Civilization Guardian Front

"Yes, as you imagined, he was unfortunately involved in trouble..." Holdem nodded.

He was not surprised that the young man in front of him guessed the core of the problem so quickly.

The news that the junior members of the Ishtar family stationed in the directly-operated brothel on Huajie was abducted by unknown people has long been aroused.Now anyone who hears "Happy Street" is basically the first thing that comes to mind.

"The specific situation, I believe these two guys who went to Happy Street with West last night should be able to give you a more detailed explanation."

The leader of the Ioke family pointed his thumb at the members behind him.

As soon as these words came out, the two young men immediately felt the unanimous cold gazes from the girls of the Hestia family.

No matter whether you visit the site overnight or not, it is an indisputable fact that men yearn for such places. The difference is only whether they dare or not, and whether they are necessary or unnecessary.

But young women who have ideals about love, even if they understand this, will still inevitably feel disgusted when facing men who have sought out prostitutes.

Under the gaze of many beautiful girls with good faces, it is very embarrassing to be exposed to the restless side of private life.

The two wriggled their lips, hesitated to speak, wanted to defend themselves, but didn't know where to start.

Unfortunately, Chios was not interested in listening to their irrelevant nonsense at all, so he raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"Time is precious, can I trouble you to tell me the ins and outs in a concise way, with one person giving the lecture and the other making supplements as needed?"

""yes...""

The two who realized the meaning of social death were dejected and began to tell what happened last night...

Things are not complicated.

Because the three adventurers are similar in strength and have similar personalities, and all of them are single, they all have needs for whores in the night city, and they usually form a team together to enter the dungeon.Originally, it was just sharing experience with each other and recommending cost-effective stores to each other. Gradually, it evolved into friends who can meet and play together in Fengyue places.

Returning to the surface yesterday, after changing the magic stones into money, the three of them first ate and drank in the tavern, and when they were full and a little drunk, it was midnight.

I don't remember who was the first to suggest going to Happy Street, but no one objected.

When they came to the Flower Street in Yedu together, the companion who disappeared later fell in love with the fox man in the zashiki of the brothel. He insisted on keeping that whore for two hours.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade their friends and had no intention of spending more than their budget, the two had to make an appointment with each other to meet in the central plaza three hours later, leave the companion temporarily, and go to a familiar store to have fun.

As a result, when the appointed time came, the other party did not show up for a long time.

After waiting for half an hour and no one was seen, the two agreed that this companion probably liked the vulture whore they had spotted, so they spent more Farleys to buy extra sessions when the time came.

Anyway, the other party's money is definitely not enough to cover until the morning. At that time, no matter how much he lingers and forgets to return, he will be thrown out of the shop by the fighting whore and return to the family stronghold in a daze.

"At the time when the siren sounded in Huajie, because we were...uh...concentrating on our current affairs, we didn't take it seriously..." The Ioke Familia members who were in charge of the narrative resisted the urge to ignore the details , finally finished the whole story:

"When we realized that West might be in trouble, it was already this morning. At first, we found out that he hadn't returned to the dormitory. Later, we heard about the kidnapping incident in Huajie last night and the news of the large-scale search by the Ishtar family. Tell the commander about it."

At this moment, Holdem took over the conversation:

"All the clues point to the Ishtar family. I have every reason to suspect that Wester was detained by them without authorization. So, I took them to the Ishtar family headquarters and asked about Wester..."

Having said that, pause for a moment.

"Unexpectedly, the Amazon guarding the door kicked us out with a bad face when they heard "Ioke Familia".Like chasing away a nasty vermin, even warning us to "mind our own business"..."

The breath gradually became thicker, and the gray-haired middle-aged man's hands hanging down his thighs were tightly clenched until the knuckles turned white, obviously recalling the humiliating memories of that time.

"My family leader is worried about the safety of the members, so I'm meddling in my own business? Besides, the dignified A-level faction reacted so aggressively to the name of our E-level family. Doesn't that explain the problem?"

"..." Chios frowned as if affected by the other party's tone.

Ka!

He put down the teacup, his eyes turned cold silently, and asked in a deep voice:

"They don't even want to spend a few seconds listening to you explain why you're here?"

"yes..."

Hodm, who couldn't hide his anger, bowed to the young man who was much younger than him, and sincerely begged:

"Your Excellency "Sword of Dawn" also, for the sake of justice and justice, uphold justice for us. "

Chapter 620 five? Couples quarreling

When this veteran adventurer, who has been engaged in adventure activities for more than 20 years, bent down to ask for the assistance of his family, which has only been established for only two months, his well-trained and strong body looked like a weathered rock , giving people a sense of desolation and old age.

It's not that he feels shameful to bow his head to the "Sword of Dawn" who is stronger than himself.

However, because of his own weakness, he has to rely on others to help him, and the sense of powerlessness that he can do nothing but silently wait for the answer has always surrounded him.

Hodum knew very well that the Ioke family, which was not even ranked among the top among the medium-sized family members, would never be able to compete with the night capital ruling faction that dominated most of the southeastern part of the city and could be called a city within a city.

The other party randomly picked out one of the many superior fighting whores, whose strength was at least equal to or stronger than his own.

There is a disparity of dozens or even hundreds of times in the power balance.

This is also the core issue that worries him the most...

So far, the Ishtar family has never had any enemies with the Hestia family. Even in the last incident of the Mizudu rampage, they also experienced bloody battles with monsters on the 25th floor. Not bad.

Once they break with the Ishtar family, it will be extremely difficult to get the help of the battle whore in the future, and there may be a risk of developing into a full-scale conflict.

Even if Chios himself is not afraid of the sneak attack of the battle whore in the dungeon, even if he faces the "man killer" of Lv.5, he will have no pressure.However, the newly recruited members of the Hestia Familia do not have the same ability.

Regardless of friendship or stakes, Ishtar's weight on the scale is far greater than that of the Iocar family.

Between the two tribes of Ishtar and Ioke, it is completely unknown whether the young people in front of them will stand on the side of the Ioke family for the sake of justice that seems important but is often as light as a feather in actual decision-making.

So far, the image of "Sword of Dawn" is very positive, and it can be described as perfect.

Because of this, after negotiating with the headquarters of the Ishtar family to no avail, and being humiliated in turn, instead of seeking arbitration from the management agency, the first thing Hodm thought of was to come to Piriano Manor and ask Chios shot.

However, when it comes to the pros and cons of one's own faction, for the important figure as the leader, it often takes the lesser of the two powers to harm each other.

Thinking in another way, Holdem doesn't think he is willing to pay so much for a medium-sized family.

Too bad he didn't have a better choice...

Report to the guild, and after being accepted, the guild will definitely submit a "severely worded" statement to the Ishtar family, and the surface work is impeccable.

As for the specific pressure and investigation, it is another matter.

Having served as head of the family for so long, Holdem has long seen the bureaucratic nature of the management agency.

When encountering trivial matters that are easy to deal with, the official naturally does not mind showing its effectiveness by acting vigorously and resolutely.

Conversely, if a difficult problem is encountered, the person in charge will find a way to delay it again and again.That group of talents doesn't care whether the situation will deteriorate or not, as long as they don't explode during their tenure and affect their promotion.

The guild authority doesn't have much coercive power at all for factions with ratings above B...

Using this as a demarcation, it is possible to clearly understand how the governing body will react.

As for the "Ganesha" family of the urban gendarme, since more than half of the main force is sent to the underground city to participate in the joint expedition, it is now quite difficult to maintain the basic order of such a large city, and it is difficult to allocate manpower to deal with the troubles related to the A-level faction. question.

The hope before the eyes of the Ioke family is only the allies "Hestia family".

咑, 咑, 咑...

There was the sound of the index finger tapping the wooden armrest of the seat regularly.

Looking at Chios, who closed his eyes and weighed his thoughts, Hodum swallowed, with beads of sweat appearing faintly on his forehead.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long...

"I already have a clear position in my heart..." At this point, Chios paused for a while, and turned his head to look at the petite goddess sitting on the chaise longue behind him, sitting and listening like a mascot, without expressing any opinions.

"It's just that this matter is subject to God Hestia's thoughts."

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes focused on Hestia.

"Hey?"

The goddess who suddenly became the focus of attention blinked cutely and looked around in confusion.

In all fairness, although the prestige of the Hestia Familia in Orario has risen sharply, when most people mention this rapidly rising faction, the first thing that comes to mind is often not the main god, but the leader "Sword of Dawn".

After all, since the establishment of the Hestia family, almost all the major news are closely related to the deeds of Chios.In contrast, the existence of Hestia, the main god, is only reflected in her petite and delicate appearance and overdeveloped figure.

As a result, everyone completely ignored Hestia's key role in decision-making as the main god, and regarded Chios as the only decision maker.

Even Hestia herself may have gotten used to it unconsciously...

"Hmph, haven't you always made your own decisions..."

Hestia clasped her arms and propped up her majestic chest.

Suddenly remembering her position as the main god, and then recalling the other party's actions in the past that she ignored her and made decisions on her own, the goddess gave the young man a hard look, pouted and complained:

"You who treat me like an idiot and never discuss it with me, why do you suddenly think of me now?"

Seeing Hestia's awkward gesture with the words "Come and appease me" written on her face, everyone present couldn't help feeling ashamed.

what's the situation...

Why does this god alone feel like a couple arguing?

"The situation is different. As your family member, God, I am obliged to meet your material needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so you don't need to worry about money..." Chios stood up apologetically as he spoke.

Came to sit next to Hestia, stretched his hand around the goddess's neck, and wrapped her slender shoulders.

"In addition, gods cannot accompany family members into the dungeon, so all arrangements for adventure, including recruiting newcomers, will be coordinated by me who is more familiar with the maze."

The young man exerted a little force with his hand, so that the goddess Zhen's head rested on his chest, lowered his head close to her ear, and whispered softly:

"However, I'm not qualified to go beyond the bounds of the decision-making that may affect your relationship with other gods. I must get your approval before I can do it. I don't know if this explanation can calm you down a little, my dear Hestie Yashang God?"

"...Uh-huh."

Feeling the hot and humid air staining the sensitive skin of the pinnae, Hestia, who was still sullen a second ago, suddenly blushed.

"Okay, okay, so... what do you think about this?"

"Do you still need to ask..." Chios replied without hesitation:

"I choose justice. "

Chapter 620 Six? Calling All Allies

It was rare that Chios took the initiative to ask the main god for advice, but Hestia had no intention of imposing personal likes and dislikes on the members of the family.

If members of the group help out based on their own wishes, it proves that they are prepared to bear the consequences that follow; if they decide not to help, it is also a conclusion drawn after careful consideration.

No matter which one you choose, it is better than passively accepting the willful decisions made by the gods.

After all, she couldn't share the consequences of her actions with the children of the family, and the worst outcome would be to send them back to the heavens.

The few decades of mortals are but a blink of a finger to the gods.

The difference in the life forms at the two ends of the instant and the eternity is destined to bear different weights when making decisions...

Therefore, she handed over the right to choose to the head of the family.

"I choose justice. "

Despite Chios' previous tone and demeanor and various reactions, Hestia had already guessed the other party's intentions.But when the young man really spoke, he still couldn't help but feel a little weird.

To be precise, it is a sense of disobedience...

Between the powerful Ishtar family and the medium-sized Ioke family, anyone can see that it is thankless to choose the latter.

The Ioke family does not have a deep friendship with their own side, and the other party's experience is certainly sympathetic. From a personal point of view, Hestia also wants to help them.However, from the standpoint of the main god, I have the responsibility to put the pros and cons of my family's children in the first place in my consideration, and I can't be arrogant.

Hestia knew very well that with the nature of the goddess Ishtar, once she took actions that were unfavorable to her, it was almost inevitable that she would be retaliated afterwards.

She believed that Chios could not have thought of this.

Chios has definitely considered it, and has even evaluated in his mind what measures Ishtar will take, thinking about how to prevent it...

After all, the "Qios Pesheim" that Hestia knew was such a terrifyingly meticulous and calm person.

That being the case, why is Chios willing to take the risk of breaking with the Ishtar family in the future?

Hestia always felt that she seemed to have missed some key information.

There is no doubt that Chios must have made an unknown arrangement without telling her...

(Really, when will I learn to be honest with me!?)

Hestia glared at Chios with a displeased face.

However, since Chios dared to offend the Ishtar family, he must have a corresponding plan in his heart.
