Chapter 750: More Additives! Keep Adding!
Chapter 750: More Additives! Keep Adding!
On one side was the world, and on the other, integrity.
Facing this seemingly difficult choice, the female cleaner took a big gulp of water, suppressing the overwhelming sense of shame, and trembling, she slightly loosened her grip...
"Who are you?!!!"
A loud shout came from behind Lyon, startling the female cleaner, who nearly lost her grip and added more ingredients to the river.
At the same time, King Harvey, with a bruise on his neck, stared at the strange man in front of him, who was facing away and putting something into the Underground Hetian River. He suddenly widened his eyes and, holding a clearing rod in his hand, shouted sternly, "How did you get down here? Are you responsible for the anomalies in the Underground Hetian River?"
"?"
Hearing the shout, Lyon was taken aback and turned around curiously. He saw a blue-haired man with a large beard, leading a team of burly men in metal diving suits, swarming out of the descending ladder of the pipeline furnace.
The blue-haired man and his oddly dressed companions, armed with heavy-duty hooks and clearing tools, blocked the descent dock of the Underground Hetian River, sealing it off and trapping Lyon in the middle.
These people... were they the pipeline furnace managers of the Northern Kingdom?
Recognizing their attire, Lyon nodded in understanding.
To make the water in the Underground Hetian River spread quickly, he had almost destroyed all the pipelines in Hot River City. Naturally, the maintenance workers would come down to inspect the situation... But with time being of the essence, there was no room for argument!
Just as Lyon was about to knock them out temporarily, the female cleaner, who had come out due to the commotion, reached out and pushed aside her wet hair. With a look of astonishment, she shouted, "Brother?"
Brother?!
Upon hearing the female cleaner's words, both Lyon and the blue-haired man froze in unison.
Lyon, quicker to react, glanced at the blue-haired man's eyebrows, which were partially hidden by his beard, and then at their similar hair color. A realization dawned in his eyes.
Indeed, if the beard were shaved off, this man's features would resemble Melly's by at least forty percent. He must be her older brother, the current king of the Northern Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the blue-haired man, having heard the female cleaner's voice and seeing her familiar face, was first surprised and then enraged. He immediately raised the massive clearing tool and charged forward, shouting, "Let go of my sister... Ah!"
Although Lyon had taken the clearing tool from him and kicked him to the ground, the blue-haired man, now within a certain distance, clenched the beast horn hidden in his palm, preparing to use the life-saving anomaly given by the Aquarius Bureau Chief to rescue his sister, who had mysteriously appeared in the Hot River.
But at that moment, the female cleaner in the river seemed to remember something. She suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, stopping the beast horn from activating. With eyes full of delight, she exclaimed to Lyon, "Quick! Throw him in too!"
Huh?
Unlike the stunned blue-haired man, Lyon immediately understood the female cleaner's intention to "add more ingredients." He stared at the bewildered King Harvey and asked, "Are you full?"
Huh??
The situation was so absurd that the blue-haired man's brain almost crashed, unable to keep up with Lyon's train of thought. Instinctively, he nodded.
The next moment, he felt his collar tighten, and before he knew it, he was lifted by the collar and thrown into the scorching Underground Hetian River with a loud splash.
"Your Majesty Harvey, you couldn't have arrived at a better time!"
After a sincere compliment, Lyon held down the terrified king's face and pushed him into the river, vigorously scrubbing him to accelerate the activation of Tranquility.
The speed at which he dissolved into the river.
With the addition of the second Tranquil source, the Tranquil Bathwater, which had already "diluted" significantly, instantly intensified once more. A faint blue glow even emanated from the river's surface.
Huh???
The emergency pipeline workers who had rushed to the scene almost went crazy when they saw the madman who had grabbed King Harvey, holding his head and scrubbing him vigorously in the river. They all grabbed their tools and rushed forward, shouting.
However, Lyon, who was scrubbing the king vigorously to save Hot River City, had no time to pay them any attention. He merely turned and glared at them, and a hint of his fear power leaked out, instantly knocking down more than forty pipeline workers!
"You're not...gurgle...not Melly?"
Seeing that Lyon was busy dealing with the pipeline workers and had no time to continue tormenting him, the blue-haired king, who was both angry and regretful, took over the "work" himself. Pressing down on the female cleaner who had been scrubbing him in the Underground Hot River, he asked with confusion in his eyes:
"If you're not her, how...gurgle...do you know that I have...gurgle...what that old man gave me...gurgle?"
"I am Melly! You didn't mistake me for someone else!"
After stuffing the beast's tooth back into his embrace and freeing herself from the social death crisis, the female cleaner shouted gratefully at her brother:
"No time to explain, just stay still! Stay here and soak! Whether we can save Hot River City depends on whether you can buy us some time!"
...
He still couldn't hold on...
Looking at the gleaming white fireball slowly descending on the Sundial Disk, the Bull Director's expression grew weary, and he rubbed his forehead.
The "one-second sun" summoned by the Sundial Disk could be used at night, but its intensity was only half of what it was during the day, and it wasn't as reliable.
Considering that Lyon should have already joined forces with Barto, they might need support from the Sundial Disk. So, along with the Pisces Director, they extended the sunset time in the Northern Kingdom, but Lyon hadn't sent any signals, indicating their efforts were in vain.
"Bull Director."
After a brief rest, the Pisces Director, also looking fatigued, waved her hand and summoned a mirror. She suggested, "Let's check on Lyon's situation first. He should have joined Barto by now. If we wait until they enter the Earth Core Meltway, it will be difficult to keep an eye on them."
"Mhm."
The Bull Director nodded in agreement and placed the mirror on the stand. Then, he waved his hand over the mirror's surface.
A flash of deep blue Aquarius symbol appeared, and the much more advanced Celestial Globe Mirror seamlessly embedded itself into the stand. Across a distance of nearly a hundred thousand kilometers, it locked onto the location of a reserve Aquarius Director.
Sure enough, he had already entered the river.
Seeing the steam-filled image in the mirror, the two directors nodded in satisfaction and relaxed a little.
With Lyon and Barto present, the Northern Kingdom's underground magma tunnel should be secure, and there was no need to worry about the Northern Royal Family... Hmm... What was Lyon doing? As they waved their hands over the mirror's surface again, they saw Lyon pressing down on a man and scrubbing him vigorously in the river. The two directors were momentarily stunned and exchanged puzzled glances.
Was he... already caught the Carnage King Society member and was interrogating him in the river? But hadn't Lyon just arrived in the North not long ago? Why was he taking such swift action this time?
"Don't blame me."
Just as the two directors were perplexed, a voice filled with apology came from the mirror—the voice of the reserve Aquarius Director.
"I know this is hard, but I had no choice. I believe King Harvey, you can understand, right?"
"..."
"..."
King Harvey... Your Majesty?
