There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Candela... 'Bolivarian slang', I really can't understand. My men and I have devoted countless days and nights to this operation, and you simply found three outsiders who had nothing to do with it and handed the task over to them as if it were a joke..."

"And they just happened to ruin my plan! I don't understand, Candela, why someone like you is the winner!"

His broad palms were tightly clenched together, and the veins on his wrists were bulging out in a hideous manner. One could imagine how Pancho felt at the moment.

"I won?"

With a sneer, Candela put it aside, as if she had heard a joke.

"What are you talking about, old Pancho? It seems you've been in my city so long that you've forgotten who I am."

"Or rather, you have never understood me, nor have you tried to understand me."

"Your enemy has never been me, and you have never lost to me. You just failed, it's that simple."

The smile on her face faded, replaced by seriousness. Now Candela looked a bit like the mayor.

"He's lived in the city I hate the most for over a decade, professing his hatred for the tripartite government, yet he's forced to accept funding from one of them in order to overthrow me. Let me guess...it's someone from Leithania, right? Ah! I can even guess his identity!"

"Tell me, old Pancho, what were you thinking? You actually asked for help from those ruthless guys?"

Looking at Pancho with great interest, Candela's words completely calmed down Pancho, who was just indignant.

Seeing Pancho silent, Candela took the opportunity to chase after him.

"Ah...you mean you've learned to endure humiliation?"

"Well, then, why don't you come to me and beg for mercy? Honestly, old Pancho, if you had come to me, I might have given you men and money to fight the war you love so much."

"If you win in the end, Dosoles will also vote for you. I don't think there is a more attractive plan than this."

"I will never bow to you in my life!"

"Ah, people like you just like to be stubborn in some strange ways."

Candela sighed helplessly, shook her head, and continued, "People like you always have an inexplicable pursuit of words like integrity and independence, delusionally believing that there is a kind of integrity that can unite you. You pursue so-called symbols and are willing to sacrifice everything for them."

"In fact, Bolivar has never been independent from the beginning, and has no so-called history. Without history, how can we talk about integrity? How can we talk about symbols?"

“If you succeed, will the Bolivar you build really be the Bolivar you imagined?”

At this point, Candela picked up the wine glass on the side again, moistened her throat with the wine, and waited for Pancho's answer.

The small room was completely silent. Talina and the others didn't say anything. They just looked at Pancho, "looking forward" to his answer.

"No matter what you say, what I wanted from the beginning was to end the war and bring peace to Bolivar. Today I failed, I admit defeat, Candela..."

"But remember, my cause may not be just, but at least it is more just than yours!"

Pancho's tone no longer had the firmness it had before, but his eyes did not dodge. He looked straight at Candela without any retreat.

"Alas... I never claimed to be righteous, my dear old Pancho."

Pancho's stubbornness gave Candela a headache. Even though she was prepared for a protracted war, Candela still underestimated this soldier.

"I don't care what the tripartite government wants to do, I don't care about your Bolivar, in fact, you say I'm addicted to this city, addicted to pleasure, which is also wrong, I don't care about this city."

"What I care about ... is what this city stands for."

Volume 6: Chapter 39: Are you short of a maid?

"Meaning? Entertaining yourself to death is the meaning you care about?"

Pancho, who had been "lurking" in Dos Solès for several years, completely failed to see the meaning of what Candela said, and naturally would not be moved by her few words.

All he saw were people addicted to the pleasure, soldiers who lost all their fortunes in one night, and those who were muddle-headed and only knew how to enjoy themselves all day long.

"Ah...you..."

Facing Pancho, who was as stubborn as a rock, Candela knew that it would take time to convince him to work for her, so she stopped talking and just waved her hand.

"You should go back first. We'll have plenty of time later. Of course, when I say go back, I mean go back to the prison."

Losing interest in continuing the conversation, Candela called a few people to lock up Pancho again, and was taken out by the soldiers again.

"Sorry to have made you laugh."

After Pancho left and there was no one else in the room, Candela looked at the people who were left aside.

"My three nephews are extremely brave. Thanks to you, we were able to solve this big problem..."

Picking up the wine glass, Candela pointed it at Chen, Talina and Lin Yuxia.

Candela nodded slightly, and the scarlet wine in the glass gradually disappeared. Chen and Lin Yuxia were no exception, and they both drank their own glass.

Seeing that her teammates had all drunk it, Talina was not to be outdone and drank it in one gulp.

Then...

There's no after that.

By the time she regained consciousness, it was already the next morning. Talina had returned to the hotel and to her own big bed.

"It was too hasty..."

Covering her still dizzy head, Talina slowly climbed up from the bed, knelt on it, and recalled what happened last night.

"You were drunk, so I carried you back."

Just as Talina was lost in thought, Chen's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Talina found Chen at the table by the window. He was sitting there, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Breakfast was already on the table. It was the Casimir flavor that she was most accustomed to and liked best, not the same buns as in the previous few days.

"Um... Huijie, was it you who carried me back?"

Covering her head which was confused due to the "hangover", Talina got out of bed staggeringly and came to Chen's side.

"I told you, I carried it back."

Emphasizing the gesture of bringing Talina back, Chen pushed the breakfast on the table in front of her.

"Eat. If you can't drink, don't try to be stubborn. It's not always possible for someone to clean up your mess like I do."

"Aren't you here with me..."

Talina, whose stomach was rumbling, ignored Chen's words and picked up the breakfast on the table and started eating.

The breakfast was still hot, just the right temperature, not too scalding. Talina finished it in just a few bites.

Chen just sat there and watched quietly, without saying a word, just staring at Talina.

The overly passionate gaze was finally noticed by Talina. Talina, who had already finished breakfast, raised her head and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Why are you staring at me all the time?

"No, it's nothing, I just see it more often. Maybe I won't be able to see it for a while."

Supporting his chin with his right hand, Chen looked out the window.

The traces of yesterday's battle have been cleaned up, the damaged cruise ship has been towed away for disposal, and now Dosoles has returned to its former peace.

People on the street were laughing, having long forgotten yesterday's nightmare and put it behind them.

"What do you mean?"

Talina, still a little confused, didn't understand what Chen meant and asked.

"Literally..."

Reaching out to rub Talina's already messy hair, Chen rubbed it vigorously.

"I'm going somewhere else in the next few days, so I might not be with you."

"Where are you going?"

After hearing Chen's words, Talina panicked for no reason. She stood up from the stool and stared at Chen with misty eyes.

Having been with Chen for so long, she has never thought of leaving.

From the moment she knew Chen was Talulah's sister, Talina had already regarded this girl, who was older than her, as a family member.

Naturally, Talina had never thought about separation. In her opinion, family members would never be separated.

When Chen resigned from the Longmen Guard Bureau, Talina planned to take her sister back to Casimir to see if she could find a job for Chen in the Guard Bureau there.

Even if he couldn't enter the system, it would be difficult for him to starve to death because of his status as a top student of the Royal Guards Academy of Victoria Chen. At least he would have enough food and clothing.

At worst, Talina has the money to support her, and some of the money from the child's milk powder will be enough for Chen to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

But...she never thought about whether Chen would agree to her arrangement.

She just subconsciously looked at the problems Chen faced with the attitude of an elder, and ignored the fact that he was of the same age as her.

In Chen's view, her care was deliberate charity, and it was normal to refuse it.

"Can...can you please not leave?"

With two fingers circling in front of her chest, Talina's tone couldn't help but lower as she spoke to keep Chen.

"I'm going to Victoria to visit my old classmates and see my silly sister. What? Are you going to stop me from doing this?"

"Or..."

Chen lowered his head and moved in front of Talina. They looked into each other's eyes and saw their own reflections in each other's eyes.

"You can't bear to leave me?"

Chen said with a smile, his lips parted.

"That's not to the point of... ahem!"

Coughing awkwardly, Tarina pulled her head back.

If Chen was going to Victoria to see Tallulah, then she had no reason to keep her.

Compared to her adopted sister, Tallulah, who was related to her by blood, was definitely closer and more important, so she was naturally ranked behind.

But... I always feel a little uncomfortable...

Pursing her lips, Talina stopped dwelling on the matter and chose to let the child fly on his own.

Chen on the side saw the little depression hidden in Talina's heart, but he didn't say it out loud, just waiting for Talina to explode.

Talina was like a talkative old mother, constantly giving Chen instructions.

"You have to be careful..."

"Ah."

"If you have any questions when you get there, please send me a message..."

"it is good."

"And... and..."

At this point, Talina's mind had run out of words for this matter. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to express it.

The expression on her face changed several times. Talina looked at Chen's smiling face and forced herself to speak out what was in her heart.

"Then you...then you must think of me when you are over there..."

Their fingers awkwardly touched each other, and Talina lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen.

There was suddenly a strange atmosphere in the air, and the two fell into silence.

Did I say something weird...

Having not received any response for a long time, Talina kept questioning herself in her heart and regretting her rash words just now.

But he didn't know that a strange look suddenly appeared on Chen's face.

Looking at Talina who was looking down, not knowing what she was thinking, Chen's lips seemed to be stuck with glue, and it took a long time for her to tear them apart and utter her answer.

"Okay... I will definitely miss you..."

After saying this, Chen's body suddenly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"It seems... I have to go ask my good sister for something..."

Reaching out and gently stroking Talina's head, Chen quietly enjoyed this last time they spent together.

Chen made the decision quickly and took the special car arranged by Candela to Victoria in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Talina went to see off the child who was about to go on a long journey.
