Chapter 124 Overlord Pompey
"Can anyone tell me what just happened here?
Children of the Son of Calydon."
"You've arrived just in time, Uncle Pompey.
We were originally taking friends out for a bike ride today, and just as we were passing by here, we ran into a group of bandits.
How can we let outsiders bully us on our own territory?
So we had a fight with them.
As a result, I was not paying attention and made a lot more noise.
Then...it became what you see now." Caesar said this and touched his hair a little embarrassedly.
"That's quite a commotion." Pompey pointed at the still-smoking crater. "But they're just bandits. They haven't reached the point where they're going to use heavy weapons, have they?"
Caesar girl, when you go out for a ride, do you need to bring things like bazookas?
It seems I haven't had a drink with your Big Daddy in a while, so I didn't realize that the current Son of Calydon is so cautious.
"Ahahaha... no, no!" Caesar laughed dryly and shook his head, saying, "Who would take a heavy weapon for a spin for no reason?
Uncle, look, we didn’t even get out many motorcycles. This is really an accident.”
"That's right, it was just an accident." In order not to involve Bai Zhi, Lucy raised her hand and pointed at Bernice, putting the blame on her head: "You should have heard of our bartender Bernice.
She has a little hobby.
It had just happened suddenly. In an emergency, Bernice had frantically thrown out some of the cocktail ingredients from the car. No one knew which ones had reacted.
Anyway! We really didn’t mean to destroy the road. It’s all the fault of those foreign bandits!!”
Pompey looked down at the actively quibbling little girl before him, then followed Lucy's finger to glance at the smiling blonde. His gaze lingered for a moment on the special "ornament" gleaming on her chest.
Then he looked at Bai Zhi, who was obviously not a member of the Sons of Calydon. He took a closer look at the crossbow that Bai Zhi had not yet put away.
"Who is this Mr. Pompey with extraordinary bearing..." Noticing Pompey's gaze, Bai Zhi quietly hid behind Wright, and at the same time, curiously whispered to Wright in front of him about this extraordinary gentleman.
Wright looked at the people talking in front of him, turned his head and whispered to Bai Zhi, "That's Pompey, the current overlord of the Motorcycle Alliance.
He is in charge of the allocation of outer ring transport routes, coordinating conflicts and conflicts of interest among various motorcyclists, and helping residents living in the outer ring to solve their life problems.
In the outer ring, motorcyclists' main income comes from transportation.
But if there is no one to coordinate, the motorcyclists will naturally scramble for routes with higher profits, or even fight with each other. On the contrary, some gathering places with low economic benefits will not survive because there is no transportation.
Therefore, to ensure the long-term development of the Outer Ring, the First Overlord established the Motorcycle Alliance. Through a lottery system, large and small motorcyclists regularly rotate transportation routes, ensuring the overall economic benefits of the Outer Ring through this relatively fair method.
Simply put, he is the most powerful and responsible person among the motorcycle community.
Everyone in the outer ring is willing to give this overlord some respect and trust.
In situations like this where the roads are damaged and transportation is affected, we must give this Pompeii Overlord an explanation."
"Recently, other areas have been a bit unstable, and the number of outsiders has indeed increased." Pompey withdrew his gaze from Bai Zhi, glanced coldly at the group of bandits, and said lightly: "I was originally going to ask my brothers to send a letter to everyone, telling the members of the Motorcycle Alliance to be more careful about unfamiliar faces causing trouble on weekdays.
I didn't expect you guys to run into each other by chance."
"Ahem. So, Overlord, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Lucy cleared her throat and finished her nonsense. Seeing Pompey's expression, she didn't intend to get to the bottom of it directly, so she simply took the opportunity to settle the matter directly.
Pompey chuckled and waved to the people behind him. Then the bandits were quickly tied up by the triumphant men. "Alright, little girls.
Stop looking at my expression secretly. Your eyes will penetrate my old face.
I won't bother with you kids.
I'll take these people with me. As for the road...
You guys go back and explain it to Big Daddy, I'll talk to him about the specific solution later.
This is not something you kids need to worry about.
Okay, go ahead and have fun.
When you pass by a gathering place, please keep an eye out and ask the residents if they have encountered any other cases of outsiders causing trouble.
It's to offset the trouble you caused.
By the way, I have one more thing to say. Sharp and dangerous objects like arrows are not suitable for decoration.
Treat your guests well and I won’t disturb you any more.”
After Pompey finished speaking, he nodded and smiled in Bai Zhi's direction, then left with his men and the group of bandits who had already accepted their fate.
After seeing the triumphant group disappear in the distance.
Bernice realized it belatedly and reached out to touch her chest, pulling out the arrow, which had been stained with her body temperature and had become slightly warm. "It seems that the Overlord has discovered it?
Ouch! It hurts.
"You put it so obviously, it's hard not to see it!" Lucy smacked Bernice, who was not doing her best, and complained loudly, "It's a good thing Overlord Pompey didn't intend to investigate further, otherwise everything would be exposed if he asked."
"Alright, alright. Lucy, now that it's over, let's not dwell on the details." Caesar hooked his arm around Lucy's neck and said with a carefree smile, "The question now is what should we do with those motorcycles. Without the uncle and the others being taken away, it would be a waste to just leave them here."
"Oh, let me go!" Lucy pushed away Caesar who was half hanging on her. Lucy, who was petite in comparison, could not bear the weight of Caesar's huge body.
Lucy adjusted the helmet that was tilted by Caesar and said proudly, "I'll call Big Daddy right now and tell him what happened here. Then I'll have him arrange for someone to drive a steel tooth over and take these motorcycles away.
The money from the sale can just cover part of the cost of repairing the road."
"I blew up the road, so I should be the one to pay for repairing it," Bai Zhi said.
"Alas! That's not how it works. You're trying to help us, so this is our shared responsibility.
Besides, we don’t necessarily have to pay for the road construction ourselves. Haven’t those road bandits been taken away?
They caused the incident, so let them repair the road themselves.
Big Daddy will talk to Uncle Pompey about what happens next.
We are all friends, so don't say such polite words, Nawei." Caesar patted Bai Zhi's shoulder and started to link shoulders with him without hesitation.
Bai Zhi was caught off guard when the familiar girl in front of him hooked his shoulder. He tilted his body to look at Caesar and silently pulled his mask down again.
Then Caesar, who had been acting like a generous big sister, had a blush creeping up on her cheeks, and the arm on the person's shoulder felt hot instantly.
"Ahaha! Well... I'm going to check out those motorcycles and give Big Daddy a call while I'm at it.
"Well, you should have a good rest." Caesar pretended to be calm and quickly withdrew his hand, then fled in the direction of Lucy with a bit of hesitation.
Small Theater
Caesar: We are all brothers! (Arm your shoulders with Bai Zhi)
Bai Zhi: ...(Takes off the mask)
Caesar: ...Brother, you are so handsome! (Blushing)
