Chapter 4 from heroic plot

"Come on! Let's go dance too!"

Alex stretched out his hand to Maggie, which surprised and delighted Maggie. She asked shyly:

"Are you serious?"

Alex smiled brightly and said:

"certainly!"

Maggie was immediately elated after hearing this, and who knew that the next second he would also pull Max along.

"I can't do without you two!"

Jack pulled the two of them over. It turned out that this was what Jack meant. Maggie was dumbfounded and rolled her eyes unhappily.

"I really can't stand you...you always want to drag us out!..."

Maggie and Max were half-pushed and half-pushed by Jack to the campfire and danced with the crowd. Although Jack didn't think there was anything wrong, there were still whispers in the crowd.

"Isn't that the young master of the Hawke family? Why do you always like to hang out with poor people... Haha..."

These people whispering on the sidelines are young men and women who live relatively well-off lives in the Yanqiu Valley. Some people laugh at it, and some are envious of it.

"Hmph...there are people like this."

Alex heard these words, but he just laughed them off and continued dancing happily, not caring what these people thought.

Finally, the lively music came to an end, and the crowd was still unsatisfied. Then the violinist immediately changed the style of music, and suddenly soft and affectionate notes sounded leisurely.

Seeing that except for Alex and the other three, everyone else was dancing slowly in pairs. Maggie and Max looked very embarrassed. The three of them just stood among them, looking extremely awkward.

"It's really disgusting...I don't want to jump anymore!"

Maggie showed an unhappy expression and was about to leave, but Max, who was facing him, seemed to be hesitant to talk and wanted to keep her, which made Alex see it.

Alex has always known that Max likes Maggie, but Maggie seems to have no other thoughts about Max, and Max has low self-esteem and is introverted and dare not confess, which makes Alex always find ways to help him.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, Alex happened to see Anna Rayne slowly coming to the square with a few girls, which gave Alex an idea.

"Hey! Don't leave yet."

Alex grabbed Maggie's shoulders and pushed her in front of Max.

"What are you doing?!"

Maggie thought reluctantly, because she didn't know Alex's intention, and saw Alex pointing in the direction of Anna Rayne and saying:

"Look, it's Anna Rayne here. I'm going to invite her to dance. As for you... just pretend to be a couple dancing and help me keep an eye on it!"

Maggie wanted to refuse, but Alex immediately made a condition.

"How about I think of a way for you to take a week's paid leave at the tailor factory?"

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

Maggie heard that she could take a week off and get paid. No matter how stubborn she was, she felt happy about such a good thing.

"That's... not bad... but I don't believe you can date her. Max, let's go!"

Maggie pulled Max to the other side of the square without any hesitation, while Max looked back at Alex happily and shyly, as if to say, "Thank you, brother!"

After Alex tidied up his appearance and made sure he looked handsome, he walked straight towards Anna Rayne.

Anna and several female team members were originally standing on the edge of the square chatting, but Alex's arrival made them all exclaim. After all, Alex's family background is rich and he is handsome.

"Hey heroine, can I ask you to dance?"

Alex confidently extended his hand to Anna and asked to dance, but Anna didn't want to ignore him because what she disliked the most was this kind of rich kid who only had money and power but knew nothing.

Anna sighed and planned to send Alex away casually.

"Master Alex... save it, your pick-up tricks are of no use to me, you might as well invite someone else."

Alex didn't care at all about Anna's rejection. He responded with a smile:

"It may not be useful now, but diamonds are worthy of being brave enough to be obtained without fear of hardship. I am not afraid of them. I believe that where there is a will, there is a way."

Anna was slightly defeated by this thick face, and she smiled a little at the corner of her mouth. Although she may not have a good impression of Alex, she finally said something:

"Okay...seeing that your Hawk family has been supporting the resistance force behind the scenes, I will dance with you, just one dance."

After speaking, Anna very simply took Alex's hand and came to the campfire, and the two began to dance gracefully to the melodious music.

"How can it be?"

Maggie, who originally thought that Alex could not date Anna, was now exclaiming in disbelief, forgetting that Max, who was dancing with her, was looking at her in disappointment and looking at Alex...

At this time, Alex, who was happily dancing with Anna, did not want to miss the opportunity at all, and further asked Anna:

"I'm curious...since you don't like rich kids like me, what kind of person do you like?"

This question made Anna look at Alex with a half-smiling expression but hesitated to speak and said:

"At least like someone."

After Anna finished speaking, she looked behind Alex meaningfully, which made Alex look back curiously.

There was a commotion in the square, and another person Alex didn't want to meet appeared. He was Leo Oster.

Leo's appearance caused most of the girls to flock towards him, which made Alex look at Leo with some discomfort.

Leo quickly noticed Anna and Alex and walked straight towards them.

"So you are here."

Leo greeted Anna calmly, and Anna took her hand away from Alex's hand, which made Alex feel a little unhappy.

Anna introduces Alex to Leo.

"He's Alex..."

Before Anna could continue the introduction, Leo smiled and said:

"The only son of the Hawke family, who doesn't know? I heard that he is very handsome, but he seems to have not decided what his future will be like... I kind of want to help you..."

Alex's face was quite ugly. How could he not hear that Leo was sarcastic about him? So he stood forward and looked at Leo at close range and said:

"No! Thank you for your kindness."

Just as there was an invisible smell of gunpowder spreading between the two, suddenly the alarm lights started to go off.

This disturbing yellow warning light comes on and everyone knows what's going on, it means nothing more than that the "nest" is coming!

At this time, the trees were shaking on the ground 5 kilometers away, a low and loud roar resounded through the ground, and the animals were running away frantically. An object as huge as a city directly blocked the moonlight shining on the forest.

This huge object is like a giant crab carrying the city on its back. Every step of its 500-meter-high mechanical feet carries a terrifying vibration. It is the "nest" number 9 of the artificial intelligence city of Tianzai.

"Quick, quick! Turn off the main power!"

All the residents of Yanqiu Valley urgently stopped all mechanical operations and movements, and even put out the campfires. Everyone only dared to take a small breath, did not dare to make any movements, and waited quietly...

I saw bursts of vibrations coming from above the cave in the Rock Hill Valley, which meant that the 'nest' had arrived directly above the shelter.

Everyone in the square did not dare to move and held their breath for fear of making any sound and being detected by the nest.

Finally, the vibrations gradually subsided, which meant that the "nest" was gone. However, when the power was restored, Maggie and Max immediately looked around for Alex. Unexpectedly, Alex fell down awkwardly at this moment. on the ground.

"Hey...what's wrong with you?"

Maggie stepped forward to care about Alex who fell to the ground, but Alex didn't respond. He just stared at Leo in front of him because he knew that it was Leo who just took advantage of the opportunity to restore power and hit him hard. Kicked him down.

Leo didn't say anything, just looked at Alex with a provocative smile, and then pulled Anna away.

At this time, everyone gradually dispersed, and only Maggie and Max were left in the square, helping Alex to stand up without saying a word...
