Last Totem Novel - Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Heart And Chest

Nine hours after Eva Green hung up, Tie Zha woke up in the spacious VIP room 1 at 24 a.m. Silver City time and 105 p.m. Satt time. After some grooming, he put on a dark blue major general uniform and a large brimmed military hat with three golden chains and a platinum badge. Upon closer inspection, a blooming bauhinia flower was engraved in the middle of the badge. On the left side of the bauhinia flower was a hyacinth, and on the right side was a magnificent bead of sand. This was the symbol of the Golden Triangle, representing the three bloodlines of the Lombardi Clan.

This uniform was prepared for him by Eva Grinth, the treasurer. After putting on his clothes, he stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his collar. Then, he walked out of the door energetically and came to his office.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoyun, the secretary in charge of the stronghold, who had just been appointed a few hours ago, had already brewed tea and was waiting for him in the office.

“Good morning, General Sacha.” Seeing Tie Zha walk in, Bai Xiaoyun immediately stood up and greeted him loudly.

“Call the Guild Leader.” Tie Zha frowned and ordered.

“Yes, General.” Bai Xiaoyun replied.

“What do you want?” Tie Zha first looked at him, then grinned and asked.

“Boss, according to the rules of Silver City World, the person in charge of the stronghold is at least a major general.” Bai Xiaoyun insisted. The reason for his insistence was very simple. If Tie Zha was a general, then he would be the general’s chief of staff. He had raised his rank by several notches in vain.

“The rank of general must be conferred by the World Council. Don’t think that I don’t know.” Said Tie Zha. Cozan had already taught him this basic knowledge.

“The Golden Grand Duke of the Lombar Family has the right to grant the following military ranks to the General.” Bai Xiaoyun argued.

“And then?” Tie Zha placed his hands on his chest and asked with interest.

‘”Sir Guild Leader, please have some tea” Bai Xiaoyun said. Tie Zha looked at him first, walked to the sofa and sat down, then picked up a small teacup and took a sip. After a while, Iron Cinder finished his tea and breakfast, and asked Bai Xiaoyun to call Edward Sorsch over. When facing the iron slag, the latter still had a look of disapproval and asked in a stiff tone, “What do you want?”

“Your application has been rejected. During the change of fortress, all hired teams will not be allowed to leave their posts without permission.” Tie Zha said expressionlessly.

“What do you mean?” Edward Southie asked with a frown.

“Unless you are willing to pay liquidated damages.” Tie Zha added indifferently.

“You!” Edward pointed at Tie Zha and said excitedly, “Don’t think …”

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Xiaoyun’s sharp duck voice, “Impudent! Are you talking to the officer?”

“Who is the officer? It’s you?” Edward turned around and looked at Bai Xiaoyun provocatively.

“Edward Sossi, in front of you is the person personally appointed by Assistant Green as the head of the Tyre Stronghold. You are the academy team hired by the Tyre Stronghold. According to the rules of the Academy Alliance, the person in charge of the Tyre Stronghold is your commander.”

“I’m not like this …”

Just as Edward spoke, he was interrupted by Bai Xiaoyun again, “Your current actions are in defiance of the rules of the Academy Alliance, the rights of the Temple Princess, and the dignity of the Golden Triangle. You’re courting death!”

Edward’s entire body trembled as soon as he said those words. Bai Xiaoyun immediately gave him three big hats, making him unable to breathe. Immediately after, Bai Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and said fiercely, “Please apologize to our stronghold’s commander, Captain Sa Jia Qi. Otherwise, I will report the situation to Assistant Green and let her judge your actions.”

A moment later, Edward Sosi, who was covered in cold sweat, struggled to squeeze out two words. “Hug … I’m sorry …”

“Who are you apologizing to?” Bai Xiaoyun asked mercilessly.

At this moment, Tie Zha raised his hand, signaling for Bai Xiaoyun to retreat. The latter glanced at Edward and took a step back.

‘”Commander Edward, maybe we had some conflicts before, but it’s all over” Tie Zha paused and said in a relaxed tone, “I don’t want to pursue the past. I just hope that in the next few days, we can do our part and defend her castle for the Temple Princess and fight for our honor.”

“I … I understand …” Edward hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

“That’s it. You go back and rest first. I will arrange a specific task in two days.” Tie Zha gave a tactful eviction order. Edward nodded and turned to leave the office.

Shortly after Edward left, Bai Xiaoyun stepped forward to open the office door and looked out for a while. After confirming that the former was far away, he closed the door and came to Tie Zha’s side. He lowered his voice and asked, “Boss, do you want to” At this point, he made a throat-cutting gesture and did not finish the second half of his sentence.

“Huh?” Tie Zha turned to look at Bai Xiaoyun and asked with a puzzled expression, “How do you know?”

“You did it too clearly. If you really wanted to kill him, you should have scolded him fiercely just now and maintained your original attitude, so that he wouldn’t be suspicious.” Bai Xiaoyun said anxiously.

Hearing what he said, Tie Zha remembered Edward’s expression just now, and immediately came to his senses. He punched his palm and said, “It was my carelessness.”

“I can guess, so can he.” Bai Xiaoyun speculated.

Tie Zha thought for a while and felt that even if Edward guessed his intentions, there was nothing he could do about him. He said, “Ignore him. He can’t openly challenge You Ge’s authority for a guess.”

“You Ge?” Bai Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, then reminded, “Boss, although we are … we are currently employed by Assistant Green, isn’t it inappropriate for us to address Her Highness by her name?”

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded, acknowledging Bai Xiaoyun’s words. Actually, it was only for a moment that he called out his name.

“Boss, look, you’re the person in charge of Tyre Stronghold now …” Bai Xiaoyun said hesitantly.

“Speak.” Tie Zha tilted his head to look at Bai Xiaoyun and ordered in a low voice.

Bai Xiaoyun rubbed the captain’s shoulders as he said, “Give me a raise … salary …”

“Alright.” Tie Zha said helplessly.

“Thank you, boss. Thank you.” Bai Xiaoyun said excitedly.

The two then drank tea and discussed the details of managing Tyre Stronghold. Unknowingly, a few hours passed. Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He arrived at the office near lunch. As soon as they entered, they stared straight at Bai Xiaoyun and said that they wanted to report on their work. When the latter saw this, he immediately tactfully said that he was hungry, and then ran away …

Looking at Bai Xiaoyun’s departing figure, the two women looked at each other and smiled. They sat down beside Tie Zha, one on the left and one on the right. They pushed his arm and said,

‘”Wow ~ Lord General is so handsome today ~” “Really ~ Why haven’t I noticed it before ~” “Isn’t this dress very valuable?” “That’s not true. Vidal customized edition, a set of thousands of gold coins.” ‘”Thousands! Woo-hoo! Let me touch them!” “Oh, Ke-er, if you ruin them, I’ll pay for them with meat! I’ll pay for them with meat!” “I’ll pay for them with meat!”

Tie Zha was pushed left and right by the two women. He immediately rolled his eyes and stood up.

“Wow! Lord General doesn’t want us anymore! Lord General, don’t leave!”

“This is a war zone.” Tie Zha’s forehead was covered with blue veins, and he reminded her unhappily.

Seeing that the Guild Leader was unhappy, the two women hurriedly put away their smiles, sat upright and began to report on their work.

“The mecha team has successfully entered the warehouse.” “There is no financial expenditure today.” With one sentence from each of the two women, they finished reporting on their work …

“Very good.” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

“Lord Guild Leader’s eyes are so terrifying ~” “Are they red ~ Are they insomnia?” The two women said pretentiously.

However, just as they were about to start a fight with Tie Zha, Edward Southie, who had just returned to his room, looked restless and restless until he put on his heavy power armor and gradually calmed down. Commander Sa Jia Qi’s abnormal behavior made him alert. When he thought of the other party’s cold gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine. This person was a mad dog amongst the commoners at the bottom. He would never let go of anyone who bit him. What shocked him the most was that this person had actually won the favor of both the Temple and the Temple. It was simply not something he could resist.

At first, he was dazzled by interest and discrimination. He once thought that the other party was just a bold, slightly lucky, and clever Far East commoner. Now, it seemed that he had indeed misjudged this person. He did not expect that this person would hide his true identity and have such a terrifying background.

In his thoughts, cold sweat soaked his back. He knew very well that in the following days, as long as he was careless, he would fall into an irreversible situation, and he could not think of any way to contend against it …

However, Edward Sosi only thought of himself, and felt that Sacha was bound to harm him. However, in reality, the latter did not have a strong desire to kill him. One had to know that people from Tieshan Town had lived a life of licking blood from a young age. In order to survive, either you kill me or I kill you, so as long as there is no conflict of interest or deep hatred, there is no need to fight. Over the years, there were many people in Tieshan Town who wanted to kill Tie Zha, and there were also many people that Tie Zha wanted to kill, but most of them were still alive. This was the custom of the Northern Wilderness. No one was willing to waste their time and effort fighting without any benefits.

In fact, it was because Edward Sossie himself was a man who would repay him that he mistakenly assumed that everyone in the world was like him, clinging to contradictions all day long. Although Eva Green had expressed her wish to Tie Zha, as the person in charge of Tyre Stronghold, the latter would definitely put the overall situation first. As the saying goes, receiving people’s money and helping them dissipate their calamity, that personal grudge would always be a small matter, and guarding the stronghold would be a big matter. Whether it was Assistant Green or Tie Zha, they knew where the center of gravity was.

However, those narrow-minded people would never be able to think of this …
