So, during their pleasant conversation, Little White and Lexington decided on Richelieu's fate.
Richelieu, bound to the ground, stared in shock at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, still reeling from the fact that he seemed to have been sold.
what's the situation?
You sold me into your garrison right in front of me?
Did you get my consent?
This is kidnapping!
“I…” So Richelieu decided to express his opinion.
“Richelieu, is there anything you want to say?” Lexington looked down at Richelieu, his face full of a friendly smile. “Oh, you’re not going to say something about disagreeing or something, are you?”
"..."
"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, didn't Richelieu kidnap my admiral back then?"
"..."
“That incident has cast a long shadow over my admiral’s life. She’s still so young, and this has had such a huge impact on her. What if she becomes withdrawn and can’t find friends when she grows up because of it…” Lexington said wistfully, covering her mouth. “As her parent, seeing my child’s future like this makes me so anxious that I can’t eat or sleep, and I cry day and night. Richelieu, do you know how much this has affected us? Waaah…”
"……sorry."
"No need to apologize. I know it wasn't your fault; it was just your admiral's order. You don't need to blame yourself. But no matter what, it's what you did. The way you forcibly took the admiral back then still left a deep impression on her mind. So I need you to come and stay at our naval base for a while, just a short time. You'll be treated to good food and drink; I just ask that you show my admiral the good side of humanity to save her heart, which is gradually losing trust in strangers..."
“…” Richelieu wavered again.
"For the sake of my admiral's physical and mental well-being, you... will you agree?" Lexington asked slowly, looking at Richelieu with a bright smile.
"I……"
"Yes, I will?" Lexington asked Richelieu slowly.
Richelieu watched as Lexington's face drew closer and closer, as if hypnotized, his eyes slowly swirling into vortexes as he stared blankly at Lexington.
“Okay,” Richelieu replied.
"Okay~ Then I, Lexington, on behalf of all the ship girls in the naval base, sincerely welcome Richelieu to the naval base." Lexington clapped her hands and said.
As Lexington clapped his hands, Richelieu suddenly woke up.
"Huh?!" Richelieu then realized that he didn't know why Lexington had suddenly led him down that line and he had inexplicably joined someone else's naval base.
“Be a person of your word,” Lexington said to Richelieu, who had just woken up. “Even I get angry when I encounter a child who doesn’t keep their word.”
Richelieu looked at Lexington's expression and thought about what she had whispered to him earlier. Suddenly, he felt a chill run through his body and his limbs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Make way! Make way!" Just then, the police officers, who were always late, finally arrived.
A group of ship girls were running around and causing a ruckus in the amusement park, attracting a crowd of onlookers. The police officers couldn't pretend nothing had happened.
Just then, a row of young men in dark blue security uniforms pushed through the crowd and ran over.
They immediately spotted Richelieu and the other ship girls tied to the ground in the central open space.
The head of the security guards came up and asked, "Excuse me, were you the ones who caused the commotion just now?"
The riot, of course, refers to the chase that took place earlier at the amusement park.
“Ah, it’s us.” Lexington bowed to the security guards. “I’m sorry for the trouble we’ve caused you.”
"Oh..." The security guard looked at Richelieu, who was tightly bound with rope on the ground, "What are you doing?"
“This one?” Lexington said with a smile, pointing to Richelieu on the ground. “This is our old friend; we’re all together.”
"Tie up your old friend with a rope?" The security guard looked at him as if he were kidding him.
“That’s just a prop. Actually, it’s tied very loosely. You can break free easily.” Lexington’s expression remained unchanged as she slowly explained, “After all, props these days are very realistic.”
The security guard looked at the tightly fastened rope that was almost squeezing Richelieu's flesh apart, and his suspicion was undisguised.
"...You're not some kind of pyramid scheme or human trafficking organization, are you? That's illegal, I'm calling the police." The security guard said, reaching for his walkie-talkie at his waist.
Lexington did not stop the security guards, but instead turned his gaze to Richelieu, his eyes conveying a clear message.
Xiaobai and her friends weren't afraid of security guards calling. Even if the police came, it would only waste Xiaobai's time and energy explaining her identity. Things would still develop the same way. These statements were made with the idea that it's better to avoid trouble.
Richelieu sat up, sighed, and then snapped the ropes binding him, rubbing his wrists as he stood up.
The security guard, who was about to tell his colleagues that he was going to call the police, was so shocked by Richelieu's snapping of the rope that he was speechless.
“Ricciulius, come here, explain this to this young man.” Lexington said kindly to Richelieu, “How could we, a few weak women, be part of a kidnapping gang or a pyramid scheme, right?”
What a load of rubbish, a weak woman!
Although Richelieu had a lot of complaints she wanted to make, she had no choice but to nod to the security guard because of the implication that Lexington and the dozen or so ship girls around her could easily defeat her.
“The rope is a prop,” Richelieu told the security guard.
The security guard stared blankly at the rope on the ground.
The rope on the ground had no cuts, and the breaks were jagged, showing no signs of human intervention.
Wow, are props these days really this realistic?
"What exactly are you doing?"
“Hmm…a theatrical rehearsal?” Lexington said. “A railway chase or something?”
"A railway chase drill being practiced in an amusement park?!"
“In terms of drama, they’re all pretty much the same,” Lexington said.
The security guard felt he was slowly being persuaded.
"You must be one of the vendors here, right?" the security guard asked Richelieu. "Didn't you read the contract when you signed it? It said you couldn't make noise or cause a disturbance in the amusement park."
Richelieu, known as the "Cotton Candy Beauty," is quite famous at the amusement park, so even the security guards know her.
"I'm sorry," Richelieu apologized to the security guard, suppressing his grievances.
Richelieu felt that today was truly the worst day of his life.
"Alright, alright, stop crowding around, everyone disperse." The security guard saw that Richelieu didn't seem to have any desire to ask for help, and he wasn't in the mood to ask whether these people were a kidnapping gang or not.
He was, after all, just a police officer at the amusement park, and Richelieu wasn't a tourist, so he had no obligation to take responsibility for Richelieu. Thus, the security guards came and went quickly, giving Richelieu a verbal warning before dispersing most of the onlookers and leaving.
Seeing that more and more people were staring at them, Xiaobai and the ship girls felt they shouldn't stay there any longer, so they quickly left under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Of course, Richelieu was with him before he left.
Lexington didn't even give Richelieu a chance to pack up her stall or go back to her accommodation to unpack her luggage before taking her directly back to the hotel suite she had booked.
Lexington lured Richelieu to the naval base under the pretext of being a "guest".
In the hotel suite, Lexington sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Richelieu, who stood somewhat reserved in front of her, with an incredibly bright smile on her face.
However, now that Richelieu has entered the garrison, even if she is there as a guest, she may never be able to return.
Speaking of which, didn't Saratoga get beaten up by Richelieu?
Lexington, as the older sister, couldn't just ignore this matter and leave it unresolved...
Thinking of this, Lexington's smile became even brighter.
Chapter 339 Once you've entered my house, you're family!
“Richelyu, may I ask you something? Do you know much about our naval base?” Lexington asked Richelieu, who was standing in front of her, surrounded by a group of ship girls and looked very nervous.
Richelieu nodded slightly: "I know a little."
"Your admiral told you that?"
“She doesn’t tell me these things.”
"How did you know that?"
“She would occasionally talk to herself, and you could hear it if you were standing next to her,” Richelieu said.
Therefore, talking to yourself is a bad habit.
“Then tell me what you know,” Lexington asked.
“You are the world’s number one naval base, with powerful combat capabilities and numerous ship girls. If you get serious, you could even overthrow a small country in a short time.” Richelieu said slowly, then paused, “The former admiral was also a… bastard.”
Fearing that his last words might anger Lexington, Richelieu looked up and glanced at Lexington's expression a few times.
“That’s right, he’s an idiot.” Lexington covered her mouth and laughed, showing no sign of anger. “Very true, anything else?”
“He’s a humanoid self-propelled gun, a lolicon, a narcissist, a destroyer fiancé, a severe sister complex, a pervert, a bastard who thinks he can do whatever he wants with money, a dog seal who likes to show off when he’s bored, a mysterious man that at least 10,000 people wish would die and be reincarnated as soon as possible…” Richelieu said the above words expressionlessly, without any emotional fluctuation in his words.
However, Xiaobai was able to imagine the expression on Mùxi’s face as he was talking to himself based on Richelieu’s words.
Hmm... it seems like my brother got really badly scolded.
But for some reason, I felt relieved.
Xiao Bai listened to these disrespectful words to his brother, but subtly wanted to laugh.
The person who could say such a thing shouldn't be my brother's real enemy.
Lexington's eyes narrowed.
Richelieu shut his mouth in time.
"Wow, so many negative words! Are there any words of praise?" Lexington asked.
Richelieu was conflicted.
It seems that Muxi did not say anything good about Brother Xiaobai in front of Richelieu.
"Alright, alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Let's put aside our evaluation of Lu Yun for now. What else do you know about the naval base?"
“…You are very rich,” Richelieu said, bowing his head.
"Is it gone?"
"Gone."
Lexington nodded: "Ricelius doesn't seem to know much about our naval base either."
“Since Richelieu, you’re about to arrive at the naval base, I’ll tell you a little secret about our base,” Lexington said with a smile. “This is a top-secret that we haven’t told anyone outside the naval base.”
Richelieu looked at Lexington, seemingly curious about the secret.
“We have a Deepsea Director locked up in our naval base,” Lexington said with a smile.
Richelieu's expression instantly turned to shock.
“Dean of the Deep Sea?” Richelieu was quite shocked by Lexington’s indifferent expression.
Richelieu was quite surprised that such a powerful being was not adrift on the ocean but instead imprisoned in a garrison.
More importantly, the naval base is strictly prohibited from possessing Abyssal Fleet ships, and even though Richelieu is not a registered ship girl, she is well aware of this.
“Yes. Anyway, Richelieu, you’ll be arriving at the naval base soon, so you’ll find out about these things sooner or later.” Lexington looked at Richelieu’s shocked expression and seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.
Richelieu looked around at the ship girls.
The surrounding ship girls showed no surprise at Lexington's words, only a slightly strange expression as if Mrs. Lexington had spoken a little too soon.
It seems that Lexington was telling the truth.
"Which one is in the garrison?" Richelieu asked.
“Yamato.” Lexington said, waving at Richelieu, “Oh, by the way, don’t worry, Yamato is very well-behaved and will never bite, so please don’t imagine too much, or you might be disappointed when you see the real thing.”
Even though Lexington had given him that hint, Richelieu couldn't help but imagine it all.
Yamato is a legendary Abyssal commander who has been active on the high seas for a very long time. As the queen of Abyssal battleships, Yamato's power and aloofness are known to all ship girls and humans. Even now, Yamato remains one of the highest standards that ship girls imagine as the ultimate Abyssal commander.
Such a powerful deep-sea amphibious ship, is it really staying obediently in your naval base?
Richelieu's mind was filled with images of a beautiful, proud woman being cruelly and firmly pierced through the limbs by heavy chains, pinned to a hard stone wall, black blood seeping from her battered body down her fair skin, splashing onto the ground like cold flowers. Below the platform, hundreds of ship girls watched coldly, constantly monitoring the scene at the Deep Sea Yamato.
Even Richelieu felt a sudden chill at this moment.
“Richelieu?” Lexington interrupted her train of thought. “What are you thinking about?”
Richelieu's shoulders twitched slightly, then he shook his head.
Just as Muxi said, none of the ship girls in the world's number one naval base were easy to deal with.
"Why are you telling me this..." Richelieu asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Hmm? Because you’ll be entering the naval base sooner or later. Even if you can be kept in the dark for a day or two, you can’t hide these things from you for long,” Lexington said.
