A few days later, Luca successfully completed the transaction of ancient Roman gold coins and transferred most of the funds to Giovanni. Although the amount was slightly less than expected, each person received 6 million euros, which was enough to solve the problem of tuition and living expenses, and even left a considerable amount of money for the expenses required for the adventure.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Luca asked with a smile, with a hint of confidence in his tone.
Giovanni nodded: "Thank you for your help, Luca. As for the cooperation proposal you mentioned... We still need to study it further."
Luca shrugged, seemingly not caring: "It doesn't matter, this kind of thing is not urgent. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."
Sophia and Isabella exchanged a meaningful look, obviously still doubting Luca's true intentions. But for now, they decided to put aside these concerns for the time being and focus on enjoying the rare time of relaxation.
After leaving Luca's villa, Isabella suddenly suggested: "Since we have enough money now, why don't we go to the beach for a few days! Everyone has been too nervous during this period and needs to relax."
Sophia immediately agreed: "That's right, and the weather is so good, it would be a waste not to go to the beach!"
Giovanni hesitated: "But our mission is not yet completed, the fragments of the wheel of fortune..."
Aletia interrupted him: "Giovanni, proper rest is also necessary. Besides, we can continue to discuss the next plan at the beach."
Hearing her words, Giovanni finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, then go for a few days. But don't forget to stay alert."
So the four decided to go to a private beach in southern Italy, "Il Riccio" - a place with beautiful scenery and few tourists, where you can enjoy the sun and the beach while avoiding unnecessary troubles.
After arriving at the destination, Giovanni was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him. The blue sea and the white beach complement each other, the coconut trees in the distance sway in the wind, and the air is filled with a faint salty smell.
"Wow, this place is so great!" Isabella excitedly took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the soft sand, "I feel a lot more relaxed!"
Sophia gracefully held up the parasol and said with a smile: "It seems that this choice is wise. We can completely relax in the next few days."
Giovanni sat on the beach chair and watched the three girls put on swimsuits and walked into the sea. He suddenly felt dazed. He had never seen such a scene - three school beauties gathered together, and all of them were wearing sexy swimsuits, with hot bodies that were suffocating.
Sophia chose a pure white one-piece swimsuit. The close-fitting fabric was like a second layer of skin, outlining her exquisite curves without reservation, and every inch of ups and downs seemed to be telling of temptation; Isabella wore a bright red bikini. The bold cut and warm color complemented each other, like a burning flame, exuding endless vitality and passion. Wherever she went, the air seemed to be ignited; and although Aletia lowered her eyes and was a little shy, her light blue retro swimsuit had a unique charm. The retro style and the fresh and elegant color were perfectly integrated, which perfectly set off her unique temperament, just like a blue enchantress quietly blooming in a quiet corner, mysterious and charming, making people want to get closer to explore.
"Giovanni, what are you daydreaming about?" Isabella noticed his gaze and deliberately leaned over to tease, "Is this the first time you see so many beauties?"
Giovanni hurriedly looked away, but his nose bled because he was too nervous. This scene made everyone laugh.
"Hahaha, you are so shy!" Isabella patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, we won't eat you."
Sophia's mouth curled up a playful smile, her eyes were as gentle as water and a little teasing, her voice was soft but hit the heart: "How about this, the three of us will be your girlfriends! You are so amazing, you will definitely make us all happy, right?" As she said that, she deliberately moved closer to you, and her warm breath sprayed on your ears, causing your heartbeat to accelerate. Isabella also followed suit, her eyes full of teasing and curiosity, her arms around her chest, her body slightly leaning forward, the red bikini became more dazzling, "That's right, can you do it? We are all very 'difficult'." Although Aletia still lowered her head, her fingers couldn't help but twist the corners of her clothes, and the blush on her face spread to her ears. She looked shy and timid, as if silently inviting you to explore her inner desire.
Giovanni's face flushed instantly, and he stammered back, "Don't joke! You can't say such things casually!"
Aletia stood aside, with a blush on her face. As an elf from three thousand years ago, she was very uncomfortable with the open speech of modern people. "Mortal jokes are really bold..." She muttered in a low voice.
In order to let Aletia better integrate into modern life, Giovanni suggested that she try some new things, such as sunbathing, playing with sand or soaking in sea water.
"Do we really have to do this?" Aletia stood on the beach a little stiffly, with her hands crossed over her chest, "I always feel a little weird being exposed to the sun."
Isabella pulled her arm and dragged her to the lounge chair: "Don't worry! Look, we are all basking in the sun, how comfortable! Besides, your skin is already fair and delicate, a little sun exposure will be healthier!"
Aletia lay on the chair half-believingly, closed her eyes and felt the warmth of the sun. Not long after, she fell asleep in a daze.
"She is really cute." Sophia whispered, with a hint of envy in her tone, "I didn't expect an elf three thousand years ago to be so simple."
Giovanni looked at Aletia's peaceful sleeping face, and a warm current surged in his heart: "Yes, she always protects me silently and never complains about anything."
In the afternoon, the four decided to build a sand castle together. However, due to lack of experience, Giovanni's work looked more like a crooked little mound of earth.
"What is this? Is it abstract art?" Isabella pointed at his sand castle and laughed.
Sophia carefully helped him to shape it: "Don't be discouraged, just take your time. It's actually quite creative!"
While they were busy, Aletia suddenly performed a little magic and turned the sand castle into an exquisite mini castle, even with flags flying.
"Wow, this is amazing!" Isabella exclaimed, "I would have asked you to help directly!"
Giovanni smiled helplessly: "Aletia, aren't you cheating?"
Aletia smiled slightly: "I just want to make everyone happy."
In the evening, the sunset dyed the whole sky red, and the sea surface sparkled, as if coated with a layer of gold gauze. The four sat around the campfire, talking about past experiences and future plans.
"Although there are still many mysteries to be solved, at least we can enjoy this moment of peace now." Giovanni looked at the horizon in the distance, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Sophia nodded: "That's right. However, the road ahead may be more difficult. We must be prepared."
Isabella stretched and said mischievously: "Who cares! Anyway, with you here, we have nothing to fear!"
Aletia looked at Giovanni quietly, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. She knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, but she was willing to stay with him all the time.
As night fell, the stars dotted the dark sky, and the waves gently beat the beach, bringing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. However, behind this calm, a new crisis is quietly brewing...
