Chapter 206: Sinking and Despair on the Water Bed! The Shattered Dream Paradise!
"Beep click."
Holding a special black-gold room card, Tatsuya pushed open the door to the most luxurious "Dreamy Bubble Suite" on the top floor of the Sabaody Archipelago Couple Bubble Hotel.
As the heavy solid wood door slowly closed, the prosperity and noise of the outside streets were completely cut off.
The entire space instantly fell into a heart-pounding sense of privacy and tranquility.
In the center of the room sat an enormous, translucent, constant-temperature water bed.
A faint glow emanated from within the water bed.
Countless colored soap bubbles emitting an aphrodisiac scent floated in the air all around.
Tatsuya walked to the central control panel on the wall.
He casually adjusted the indoor lighting to a blurred, dark rose red.
As the sound of pitter-pattering water ceased, the frosted glass door of the bathroom was gently pulled open.
Tatsuya's originally steady breathing instantly became a bit heavier.
Nami's eyes held a hint of evasion, yet they also revealed a trace of anticipation and wildness like a little wildcat.
Robin walked toward Tatsuya with elegant steps, her slender fingers carrying a slight chill as they lightly brushed across his solid chest, her voice husky and alluring:
"Mr. Vice Captain, are you... satisfied with your spoils of war?"
Tatsuya did not answer with words.
"Ah!"
The temperature in the room instantly shot up.
...
A few hours later, the sky outside had been dyed a brilliant golden and fiery red by the setting sun.
The light and shadows of dusk spilled into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
The Dreamy Bubble Suite was filled with a lazy, sweet atmosphere.
Tatsuya leaned halfway against the headboard, fine beads of sweat still on his open chest.
Nami lay obediently on Tatsuya's left chest.
The corners of her eyes still held a blush that had not yet faded, and her voice was soft and sweet:
"Tatsuya... I once thought that for the rest of my life, I could only survive in endless nightmares and the abyss.
"But now... as long as you are by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
On the other side, Robin's beautiful eyes, which usually hid too many worries, were now filled with unprecedented relaxation and peace:
"A twenty-year life of flight..."
"I originally thought my final destination could only be dying silently in some betrayal and loneliness."
"But now...
"I have finally found that destination where I can close my eyes in peace, even if it's the end of the world outside."
Listening to Robin's affectionate words, Nami gave a soft huff.
She raised her head and shot Tatsuya a look, with a bit of a woman's playfulness:
"Don't get too full of yourself, you hateful guy. From now on, having the two of us great beauties will be enough for you."
Robin let out a light laugh upon hearing this.
"Ah, that's right."
"It should be enough to satisfy this greedy fellow, shouldn't it?"
A deep tenderness flashed in Tatsuya's dark eyes.
"The hell of the past is completely over."
Tatsuya's voice was steady, as if making an eternal vow.
"As long as I am alive for one more day, you will forever be free. I love you."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
After resting sufficiently, the three of them got up to tidy their appearance.
Tatsuya stood before the dressing table, hairdryer in hand, considerately and skillfully helping Nami dry her neat orange short hair.
Robin sat before the mirror, meticulously touching up her makeup.
The charm she exuded in her every move, having been thoroughly nourished, was soul-stirring.
In the evening.
The setting sun dyed the bubbles flying all over Sabaody Archipelago into a brilliant golden-red; the entire island was as beautiful as a richly colored oil painting.
The three of them pushed through the hotel's revolving doors and stepped back onto the street.
Tatsuya was in a pleasant mood, a faint smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.
He planned to take the two ladies to the top restaurant on the island for a good meal to replenish their strength.
However, just as the three of them turned a corner arm-in-arm, before the smiles had completely faded from their faces.
"Bang!"
In the previously bustling street ahead, a burst of terrified screams suddenly erupted without warning.
The pedestrians, who had been strolling leisurely, screamed and frantically scattered to both sides of the street as if they had seen some terrifying plague god, unable to get away fast enough.
A man, barely clothed and covered in blood, stumbled out from a dark alley nearby.
Most strikingly, a heavy steel collar was locked around the man's neck.
The man's eyes bulged from extreme fear and despair, tears mixed with blood covering his face.
He desperately reached out his hands to the surrounding pedestrians, crying out shrilly for help:
"Save me! Please, I beg you, save me!"
"I don't want to be taken back by the Celestial Dragons to be a dog..."
"I beg you, someone help me take this thing off!!"
The Bomb Collar around the man's neck was now flashing with a piercing, dazzling red light.
It was accompanied by the increasingly rapid "beep-beep-beep" of a death alarm.
Staggering, he happened to fall heavily in the middle of the street, less than ten meters in front of Tatsuya's group.
Looking at the slave on the ground desperately seeking survival, Nami's kind nature instantly took over.
Her pupils contracted sharply, she let out a cry of surprise, and was about to step forward to help.
At this very moment.
Tatsuya sensed a fatal danger.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tatsuya instantly reached out his strong arms and pulled both Nami and Robin into his embrace simultaneously.
Exerting force with his feet, he carried the two of them in a rapid retreat, instantly opening up a safe distance.
"Boom—!!!"
The very next second after Tatsuya retreated.
The Bomb Collar around the slave's neck, accompanied by a blinding flash of fire, exploded cruelly and violently!
The violent sound of the explosion tore through the evening silence of Sabaody Archipelago.
Scalding blood and the fire of the explosion instantly burst across the flat street, a shocking sight.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
Tatsuya slowly released his hands that were protecting the two ladies.
He stood where he was and raised his head.
Those deep dark eyes quietly looked at the mangled corpse lying in a pool of blood a few meters away.
The satisfaction and laziness that had remained on his face from the romantic moments were completely stripped away in this instant.
In its place was an endless coldness and killing intent.
The multicolored bubbles still reflected the light of the setting sun in mid-air, as beautiful as ever.
But on the ground, there was only nauseating blood and severed limbs.
The dreamy fairyland and the cruel hell had, at this moment, abruptly collided.
