If things continue like this, even the strongest liquor might eventually just taste salty.
She felt no anger, no inner turmoil, no reluctance; only a strong sense of relief, a feeling of releasing everything.
Just like this glass of wine, in the end, all that's left is saltiness...
......
I'm so sorry, Father—no, I should call you...Mr. William—but for my own sake, and for theirs, I have to give up everything from the past to pursue our future, including Tiffany. I believe she will come to me; she's a simple child. And then I will let her follow in his footsteps. If possible, I would prefer her to stand by his side...
And Narcissus, that crazy child, I will wait for the day Mr. Law brings her back. Her madness will be accepted by Mr. Law and us. I will not ask for your opinion, nor am I interested in whether I am right or wrong.
If I could, I would hope...
I could tear you to pieces with my own hands, and Ti would probably think the same thing..., wouldn't she?
......
The next night, MDR finally crawled out of bed, still half asleep. She had been doing this often since Luo Fan fell into a coma, so she was used to it.
Then, what happened next...
Her brows furrowed as she looked at Luo Fan beside her and Morito in his arms.
"Who the hell is this woman? Did she crawl out from under the bed?"
Well, another one has appeared in bed out of nowhere. MDR really has to admire Luo Fan's ability to pick up dead bodies. Maybe next year Luo Fan will be able to pick up a four-generation family.
Surprisingly, Helian didn't wake up either... but she should be soon, since MDR always makes quite a commotion when she gets up.
"Ugh...uh..." MDR was just annoyed, extremely annoyed! I was the one who slept in this bed first, so why...?
But now she can only get dressed, get up and leave to "busy" other things, without disturbing them.
So I was the biggest clown after all (?). Oh well, never mind.
She strained so hard she almost tore a hole in her stockings, and prepared to leave the warm but somewhat cramped bed.
But as she stood up, a hand grabbed her calf...
"The taste!"
With a gasp, she turned around and saw that the hand belonged to the unknown woman, who was smiling at her.
She wanted to wake Luo Fan to help her out, but she didn't dare.
"Shh..."
She made a shushing gesture with her other free hand, then slowly released MDR's legs, as if releasing a small bird with an injured wing.
MDR wasn't involved in the Bremen mission, and she didn't know who Morido was, but she was certain that this woman she didn't know was definitely not a good person, otherwise she wouldn't have been taken to bed by Lovan (what kind of logic is that?).
Once he regained his mobility, MDR fled the room as if he were escaping.
"Tsk, Morito, what are you doing..." Morito's movements and MDR's departure caused a slight disturbance, making the sleeping Lofan a little unhappy...
But then a warm hand brushed across his face.
"Shh, it's just a little bird passing by. Go back to sleep. I'll stay here with you."
This was the gentle embrace of Morido. Although still wary, Lofan, in a light sleep, felt a sense of comfort.
Although he was too sleepy to open his eyes, Luo Fan opened them unconsciously out of curiosity.
He wanted to know, to see what the ruthless Morido was like now.
But the first thing you see is a beautiful face a meter away, with slightly furrowed brows.
"Ugh, damn it..."
Luo Fan was instantly wide awake, feeling a surge of heat rush to his brain and explode with excitement.
"Waiting, Helian, isn't what you think!"
Luo Fan didn't know how to explain it; the sentence just popped into his mind unconsciously.
Not only is it ridiculous, but it's also not necessarily effective.
But the other person simply closed their eyes, their voice still tinged with weariness: "I know, after all, you've already sworn an oath to most of Griffin, including the Ironblood..."
Well, okay, Luo Fan forgot about his great achievements.
But when Helian opened her eyes again, her gaze was even more eerie: "So can you explain why you and this woman are in my bed?"
"Uh, actually this is my bed..."
It seems that Helian still doesn't have a good understanding of the current situation.
"what?"
Helian sat up abruptly in bed and looked around the unfamiliar room.
It was equally tidy, but the layout and furniture were completely different from her tidy room; it was practically... a nostalgic style from over 40 years ago, for the era she was familiar with.
Luo Fan helplessly spread his hands: "See, I told you so."
She still found it unbelievable, but reality left her no choice.
She wanted to ask more questions, but then she saw Morido looking at her with extreme displeasure...
280 Women fighting (?)
"What kind of look is that?" This made Helian feel even worse.
"You interrupted our good morning time."
But it's nighttime now...
Luo Fan kindly reminded him.
......
"Alright, then explain why I'm here." The situation was too tangled and complicated; Helian was too lazy to continue getting entangled in this melodramatic mess.
Just as Luo Fan was about to answer, Morido slipped out of Luo Fan's arms like a snake, facing Helian on the bed in a seductive pose, as if to proclaim her powerful "strength".
She hadn't buttoned up her white shirt yet, so this might actually be some kind of protest...
The desire to compare oneself to others is always present. Helian simply lowered her head and immediately felt deeply humiliated.
With onlookers present, her desire to perform intensified, so Helian also reached her hand to the chest area of her pajamas...
"Tsk, what do you mean, are you insulting me?!"
Luo Fan quickly turned over to stop her: "Hey, what's the rush? How old are you? Don't act like a little kid!"
"She humiliated me!"
"She just rolled over, how did that humiliate you?"
"I......"
Helian was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer this potentially fatal question; what was infuriating was that Morido was actually covering her mouth and chuckling! What was even more infuriating was that she couldn't make a move, otherwise it would be tantamount to admitting that she was inferior to Morido!
"Uh... never mind, just tell me what's going on." Helian collapsed onto the bed, completely giving up.
A concession by one side may signify the end of a conflict; often...
Moriarty added, "I rolled over just to tell you that."
"Damn it, can't you just shut up a little?!"
The steps I just laid out for Morido, good heavens, she tore them down herself!
Before Helian could have another attack, Lofan waved his hand as if swatting a fly.
"Alright, alright, I'll explain."
If I don't intervene, it'll really turn into a women's fight soon, although Morido probably won't really get serious...
"boom......"
"Commander, you're finally awake?!"
... (Awkward eye contact)
"Squads, a Paradis high-ranking Netomorid has appeared, and she appears to pose a serious threat to the Commander!"
"Hey, M4, wait!"
......
So, it's evolved into this situation again: first it was the agent, then Mrs. Grey, and now it's Morido.
“We should be close to our friends, but even closer to our enemies, shouldn’t we?” Morido said with a smile as she sat on a bar stool.
Almost everyone came to the bar on the first floor to welcome Moriarty, their distinguished guest.
Even though MDR and M870, who did not participate in the Bremen mission, were aware of the danger of her behavior and identity through data sharing, her actions were not restricted too much. She could still drink with the Lovanch girls as she was now, which was also because of the precedent set by Mrs. Grey.
But the old grudge remained, and if it weren't for the occasion and Luo Fan's presence, the girls would have given Morido a good beating.
"Another glass of whiskey, please." Morido understood this perfectly well, which is why she casually asked Lovan for another glass.
He was simply basking in the enthusiastic gazes of the girls...
M16, as the leader, asked first, "So, from now on, she's one of us?"
The girls' gazes also turned to Luo Fan as M16 asked his question.
"Uh, I guess so. It's been a whole night. If she wanted to kill me, I would be dead by now." That's a reason that's both plausible and unreliable: she could have killed me, but she didn't.
But based on the conversation with Mrs. Grey last night, it's more likely to be a friendly one...
However, when Morido heard the voice of Pigeon 16, she couldn't help but tremble.
It was M16 who climbed onto the helicopter with his bare hands and pulled himself down, but it seems that M16 is still unaware of this.
It's best not to know, otherwise I'll probably get a lot of ridicule from her.
At a nearby table, Mrs. Grey patted Adeline on the shoulder, and she stepped forward.
“Commander, I can sense that Sister Morido has no ill intentions.”
"Um......"
Lovan knew very well that Nieto were sisters to each other. Apart from the details of the mission and the objectives, they could sense each other's malice. And Adeline had made a vow with him, so he could absolutely trust her. If she said no, then no.
Luo Fan nodded and said, "I believe you, Adeline, but..."
“I don’t believe her.” Helian, sitting at the bar, shook her head.
The helpless man could only purse his lips, giving off a "see?" look.
“I might believe in time travel, but I can’t believe in Paradis.”
After a brief explanation a few minutes earlier, Helian had accepted the fact that she had traveled through time, but to accept Paradis... would be like letting a wolf into the house for her.
No one found it strange, of course, as they had already witnessed Mrs. Grey's contributions.
Herrian's words only made Morido want to laugh...
"Come on, lady, you look like you're only in your early twenties. You're probably about the same age as this IOP researcher, right? How come your brain doesn't work as well as hers?"
Pascal, sipping his coffee, pointed awkwardly at himself. How did this suddenly get to him?
But Helian, now clear-headed, was no longer so easily provoked, and remained noncommittal to Moridor's taunts.
"When you came here, did you have any nostalgia for the past, like... a partner? Or is it that you just couldn't find one?"
......
"Luo Fan, can I kill her?!"
"Miss Helian, calm down, calm down! Impulsiveness is the devil!"
Even Little Nine almost couldn't hold back the enraged Helian, but it has to be said, Morido's tongue is even more venomous than M870's and Sister 45's...
Luo Fan slapped the table and said loudly, "Ahem, alright, with Mrs. Grey and Adeline vouching for us, and with all of you here, there's no need to worry about any problems. I've also recovered my health. Let's all prepare for the last few days before the New Year."
Luo Fan only hoped that this matter could be put aside, and he was not actually very worried about the issue of loyalty.
“If the commander says so, then… okay.” AR15’s words and expression clearly conveyed two different thoughts.
“I’ll keep an eye on her…” AK12 and AK15 said in unison.
Without a word, anyone could feel the malice in those gazes, and all that malice was directed at one person.
However, the person involved wasn't particularly scared...
