Chapter 262 Ordinary Daily Life, Part 1

"My dear, there is nothing of note on the sea during this time?"

Beside the island's central lake with thousands of maples and locust trees, Lex and Gion leaned lazily against each other, looking bored.

Gion heard Lex's question and fluttered his eyelids, then closed them again:

"Ah, something worth noting? Let me think about it. Hmm... Hmm... No! Do you never read newspapers? No! Morgans are all your people, right? Is there anything you need to ask me? ~"

"That's true, but what they reported to me is definitely different from what my beautiful, generous, elegant and lovely wife told me."

Hearing this, Gion's pretty face blushed slightly. Although they are an old couple, it is undeniable that Gion is only a 20-and-a-half-year-old girl this year.

"Hmph, I won't be happy even if you say that, but there are indeed things worth paying attention to on the sea recently."

Gion said one thing and one thing, and although he said that he would not be happy, he still honestly told his recent experience:

"I went to Beihai last time to carry out a special extermination mission. Because the local naval base in Beihai was helpless against the enemy, the headquarters asked me to go there and accumulate merit by the way."

"After I went there, I first wiped out several pirate groups. But the strange thing is that the strength of these pirate groups is not at the level of the Four Seas. Even if they were placed in Paradise, their bounties would be over 100 million. I found it very strange at the time and felt that there was someone behind these pirate groups."

"So I sent people to search their criminal records and found out that they were helping a certain force sell new arms. Then, hehe, I followed the clues and wiped out the arms dealer behind them. Hehe~ Awesome, isn't it~"

Having said that, Gion raised his chin proudly, with an obvious intention of showing off.

But it's also true that for Gion's current admiral-level combat power, the North Sea is no different from the Novice Village. Even if a few elite monsters appear occasionally, they can be chopped down in just a few strokes.

Lex also smiled politely:

"My dear, you did a great job. You successfully ruined our arms business in the North Sea, resulting in a loss of at least 30 billion Baileys."

"Ah?!?~~"

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance? Maybe I would have kept that arms dealer."

For Gion, who has been with Lex for a long time, his own Bailey is more important than the illusory justice. If those arms dealers did not make money, how could Gion maintain his consumption level that is comparable to or even exceeds that of the Celestial Dragons?

Just look at the desserts and snacks that Gion eats every day. Many of them are exquisite delicacies that even the Celestial Dragons cannot eat. However, Gion can eat them non-stop as snacks. The expenditure behind this can be imagined. And Gion's clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics are all more than what the average Celestial Dragons spend.

After all, Gion himself is a Celestial Dragon, and these are just Gion's basic expenses.

At this moment, Gion was very upset. He thought it was a military achievement, but he never thought that it was his own business that went bankrupt, or because of himself~

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lex. I really didn't know. Why didn't anyone remind me? Why didn't Uncle Gutt and Roy remind me?"

"Hmm, maybe they think that your military achievements are more important than the small businesses in the North Sea. Or maybe the arms dealers in the North Sea have second thoughts, so Uncle Gut and the others are using you to handle it."

For Lex, the arms business in the North Sea was too insignificant. Compared with the happiness of his own wife, the arms dealers in the North Sea deserved their deaths. He believed that even if they died, they would be killed by Gion with a smile.

"Well, that's not right, why didn't you tell me?"

Gion was confused.

As everyone knows, the information network under Lex's command is like a tightly stitched spider web, covering the entire Qinghai. As long as he wants, there is almost nothing in this world that he doesn't know. He even knows what flavor of donuts Garp ate today and what color underwear Zhan Guo wore today.

But Lex did not remind Gion, otherwise, Gion could just pretend to be in the North Sea, and both gain military merit and serve as a "protective umbrella" for his own business.

Lex smiled faintly:

"My dear, I know nothing about this sea in the past six months. Except for very important matters, my second brother and his family will not bother me. It can be said that I am isolated from the world."

"Ah? Are you so lazy? Unlike me, I work hard in Marinford~"

“…Hmm…”

Just as Lex said, during this period of time, Lex did not go out of the house and just stayed in Fenghuai Qianli. Apart from occasionally guiding Barrett's training, he did nothing.

At Lex's current level, the possibility of making progress through hard training is very slim. Even if he wants to break through himself through fighting and facing life-and-death crises, he will not succeed every time like in the past.

To put it bluntly, except for the absolute attack power, Lex is at the god-level in all other aspects, and is an absolute quasi-god.

Unfortunately, except Lex himself, no one in the world knows Lex’s true combat power now, and Lex does not intend to expose it, especially to Im.

If Im knew that Lex's combat power was now infinitely close to his, then this god of the Void Throne would not be able to sit still. He would probably gather all the power in the world to kill him first.

And this is also the last chance for Im to kill Lex in his life.

Unfortunately, Im in the flower room does not know Rex's true combat power. He only thinks that he is about the same as Rocks, and there is still a huge gap between him and God.

However, considering that there are too many forces behind Lex, eliminating Lex is completely not worth the cost and will consume too much of the government's energy, making it impossible to deal well with the upcoming prophecy of the 800-year agreement.

So, Im adopted the same tactical attitude towards Lex now - pretending to be submissive, granting Lex the status of executive prime minister on the surface, but in fact better restraining him, clamping him, and attacking him secretly.

Lex took a deep breath and stood up:

"Well, dear, I should take you to Marinford."

Gion heard this, but his face was full of reluctance:

"Ah?~ I don't want to! I want to continue lying here and not go anywhere!~"

Lex smiled:

"But, you just said, 'I'm lazy, and you work hard in Marinford', have you forgotten?"

"Ah this!~ I don't care!"

Without giving Gion a chance to refuse, Lex's body glowed with azure blue light, and the same happened to Gion.

Looking at the dreamy fluorescent blue light and feeling the weightlessness of being trapped in a different space, Gion hated Rex's convenient ability of the Space Fruit more than ever before. She didn't even have time to react, and couldn't even enjoy the last moments of her vacation. She had to go to Marinford again.

"Ah!~ Honey, I don't want to go to work, I want to stay in Fenghuai Qianli~"

"Ah."

Lex hummed lightly, but still increased the speed of the space fruit's journey.

Gion frowned, looking upset and wanting to cry:

"Lex, tell me! Tell me the truth!~ Do you not love me anymore?~ Tell me!~~"

Lex smiled slightly:

"correct."

"Since you still love me, then—eh?!!~?~ What did you just say? Right?!~ What do you mean by right? You can't be, you can't be, do you really have someone else out there? Ah! Ahhhh!~ You bastard!~"

Gion was so aggrieved that tears were about to burst out of her eyes. She pouted her lips, grabbed the corner of Lex's clothes tightly, and tried to look Lex in the eye.

Lex smiled helplessly:

"Okay, stop pretending, dear. This is not the way to Marinford. This is the way to the Flower Kingdom Food Street in the West Sea. Are you satisfied?"

Gion's expression instantly changed, and he looked arrogant:

"Hmph!~ Pretending? Are you questioning my acting skills?"

"..."

"Hehe~ If I hadn't cried a few times, you would have definitely sent me to Marinford. It's only thanks to my cleverness that I’m here—"

Before Gion could finish his words, the scene around him changed in light and shadow, and when he came to his senses again, he was already in the food street of the Kingdom of Flowers.

Surrounded by bustling and lively shops of all kinds, delicious and fragrant aromas waft from afar, and the noisy and lively atmosphere of fireworks and the city are the characteristics of the Kingdom of Flowers.

In front of him was Lex, holding his hand, looking intently at the entire food street.

Gion suddenly felt that her man might, probably, should, could, perhaps, be the best man in the world! ~

"Yes for sure!"

Lex suddenly spoke, staring at Gion's gradually reddening face teasingly.

Gion reacted belatedly:

"Aaaah!~ Don't read my mind!~ Bad taste!~"

“Hmm hahahaha!~”
