Chapter 123 The Triumphant
"Wow...what a deep pit." Paipai squatted on the edge of the destroyed road and looked down. Among the charred rubble, dots of different-colored flames were still flickering.
"Including the cracks, this stretch of road needs to be repaired for at least ten meters. How much will that cost?" Lucy put her hands on her hips, mentally estimating the cost of repairs and the sentence for damaging public facilities. "... Anyway, let's just pretend nothing happened and get out of here."
"Then what should we do with these people?" Wright, who was leaning against the car door, pointed casually at the bandits who were kneeling on the side of the road with their hands behind their heads, and were now as obedient as quails.
"Well...why not bury them all?" Caesar touched his chin and thought for a while, then came up with a more outlaw way of dealing with it.
"No!!"
"Hey guys, we know we're wrong! Please don't kill us!"
"We just wanted to fight for some property, it's not a crime punishable by death!"
"Please hand us over to the police! We are willing to go to jail!"
Upon hearing Caesar's proposal, the bandits immediately cried out loudly.
"Shut up! If you keep arguing, I'll really bury you all." Lucy threatened, swinging the bat.
Seeing the arrogant men now crying and clinging to each other like a group of innocent little girls is really an eye-catching scene.
"Caesar, take the man back and let Big Daddy handle it. Someone has to pay for the repairs on this road.
Otherwise, it will affect the cargo transportation business of everyone in the outer ring.
We can't explain to the Motorcycle Alliance either." Lucy sighed, looking at this group of ignorant bandits with disdain. "You arrive in a new place and don't ask around before you get involved.
Do you really think there's no one in our outer ring?!"
"Then press Lucy...
"Wait! It seems like there's more people coming. Everyone, be alert!" Before Caesar could finish his words, he saw a group of black dots rapidly approaching on the distant horizon.
“Another convoy coming!?
"That's perfect! Nawei, let me show you another one of my 'specials'!" Bernice, who was originally playing with Bai Zhi's arrow, inserted the arrow into her chest, put on her flamethrower and said to Bai Zhi excitedly.
"Hey, Miss Bernice..." Bai Zhi watched helplessly as his arrow disappeared directly into the deep valley on the blonde girl's chest, leaving only the tip of the arrowhead exposed. He stretched out his hand towards Bernice, who slipped away like the wind.
“…My arrow.”
How bold is this girl to casually stuff a bomb as powerful as a bazooka into her chest! ! ?
Bai Zhi looked at Bernice's sunny smile and the cold arrow flashing on her chest that jumped with her movements, and the nerves at the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"...Is she always like this, fearless?" The place where Bernice put her things was too special. Out of politeness, Bai Zhi couldn't keep staring at her, so he had to turn his head and ask Wright.
"...If it's Bernice, then it's not surprising that she did such a thing." Although Wright's eyes twitched when he saw Bernice's bold act of secretly shooting arrows.
After all, the huge crater created by the explosion is still emitting fire. Most people who have seen the power of that beautiful arrow would not even dare to touch it.
Only someone as daring as Bernice would not only borrow one to play with, but also dare to carry it around with her.
But after all, she was his companion, so Wright still protected Bernice's image in front of outsiders.
……I guess so
"Do you have any accomplices?!" Lucy stepped on the leader's shoulder and asked loudly.
“No, no!
It's none of our business. We only have these brothers, no one else!" The leader had originally thought of escaping during the chaos. But when he saw the big man who pulled out the "rocket" after a disagreement, he immediately calmed down after receiving a cold look from him.
"It's the Triumph convoy. A large group of so many people... It seems they just happened to pass by and were attracted by the noise here." Paipai stood on tiptoe, squinted his eyes, and then recognized the motorcycle of this team.
"...Ah! What bad luck. It seems that it is not a good day to go out." Lucy frowned and carried the baseball bat. She walked to Caesar and began to rack her brains to think about how to deal with the difficulties posed by the Triumph.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to help, but looking at the current situation, I seem to have caused you even more trouble." Bai Zhi looked at the few people who were no longer ready to fight at any time, but seemed to have even more headaches, and said with some guilt.
“It’s not Navi’s fault.
If it weren't for you who acted decisively and stopped the fighting with absolute deterrence, we who were not well prepared would have to suffer more or less before we could resolve the situation.
Think about it more positively. It is always more cost-effective to pay compensation to others than to be compensated for medical expenses by others.
"Besides, this incident was first provoked by an outsider. Even the Triumphant, who have always been at odds with us, wouldn't side with an outsider in this situation." Wright patted Bai Zhi's shoulder to comfort him.
"That's right, we are right in this matter." Caesar turned around and gave Bai Zhi a thumbs up, smiling brightly and praising him, "I haven't thanked you for your help yet! It saved us a lot of trouble.
And Na Wei's bomb was just an accident and missed the target.
It's not a fault that the weapons are incredibly powerful, and there will inevitably be losses in battle.
So you don’t need to worry about that.”
"That's right. But don't speak for a while, Nawei.
Leave it to us to solve, otherwise things will become more complicated.
"Oh, I just hope that annoying Lucius isn't here. I don't want to deal with that kind of guy." Lucy wrinkled her nose. The mere mention of that hypocritical guy made her feel disgusted.
During the time they were having a brief conversation, a convoy in the distance, accompanied by a cloud of sand, appeared rapidly in front of the group of [Sons of Calydon].
The motorcyclists who went to check the situation first circled around each other and then returned to the main group.
Unlike the highwaymen who shout and threaten, their driving style is like a hyena, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
In the Triumphal Caravan, each rider stood in uniform at his position, like soldiers standing in formation to protect the leader in the middle.
Bai Zhi looked at the well-organized team in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: In just one day in the outer ring, he met three motorcyclists with completely different styles. It was a rare experience.
Amid the roar of the motorcycle team, a tall and burly man with black and white hair, a beard, and a dignified appearance and temperament drove out of the team and looked up at the [Son of Calydon].
The jet-black leather jacket, like a cape, traced a graceful arc behind the man as he exited the vehicle. The aura of this single individual was enough to overpower the entire team. It was immediately clear who was truly at the helm.
The man first looked at the blown-up road, then swept his eyes over the people kneeling on the side and the fallen motorcycles, and finally cast his gaze on Caesar and his group who were on guard.
"Can anyone tell me what just happened here? Children of the Sons of Calydon."
Small Theater
Bernice: The competition is explosive, I, Bernice, will definitely not lose!
Bai Zhi: ...Can you give the arrow back to me first?
Besides, putting it in that position... don't you feel like the arrow is piercing your flesh? (Closes eyes helplessly)
Bernice: Not at all! (Chest puffed out with pride)
Bai Zhi: ...
