Machu looked at Donna with wide eyes.
Donna opened and closed her lips a few times and explained in a low voice: "Senior, I was afraid that I would be squeezed away and couldn't find you, so I had to hold your hand. That... doesn't matter, senior?"
After hearing this, Ma Qiu felt as if his heart had been pinched. He really wanted to hold this cute elementary school girl in his arms and protect her with all his strength.
But he also understood where the red line was, and he kept repeating one sentence in his mind: He is currently performing school tasks, and he must not act according to his temper, but must remain calm and collected.
Calm down!
"Hoo-ho-"
Taking a deep breath, after more than a full second, Ma Chu looked at Donna with a smile and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he pulled Donna and walked towards the interior of the material exchange conference venue. With strong determination, he accompanied Donna to visit dozens of stalls and bought all the necessary daily necessities, which was enough for two large bags.
More than half an hour later.
Ma Qiu and Donna each carried a large bag of things and walked out of the material exchange conference venue. As there were fewer and fewer people around, their hands naturally loosened.
Ma Qiu took a long breath in his heart, feeling that a stone had finally fallen to the ground, but he didn't know why, but he felt a little bit disappointed.
Looking at Donna, Ma Chu said: "Senior sister, I can take you back to school now."
"Yeah, okay." Donna nodded. Her face changed for some reason as she spoke. She seemed to have seen something. She reached out and pointed to the side and asked, "Senior, what is that?"
Ma Qiu looked around suspiciously and saw four strong men in dark gray clothes walking quickly past and heading towards a stall at the outer edge of the venue, vaguely surrounding them. It seemed like there was no good thing at first sight.
This is a fight... or a fight... The thoughts in Ma Qian's mind were spinning, and he wasn't too interested.
Atlanta is a big city, and it is developing so fast. With the influx of a large number of people in a short period of time, it is inevitable that there will be various contradictions. The official's strict and relatively fair laws have played a certain role in easing the situation, but fights still occur from time to time, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them.
However, usually this kind of thing will not develop too big. The flames of the trouble can only burn for a short while before being pinned to death by the Sheriff who rushes over quickly.
In the more than two years he has been staying in Atlanta, Ma Chu has seen similar situations no less than ten times. In the beginning, he would join in the fun, but now he would turn around and leave after just one glance. After all, the ending has never been unexpected, and he has long been tired of seeing it. .
In comparison, this was the first time for Donna to come to Atlanta and the first time she saw this situation. I don't know if I was really innocent, or if I was so innocent that I was a little silly, I wasn't very scared, so I took Ma Qiu's hand and ran over.
When she got close and stopped, Donna opened her eyes wide and asked, "Senior, let's take a look, okay?"
What else could Ma Qiu say to this? He could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, let's see."
At this time, Donna didn't know whether she was excited or nervous, but she held her hand with no intention of letting go. Ma Chu felt the touch on his hand and felt that Donna seemed a little stronger than before. Thinking back to the distance of more than two meters that Donna jumped away at the beginning, I realized with some hindsight that this school girl's physical fitness was quite good.
No wonder I was admitted to the College of Magical Chemistry. I heard that the study and research work in this college is very heavy, and it is difficult to support it due to poor health.
When Ma Chu's thoughts were diverging, another "drama" had officially begun.
I saw four strong men in dark gray clothes, very cooperatively surrounding a stall selling clothes. With a few simple glances and coordinated movements, they quickly chased away all the customers around them, and then all looked at the stall owner.
The stall owner is a thin man with dark brown skin and narrow eyes.
He obviously recognized the man who came to him, and even knew why he came to him, but he was not nervous. He just let out a breath and sighed tiredly: "As for what, I came to Atlanta, Are you still holding on to me? I’m just a little person, I don’t know any big secrets, I haven’t done anything big, and I don’t even dare to take revenge. Is it worth following you all the way from Xiaya to here?”
Um? After hearing what the stall owner said, Ma Qiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. As a temporary assistant in the university, he has quite a lot of experience. Based on the information in the words, he quickly deduced that what happened today seemed to be more complicated than a simple fight.
Someone from Char? So they are natives of the Soma Alliance? So this is a hunt for a fugitive? Or is it, other similar things
Today's matter, I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve, at least it won't end with a little bloodshed, maybe someone will die.
A more bold guess is that among the four men in gray and the five skinny stall owners, there may be wizards, and a battle with extraordinary powers will break out. If that's the case, it's better to stay away.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Chuu figured this out, pulled Donna and prepared to stay away. But unexpectedly, Donna seemed to be mesmerized by the sight and stood there completely motionless. Even after he tried to pull her for a long time, it had no effect.
This strength felt stronger than him... Ma Qiu suddenly felt that he was losing face, but he didn't want to move too much and forcefully pulled Donna away, which might change him from an ordinary onlooker to a being that attracts everyone's attention. I had no choice but to stay where I was with Donna, and I had already made the decision in my heart that "if anything goes wrong, I will drag Donna away even if I am embarrassed."
At this time, one of the four men in gray clothes surrounding the thin stall owner, a bald man, spoke up. He glanced at the stall owner and sneered: "Eric, do you think it will be useful to run to Atlanta? It's still here. The territory of the Alliance is not a place outside the law. You know what you have done. If you cooperate a little and come back with us, maybe there will be a good result."
"A good outcome? You mean, after death, buried together with my wife?" The stall owner said, slightly mocking, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Serena agreed to cooperate with you, But after the people from your 'Judgment Tribunal' left, she was tortured and killed, and she didn't even leave her body behind. I'm afraid I won't be buried with her."
"But you can at least strive for a corpse to be buried." The bald man said grimly, and finally added seriously, "In the form of a whole corpse."
"Thank you, but I want to live a good life in Atlanta."
"Oh, that's a good idea. This is the same as your wife Serena. At first, as someone who had worked for the rebel forces, she thought that after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he could forget about what he had done to her. But it turns out that, Thinking is one thing, but reality is another." The bald man squinted at the stall owner named Eric and said, "I'm warning you for the last time, Eric, come back with us, and you can suffer less. Please do something wrong, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
As he spoke, the bald man clenched his fists in a demonstration.
Eric, the stall owner, raised his eyebrows: "What, are you planning to start right here?"
"is there a problem?"
"Remind you, this is Atlan, not Char."
"Is there any difference?" The bald man raised his lips. "In my opinion, they are all the same. They are all alliance territories and must abide by the alliance's laws. Your arrest order was issued by the 'Arbitration Court', and' The ruling court has His Majesty's will. Therefore, arresting you is His Majesty's order. Who dares to stop it!"
"boom!"
