Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

The cigarette was already lit, so Ye He gently removed the lighter.

But the fingers holding the cigarette were still trembling slightly, and Sandra's pupils were also trembling, and she couldn't put the cigarette filter into her mouth at all.

Ye He...why did he appear here?

The tavern that Sandra chose was very particular. The location of this tavern was remote enough, and it was noon. Even if there were pedestrians passing nearby, they would not think that the tavern was open for business.

But Ye He came anyway.

Sandra, the gang leader whose goal was to intimidate Ye He, was already frightened and helpless just because she was face to face with Ye He.

Ye He turned his head and glanced at Jinx. This blue-haired girl with two very long braids was looking at him curiously.

When the two people's eyes met, an unexpected sense of tacit understanding suddenly emerged in their hearts at the same time, causing them to smile at each other at the same time.

Checking their eyes, they are all lunatics who hide their madness deep in their hearts.

"I'm Jinx!"

Jinx, who always felt that she would have a lot to talk about with Ye He, took the initiative to tell Ye He her name.

"I'm Ye He."

Ye He also said his name, making Jinx's eyes widen and round.

The excited girl ran over from behind the sofa, walked around Ye He three times, looked at Ye He very critically, and then pulled Ye He's clothes and asked Ye He:

"Are you Ye He? [Father of Destruction]?"

"Yes."

With a smile on his face, Ye He looked at Jinx gently, but his right hand was behind his back, clamping the dagger that the girl secretly stabbed at his waist.

"Hehe, I heard that you have a very powerful and powerful bomb? The kind that can lift a city into the sky?"

Jinx's big eyes were still looking at Ye He happily, and she also said the words she was most interested in Ye He in her mouth, but her little hands were still exerting force, trying to pierce the dagger into Ye He in the body.

After discovering that Ye He was much stronger than herself and that she could not use brute force to break through Ye He's fingers holding the dagger, Jinx's grin widened and she suddenly pressed the button on the raised part of her dagger. A switch.

"Snapped!"

Along with the sound of gunpowder exploding, an extremely vicious needle shot out from the mechanism on the dagger, hitting Ye He's back!

The power of these tiny needles may not be fatal individually, but there are too many of them, and who knows if Jinx has poisoned them?

If it were anyone else, even a middle-to-high-level monster user would be hard-pressed to deal with such a blow at this distance.

But for Ye He, it was far behind. With a flash of silver light behind Ye He, Camelot not only intercepted all the fine needles, but also bundled them into a roll and sent them to Ye He. He raised his other hand and looked at it with interest.

Jinx seemed to have finally realized the gap between himself and Ye He. For him, his trump card was just a child's toy. Apart from making Ye He find her interesting, she did not threaten Ye He in the slightest.

She simply let go of the dagger and took a step back, but the smile on her face did not stiffen or fade at all, and she was still looking at Ye He happily.

Ye He casually placed the dagger between his fingers on the bar beside him, and the thin needle in his other hand was also placed next to the dagger.

Then he looked at Jinx curiously and asked the girl with his eyes if she had any other interesting gadgets?

"It's your turn!"

Jinx did not immediately respond to Ye He's look, but said that it was Ye He's turn to show off his stuff.

Ye He smiled at the girl, then took out a high-explosive fragmentation grenade from his pocket and threw it directly to Jinx.

As soon as Jinx took possession of this heavy cylindrical metal creation, he immediately noticed the circular tab at the top with special interest.

After just fiddling with the tab without pulling it out, Jinx felt his inspiration boiling.

The sense of threat coming from the grenade in her hand made this girl a little dazed!

She just loves this feeling! She loved the danger.

The same sense of threat was also transmitted to Sandra, and the gang leader only reacted at this time.

She subconsciously put down the cigarette that would have burned her fingers any later, and jumped down from the chair in front of the bar. Just as she was about to express her caution to Ye He, she suddenly recognized the reality, gave up her struggle dejectedly, and sat back. He sat on the chair and poured all the wine in the glass into his mouth.

Ye He also sat down on the chair next to her and looked at Sandra with interest.

To be honest, Sandra is not good-looking, and Jinx, who is playing grenades next to her, is much prettier than her.

The men's suit she wore didn't show any feminine charm, but there was a smell of gunpowder in her body that came from professionalism, which Ye He had not seen in other people before.

After coming to this world, it was the first time Ye He met this kind of woman who carried the aura of blood and fire and walked with danger.

In the past, Ye He was surrounded by such people. Some people also said this to Ye He: The difference between mercenaries and gangsters is actually just whether they have a basic salary or not.

Seeing the smell of gunpowder, Ye He did not immediately embarrass Sandra, but simply asked Sandra:

"Who's causing trouble for me?"

Hearing Ye He's question, Sandra's wrist, which was pouring wine, trembled and she almost spilled the wine.

If someone asked Sandra this question under other circumstances, Sandra, as a professional gangster, would be very professional and put all the responsibility on the Capone family, and would never expose the employer behind the scenes. .

But this is Ye He!

Not to mention the Capone family, even the Vongola family cannot afford Ye He's revenge, otherwise how could this opportunity for action fall on the Capone family.

The wine was poured, and Sandra put down the bottle, but did not lift the glass of wine to her mouth and drink it.

She knew that she didn't have much time left for her. If she couldn't give Ye He a satisfactory answer, this glass of wine would be the last glass of wine she would drink in her life!

Ye He, who had a relaxed expression, put one hand on the bar and gently tapped his fingers on the bar, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

Because he understands Sandra better than Sandra thinks.

This woman traveled thousands of miles from the Federation to come to Cedarville and led a team to this foreign country to perform a mission. However, all the team members were wiped out, and she was blocked by an unbeatable target, and fell into this extremely dangerous situation. , there is not even a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

Ye He also understood that the reason for Sandra's delay in speaking must be because whether she asked the Capone family to take the responsibility or revealed the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, the Capone family would not be able to please her in the end. The future is always dark.

In this case, Sandra didn't even have the qualifications to regret, only endless despair was spreading in her heart.

"Don't be nervous, let's do this."

In order for his own fun to last longer, and because it was rare to find such a "similar person" who could remind Ye He of his previous life, Ye He took the initiative to propose to Sandra:

"Come with me, I will protect you from now on."

"Ok?"

The sudden solicitation caught Sandra off guard. She looked at Ye He in surprise, but first noticed that the man casually took out a stack of gold pounds from his arms and slapped it on the bar with a "snap"!

The Federation has long signed foreign exchange regulations with the Empire. Not only can the Empire's gold pounds be used directly in the Federation, but even if they are exchanged for Federation gold coupons, there is a stable exchange rate.

So Sandra could tell at a glance that the value of this pile of gold pounds was around 50,000 gold coupons, which was almost the amount she earned from four or five missions for the family.

"This is your annual salary. It is my habit to pay first and then hire people. It is also the rule of the Continental Hotel. You shouldn't have to worry about the Capone family coming to the Continental Hotel to trouble you, right?"

A heroic and hearty smile appeared on Ye He's face. He knew that whether to lose his family's honor and name, or to get a stable home, Sandra would make a choice that satisfied him.

It just so happened that Cedarville's Continental Hotel was developing faster and faster. It was a little difficult to control the situation with just a low-level monster user like Evans, and Corinna didn't like to show up in public to do these service tasks.

Even though Sandra was submissive in front of Ye He, Ye He had already seen clearly the strength of the monster in her body, and she was also a level 5 monster user.

Let Sandra come to work for the Continental Hotel and provide this kind of superficial service, which is just right for Ye He.

After joining Continental Hotel, Sandra is her own person. It will be less stressful for her to tell who is the mastermind behind the harm to Continental Hotel.

"I……"

Looking at the gold pounds on the bar, Sandra's eyes quickly wavered.

Just as Ye He thought, her extremely desperate heart that had sunk to the bottom of the valley had been attracted by the light of redemption released by Ye He.

And it was still so "golden" that she couldn't resist it!

There are no greater ups and downs in life than this. There was a glass of wine in front of Sandra, but she still kept swallowing.

This action showed that Sandra had made a choice, but the surprise came too suddenly, and she really needed some time to calm down.

"Crack!"

A familiar sound of pulling out a ring attracted Ye He's attention.

The sudden sense of danger caused Sandra to immediately pick up the gold pound on the bar and rush towards the window nearby.

"Hehehe...hahaha..."

Jinx, whose face was a little flushed, stared at the grenade in his hand, until Ye He lifted the back of her neck with some satisfaction, and took her to jump out of the window that Sandra had smashed open, leaving her without holding on. The grenade was left in the tavern.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion almost completely destroyed the tavern. The bar where the three of them were just now must have disappeared. This kind of wooden bar cannot withstand the damage of high-explosive fragmentation grenades.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

Jinx, who was shaken by the loud noise, smiled like crazy. A piece of sawdust shot out of the tavern made a small cut on her cheek, and a drop of blood flowed down her chin, but she was indifferent. care.

"boss."

Now that she had taken other people's money, Sandra would not hesitate anymore and immediately changed her name to Ye He "boss".

"Well, this girl is from your family?"

Ye He, who was standing in the back alley of the tavern with Sandra, raised Jinx in his hand to Sandra.

"Yes, she is Jinx Glow, a child picked up and adopted by my brother, the patriarch of the Capone family.

She possesses some special talent that is different from ordinary people, so she is cultivated by the Capone family as their hope against the Vongola family in the future.

She was not included in the operation team this time, so she secretly followed them on her own. "

Sandra was like pouring beans, telling all the details about Jinx without any concealment.

She was also ready to tell Ye He who hired the Capone family and let her lead a team to cause trouble for Ye He.

But Ye He casually said "hmm" and did not continue to ask this question. Instead, he put Jinx down and reached out to scratch the head of this crazy girl.

Jinx subconsciously raised her head, and after meeting Ye He's eyes, she barely regained some sense.

But her little sense only allowed her to immediately grab Ye He's clothes, and coquettishly said to Ye He like a child asking for sweets:

"Are there any more? Are there any more? Can you give me two more? No, one is enough, please!"

"Hahahaha! I have as many as you want, more powerful ones, flash fire-breathing ones, and ones that can burn this city into a sea of ​​flames! I have them all!

But let’s go eat first. If you are willing to obey, I can give you anything to play with! "

Ye He smiled happily at Jinx.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that this girl was very appealing to him.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm obedient! I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Jinx was also interested in the various explosives described by Ye He. She did not continue to act coquettishly, but followed Ye He obediently as he walked down the street.

The corner of Sandra's mouth twitched. Jinx was already dangerous enough, but she didn't expect that Ye He would actually provide her with explosives to play with.

How did the nearby tavern blow up? Didn't Ye He have any self-awareness?

Just now, she and Ye He were having a good chat, but Jinx suddenly turned on the explosive. Isn't this enough to show that this girl is full of some dangerous self-destructive tendencies?

Of course Ye He knew, but he didn't care. He thought Jinx was interesting enough and it was just to his liking.

As for the Capone family... From today on, Jinx is his half-sister, Ye He. As Ye He said, how dare the Capone family continue to trouble him?

Sandra and Jinx were brought back to the Continental Hotel for dinner by Ye He. Ye He introduced Sandra to Rose by the way, which also showed that the female gang leader of the Capone family was recruited by him and would be a member of the Continental Hotel in the future. The head of the security department.

Rose seemed surprised by the result, but she still shook hands with Sandra and let Sandra have lunch with Ye He. She left to do Evans' work first.

After all, what Ye He promised before was to let Evans be the security director of the Continental Hotel. Ye He could irresponsibly give Evans a "ranking rank". Rose, as the person in charge of the entire Continental Hotel, couldn't help but care. Will there be any conflicts between these people?

But Rose was a little overly worried. Evans looked carefree on the outside, but he was actually a rough guy with a delicate touch.

Not only did he judge that Rose had been successfully "promoted" through the time Rose and Ye He spent in the same room before Rose announced that she would become the person in charge of the hotel.

When Ye He brought Sandra into the Continental Hotel, he had already anticipated this situation.

Evans knew very well how much he weighed. Seeing that among the "guests" coming and going at the Continental Hotel, more and more middle- and high-level monster users had appeared. Once any conflicts or problems arose, he really did not have the strength to deal with them. Handle.

So Evans readily accepted Rose's arrangement, and communicated with Rose very politely in a "hostess" manner, which made Rose a little elated.

Anyway, he didn’t take a salary cut, it was just a job title, so what does it matter?

"High-level officials of the Federation?"

Ye He put down the steak knife and fork, and confirmed to Sandra with some surprise.

"Yes," Sandra nodded to Ye He with a solemn face. Unlike the heartless Jinx, she was already immersed in the delicious food in the Continental Hotel restaurant. When talking about the mastermind behind the scenes, she was still a little uneasy. , can't eat.

"The best name I can find is a man named Michael. He is a city-level deputy minister of industry in the federal city of Midway, but he should have connections from [All Eyes].

Behind him, there should be a higher-level figure, and he himself is just a mouthpiece.

Therefore, the person who is causing trouble for you must be a high-level person in the federation. I am not sure who he is specifically and how high his position is. "

"Well, that's right." After listening to Sandra's explanation, Ye He just thought about it for a moment and immediately understood the cause and effect.

He smiled and comforted Sandra, who was a little restless, and said, "It's okay. Just eat in peace. I won't go to the Federation for the time being. I'm confident about this. Just work with peace of mind."

Hearing what Ye He said, Sandra reluctantly relaxed a little.

Ye He was not deceiving Sandra. Although he had never been to the Federation, and there was no way he was at odds with the senior officials of the Federation, he had indeed figured out the cause and effect, and knew how this trouble came about.

In fact, it was Catalina who caused him trouble.

Ruins exploration in the Eshan Islands!

Although the Federation is beyond its reach and cannot interfere with the Empire to investigate this ruins, they will certainly not give up the opportunity to stumble the Empire.

Don’t talk about yourself. In such an incident involving confrontation between countries, even Ekaterina will be tricked by the federation!

Personal strength... Unless he becomes a god, he will definitely not be able to compare with the leading powers on the continent, such as the Federation and the Empire.

Just like the top leaders of the federation found various people to promote the matter of "causing trouble for Ye He", and finally it fell on the Capone family.

Even if Ye He used this incident as an excuse to find trouble with the federation, in the end he would only cut off the clues to the deputy minister Michael mentioned by Sandra, and would not be able to gain more benefits for himself.

Of course, with Ye He's temper, this matter would definitely not just go unnoticed.

Wait until after the God's Birthday... wait until you are invited to visit the witch's capital Isengard!

Sooner or later, Ye He will have to go to the Federation.

……

Just as Ye He expected, Ekaterina in the Imperial Research Institute did encounter "stumbling blocks" thrown by the federation to cause trouble for her. But unlike Ye He, the Federation did not use killers or gangsters to deal with Yekaterina, but only a notice.

This is an invitation letter inviting Yekaterina to go to the western city of Ishtar to participate in a "technology exhibition" held by the "technology support group" from the federation.

Originally, Ekaterina would disdain this kind of exhibition where outsiders came to her territory to show off their muscles.

But luckily, the Federation stated on this invitation that among the latest technologies on display, there is a "new steam engine" that currently crushes the steam engines used by the Empire in terms of power and efficiency!

Ekaterina has long judged through various channels that the Federation has indeed invented some breakthrough technologies recently and improved steam engines.

Unexpectedly, in order to prevent Yekaterina from participating in the expedition to the ruins of the Eshan Islands, the Federation actually used such important technology as bait.

Those participating in this "technology exhibition" are all scientists from the empire. Whether the new steam engine displayed by the Federation is real or fake, there are also professionals in the empire who can tell.

Therefore, this matter is most likely true, and as the director of the Imperial Scientific Research Institute, Ekaterina is somewhat unable to refuse the temptation of this new steam engine.

Even if she can't perfectly copy this new steam engine, as long as she can work out some small details that are enough to improve the efficiency of the steam engines currently used by the empire, the empire will make money!

Does the Federation think that by holding back Yekaterina and Ye He, it can delay the empire's investigation of the Aishan Islands ruins and give their navy enough time to make a detour from the sea and approach the Aishan Islands?

"Ah."

Yekaterina suddenly sneered. She put down the invitation, picked up a pen on the table, and filled in her name directly at the invitation signature.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of Ekaterina's office.

"Enter."

"Auntie? Are you looking for me?"

The person who walked in from the door was none other than Katarina.

She came here after receiving a notice from Yekaterina. As soon as she entered the door, she immediately saw the sheet on the table in front of Yekaterina, which had been signed by Yekaterina. invitation letter.

"Invitation letter from the Federation? Are they causing trouble for you?"

The clever Catalina didn't need her aunt to explain, she immediately guessed the reason.

"Haha, they underestimate me and the empire too much. Hahaha, go back and inform your people to delay the expedition for three days before setting off. You haven't seen me and Ye He for three days, so you don't have to Just wait until we set off directly.”

Ekaterina easily gave an order to Katerina to delay the expedition. Katerina was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Ekaterina meant. She nodded and smiled at Ekaterina. After a while, he left alone.

Does the Federation think it can hold back Ekaterina as long as it throws out something attractive enough?

Yes, indeed, but how long can they hold off Ekaterina?

Yekaterina gave the Federation three days, and it was three days when she and Ye He went there to participate in the exhibition at the same time.

Then, Futaba and the others stopped accompanying her and continued to explore the ruins of the Aisan Islands!

Yes, Ekaterina never does multiple-choice questions, she wants them all!

And with Yekaterina's authority, she could make Katerina and the entire expedition fleet wait as long as she wanted. Giving the Federation three days would already be a shame for throwing such a big bait to them.

After leaving the Imperial Scientific Research Institute, Katerina immediately asked Karl to send her to the Continental Hotel. Just now, Yekaterina mentioned Ye He, so Katerina understood that Yekaterina wanted to take Ye He with her. Go to that show.

Therefore, Caterina came here this time not only to inform Ye He of the delay, but also to inform Ye He on behalf of Katherina, telling Ye He that her aunt would invite him to Isildar.

However, after arriving at the Continental Hotel, Catalina, who went upstairs alone, suddenly felt a strong sense of threat coming from the room near the top floor of the Continental Hotel where Ye He met her yesterday.

The inspiration that became more and more active the closer she got, did not stop Catalina. She still walked steadily to the door of this room.

After that, she saw such a scene.

"This is called a high-explosive incendiary bomb, with a range of five meters. As the name suggests, it can release flames with temperatures of thousands of degrees, covering its range of action!"

Sitting in front of a table filled with various explosives, Ye He raised an incendiary bomb to the excited Jinx and patiently introduced the effects of the explosive.

"Wow!"

Jinx looked at the incendiary bomb in Ye He's hand excitedly, and then asked Ye He impatiently:

"Can it burn people to ashes?"

"Hey, the flesh and blood will be scorched, and only a scorched corpse will be left in the end. If you throw another one away, you can harvest a complete skeleton!"

Ye He perfectly responded to Jinx's question based on his actual experience.

"Oh! What about this one? This one is round and looks more powerful?"

"This is a concussion bomb. It's not very effective. The explosion range is only about half a meter, but anyone within ten meters will be stunned by it."

"Yeah! Can it kill people?"

"Hey, everyone within its explosion range is dead!"

Conversations like this seem to have been going on for some time.

Because the threat of these explosives was too great, Krent in the nearby practice room had already been a little restless. He made several mistakes during sword practice and was taught a lesson by Corinna several times.

Catalina, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but look at the two people with lingering fear. Compared with the threat of these explosives, she was more unable to accept the two people's enthusiastic discussion on how to use these explosives.

"Cough cough."

She could only cough to remind Ye He, who was enjoying it, that she was here.

Ye He looked up at Catalina and then said to Jinx: "Okay, you go take a nap first."

"Can you give me one when I wake up?"

Jinx stood up obediently, still reluctant to part with the explosives on the table.

"Pick whatever you want!"

Ye He waved his hand generously, and Jinx left the room cheering.

"Is there a problem?"

He unfolded the silver ripples and cleared the table, and then Ye He said hello to Catalina.

"you……"

Catalina couldn't help but look back at the direction Jinx left, and then looked at Ye He without knowing why.

She couldn't understand, where did Ye He find such a girl who had the same affinity with him?

"Haha, that's Jinx, a member of the Capone family."

Ye He saw the inquiry in Katrina's eyes and replied casually to Katrina. Katrina could tell from his casual look that this man with a "companion" was in a really good mood now. very good.

But...the Capone family?

Catalina rolled her eyes and remembered what the Capone family was. In the few seconds she walked to sit opposite Ye He, she also wanted to understand why the family members of the federal second-rate gangsters would Appeared here Ye He.

"Sorry, the federal side..."

Ye He raised his hand to interrupt Katerina, and looked at Katerina with a gentle and friendly look.

Although he was innocent because of the conflict between the Federation and the Empire, considering that he had no losses and found a "companion" like Jinx, Ye He generously forgave the Empire represented by Katarina and signaled to this Just let it go as it is.

Catalina obviously thought that Ye He was just giving her face, so her smile became gentle and happy.

"That's it. Auntie hopes that you can accompany her to Isildar on the 30th. Our expedition fleet will be delayed for three days before departure. Auntie said that if she and you can't catch up with the departure fleet, she will I’ll take you back to the team later.”

"Ah."

Ye He first expressed to Catalina that he understood the fleet delay, and then curiously asked Catalina:

"Isildar, is it a city in the west? Is there anything that requires Yekaterina and I to go there at the same time? Has the Federation prepared to attack this city with its troops?"

This question made Catalina almost choke on her own saliva. She glanced at Ye He with a strange expression. It was indeed Ye He's style to think that the Federation would openly go to war with the Empire over a relic.

However, it is better to resolve this misunderstanding quickly.

Katerina explained the science and technology exhibition to Ye He, and Ye He realized that the federation was trying to trick him, but it was using this meat bun to beat the dog bait tactic against Yekaterina.

Okay, okay, Federation...

A cold light flashed in Ye He's eyes. He first looked down on himself and sent a second-rate gangster to cause trouble for him. Now he is treated differently, right?

Who is the Federation looking down on? As a very professional mercenary, Ye He, if the Federation is willing to pay a sufficient price, such as a dozen mainland hotels or something...

In fact, Ye He was completely willing not to interfere in the investigation of the ruins of the Aishan Islands, and he would not help either the empire or the federation.

No matter what happens... you can at least send someone over to get in touch with yourself and test your appetite?

In fact, Ye He misunderstood the Federation. Let alone sending one person to contact Ye He, the Federation had never stopped sending people to contact Ye He since Ye He came to Cedarville.

But the intelligence agencies on the empire's side are not just freeloaders. Due to emotions and reasons, the spies of [Infinite Eye] have the responsibility and obligation to stop those who try to contact Ye He.

These people sent by the federation to contact Ye He for the "appeasement policy" were destined not to be particularly powerful people, and they often brought something valuable with them as a meeting gift to Ye He.

So for the spies of [Infinite Eye], these people are all "fat sheep" who are easy to bully. Every time they catch one, it is a huge gain. Of course, they will never tire of it and guard Ye He to the death.

As for Sandra and the group of gangsters she brought...it's no wonder that the people at [Infinite Eye] didn't take it too seriously.

Because there was news just now that the first heir of the Vongola family, Edward Vongola, had arrived in Cedarville, and the latter was a member of the Capone family, who had a "deep hatred" with the Vongola family.

The people at [Infinite Eye] naturally thought that Sandra came for Edward.

This kind of mutual strife between gangs occurs anywhere, and it is the "fun" that local officials like to see happen, so it becomes like this.

As the person in charge of the [Infinite Eye], Catalina has of course taken a lot of benefits from the federal agents who were sent to contact Ye He.

So even if she saw why Ye He was angry now, she couldn't tell Ye He the truth openly. She could only find some topics that interest Ye He and chat with him to distract Ye He.

By the way, she completed her daily task of "improving Ye He's favorability".

Yesterday's meeting was because of "business", so Catalina didn't feel comfortable expressing her love to Ye He.

She didn't even bring Karl with her today, just to take the opportunity to communicate with Ye He more and restore the "emotion" that she and Ye He had left in the cold after not seeing each other for several days after Ye He left Siegwig.

Half an hour later, Catalina, who thought she had "got" Ye He, successfully sat down next to Ye He, gently held Ye He's arm and started "whispering".

In the eyes of outsiders, maybe this pair of beautiful people came together "soon" or "already". Only Caterina knew that Ye He was still afraid of her, and she still needed to find a way to "go further" with Ye He. .

"By the way, there is a masquerade party tomorrow night. Can you accompany me to it?"

"Oh?"

Ye He became interested as soon as he heard this, because Caterina's invitation was very special. There must be something special and unique about this masquerade that would make Caterina feel that she would definitely agree to participate, otherwise she would not have invited him. of.

He looked at Katerina curiously and asked Katerina why with his eyes.

Catalina smiled slightly and said directly in Ye He's ear without showing off:

"Hey, I have news, there are many people... who want to take revenge on this dance!"

"revenge?"

Because he had just experienced the [Fog of Resentment] incident, Ye He was still a little sensitive to the word "revenge". Before Catalina could explain the reason, he immediately had the urge to participate.

"Yes, it's very interesting. There are revenges between women against women, and there are revenges between women against men! There are also revenges between men against men, and men against women... Giggles, you won't want to miss it!"

……

James was having a bit of a bad day today.

Not that there was anything wrong with the tavern that was blown up by the high-explosive fragmentation grenade. There were no casualties in this tavern.

On the contrary, he felt that Ye He just bombed a tavern. This behavior was too "stingy" and not at all like Ye He's style!

So he had been worried all day, fearing that Ye He's bombing of the tavern was just a prelude. Since there were no body parts left in the tavern, it was very likely that the Capone family had escaped.

He was afraid that Ye He would turn around and end up in some terrible place and cause some big trouble for him!

Marquis Wolfgang may not care about Ye He, the Zhengshen Church may not care about Ye He, and the Empire's Williamte family may not care about Ye He, but he can't!

Even though Ye He shouldn't kill anyone casually, James had to pay attention to Ye He, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the Continental Hotel to comfort Ye He as soon as Edward reminded him.

Although Ye He ignored him and Ms. Rose at the hotel reassured him to go back, James was still unsure.

He left the Continental Hotel and returned to Klein Field. Edward had already run away, and he could not see anyone all day long. James could only stay alone in the office, and it was like a year until he got off work.

It wasn't until he opened the door, James smelled the smell of barbecue coming from the kitchen, saw Natalia busy in the kitchen, and felt the warmth that his heart truly calmed down.

Since Ye He hasn't exploded anything extra until now, he should be fine, right?

Forget it, don't want to...

James approached the kitchen.

Originally, he wanted to sneak over and hug Natalia from behind.

It's not like he hasn't used this trick on his ex-girlfriend before, and the romantic effect is quite good.

But when he saw Natalia using a knife, and a kitchen knife was shone with a cold light, James rationally gave up on this romance and knocked lightly on the kitchen door.

Even so, James turned his head away at the critical moment and avoided the kitchen knife that Natalia threw at him.

The smooth kitchen knife that reflected his face was still stuck in the kitchen door next to his head and trembling. James wiped the cold sweat helplessly and pretended to be angry and said to the apologetic Natalia:

"Unless you take a shower with me, I won't forgive you!"

Natalia, who had transformed from a workplace killer with smoky makeup to a good wife and mother, blushed and glared at James shyly.

She walked past James and left the kitchen. While taking off her apron, she said to James without looking back:

"The water...has been put away a long time ago..."

James, who almost lost his mind again, quickly picked up Natalia from behind and rushed into the bathroom together.

……

After a long time, the two hungry people returned to the restaurant.

The dinner dishes were already cold, but the two of them didn't care and still enjoyed the dinner happily.

Natalia finally found a gap at this time and handed an invitation letter to James.

"Is this? A masquerade party?"

"Well, someone sent it over this afternoon. It seems that our Chief Inspector James is quite popular?"

Natalia, who had something to say, kept letting her eyes drift to the invitation letter with lip prints in James' hand.

"Ahem..." The tempered James quickly understood what Natalia wanted to say, and he immediately said to Natalia righteously:

"I wonder if I have the honor to ask the beautiful Miss Natalia to be my only partner at this ball?"

Natalia smiled with satisfaction and nodded to James, her eyes full of sweetness.
