Garon sat in the car with his eyes closed, his eyebrows furrowed. The informant was sitting in front of him, driving.
"How's the situation?"
"The doctor said it's not a big problem, they just need to rest for a long time." The driver quickly replied.
"Su Lin and Celine aren't weak, how did they come back in such a sorry state? Cynthia, do you have any information? "
Cynthia, who was sitting beside Garon, shook her head.
"We only know that they were involved in the chaos at the border, we can't find out the details. We can only wait for you to ask them face to face. "
"What did Leo say?"
"When Leader Lei found them, they were severely injured and unconscious, we don't know who did it." Cynthia gave a short answer. "Gate Master, should we …"
"There's no rush, Su Lin's father is a general of the Confederation, they won't let this go easily. Inform Leo and ask him to cooperate with the investigation. As long as it's possible to be involved, just do it, don't hesitate. "
"Isn't this too …" Cynthia felt that something was wrong.
"It's fine, it's not a peaceful time now. If we don't act tough, anyone will dare to make a move on our heads. "Garon snorted.
As members of the White Peacock, the three of them secretly set up a cooperation project, which included information sharing and assistance, as well as military support. Not to mention the sharing of information and channels.
The White Cloud Gate could now get more information and military support through the overseas forces of the Sirens. The Celestial Circle Gate could also provide enough support in the military and political circles.
The White Cloud Gate could provide support and operations to the underground forces of the Celestial Circle Gate, as well as information sharing and assistance to the Sirens.
It could be said that the benefits between the three of them were largely tied together.
They took a car directly to the airport, this time Celestial Circle Gate arranged a military plane to wait for them. The military forces here were still more powerful than the Celestial Circle Gate.
They flew directly to Harmony City, by the time they arrived at Su Lin's manor, it was already past nine at night.
*****
In a white bedroom.
Su Lin quietly leaned back on the big blue bed, his lower body covered by the blue quilt. She was wearing white pajamas and her face was pale. His hair, which used to dance like flames in the past, also seemed a little dull.
Aris was wearing a thick black trench coat and black gloves. She was feeding him medicine.
There was a strong smell of medicinal soup in the room, similar to the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
Garon smelled it as soon as he entered the room. He frowned and sat on the edge of the big bed.
"What's the situation? Are you feeling better? "
Su Lin glanced at Garon with a wry smile.
"I lost too much blood. I almost couldn't make it back."
"I told you not to run around, but you didn't listen! Great, now I can't run anywhere. I can only obediently stay on the bed and not move, "Aris complained with extreme dissatisfaction. This was the first time this mischievous and elegant young miss had been so angry.
As she spoke, she shoved the bitter medicine into Su Lin's mouth.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have ignored your advice. Alright, alright, you can go out first. I want to have a good chat with Garon, "Su Lin said helplessly.
"Alright, then you two can have a good chat." Aris stood up and handed the last of the medicine to Su Lin.
The latter understood immediately. He took it and drank it in one gulp. Then he handed the bowl back.
"Is this okay?"
"Hmph!" Aris snorted, turned around and strode out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Only Garon and Su Lin were left in the room.
"Alright, tell me what happened." Garon frowned and looked at Su Lin. "With your and Celine's strength, you shouldn't have been injured like this."
"Don't worry about it. I can handle it." Su Lin didn't want to say more. "It's not about the cards. It's something else. I can handle it myself, "he replied with the same frown. "I was set up this time. The opponent is weaker than me. It's even more unreasonable to ask for your help."
Garon stared at him for a while. Seeing the absolute determination in Su Lin's eyes, he slowly nodded.
"Alright, if you insist. What about Celine? How's her injury? "
"She's much heavier than me. She was buried alive by the avalanche and almost froze to death, "Su Lin said helplessly.
A chill flashed in Garon's eyes. "You're my friends. If anything happens, I hope you can treat me as a friend too."
"Thanks." Su Lin nodded seriously. "I told you, we can handle this ourselves. If we really ask for help, I, Su Lin, can't afford to embarrass myself …"
He was actually very emotional in his heart.
In his circle of friends, there were only two people who could resolutely and decisively say that they would help him take revenge. One of them was Garon.
Just like this time, he and Celine had encountered many dangerous forces at the border. When they mentioned that Garon was his brother, almost everyone looked at them with respect, and many forces immediately changed their attitude. He greeted them properly as if they were VIPs.
Even the rebels at the border were wary of the Southern Sky Holy Fist Gate's Divine General Garon. They didn't dare to offend them.
"Alright, thank you for coming to see me." Su Lin patted Garon's shoulder. "You're not the same as before, Southern Sky Holy Fist Gate's Divine General, oh no, Second Divine General. White Cloud Gate's Gate Master, Southern Twelve Gates' strongest Grandmaster of Combat! Grant's Underground King, Divine Elephant Holy Fist … all kinds of names spread everywhere. Tsk tsk … You're a big shot now. Even the Black Mark Association was taken over by you, and you have three Divine General Grandmasters of Combat under your command. You're practically a cancer … You're a hero! "
Garen was speechless as he looked at his antics.
"Looks like you're really much better now, you even have the mood to joke with me."
"I'm not that heavy to begin with." Su Lin retorted, "It's just …" "Is Su Lin alright?" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was a young man with a calm and steady voice.
Su Lin immediately curled up under the blanket.
"My brother is here!" He said softly. "I just woke up." He quickly replied loudly.
Kachak. The door was pushed open. A tall man in a black trench coat walked in.
He had short red hair like Su Lin, but even his eyebrows were red. His eyes were sharp and cold like an eagle's, giving off a strong sense of oppression just by looking at him.
The man wore black leather gloves with golden patterns on his sleeves.
Garon knew him. This man was called Heris, Su Lin's biological brother. He was a high-ranking official in the government, and was recently promoted to a high-ranking official.
Garon's impression of him was only limited to the time when Assassin Luo came to assassinate him.
At that time, Assassin Luo sent out a former Royal General to assassinate this person. The assassination was left unsettled, obviously a failure. This showed that this person was not simple.
"Did a friend come to see you?" Heris nodded slightly at Garon who stood up, and a faint official's aura naturally spread out. "Hello." He extended his hand.
Garen reached out and shook his hand.
"Hello. I'm Garon. "
"Garon?" Heris was slightly surprised. He felt that this name was familiar. But as his brother's friend, he just nodded slightly.
"Then I'll take my leave." Garon nodded politely. "Su Lin, rest well." He turned and walked towards the door.
Su Lin lay on the bed, feeling that his last sentence had a hidden meaning.
"Garon!" He suddenly called out to Garon. "Really, don't interfere. I'll handle this myself."
Garon was silent for a moment, then showed a speechless smile.
"Okay, I'll let it go this time. I'll go see Celine. "
"Okay."
Heris listened to the two's conversation strangely. It seemed that this Garon was very powerful. He was surprised that his brother's circle of friends had someone who could interfere with the disputes of the border forces.
"Okay brother, Garon is my friend, a friend who has gone through life and death together. He's not in the same circle as you. " Su Lin saw that Heris had started to think, and immediately knew that his brother had habitually started to analyze complicated things like relationships, background, and social interactions.
Everything else about his brother Heris was good, but this was troublesome. Everything would be related to conspiracy theories. Everything seemed to be a conspiracy. It made him more and more gloomy, and he didn't even know if he could find his sister-in-law to marry. Now those girls were afraid when they saw him, and when he put on a straight face, they would be scared to tears.
"Su Lin, you don't understand. Our family's power is complicated, and our background is deep. We don't want to complicate things, and even if we're harmed, we have to help them count their money. Sometimes, there are too many people who want to take advantage of our power. "Heris said lightly.
"He's not even in the same system as us! Okay okay, brother, let's not talk about this. To be honest, he's pursuing different things from us. Now that the Federation's situation is so bad, if Garon wants to, he might even be able to set up a separatist regime. Our family is thousands of kilometers away from him, and we have nothing to do with each other! "Su Lin was speechless. "He's the kind of top figure that you politicians are most afraid of. If you're really targeted by him, without a few hundred special forces to increase the firepower, you can forget about sleeping peacefully. "
Heris smiled, and only took it that he was bragging. However, this really had nothing to do with him. Su Lin had his father by his side, and with his father's experience, there shouldn't be any problems.
*****
Garen walked out of Su Lin's room, turned the corner and walked towards another room not far away.
The door opened, and a female nurse in white walked out with a basin of medicine.
"Is this Miss Celine's room?"
"Yes. You must be Mr. Garon, right? Miss Aris said that you can go in directly now. "
"Thank you."
Garon walked in through the opened door. Inside, there was a bright white light.
On the ceiling, on the walls, there were white glass oil lamps everywhere. These lamps were coated with a layer of white paste, and the light from the oil lamps was dyed white from the inside, and when it spilled out, it became pure white light.
Celine was lying on the big bed in the middle, just like Su Lin, half leaning against the headboard. Her face was haggard, her eyes were lifeless, and her skin was pale and bloodless.
"You're pretty fast." Celine squeezed out a smile. "This time, it's all thanks to you. If he didn't know that we're your friends, I'm afraid we wouldn't have made it back alive."
