Chapter 178 Stubbornness
Chapter 178 Stubborn
Eight days later, the first batch of star fragments were transported to Sophia's manor, and Steven was responsible for escorting them.
Dio and others have not been idle these days. They dug a cellar in the small courtyard where Dio lives to store star fragments. All the work was done by Dio, Gordon and Raymond. Without any prosthetic hands, the dug up floating soil was evenly sprinkled in the yard.
There are basically no irrelevant people entering here, and Gordon, Raymond and the savage have all moved here. Even if there is no one there, there is also the Fire Roar Beast to guard the house, so there is no problem in terms of safety.
After the carriage was placed, Dio and his men asked about the situation of the battle with concern.
"Haha, you didn't see it." Steven touched his bald head and laughed: "The Florvians are used to robbing others, but they were suddenly intercepted by us. When we said we wanted to rob, the expressions on those guys were so wonderful."
Dio and the others laughed, it was like a professional thief walking on the street and suddenly found a hand reaching into his pocket. He must have been more shocked than angry at that time.
"Is it the team of Judy's Ribbon in Firefox?" Dio asked.
"What a pity, it's not her." Steven smacked his lips: "There are only a bunch of little warriors, and we don't have any effort."
"Ha, fortunately it's not Judith, Gordon, otherwise your bounty would be taken away." Raymond said with a smile.
"What bounty?" Steven asked with a confused look on his face.
Gordon glared at Raymond fiercely: "Don't listen to him nonsense, that's not the case."
It would be better if Gordon didn't say this. As soon as he said that, others became more convinced that Raymond was true. Sophia and Steven, who were unaware of the inside story, couldn't help but ask.
When they learned that Goton had taken over the task of assassinating the leader of the Folangwei bandits, their eyes immediately became weird. This was no longer a matter of courage. It was not too unfair to take their lives seriously, right?
Sophia immediately made up her mind that when Dio goes out with Goton in the future, she must be more careful. With Goton's personality, she really can't tell what will happen.
"Young man, thanks to you not taking action, Judith, as an extreme warrior, is not that easy to mess with." Steven shook his head and did not say anything more.
"He has taken action long ago, but his life is good and he is not dead." Raymond said sarcastically.
Steven was speechless and had already taken action. He could still stand here now. His life was really great.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are a mute!" Geden said angrily.
Raymond smiled and stopped talking. His greatest pleasure seemed to be to make Ge Dun embarrassed. His goal has been achieved at this moment.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and the tall savage girl walked in. Now she should have called her Laura. Sophia just gave her a name casually, but she was so happy that she couldn't stop talking to her. Since then, she forgot to call her name when others talked to her, and she would definitely remind the other party.
Laura saw Steven in the middle of the yard and recognized that this person was in the same group as Spike who attacked him a few days ago. She immediately put on a vigilant posture. The kitten in her arms also cooperated with the owner. Her two little claws scratched the air and made a low roar.
"Don't, I'm not here to fight." Steven quickly explained that the last time Spike did it, although it was to create a suitable excuse, was ridiculed by Don and Steven afterwards for a long time, and released a crack attack at a little girl. This can no longer be described as a matter of being a big deal. It is simply a naked bully.
Steven didn't want to repeat Spike's mistakes, but then again, why are the little girl and her kitten so aggressive? Judging from this posture, it seems that he is ready to rush up to fight with him at any time.
"Don't be so nervous. I had misunderstandings a few days ago. Come and sit down." Dio said with a smile.
Laura's expression gradually relaxed. Although she didn't understand what the misunderstanding that Dio said represented, she still chose to believe that only Dio's words would play such a big role in her.
Originally, Dio was sitting on his right hand, Raymond was on the left, and there was an empty space between Gordon and Raymond, but Laura didn't even look at it, and walked straight to Dio, standing there like a piece of wood.
Everyone could see that Laura was going to sit next to Dio, but the problem was that there were people there.
The people present once again learned about Laura's stubbornness. She didn't speak, but just stood there. It seemed that if no one gave her the position, she would have stood like this.
The atmosphere became a little awkward. Sophia could not give up her position, and there was no reason. Laura was not a person from Dio, so only Raymond was left.
Raymond looked at Laura, then looked at the others, showing a defeated expression, and smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, you sit here."
Laura sat in the position that Raymond gave out very naturally, and didn't even say thank you to Raymond. Raymond felt depressed again and made a decision in her heart. She would not sit next to Dio in the future, so she would have to give up her position at the time. Why bother?
Sofia frowned slightly. The girl seemed to have a very high dependence on Dio. Strictly speaking, it had affected her normal life between her and Dio. It was not just today. In these days, as long as Laura wanted to see Dio, she would come directly, regardless of who was in Dio's room or what she was doing. Although she was not quarrel or making a fuss, she just sat there, but with more people, it would always affect the atmosphere.
But Sofia is hard to say. After all, she is a little girl. Laura’s past experience is very sympathetic. Moreover, it is a critical period for Laura to integrate into a normal society. Once she has a barrier or negative emotions such as inferiority complex in her heart, it will be even more difficult to deal with. Sofia is reluctant to scold this little girl with scars, and can only let her go helplessly. As long as she no longer makes any extraordinary actions, Sofia will pretend that she didn’t see it.
"By the way, the people from St. Tiss City are coming soon, right?" Steven looked tall and fierce, but his mind was very delicate. Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was a bit awkward, he changed the topic without a trace.
"Well, in another three or four days, it should be here." Dio nodded.
"So quickly..." Steven touched his bald head, calculated for a while in his mind, and then said, "It seems that the third batch of goods is too late."
"The third batch?" Dio and the others were stunned.
"Have the second batch of goods been received?"
Steven smiled and said, "It's no different from getting it. Calculate the time. You should have just set out from Qianxing Lake. They are all under our control. Don't worry, they can't fly into the sky."
Dio nodded. Farneville had to deal with the encirclement of Marquis Sain, so he would definitely not draw too many people to protect the convoy. Even if he could, Farneville would not dare to do that. As his old opponent, once Farneville was too much, Sarne could easily analyze his purpose. After all, Marquis Sain's people were always looking for the best star fragment mining area.
If Folangwei wants to keep the mining area as long as possible, he cannot let Sain discover that his troops were mobilized on a large scale. This just gives Dio and others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If Folangwei gives all his strength, even Baron Tang will find it difficult to get any advantage in Folangwei's hands.
"Then let's do it. After the second batch of goods is delivered, we will not come again. In fact, the two batches of goods are added together, and greed is not a good thing." Steven said after thinking about it.
Dio and his men looked at each other and nodded. At present, these star fragments are enough. After all, when they have not reached the level of Wu Zun, the demand for star fragments is limited.
But what is troublesome is that the cat has been "eating". Although every time the cat eats a piece of star fragment, Dio and the others feel sad, everyone is curious about what will it become after the cat eats so many star fragments and goes through the growth stage? It should be a very powerful monster, right?!
"When you meet with the people in Santis City, be careful and don't need to rush forward in everything, especially you." Steven's eyes fell on Gordon and said with a smile. In fact, he did not have the habit of teaching the younger generation a lesson, but Gordon was too embarrassed. Steven was afraid that he would also implicate Sophia and Dio when the time came.
"I know..." Geden said a little embarrassedly. Geden is no longer as prone to hot-headed as before. It is not that his personality has changed a lot, but that he has begun to understand how to think about other people. At least now Geden will never put the people around him in a dangerous situation because of his own affairs.
"Where is Uncle Tangen now?" Dio asked.
"He has gone west," Steven said: "We are going to welcome Fronway's second convoy."
"This time you are likely to encounter Judith, the Firefox, this time." Dio said.
"What? Worry about us?" Steven laughed hoarsely: "Do you think the three of us can't deal with one woman?"
Dio smiled and said nothing. Although these old members of the Tiger Regiment had shown shocking lethality, Judith was already very famous before joining the Folangwei Bandits Group. He walked alone on the Chris Plain, sometimes leaving behind bloody crimes one after another, sometimes without any harm to the caravans coming and going, all depends on her mood at the time. It was a very strange temper and capable female warrior. Since Theodore was killed, the battle combination has had fatal loopholes. To be precise, it is easy to defeat Judith, but it is difficult to kill Judith.
