Toure was speechless. Although the Goliath Clan had been doing well in the past few years, they had successfully settled in Babylon. However, in terms of family background, ten Goliath Clans couldn't catch up to Bescot. If this matter rose to the height of a family grudge, not only would Bescot not be able to obtain any benefits this time, Bescot could even directly go to war with the Goliath Clan regardless of whether Allen was at fault or not.
That was not what he wanted.
At that time, on Frost Star, after the Freelance Hunters were annihilated, Barley fled back and reported the matter to his family superiors. Toure heard that this matter had something to do with Bescot, so he called Barley over and chose today when Allen arrived at the Blood Gate Stronghold. This method was nothing more than a blow to Bescot through this matter. Of course, he knew very well which side was distorting the facts.
Now that Roddy said this, Toure changed the subject and said, "I have no intention of offending Bescot. Mr. Horn is also someone I respect. However, my people can't die in vain. At the very least, Mr. Roddy, you should give me an explanation. "
"Alright, then what kind of explanation do you want me to give you?"
"Leave him to me." Toure pointed at Allen, "The murderer must be severely punished."
"Oh, that's fine. If Allen is really the murderer. But before that, I want to ask, apart from this clown, what other evidence do you have? "
Toure said coldly, "Barley alone is enough. What other evidence do you need?"
"In other words, this clown is the only witness?"
"That's right."
"That's simple." Roddy smiled and waved at Barley, "Come here. I have a few questions I want to ask you."
Barley glanced at Toure, who nodded. The sniper walked over and Roddy opened his mouth and said, "I want to ask, at that time, you …"
"What did you say?"
The second half of Roddy's voice was too low for Barley to hear clearly. So he subconsciously leaned forward and heard Roddy say, "I want to say that all those who speak nonsense deserve to die!"
Barley was shocked and wanted to retreat. Rody had already punched him in the face. Barley clearly heard the sound of his nose breaking, and then the world in his eyes quickly turned red. He turned around and saw Toure in shock and anger. He wanted to say something, but the world suddenly fell into darkness.
Barley fell to the ground with a thud. His eyes were bloodshot, and blood flowed out from his mouth and nose. He had been punched to death by Rody!
Toure was so angry that his entire body trembled, but Roddy lazily shook his fist and said, "Didn't you want me to give you an explanation? Now it is. Is Mr. Toure satisfied? "
Toure finally roared, "Roddy, don't go too far!"
"You're wrong, I'm very reasonable." Rody spat rudely and cursed, "On one side are the core members of my family and on the other side are people from third-rate families. Isn't it obvious which side I should believe? In that case, isn't it normal to execute a scoundrel who dared to frame an important member of our race? Toure, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Over the years, there have been a lot of people who want to trample on Bescot, but in the end, they won't get any benefits. Just look at Maine. "
"Or do you think you're stronger than the Alexandrian Clan?" Roddy sneered, "Use your brain to think about it before you get into trouble. Even if Allen really did that, I won't hand him over. Even if we want to punish him, we have to judge him within our clan, not an outsider like you. Do you understand? Idiot! "
The atmosphere at the scene had become tense. Barry had died, and Toure was furious. The guards surrounding Bescot had already raised their guns, and this time, Toure did not stop them. Roddy looked around coldly and said, "What, are you going to attack us? If that's the case, things will get serious. "
Toure wanted to tear Roddy into pieces, but he knew that this was not the right place. However, he was unwilling to let Allen go just like that. At this moment, someone said indifferently, "What's going on? Who allowed you to use force in the stronghold?"
A group of Federation soldiers squeezed in, separating Goliath from Bescot. Gray and black ponytails streaked across Toure's eyes. Katherine walked in in a general's uniform. The pitch-black cloak was like a black flame, causing Toure's eyelids to twitch. He raised his hand and gestured for the guards to put away their guns. He stepped forward and said, "You came at the right time, General. Bescot killed my men in a vital area. I wonder what the military thinks of this matter? "
Katherine looked at him, the Nether River rising and falling in her eyes, causing Toure to panic a little. She began to say, "The Federation has always been neutral. It has never intervened in the grudges between the nobles. Has Mr. Toure forgotten? I don't care who dies here. What I care about is if anyone dares to use a knife or a gun in front of me. Then I will arrest you for threatening public safety. As for any complaints you have, I think the judges of the military court will be happy to hear them. "
Toure was speechless for a long time, as if he had been stuffed with a few eggs. After a while, he retreated dispiritedly. He knew that he could no longer pursue this matter today, so he could only let someone carry Barry's corpse away. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Katherine suddenly said, "I can testify about Allen. At that time, the things in his hands were not those of a freelance hunter. Speaking of which, I also contributed to being able to obtain that batch of high-density Origin Energy Crystals. Or, Mr. Toure doesn't even believe my words? "
Toure felt as if he had been electrocuted. If even Katherine jumped out to testify for Allen, then even if Allen had really done it, Toure could only endure it. After all, it was not a wise thing to question a major general of the Federation, especially on this battlefield. Now, Toure was glad that Barry had been killed by Roddy. Otherwise, his face would have been even more embarrassed. "Thank you for your testimony, General. It seems that Barry, that bastard, actually wants to frame Mr. Allen," he said.
"Since you said so." Roddy interrupted from behind, "Then shouldn't Mr. Toure give our Allen an explanation?"
Toure greeted Roddy thousands of times in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Of course, it's all my fault for not disciplining him properly. How about this, I'll have someone give Mr. Allen a small gift later as an apology. "
Roddy laughed and said, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of Allen."
Only then did he let him leave. After watching the Goliath family leave dejectedly, Roddy scolded, "It can be considered a realm to be so thick-skinned."
He then looked at Katherine and said, "Thank you, General, for testifying on behalf of our Allen."
"I'm just telling the truth." Katherine stepped forward and said seriously to Allen, "I'm not talking nonsense just now. I did contribute to your batch of goods. When are you going to give me a dividend? "
Allen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If you want it, I can give it to you now."
"Leave it with you for now. Just treat it as my private investment." With that, the major general waved his hand and led the soldiers away.
After Katherine left, Roddy wrapped his arms around Allen's neck and rubbed his head with his big hand. "You're quite capable, kid. I've heard about you and Katherine for a long time. I thought it was spread by a busybody, but I didn't expect it to be true. Do well, Allen, and try to get her. A general's dowry is enough for an ordinary person to struggle for several lifetimes. If she joins Bescot because of this, then your status in the family will skyrocket. "
Lucy, who was beside him, couldn't help but cough dryly. Only then did Roddy let go of Allen. He smiled awkwardly and whispered to Allen, "Of course, if you earn a dowry from an imperial daughter, I think you can even start your own family."
His voice was so loud that even though it had been suppressed to a very low level, the people behind him could still hear it clearly. Lucy blushed and looked embarrassed. Allen shook his head and pushed him, "Uncle Roddy, let's go back first."
"Right, you guys are tired after just arriving. Look at my head." Roddy patted his head and waved his hand. "Get in the car. You guys have a good rest first. Have a good meal tonight and you'll be busy tomorrow. "
Bescot was given a camp the size of half a block. The camp was located in the stronghold. This was an independent area that was not subject to the military jurisdiction of the Federation. It was only subject to administrative management. There were two other independent camps like this. Naturally, the Morsen and Goliath clans each occupied one. Entering from the camp gate was the plaza. In the plaza, the soldiers of the Fierce Vulture were performing various drills.
Behind the plaza were barracks, restaurants, combat rooms, warehouses, garages, and other buildings. The facilities were very complete. Allen's teams were arranged to stay in a six-story dormitory, just in time for each team to get a floor. In the afternoon, Sirio led Allen to the stronghold's military building to register. The building was located in the center of the stronghold and was the tallest building in the stronghold. It was shaped like an "H", and its main body was two twin buildings. From the middle three floors of the twin buildings, each floor was connected by an air corridor. It looked like an open door, and the name of the Blood Gate Stronghold came from this.
The lower three floors of the Military Building were open to the outside world. This was the office where the family army accepted missions, registered military merits, and exchanged supplies. Allen and the others who participated in the free hunting could also register here. Sirio led him to the registration office to report and received new identity tokens for all the members. However, the military had yet to issue a mission, so Allen did not receive a mission for the time being.
On the way back, Sirio took Allen around the stronghold in a car, giving him a preliminary understanding of the Blood Gate Stronghold. However, the stronghold was simply too big. Even with a flying car, it was impossible to see everything in a short time. Even so, it was already sunset when he returned to the family camp.
As soon as he got off the car, Regis shouted from afar, "Hurry up and come over. If you slow down, the food will be eaten up by others."
