After Shijana and Acerola left, Mai got up and gave Luther a painkiller.
Luther used his eyes to hint at the fruit basket next to him several times. Mai pretended not to see it at first, but Luther coughed and put his hand on her shoulder...
"Just like a child, when you are sick, you should take medicine and then sleep. Eating so many fruits with high sugar content is not good for your health."
"Just one bite..." Luther begged.
He knew that Mai would definitely take the fruit basket with her when she left the room, so he simply confessed.
I wanted to take a bite of sweets before, so I asked Darkrai to hide from Mai and sneak back a fruit candy. However, Darkrai was unwilling to go the second time.
After careful questioning, I found out that all the elves were instructed by Mai not to let Luther eat randomly when he was sick.
Tiburim came over with a jar of pitch-black juice, but no matter how she requested, Mai's elf didn't let it go.
I don’t know what Tibulim was thinking, dyeing the honey water black with food coloring and treating it as a dark dish, just to get away with it?
The hunting swallowtail butterfly looked at his mouthparts and felt that he had been underestimated by Tiburim.
Not being able to control his mouth may be a problem that Luther will never get rid of.
Unable to resist, Mai peeled another pear for Luther, fed him one bite after another, and then asked about Shijana and Acerola.
"You said before that the trip to Galar may be dangerous."
Luther knew what Mai wanted to say, and explained: "According to my arrangement, they will not be in danger, the danger will only be with me."
"They both go to the gym, what's the difference?"
Luther watched as the pear flesh in Mai's bowl became less and less, and smiled slyly: "Two pears, I'll just say."
When Mai heard this, she also laughed. She picked up the last piece of pulp with a toothpick and waved it in front of Luther, but instead of feeding it to him, she bit it gently with her teeth.
Mai didn't eat either, just letting Luther watch.
"Bullying patients!" Luther felt aggrieved, "I tortured myself to the point of getting sick just to live on the island..."
Mai's smiling face suddenly lowered her head and got closer to Luther.
A pleasant aroma hit his face. Looking at the flesh of the pear, Luther subconsciously opened his mouth slightly.
The hair was so soft that it fell on Luther's face, and the delicious shampoo fragrance became stronger and stronger.
"You should buy more of this shampoo recommended by Junna..." Luther thought to himself.
The pulp unknowingly fell into Luther's mouth, but Luther had no time to chew it.
Mai's lips were very soft, and this unexpected but heart-racing moment always made Luther's heart beat wildly.
Darkrai huddled in the shadows, and he decided that the next time the two of them were alone, he would immediately run to the outside door and stand guard, refusing to stay in the room for life or death.
I don't know why, but at this time, he recalled that damn fat blue man in his mind.
He vaguely remembered that when Luther and Mai were alone in the past, the fat blue man liked to stand in the room and act as an eyesore.
I didn’t expect that it would be my turn today!
Mai stood up as if nothing had happened and smoothed her somewhat messy hair.
"Why don't you tie them up? It would be troublesome to leave them scattered like this, right?"
Mai said angrily: "It's not that you said you like this, I won't be like this either."
While chewing the pulp, Luther raised his hands to express that he had said something wrong.
"Please notify Ron for me. Come to the room tonight when no one is around. I can talk to him."
Mai nodded and closed the door, leaving Luther there to savor the delicious pear meat.
"This pear is so sweet."
Time passed very quickly for a person who was lying in bed and sleeping soundly. When Luther was woken up by Darkrai again, Ron was already sitting in front of Luther's bed.
Mai asked Ron what he wanted to drink, but Ron waved him down.
Ron has always done things like this. When it comes to formal work, he will try not to accept the services provided by the other party.
"If you torment yourself like this, you will break your body sooner or later." Ron couldn't help but sigh.
Luther had a grimace on his face and said helplessly: "If I don't do this, can I still be sandwiched between the Sinnoh Alliance and the Galar Alliance, preventing you two alliances from moving forward?"
"As far as the alliance is concerned, I am just a small player. If I want to shake up an alliance, I simply overestimate my capabilities. Since I know that I do not overestimate my capabilities, I can only tactfully hide aside and take refuge."
Ron did not answer Luther's words. He asked: "Do you need me to repeat what I said in the morning?"
"No need. You said it's not moral kidnapping. Actually, after thinking about it...it still smells like that."
"Indeed, but my position requires me to say this. If you were in my position, what would you do?"
Luther remained silent, knowing that this matter could not be judged as right or wrong.
Even Shijana and Acerola knew that this matter could be summed up as a face issue.
Ordinary people lose face when they lose face. For a behemoth like the Alliance, face is credibility and a reflection of the right to speak.
If you lost it yourself, just find a way to clean it up, that's all.
But this time, it was taken off by someone else.
The Sinnoh Alliance doesn't care who Galar uses to stab itself, Sirona's apprentice, Kikuno's apprentice?
None of this matters.
What's important is the face issue that ordinary people can laugh off easily.
Galar stepped on me today, and he didn't pay the price. Next time there is violent turmoil, won't everyone think of the Sinnoh Alliance?
"Are there any conditions for me to tell the Sinnoh Alliance?"
Luther sneered and said, "I didn't plan to go to Galar. I asked you to come today because I didn't want to hide it from you."
Ron shook his head: "You sent the Sinnoh Alliance a promise. That was the condition you attached when you bought the island."
"You were talking about a mission overseas, and the target was only the most vicious criminal gangsters!" Luther said while coughing, "But this time it's an alliance, and if I hit it all by myself, I'm afraid I'll be shattered to pieces."
Ron signaled Luther not to be so excited for the time being. He waited until Luther had taken a breath before he spoke with confidence.
"You have to know that the sale of Qidao is controversial within the alliance. There are many people who support you, so they have no momentum. But once they make a fuss about this promise, they will take advantage of Qidao."
Ron was also very helpless about this. After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, he noticed that Luther and Mai had something wrong in their eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Mai looked at Luther and said lightly: "I'm afraid there is no need to make a fuss about this promise. They are already working on the idea of Qidao."
"Shortly after arriving on the island today, Luther's disciple Shijana heard that someone from the top management was planning to allocate land on the island."
Luther continued: "Look, whether I agree or not, they are all planning to live on the island. What's the difference?"
