"…Shirako-chan." Hoshino Takanashi helplessly glanced at his junior who was very easy to understand and whose thoughts and ideas were directly reflected in his actions. He sighed, "You could actually put me down first and then go to protect the teacher closely. There's no need to hold me all the time." "No." Sand Wolf Baizi decisively rejected his senior's suggestion and said seriously, "Teacher and Senior Hoshino both need close protection, otherwise they will disappear if we are not careful." Hoshino Takanari's brain suddenly froze, and for a moment, it seemed as if there were countless words and emotions that he couldn't help but pour out from his heart, but these words and emotions turned into countless shapeless syllables when they reached his mouth, and he couldn't utter a single word when he opened his mouth. Hoshino Kotori just stayed in the arms of Baizi Sand Wolf in a daze, until she left the teaching building and the sunlight hit her face, she suddenly came to her senses. "Don't worry, Shirako-chan~" Hoshino Takanashi laughed "Hehehehe" and jumped down with a whoosh. The girl turned around, stood on tiptoe, reached out and gently smoothed the blue scarf on the sand wolf's neck that was wrinkled by her, and adjusted it to a more comfortable position, "Uncle, I will definitely protect you." "..." Sand Wolf Baizi didn't say anything, but just stared at his predecessor with distrust, but he also obediently let the other party adjust his scarf.
Si Wang withdrew his gaze from the girls who were interacting harmoniously and lovingly, turned his head to look outside the window in the direction where the Caesar Group was gathering, and sighed. What a trouble! What a trouble! Si Wang unconsciously scratched his nails which had become pointed due to not being taken care of for a few days. Shirako-san, Hoshino-san, it's okay for you to be a little slow, a little hesitant, or pretend to be ignorant. If things are delayed any further, it will become very, very, very troublesome. The [aphid] lying under Caesar's collar licked the six sharp legs one by one, leaving a pool of transparent saliva that reflected the luster of hunger. Reality is not a fairy tale. There is no magic or miracles. At the last moment, there will be no destined hero descending from the sky to defeat the evil boss, save the companions in desperate situation, and usher in a happy ending. Suffering is suffering, and pain is pain. They can neither open the road to happiness nor make people understand how to grasp happiness. They will only make people cry, shed tears, and leave a wound in their hearts that will never heal. [Aphid] flapped its wings and landed on the collar that was attached to the back of Caesar's head. Its blood-red eyes reflected Caesar's fragile stamina. After much thought, I, as a teacher, prefer to be the creator who directly solves the problem rather than solving the problem itself. After all, the problems are infinite— But humans are limited. Chapter 136 Sorry, the tank can't hold so many people Rumble! Rumble! The sound of rolling tracks echoed in the streets and alleys of Abydos. As more and more mechanical soldiers painted blue and black appeared, one sand-yellow tanks and combat vehicles after another broke into the city of Abydos. "Don't worry about the obstructing debris nearby. They are all junk that are destined to be demolished. Just drive over them!" Caesar stood with his arms folded on his chest at the machine gun position of a main battle tank. He leaned his upper body out of the tank and looked around at the deserted streets with a look of disdain.
He waved his hand. "For those who dare to stand in our way, whether it is a person or an object, just fire at them!" A stream of information flashed across the mechanical soldier's eyepiece, and a neat, dull, and unmoving voice rang out. "As you command, Caesar is the wise representative." Hearing the word "representative" before "director", Caesar frowned unhappily, and a nameless fire rose from the bottom of his heart. He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and occasionally glanced around. Suddenly, he found that a late-night snack truck dared to park on the side of the road, blocking his way. The anger that he had just suppressed in his heart suddenly rushed out and hit his forehead. "Soldiers!" Caesar stared at the small wooden car that was not even half the height of a tank. His gloomy voice penetrated the radio beside his ears, "Blow up that annoying platform!" "Yes, it means I am sensible." Hearing the reply from the headphones, Caesar became even angrier. Om-! The turret was in motion, and a harsh and low roar came along with the mechanical sound of gears meshing. The 120mm gun barrel was like a black hole that swallowed everything, slowly aiming at the small wooden cart that was shaking under the vibration. Bang! Fire spurted out of the muzzle, and almost in an instant, a black shadow pierced through the thick smoke and dust, and disappeared in the air, dragging a blurry afterimage that was invisible to the naked eye. boom! The sudden burst of fire covered the sun's brilliance for a moment, taking away all colors in the field of vision, leaving only a bright white. The next moment, it was like a thunder exploding on the ground in a storm. Black smoke wrapped in flames rumbled up and rolled towards the sky, like a giant dark claw reaching from hell to the world, and in the gaps between the black muscles of this giant claw, ominous blood light flashed. Rolling heat waves erupted from the center, sweeping up dust and rubble, raising a giant black-grey wall like a tsunami, pressing down in all directions, causing people to subconsciously bend over and raise their hands to protect their faces. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Caesar's brows furrowed even more tightly. As the smoke and dust slowly fell back to the ground, a corner of a blast shield painted with the white emblem of the Abydos sun and dunes slowly emerged. "Oh my, this is really dangerous." The black explosion-proof shield was folded up, and a pink head with upright crescent-shaped hair appeared from behind. Hoshino Kotori turned his head and looked at the small wooden cart behind him which was just covered with a layer of dust. He patted his chest with a thankful expression and said, "Luckily we arrived in time, otherwise I really don't know how I would explain to the owner of this stall later~" Whoosh--whoosh--whoosh-- boom! boom! boom! Several individual cruise missiles with long flame tails came down from the sky and blew down several mechanical soldiers who tried to launch a sneak attack in the blind spot of Kotori Yuxingye's vision. A four-wing drone circled and descended, and a man named Baizi Sand Wolf holding an assault rifle walked out of the smoke, with the muzzle of the gun faintly pointed at Caesar's forehead. "Hehe, I just wanted to come in early to clean the new house, but I didn't expect someone to come out to greet me." Caesar raised his hand to stop the mechanical soldiers from behind from pressing forward, trying to surround Hoshino Kotori and Shiroko Sandar. He looked down at the two men who were as tiny as ants in front of Caesar's army, "I am really moved." Hoshino Kotori looked up at the arrogant guy standing on the tank, frowning unconsciously, "You were at that time..." "Ok?"
The sharp gaze of Hoshino Takanashi pierced Caesar's nerves in an instant. Caesar subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze, with a look of surprise on his face, "I remember that you were the student council president who was targeted by the [Number Secret Technique] before... No, you were the vice president, right?" "..." Listening to the approaching footsteps of Sand Wolf White behind him, and the junior schoolmate Ayane and the teacher who were silently observing the situation here through the wireless, Hoshino Takanashi closed his mouth and answered in silence. "I didn't expect you to show up here and stand in front of me. That means you reject our previous proposal." But Caesar didn't need Hoshino Kotori's answer at all. He couldn't help but sneer twice, "Those ignorant guys of [Numerology] patted their chests so loudly in front of me, but in the end they are just a bunch of useless trash. They can't even handle a little student, and I need to do it myself! It's just a joke!" "Senior Hoshino..." The image of Okumura Ayane appeared in the air. She looked at Caesar, who was extremely arrogant, and then looked at Hoshino Kotori, who seemed to have made a deal with Caesar and was at a disadvantage. She showed a worried look, "Do you know him...?" The sand wolf Baizi also stared quietly into the eyes of the little bird You Xingye. Hoshino Kotori was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "He is the representative director of Caesars Group." "That's right, Abydos. I originally thought that we should be old friends who are very familiar with each other. I didn't expect that you still don't know me. It's really sad." Caesar placed his hands on the tank's armor, straightened his back, and looked down at the people of Abydos below with his chin, "To be precise, he should be the director of Caesar Corporation, Caesar Loan, and Caesar Construction." "Caesar Loan..." Sand Wolf Baizi's ears twitched, and he subconsciously tightened the grip of the assault rifle in his hand, "...director!" "That's right!" Caesar stretched out his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the whole sky, and laughed arrogantly, "That's the Caesar loan who lent money to your Abydos High School!" "I understand." Sand Wolf Baizi nodded and took off the high-explosive grenade hanging from his waist without hesitation, "You are the culprit who has been deceiving us and squeezing Abydos, right!" "..." Hoshino Kotori reached out and pressed down the finger of Baizi Sand Wolf who was about to pull off the pull ring. Facing the puzzled eyes behind her, the girl shook her head silently. "Forget it. There's nothing to show off with you clueless students. It's just a waste of my time." Caesar did not see the panic and angry expression he expected, and shook his head in boredom. He looked around and suddenly shouted, "Si Wang, you have been watching the excitement for so long and you are still not coming out. Aren't you tired of it?" Chapter 137 How come no one cares about you~ "Ahem, sound check~sound check, is this thing turned on by pressing this button?" Suddenly, there was a chaotic noise in the air, accompanied by a thudding sound like someone hitting a microphone. The noise that rolled up and down like waves gradually subsided, and Si Wang's blurry upper body slowly emerged in the projection. "Hoshino-san, can you see the picture now?" "I can see it clearly, teacher~" Facing Si Wang's sudden greeting, Hoshino Kotori almost instantly put on his usual lazy expression and responded, but his eyes were still fixed on Caesar's Legion, alert to their every move. "Sorry, sorry, teacher, this is my first time using such an advanced gadget, so it took me a while." Si Wang's left hand kept scrolling through the manual that Ayane Okumura had sent to his phone, while his right hand was idle for a moment, operating on another screen. After a while, the originally blurry and flickering image gradually became clear, at least people could see the apologetic expression on his face, "By the way, how far have you progressed?"
"Hmm..." Hoshino Kotori looked up at Caesar, who was sitting on the tank with his arms folded across his chest, looking very relaxed. "It has progressed to the point where we are meeting the leader of the Caesar Group." "Huh, Si Wang, didn't you reject my proposal with a confident look yesterday?" Looking down at Si Wang's half-body image floating in the air, Caesar sneered disdainfully, "Why are you hiding behind your students today? You don't even dare to show your face, and you only dare to send a projection to appear in front of me?" "Ah, there's nothing I can do about it. After hearing that you had brought out the tanks, the kids refused to let me be there in person. They said it would be the same even if they watched through the cameras, so there was no need for me to be there in person." Si Wang seemed to have just noticed Caesar. He showed a surprised expression at first, then shrugged helplessly, "Just like I couldn't directly reject your deal yesterday and had to ask for Qinxiang's opinion. You know it's always difficult for me to refuse other people's kindness. I can't refuse your kindness, so I have to have a second meeting with you in this situation. Please forgive me." "You are still as talkative as you were yesterday, and there is no change at all!" The disdain in Caesar's eyes became even stronger. In his opinion, Si Wang's words were nothing more than an excuse for his cowardice. He suddenly regretted his previous cautious attitude. If he had known that Si Wang was just a coward who only dared to hide behind his students, he should have brought his army directly to attack after the failure of [Convenience House 68]. What's the point of bribery and buying off? But it's not too late. Thinking of this, Caesar couldn't help but loosen his tight cuffs and looked down at Si Wang with a condescending attitude, "Forget about those students who know nothing and are still living in the cradle. I believe that the teacher must understand the purpose of my coming here today." "Yeah." Si Wang didn't retort this time, but nodded as if he understood, "I understand roughly." "Hmph, I understand." Caesar raised the corner of his mouth in a satisfied arc, and Si Wang's hateful smile suddenly looked much more pleasing to the eye. But it’s still annoying! Caesar's expression changed, "Then take your students and get out of here!" "What do you mean get away? You are the ones who need to get away!" Kuromi Serika, who had been observing this place secretly, finally couldn't sit still anymore. An angry black cat head image suddenly appeared in the air. The girl's neck, cheeks and eyes were all red, and her voice became violent. "This is our Abydos territory! It's you who illegally invaded! It's you who provoked the fight! We can use any means to make you bastards get away!" Kuromi Serika was obviously very angry at Caesar's arrogant attitude and even swore at him. "That's right!" Ayane Okumura nodded seriously. "Even if Caesar Group is Abydos's creditor, it is still a serious violation of the law for you to lead the army into Abydos without Abydos's permission. We will definitely report it to the [Federation Student Union]!" "Hehe, you're still talking about reporting to the Federal Student Union. Could it be that Xia Lai's appearance has given you a weird illusion that someone really cares about you?" Hearing Okumura Ayane's stern warning, Caesar couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture, "Your cell phone should be with you, so how about giving it a try now?" "..." Okumura Ayane fell silent. "You should have begged the [Federal Student Union] many times before this happened, right? In the end, did they take any action even once?" Caesar looked at the gloomy faces of these students who had repeatedly thwarted his plans recently and caused him to be pointed at and ridiculed by other directors in the board meeting. A sense of pleasure that he couldn't and didn't want to stop surged from the bottom of his heart. "Even if it's not the [Federation Student Union], so far, you, your seniors, and your seniors should have almost visited all the schools in Kivotos. Has any school ever extended a helping hand to you?" Caesar's voice became louder and louder, and the joy on his face became more and more arrogant, "It's about time to wake up from your mother's arms and face the fact that -
No one will be willing to lend a helping hand to you!" "..." "..." "..." "..." "..."
