"This kind of thing is really like your style." Capullo tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Don't tell me I have such a chess piece by my side?"
"Absolutely not. If we don't even have this little bit of sincerity, then our alliance is too fragile." Vincent said indifferently, "The purpose of our Light Concealment Society is to hide in the shadows and control the course of the world. Doing things like this is in line with our purpose, and if it weren't for some accidents, we wouldn't have been exposed to the sun. Now, we're just doing things in the past. "
"The best thing about this plan is that the Sword of Daybreak belongs to the Federation. Even if I can't kill that man, I don't think Mobius will know how to explain it to him afterwards. At that time, they will be suspicious, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Induce, subvert, and finally destroy the Federation! "
Capullo narrowed his eyes and stood up, "If I were just a marshal of the Federation, I would never agree to such a thing. It's a shame to use a spatial weapon to deal with an expert, but now I still need to be responsible for my army and people. So, I will support this plan. "
Vincent laughed, "It's not enough to say that, Marshal Capullo. I need to see something substantial."
"For example?" Capullo raised his eyebrows.
"For example, I need a group of Golden Lion elites to protect me at all times. Of course, these people must remove the symbols of the Golden Lion. What do you think? "
"Then what do you think are the standards of the so-called elites?"
"The captain should be at least at the Major General level. The members should all be colonels. Only then can they be called elites."
'"You have a big appetite, Vincent," Capullo laughed. This configuration is basically no different from my guards. Alright, if you want someone, I'll give it to you. "
Capullo knew very well that Vincent was doing this to add some security to his cooperation. If Capullo went back on his word or did anything to betray the Federation, then this team would definitely be handed over to the Federation, and Vincent would have enough evidence to prove that they were Capullo's men. At that time, Capullo would definitely not be able to escape.
However, Capullo was no fool. After agreeing to Vincent's request, he said, "Courtesy is reciprocal. Mr. Vincent, shouldn't you also tell me who the chess piece is that can use the Star Rail Cannon?"
Vincent smiled and said, "The director of the Space Defense Agency is also the deputy designer of the Sword of Dawn. Marshal Capullo should be no stranger to him."
”
"Is that him?" Capullo was stunned and nodded, "This chess piece is buried very deeply. Even the Space Agency has your people." If it was him, he would be able to control Daybreaker. But in that case, wouldn't he be exposed? "
Vincent laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. Back then, when we were designing it, Lowesford installed a backdoor in Daybreak Sword's system. This backdoor can bypass NASA's activation system and authorization requirements. After using it, the backdoor will disappear on its own. Lowesford is on vacation now. Who do you think will associate him with? "
"Since your plan is so detailed, then I have nothing else to say. I wish you success in your plan. Besides, the person you want will be delivered in the afternoon. Goodbye first. "
After watching Capullo stride away, Vincent and Wally looked at each other and smiled.
At noon, an airship landed at the dock of the Bescot family base. Allen got off the deck and Leon shouted from the cabin above, "The day after tomorrow is the negotiation day. Let's meet again then. Have a good time for two days, brother."
Allen nodded with a smile.
There was already a flying car waiting for him in the harbor. Allen got into the flying car and drove towards the family mansion. A few flying cars could be seen parked in the small square, as if there were visitors. Before Allen could enter the building, Helsing, who had received the news, walked out and smiled, "Young Master Allen, you're back."
"Well, Mr. Helsing, do we have any guests?"
Helsing nodded and said, "Mr. Kate and his son of the Morsons are here to visit, and Mr. Hughton is here too.
”
Hearing that Hughton had also come, Allen's eyes immediately lit up. When he first arrived in Babylon, Hughton was in charge of guiding him. After that, he taught him the knowledge of the magic energy sequence. It could be said that he was his first teacher. Moreover, Hughton's granddaughter, Vera, was on an expedition with Allen, so her relationship with him was naturally deep. He immediately asked, "Where are they?"
"Mr. Kate and the others are in the study with Master, while Mr. Hughton is in the wine cellar."
The wine cellar was behind the main building, and when Allen arrived, the sun fell on the door of the wine cellar. The dust danced in the sunlight, making it seem so quiet. Allen couldn't help but breathe lightly, as if breathing hard would disturb the silence. He pushed open the door of the wine cellar and Hughton's voice sounded from inside, "I say, Steward Helsing, why are you all young wines? Although Babylon is gone, I know that you have a lot of wineries on the surface. It's too stingy to hide good wine like this. "
Allen listened to the voice and walked past a row of shelves. He saw an old man with his back facing him, squatting on the ground and picking something. As he looked for it, he complained. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man turned around. When Ellen walked into the sunlight of the window and saw his face clearly, Hughton was stunned.
"Teacher Hughton." Allen smiled and said, "Are you well?"
Unexpectedly, Hughton stood up abruptly and pounced over. He grabbed Allen by the collar and said, "Bastard, you're finally back. Where's my Vera? Has she come back? Was she doing well on the Heavenly Star? Is anyone bullying her? Is she in love? Damn it, I haven't seen her in a long time! "
The series of questions made Allen dizzy. He finally regained his senses and smiled bitterly, "Vera didn't come back, but I promise she's doing well on Planet Heaven. If you want, I'll ask Grandpa to arrange for you to visit him on Planet Heaven. You can even move to Planet Heaven, so you won't have to be separated from Vera in the future. "
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
Hughton let go of him and laughed, "You know how to behave, kid. Not bad, kid. I heard that you even taught that old fellow Capullo a lesson when you came back. In the future, I'll feel even more honored if I tell others that I'm your teacher. "
"I'm so happy today. I must drink!" Hughton glanced at the bottles of good wine and licked his lips. "Of course it's your Bescot treat!"
"Yes, yes."
As a result, Hughton got drunk that afternoon. Allen carried him back to the guest room. Listening to the old man's snoring, Allen felt as if he had returned to the day he had first arrived in Babylon. When he saw Hughton, the retired veteran of the Federation was completely drunk.
However, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was no longer the ignorant youth from back then, and there were many more wrinkles on Hughton's face.
After withdrawing from the guest room, Housekeeper Helsing informed him that Horn was waiting for him in the study. When Allen arrived at the study, Kate and his son had just left. Seeing Adele's grandfather, Allen nodded and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Kate."
Old Kate held Allen's hand warmly and said, "I heard you had some trouble on the surface yesterday. Adele complained when she came back that she should have brought her sniper rifle with her. Are you okay?"
Because of Old Kate's relationship with Horn, Allen had always regarded him as an elder. Moreover, his concern came from the bottom of his heart, not from the surface. Allen shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern. It's just a small matter."
The Smiths announced their actions against Leon, but they did not mention the foreshadowing in Beer City, so Old Kate did not know the connection between the two events. Allen did not explain, and Old Kate treated it as a small matter. She let go of Allen's hand and said, "Go in. Your grandfather is waiting. I won't delay your time. Come to my house when you have time, Allen."
"I will."
After watching Old Kate and her son leave, Allen knocked on the door of the study. After Horn said "come in", he pushed the door open and entered. After Horn stepped down as the Patriarch, he seemed to be much more relaxed than before. If it was in the past, he would most likely see him reading documents or working at his desk when he came to the study. But at this moment, he was standing by the window with a cup of tea in his hand. The sunlight outside the window fell on his mottled hair. The old man's body was still as straight as a pine tree, not giving off the slightest feeling of old age.
"You're back, Allen. Have you seen Mr. Hughton? "Horn turned around and asked.
Allen nodded, "Teacher, he's asleep."
"Mr. Hughton is drunk again, isn't he? He misses his granddaughter too much. "
"I've already promised Teacher that I'll send him to Paradise Star to live with Vera. But Grandpa will have to arrange this for me. "
"It's just a small matter. I'll let Roddy do it later. Now that Grandpa is no longer the Patriarch, many of the family's matters are handled by your Uncle Roddy. If you need anything, you can go directly to him. " Horn sighed and said, "I wanted you to inherit this position as a form of compensation for Lanny. Unexpectedly, so many things happened after that. Fortunately, I didn't do so. With your current achievements, a mere Patriarch is nothing. "
"No, Grandpa." Allen shook his head and said, "No matter what I achieve, I will never forget that I am Bescot."
"This child …" Horn laughed and waved his hand to let Allen sit down. He put down his teacup, pulled a chair over and sat down. "Do you know what Old Kate and the others are doing here?"
Allen shook his head honestly.
"They want to marry us."
"Marriage?"
Horn nodded. "It's Adele. Old Kate thinks it's time to find a home for his most precious granddaughter. The ideal person, of course, is you. "
'"No, Grandpa," Allen hurriedly said. "I feel like a sister to Adele, and there's no such feeling between the two of us."
Horn laughed, "Old Kate said the same thing. He asked Adele and got almost the same answer. So the target of this marriage is not you, but Reina. "
