"Ah!"
Chris, who couldn't bear the pain from his left leg being shot, screamed again.
But this time, his scream only lasted for a short second before he forcibly suppressed it.
He had no choice but to suppress it because Rogge had already turned the muzzle of the blaster and aimed it at his head.
Although the pain from his legs was unbearable, Chris knew which one he should choose between death and the other.
"Mr. Rogge, you..."
The commander didn't expect that his humble begging for mercy would result in Rogge shooting even more decisively.
Looking at Chris, who was trying his best to endure the pain, the commander originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He signaled the guards beside him to put down their weapons and retreat a distance.
Rogge didn't want to continue shooting Chris, at least not until he figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
However, the commander's words, "He's still a child", completely angered him.
Although he didn't know how long the average lifespan of Xandar's people was, Chris, who was under his foot, didn't look like a child at all.
Rogge didn't forget that Chris was once a civil official of the diplomatic mission, someone who was sent to the Kerry Empire.
And taking a step back, even if Chris was indeed a child by Xandar's standards, this definitely wouldn't be a reason for him to let Chris go.
Admit your mistakes, this was a principle that even five or six-year-old children on Earth knew.
The people that Rogge despised the most were those who used age as an excuse after making a mistake.
In his opinion, whether it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old underage kid or an old man in his seventies or eighties, as long as they did something wrong, they had to be responsible for their own actions.
Respecting the old and loving the young was one thing, but being responsible for one's own actions was another.
It was because he had seen too many bullshit things like "he's just a child", "he's already old", and "he's an old man" that he firmly believed that everyone had to be responsible for their own actions.
"From the looks of it, you should also know the ins and outs of this matter. Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
After barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Rogge said coldly to the commander.
"No problem. As long as it's something Mr. Rogge wants to know, I'll tell you everything I know."
After hearing Rogge's question, the commander was finally relieved.
Although Rogge still looks angry, at least he won't shoot Chris now.
As long as Rogge didn't shoot Chris, as long as Chris didn't die in front of him in the headquarters building, he could compromise on anything.
"Well, Mr. Rogge, I wonder if you can let us stop Chris's bleeding first?
"If he continues to bleed like this, I'm afraid that he will die from excessive blood loss before he can give you a satisfactory compensation."
The commander asked in a low voice again. He didn't look like a soldier at all. Instead, he looked more like a person who manipulated power all day long.
More than ten minutes later, in the living room next to the command center, Rogge sat on the sofa with a calm face.
Opposite him was the commander of the building's guards, and Chris, who had his wounds bandaged.
"Tell me, tell me everything you know!"
In the next few minutes, the commander spilled everything he knew without holding back.
Including Chris's plan, the arrangement of Chris's father, how Chris found him, and some of the promises and benefits Chris gave him.
In order not to let things continue to develop in a worse direction, the commander did not dare to hide the slightest bit of the truth. He told the whole story in full detail.
After the commander finished speaking, Rogge turned to look at Chris, who was silent, and his face became colder and colder.
Just as he expected, Chris only wanted to use his father's power to retaliate a little, so that he couldn't get the reward he deserved so easily.
But when he learned about the details of Rogge's reward, he had some thoughts that he shouldn't have and told his father, the chairman of the military council, about the list of rewards.
Then, his plan changed from the initial revenge to the invasion of Rogge's reward.
In order to successfully obtain the equipment that originally belonged to Rogge, they deliberately set the location of the operation at the headquarters building.
As long as they could successfully kill Rogge in the headquarters building, they could conclude that Rogge took credit for himself and caused a ruckus in the headquarters building and killed related staff members.
Although this didn't seem to be in line with Rogge's character, at that time, he would be dead, and no one would go against the chairman of the military council.
When Rogge was still alive, perhaps someone would be willing to fight for justice for him.
But if he was dead, then naturally no one would be willing to stand up for a dead person.
Especially since this was a dead person from another planet.
So as long as Rogge was dead, it didn't matter if other people believed it or not, it wouldn't affect Chris's plan.
And the equipment that originally belonged to him would naturally return to the new star corps, and the military council would make reasonable arrangements.
All in all, Chris's plan was feasible and had a chance of success.
But the crux of the problem was that they had completely underestimated Rogge's strength.
In their plan, Luo Ge, who had defeated Luo Nan, the Accuser, twice, was at most an existence stronger than the Centurion.
After all, a centurion was the strongest individual in the new star corps, and the possibility of Rogge being stronger than a centurion by several levels was instinctively ignored by them from the beginning.
The new star corps was indeed very strong, but what they pursued wasn't the strength of an individual, but the strength of the corps as a whole.
So this possibility that was ignored from the beginning became the most fatal weakness in their plan.
"So that's how it is. No wonder when I first saw you three days ago in the guild hall, I felt that you had an innate arrogance. I didn't expect you to come from a powerful family."
After listening to Chris's explanation, Rogge said with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Rogge's face, Chris and the commander finally put down the big stone in their hearts and completely breathed a sigh of relief.
Their surrender finally gave them the opportunity to peacefully resolve this matter.
Chris didn't need to worry about his own safety, and the commander didn't need to worry about Chris dying in the headquarters building. Everything was starting to develop in a good direction.
However, just when Chris and the commander felt that Rogge had the idea of resolving the matter peacefully, Rogge suddenly picked up the blaster on the table, pointed the muzzle directly at Chris's head, and decisively pulled the trigger.
Xiu!
The green blaster bullet pierced through Chris's head without any suspense, completely taking away his life. The bright red blood that spurted out immediately dyed the clean table red.
"Your answer is very detailed, but I'm not satisfied."
Rogge put down the blaster in his hand, picked up the white napkin beside the table, and unhurriedly wiped his right hand that was splashed with Chris's blood.
"Inform his father, the chairman, that I'm waiting for him here!"
