Chapter 55 Ending
"After my Uncle Kesha argued hard, the shipping company's boss, Cardo, said he would consider opening up the channel. We finally won!" Inari eagerly shared with Hanabi the breakthrough of tonight's negotiations. progress.
"That's awesome." Hanabi clapped her hands.
Inari did not notice Hanabi's perfunctory attitude, but instead took Hanabi's applause as recognition, which further fueled Inari's passionate mood.
He was like a fanatical missionary, constantly telling Hanabi how brave and wise his Uncle Kesa was, and how he used his extraordinary charisma to convince Cardo, the big boss of the shipping company, and asked him to agree to the Land of Waves. Everyone's request.
Hanabi became impatient and replied:
"It's just a consideration, it's not really about opening up the channel."
Inari was stunned, because everyone came back with smiles on their faces today, and he was also infected by people's smiles. He felt that since things had such a breakthrough, the so-called "consideration" in Kado's mouth was of course that they would go back tomorrow. If you work hard, you can easily overcome it, and it won't be a problem.
He felt that Hanabi was pouring cold water on everyone's efforts and pouring dirty water on Uncle Kesha's glorious image, so he puffed up his face angrily:
"That will happen sooner or later! Uncle Kesha is so powerful, that Cardo will definitely agree!!"
"How powerful?" Hanabi asked, "Can he know ninjutsu?"
"Uncle Kesha is not a ninja, but he is more powerful than a ninja!!" Inari said loudly.
Hanabi said with disdain, "It's impossible for ordinary people to defeat ninjas. Inari, are you a fool?"
"Whether you're powerful or not doesn't depend on whether you can survive a fight... Can my uncle convince Cardo to open the channel? Can a ninja do it? No way!" Inari retorted. The angrier he became, the more he felt that his thinking was unusual. clear.
"Why not? Is it okay if I put a kunai on that Kado's neck? He's just bullying you into not hiring powerful ninjas to help you," Hanabi said with determination, "and your uncle didn't really convince you. He himself said that Cardo was just 'thinking'."
"I remembered wrongly, that Kado has promised to open the channel the day after tomorrow!" Inari, in order to gain a breath, has begun to ignore the facts.
Hanabi looked at him suspiciously, then shook her head: "Even if it is true, it must be a lie to you."
"Impossible!!" Inari shouted.
"How is it impossible? You don't have the strength to fight against Cardo at all. Why does he care about what you think?" Hanabi asked back. Seeing Inari suppressing her blush, she sighed softly, and then said seriously, "I My brother said, you can’t get peace by asking for mercy, strength is the foundation of everything!”
"Your brother is farting!"
"What did you say?!" Hanabi was furious, stood up and kicked Inari to the ground.
"What's wrong? You're only allowed to call me uncle, but I'm not allowed to call your brother?!" Inari was a little scared. He didn't even dare to stand up again in the face of Hua Huo's fist, but he still frowned and shouted loudly.
"Yes, no!!" Hanabi was very domineering. After riding on Inari and punching him twice, he threatened, "If you dare to scold my brother again, I will beat you!"
Inari got up from the ground. He didn't dare to say anything like "If you scold my uncle again, I'll beat him back." He just glared at Hanabi hard, and before she clenched her fists and hit her, he became wise and angry. He opened the door and left the yard.
The action was so decisive that he even forgot to hold the pet dog Pochi he left here.
As he left, the entire courtyard quickly became quiet, with only the sound of the cool rain hitting the windows.
Pochi was licking her fingers, and Hanabi ignored it. She just took a deep breath and sat on the ground with her little body in her arms. She still felt particularly angry and aggrieved as she recalled what Cai said just now.
She wanted to go to Ning Qi to say something, but the entrance to the basement was always locked. Hanabi didn't know what Ning Qi was doing inside, but she also knew clearly that she couldn't disturb him.
Hanabi sighed softly.
Although he is young, his worries are great.
After practicing soft boxing for two hours at the newly built training ground, she finally felt better, but there was still no movement in the basement, so Hanabi could only go to the kitchen and bake some bread for herself.
There are three portions of baked bread, one for Ning Qi, one for her, and one for Bo Qi.
But until nightfall, Hanabi fell asleep on the dining table, and Ning Qi's piece of bread was still quietly placed beside her.
…
When Inari returned home, she did not see her stepfather Kesha.
This man, who is called the hero of the Land of Waves, is a perfect man in terms of morality. He rarely stays up at night. If something happens, he will tell his family in advance so that they can relax.
But this time there was no news.
Dazna said that it might be due to heavy rain, or that he was discussing tomorrow's negotiations with Cardo at a friend's house. Although these possibilities were unlikely, it still made Inari's worry lessened a bit.
Before going to bed, he remembered what Hanabi had said to him, and immediately shook his head.
"How could something happen to someone as powerful as Uncle Kesha?"
Inari comforted herself like this, and then slept until the next morning holding the doll Kesha gave him on his birthday.
He could no longer remember what he was dreaming about, but when Inari woke up, he was the only one left at home.
There was uneaten milk and bread on the table, the door was open, and the wind was blowing, making the house a mess.
Inari watched all this blankly.
Where are people?
He walked out and found that his neighbors were not at home either.
It was like he was still in a dream and never woke up.
What happened?
Inari didn't know.
But he suddenly stopped.
"Begging for mercy will not lead to peace."
Hanabi's words rang in her mind.
Thinking of Kesha who disappeared last night.
Think of people who suddenly disappeared.
Inari's breathing gradually accelerated.
He headed in the direction of the pier, from walking, to jogging, to running with all his strength, his pace became faster and faster, and the truth of the matter finally slowly unfolded in front of him.
"It's human!"
Many people are gathering at the pier, and they are indeed here! !
"Everyone--"
Inari wanted to say something, but everyone looked at him with extremely sad expressions.
He wanted to ask something, but the crowd pushed him to the forefront in silence.
"you……"
The field of vision gradually became wider, but the voice was stuck in the throat and could not come out.
Ahead, Kado’s voice still sounded:
“This is what happens when you launch a terrorist campaign!!”
"This is what will happen if you block my Cardo Company!!"
Snapped!
With every crack of the whip.
Kesha, the hero of the Kingdom of Waves, who was hung on the wooden pole, would have a bloody whip mark on his body.
Snapped!
Kesha lowered his head and groaned every time he was whipped.
Snapped!
Inari felt his limbs were cold, and he looked around. People's faces were full of fear.
Snapped!
It seemed like something had been completely shattered.
