Ernesto quietly reminded Lin Yuxia and Chen Huijie who were already getting along well, and stood on the side to shield them from a few guys who were joining in the fun.
"I'll talk to you about it when we get back!"
Hearing Ernesto's reminder, Chen had to stop swinging his fist and reluctantly got off Lin Yuxia.
As a senior inspector, she was superior to Lin Yuxia in close combat, but Lin Yuxia, who was acting on impulse, was certainly no match for Chen.
"Ah..."
With a soft laugh, Lin Yuxia got up from the ground.
The two men cleaned the sand off their clothes and walked back to the stage under Ernesto's guidance.
"Hahaha! Candela really invited three incredible young people!"
Walking forward with a big laugh, Pancho, wearing a white military uniform, looked at Chen and Lin Yuxia with a smile on his face.
"You know us?"
Looking at Pancho's meaningful eyes, Chen asked.
"Who doesn't know that the mayor entertained three young men from Longmen?"
Pancho's hearty laughter was so contagious that Chen unconsciously let down his guard.
After looking at the three people in front of him, Pancho turned his attention to Ernesto who had arrived late.
"Ernesto, you didn't neglect the three guests, did you?"
"Of course not, father. This is the task assigned to me by Ms. Candela. I will certainly do my best."
Ernesto smiled slightly, and the amount of information mixed in his words stunned Talina, who was holding three pure gold trophies.
"Father?"
Talina looked carefully at the sunny and handsome Ernesto and the fat-faced and ferocious Pancho, and she really couldn't connect the two men together.
"Yes, we are indeed father and son."
Pancho's eyes swept over Talina standing aside, and his pupils shrank slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
like...
"What's wrong, Mr. Pancho?" Noticing Pancho's momentary trance, Talina asked.
"No...nothing. Have fun, young men."
Shaking his head, Pancho didn't say much. He just said a simple goodbye and left.
"Phew~ I feel much more relaxed. I always feel stressed when he's around me."
Only after seeing Pancho walk away did Ernesto dare to come forward.
"So, you two, a few of you have already won. Are you interested in forming a team to participate in the competition?"
Ernesto suggested, looking at the golden trophy in Talina's hand.
"I'm interested, but not with this guy."
Chen curled his lips and glanced at Lin Yuxia.
She still remembered how this woman had tripped her up and brought her down.
Even though I beat her up, it still wasn't enough to satisfy me.
"What a coincidence! I thought so too."
Lin Yuxia's attitude is exactly the same as Chen's.
"You can try another audition, Miss."
Seeing that Lin Yuxia showed no sign of remorse, Chen felt a little unhappy, and the anger that he had just suppressed slowly resurfaced.
"Impossible, this election is already the last one."
Lin Yuxia showed no intention of giving in and her attitude became more and more pressing.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Ernesto, who was acting as a peacemaker, hurried to smooth things over.
"You two are both VIPs of Longmen. If you go your separate ways, people will inevitably make a fuss. It's better for you to stay together so that you can look after each other."
It must be said that as Dosoles' chief diplomat, Ernesto has excellent professional qualities. With just a few words, he elevated the personal feud between the two to the international level and suppressed it steadily.
But what he said made sense. The entire match was broadcast live. If Wen Yue saw it, she would inevitably be lectured when she returned, not to mention Lin Yuxia who had the three big words "Wei Yanwu" on her back.
Seeing the tension between the two men ease, Ernesto quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "One more person means more support. Since the three of you have decided to form a team to compete, I'll come and help."
"If Ms. Candela knew I stood by and watched, I'm afraid I'd be scolded."
With a wry smile, Ernesto took the two reluctantly reconciled people to the competition venue to register.
Talina followed behind happily, holding three pure gold trophies.
Although she was rich, it was the first time for her to hold such a luxurious thing in her hands, so she couldn't help but feel happy.
Soon, several people followed Ernesto to the stadium hall.
While Ernesto was registering, Chen and Lin Yuxia began to discuss the matter of the casino owner.
Although they became the winners by accident, they did not forget the purpose of coming here in the first place.
Since Alas is related to the smuggling case, we can pry some information out of him. Then, by following the clues, we may be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Everyone, the competition information has been registered. Here are your information cards."
Ernesto, who had returned from the front desk, distributed the cards in his hand to the three people one by one.
PS: It’s so hot~ I didn’t do anything but it’s still so hot~ I’m so sleepy~ Two updates today~
Volume 6: Chapter 11: Preparation
"The official competition will begin in three days. You three can start preparing. If there's anything you don't understand, or if you're not sure about the competition format, you can ask me."
Ernesto shook the card in his hand and said, "After all, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard."
"I see you three seem to have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll go ahead..."
"Hello, Neis Mioto, I just noticed something. It seems that most of the people in this city are soldiers."
Chen stopped Ernesto who was about to leave and told him what he had just seen.
Since she came here, she has discovered that whether it is a swimwear shop on the street or a shop selling snacks, the shop owners are basically big and strong.
There were also too many calluses on his hands. Chen had only seen these features on people from the army before.
But the five shops she visited were all staffed by soldiers. This was a bit...
Too much?
"Miss Chen, you have a keen eye for observation. You're right. Most of the people here are soldiers. After all, not everyone can enter Dosoles."
Stopping his pace and staying where he was, Ernesto explained to Chen: "If you want to come here for vacation, you must have enough money, but if you want to settle down and do business here, you need too much money."
"In Bolivar, the second best way to make money is to work here, and the first best way to make money..."
At this point, Ernesto smiled.
"I'm going to join the army."
Listening to Ernesto's words, Chen nodded thoughtfully.
If that's the case, then it makes sense.
As an old colony, Bolivar has been caught in a three-way melee between two puppet governments and an independence army. Under such circumstances, it is normal for everyone to be a soldier.
Compared to this, it would be better to say that Dosoles is more like an outlier.
It is obviously a chaotic country, but there is a holiday resort that is as famous as Xiosta. This strong contrast makes people pay more attention when visiting.
"So... your father is also a soldier?"
Chen asked curiously, the image of Pancho who had just come to congratulate him appearing in his mind.
If what Ernesto said is true, then wouldn't his father be a high-ranking warlord?
"The old man was indeed a soldier. I think he was promoted to colonel..."
Nodding in confirmation of Chen's words, Ernesto shook his head helplessly: "But what good is a high position? The old man was so focused on fighting that he didn't consider anything else. That's why he was framed and removed from office soon."
"Feel sorry..."
Realizing that he seemed to have touched someone's sore spot, Chen apologized embarrassedly.
"Haha...it's okay. I think the old man is pretty stupid too."
Ernesto smiled carefreely: "If your fists aren't strong enough, who can you show off to if you keep your back straight all day? It will only cause you more trouble."
"But the old man has become more capable since he got here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to work for the mayor."
"Is that so?"
After saying this in agreement, Chen stopped talking.
"I thought you were going to criticize."
At this time, Lin Yuxia, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke out.
"I don't know Dossolez or Bolivar, so it's a bit arrogant to criticize others without any evidence."
Rolling his eyes, Chen walked over to Talina and took the trophy that was a bit too heavy for her, who was staggering.
After the battle with Ernst & Young, Chen was no longer as "righteous" as before.
The world is not black and white, and there is no absolute position. All decisions depend on the situation of the person involved.
The infected people in despair chose to attack the city. Chen couldn't say anything. In the environment of Ursus, they had no choice.
If you don't move forward, you will die!
Chen is not one of them, so she cannot empathize with them. Because she holds a high position, she has never suffered any discrimination as an infected person.
Just like what is happening with Pancho now, Chen has never experienced what he has experienced and cannot criticize or judge.
"I never thought that the famous and vindictive Superintendent Chen would say such things. If your former colleagues saw this, they would probably be terrified."
"If you want to fight, I'll join you. It just so happens that we haven't finished fighting yet."
Looking back at the provocative Lin Yuxia, Chen showed no sign of weakness.
The fight just now was temporarily stopped because of the need to consider the image, but she didn't mind fighting with Lin Yuxia again here.
Just a good opportunity to stretch my arms and legs.
"Tsk... not funny at all..."
Seeing that Chen seemed really angry, Lin Yuxia stopped provoking him.
If she really wanted to fight Chen, she would not show weakness, but now the two of them were not far away, and if she started fighting rashly, the probability of her getting beaten was almost 100%.
She was just annoyed with Chen, but that didn't mean she liked being beaten.
"Ernesto, will the next matches require as much action as before?"
After Lin Yuxia shut up, Chen's mood improved a lot. He immediately called Ernesto over and asked him about the Grand Prix.
She had noticed long before that Talina seemed to be interested in this competition. In that case, winning the championship to cheer her up would be a good idea.
We are here to have fun anyway, so why not have fun?
"...If Ms. Chen is talking about a melee like today, then this is it."
"I don't know if there are such things where you three live, but this competition is indeed more of a physical competition."
After finding a place to sit down, Ernesto began to explain to the three people the things to pay attention to regarding the Grand Prix.
Among them, Ernesto emphasized the issue of confrontation.
"After all, everyone is here for vacation, so naturally most of them are looking for fun. They'd rather see exciting physical confrontations than regular competitions."
"So, we're going up there to entertain the whole city?"
Lin Yuxia, who was busy playing with her fingers, suddenly said.
"Haha...that's about what I mean."
Ernesto smiled and nodded.
"Although I think so, but since I'm going to participate, it's better to make some preparations."
