beautiful jewel-red liquid flashed with moving and delicate light. "How about a strong and weak duel?"

Looking at Chris's increasingly bright eyes, Joey Albert smiled ingratiatingly.

“Isn’t this a win-win situation?”
