Chapter 166 Uninvited Guest
The person in charge of the caravan's reception was a 32-year-old, rather pretty, Caucasian woman, who was rumored to be the old Benny's distant niece named Alma.
Alma has a naturally good voice. According to her own recollection, she once wanted to be a female singer when she was young, but unfortunately, this road did not work. Of course, if she was born 10 years later, with luck, she might snatch the job of the little fairy "Galaxy Fairy".
Howson scoffed at this. The reason is that Alma is good at singing, but her skills in bed are far worse. In terms of life skills of serving men, she is far inferior to those "virtuous and artistic" girls on the Omega space station. This answer Tang Fang and Aros couldn't help but deepen their understanding of this shameless personality.
"Theodore, Uncle Benny told you to go to the living room No. 3 on the second floor." After explaining to Tang Fang, Alma rushed away and cast a wink at Hao Sen who was at the end, which made the guy laugh.
Tang Fang didn't bother to gossip about their private life, so he went straight to the elevator, went to the second floor, and turned left to the reception room No. 3.
The lights in the room are on, and the light shines through the crack of the door and draws a line of orange in the dim corridor.
"Old Benny?" He yelled softly without hearing a response. He looked back at Aros, nodded, and stretched out his hand to gently open the door.
As usual, the room was filled with the unique smell of air fresheners, and the warm air was blown in from the air conditioner, making a slight "whooping" sound. Tang Fang frowned. He was keenly aware of something unusual. Apart from the smell of air freshener in every room, there was also a faint scent of flowers in the living room, some familiar ones.
"What's the matter?" Aros asked suspiciously, his right hand had touched his lower back, where his paladin m5 was hidden.
"It's nothing, maybe... it's an illusion." Tang Fang seemed to remember something, but he shook his head helplessly, how could this be...
Take a deep breath. Step into the room. This is a suite. The outside is a hall for receiving guests, and the inside is a slightly smaller lounge. There is no one in the hall. There were two cups of steaming coffee on the coffee table.
"Old Benny?" Tang Fang called out again, but still no one answered.
He couldn't help feeling suspicious, and patiently walked towards the lounge inside. The door was ajar, and the closer he got, the more clearly the faint floral fragrance could be heard.
The look of surprise on Tang Fang's face grew stronger, he turned his head to look at Aros, and stretched out his hand to gently open the door.
The lights in the room were a bit dim, and the power indicator light on the workbench flickered.
Like jumping sparks. Fragrance comes from the shop. So familiar and nostalgic.
It was Claire, lying on the bed in the middle, curled up slightly, her golden hair spreading out like waves. She was in a deep sleep. He was so tired that he didn't even notice Tang Fang's footsteps entering the room.
"Why is she here?" Aros was taken aback, and asked in a low voice.
Tang Fang shook his head, expressing his ignorance. Philips was out and Old Benny was not around, so I could only ask Claire this question. But looking back at her tired appearance, I couldn't bear to disturb her.
The girl frowned slightly from time to time. Stretching slowly again, the shiny eyelashes hopped and hopped, like a naughty elf.
"Forget it, let's go out and wait for a while, she must be very tired." After greeting Aros, he was about to get up and wait in the front hall. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a thunderous voice came from outside: "Hey, Tang Fang, where are you? Where's old Benny?"
Don't think about it, it must be that reckless bastard who has more success than failure.
really. After being yelled at by him, Claire frowned, and slowly opened her eyes. It happened that Tang Fang was also looking over at this moment, and her eyes met. The girl was startled, and immediately recovered from her confusion.
"Tarossa." The girl's eyes were a little red. She didn't know if she was thinking of something, or she didn't have enough sleep and her eyes were uncomfortable.
Seeing her waking up, Tang Fang took back his steps toward the door, and was about to ask her why she appeared here, but Hao Sen slammed into the back room: "Hey, Claire, what's going on? Aren't you at the North Pole? Why? appear here?"
Hearing this, the girl's eyes became even redder, and even her body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Tang Fang's heart moved. Could it be that something happened to Marion? Otherwise, why did she suddenly come to Antarctica.
"Claire, don't get excited, is something wrong at the North Pole?"
Claire sat up from the bed, wrapped her arms around her knees, and nodded slightly.
"What happened?" Tang Fang sat down on the bed and asked solemnly.
"The... general is under house arrest by them." After a long hesitation, the girl finally said a sentence that contained complex emotions such as anger, bewilderment, resentment, and melancholy.
"General? Marion? Under house arrest?" Tang Fang couldn't help but take a deep breath. Sure enough, something happened to the North Pole. He thought that the conflict between Marion and the special envoy of the Charles Federation would erupt in the future, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
The Croatan uprising was in full swing, and the two sides turned their faces at this time. What are the people of Charles Federation doing? Isn't this clearly holding back Garcia's rebels? Doing so is not beneficial to either party.
Immediately afterwards, he thought of the experience eight days ago, when Shi Huaqing sneaked the three of them out of the base early in the morning, and said that it was Marion's arrangement. Could it be that the two sides turned their faces because of him? In other words, the special envoy of the Charles Federation was making his own ideas, but the old Viking refused and sent himself out of the North Pole first, which intensified the conflict between the two sides and caused the current trouble.
Just as he was beating the drums in his heart, Claire suddenly dropped another bombshell: "Aldrich's government army has already attacked the hinterland of Thor Continent, and the rebel army is gone."
The previous sentence was nothing more than that, but this sentence seemed to be like the impact of Hong Zhong Dalu, shaking the ears of the three of them numb.
In just 8 days, Aldrich's government army attacked the hinterland of the Tor continent? This...how is this possible?
"Claire, tell me slowly, what's going on here?" Tang Fang moved closer and clasped her shoulders tightly with both hands: "Don't be afraid, let's talk about it and find a solution together."
"Tarossa, will you help me?" As if she had found a life-saving straw, Claire grabbed his arm suddenly, and her slender fingers almost scratched the skin.
"Of course." Tang Fang patted her on the shoulder lightly: "We are friends, you are, Grant is, Shi Huaqing is, and that weird old man who loves to sleep on the bed is also, of course, there is also Virginie who is 'disobedient' Aunt Asia."
Hearing such an answer, Claire's heart felt as if a boulder fell to the ground, and there was a gleam of hope on her face: "The thing is like this..."
