Chapter 20: "Caring for the People"
"Damn Darren!! You betrayed your belief in justice!! You are a disgrace to the navy!! Scum of justice!!"
Gion's angry curses came from behind, but Darren walked out of the palace side hall with a smile.
He doesn't care what others think of him.
Caring too much about reputation will only constrain your actions and prevent you from letting go.
This is a world of the weak and the strong, following the most primitive laws of the jungle.
Darren does not deny that there are indeed some people in the Navy who insist on their inner justice from the bottom of their hearts, and he also sincerely respects these people.
They are willing to sacrifice everything for the ideals and beliefs in their hearts to protect those things they want to protect, sacrificing their youth, energy and even their lives.
Such people are indeed respectable and great.
This is why Darren doesn't hate Gion who is "in the way".
Because there must always be "idiots" like Gion to make this world full of hope.
But Darren thought he couldn't do this.
Because the right path is too difficult.
Darren does not have a monster-level talent like Sakaski, nor does he have a wealthy family background like Gion.
From the beginning of his journey five years ago, he has walked step by step until now, especially in a chaotic sea like the North Sea... Every step he took was extremely difficult and thrilling, like walking on a tightrope on a cliff.
So he must be cautious and cautious, careful and careful.
Seize power, wealth, power, interests and status as much as possible.
Now, it's time to reap the fruits of victory in this war.
Darren thought this in his mind and quickened his pace.
…
Night falls.
Vilna, the capital of the Kingdom of Yadis, is brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Royal palace, guest hall.
The nobles, celebrities, ministers, crown princes and wealthy businessmen of the Kingdom of Yadis attended the event in their best attires and drank wine.
The crystal lamp on the ceiling casts bright light, reflecting charming ripples on the red wine in the hands of the guests.
The guests chatted happily.
"Let me tell you, that battle was truly thrilling. The Germa 66 are truly an evil army. Their commander, Vinsmoke Gaji, is as powerful as a monster..."
On one side of the banquet hall, Jia Ji, who was wearing a brand-new tuxedo and looked like a dog, shook the red wine glass in his hand and boasted extremely loudly to a group of aristocratic ladies and ladies in attendance:
"You all don't know, but the weapons he uses are extremely sophisticated high-tech weapons. The electric current released from the spear can directly stun an elephant."
Hearing this, the ladies and ladies of the noble family covered their mouths with their hands and let out shocking low sounds.
"Then what?"
"Then?" Jiaji deliberately lowered his voice, making his voice full of magnetism, imitating Darren's appearance in his mind, and smiled "faintly":
"The power of Germa's technology is indeed very strong, but I am a genius who has been tempered in the Navy Headquarters. I am just a Vinsmoke Gaji. How can I be my opponent?"
"I just kicked the guy and kicked him away more than ten meters."
"Facing the majesty of justice, he still wanted to fight to the death. In the end, I thought he was too noisy, so I blocked his mouth."
The ladies and ladies all opened their eyes wide and looked at Jiaji with bright eyes. The admiration in their eyes made the latter secretly happy.
"That's awesome, Major Jiajie!"
"He is truly a genius from the Navy Headquarters!"
"A powerful "evil army" like Germa 66 was easily defeated by you."
Facing the adulation from everyone, Jiaji felt as if the pores all over his body were relaxing.
Beihai is better...
There are so many gorgeous aristocratic ladies and ladies, the best red wine, fine cigars, and wonderful performances by the song and dance troupe...
No wonder that bastard Darren stays here.
As for the truth of what I just said?
Well, anyway, when the war broke out, the Kingdom of Germa was some distance away from the coastline. Coupled with the fog on the sea, even the army of the Kingdom of Yadis couldn't see clearly what was going on, let alone those who were there. The ladies and ladies of the capital Vilna.
After thinking about the details, Jiaji took a sip of red wine, smoked a cigar with a desolate expression, and sighed sadly:
"do you know?"
"I have been looking for a decent opponent my whole life. I thought that coming to Beihai would bring some fun to my talent. I didn't expect that I would be so disappointed in the end."
The ladies and ladies were even more shocked when they heard this. They stared at Jiaji with bright eyes and sighed one after another.
"Even Major Jiajie is so powerful, so how powerful will Lord Darren be..."
"Yes, Lord Darren is not only powerful, but also so handsome and charming..."
"Yes, yes..."
Thinking of the appearance of the top officer of the Beihai Navy, the ladies' faces blushed shyly, and the aristocratic ladies' eyes were obsessed with them, as if they were in love with spring.
Addition:…
No, didn't you hear what I said?
Isn't this talking about my genius? Why are you getting involved with that bastard Darren again! ?
That guy didn't even attend the party!
Jiaji couldn't help roaring in his heart, the muscles on his face twitched, and his face gradually turned dark.
He took a long drag on his cigar, his face full of anger.
"That... Mr. Kaji..."
At this time, a timid voice suddenly sounded from behind.
He turned around subconsciously and saw a girl in a white lace dress standing there with a slightly red face. Her white hands were placed in front of her body and kept stirring, exuding a shy youthful temperament.
Such a beautiful and pure girl!
Kaji felt as if his heart was hit by something, his heartbeat slowed down, and his eyes suddenly shot out a pair of red hearts.
Love!! This is love!!
He screamed wildly in his heart.
"That... Mr. Kaji, I want..."
The girl raised her eyes shyly, looked at Kaji timidly, and quickly retracted her eyes in fear. She was as cute as a frightened deer, and said softly:
"I want... Den Den Mushi... contact information..."
She was shy!!
She wanted my Den Den Mushi contact information!
She must have heard my "achievements"!
She likes me!!
Kaji was struck by lightning, and nodded vigorously in panic:
"No problem, I'll give you my private phone number right now."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"No... I want to ask if you know... Mr. Darren's contact information?" The girl shook her head with a slightly red face.
Crack!
Kaji felt as if his heart was hit by something, his heartbeat stopped, and the red hearts in his eyes suddenly petrified and cracked.
In the girl's stunned eyes,
he turned around like a deflated balloon, walked to the corner of the banquet hall with a bleak back, and then squatted there, motionless.
Two lines of tears flowed down his face unconvincingly.
Not far away,
Gion, wearing a high-cut pink evening dress, refused the invitation to dance for the fifteenth time, looked at Kaji squatting in the corner with dejected black smoke, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
She took a sip of red wine, as if she remembered something, gritted her silver teeth, and clenched her fists.
On the other side,
Darren also arrived at the port and boarded the warship.
