"That Diego is too hateful. If this was on Adahua Planet, I would have killed him eight hundred times!" Lucy said angrily.
Allen shook his head and smiled, "Diego's temperament/tolerance is like this, and his achievements are limited." There was no need to pay attention to such a person. What was the use of just having a quick tongue? The Grant Clan is a wealthy clan after all. How can there be more than one young man in the clan? Why don't they swagger in Babylon, as if they couldn't wait to tell others their identity and status? Diego is the only one. "
Lucy said hatefully, "A guy like him who only knows how to move his mouth wants to be slaughtered countless times over. From the royal family to the commoners. If you have strength, what's the use of a false reputation? At most, it's just a nominal position. "
Adahua Star Exhibition has a history of more than ten thousand years. With the Mother Planet as the base, over a hundred habitable planets in the entire Garter Domain were subordinate, and their forces spread throughout the entire Domain. What he relied on was naturally not the effort of his mouth. Adahua Planet's foundation was truly fought out. If it weren't for this atmosphere of judging heroes by strength from commoners to the royal family, how could the royal family have stood for thousands of years without collapsing?
Behind them, countless members of the royal family had rushed to the battlefield one after another, using their blood and death to build the foundation of the royal family.
Therefore, it was understandable that Lucy looked down on Diego.
The two of them walked back to the elevator. Just as the elevator door opened, a figure flashed out and almost collided with Allen. Allen quietly slid back two steps and saw that this was a handsome youth. His light blue head, which was like a blue wave, gently moved. Under his bangs, a pair of wonderful eyes that changed color with the light reflected Allen's astonished expression. The corner of the youth's mouth gradually pulled into a slight upward arc.
Then the two of them said at the same time, "It's you!"
Lucy, who didn't know what was going on, could only stare blankly.
Allen recognized this youth. He was the slave who escaped from Black Street, the Maritan named Edward. Later, with the help of Old Oak, Ward's father, he debuted as a soul singer and officially entered the entertainment industry, achieving good results. However, Allen never thought that he would meet this superstar in the mercenary market who was now worth an unknown amount of money.
However, Edward was dressed in ordinary clothes today, presumably to hide his identity.
Edward stopped smiling. "I've finally found you, Allen. Yes, I finally know your name. It's all thanks to Wilick. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that you had already formed a hunting group. "
"I want to join your team, Allen!"
Castle Ugarte.
At this moment in the afternoon, the ancient castle was quiet as usual. However, Helsing, who was standing quietly outside the study, unconsciously wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief. As time passed, the weather became hotter and hotter, but it was not to the point where people would start sweating. However, the oppressive atmosphere coming from the study made Steward Helsing unable to breathe. It was the invisible pressure emitted by Horn.
In the study, there was a person who was enduring this formless pressure.
Arthur stood with his head bowed and his hands at his sides. He had to try his best to control himself so that he wouldn't roar wildly. The sun was shining outside the study window, but the light in the room was very dim. Horn's back was facing the window, leaving only a silhouette against the light. The shadow was like a black hole, coldly and mercilessly absorbing any light. The longer he stayed, the more Arthur felt that the darkness was expanding.
It will devour the entire study, including himself.
The light suddenly brightened, and Horn slowly withdrew his might. Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. He was still standing, his heart still beating. Although it was jumping much faster than usual because of fear, it was still jumping.
He's still alive.
There was a smile in Arthur's eyes. He had finally taken the first step.
"Do you know what these materials mean?" Horn spoke, his voice seeming to come from an extremely distant place, illusory. However, in an instant, it turned into a gust of wind and filled Arthur's ears.
The youth nodded.
"Arthur, I always knew that you were not a simple child. But when you took this step today, I realized that I had underestimated you by a lot. It's not easy for you to do this, but you have to know that there's no turning back now that you're doing this. I don't know if you've asked yourself before you make this decision. "" Is it worth it? "Horn said in a deep voice.
Arthur raised his head and habitually pushed his glasses. "As long as it's for the family, for Grandpa. Anything I do is worth it! "
"Alright, I hope you will continue to be loyal to the family. Go down, I'll take care of this matter. From this quarter onwards, your family budget will increase by 25%. Do your best. "Horn waved his hand.
Arthur left the room and nodded to Steward Helsing before walking down. As he walked out of the corridor, a figure flashed beside him. The girl who was chewing candy looked at Arthur happily and wanted to say something, but Arthur shook his head. "Let's go, Nana. There's still a lot to do. "
Steward Helsing walked into the study. Horn bit his pipe and said with a distant gaze, "Luo Wei died when she gave birth to Hyderick. Before she left, she told me to take good care of this youngest son." At that time, Hyderick was less than a week old and had already lost his biological mother. Later, I married Mirazen again and gave birth to Lanny. I intend to have no other children. "
"Because I promised Luo Wei to take care of Hyderick for her. I have devoted more effort to him than any of his elder brothers. Perhaps that's why Hyderick is on this path today. "
Steward Helsing lowered his head and said, "Master, you shouldn't have told me this."
"Mr. Helsing, I believe you. After all, there aren't many people in this castle who are as trustworthy as you. "Horn said," Go see where Allen is. I want to see him. "
After Helsing left, Horn flicked a silver bell on the table. A moment later, Blood Scorpion Anna pushed the door open and entered. Horn pushed a portfolio under her eyelids and gestured for her to take a look. Anna poured out the contents of the file. It was a photo and a mini memory. The photo should have been taken secretly, and the angle was mainly from the side and back. Without exception, no matter where the camera was pointing in the photo, there would always be a man in a corner.
Hyderick!
"This is?" Anna raised her head.
"Hyderick leaked Allen's design to Maine. In the storage device, there is a brief video of his meeting with Maine. The evidence is conclusive. "Horn silently bit his pipe.
"Alexander and the Grant Clan have now formed an alliance, so this plan has probably fallen into the Grant Clan's hands. No, it should be on Lawrence's table. "Anna put away the things on the table and said," Master, what do you want me to do? "
"From now on, monitor Hyderick's every move. If … if he betrays the clan again, you can punish him directly. You don't have to agree to it through me. "Horn said.
Anna picked up the things and said, "I understand, Master."
Pushing the door open, Anna looked at the study. The study room was well-lit, but the figure seemed a little blurry. The smoke that curled up not only blurred Horn's face, but also blurred his heart.
Compared to before, Horn's heart was no longer so ruthless. Time would always smooth out some edges and corners, and Horn was no exception. Otherwise, if it was the Horn that Anna was familiar with, even if it was Hyderick. Back then, when Lanny ran away from home, Horn could expel her from the clan in a fit of anger, with Hyderick's betrayal of the clan. If it had been in the past, Horn would have personally taken his life.
How could he give Hyderick another chance like he did now?
In the afternoon, Allen and Lucy returned to the castle. He had already agreed to let Edward join. Although the Maritans had avoided answering their purpose in joining the hunting squad, Edward had wandered between many planets and possessed a strength of around Level 15. In addition, the Maritans had the innate ability to affect the minds of others. Having such a member join would also be a help to the hunting squad.
However, Allen was very curious. With Edward's current popularity in Babylon, his life could be described as carefree. What made him willing to give up his comfortable life and join the dangerous expedition to the Outer Realm?
Perhaps everyone has a secret in their hearts that is not worth mentioning, right?
As soon as he got out of the car, Helsing said, "Young Master Allen, Master is looking for you."
Allen nodded and told Lucy to go back first. Then, he followed Helsing to the study. In the study, Horn said, "I just got the latest news that your design has been leaked. Lawrence has probably already gotten your plan. Don't ask, don't trace the source of the news. The key now is how we can remedy it. "
Allen took a deep look at Horn before saying, "I've been holding back on some key data and the most important fusion matrix. The data on the design plan is just a cover. Because they won't affect the normal data collection, I didn't notify the testers at the factory, but Teacher Hughton knows. "
"As long as the data collection is completed, the components of the magical energy equipment will be delivered. The most critical fusion matrix will be personally completed and installed by me in the castle, so even if the plan is leaked, what they get is at most an idea. "
Horn heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He nodded, "You did a good job of knowing to hold back. That's right, but Allen, you even hid it from Grandpa. Don't you trust me? "
"No, it's just that Grandpa has a lot of eyes and ears around him. I think if even you don't know, then we can guarantee the implementation of the plan. "Allen replied.
Horn smiled and said, "Then you can go down. Remember to be depressed when you get out, so that people can put down the boulder in their hearts, but they can't figure out our true background."
"Yes, Grandpa."
