Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 229: Robbery (2)

Ning Hua looked at the time. It was almost half past seven. It was just a training camp anyway. Without Tis, she could go by herself.

Ning Hua returned to the room, changed into sports equipment, and trotted to the sports field behind the annex building.

As soon as I walked to the edge of the field and hadn't even warmed up yet, Curry came over.

"Ning Hua." Corey called her kindly.

Ever since the last time the two discussed the "art of playing dead", the relationship between Ning Hua and Corey has suddenly become much closer. Corey has since begun to call Ning Hua by her full name, but when facing the commander, Corey still addresses Ning Hua with a suffix, calling her "Miss Ning Hua".

"Corey, you're here at the right time. Please help me time it. I'm going to run another ten kilometers." Ning Hua said to Corey with a smile.

Corey nodded, "No problem, I can run with you."

"Oh? Really? I was afraid I'd get lonely while running so I put on headphones to listen to some music. It would be even better if you were with me."

Corey smiled and said, "I really admire you. You run ten kilometers in the morning, plus strength training, combat training, and two or three sword fights. And you can still run in the evening. You are really amazing. You are much more diligent than when I first started practicing martial arts."

"Maybe it's because of the growth hormone I took. I'm gaining strength so fast and my appetite is much bigger, too." Ning Hua said as he stood on one leg and pulled the instep of his foot with his hand to do warm-up exercises.

Thinking of Ning Hua's appetite, Kou Li was silent for a long time before he figured out how to respond.

"Haha, eating more is a good thing. Maybe you'll be taller by the time Your Highness comes back."

"Yeah! I just want to be taller, like Des. She is 1.76 meters tall. If she puts on a pair of high heels, she will be almost as tall as you. I think her height is good and very imposing."

Corey smiled again: "Your height is pretty good. By the way, Ning Hua, I found the mercenary for you."

"Really? How is it? Are the flowers still there?" Ning Hua stopped warming up and asked nervously.

Corey shook his head regretfully. "He has already sold it, but he revealed the identity of the buyer, a businessman in the Leeds galaxy. What do you want to do? Buy it back at a high price or snatch it back?"

If Kori was Hu Li, then saying "snatch it back" would sound relatively normal, at least it wouldn't seem weird. However, Kori is a colonel of the Imperial Guards. Is it really appropriate for him to say so openly that he wants to snatch it back?

"Uh, can we rob it?" Ning Hua looked at Kou Li hesitantly.

Corey shrugged. "Of course. I sent someone to inquire about it. It is said that they are going to use it for some important medical research. So, I think the possibility of buying it back is not very high. Even if I can buy it, I will definitely have to pay a high price. It's too much of a loss..."

When Kori said "It's such a loss", he sighed and shook his head, as if he was sad that the money had already been spent. He paused and continued, "It's not appropriate to requisition it. It will inevitably give people the impression that the Imperial Guards are bullying others. Let's just rob them..."

Kou Li's logic was too strong, Ning Hua simply couldn't help but accept it, so she nodded happily: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

As if he had expected Ning Hua to agree to his proposal, Kou Li nodded slightly with a natural expression: "Then I will personally take people there tonight, do you want to come with us?"

Ning Hua opened his mouth in shock: "Can I go...rob together?"
