Chapter 55 Pure Water Celebration Chapter 3
Navia and Clorinde also came to Qiuhe's side. Navia spoke directly, "Lei, you're here for the Pure Water Celebration Festival, right?"
Clementine and Lily, who were standing nearby, also greeted Navia. "Lei told us that today is the Water God's birthday. We really wanted to see the Water God, so we came very early. We are making a wish by the wishing well."
Navia was puzzled upon hearing this, then turned to Lu Jingquan beside her, "Is this the wishing well that Clover is talking about?" Clover quickly nodded, "Yes, does Fontaine have any other wishing wells?"
Navia then said, "But this isn't a wishing well, uh, no, it is a wishing well, but this one is for lovers to wish for a child."
"Is Clementine wishing for her mother to give her a younger brother or sister?" Clementine and Lily paused for a few seconds upon hearing this, then both their faces flushed red.
Looking at Qiuhe beside me, Qiuhe had already covered his head with his clothes and was quietly squatting on the ground. If there was an ant on the ground, Qiuhe would probably attach himself to it and run away.
Clementine and Lily eventually covered their faces and ran away. "What is Leyi doing squatting here?" Qiuhe heard this and said repeatedly, "No, I'm not, I'm not Leyi, I don't know who Leyi is, I'm just an ant."
Navia pulled Qiuhe up and immediately took his arm. "Leyi, when are you going to Qianhai next time? Be sure to call me when you go!" Qiuhe was about to say something...
But instantly, Qiuhe sensed an extremely strong killing intent emanating from behind Navia. He looked up immediately and saw Cares staring at him with a dark expression. Qiuhe looked into Cares' eyes…
I felt like I'd seen that look somewhere before. Then, some images suddenly flashed through my mind: "Damn it, you touched our captain and you have the nerve to say I was wrong? It's disgusting! Today I'll take your head!"
Qiuhe shuddered at the thought, glancing at Navia, who was clinging to his arm, and then at Kares, whose gaze grew increasingly fierce.
If looks could kill, Qiuhe would probably be Qiuhe sashimi by now. Qiuhe saw it in that look too; it was like an old father watching his own cabbage being eaten by a pig right before his eyes.
Qiuhe quickly tried to pry Navia's hand away, but Navia was in a very happy mood and stuck to him like chewing gum, impossible to shake off.
Carles's gaze grew increasingly uneasy. "Nanana, Nanavia, let go a minute. Your father is right here. It's not appropriate for you to hug a boy like that. Men and women shouldn't be so close."
Navia laughed and said, "What's wrong with it? Brother Leyi isn't a bad person." Hearing this, Kares clenched his fists tightly.
Qiuhe knew that if it weren't for the large crowd, he would probably be lying dead in the wilderness by now. Suddenly, Qiuhe's eyes caught sight of a fat man with sunglasses, a top hat, and a cane walking out of the crowd.
Several men who looked like bodyguards were following beside her. "Navia, Navia, wait a minute, who is that person?" Navia heard Qiuhe's words, turned around, and saw the man wearing sunglasses.
"It's Ranach, huh? He's Fontaine? A business tycoon, so annoying, always so domineering," Ranach said, his eyes darting around before settling on Qiuhe.
And then she saw Kares, who was wearing a coat, standing nearby. Kares heard Lanah's voice and slowly turned his head. Lanah noticed Kares's strange look and hurriedly looked away. Qiuhe, seeing his flustered demeanor, felt he might be hiding something.
Kares noticed Ranach's furrowed brow, as if deep in thought, then winked at Miles and Silver beside him.
Miles and Silver nodded slightly and slipped into the crowd. Qiuhe wondered if Cares was wary of this man named Ranach.
As soon as Kares turned around, Qiuhe was already in front of him, slowly extending her hand. "Hello, Uncle, my name is Leyi. You must be the president of the Rose Society. I've heard so much about you, it's an honor to meet you."
Seeing the boy extend his hand with a sincere smile, Kares remained indifferent, staring intently at Qiuhe from head to toe before finally fixing his gaze on Qiuhe's face.
His eyes, nose, mouth, and face were all very handsome, and his genuine smile was obvious to Kares, but the thought that this child had previously faced a fake exam made him hesitate.
Looking at Qiuhe's smile now, a feeling of disgust welled up inside him. He thought to himself, "With a face that looks like he's always flirting with women, no wonder he's surrounded by so many girls." Kares, with an icy expression, slowly raised his hand and grasped Qiuhe's hand.
Qiuhe still wore that sincere smile, but at the same time, he sensed something was wrong. Kares's hand was gradually increasing its pressure, and Qiuhe's eyelids twitched, but the smile on his face didn't fade.
But the more Kares looked at that smile, the angrier he became. In his eyes, the smile was now full of provocation. Kares tightened his grip, as if he wanted to crush Qiuhe's hand.
Meanwhile, Peruvieri keenly sensed something amiss. She saw that Akikawa's hand was deforming at a visible speed, as if it would be crushed off at any moment.
Peruvelli's eyes sharpened instantly, a hint of murderous intent flashing as she looked at Kares. Kares felt that fierce gaze, but he didn't back down; instead, he increased the pressure on his hands.
A crisp cracking sound, "crack," echoed through the air. "Huh? What was that sound?" Navia looked around blankly, trying to find the source of the sound. However, only Clorind and Peruvier knew clearly that it was the sound of Akikawa's hand being crushed by Kares.
Seeing this, Peruvieri unhesitatingly placed her hand on the Tenmoku Kagekatana at her waist. Kares noticed Peruvieri's action.
At the same time, I noticed her peculiar eye—the pupil was a pair of bright red crosses. And at this moment, those red crosses were gradually becoming even more scarlet, as if they were about to burst into flames.
Peruvelli did not act impulsively. She knew that the other party was Navia's father, but if Qiuhe's life was threatened, he would not hesitate to draw his sword against Kares.
As his hand bones shattered, the smile on Qiuhe's face gradually faded, his face twitched uncontrollably, and his complexion turned extremely pale. Yet, he gritted his teeth and persevered, not uttering a sound, his gaze fixed on Kares with unwavering determination.
His eyes seemed to say, "I put your daughter in danger, so consider this hand my way of returning the favor!"
Looking into the child's determined eyes, Kares gradually loosened his grip, gave Qiuhe a low hum, then picked up Navia and left Lu Jingquan.
"See you later at the Opiclie Opera House, bye-bye."
Qiuhe stretched out his left hand with difficulty to wave goodbye to Navia. Peruvier also quickly came to Qiuhe's side and found that Qiuhe's face was covered with tiny beads of sweat.
His already shattered hand was trembling uncontrollably. Clorinde spoke up from the side, "Take Ley to get her hand treated first. If we delay any longer, he might lose his hand."
Finally, Clarinde left with Kares and the others. After Kares left, Qiuhe's face relaxed, and he slumped to his knees on the ground. "Leiyi, let me take you to get your hands treated first."
Qiuhe slowly raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need it. Finally, he channeled his inner power into his shattered hand, and then the hand slowly began to heal itself, bit by bit.
Thinking to himself, "No wonder he's a yakuza boss, he really goes all out," Qiuhe stretched his hand one last time and found it was fully healed. He was also relieved that Kares had stopped in time.
If he had been kneading his hand while it was broken, and if the bone had gotten embedded in the flesh, it might not have been able to heal completely.
Then Qiuhe quickly raised his head and scanned the crowd, spotting the man named Ranach.
“Peruvelli, the plan has changed. You stay here and keep an eye on that man named Lanah, but be careful not to alert him. I'm going to Fontaine to check on the situation.”
