Chapter 1485 Are you brainwashed?
Lewand looked around in confusion. He noticed that the crew members on the ships that had been watching the fun had started to get busy. What was going on? They seemed to be preparing for any emergency.
And she soon found out the answer: Xiao Peng threw the tennis ball up and served it with great force. After hearing the sound of the racket hitting the ball, people couldn't even see the ball before hearing a scream. Valarino on the opposite side of the court fell to the ground holding his stomach.
Seeing this scene, the busy crew members on the Luna suddenly dispersed as if nothing had happened. Bruch, who had been nervous, sighed, "That's it? Seriously, I was so nervous! The boss has finally shown some mercy!"
"Show mercy?" Lewandowski's eyes widened at Bruch's words. Someone had already gone to take care of Vallarino. They lifted Vallarino's clothes, revealing a large, shocking bruise on his abdomen. "You call this showing mercy?"
Bruch nodded and said, "Of course. Otherwise the boss would kill him."
"Kill his life? Tennis?" Lewandowski's eyes widened after hearing this.
Bruch smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't Khedira tell you? We're not the boss's bodyguards, but rather his playmates, drivers, and lackeys... The boss doesn't need our protection at all."
Lewandowski frowned and said, "I've seen Khedira's injuries. I know what happened to you last time."
Bruch spread his hands and said, "Our only role is probably to protect the boss from bullets. In fact, when we calmed down and thought about the last incident, we came to the conclusion that the boss probably doesn't need us to protect him from bullets at all. In the hands of the boss, anything can become a deadly weapon. I would believe you if you said he could kill someone with a piece of paper, let alone a tennis ball!"
Lewandowski shook his head after hearing what Bruch said. "You're exaggerating! I've never understood why, including Khedira, even though they're already assistant coaches at TU Delft, want to retain their roles as Xiao Peng's bodyguards. I told him to stop being Xiao Peng's bodyguard so he could focus on his studies, but he got mad at me and got upset over it. Listening to you now, it seems more like blind worship. Bruch, you're all Germans. Being bodyguards for a Daxia guy in this European land, isn't there any objection? Oh, let me explain. I'm not being racist. I'm just plain curious."
After hearing this, Bruch stared at Lewandowski for a long time, which made Lewandowski feel uneasy.
After a long pause, he said, "Lewandowski, I don't care if you're racist or not, but you really need to stop saying things like that in the future, especially in front of Khedira. You're right about one thing, we all admire the boss."
Lewandowski was about to explain when Bruch waved her hand to interrupt her. "You don't need to explain. In fact, many people have the same idea as you. Even my parents and neighbors have asked me the same question. In their perception, Daxia is a backward and ignorant nation, and we Europeans are the masters of the world. When we first knew we were going to work for the Daxia people, we thought: It's just a job. But what about working with the boss? As time went on, we found that our perception was completely wrong. We are proud from the bottom of our hearts that we have such a boss. For him, we learned Chinese and constantly improved ourselves, just to keep up with the boss. For the sake of your harmonious marriage, don't say such things in the future. Khedira and I have the same idea on this matter."
Lewand was shocked after hearing this and asked, "What did Xiao do to make you like this? Is it because he treated you so well?"
"It was indeed a generous offer that kept us here at the beginning," Bruch did not deny. "But now it has nothing to do with money. Even if the boss didn't pay us, we would still stay with him. Believe me, if you ask Khedira, he would answer you the same and do the same."
"Are you crazy?" Lewandowski's eyes widened. "Could it be that Xiao, the one involved in the 'Cult of the Slant', has brainwashed you?"
Bruch looked at Lewandowski and said, "It's better not to say that in the future. The boss wants to get rid of us all the time. It's us who want to stay with him."
"Ah?" Lewandowski was confused.
Bruch explained, "Our boss keeps saying he hopes we'll each have our own futures. Walter loves dogs, so the boss lets him do what he loves and has given him several purebred German Shepherds to breed. Kassin excels at fighting, so he found him an apprentice, hoping he'd train a world champion and become a champion coach—of course, that plan failed miserably. Take your husband, for example. Just because someone said he had a talent for design, the boss sent him to your school as an assistant coach so he could meet you. This time, he went to America because it was Khedira's dream, not because he wanted to go himself. With a boss like that, why shouldn't we be incredibly grateful and devoted to him?"
Lewand fell silent after hearing this.
Bruch suddenly laughed and said, "It's okay. You're Khedira's wife, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know the boss. The more you get to know the boss, the more impressed you'll be. Of course, I know what you're worried about. You're worried that Khedira will get into danger following the boss, right?"
At this point, Bruch gave a wry smile. "Lewandowski, don't worry about that. We're with the boss. It's not so much that we're protecting him, it's that he's protecting us. I just said that in our perception, the boss can kill with anything, and you said I was exaggerating, but in fact, it's not. Our boss is more powerful than we realize. This ship has a complete gym and sports facilities, but when have you ever seen the boss play with them? It's not that he doesn't like it, but no one dares to play with him! Kasin once played tennis with the boss out of frustration, and was hit by a ball and had to stay in bed for half a month before he could get out. That was Kasin's physique. If that ball had hit Vallarino, he would have been dead! That's why everyone was so nervous just now. Now Vallarino just has a bruise on his stomach—at most, a slight stomachache and a few days of flatulence. That's why everyone dispersed. Just find a few people to carry him back to his room to rest."
Lewandowski thought for a moment and said, "Bruch, why do I think more and more that you are talking about monsters instead of humans?"
Bruch said seriously: "Lewandowski, our boss's appearance is very deceptive, but I can swear to God, at least I don't believe there is a man on this planet who is more powerful than the boss."
"Does this also include the many girls who come to him to 'play video games'?" Lewandowski suddenly asked.
Bruch scratched his head. He had a hunch: 'playing video games' would become a joke that Xiao Peng couldn't get around.
