System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 656 - 304: How Can We Save Face? (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2
"But..."
"You are still young, without the means of the thunderbolt, many are eyeing this piece of fat meat in your hands. If you hand over the authority to me, I can ensure you a life of wealth and prosperity, and you can continue to be your lady, living a carefree life every day."
"If delayed further, others may act rashly, and their methods might not be as gentle as mine, who knows what they might do."
The girl blocked by a group of burly men, was not tall, only about 1.55 meters. At this moment, with her back against the wall, curled up in a corner, holding a plush doll in her hands. She looked up at the familiar yet strange elder, her voice quivering with a sob as she said, "Uncle Wang... you used to be so kind to me, why... why..."
"This was left to me by my father..."
"Didn’t you used to say that you only wanted to be the Deputy Train Captain for life and never wanted to be the Train Captain because you knew you didn’t have the ability?"
However.
The girl’s words seemed to stir something in the elder, who lightly sighed and said, "The past is the past, now is now."
"It’s precisely because the company was left by your father, I’ve poured so much effort into it that I don’t want to see it decline in your hands. I hope it can flourish."
"Furthermore."
"With so many brothers following me, even if I didn’t want to fight for the position of Train Captain, they wouldn’t agree."
"At the very least, to be blunt."
"Throughout the entire universe, which Deputy Train Captain dares to say they never want to be promoted?!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"I dare say!"
Old Pig, standing at the alley entrance, couldn’t hold back his displeasure and said one word at a time before Master Mang could speak: "Old dog, don’t project your failures onto others!"
"I, Old Pig, have never had any intention of becoming the Train Captain my whole life!"
"The unfaithful are hard to exonerate even after a hundred deaths."
Logically, it wasn’t his turn to speak before Master Mang spoke, but the words this guy said were piercing. He could clearly see that Biaozi’s look towards him was becoming peculiar, and he couldn’t stay silent any longer.
This damn thing is selling him out.
Master Mang doesn’t have children right now.
If he ever had children in the future, he might remember this incident someday and maybe, for the smooth succession of his child, he would just take him out.
"Who are you people?"
The elder turned around to look at the unwelcome guests at the alley entrance, slightly frowning: "We are discussing private matters, please avoid meddling."
...
"How nice."
Chen Mang, standing at the alley entrance, lowered his head to light a cigarette, then looked at the slightly dim alley ahead with a sigh: "If a city had no such gutter alleys, you might not have a place to have your conversations."
"Even if you want to bully someone."
"Can’t you find a private room or a secluded place, insisting on staying in an alley, as if afraid of not being discovered."
"I’m a naturally kind person, I can’t stand watching you bully others."
"I’ll save this girl."
He looked towards the girl curled up in the corner and smiled, beckoning: "Come this way."
The girl looked at Chen Mang, biting her lip, hesitating briefly before darting around the elder and jogging towards Chen Mang, finally stopping obediently behind him with a trace of panic and unease in her eyes.
This world.
A woman without any defenses yet holding great fortune is virtually synonymous with misfortune, bound to be consumed, just a matter of how it happens.
The elder raised his hand to interrupt the subordinate who was about to curse, sizing up Chen Mang and his group, and suddenly laughed: "In this day and age, there are still heroes who save beauties, quite rare."
"But perhaps you are mistaken." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"We are not bad people, she grew up under my watch, how could I harm her."
"On the contrary, you all."
"Appear quite extraordinary in demeanour, what’s your trade, care to share your name?"
Chen Mang flashed a neat row of white teeth, smiling gently: "Cosmic Pirates, Harlock, ever heard of us?"
"I’ve heard a bit."
"That’s nice."
Chen Mang didn’t call out the elder, he had just made up a name. It’s strange that the other actually heard of it, then he looked at the girl behind him, eyes filled with panic and smiled: "Let’s go, brother will take you to get something to eat, this world might not suit you."
"..."
The elder watched the backs of Chen Mang and the others leave, his expression shifting unpredictably. Unsure of these people’s background, he didn’t dare to act rashly, and only said softly: "Sanmao, follow them, see where they go, I’ll go report to Mr. Li."
"Yes."
...
Cultivation Civilization, Central State City.
Inside a commercial complex skyscraper at 108 floors high, Chen Mang and others sat by the window of a restaurant on the 98th floor, looking at the food on the table, as the waiter introduced each dish.
This was a restaurant with decent quality in the city.
It was opened by the ’Sword Sect,’ one of the Five Major Sects, and all the food was Spirit Beast Meat, melting in the mouth with a unique flavor.
It’s an experience hard to find on other planets.
"Quite interesting."
Chen Mang picked up a piece of meat drizzled in sauce and put it in his mouth, lightly raising his eyebrows; the texture was very unique, melting in the mouth without any need to chew, heavily flavorful and sweet. After swallowing it, a warm sensation spread in his stomach, quite comforting.
But the drawbacks were also obvious.
Lacked the chewiness of meat, overly sweet.
Good for occasional tasting.
Not very suitable for regular meals; by comparison, he preferred Fang’s scallion oil noodles.
"Remind me to catch some Spirit Beasts to take back, keep them on the train before we leave."
Chen Mang casually instructed while gazing at the view outside the window.
At this moment—
The girl sitting opposite, having not touched her chopsticks throughout, appeared somewhat nervous and uneasy, looking up at Chen Mang with tentative inquiry: "They all call you Master Mang, so I’ll call you Master Mang too. Thank you for your help, can I leave now? I’ll repay you when I get the chance."
