Chapter 123 Blue Star’s Wine Table Culture
Regarding the note Lianghe received stating that Thoreau was a bounty hunter, Holder reported it to Huo An as soon as possible.
At that time, he thought Huo An was still in the Tianyao Star Reserve, but he never thought that he had already checked into the hotel and investigated Thoreau based on his intelligence.
"Thoreau is a bounty hunter hired by Vulcan to capture Liang He. He will definitely have contact with the rebels by then. If you can get close to him and get some information, it will be more beneficial to our next actions. ”
Thoreau always thought that he was hiding well, and he also wanted to get close to Liang He. It was better to let Holder get information from him without being easily detected.
Huo An figured out how to calculate the general's plan.
"Okay, no problem."
Holder is good at making clichés. Moreover, in the past few contacts with Thoreau, he found that this kid is not as smart as him and can easily handle it.
"By the way, someone seemed to be peeping and following Liang He last night, but when I opened the door, he was gone."
Speaking of this, Holder had a headache. He felt that as soon as Liang He went out, he would be targeted by various forces, which made him jump from a salty fish who just eats and drinks to a hard-working bodyguard.
"Ahem, that's me."
Huo An raised his hand a little embarrassed, put his fist to his mouth, and coughed twice.
"I originally wanted to find you, but I happened to see Liang He coming back, so I had no choice but to give up and hide. Unexpectedly, she still noticed me."
Speaking of this, Huo An also had to praise Liang He's safety awareness and good vigilance, at least he didn't have to worry too much.
Moreover, the platinum giant lion basically sticks to her side all the time, which is equivalent to a bodyguard.
Don't look at Cyril's usual mischief, coquettishness, and cuteness. If he can become an SSS-level orc, his combat effectiveness will not be low. Even in the evolutionary stage, he cannot be underestimated.
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Otherwise, the three forces of the rebels, Elius and Thoreau alone would be enough to give him a headache, and with the addition of a missing person, he would be too passive.
"Uncle, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first. If you stay too long, I'm afraid of being noticed."
"Okay, pay attention to safety and be careful in everything."
When Holder came, no one noticed, and when he left, it was silent.
After he successfully left Huo An's floor, he began to think about how to extract words from Thoreau.
This kid has been trying to get the news about Liang He out of him, so why not take advantage of this and use the opposite trick? His mind is not very bright anyway.
Thoreau, who was not aware that he was about to be tricked, was attending a lecture with Liang He, and there was a huge light bulb lying next to him.
"Hey, why did Cyril come to class with you today?"
Although after the incident with the elephant group, Lianghe and Cyril became famous after a battle. Cyril, as a large beast, was made an exception and allowed to enter the teaching venue. However, Lianghe was afraid that he would be bored, so he basically let Holder take care of him temporarily.
"Holder has something to do and it's not convenient to take Cyril with him."
In addition to attending classes in the past few days, Liang He also had to go see the baby elephants and comfort the elephants so as not to cause the same situation as that day again.
The platinum giant lion only had more chances to stick to her at night, but she had to avoid him at night and video chat with Blue Falcon and the others. All in all, they only had time to stay together during bedtime.
Therefore, when the platinum giant lion found out that Liang He could stay with him today, he was overjoyed. Even if he was listening to boring people and giving boring lectures, he was very happy.
"That's it."
Thoreau's eyes flashed, and he was a little curious about what happened to Holder that would delay him from taking care of the platinum lion.
"If Holder needs help with anything, just tell me and don't be polite."
Thoreau, who had made up his mind to establish a good relationship with Liang He and the others, never expected that Holder would treat him as a free young man with his casual words.
After finally getting to the end of get out of class, Thoreau was about to invite Liang He to have dinner with him, but he was intercepted by Evelin's mother and daughter who were waiting at the door in advance.
"Lianghe, I ordered a seafood dinner from Blue Star tonight, shall we eat together?"
Ever since they were given various Blue Star delicacies by Liang He, Evelin and Beibei have completely abandoned nutritional supplements and ate in different ways every day. Seafood is freshly shipped by air every day, and the supply is limited, so you need to make a reservation in advance.
Evelin didn't want to use too many privileges in front of her daughter, so she queued up honestly and waited for two days before her turn came.
"Okay."
As soon as he heard that there was a seafood feast, Liang He's eyes lit up instantly, and he ran towards the restaurant with the platinum giant lion.
When Lianghe was in the Tianyao Star Reserve, it was difficult to eat seafood because the seventh service area was mainly grassland and separated from the sea by such a long distance.
She was too embarrassed to bother Huo An and use her status as the webmaster to do something special, so she had to give up.
"Eh? Lianghe..."
Thoreau, who didn't have time to say that he wanted to go too, saw Liang He about to leave. Just as he was about to shout, Holder covered his mouth as he rushed over.
"Brother, Liang He and the Third Princess are chatting about girls. Why are you joining in the fun? Come with me."
Holder ruthlessly dragged Thoreau away to an outdoor restaurant, determined not to give Thoreau a chance to get close to Lianghe.
Unable to escape from his clutches, Thoreau had no choice but to eat with Holder honestly.
He comforted himself in his heart that it was not impossible to get news from Holder.
"Come on, brother, this is Blue Star's specialty skewers. Have you ever tried it? Pair it with this wine. It tastes amazing. Try it!"
In order to complete the cliché mission, Holder specifically searched for ways to build closer relationships, and found that Blue Star people usually talked about things over a wine table. After all, they spoke the truth after drinking.
Thoreau, who was drinking for the first time, was really attracted. He sniffed it curiously and took a cautious sip. The feeling hit his forehead.
"Hi~ha!"
This wine is really unpleasant and delicious at the same time. The more I drink, the better it gets!
However, Thoreau did not forget his mission. Whenever he had the opportunity, he wanted to make some excuses, but Holder avoided or changed the subject without any trace.
Since he couldn't avoid it, Holder just said a few perfunctory words. Anyway, when Thoreau sobered up tomorrow and asked, he would say that he remembered it wrong.
"No, I can't drink anymore."
Halfway through, Thoreau wanted to back off, but was forced to drink by Holder's wine table culture.
"Oh, how can I not drink? Do you not regard me as a brother?"
"Come on, come on, let me give you a drink, brother!"
"Brother, if you don't drink, you are not giving me face and looking down on me!"
In this way, under the siege of Holder's perfunctory answers and a sip of wine, Thoreau quickly surrendered.
"Well, Huo... burp! Hall... burp! I can't... can't, can't... drink... burp anymore!"
Thoreau, whose face was red from drinking and couldn't hold his tongue straight, kept belching wine while waving his hands to refuse Holder's attempt to persuade him to drink again.
The first time he drank, he was drunk so much that he couldn't hold it any longer.
"Hiccup! Thoreau, are we... hiccup, good brothers?!"
While Thoreau was still dizzy and still unconscious, Holder was ready to say something.
"Good brothers? Hiccup...yes! Yes! We...hiccup! We are good hiccup...brothers!"
Thoreau, who was so drunk that he was lying on the table, straightened up when he heard the word "good brothers" and patted his chest and said that they were good brothers.
Don't miss the opportunity, it will never come back.
Because they had been drinking for too long, all the guests in the outdoor restaurant had left, and they were the only table left. The waiter asked them to pay their bills before getting off work, and they could just leave immediately after eating, so Holder didn't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
"Okay! Since we are good brothers, can you tell me how you plan to rob Lianghe?"
