Lola didn't get a response from Caesar, who seemed as unyielding as a piece of wood.Her fingers gently moved away from the table, and after three seconds, she heard Caesar's emotionless voice: "Releasing the criminals is absolutely impossible. Don't be greedy."Lola glanced at the Minister of Propaganda next to her, getting his answer from his eyes.Lola proposed new terms: "We demand the rest of the rights. The guards in the isolation zone must be withdrawn. We don't want our people to be treated as prisoners."Caesar remained unmoved: "To prevent terror attacks, we must take strict control measures. Facts have proven that since the establishment of the isolation zone, violent bloody conflicts have decreased by forty-seven and a half percent.""Let me remind you, sir, this has been your excuse since the construction of the isolation zone, and it's been decades."Caesar: "As you can see, we are gradually loosening the control over the Asti people."Lola asked: "Don't you think it's u
Lola had already pulled out her gun, she smiled and said, "Sir, please don't move, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally pull the trigger."Caesar didn't move, he was like a cold, hard statue, with only the wind fluttering his coat.Lola's vision had fully adjusted to the light, and the headlights behind her suddenly flared up.Realizing something was wrong, Angus and several other members got off the car, the sound of loading bullets was especially clear in the night.The police and bodyguards had also come down, silently forming a protective circle, closely protecting Caesar. They pointed their guns at Lola, and Lola's gun was aimed at Caesar, slightly turning her face.Caesar had nothing in his hands, he had a sidearm, but he didn't draw it.Lola's black muzzle was aimed straight at Caesar's right arm, she could clearly see Caesar's purple, beautiful, gem-like eyes.He judged everything from the cool night breeze.The Alpha had lost his first Omega who had a permane
Negotiations with the police station had collapsed again, as expected.Clearly, Caesar's previous "private visit" had terrified the police of this border city. Even though everyone understood some covert trade, after Caesar's visit, the local police started to strictly control the smugglers.However, there was a difference between now and before, initially, they were only captured without prevention, as soon as they discovered smugglers, they would immediately arrest them and put them in prison.Now, they began to strictly prevent smuggling. If they discovered anyone with smuggling tendencies, they would immediately discourage them; they strictly controlled all common smuggling outlets, controlling the entry and exit of ships, cutting off smuggling at the root.After a week of martial law, Lola hadn't gone on any missions at night. Those ships involved in smuggling didn't dare to continue, they had canceled several orders. The Asti people who were unable to leave this country could no
Lola's shoulder was still a bit uncomfortable. She didn't drive, continued to eat dried meat in the car, and the raindrops pattered on the car windows. It was early morning, foggy and white all around.Lola turned on the car stereo, which was broadcasting the news."At the XXth International Economic Conference held yesterday, CEO Caesar expressed his views on future international cooperation..."The driver grumbled "executioner" and reached out to change the radio station, but was stopped by Lola: "Wait."Lola threw another piece of dried meat into her mouth and swallowed it, "I think this guy is interesting to listen to."The driver didn't find anything interesting. Wasn't the one speaking the newly appointed Caesar? Most of the hardcore members of the radical faction in the Asti tribe's re
Lola's tinnitus hadn't improved, it was incessant, like the unyielding hum of a blower. It was akin to the clean sheets billowing in the wind, rustling incessantly, or a cherry tree buffeted by the brisk winds of spring.Her lips ached, making breathing difficult, let alone swallowing.The first time she was caught stealing, Eugenie applied ointment to Lola's wounds late into the night. That was the beginning of their friendship. Eugenie was slightly taller than Lola. On cold nights, they'd fold their blankets together, snuggling beneath the shared warmth.During an incident at the restaurant, Lola had bitten her lip in a scuffle, and the mere touch was painful, exactly like now.Caesar was silent. The barrel of the gun he held against Lola's temple was chilling and unyielding.Caesar had seldom kissed Lola before, perhaps due to their status difference, or maybe because he didn't know how. Even their first kiss was initiated by Lola in a mix of playful whining and stubborn insistence
Lola was hunched in her chair, her attention had been drawn to a mosquito while eating dinner, she had turned her head too fast, straining her neck, causing it to ache.After Caesar asked this question that had nothing to do with the interrogation, Lola felt the pain in her neck intensifies.She said, "It was really painful, so painful I felt like I was dying."In fact, Lola had chosen general anesthesia, and when she woke up, she was fine. Even when the anesthesia wore off, it wasn't too painful, if the doctor hadn't stopped her, Lola even thought about discharging herself on the spot.As expected, Caesar fell silent again, he opened his pen.Francis next to him asked, "Does this question have anything to do with the prison break?"He didn't understand. As a Beta, he was insensitive to pheromones, and things like permanent marks were also foreign to him, he didn't understand what the experience of removing a mark was like.Betas couldn't be permanently marked, nor could they mark ot
Lola did hide food once, but not for herself, but for Oli after she got sick.Children in the mansion could only eat in the dining room, they were not allowed to take food to other places. If they were sick or uncomfortable or didn't want to go to the dining room, they would not receive any extra care.No one would bring them food, this was a form of punishment.Lola was in good health, always healthy, with no serious illnesses, she was always the most enthusiastic at mealtime, always first. But Oli couldn't do it, she was a little fool, still playing in the snow in her pajamas in winter, getting cold at night, sneezing, having a high fever, unable to get out of bed, and being unable to go to the dining room for food.Lola found a way, secretly tearing off draft paper, wrapping it around the hot chicken and rice balls, simply pinching it up, and bringing it back to Oli to eat.However, the method of hiding rice balls at that time was simpler, just hide them in the pocket of your cloth
Lola didn't care how Caesar arranged her itinerary.Her cellmates began to be released one after another, especially the ones who refused to write passionate scenes. Before her release, she tearfully read out her promise, otherwise, she would face a hefty fine.Lola had been staying in the city jail for two nights. Only the old man next door, who had illegally adopted three Asti orphans, would chat with Lola. Probably because of his age, he was a little hard of hearing, so, to many of Lola's questions, he just loudly answer, "Yes, yes".After several rounds of dialogues like "How old are you, sir?" "Ah, I don't eat duck", Lola didn't give up on communicating with him and still excitedly leaned against the iron gate, continuing their nonsensical chat.She couldn't be idle; Lola couldn't stand boredom.But at night, that old man was also bailed out.It wasn't Lola's first time in jail, and she slept quietly at night, wrapped in her blanket on her bed. Without internet access, she couldn
