"Hey, Elias." In the living room, legs crossed and a bored look on her face, Catharina glared at him.
"Yea?" For some reason, Elias' voice sounded stiff, these days Catharina seemed to be more moody than usual.
"Do something." Catharina said: "Tell a joke, or do a dance, whatever. This city is boring, there's no internet, no television, people are depressed, tsk, tsk, I can only think about bad things in this city, I swear to god that once I can leave, I'll never come back to this city!"
"Well, I'm going to tell a joke, shall I?" Elias scratched his head with a slightly awkward look.
"Yes Yes." Catharina gave him a thumbs-up. She talked and didn't expect him to do it anyway.
"Okay, let me get started." He said, then changed the pitch of his voice: "Boss, I want a raise. Please know that I have three companies behind me."
Elias changed his voice to an older voice: "Which ones?"
He went back to imitating the first voice: "The water, the light, and the telephone!"
"Hahahaha!" Even though it wasn't so funny, maybe because she was so bored, Catharina laughed a lot.
Standing up, she went to Elias, and with her gentle hands, she patted his shoulder a few times and said, "I like it, you have my approval."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Thanks?" Elias said with a goofy smile. 'She is so beautiful when she laughs.' Those thoughts were buried deep in his heart. She was his best friend's sister, he doesn't think it's right to have such thoughts about her.
"I know a good joke!" Maiara raised her hand.
"Oh, tell us." Everyone's interest increased.
After all, it wasn't just Catharina who was bored.
"Cough!" She cleared her throat and began to count, "I got confused after English class. If 'car' means 'carro' and 'men' means 'homem', then is my aunt Carmen a transform?"
(NT: carro and homem is in Portuguese)
"Hahahahaha, this joke is really good, hahaha!" She was the one who laughed, she lay down on the floor laughing so hard at her own joke.
Don't take her hand, it wasn't bad, but why was she exaggerating so much?
In a shed in Brazil, in the state of Ceará, the shed was surrounded by armed forces. The person in charge was Elias' father, Rogério Levy Cardoso.
"Everyone on the ground, if you make any sudden movement, we'll shoot!" Heavily armed soldiers with bows were on all sides.
One of them, who tried to run away, took an arrow right in the spine and fell over a table with a lot of blood flowing. The one who tried to flee had the strength of the Second Order, even so, the arrow managed to pierce his body.
Rogério was indifferent to what happened. His expression remained neutral as he commanded.
Currently, he had the aura of a general who had been through thousands of battles. As his strength grew, with the help mainly of Elias, he grew and became stronger, having the strength close to the fourth order. And the people in the armed forces were all elite who were at least in the Second Order.
Because of that, the pressure they were putting on the Chinese inside the warehouse was that they were creating bombs. Some even felt like peeing in their pants, there were also ordinary people who only knew about it, and because of the pressure, they ended up passing out, foaming at the mouth.
After taking a good look at the warehouse, Rogério Levy Cardoso murmured: "These things are enough to wreak havoc in the country. These Chinese must be crazy!" He was annoyed.
Inside the shed were tons of TNT and uranium.
'Creating such a thing in our country was outrageous!'
Obviously, they intended to blow this up in Brazil, the target was possibly the island of Luan, even if that is so, Luan was the symbol that represents Brazil, going against it is no different from declaring war against Brazil.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot." They said in Chinese.
Even without a translator, it was easy to know what he meant, and not even they dared use firearms to shoot. He came prepared, instead of a firearm, they were using archery.
As old-fashioned as it may seem, at the time it was the best weapon. And like trained soldiers, they've also been trained to use archery should a similar situation as this happen.
This idea came from Luan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'And to think that we would even use archery.' Rogério laughed a little when he thought about it.
"Take them all in custody, don't forget the sedative and the anti-curse seal, seal their strength, antidote to poison, etc. They have to be captured alive." General Rogerio ordered.
"Yes!"
Perhaps not even the Chinese who were behind this attack knew that in the hands of the Brazilians they had so many ways to avoid that if they were captured, they would not be able to kill themselves.
The information that Luan had was much more advanced than that of present times, he predicted each step and prevented that even if someone in modern times wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't be able to.
Of course, for someone like Rogério who doesn't know that Luan had memories of almost a thousand years from the future, he was 'just' a genius without a presidency.
'We still need to know if this is their only base.' Although these things are hard to find, it's very unlikely that there's another base creating a bomb. Better safe than sorry.
"I see, this is good. Thank you for letting me know." Maira hung up.
"Was it Uncle Rogério?" Beside her, wearing a beautiful pink and white floral dress, Cristina asked in a sweet voice.
Maisa smiled at her and said, "Yes, he brought good news."
"Is this the case with the Chinese?" Cristina guessed.
"Yes, that's right." Maira rubbed her head, and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to bake some cookies for us to eat. Let Monica and Rikka know and the rest for me."
"Yes, mom," Cristina said with a bright smile before leaving.
'Mom…' Maira came out humming. In the beginning, Cristina still had some reservations when she called her mother, but nowadays, it was very similar to the way Luan and Catharina addressed her, and that made her very happy.
