Chapter 325 - 270: Breaking the Track and Field World Record! The Time of Coronation
"...I see." Howard nodded thoughtfully, glancing at James with admiration. ’He really is the smartest person in our Raven Family!’
Then, Howard stared at Chu Bamboo on the field with a complicated expression.
"Go on!" James leaned back nonchalantly in his chair, exuding the aura of a titan who had everything under control. "Prepare to convene another... general meeting!"
"To welcome... our new Mr. Fool!"
"Heh heh!" A smirk formed on James’s lips. ’The great thing about the Fool is that he stands for a just cause but has no power base of his own. If he were to truly join with our numerous factions, with the top-ranked White-headed Eagle Faction...’
’Heh heh!’ James’s gaze was profound, as if he could see that perfect future—a future where even unifying the entire Golden Dawn might not be entirely impossible.
...
「On the other side.」
Chu Bamboo met up with Hodges, who was still reeling in shock. "Get ready to run," Chu Bamboo said.
Hodges said, "...Huh?!"
’Wait a minute, if I remember correctly... this competition is supposed to last for three days, right?!’
’You broke the world record in the 200-meter today, but isn’t there still the 100-meter tomorrow?! I even heard some coaches discussing it earlier, saying that if you could break the 200-meter record, you could one hundred percent break the 100-meter one too... After all, that’s what Bolt did! He was the world champion in both the 100-meter and 200-meter at the same time—’
’In a way, that’s also why these two races aren’t held on the same day! They’re worried that holding them back-to-back would affect the athletes’ performance.’
"We’re going to save your daughter," Chu Bamboo said, his tone calm.
’Originally, I was building up my fame to get clearance for Nuwa No. 17... but with Lin Xin Bamboo in the picture, there’s not much point to it anymore!’
’The only reason I even participated in this track meet was to fulfill my promise to Coach Yuan...’
’After all, given the current situation, there’s no way I’ll be able to participate in the White-headed Eagle Olympics a few years from now... so I’ll just treat this as a substitute!’
Whether Coach Yuan would explode with anger or be able to accept it, Chu Bamboo didn’t know. In any case, he had done what he needed to do. His mind was at ease, and that was enough for him...
"...Okay." Even though countless questions still swirled in his mind, once Chu Bamboo mentioned saving his daughter, Hodges’s only choice was to nod. "When do we leave...?"
"Around," Chu Bamboo said after a quick mental calculation, "six o’clock tomorrow morning... Hmm. Prepare yourself for a rough time. This time, we’re going to Southern Mexico."
Chu Bamboo narrowed his eyes, looking toward the southwest as his thoughts churned. ’During the Dream World resets leading up to May 2nd, although I was mainly practicing my Skills, I didn’t neglect my diary.’
’Although my "good brother" still didn’t quite dare to enter the Mayan Ruins, because of the resets over these past days, he would always use his final run to refresh the Reproduction of the Thousand Shadows and Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Techniques.’
’Even though it only gave him ten minutes of use! But my "good brother" still managed to use those ten minutes to glimpse many secrets... especially since he could try again and again!’
’Although I’m still not clear on the truth of the Mayan Ruins!’ Chu Bamboo’s eyes glinted. He had, however, already found the perfect route to save most of the people trapped inside.
’It’s just...’
’If I can’t investigate the depths of the Mayan Ruins for the suspected... source of the avian flu’s transformation into a hyper-virulent strain! Then, that irreversible crisis will still break out in ’27... no, it might even happen sooner!’
"???" After thinking for a moment, Hodges asked cautiously, "Why six in the morning?"
’If we’re escaping... shouldn’t we do it in the middle of the night?’
"Oh! Because I need to sleep." Chu Bamboo’s answer was so matter-of-fact that it made Hodges’s brain crash for a moment.
"Just kidding!" Chu Bamboo smiled, looked to the north, and murmured, "Because tonight... I need to spend a little bit of energy... to paralyze the enemy!"
