Cataclysm King

Catalina took Ji Xun's arm and walked out of the banquet hall under everyone's attention.

The two took the elevator and planned to go back to the suite on the top floor.

The elevator car was made of transparent tempered glass. As the height rose, the entire mechanical city was gradually in sight.

Now there were no outsiders, and Catalina's face restrained the friendly smile of a superior who saw everyone.

A trace of thought appeared between her eyebrows, and she said after thinking: "Ji Xun, you should have a good rest in the base these days. As for other things, I will take care of it."

When Ji Xun heard this, of course he knew what she was talking about. He smiled indifferently and asked back: "Aren't you afraid that I have misperceived it?"

He did not doubt Catalina's skills.

Just like when she, a noble lady, first arrived in Innocence City, she dared to go to Honglou's casino alone to negotiate. Although she was defeated by Qin Rushi, her demeanor and heroic spirit that was not inferior to any man really impressed Ji Xun.

Now that Katarina is the commander-in-chief of the alliance army, her mind and methods are completely different from before.

It's just a General Lagon who has just entered the seventh level. It doesn't mean that he can't be dealt with.

Hearing Ji Xun's words, Katarina glanced at him, a cunning flashed in her eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "After all, I brought you there. Since General Lagon has murderous intentions towards you, it means that he doesn't take me, the commander-in-chief, seriously."

This is also reasonable.

If a branch general dares to kill the commander-in-chief's close friend, it means that the other party does not think that his status is lower than that of the commander-in-chief from the bottom of his heart.

However, Ji Xun knew that she would not be so emotional, and smiled: "That's it?"

Katrina looked at the teasing eyes and knew that she couldn't hide it.

She didn't intend to hide it.

She said it directly: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I also got some information before. Not long ago, General Ragon has been restless since he was promoted. He not only frequently moved around the major bases of the Alliance Army, but also contacted several close families such as the Rosen family, the Bebo family, and the Morton family to discuss some things."

This is top-secret information that no one knows except her, the commander-in-chief.

It is impossible to tell others, but she has no reservations about Ji Xun.

When Ji Xun heard this, he guessed that Catalina might have a source of information among the senior executives of those families.

The means behind the superiors are never as glamorous as they seem.

Catalina has always been a qualified leader.

She has a side as beautiful and gentle as a rose, and a side that will never be soft-hearted when it comes to action.

Ji Xun has seen it all, so there is no surprise.

Catalina has never concealed it in front of him.

After a pause, she continued, "These guys are really the 'old tradition' of being warlords in the Federation. They want to gain more power as soon as they have some strength. Haha. They really think they are still in the East Wilderness. Of course, there are also some hidden dangers in my Lionheart family that have not been dealt with. When my grandfather asked me to take charge of the Lionheart family, some people in the family were still dissatisfied. Like the marriage families behind my brothers in the family."

Katrina became the head of the Lionheart family not only by talent.

But she walked step by step with bloody footprints.

Ji Xun certainly knew.

When Catalina said this, she suddenly felt lonely.

Only when you sit in this position can you know that there are no friends in this position.

With all the distracting thoughts in her mind, she looked at Ji Xun, and only this friend who had no interest in power could say it.

Catalina held Ji Xun's hand tighter, and suddenly wanted to say something insignificant, so she said it out loud: "I am not greedy for this little power. In fact, if those people can lead the Alliance Army to a better path and bring a promising future to the Kashi civilization. Even if they want the position of commander-in-chief, I will not hesitate, and even assist them wholeheartedly. But they can't. Their pattern is still stuck in the idea of ​​old-school nobles fighting for power and profit. Even if they succeed, it will only be a replica of the corrupt old federal government. This is completely different from the 'new federation' we wanted in the first place."

Her tone was calm and firm, and she added: "Moreover, the current Alliance Army looks good, but in fact, every step is on thin ice. Any wrong decision will bring everyone with hope into the endless abyss."

Her voice became lighter and lighter at the end, "In fact, every step I took was very difficult"

But Ji Xun heard it clearly.

After she finished speaking, she responded with a sentence: "Yeah."

Katrina snorted in self-mockery, and then the melancholy on her face disappeared: "I knew you could understand. That's why I told you."

Ji Xun smiled faintly.

He really had no interest in those powers, so he just listened.

However, he turned around and talked about business: "Well, I can handle the matter of Lagong myself."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Katarina also showed a look of surprise.

You know, that is a genuine seventh-level!

Ji Xun's tone was very firm, and he simply responded with one word: "Yeah."

This made Catalina's eyes freeze for a moment when she looked at him.

But then, she thought of the previous chat, when Ji Xun did not elaborate on his experience in Extreme Thieves City.

She thought Ji Xun really relied on some special relic to survive.

Now it seems that it may not be a trick.

Catalina suddenly felt a familiar feeling. Isn't this the guy she knows who likes to dance on the edge of a knife?

Thinking about the previous experience, she was not surprised that Ji Xun had this idea.

Catalina restrained her surprise for a moment and asked: "Are you sure?"

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head: "How can I be sure, just try it."

"Hehe."

Catalina smiled when she heard it, it was indeed a familiar feeling.

But she didn't say much.

She thought to herself that if Ji Xun couldn't handle it, she would handle it well.

No one would have thought that a major event that would affect the pattern of the Alliance Army would be finalized in a few words during a casual chat.

At this point, the two did not continue to talk about business.

The elevator door opened, and Catalina had already changed into a bright smile of life style, and greeted: "Let's go, let's drink!"

Just when Ji Xun and Catalina took the elevator back to the suite, in front of the one-way window of a room downstairs, an old man and a young man stopped and looked at the two people chatting and laughing in the elevator from a distance.

It was none other than General Lagong and the angry Mick.

"You mean, that kid didn't agree to compete with you?"

Lagong also wanted to test whether Ji Xun's strength was bluffing, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't agree.

If it were someone in the aristocratic circle, refusing such a duel would basically be a loss of face.

But the other party was not from this circle at all.

When Mick talked about this, he was furious: "Humph, there is no coward. Relying on Catalina's protection, he doesn't even have the courage to duel."

There are precedents of women in power in history.

In this situation, there will always be some jesters around female rulers who curry favor with the powerful.

In Mick's opinion, Ji Xun is such a person.

However, Lagong shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Either it's really like what you said, that boy has no strength. Or he doesn't take you seriously at all."

Mick immediately said indignantly, "Uncle, how is it possible?"

After all, I grew up in the army with the name of a genius. The demon mark, skills, martial arts, and career cards are all the best. How can I be worse than a civilian?

Besides, the strength of the fifth level is here. The younger generation can't say that no one can compare, but at least it won't be worse than anyone.

A trace of thought appeared in Lagong's sinister eyes, and he said slowly: "There is intelligence that the boy is Gong Wu's disciple, so his strength and talent are definitely not bad. And he is still alive after being wanted for so long, so he must have some tricks. But you are right about one thing. That guy can be so arrogant, or he has the confidence of the Lionheart family."

As he said, he paused and said meaningfully: "That little lion is worthy of attention."

"Humph."

Mick certainly knew the information and guessed that the other party was not weak, but he still didn't want to admit it in his heart.

At this time, looking at the two people who had left his sight in the elevator, the anger on Mick's face seemed to be burning.

From the information he got from the maid before, he knew that the relationship between the two was not simply exploited, but was really very close!

Thinking of this, Mick's eyes were instantly murderous.

After pursuing Katarina for so many years, he saw that he had already negotiated with the elders of the Lionheart family and it was almost certain that she would be his fiancée, but he watched her being taken away?

This is a humiliation that no man can bear!

Mick gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, are we just going to let it go?"

In addition to the person he loved being taken away, more importantly, this marriage represented the cooperation of the two major power groups of the Allied Army.

He couldn't understand why Katarina was so ignorant of the overall situation and actually agreed to a wanted criminal who had no power to rely on.

General Ragon certainly couldn't let his plan fail, and said lightly: "Young man, relying on your own talent, you are arrogant. I have seen too many such people. But their endings all disappeared suddenly at some point."

"."

Kak understood what his uncle meant and felt relieved.

In the upper class, marriage has never been about love, nor is it a matter of one person having the final say.

It is a combination of the interests of the two families.

This marriage has been approved by Katharina's mother, Lady Ingrid, and most of the elders of the Lionheart family, and there will be no changes.

Even if Katharina still keeps that "lover" after marriage.

The wedding will still be held as planned!

However, thinking of Katharina's increasing power in the alliance army, he also had a vague feeling that things might be out of control.

After all, Lagon is a veteran who has lived for most of his life. He knows the treacherous situation better than Mick.

No one can be left alive.

He will not allow any accidents to happen in his plan.

Thinking of this, Lagon said meaningfully: "Little Carter will eventually understand that marrying us is the best choice, and it is also for the future of the Alliance Army."

Mick also understood that his uncle had the intention to kill, and he had also had this idea for a long time.

However, from their position, killing is easy, but they have to weigh the pros and cons.

He hesitated and said, "But what about the South Continent? It is said that the boy is the key person to contact the South Continent. What if it is true?"

Lagong said disapprovingly, "He is just a middleman. Any relationship is actually an exchange of interests. The bigger the force, the more so. What he can give, we can also give, or even more."

He continued, "According to the intelligence I have obtained so far, the Rebel Dragon Army is also having a hard time surviving in the South Continent. There is a high probability that they want to migrate to the Old Continent. So our alliance army is their only cooperative ally. What they need is an ally, not a 'middleman'. There may be some trouble in the short term, but when we apologize and give up some interests, they will not care who is the middleman. Mick, after you marry Catalina, you will also be the core. The mental leadership, these things are not a problem in the future. "What did Cark think of, and hesitant:" In case the uncle you know, her means are not bad. The Million Army of the Beibo family is either vegetarian, or the elders of his lion's family will never allow it. It was much better. You know, that was the private room of the Allied Commander. On weekdays, almost no one went there except the maids.

Ji Xun and Catalina returned to the suite.

As soon as the two entered the door, the maids who had been waiting at the door for a long time said respectfully: "Miss, do you want to rest now?"

Catalina waved her hand: "No, I still want to drink some wine with Ji Xun. You are not needed here, go and do something else first."

The maids: "Yes, Miss."

Since we know that there are spies among the maids who are bribed by outsiders, they are kept to spoil the fun.

They have seen everything they were shown, so they were simply sent away.

The two entered the room and the door was closed.

Catalina walked straight to the wine cabinet, took out a few bottles of wine, and said, "Last time, we agreed that you should treat me to a drink this time. But Miss Alice happened to send a few bottles of precious wine, so I will treat you."

Ji Xun listened and smiled, "Well. Then I will definitely treat you next time."

"Okay, let's make an appointment first."

While speaking, Catalina had already taken two large high-foot glasses from the shelf: "Alice said that this wine is a specialty of the southern continent and is very precious."

Ji Xun didn't care at first, and helped to open the amber wine with a bottle opener. In an instant, a graceful fragrance came to his nose.

He couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of wine is this? It smells so good."

It must be said that just by the aroma, you know that this wine is very, very special.

Catalina's eyes seemed to hide something, and she only introduced: "Alice said it is a secret wine with an ancient mythological formula."

Ji Xun was also very interested: "Oh?"

There are many secret wines in this world, just like potions, with magical nourishing effects.

As she said that, she picked up the wine glass and poured a little amber liquid into both glasses.

"Cheers~"

The crisp sound of clinking glasses rang out in the empty room.

Ji Xun shook the wine glass and sniffed the smell to find out what it was, but it was too complicated so he didn't ask.

But it seemed that the aroma had an intoxicating feeling.

He drank it in one gulp, and immediately a stream of heat flowed down his throat.

In an instant, he felt his whole body warm up, and the alcohol was still spreading.

Just one sip, it made people feel mysterious and light.

"Huh? Good wine!"

Ji Xun couldn't help but exclaimed.

You know, alcohol is actually a paralysis toxin. He is now at level six and has a very high resistance to toxins. Normal alcohol has almost no effect on his body except for that little bit of alcohol aroma.

But this secret wine actually made him a little drunk?

And if you taste it carefully, the aftertaste is endless, as if the medicinal herbs in the wine are still nourishing his body.

Catalina's rank was not as high as his, so she drank it in one gulp, and her performance was even more obvious.

The alcohol instantly took over her head, and she felt a blush on her cheeks.

"Yeah! It's really good wine. This is the best wine I've ever drunk."

She looked at Ji Xun, and the blush on her face added a bit of seductive charm.

Before, drinking was a social event, but now drinking is life.

Catalina said again: "I haven't drunk it before. There are only two bottles in total. I was thinking of saving it for you to come."

As she said that, she poured some more into the two empty glasses.

Ji Xun smiled and raised his glass again: "My pleasure."

This time he drank more carefully, and slowly tasted it, only to find that the wine was stronger than expected.

Catalina also raised her slender neck and drank it.

Because it was very close to the opposite side, Ji Xun's eyes unconsciously looked along the swan-like neck, and then his eyes went all the way down, and then to a deep white.

The low-cut evening dress was just the right amount of sexy, charming but not revealing, gorgeous but not vulgar.

I don’t know why, but I can’t look away.

At this moment, Catalina poured the last sip of wine into her mouth, put down the wine glass, and happened to see the gaze falling on her chest.

She didn’t feel rude and covered anything, but laughed and teased: "Oh, you didn’t look when you were changing clothes before, but you are interested now?"

Ji Xun listened and laughed and shook his head, as if he was used to being teased by Catalina at some point.

Neither of them took it to heart. This atmosphere made them feel very relaxed, and they chatted about some light topics.

After drinking two more glasses, Ji Xun sat on the high stool.

Catalina’s dress was not good.

This kind of court-style fluffy skirt is fixed with steel rings in order to pursue the ultimate gorgeousness. It was designed to be able to stand all the time.

After standing all night, Catalina had already felt dissatisfied. There was no one in her room, so she would not make herself uncomfortable again.

Seeing that she could not sit down, she put down the wine glass and muttered: "Ah, I will go change clothes first. Wait for me."

Then she walked towards the cloakroom.

Just like in the afternoon, she did not hide the fact that there was a man in the room, and she did not intend to close the cloakroom door at all.

She did not care, and Ji Xun certainly did not care. He was savoring the wine by himself, and it seemed that he had just tasted some of the flavor. He thought to himself, "Why do I feel that the secret medicine in this wine contains dragon materials?"

Just thinking about it, Katarina's voice came from the cloakroom: "Ji Xun, come and help me."

"Oh."

Ji Xun immediately stood up and walked over, "What's wrong?"

Looking over, he saw Katarina standing in front of the mirror, turning back to point to the back of her skirt: "Help me unzip the zipper. There are several fixed steel rings on the back of this skirt, and I can't untie it."

Without a maid, this thing can't be done by himself.

Ji Xun took a look, walked over naturally, stopped at Katarina's back, looked at the smooth and beautiful back, and said: "How to do this?"

Although he has an amazing amount of knowledge, he really doesn't know much about women's clothing.

Catalina saw his predicament in the mirror and sneered: "Pull down the zipper and then unfasten the underwire. And don't just watch, try it yourself!"

Ji Xun chuckled, hiding a hint of embarrassment.

His fingers gently touched the smooth and delicate fabric, and carefully pulled it slowly along the track of the zipper.

As the zipper slowly slid down, the restraints on Catalina's back were released little by little. She gently exhaled a heavy breath of relief, as if she had unloaded a day's fatigue: "Huh, I'm finally comfortable."

"Is it done?"

Ji Xun asked, and his voice was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Originally, it was almost done, but Catalina didn't want to do it herself, and said: "No. And the underwire buttons next to it, all need to be unfastened."

Ji Xun listened to the instructions and directly unfastened a few buttons. At this time, the whole skirt was scattered like building blocks.

Without being fixed, the skirt completely slipped off her body and fell to the ground.

Catalina's graceful figure was exposed to the air in large areas, and her lower body was still wearing simple yet elegant underwear and panties.

Her upper body was completely exposed to the air.

Ji Xun saw her bare back from behind, which was as shiny as jade. I don't know if it was because of the wine, but there was an attractive blush in the warmth.

Under the illumination of the crystal lamp, it was radiant.

Because Catalina was facing away, the two of them didn't look at each other.

Ji Xun was also slightly surprised, not knowing that the clothes would be taken off once taken off. When he raised his eyes, he looked at Catalina's smiling face in the mirror.

Then they looked at each other.

There was no shyness on her beautiful face because of the exposed spring light, but she said generously: "Thank you~"

Ji Xun also smiled gentlemanly.

The two seemed to be used to this kind of scene together.

Catalina glanced at the closet and said casually, "Hand me that white shirt, thank you."

Ji Xun turned around and took two steps to take off the loose white shirt.

When he turned around, he saw Catalina taking off the leggings that matched the skirt, leaving only her tight underwear.

Now, the graceful curves were almost uncovered and fully displayed in front of him.

The light shone, and the skin exuded a bright color like satin.

The figure was well-proportioned. From the back, the buttocks were perky, the legs were slender, and the waistline was extremely graceful.

At the moment of glimpsing this spring scene, Ji Xun suddenly felt that he had a new understanding of Catalina's nickname "White Jade Lion".

The figure in front of him was really like a lion carved from white jade, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. But it seemed that his eyes couldn't stay and slid all the way down from the delicate skin.

The mirror just showed the front, but this glance was caught by Catalina who was bending over and looking up. Ji Xun did not avoid it, but took another look with appreciation.

Catalina put the pants she took off beside her, stood up, tilted her head, and had a playful smile on her lips.

The two looked at each other in the mirror for a moment.

Catalina couldn't help but sneer and said, "I've seen enough, please pass me the clothes."

There was no tone of mind, only the pride of a lonely rose blooming and outshining all the flowers.

Ji Xun didn't feel embarrassed at all for being caught, so he walked over and lowered his white shirt.

Catalina took it, listened to her chest, and asked casually, "How is it?"

Of course, she was asking about her figure.

The distance was very close, and it was clear.

The other party was not stingy in showing off her beauty, and Ji Xun was also not stingy in praising: "Well! Very good."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

Katerina was very satisfied with what she heard.

This atmosphere made both of them feel very happy and just right.

While putting on her shirt, she did not forget to complain quietly: "Hey, hey, hey, I still remember clearly the hateful comments you made in Honglou at that time"
