Elder brother's garrison

His body was slightly contorted, and his bandaged body emitted a pungent disinfectant smell, making the air in the entire office smell much worse.

Several ship girls stood beside the man, their heads bowed.

The ship girls stood quietly beside the man, like several mountains, pressing down on the office and silencing all sound.

These girls are all ship girls who have reached the highest level of training.

President Er Gou smiled without changing his expression as he looked at the man sitting at the desk.

"I didn't expect you to recover so quickly! You're able to get out of bed so soon?" President Er Gou asked.

The man's eyes, peering through the bandages, exuded a chilling aura as he stared at Chairman Er Gou.

"Didn't expect that?" the man asked.

"Ah, I did think of that. After all, your thing is as annoying as a cockroach, and its lifespan is probably about the same." As he spoke, President Er Gou opened a can of air freshener and placed it on the table.

"I want revenge."

"What, you want to get beaten up by Bismarck again? Let me tell you, that ship girl doesn't know her own strength. You were lucky last time. If you provoke her again, who knows what might happen..."

boom! ! !

Before President Er Gou could finish speaking, the man suddenly stood up and slammed both hands hard on President Er Gou's desk.

Beneath the bandages, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at Chairman Er Gou with intense hatred.

"I am the admiral of Chapter Seven! My naval base is ranked among the top ten in the world! No one in this world can treat me like this!!! I will make that naval base pay the price!"

"Calm down, calm down first~" President Er Gou smiled and leaned back a little. "You can't beat them."

"I am the admiral who has been sent to monitor your behavior indefinitely! You must be responsible for my safety! You must punish..."

"Stop, stop, stop, don't talk nonsense. You were just following my instructions from my hometown to check if I'm keeping a gigolo, okay?" President Er Gou chuckled. "Let's just turn a blind eye to each other, okay? Look at all the mess you're making of here, I haven't bothered you. And when you got beaten up, it was because you were harassing the public ship girls."

The man inside the bandages quietly watched Chairman Er Gou for a while, then chuckled softly.

"Are you determined to oppose me?"

"I just want to live a peaceful and carefree life every day. But you keep coming here to kick my door, making my reputation really bad," said President Er Gou, holding his head.

The man shook his head, then pulled out a stack of photos and slammed them hard on Chairman Er Gou's desk.

President Er Gou looked down.

On the table are photos taken secretly from various angles.

There's a photo of a little girl in blue carrying a large bag of snacks on the street. There's also a photo that looks like it was taken a long time ago, vaguely capturing the silhouette of a blue and white deep-sea supply ship in the nodal sea area.

"What do you think will happen if I hand this in?" the man said casually. "No wonder you're siblings; you haven't learned the good things, but you've certainly picked up all the bad ones."

"..."

“When his brother was around, someone protected him, so everyone turned a blind eye. But what about his sister? I’d like to see who dares to protect her this time! I’m not ordering you around, I’m helping you! Because if I hand over the information, given your relationship with her here, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!” The man bared his teeth at Chairman Er Gou, like a bandaged hunting dog.

President Er Gou didn't say anything. She reached out and picked up the photo, quietly looking at it over and over.

After reading one page, turn to the next, and then the next.

The man held his head high, his eyes beaming with a victorious smile.

"Pfft." Suddenly, President Er Gou burst into laughter. She looked at the photo and then erupted into uncontrollable laughter, "Hahahahahahahaha—"

"why are you laughing?"

"Damn it, like father, like son. This idiot really corrupted his sister, hahahahahaha..." President Er Gou laughed as he bent over, clinging to the table.

"Is it funny?"

"No, listen to me..." Guild Master Er Gou covered his face, laughing for a while, then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his voice turning cold, "...You brought the robbers here, didn't you?"

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"You originally intended to use those bandits to hijack the deep-sea supply ship, right? I guess the mission instructions weren't communicated properly, so you arrested the wrong person. Hmm... I'm guessing the instructions were to arrest the weakest-looking target in the courtyard, right?"

The man grunted but didn't say anything.

"The robbers... probably don't know you, but you're probably the one who cleared the way for them to get here. Anyway, the first target of those desperados is to find the richest people. If all else fails, try to subtly inquire; they'll eventually set their sights on Little White's house."

"You have no evidence; these are all your speculations."

"Phew—" President Er Gou lowered his hands, lowered his head, and quietly looked at the photos in his hands for a while.

Her face was serene and elegant, as if she were looking not at a photograph, but at an old classmate's album.

"Mummy Song!" The man slammed his fist on the table, yelling at the guild leader, "Are you ever going to stop?! Make your choice!!"

"...Don't call me by that name. Really, I'm begging you." President Er Gou slowly raised his head.

His eyes slowly opened.

The golden snake eyes seemed to radiate a chilling aura as they stared intently at the man before them.

"Why did you have to do this to her?" President Er Gou muttered to himself, his golden eyes radiating a chilling indifference to life, bursting forth like an avalanche.

In an instant, the piercing sound made the man scream and push back repeatedly.

"Mummy! What are you doing?!" the man screamed, and the ship girls beside her immediately formed a wall in front of her.

However, the walls formed by the ship girls' bodies do not appear to be very sturdy.

A vast network of admirals, as powerful as the ocean, erupted from President Er Gou, transforming into an inescapable net that swept across the ship girls' bodies in an instant. The ship girls' eyes rolled back, and they fainted.

The man screamed and tried to back away, but Helena was already leaning against the office door.

Helena raised her delicate chin, her sapphire-like eyes looking at him quietly and earnestly.

Her gaze made it seem as if Helena wasn't looking at a person, but rather reading an epitaph on a tombstone.

"What are you doing! You! You can't! You—" The man looked away in horror at President Er Gou.

"Alright." President Er Gou shook his head and sighed, "At least let me feel like a man before you die, okay?"

"You! I'm on a mission! You can't kill me! This isn't your home! You can't cause trouble!! How could you..."

President Er Gou bent down and stood up from behind her desk. She slowly walked around the desk and toward the man.

"First of all, this is indeed my home. The entire second chapter is my garrison territory. I live here, I got married here, everything I own is here."

"Secondly, the moment you took out the photo, you were already dead."

"third."

President Er Gou walked up to the man, reached out, and grabbed the man's hair through the bandages.

"You think I'm really afraid of you, that's why I let you cause trouble without daring to do anything to you? Haven't you ever thought about why my hometown sent you, this piece of trash, to monitor me?"

"—They hope that one day I'll get so disgusted by you that I'll just kill you with one blow. That way they can openly bring me back. You motherfucker, I've wanted to chop you up for a long time."

"Oh, by the way, there's something I've wanted to say to you for a long time. It's been bothering me for a while. It's just three words: Stand at attention and listen carefully."

President Er Gou closed his eyes.

Take a deep breath.

"--fuck your mother!"

Chapter 863 The Storm

Inside the supermarket, Xiaobai, who was carrying a basin of water, turned around and glanced curiously in the direction of the Admiral's Guild.

In front of Xiaobai was a bathtub that had been dragged from the daily necessities section of the supermarket.

Luo Lian threw her blood-stained clothes aside and stood in the bathtub, quietly wiping her body with a towel.

Luo Lian is the same age as Xiao Bai. And girls at this age are not fully developed physically. Luo Ritian is indeed not powerful enough to promote cell division and accelerate growth. So even though Luo Lian is currently in a rare scene where she is showing off her body, and some parts of her body are showing signs of budding, Xiao Bai, who is used to seeing and touching the near-perfect figures of the ship girls, still feels a sense of sympathy for her.

Luo Lian wrung out the towel that had turned slightly red.

Water streamed down the towel, sliding down Luo Lian's arm and waist.

The bloodstains on the girl's skin turned white streaks as the mineral water washed over them, revealing a pinkish hue unique to youth that slowly stirred beneath her skin, like a pool of blood flowing subtly within white jade.

"Xiao Bai, is there something over there?" Luo Lian noticed Xiao Bai turning around and asked curiously.

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian, then shook her head with a strange expression. "Hmm... I felt like there was some kind of powerful admiral network over there just now... Ah, never mind, it probably has nothing to do with me."

"Admiral Network?"

"Ah."

"Should we wait and go down to take a look?"

"Forget it, if we go after someone just because they released their Admiral Network, then there will be a queue of people forever at the gate of our yard."

"Oh, right." Luo Lian nodded, then continued to quietly wipe her body.

At that moment, Missouri dragged a robber lying on the ground as they passed by.

The robber had a rag stuffed in his mouth, his eyes were tightly bound with a black band, and his entire body was bound tightly with Missouri's skillful turtle-shell binding technique. As Missouri dragged him along, he could only make a series of incomprehensible grunts.

Missouri walked to the warehouse door, opened it a crack, threw the man she was holding inside, and then silently retreated outside.

The robbers in the warehouse were being relentlessly attacked and their corpses were being guarded by Luo Lian alone, so they were now powerless to resist. However, the group that Missouri had previously dealt with off-site had not yet been properly dealt with. Currently, these robbers who were lucky enough not to have experienced Luo Lian's upright and righteous Yandere Fist were being tied up by Missouri and thrown back into the warehouse, waiting for the arrival of Guild Master Er Gou's help.

As for what will happen to this group of people in the future...

Anyway, according to Chairman Er Gou, he's probably facing the death penalty. Even if he admits his mistake and shows a good attitude, he'll likely be spared a life, but he probably won't get out of prison for the rest of his life unless he serves the full twenty-year sentence.

"Speaking of which, where was the original owner of this supermarket?" Xiaobai asked. "Lianlian, since you said these are outsiders, how did they manage to sneak into this supermarket that already existed?"

"They probably tied them all up together," Luo Lian said, lifting her foot and wiping her toes.

"Huh? Isn't that dangerous?"

“For unregistered people, identity is definitely the most important thing. So many men wandering around the streets are very suspicious. But if they are wearing supermarket uniforms, even if three or four people are carrying a beautiful girl in a sack, no one will find it strange, right?”

"Oh... well, supermarket staff do deliver goods, so what happened to the previous staff and owner here?"

"They came by boat. They must have sneaked in sometime during the night, tied up a few of the night shift workers, and then knocked the boss unconscious the next day so they could take his place. Those people are probably all tied up on their boat. As for the remaining staff, they can just find some excuse to fire them all, like saying the supermarket has been sold by the owner and you don't need to come to work tomorrow. Take your severance pay and leave."

"Won't any customers notice anything unusual?"

"Look, this supermarket was still operating perfectly well before you came to rescue me. There must be someone among them who is good at this kind of thing. After all, I could manage a supermarket myself, and..."

"and?"

"Would anyone mind if the supermarket cashier had a different face?" Luo Lian smiled.

Wow, Lianlian, you seem to know so much...

"First of all, I've never robbed anyone, but that's how it's portrayed in movies, so I think that's how they all do it," said Luo Lian, the cloud robber, with her hands on her hips.

Xiao Bai looked at Luo Lian and couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

...Luo Lian is a good child, and she is so lucky for the whole human society.

Missouri locked the door only after throwing the robbers into the warehouse and making sure no one had died suddenly.

After drying herself off, Luo Lian picked out a decent-looking outfit from the clothes Missouri had brought and put it on.

After all, although Luo Lian's figure is not outstanding, it is still quite convenient for her to wear clothes. Basically, any style can fit her well, and she will not encounter the embarrassing situation of not being able to wear it.

This is a good thing.

Luo Lian threw the blood-stained admiral's uniform into the bucket of water. After thinking for a while, she pushed the entire bucket aside, seemingly not intending to recycle her clothes.

Anyway, Guild Master Er Gou's men will be back to clean up the mess soon. It's just a small matter of dealing with this outfit; consider it punishment for being late.

Xiao Bai, Luo Lian, and Missouri walked to the checkout counter at the supermarket entrance. Xiao Bai silently calculated the prices of the products she had just used, then took out a few bills, thought for a moment, and turned on the cash register.

The cash register popped open, revealing only a thin layer of change, barely enough for giving any.

"They're robbers after money, they'll plunder any passing goose," Luo Lian reminded Xiao Bai from the side.

Xiao Bai nodded, but still put a few bills into the cash register and closed it.

The broken glass from the earlier intrusion can be ignored; the Missouri officer who subdued the thug has already closed the door for Xiaobai. It was just a bang of glass and won't attract the attention of anyone nearby.

After leaving the supermarket, Xiaobai and Missouri exchanged a glance and decided to go home.

In Nia's yard.

The ship girl Bismarck sitting in the chair and the deep-sea Bismarck sitting on the steps have been staring at each other for a long time.

The two Bismarcks looked at each other, their eyes neither malicious nor kind. Their quiet gazes were locked together, like two wildcats who had entered a strange state after a chance glance.
