Chapter 31 Reasons
Badia Island.
Hospital.
"Although the head was hit, the strange thing is that the impact was not strong. It will be fine if you rest for a while."
"Well, I understand, please, doctor." The flying squirrel nodded expressionlessly.
The doctor gave him a complicated look, then walked out of the ward with a gloomy expression.
In the empty ward, Flying Squirrel looked at the unconscious man lying on the hospital bed, pursed his lips, and let out a long breath.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!"
Not far away, Jiaji roared with red eyes, punching the wall one after another.
The dust on the wall shook off.
On the gray walls, holes with blood stains appeared.
"She called me uncle...she called me uncle!!!"
Jiaji roared like a wild beast.
Blood seeped out of his fists, but he didn't notice it.
Gion sat motionless next to the hospital bed, his eyes closed, and the fingers of his hands intertwined between his eyebrows.
At a certain moment, she suddenly stood up.
His delicate eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he turned to stare at the man standing by the window smoking a cigarette.
"Darren!!"
"Why do you still have the heart to smoke!!"
An inexplicable anger rushed into her throat, making her voice hoarse.
"Didn't you say you are the overlord of Beihai!?"
"Don't you think you are very powerful?"
Watching Darren finish smoking one cigarette, he immediately lit another one.
The anger in Gion's heart became even more intense, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"--Please speak!!"
She bit her red lips tightly, so hard that she even drew a shocking blood mark.
"call……"
Darren exhaled a long puff of smoke and flicked the ashes as if turning a deaf ear.
In the ashtray placed on the windowsill, cigarette butts had piled up into a hill.
The ward was eerily silent.
It's like a tomb where people's hearts are buried.
The flying squirrel looked at Gion, who suddenly roared at Darren, and opened his mouth. In the end, he couldn't say anything, with a complicated look on his face.
"if not?"
The navy captain's voice suddenly broke the silence.
Gion was stunned.
She saw a hint of sarcasm slowly rising from the corner of the navy captain's mouth.
Darren turned around slowly and sneered.
As he spoke, he glanced at the clock on the wall.
The color on Gion's face gradually faded.
Speechless.
Yes, what else can we do?
Not to mention a mere Admiral of Beihai and Colonel of the headquarters, I am afraid that even if the Warring States general is present...he will not be able to change the ending of the story.
That's a Celestial Dragon.
The world's noble Celestial Dragons possess all the privileges in the world.
If they dare to take action, let alone the navy present, I am afraid that the entire civilian population of Badia Island will lose their lives because of their stupidity and impulsiveness.
"I...am I still alive...?"
At this time, an extremely weak voice suddenly sounded.
Gion and others were startled when they heard the sound, and quickly turned around.
I saw the man raising his heavy eyelids with difficulty and slowly waking up.
"Lea...Lea..."
He murmured in despair, and suddenly saw Darren standing by the window smoking out of the corner of his eye, and was suddenly shocked.
"Lord Marine...Lord Darren..."
He gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up from the hospital bed, but fell weakly from the bed to the ground.
"You should have a good rest first..." Gion eagerly stepped forward to help him, but was rejected by the latter with a wave of his hand.
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his desperate eyes stared at Darren's side face pleadingly.
"Lord Darren...you saved me..."
As soon as he said this, Gion and Kake next to him were stunned at the same time.
At the same time, they remembered what the doctor said just now.
The impact was not very strong...
Could it be...
They all reacted when they saw that the buckle of the man's belt was clearly made of metal on his dirty clothes.
"Since you survived, let's live well."
Darren took a drag on his cigarette, looked at the man calmly, and said calmly:
"Under my rule, no civilians will be allowed to die abnormally."
"No, Lord Darren..."
The man knelt on the ground and looked at the naval captain with a sad expression.
"Please, save my daughter..."
"When she was very young, her mother died of illness..."
"She is a very well-behaved child, very sensible, never cries or makes trouble, and she also helps me sell flowers on the street..."
"Selling flowers..." The man suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning.
Snapped! !
He slapped himself hard and cried loudly.
"It's all my fault... If I had been more capable, if I hadn't let her run to the street to sell flowers... none of this would have happened..."
The man burst into tears and banged his forehead on the floor.
"Please, Lord Darren...save Leah...she is everything to me..."
"As long as you save her, I can do anything."
"I can be your servant, I can kill people for you, my garden... and my money, you can take anything..."
"Please..."
He frantically rummaged through the mud-stained clothes on his body, and took out a few crumpled, mud-stained banknotes and a pile of coins from his pocket.
As if due to physical weakness, his hands continued to tremble, and the coins slipped from his hands and scattered all over the place with a clanking sound.
The coin spun on the ground, with mud and blood on its surface, and finally fell.
The smooth surface reflects the light and shadow of the world.
And the stern face of the naval captain.
"No, you don't understand me."
Darren said calmly.
He glanced at the clock on the wall again, then put out the cigarette in his hand, raised his hand to take off the white cloak hanging on the coat rack, and draped it behind his back.
The magnificent and cold "Justice" slowly spread out on his broad back, undulating like ocean waves.
Brewing endless iron and blood.
The man stared blankly at the naval captain in front of him, confusion written on his pale face.
Seeing this, Darren sighed softly and stared into the man's eyes.
"I'll say it again...under my rule, no civilians will be allowed to die abnormally."
He glanced at the banknotes in the man's hand and the coins scattered on the floor.
"As for money..."
Darren smiled,
"I've already received it."
After saying this, Darren took steps towards the door of the ward.
"You...where are you going?"
Gion couldn't help but ask.
Somehow, there was an uneasy premonition in her heart.
Jiaji was also staring closely at Darren's back, blood dripping from his fists.
"It's almost time."
Darren didn't look back and just said something in a calm tone.
time?
Gion and Kaki were stunned.
They suddenly remembered a detail.
Ever since they entered the ward, Darren had been glancing at the clock on the wall from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Before they could react, Darren had already walked out of the ward.
Walking in the cold, long corridor of the hospital, the crisp footsteps of military boots were heard.
Darren's eyes gradually became cold and unruly.
"Darren!"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Darren stopped and turned to look at the flying squirrel who was following quickly.
The latter pondered for a moment,
"Before the incident happened, Major Gion had an encounter with the little girl and bought flowers from her... Major Gion did not mean it..."
"I know."
Darren interrupted.
He looked at the flying squirrel in front of him and smiled:
"It seems you have a good impression of Gion."
The flying squirrel smiled bitterly, with a flash of emotion in his eyes.
"There are too few people like her in this sea who purely stick to justice."
Darren said nothing.
This is true.
So this is why he doesn't hate Gion.
Her anger was not directed at herself.
She herself knew very well that no one could change the outcome of the matter in full view of the public.
Her anger was more directed at herself.
Anger at one's own incompetence.
Anger at the impotence of justice.
Anger at the injustice of the world.
"Any thing else?"
Darren asked again.
The flying squirrel was silent for a moment,
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"No navy has ever done anything like this."
"You do this...you don't have to..."
He hesitated.
Darren suddenly smiled and said:
"Flying squirrel, did you know?"
"You're right. I do have many, many reasons not to go. I can even count dozens of them casually..."
"This world is filled with all kinds of tragedies, and the ones caused by the Celestial Dragons are countless. I am just an admiral of Beihai, and I can't control them at all;"
"If I do this, it is very likely that I will get burned. Once I am discovered, no one can protect me;"
"As a navy, you should have understood long ago that the navy serves the world government. Although you are angry inside, you can just get used to it;"
"There is no need to take such a big risk for a strange little girl. If I am not careful, everything I have finally built in Beihai will be in vain..."
"Yes, there are too many reasons not to go."
Darren smiled,
"And I can only think of two reasons for me to go."
"However, these two reasons are enough to overturn all the above reasons for not going."
He spoke word by word, his tone unruly and cold, like cold nails piercing deeply into the air.
"First, Beihai is my territory, and I will not allow such things to happen in my territory...even if he is a Tianlong."
"Second, that guy's expression was so disgusting that it made me have the urge to kill him."
Darren grinned almost cruelly.
"——Still the kind that I can't control no matter what."
