Chapter 165
Wandou touched her little face and said, "If you knew the identity of his biological father, you would be surprised. It's just a coincidence. His father is... um, Rong Yuan, guess first!"
Rong Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be the general manager of the maintenance department?"
"Ah?" Pea opened his mouth, then slowly curled his lips and said disappointedly, "Why...why did you guess him? You don't even know whether the general manager of the maintenance department is a man or a woman, right?"
Because Muzhe's father was obviously either rich or noble, and since Wandou asked him to guess, it meant that this person must have some connection with Rongyuan. But he had only been in Liukasiao for a short time and had only met a few people, so he could quickly come up with the answer using the simplest method of elimination.
However, seeing Wandou's disappointed look, Rong Yuan smiled, touched his chin, and said hesitantly: "Could it be... that I guessed wrong?"
The pea's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows seemed to fly up. He tried hard not to let the corners of his mouth curl up, and said, "I haven't said whether you guessed right or wrong. But you still have one chance! Guess again... Guess who it is..."
"Hmm..." Rong Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "It can't be Suka, right?"
Pea smiled secretly, then said with a straight face: "Wrong, but I can give you another chance, you must guess it right this time!"
"Then... the age of the Chief of the Political Department, Ma Pu, seems to be right..."
"Hahaha, wrong again! In fact, you guessed it right the first time! It's Baili Yun, the general manager of the maintenance department! Didn't expect it, did you?"
"Ah..." Rong Yuan sighed in annoyance and said, "It's really him..."
"Yes. Speaking of which, Baili Yun is also very handsome! I heard that he was once voted the most handsome man in Liukasao! Even though he is a little older now, he is still very handsome! Of course, he is far inferior to you! Let me show you his photo..."
In fact, Rong Yuan was not interested in the guy named Baili Yun at all, but seeing Wandou's high interest, he held his chin and listened attentively with a smile on his face.
Alpha sat nearby without saying a word, silently recording the scene before him.
When the man walked out of the jade-white special elevator, Kurita couldn't help but bend his waist even deeper, and his big belly was squeezed uncomfortably. His legs were trembling slightly, and his round fat face was covered with beads of sweat as big as soybeans, looking very embarrassed.
The man was wearing a black uniform, a dark purple belt, and cuffs decorated with golden gems. He looked as slender as a bamboo and had an extraordinary aura.
Looking at his face again, although Kurita was mentally prepared, he was still startled and quickly lowered his head, his face becoming even paler.
This man was a rare Klao in Liukasao. His skin was purplish blue, and his triangular eyes gave him a sinister and evil look. His mouth was so big that you could see his sharp and interlaced teeth when he opened it. Half of his face was normal, but the other half looked like it had been burned. His red skin was like a wax block that had melted and solidified. It was so scary that people dared not look directly at him.
In fact, there were twenty or thirty attendants and guards following behind this person. They were all heroic and imposing, but these people seemed to be invisible next to that person. Everyone could only see the person in the front.
This man was Todd, the Chief of the Supervisory Department, who was also rumored to be the most cruel, ruthless and merciless among all the chiefs. He was like a killing machine, and only obeyed the orders of Lord Ryuka. Under the orders of that Lord, he could even wield a knife to personally chop off the heads of his own people and friends, dig out their hearts, and offer their bodies to Lord Ryuka without batting an eyelid.
Kurita couldn't figure out what kind of charm the veiled Ryuka had that could make a beast like Todd loyal to him and obey him like a mindless dog. But he didn't dare to let the man opposite him see this thought.
"Kurita Ari... Kurita Ari, I welcome you to come and give me your guidance... It's an honor..."
"Okay, straighten up!" Todd glanced at him and said coldly, "You are the owner of the third floor, don't act like a slave."
"Yes, yes, your teaching is right. I feel like I have been enlightened and have benefited a lot from it." Kurita wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, glanced at Todd secretly, and said flatteringly: "Your Excellency has been tired from the journey. Please allow me to express my warm welcome to you. The hotel and the banquet are ready. Please... and all the superiors..."
In order to welcome Todd, Kurita and his subordinates held meetings for three days and prepared seven plans, which could be adjusted at any time according to the other party's personality and attitude. At this time, his hand quietly gestured "four" behind him, and a subordinate standing in the distance immediately went to make arrangements.
"No need." Todd refused coldly, "It's more important to do business. Please ask the captain Kurita to cooperate with us."
Kurita's legs went limp and he almost knelt down in front of the man. He tried hard not to pee and stammered, "It's... business... business... Lord General needs... me... how can I cooperate? I will definitely, definitely do my best and live up to your trust... I am loyal to Lord Ryuka, loyal as the sun and the moon, and sincere in my heart... Lord General... please understand..."
While trying hard to say the defense words that he had prepared long ago, Kurita looked at the other person's cold eyes and almost fainted from fear.
Todd stared down at him as if he was looking at a disgusting bug. Although he didn't say anything, every wrinkle on his face seemed to say - "How could that gentleman fall for a piece of trash like ?"
In fact, Kurita himself sometimes feels incredible. Among all the ship owners, he is the one with the worst ability and performance. The original development direction of the third floor he managed was to provide a holy place for men and women of different races, or men and men, or women and women to meet, fall in love, and get married. For this reason, a large number of activities that require two people are set up on the third floor, restaurants full of pink atmosphere everywhere, couple hotels with various styles and props, and even various natural environment conditions for lovers to travel and adventure together. If it is managed well, there is actually a lot of room for development.
In fact, the performance of the third floor is still quite impressive . Although it is not as good as those floors that make a lot of money every day, such as gambling and sports, the income is ranked in the middle among all floors. After all, people who fall in love are often brainless. Some people can spend all their life savings to get married, and some people are even willing to spend a lot of money on a "limited edition commemorative card" that has no use at all. In fact, it is just a piece of beautifully printed paper.
But since Kurita took over 30 years ago, the performance of the third floor has been going from bad to worse. Most of the profitable projects have become unpopular without anyone noticing, and later had to be closed and used for other purposes. Then gradually, this place became a gathering place for many losers who couldn't make it on other floors, frustrated adventurers, useless people with nothing, old people abandoned by their children, vagrants and orphans. Kurita didn't know what was going on. He tried very hard to save the situation, but it seemed that the harder he tried, the worse the situation became. Later, Kurita had to admit dejectedly that he might not be cut out for this job at all. Being able to defeat a group of competitors and become a ship owner was probably the pinnacle of his life.
At the annual ship owners' meeting, Kurita always felt that the boss would probably twist his head off when he was reporting on his work. The best outcome would be to remove him from the position of ship owner and replace him with a more capable person. Others, including many of Kurita's subordinates, also thought so.
But for some reason, Lord Ryuka seemed to be blind to his poor performance. Every time he reported to Kurita, he would just mention it briefly, neither scolding nor encouraging him, as if he completely ignored him.
Kurita felt lucky that Todd did not come for him this time. Kurita did not know the specific situation, nor did he want to know, he only knew that it seemed that he had discovered a spy who had been lurking for a long time.
As for how the spy was discovered, how long he had been lurking, whether he had stolen any important information etc., Kurita had no interest in knowing. He was just thankful again. Although there was a problem in the area under his jurisdiction, it seemed that this problem once again did not involve him.
Why Lord Ryuka was so tolerant of Kurita Ari has always been one of the mysteries in the minds of the ship owners. Many people secretly wondered if Kurita Ari was the illegitimate child of that Lord. Even Kurita Ari himself wondered if his mother, who had always been cautious, had cheated on his father who died early. But apart from always ignoring Kurita Ari, Ryuka didn't seem to take much extra care of him. What's more, with his status and position, if he wanted to take care of his own illegitimate child, who would dare to raise an objection? What's the need to hide it? Thinking of this, I felt that those speculations were nonsense.
But who would dare to ask Lord Ryuka for confirmation? But it's always better to be cautious. Including several generals, they actually have more patience with Kurita than others, otherwise Todd would have kicked him when they first met.
Kurita stood outside a hotel and refused to go in. At this time, the street was under complete martial law, and the surroundings were quiet, with only bursts of shrill screams coming from the hotel behind him.
Kurita shuddered and wanted to cover his ears.
He tried to recall the owner of this hotel. They had met several times at certain banquets. He had also come to toast when Kurita invited people to dinner. He remembered that he was a chubby middle-aged man with ordinary looks and a gentle personality. The hotel's hygiene, food, and service had a good reputation. Although Kurita was not familiar with him, he had a good impression of him. He did not expect that such a person was actually a spy.
Listening to the inhuman screams and imagining how that person would be treated, Kurita couldn't help but reveal a bit of pity, and then he forced himself to wipe out his little sympathy.
Kurita was very clear about who he was eating and whose bowl he was holding. Since he was a member of Ryukasao, and it was Lord Ryuka who gave him his current status and power, he had to be loyal to Lord Ryuka only, and the enemies of Ryukasao were also his enemies.
But it is just "loyalty", not "death". Well, my life is the most precious thing, and death is absolutely not an option.
A few hours later, Todd came out wiping the blood off his hands. His expression was no different from before. Kurita hurriedly followed him and waited for instructions, still thinking about treating them to dinner.
Todd's expression was much gentler now. Maybe the bloody activities inside had made him vent his inner violence. He even smiled at Kurita, which was very rare. "Everything has been dealt with here. Ask someone to clean up everything inside. Also, don't ask too many questions."
"Yes, yes, I know. I'm ready..." Kurita said as he and his subordinates hurriedly chased after Todd.
"No need for any extra hospitality, just do your own thing." Todd's face turned cold and he said in a cold tone.
Kurita didn't dare to say anything more, hesitantly stopped, watching Todd walk further and further away without stopping, as if he was going to leave immediately. Kurita hesitated for a moment, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned around to deal with the task left by Todd.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, Kurita Yu and his subordinates walked in, and then they could not take another step.
There were bodies everywhere, on the stairs, on the railings, on the tables, at the doorways, by the elevators.
From the owner to the front desk girl, even the guests who happened to stay here, including the pets that some guests brought in, all were dead. Bright red blood flowed on the ground, dripping down the stairs, and dyed the snow-white carpet red.
The spies here, apart from the boss, had at most one or two accomplices. After all, how could spies gather together? Most of the people here were innocent. They probably thought that as long as Todd investigated everything, they could leave safely. But now...
After a long time, Kurita spoke first. He said weakly, "Master Todd is right... This place really needs to be cleaned up."
"grown ups……"
"Don't say anything, don't ask." Kurita was silent for a while, then whispered, "Get to work."
