160: Chapter 160 Reencounter with Gerrard
The next morning, as soon as Wei He walked out of his room, he saw the Radiation Engineers waiting outside. One of them was holding the lost bracelet, which yesterday had been a dark red color.
"This really is a treasure! It even has a faint purple glow! Do you guys know what kind of treasure this is? What's it used for?" Wei He stared at the treasure, his mind racing. Since this was an item from Emperor Alexander's body, it definitely wasn't simple.
"Report, Commander! We do not know!" the three Radiation Engineers replied in unison to Wei He's question.
"Uh, never mind. You're not from this world anyway, so asking you is pointless. I'd better go ask them!" After saying this, Wei He headed towards the base command room.
"Old Huang, take a quick look! What kind of treasure is this?" Wei He opened the door to the base command room, and sure enough, Huang Yichen was already waiting there. Wei He hurriedly took out the bracelet.
"I don't know either. I've never seen anything like this before! Hehe!" Huang Yichen scratched his head awkwardly and smiled politely.
"What about those two? They might know what this is. I'm telling you, this equipment fell from Emperor Alexander himself; it's definitely a treasure!" Wei He thought that since those two girls had been in the Magic Empire for so long, they must know.
"They went out drinking! They went last night and haven't come back yet!" Huang Yichen explained slowly to Wei He.
"What? With those three old things, and one of them still alive, how can they be so carefree?" Wei He's expression at that moment was truly a sight. If they ran into Austin, they'd be done for right then and there.
"That's why they went together! They can watch out for each other!" Huang Yichen's lips curled up slightly as he said with a smile.
"Forget it, let them be. Let's talk business first. Now that the king of the Magic Empire is dead, how can we legitimately rule the empire?" Before crossing over, Wei He was just a student. If it weren't for the red alert system, he might have died on his very first day here. With the help of the red alert system, defeating the Magic Empire was easy. But ruling this country? Wei He had no experience whatsoever. When he occupied the Southern Province before, he had Ravich, a local official, to help him. Now, without Ravich, he really didn't know what to do.
"Commander, I'm back!" Just as Wei He was feeling distressed, a fat man slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of the base, happily greeting Wei He.
"You had a rough time this time. I shouldn't have let you come; I wouldn't have been so worried about you!" After experiencing this major battle, Wei He was extremely concerned about Du Yu's safety. After all, here, Du Yu was nothing but countless economic conversion points for the red alert system.
"I had already escaped, but then a beam of golden light suddenly shot down from the sky. I had no choice but to hide inside a house. Unfortunately, the house couldn't withstand the golden light's attack either. The entire building was knocked down by the light, and I was buried inside and passed out. This morning, when my body had completely recovered, I crawled out. Hehe!" Du Yu's chubby face was flushed, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"You're safer going back. Quickly send Du Yu back to the Harsh Forest and don't come out again!" Hearing this, Wei He's heart pounded wildly. His cash cow had almost withered.
"As you command, Commander!" Du Yu looked at Wei He with determined eyes and replied, then walked towards the night hawk helicopter parked nearby.
In the Spring Blossom Pavilion of Fite City, Linlin was hugging two muscular hunks and drinking. Tang Xiaowei watched her from the side, utterly speechless. She had come here hoping to prevent Linlin from getting into trouble—what if some stinking man took advantage of her? But once they arrived, Linlin had completely let loose, ordering four muscular hunks all by herself. Of course, two were for Tang Xiaowei, but she had driven them away.
"How much longer are you going to drink? It's dawn, we should go back." Tang Xiaowei looked at Linlin, whose face was flushed red from drinking, and pretended to be angry.
"Sister Xiaowei, what's the hurry? I haven't even started yet. How can we end so soon? Don't you think?" Linlin supported her slightly dizzy head and smiled sweetly at Tang Xiaowei. She knew Tang Xiaowei was only pretending to be angry, not truly upset. Otherwise, she would have left long ago.
"Haven't started? You've been drinking all night! What if Wei He needs our help?" Hearing Linlin's words, Tang Xiaowei raised her voice even louder.
"He won't, Sister Xiaowei. If Brother Wei He really needed us for something, he'd definitely find us. And why are you so concerned about Brother Wei He's affairs? It seems like you're more anxious about them than your own!" Linlin's eyes darted around mischievously as she looked at Tang Xiaowei with a sly grin.
"Ah! That's not true at all! Who's concerned about his affairs? Let's drink! Boss, two more pounds of Mage's Red! Today, we drink until we drop!" Tang Xiaowei said with an awkward expression, her entire face quickly turning crimson.
"Hey, Sister Xiaowei, why is your face so red?" Linlin's hand rested on the muscular hunk's shoulder as she asked with a giggle.
"What? It's from the drinking! Alright, hurry up and drink! Look how little you've had!" Tang Xiaowei touched her burning face, her eyes darting around before settling on Linlin's wine cup.
"Alright, let's drink!" Linlin said with a red face and a laugh. Then, she pinched the man's buttocks, making him yelp in pain.
"Hahahaha, I'll take good care of you, hahahaha!" Linlin rubbed the man's fair, sharply defined face with both hands. His deep eyes stared at the sweet Linlin, utterly captivated.
*Slap!* A slap landed on the man's face. Linlin pointed at his nose and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Tell me!"
Just as Linlin was lecturing the man, in the neighboring room, a handsome man with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, dressed in elegant white robes, was lying in the arms of a beautiful woman, drinking alone. Hearing the commotion next door, he shouted angrily, "Stop making noise! Can't you see I'm drinking here? If you dare make another sound, I'll have you all arrested and beaten!"
"Oh ho! Someone dares to challenge me? Do you have a death wish?" Linlin slapped the man in front of her, who wisely stepped aside.
"Hyah!" With a fierce shout, Linlin's palm shot a cyan light towards the adjacent wall. The wall instantly had a large hole blasted through it by the light.
"Ah, Linlin, you've gone too crazy after drinking!" Tang Xiaowei stared at the person-sized hole in the wall, her mouth agape in shock. She thought to herself, *Is this really the same sweet, lovely girl from usual?*
The handsome man and the beautiful woman in the next room were also startled by this scene. Both turned their heads simultaneously to look at the large hole in the wall.
The handsome man and Linlin locked eyes through the large hole. Their pupils instantly contracted, and they both cried out at the same time.
"Gerard, you're not dead yet? I thought you'd died long ago!" Although Linlin didn't know that Emperor Alexander was already dead, when Grand Duke William died, the entire temple was blown to bits, and no one walked out alive. That's why she shouted this.
"Linlin, I heard you've joined Wei He. How are you doing now? Still happy? Hehehehe!" Gerard stood up and said with an awkward smile.
