Ringo was busy training on his trip when he received an unexpected call. It was Ames.
He was confused, but still accepted the call, wondering why Ames had called him.
When he answered, the first thing he saw was Ames' indifferent face. The pair looked at each other for a moment, and Ringo sensed that something was wrong with her gaze. It wasn't irritation, but it lacked that playful feeling that the woman usually had in her eyes.
Instead, it almost seemed as if she was judging him with her eyes, he didn't understand why, but just as he was about to ask, Ames spoke first.
-Ringo, a friend of yours arrived at the Floating Dragon and made a big mess.- Her smile returned, but it was clearly like a cat that had caught a mouse, there was still something in her gaze that he couldn't decipher, but for now he ignored it as the projection changed angles.
Above Ringo's eyes, a group appeared, among them were several unknown characters, but there was one he knew well.
Ringo was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to think of something, his lips trembled as he tried to stifle a laugh. He had understood what was happening.
Even more so when he saw Han Xiao's awkward smile.
Wasn't that the scene from the Silvers' mission? Han Xiao had actually agreed to this and ended up being caught by Ames?
Han also saw Ringo's face as he tried to stifle a laugh and almost cursed.
Damn, the reason they were in such a difficult situation wasn't Ringo's fault, but while he was thinking about how to save his own skin, he almost volunteered to look for Aesop, but when Aesop appeared right next to Ames, Han Xiao was completely stunned.
He wasn't stupid, it didn't take him long to understand the reason for the change. Ringo was clearly the biggest factor in the change. Knowing that Ringo had joined the Floating Dragon, it became evident that the reason Aesop was there was precisely that wretch.
Unable to use Aesop as a way to get away with it, Han Xiao had no choice but to bring up his relationship with Ringo.
However, Ringo's face, clearly holding back laughter, was the reason Han Xiao didn't want to use that relationship.
In the end, he can only swallow his own pride.
Ames also became curious when Han Xiao mentioned Ringo's name, she was ready to crush them into meat paste when Han Xiao said he was Ringo's friend, so she called him with good reason.
Ames was already missing Ringo, but she wouldn't call him randomly, she didn't have a valid reason before. So now that Han Xiao had given her a reason, she was already satisfied with the situation. If Han Xiao wasn't lying, she wouldn't mind letting him go.
Ames turned the communicator back to her and spoke. -This guy says he's your friend, is that true?
Ringo made a completely serious expression as he said. -I've never seen this guy in my life.
Players: !!!
Herlous: !!!
Han Xiao: ... Bastard!!!
Ames: ...
Ames could clearly see Ringo's playful eyes, she rolled her eyes, sensing that this fellow was provoking Han Xiao on purpose. However, she not only didn't get angry, but also joined in the joke.
-Seriously? So he lied to me, I'm going to turn his group into meat paste.- Ames pointed, she actually made her force field slowly contract around them, the threat evident.
Han Xiao finally couldn't take it anymore and immediately yelled. -Hey, Ringo, you bastard! This isn't funny!
Ringo finally couldn't take it anymore and burst into laughter, his loud laughter coming through the communicator, leaving the viewers speechless, even more so when they saw Han Xiao's face turn red with anger.
The others had already realized that this guy Ringo was clearly provoking Han Xiao, the fearless players were also holding back laughter. Black Phantom looked so funny now.
Herlous: Please, don't joke about this! My little life is at stake!
Herlous was almost trembling with fear, he had understood it was just a joke, but without hearing that they were free, he felt he could die at any moment. He couldn't laugh like the players.
-Well, I think I vaguely remember that man.- Ringo continued the joke, scratching his chin thoughtfully.
-Oh?- Ames was also amused, although she managed to keep a straight face, so she wasn't in a hurry to remove her force field, still using it to scare these guys. -Is he your friend?
-Well, I remember him throwing beer at my dog...- Ringo said, still lost in thought.
Han Xiao had a thousand curse words running through his mind now. He knew Ringo was clearly toying with him, but Ames' force field was still holding them back. Okay? Can you please take my life seriously?
As for throwing beer on your dog, damn it! Are you really that petty?! That damn dog clearly peed on him!
Ames almost laughed at Han Xiao's constipated look, she shook her head. Although it was funny, she didn't want to waste any more time on it. -Anyway, enough joking around. Those guys caused havoc on the Floating Dragon, they still need to pay a price.
Ringo looked at Ames' face, she clearly wanted him to beg her, her gaze practically said so.
Ringo rolled his eyes and said. -Let me talk to him.
Ames shrugged and turned the communicator back towards Han Xiao.
Seeing the man's irritated face, Ringo controlled himself to avoid bursting into laughter again and said. -Han, you really do have a day like this...
Han Xiao: ... Could you please stop making fun of my misfortune?
Ringo: Uh... No.
