Chapter 264: Meeting in the Mouse Room
Mouse Room, -6F of Millennium Tower, nine o’clock in the evening.
In the brightly illuminated meeting room, all members of the Twelve Zodiac Signs sat around the rectangular conference table.
Dragon had been woken from hibernation by White Rabbit. Since she had chosen the gentle way of waking him up, the whole process took a few hours, starting from the afternoon and ending in the evening.
Wearing a long white cotton henley and a pair of loose, light blue jeans, Dragon sat on the main seat with his legs tucked in, barefooted. Place on the table before him was a cup of fragrant black coffee.
He picked up the cup and lowered his head for a sip, melting the exhaustion from his hibernation a little.
About ten seconds later, he put down the cup and looked around the room. “Apologies for the long wait. Let us begin.”
“Understood.”
White Rabbit remained standing by Dragon’s side. She concisely summarized the situation at hand.
According to Madam Li’s prediction, the Crimson Tide would be coming in ten days, more serious than ever before. She hadn’t gotten into the details, but instead used the information as leverage to compel the three major organizations to work together, and for the other two organizations to provide the Hundred Rivers Union with protection.
After White Rabbit’s briefing, the meeting room fell into a short silence.
Dragon looked down at his coffee without sharing his thoughts.
War Tiger took out a cigarette from the almost empty pack and put it in his mouth. “Surnamed Li’s Prophet is the real deal. She didn’t lie. That I’m certain of.”
“Both Uncle Tiger and I believe that the restriction imposed by the Heavenly Way will give even further during this Crimson Tide.”
White Rabbit paused before continuing, “Our usual way of protecting ourselves won’t work. Only that will explain why Madam Li is so eager to gain our cooperation and protection, even if she has to resort to threats.”
“I get all that, but it’s still infuriating that she keeps secrets and uses them against us!” Wu Dahai clasped his hands behind his head and rested his feet on the table, his legs crossed.
“That is Surnamed Li’s only bargaining chip, Electric Mouse. What would you have done were you in her place?” War Tiger smiled. “Just tell the other organizations the truth?”
Dead Pig laughed heartily. “She’s worried that the Qilin Guild and us will be even less likely to spare them any attention once we learn of the magnitude of the crisis.”
“True.” Wu Dahai sighed. “The Hundred Rivers Union has it hard.”
“What do the rest of you think?” War Tiger looked at Officer Huang, who was closest to him. “You first, Yellow Ox.”
“I believe awakeners should band together. The teeth cannot survive without the protection of the lips.” Officer Huang knew what the Crimson Tide was now, and he was most worried about his wife and their unborn child.
“I agree with everyone.” Dragon looked up and slowly scanned the room. Then he made the final decision, “The Twelve Zodiac Signs agrees to an alliance.”
White Rabbit picked up her phone. “I’ll tell Surnamed Li.”
Just when she was going to make the call, her phone rang. The caller ID put a frown on her face.
After two seconds of hesitation, she picked up the call, saying in an irritable tone, “Yeah? What is it?”
“Hm, right... I get it... We’ll consider it...”
She hung up soon.
War Tiger glanced at her. “Who was that?”
“Your beloved disciple.”
“Little Yang Yang!” War Tiger beamed with his whole face.
Qing Ling and Officer Huang exchanged a glance.
“Ha, Little Yang Yang?” White Rabbit scowled. “He’s now Elder Seven Shadow of the Qilin Guild, a trusted subordinate of Qilin. And he’s coming here to make a trade. He’s gone up in the world!”
“Haha! An accomplished student is their master’s best achievement! And a tiger fathers no dog...” Realizing how inappropriate the analogy was, War Tiger quickly shut up.
White Rabbit couldn’t have rolled her eyes further into her skull. Her disgust was apparent.
The look was immediately replaced by a gentle and reverent expression when she turned to Dragon. “Captain, Seven Shadow wants to trade Rune Circuits with us. Do we agree?”
“Dark Horse? Of course.” Dragon smiled faintly. “I quite miss him.”
“Captain!” White Rabbit pouted, irked. “Why do all of you like the traitor so much?”
“That’s immature of you, Rabbit.” War Tiger put his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow. “True friendship between gentlemen is quiet like a stream. The relationship between me, Captain, and Little Yang Yang is one of mutual appreciation and fated affection...”
“Shut up, I’m begging you.” White Rabbit put her hand on her chest dramatically.
Dragon said, “Please fetch me another cup of coffee, White Rabbit. Tell Dark Horse to come see me here.”
“Captain, he’s just an Elder. You don’t have to meet him personally. Uncle Tiger and I can...”
“I understand,” Dragon cut her off. “But I want to meet him.”
“Dragon does everything for a reason. Stop worrying over nothing.” War Tiger stood up and clapped. “Alright, you’re dismissed. Stay in the base and don’t run around outside. Stand by and wait for further instructions.”N♡vεlB¡n: Transforming Moments into Memories.
