Chapter 1915-1918
Leo Alexander’s sudden hostility made Dustin slightly startled and a little confused.
He asked himself that this was the first time the two of them met and there was no grudge between them. Why was this guy in front of him so arrogant?
”Captain Leo, have we met before?” Dustin asked calmly.
The raised hand was slowly lowered.
”We haven’t seen each other before.” Leo Alexander had a cold face.
”Since we haven’t seen each other before, why do you say this?” Dustin asked.
”I’m just thinking about Miss Li.”
Leo Alexander said calmly: “The Death Desert is full of dangers. People who go in will almost die. Without strong strength, professional knowledge, and rich experience, ordinary people can’t survive in it. They only lasts for one day.
Miss Li spent a lot of money to invite me over, so I am naturally responsible for her safety. From your appearance and behavior, it is obvious that you are not a professional bodyguard, so I am very doubtful about your ability.
In case of death If you encounter any danger in the desert, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to protect Miss Li, but will harm others and yourself!”
These words were simple and rude, without any mercy.
”Captain Leo, Your Highness Princess has her own reasons for inviting me over. Your duty is to lead the way and let us avoid various risks, that’s all. You don’t need to worry about the rest. Just do your
part. Don’t cross the line, it’s not your turn to teach me whether I can do it or not.” Dustin said in an indifferent tone.
Although he has an easy-going personality, he doesn’t like to be told what to do.
”You have to make money according to your ability. This matter is related to your wealth and life, so you can’t be careless.”
Leo Alexander said, turning his eyes to Margaret, and said seriously: “Miss Li, regarding bodyguards, I know a few powerful people. Experts, if you trust me, I can invite them for you, but it will cost a little more money.”
”Captain Leo, I appreciate your kindness, but I believe in Dustin’s ability. With him here, There will be no problem with my safety.” Margaret said calmly.
As the tenth strongest man on the world-shattering list, even Dustin couldn’t solve the dangers in the desert of death.
Then these people can only wait to die.
”Miss Li…”
Leo Alexander was about to say something, but was interrupted by Margaret raising her hand: “Okay, Captain Leo, no need to say more, you first go and inquire about the death desert, and try your best. Let’s collect more information and we’ll talk later.”
”Yes.”
At this point, Leo Alexander could only nod.
But before leaving, he glanced at Dustin with disapproval, obviously looking down on him.
”Margaret, you seem a little arrogant when you find this team leader.” Dustin teased.
”Leo is a bit arrogant, but he still has some real abilities. We are going to enter the desert of death, and his help is indispensable. You, sir, have a lot of abilities, but not as knowledgeable as him.” Margaret smiled lightly.
”As long as he doesn’t get on my nerve, it doesn’t matter if he makes a few bad comments and shows his face.” Dustin shrugged.
It’s not that he has no tolerance for others, he has seen too many arrogant guys like this.
Most of them have high ambitions but low powers. Dustin only hope that this person named Leo Alexander will not be an embroidered pillow.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s choose a room first. If nothing else happens, we will stay here tonight.” Margaret changed the subject.
”Okay, I happen to be hungry. Let’s clean up and start dinner.” Dustin touched his dry belly.
He knew very well that there were two well-known chefs in Margaret’s team this time, who were proficient in cuisines from all over the world.
In addition, the supplies carried are sufficient, so there is no need to worry about food.
…
In a tavern in the desert village.
Leo Alexander took several members of the Black Scorpion Team and sat down at a random table.
A few people were drinking and chatting, observing the surroundings from time to time.
At this moment, there were many people sitting in the tavern.
Judging from their attire, these are basically explorers. They are in small groups, each occupying their own area. It can be said that they are a mixed bag of cat and mouse.
”Captain, we haven’t encountered so many adventure teams the last two times we’ve been here, right? What’s going on this time? From the time we entered the village to now, we have met no less than five teams.” A bald man Han held a cigar in his mouth and glanced around.
”There are really not so many people on weekdays. This time all the forces gathered together. There should be a treasure to be discovered, and it is most likely related to the sudden appearance of the oasis.” Leo Alexander said.
The news of an oasis suddenly appearing in the desert of death has spread in the circle.
Many international expedition teams have made changes and are expected to arrive here soon.
”Captain, do you know what’s in that oasis?” the bald man asked tentatively.
”It’s not clear what it is specifically.”
Leo Alexander shook his head: “But as far as I know, that oasis is a hundred times more dangerous than the desert. Anyone who goes in has never come out again, but it can make so many people flock to it. , take the risk, the treasure inside must be priceless.”
”Okay, okay, no matter what is inside, it has nothing to do with us. We are getting money to do things, just bring people in safely and bring them out safely. The inability to find the treasure has nothing to do with us.” A short-haired woman wearing a smart outfit said.
”That’s true.” The bald man nodded.
They have already received 30% of the remuneration. As long as the depositor survives, they will get the balance, and there is no need to worry about the rest.
”Captain, but then again, who is Miss Li? How can she be so generous? We have been in the industry for ten years and have never met such a generous sponsor.” The short-haired woman asked curiously.
”Miss Li doesn’t want to show her true face to others. She just doesn’t want to expose her identity. There are rules in the industry. We can’t ask any more questions.” Leo Alexander shook his head.
”Captain, you have looked at Miss Li no less than ten times along the way. Are you interested in her?” The short-haired woman smiled ambiguously.
”I don’t know what to say. Miss Li seems to have a special magic power. As soon as I see her, I feel like we have seen each other before, as if we are destined to be together.” Leo Alexander narrowed his eyes and said.
”Fate? Oh~ I understand!”
The short-haired man suddenly realized, and couldn’t help laughing and joking: “Captain, you are miserable, you have fallen in love!”
Chapter 1916
”I have never felt like this before, this time is really different.”
Faced with the ridicule, Leo Alexander did not deny it.
They are all brothers and sisters who have been through life and death together. There is nothing that cannot be said.
”This Miss Li is indeed very special. Although I have never seen her in the lineup, she gives me the impression that she is the kind of gorgeous beauty.” The bald man said with great energy.
”Bullshit, Miss Li is the woman that the captain likes. You’d better not have any wrong ideas.” The short-haired girl warned.
”Look at what you said, I just mentioned it casually, how dare I steal a woman from the captain?” The bald man smiled sarcastically.
”Captain, it’s rare that I meet someone who can make your heart beat. Don’t worry, just take action boldly. With your masculine charm, there will be no problem!” the short-haired girl said confidently.
”I’m afraid it’s too late.”
Leo Alexander shook his head and said, “There is a bodyguard beside Miss Li. The two of them are in the same car and their relationship is ambiguous. I probably have no chance.” Previously, against Dustin, he was Still a little jealous.
And judging from Margaret’s attitude in defending each other, it is obvious that the two are not ordinary friends.
”Captain, have you ever heard of a saying that as long as you swing your hoe well, you can dig down any wall?” The short-haired girl narrowed her eyes.
”Oh? Do you have any good ideas?” Leo Alexander suddenly became interested.
”It’s very simple. As long as the bodyguard next to Miss Li dies, don’t you have a chance?” The short- haired girl said in surprise.
Hearing this, Leo Alexander’s face froze. He looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping. Then he lowered his voice and said, “Mia, don’t talk nonsense. There are rules in the industry. We are
an expedition team, not mercenaries. We kill people and steal goods.” Once the news gets out, we won’t have business anymore.”
”Captain, as long as we do it without anyone noticing, who will know?” the short-haired girl said with a half-smile.
She has been traveling around the world for many years, engaging in intrigues and fighting for life and death, with countless lives on her hands.
For them, killing someone is just a common thing.
”To be Miss Li’s personal bodyguard, this person should have some skills. It is obviously not easy to assassinate him without anyone noticing. Besides, Miss Li also has a bodyguard around her. It would be too risky to do so.” Leo Alexander was thoughtful.
”Captain, you are a fan of the authorities. I didn’t say we were going to kill people now. Don’t forget where our advantage is?” The short-haired girl smiled meaningfully.
”You mean… the desert of death?”
After being stunned for a moment, Leo Alexander quickly reacted.
”That’s right!”
The short-haired girl snapped her fingers and said with a smile: “The Death Desert is full of dangers. I don’t know how many people die in it every year. As long as we find a suitable opportunity to kill the bodyguard accidentally, it shouldn’t be difficult. At that time, you can stay and get together with Miss Li.”
”Hahaha… That makes sense! When we enter the desert of death, we will find another opportunity to kill him!” The bald man couldn’t help laughing.
His laugh was so unusual that it attracted the attention of many people in the tavern.
”Hey, do you want your voice to be more louder? How about I give you a loudspeaker and you can shout outside?” the short-haired girl said angrily.
”I’m born with a loud voice.” The bald man scratched his head and quickly lowered his voice.
”Captain, what do you think? Happiness is beckoning to you. As long as you get rid of that troublesome guy, you will definitely be able to embrace the beauty.” The short-haired girl followed the temptation.
”Okay! Just do as you say!”
A fierce light flashed in Leo Alexander’s eyes, and he murmured himself with a gloomy face: “If you don’t take initiative yourself, you will never get what you want. Dustin, don’t blame me for being ruthless. The only blame is that your own life is not good.You shoul be gone from my lady’s life!”
…
Chapter 1917
”Sneeze!”
In the hotel, Dustin, who had just changed his clothes, suddenly sneezed and muttered to himself: “Who is thinking about me?”
Dustin rubbed his nose, walked out of the room, and came at the hotel cafeteria.
Because this hotel was renovated from a primary school, the cafeteria is quite large, about two to three hundred square meters.
It is more than enough to accommodate more than a hundred people for dinner.
”Here.”
Dustin had just entered the dining hall when he saw Margaret raising her hand to wave.
When he walked forward, he saw that there were more than a dozen delicacies on the table.
”These dishes are all made by our chefs. They are safe and delicious. You can eat them without any suspicion.” Margaret explained.
”You should be cautious.” Dustin smiled.
Without any hesitation, he sat down on the chair and began to feast.
”It’s always good to be cautious when going out. This is the edge of the desert of death, where all kinds of fish and dragons are mixed together. If you’re not careful, you might get caught at some point.” Margaret picked up the chopsticks and chewed slowly, with graceful movements
.
While the two were eating.
A group of young men and women wearing green clothes and holding swords suddenly walked in.
These people have powerful auras, sharp eyes, and a strong sense of oppression. Judging from their clothes, they should be disciples of martial arts in the world.
The leader among them was a thin man with a hooked nose, in his thirties, with a somewhat fierce face, and he looked like he was not a good person.
”Senior Brother, isn’t this place too shabby? There are a lot of dirty things, how can we eat here?”
A girl with a ponytail looked around with a disgusted expression.
”I can’t help it. This time the situation is special, so you’ll have to make a little bit compramise.” The man with the hooked nose persuaded her kindly.
”Forget it, we are here, just eat whatever you want, I’m almost starving.”
The girl with the ponytail found a relatively clean seat and sat down, then shouted: “Hey! Waiter! I want to order the best here.” Give me a portion of all the good dishes!”
”Okay!” the waiter responded with a smile.
Then he ordered the cook to prepare a few expensive dishes and served them first.
As a result, the girl with the ponytail picked up the food and took a bite, and immediately vomited it out: “Bah! What trash you brought here? Why does it taste so bad? This lady is disgusted to death!” “How arrogant!” the hook-nosed man slapped her.
The table, shouted: “You are trying to fool us with such an unsightly thing, are you deliberately looking for trouble?!” “
Hmph! Do you know who we are? How dare you be so negligent, believe it or not, we will demolish your shop!”
Others The disciples of the same sect stood up one after another, looking fierce.
”Everyone, I’m really sorry. These are already the most expensive ingredients in the shop. If there’s anything wrong with the reception, please forgive me.” The waiter was so frightened that he apologized repeatedly.
”You’re lying!”
The ponytail girl stood up, suddenly pointed at Dustin and Margret, and shouted: “Why do they eat better than us? You clearly look down on us!”
Chapter 1918
Dustin and Margaret were watching a show, but the girl with the ponytail suddenly changed direction and pointed the finger at the two of them. They were a little startled, unable to react for a while.
”That’s right! They have more than a dozen dishes, all of which are delicious and, Look at what’s on our table. It’s just a pile of garbage!” “I don’t care!
Change it for us immediately, otherwise don’t blame us for getting mad!”
Everyone started shouting, and while they were talking, they threw the food on the table to the ground, leaving a mess all over the floor.
”Dear fellows, the store’s capacity is limited and it really can’t replace these famous dishes.” The waiter said with a sad face and was very embarrassed.
”Can’t change it? Do you think we can’t afford it?” The hook-nosed man had a gloomy look on his face.
”What a dog looks down upon others! Are you going to treat us differently? Do you know who we are? We are disciples of the Flying Snow Sect, which is famous in the world. If you piss us off, we will destroy your store in a minute!” The girl with the ponytail He shouted fiercely.
”Misunderstanding, it’s all misunderstanding…” The waiter was frightened and explained again and again: “These famous dishes are cooked by the chefs brought by the guests. We just provided the kitchen.”
“What? Your own cook?” Are you kidding me? Who brings a cook with them when they go out?” The girl with the ponytail looked suspicious.
People who come to the Desert of Death are basically exploring and hunting for treasures, and they bring the cook with them. What do you mean?
”It’s true. I saw it with my own eyes. I dare not lie to you.” The waiter said confidently.
Hearing this, the flying Sect disciples couldn’t help but look at each other, and finally turned their attention to Dustin and Margaret.
”Hey, are these dishes really made by your own people?”
The girl with the ponytail stepped forward and asked condescendingly.
”That’s right.”
Margaret nodded and said, “I can’t get used to the food outside, so I brought my own cook.”
”Really?”
The girl with the ponytail took a closer look at the dishes on the table and couldn’t help but marveled: “Longjing Shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish, Earthg Pao chicken, Dongpo pork, Buddha Jumping over the Wall, etc… Can the two of you finish eating so many expensive dishes?”
She said without waiting for the two of them to respond. She directly picked up the spare chopsticks, picked up a piece of mandarin fish and put it in her mouth.
The next second, her eyes lit up with a look of surprise on her face: “It’s really delicious!”
”Elder brother, there are good things here. Come and try it!” The ponytail girl turned around and waved.
Without caring about the emotions of Dustin and Margaret, he directly called all his classmates over.
When everyone saw the delicious food on the table, their index fingers were full of excitement.
They had come all the way and were hungry for a long time. Now that they have so many delicious food in front of them, they are naturally very happy.
”You two, we’ve covered the food for this table. You can go eat somewhere else.”
The hook-nosed man took out a gold bar from his arms and threw it on the table, looking like a rich man.
”Huh?”
Dustin raised his eyebrows and said with an idiot look: “Is there anything wrong with you guys? You just came here uninvited, and you have to drive us away. Do you really think you run this hotel? “
If these people had a better attitude, it wouldn’t be a big deal to have a drink or a meal together. They would be able to make friends.
But these people looked so arrogant and didn’t take them seriously at all, so he was naturally very unhappy.
”What? Too little? Okay, I’ll add more.”
The hook-nosed man was still arrogant. As he spoke, he took out another gold bar from his arms and threw it on the table. He said coldly: “Is that enough now?”
“That’s it. This? I’m sending beggars away!”
Dustin waved his hand and flicked the two gold bars away without giving a single glance.
”Bold!”
”Presumptuous!”
”That’s unreasonable!”
Dustin’s actions caused the Flying Sect disciples to shout angrily.
As a well-known sect in the world, they are highly respected no matter where they go, and no one dares to go against them.
This kid in front of me is so shameless!
”Hey! What’s your attitude?!”
The ponytail girl was furious, slammed the table, and shouted: “Do you know who we are? We are disciples of the Flying Sect, one of the three sects in the southwest, looking at the entire world. , No one dares not to give us face!”
”Flying Sect? So what?” Dustin had no expression on his face and drank to himself.
”How’s it going? Huh! To tell you the truth, we are sure to eat the food on today’s table. If you know what’s going on, pick up the gold bars and get out. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!” the girl with the ponytail threatened sternly.
”Really? How can you be so rude?” Dustin sneered.
He has seen many arrogant and domineering people.
But this was the first time that they had to fight over a meal.
”Heaveng!”
The girl with the ponytail didn’t waste any time. She pulled out her sword and threatened sternly: “I’ll give you one more chance. Get out of here right now, or I’ll stab a few holes in your body!”
“I advise you to be the best. Put the sword away, because if you do it, I won’t show mercy to you, and you might be beaten into a pig’s head.” Dustin said seriously.
”You’re looking for death!”
Hearing this, the girl with the ponytail finally couldn’t bear it anymore, suddenly raised her sword and stabbed Dustin.
This sword is so fast and accurate that ordinary warriors may not be able to block it.
However, Dustin remained motionless, did not dodge or move, he picked up the wine glass with one hand, raised his head and drank.
The other hand easily clamped the blade of the sword as it struck.
The whole process was very smooth and done in one go, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.
And from beginning to end, Dustin didn’t look directly at the ponytail girl.
”Huh?”
The sudden change made the girl with the ponytail stunned for a moment.
She really didn’t expect that her full blow would be caught by Dustin with two fingers.
How can it be? !
Although she is not outstanding in the sect, she is definitely not something ordinary warriors can compete with.
The person in front of her is about the same age as her. Normally, she should be able to win easily as she comes from a famous family. Why is she being suppressed now?
Where does this guy come from?
”With this little strength, you still dare to show off your power? It seems that you have never experienced a beating from people.” Dustin sneered.
How can a warrior with inner strength who has not even broken through the innate ability have the courage to be so arrogant?
