"Huh?" Kajali was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became blank. She had completely forgotten that she was engaged to the sissy from the Seran family. When she heard her bodyguard's words, a series of memories suddenly popped up in her mind. She took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Impossible, I will never marry that bastard!"
Right now, Carrie wasn't like the one in SEED-D. She hadn't had her edges smoothed out due to the restrictions she had been subjected to as the leader of SEED-D. Her first reaction was that it was impossible. She would rather die than marry that sissy Yuna. Then, she puffed up her cheeks and clenched her fists, wanting to return to her office.
"Hmph, since Xiao Ran has something to do later, I will reluctantly go back and help him with his work."
The female bodyguard shook her head and smiled. Just as she was about to follow Kajali in, she saw Mary come out. Mary must have heard the conversation between the two. She smiled at Kajali and said, "You don't have to go back. Xiao Ran can finish the work alone. Relax today and go see Kira, Aslan, and Lax."
"Aslan is back?" Kajali said in surprise, "Didn't he say that he had to go back to the plant to deal with some things? He won't be back until at least next week."
Mary smiled and said, "He has finished his work in advance, so he returned to Aube this morning. However, he has to formally prepare for work. Xiao Ran told him to rest well today."
Kajali suddenly realized that her bodyguards were looking at her with funny eyes. She put her hands in front of her and pretended to be serious. She coughed softly and said, "Ahem, well, well, since he is going to be my bodyguard, I have to go and get to know him. Since Xiao Ran said so, I will take my leave."
Mary watched as Kajali got into the car and left under the protection of the bodyguards. She shook her head with a smile and got into another black car. She had to go to Bakirulu's place now. She also had some things to deal with.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ran went to the Seran family's mansion under the protection of a dozen people. Both parties enjoyed a pleasant dinner and had a deep and friendly conversation. After successfully resolving the marriage between Kajali and that sissy Yuna, he left.
When Xiao Ran came out of the Seran family's mansion, he had a smile on his face. However, there was a hint of disdain and coldness in his smile. After Xiao Ran left, the head of the Seran family was unhappy and unwilling. He picked up the phone several times and finally put it down. However, he did not notice that when he picked up the phone, several pairs of eyes were silently staring at him.
The head of the Seran family thought that the people around him were loyal to him, but in fact, many of the bodyguards were not loyal to him at all. They were loyal to Xiao Ran. The cook was arranged by Xiao Ran, and the waiters were also arranged by Xiao Ran. Most of the members of the Seran family were under Xiao Ran's command. They were all Xiao Ran's people. The Serans lived under the watchful eyes of countless people every day. Every little thing would be sent to Xiao Ran's desk without them knowing.
Nobody knew what Lax and Aslan said to Kajali that night. When Kajali showed up at the office the next day, she was full of energy. Although her attitude was still the same, she would listen attentively when Xiao Ran spoke. Xiao Ran nodded his head in satisfaction. Aslan, who had officially become Kajali's bodyguard, could not help but smile.
It was worth mentioning that Flay, the little girl, was currently living under Kira and Lax's roof. Kira and Lax's relationship had been confirmed. Flay's relationship with the two of them was somewhat inexplicable. After going through so many trials and hardships, Flay had matured a lot. She no longer had the temper of a young lady. She got along well with Lax and did not do anything that would make things difficult for Kira or make Lax feel awkward.
As for how Flay managed to escape from Kreutzer's hands onto the Lord Angel, it was more or less the same as in the original storyline. Kreutzer threw Flay into an escape pod and handed over the defense of the ZAFT to Flay. That was why the two nuclear warships of the Earth Army were able to appear at a place where there was no ZAFT to intercept them and attack PLANT. They were even able to easily destroy the Zaft Army's frontline universe fortress.
That was how Flay joined the Dominion Angel. However, when Flay followed Bakirulu's arrangements and came to the Archangel, she saw another Bakirulu on the Archangel. At that time, she immediately threw herself at Bakirulu and burst into tears. This made the Bakirulu feel somewhat baffled. It was only when they figured out the reason that they understood how the other Bakirulu was taking care of Flay. After that, Flay also found out what was going on with the other Bakirulu on the Dominion Angel.
When all the mid-level officers of the Aube Army and above gathered in a huge venue in Aube, they sat quietly in their seats and waited for Xiao Ran to appear. Countless camera stands were set up in front of the stage. Many news media organizations from all over the world had also gathered in this place.
As time passed, Xiao Ran finally appeared in front of everyone. Through the reporters in front of him, the scene was transmitted to every corner of the world.
Other than Kajali, some of the high-ranking officers of Aube and some high-ranking officials of the government also appeared together with Xiao Ran. At this time, they all stood on both sides of Xiao Ran and Kajali.
Xiao Ran's appearance immediately caused a huge round of applause to ring out in the venue. The soldiers of Aube desperately clapped and cheered for their God of War.
Xiao Ran gently raised his hand and the whole venue quieted down again. This was enough to show Xiao Ran's control over Aube's army.
Xiao Ran glanced at the reporters in front of him and then looked at the soldiers of Aube in the venue. He nodded slightly and said slowly in a firm tone, "Today, I called you all here because I have something to say to you. I also have some arrangements. The reason why I called the reporters is that what I'm going to say next is also related to the ordinary people of our country. I also want to convey to the world the belief of Aube."
Just as Xiao Ran opened his mouth to speak, the whole of Aube was quiet. Everyone was staring at the live broadcast of Xiao Ran's speech on the Internet or TV. Even in other parts of the world, many people were paying attention to Xiao Ran's speech at this time.
"It has been some time since the war between Zaft and the Earth Army began. During this time, we humans have suffered huge losses and endless pain. I don't think I need to say more about the reasons. Whether it is right or wrong will be left to the judgment of future generations. Today, the war is finally over, and the world is once again at peace. First of all, I hope that the Earth Army and Zaft can restrain themselves and maintain this hard-won peace. Don't let war sweep the world again.
"We, Aube, have always adhered to a philosophy of peace and neutrality. We have always fought and sacrificed for this strength. We long for peace, but we are not afraid of war. Any country that dares to start a war, any country that dares to attack Aube will be our enemy. In order to protect the peace, to protect the people who believe that Aube can bring peace and settle here, we will bravely attack the enemy even if we have to shed our last drop of blood.
Now that the war is over, we welcome you back to Aube again. Thank you for being willing to return to Aube. With your help, Aube was able to stand up again in the shortest time possible. Now that the reborn Aube has many things to do, it needs the support of people from all walks of life. I believe that under the leadership of Miss Kajali, Aube will definitely be stronger and will make more efforts and struggles for what it has always believed.
"However, my existence has affected PLANT and the Earth Army's view of Aubrey. What I want to say is that Aubrey is definitely not a country that is aggressive to the outside world. We welcome any friends who wish to live in peace and get along well with us. However, perhaps my actions have caused the Earth Army and ZAFT to fear Aubrey. This fear is a mistake for Aubrey's philosophy. This is our problem, so we have to correct it."
"That's why I'm announcing it here!" Xiao Ran paused for a moment, glanced at the officers who had become a little agitated, and said in a deep voice, "I will officially withdraw from the management of Aube. Government affairs, military affairs, and all rights will be returned to the successor of Ashar's representative, Miss Kajali."
"No! General, we need you to continue to lead us! "
"General, you can't leave."
"General!"
"…"
"…"
When Xiao Ran's voice fell, the entire venue suddenly boiled over. The officers sitting below stood up one after another and shouted at Xiao Ran excitedly to persuade him to stay. The older ones closed their eyes and smiled with relief, but at the same time, tears of unknown meaning flowed down their cheeks.
The reporters were also stunned at the same time. They couldn't believe that the most powerful person in Aube would hand over all his rights in such an inexplicable speech.
Through the live broadcast, this news had also spread throughout the country of Aube and all over the world. People in Aube were reluctant, but many people in other places heaved a sigh of relief. For example, Tillandar, who was confirmed to be the next chairman of PLANT, was one of those people who heaved a sigh of relief.
Kajali stared at Xiao Ran beside her, dumbfounded. Even the Aube executives on both sides of the two stared at Xiao Ran. They didn't understand what Xiao Ran was doing, and they didn't understand why he would do this.
When Xiao Ran raised his hand and gestured slightly, the venue fell into silence once again.
"Everyone, please don't try to persuade me to stay. It is my responsibility to return my rights to Miss Kajali. However, my withdrawal doesn't mean that I will leave. I will retain my position as the highest commander of the three armies and live in seclusion in Aube. I will not interfere with the management of the army, government affairs, diplomacy, or any other matters. I will not express any opinions, views, or make any decisions."
"But when Aube is once again forced into a war and is attacked by invaders for any reason, when Aube needs me, when the world is at war again, I will step up and use the rights that the country has given me to lead everyone to protect Aube, protect all the people who believe in Aube, and protect this hard-won peace."
