When he was told this, Palamedes was shocked at first, and then angry.
He tried hard to restrain his anger, but the anger could not be suppressed from seeping out of his words: "Don't be ridiculous, Ms. Rosetta! I should have told you: I have a wife, and I
Love my wife very much!"
"I know." The Gem Queen continued to smile indifferently, as if she was enjoying teasing the big cat: "But your personality is so much like Thain, I miss you so much. You are upright, gentle, and shy easily, and the world
There are not many good men like this anymore.
One day. It’s just one day. I hope you pretend to be my lover and go on a date with me. I won’t ask you to do anything deviant. We just go shopping, watch movies, eat, and do what a young lover would do. It’s ordinary.
It's a romantic thing. After this day, we will treat each other as friends and will never have any inappropriate thoughts. It's just such a simple request, can't you be accommodating?"
Paramedes hesitated, his eyes wandered away, avoiding Rosetta's scrutiny: "Vivian will not be happy to hear this..."
"She will never know. And you are just an actor. If you play your role well and let me have another sweet dream, you will get paid. This should be an easy and beautiful job."
This is indeed a good job. A sweet date with a beautiful woman for a day, and you can also get a legendary precious gem. It is simply a combination of wealth and wealth. Such a good condition would not be exchanged for anyone
No man with normal physiological functions would miss it.
But the big cat always felt that there was something wrong. Even if he was just acting with the other party, the leopard warrior always felt that he was unfaithful to his wife.
Palamedes glanced at Rosetta secretly again: "Even so, I still ------"
Rosetta smiled slyly and said: "You don't have to agree to me right away, I will give you time to think about it carefully. But you'd better hurry up, unless you want to see my date changed to a Sphinx."
"You just said that Father Sphinx is not a good person..." Palamedes complained in confusion.
"I know. But this is also one of the ways to solve problems peacefully." The Queen of Jewels showed a sly look: "Mr. Palamedes, don't look at me like this, I am still a little woman after all. I only know how to pursue myself."
To live a peaceful and peaceful life, in order to achieve this goal, sometimes even compromise with dangerous elements. And, God knows how things will develop? Maybe the Sphinx is a good person?"
This woman is also an old fox, not much better than a sphinx. She will do whatever it takes to protect herself. Businessmen like them probably don't distinguish between good and evil, and they only focus on how to get greater benefits.
That is understandable. What's more, they have no concrete evidence to prove that Father Sphinx has evil intentions.
"Okay, I've said what needs to be said. It's time for me to get rid of this [shady world]." Ms. Rosetta smiled calmly and said: "What to do, please think carefully about it. ------
Oh, and one more thing: this magic may have some minor side effects."
"Side effects? Will it damage my brain?"
"No, it won't." The Queen of Gemstones shook her head: "But this magic will stimulate people's deep memories and let you see... hallucinations? After it is lifted, you may still briefly see some things that happened a long time ago.
Things that have happened in the past, those ancient memory fragments that even you don’t remember. If you see it, please don’t be afraid. When everything returns to its original state, when you find yourself sitting at the table in that crystal box again, please keep quiet.
, do not make any unusual moves. Please treat everything I just said to you as if it has never happened before."
"This time...is it my turn to act in front of Father Sphinx?" Palamedes smiled bitterly.
"There are some things that it is best never to let him know." The Queen of Jewels waved her hand and unlocked her magic.
The shady world was torn apart from the big cat's eyes, and the flow of time was about to return to normal. At the same time, some kind of wonderful memory also flowed into Palamedes' mind--or in other words,
Emerging from the depths of his mind!
Darkness. Silence. The pungent smell of disinfectant.
He found himself in a room with full-body medical equipment. The layout was like some kind of research facility, or...a delivery room.
Beside him lay many swaddled babies, and he was one of them. The strange thing was that these babies never cried and were all sleeping quietly.
Someone walked over. The footsteps and words were distorted and blurred, and it was impossible to tell who it was, or even whether it was a man or a woman.
"The success rate is only one percent. Even so, can the first phase of the Pandora Project be considered a success?"
Pandora Project? I seem to have heard of it somewhere.
Another person looked at the babies: "What should we do with these failures?"
"Of course...[deal with] it," the other person replied ruthlessly.
"What a waste. So many resources have been invested in the Pandora Project. Even if it is a failure, it should not be abandoned casually."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Abandon them in the wilderness and let them fend for themselves. In this way, it will not put any burden on the organization and the country, and we can continue to observe the development of these failures. Maybe some of them will also
How can they be used by us to grow into talents who are useful to the army?"
"This is a waste of time." Another researcher was not interested in his colleague's proposal: "Besides, alienated genes are like infectious diseases and must be strictly controlled. If they grow up and marry normal orcs and have children,
If this [infectious disease] is carried to the next generation, the problem will become serious."
"They won't. I will implant chips in the bodies of these failures and continue to track them. When they plan to have offspring and inherit [Pandora's legacy], we will take action to take away their children.
.They will be monitored throughout their lives and unable to fly. In this way, the security protocol of the Pandora Project is complete."
"Hmph..." The researcher with a vicious attitude thought for a while, and his mind changed: "Okay. The more research materials, the better. Even if it is a failure, it may be able to show its value.
.Although I doubt how long these scraps abandoned in the wilderness can survive."
He will survive.
I don’t know how long it took, but the world turned from dim to dark. In the midst of the collapse, the baby was thrown to the ground, and beside him was a desolate wilderness.
"Are you afraid?" The man whose face could not be seen clearly walked up to the baby and patted his head: "Just wait and be patient a little longer. I know you will survive." Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps
, that person left.
"Uh!" Palamedes came back to his senses and found that the shady world had been lifted. He returned to his original place - the crystal box of the Heavenly Restaurant on the top floor of the Cairo Hotel.
Bang, bang, blah, blah! The fireworks show is coming to an end, and with the aftermath of an explosion, brilliant fireworks are scattered across the sky crazily, illuminating the night like day.
"Huh." Ms. Rosetta was still watching the fireworks show attentively. After all the sparks fell into the sea and were completely extinguished, she sneered calmly: "Today's fireworks show was very exciting. I am very satisfied."
"As long as you are satisfied, my dear lady." Father Sphinx bowed and humbly agreed.
"Well," seeing that the dinner was almost over, Queen Rosetta winked at her bodyguards: "I have other matters to deal with, so it's time to go back. Good night, everyone."
"I wish you a good evening, my dear lady." Father Sphinx had no intention of retaining Rosetta. He probably thought that his goal had been achieved and there was no need to continue to pester the Queen of Jewels.
Ms. Rosetta bowed and left with her men.
The two big men got what they wanted and felt at ease, leaving only Palamedes who was uneasy. The big cat tried his best to keep this uneasiness in his heart and not let the lion man notice it at all.
"Well done everyone." Father Sphinx smiled at the Leopard Warrior and others: "You are also tired, go back and have a rest. I will send you the thank you gifts tomorrow."
"No need, we have already received a lot of your gifts." Palamedes thought of the more than one million Egyptian coins that his father gave them in a roundabout way, and also this expensive dinner.
"Well, I won't waste your time anymore." Father Sphinx didn't hesitate to talk to Palamedes, "Philaos, send them back to the hotel."
"As you command, Father Sphinx." Leopard Man Phileos promised fearfully, as if he was accepting the will of a monarch.
Palamedes said nothing, and led his son Seifer and the tiger-man Albert, accompanied by Phileos, to leave the Heavenly Restaurant and take the elevator back to the room.
As soon as he entered the elevator, he asked his adopted brother in a low voice: "Philaos, you haven't eaten anything all night, aren't you hungry?"
"No problem." Phileos replied calmly, "Remember? We are orcs. We will not starve to death if we don't eat one meal for a month."
"That's not the point." Palamedes frowned, "You stand there watching us eat, but you have an empty stomach, which makes me feel embarrassed to eat. I know this is Daddy Sphinx.
I also know that your position is not suitable for dining with us at the same table, but you still need to eat something, otherwise it will have adverse effects on your body."
Phileos was stunned for a while before replying: "Okay. After I send you back to your room safely, I will go to eat immediately. Is that okay?"
Palamedes stubbornly shook his head: "No. Just let the little devils go back by themselves. Let's go out for a supper. I'll treat you."
