Branch 329, which had experienced fierce fighting, was devastated.

In the living room, Colonel Bacco, the top officer of the branch base, received the two major generals with almost tears in his eyes. He grabbed Nosha's right hand and shook it vigorously:

"You are really too strong, Major General Noxia!"

"I saw everything that happened just now. Thanks to you, otherwise if our branch 329... were attacked by pirates, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

His emotions were so sincere that even his excited voice changed its tone.

It took a lot of effort for Nuo Xia to get rid of this guy. He looked at the liquid in his hand, which he didn't know whether it was snot or tears. The corners of his eyes twitched, and Peach Rabbit next to him looked amused.

"We are both in the navy, so support is our duty. There is no need to thank me like this."

Resisting the urge to kick this guy, Nuo Xia sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked at Bako, shook his head slightly and said:

"Besides, Colonel Bacco did me a small favor back then, so I can just repay him this time."

Did you do a little favor?

When have we met?

Colonel Bacco looked at Nuoxia blankly. He only knew that the man in front of him was the major general and deputy base commander who had just been transferred from the headquarters. He should have never interacted with him at all...

"When you first met me is when you met him."

Taotu was drinking tea at the side and said calmly.

"Eh?"

Baco was stunned for a moment.

When did you first see Peach Rabbit?

Of course I remember it very clearly. On that day, more than half a year ago, the entire 329th branch base was in a sensation due to the arrival of this flower of the headquarters.

He was also very excited at the time, but unfortunately Taotu looked coldly to her throughout the whole process, kept her distance, and did not give him a chance to have a relationship, which made him quite regretful.

On the same day...

Bacco looked at Nuo Xia again, and the extraordinary and handsome face in front of him suddenly overlapped with a vague figure in his impression. His eyes widened suddenly and he shouted out loud:

"It's you!"

The kid who disturbed his dreams and came to ask for a boat in the middle of the night!

Is it so difficult to recognize? Nuo Xia picked up the tea cup and was speechless for a while.

However, it was night after all, the light was not very clear, and his appearance and temperament had changed a lot in the past six months.

At this moment, wearing the white cloak of justice and displaying the majesty of a rear admiral, Bacco didn't think of it for a while, which is understandable.

only……

Nuo Xia glanced at Peach Rabbit and laughed in his heart.

I guess Bacco would never have thought that the Peach Rabbit he saw back then was also him.

"Major General..."

Baco felt uneasy, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Then, that night, I failed to recognize your identity, and there was something wrong with my attitude. Please...please forgive me..."

What a disappointment.

Seeing his reaction, Nuo Xia shook his head inwardly. Before meeting him, he thought that this guy had a brilliant record in the past six months and that he must have improved in strength and character. He might have completed the transformation like Kebi.

Unexpectedly, this is still the virtue.

"There's no need for this, Colonel. I'm just feeling a little emotional when I see my old friend. I'm not here to settle a score with you."

Nuo Xia waved his hand, not wanting to continue sitting here and dealing with this guy. After drinking the cup of tea, he turned to look at Taotu and said with a smile: "It's rare to come back to Gur Island and walk around together?"

"What does it mean to come back? I've never been here before."

Taotu rolled her eyes at him, but still stood up and stretched, "It's up to you, let's go."

She naturally stretched out her slender white right hand, and Nuo Xia grasped her hand as if he was already used to it.

The two intertwined their fingers and walked out of the door closely, stepping into the snow outside the door, leaving Bacco's two figures drifting away.

Eh?

Baco was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. What is the situation? Are the two major generals from the first branch base actually still a couple????

The other 329 branches of the navy around them looked at Nuo Xia's retreating back with envy.

Having met Taotu more than half a year ago, they were fascinated by this famous beauty from the headquarters and had long been impressed by her charm.

Unexpectedly, when we met again now, the other party would already be a famous woman.

A sour atmosphere spread in the living room, and after Bacco recovered from the shock, he sat on the sofa with his eyes flashing, thinking for a moment, then suddenly stood up and left the living room.

Walking through the long corridor, he went straight back to his room.

After locking the door, he came to the window and carefully looked around to make sure that Nuoxia Peach Rabbit had gone away. Then Bacco took out a miniature telephone bug from the drawer of his bedside table.

The phone bug has a dark blue body with dark stripes. It is a rare species. It encrypts calls and is extremely difficult to eavesdrop.

After the voice of "Bulu Bulu" rang for a long time, someone finally answered the phone.

"How's the situation? Did you escape?"

A mellow and deep man's voice came from over there.

"I didn't escape. Thanks to the pirates' fishing mentality, they dragged us until the reinforcements from the first branch arrived."

Bacco glanced at the floor at the end of his bed, where he had prepared an escape route.

"But for this matter, should you give me an explanation? Do you know why the Altin that I killed before had such a powerful brother? I almost died in his hands."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before he spoke quietly:

"What, are you questioning me?"

This voice was so sinister that even though it was thousands of miles away, Bacco couldn't help but shudder. He suppressed the resentment in his heart and said cautiously:

"I don't dare, Mr. Corleone, but I think that in order for our plan to be realized early, you should probably pay more attention when selecting targets next time..."

"It's not your turn to remind you yet."

The man on the other end of the phone interrupted him coldly, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly:

"Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. After the Navy officially decides to transfer you to the first branch, I will start arranging a great achievement for you."

"If nothing else happens, you will be promoted to Commodore and transferred to the Navy Headquarters within half a year at most."

"Big credit?" Bacco was slightly startled, "You are finally ready to hand that girl over to me..."

"It's not her. It's too early."

There was a "pop" sound from the other end of the phone, as if the man had lit a cigarette, "There is no need to throw this card away so quickly before squeezing out the last bit of her use value."

"Yes, I understand."

————

The phone hangs up.

On a small island thousands of miles away, a blond man about forty or fifty years old threw the phone aside, walked out with a cigar in his mouth, and came to a secret room underground.

In the secret room.

A small figure was squatting in the corner with his knees in his arms, his whole body seemed to be submerged in the shadows that could not be illuminated by candles.

Hearing the footsteps near her ears, she raised her head numbly, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

This was clearly a little girl less than ten years old, with long black hair and a pale and haggard face. She was wearing a worn and yellowed white dress and sea-floor stone handcuffs. There were traces of being beaten on her body, and the blood scabs had not yet healed.

The big dark green eyes should have been very beautiful, but at the moment they were dull and lacked any sparkle.

"You've had lunch, it's almost time to rest, right?"

The blond man looked at the girl with long black hair in the corner and blew out a puff of smoke.

The black-haired girl pursed her pale, dry lips and remained silent.

"Please explain what happened to Altin this time."

The blond man didn't take it seriously. He narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "Bako almost died in this revenge operation. Did you know the relationship between the White Pigeon Pirates and Alkin, so you deliberately chose him?"

Target? Want to borrow his hand to put an end to the plan to destroy me?"

The black-haired girl lowered her head silently, still not intending to answer.

"It's been in my hands for half a year, and you're still so stubborn."

The blond man sneered and slowly pulled out the slender belt from his waist, "If you don't answer honestly, you should know the consequences, right?"

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound, and the belt was suddenly pulled out like a thin lightning whip.

In the candlelight, the thin body of the black-haired girl trembled suddenly, huddled towards the corner in pain, but still did not make a sound.

"Say it or not, huh?"
