If the two of them weren't sure if Xiao Ran had returned, the illogical actions of A-Laws confirmed their suspicions.
The establishment of A-Laws was due to the fact that the three countries were powerless against the Celestials. After the three countries formed the Earth Federation, A-Laws established a powerful military force specifically to fight against the Celestials. It was an independent force with a super high level and super high configuration. It had the right to command local garrisons and the right to act independently without reporting.
A-Laws had a huge amount of authority and independence that other forces couldn't compare to. It had its own logistics organization, source of funds, independent research institute, independent logistics department, and independent soldier channel. It could even transfer any soldier of the Federation to join the force.
Back then, as the first commanding officer of this force, Xiao Ran was greatly valued by the Federation. Xiao Ran didn't disappoint those who valued him. He successfully led this force to eliminate the threat the Celestials posed to the Federation and stabilized the Earth's environment, making the Federation a truly dominant force. Back then, Xiao Ran had contributed so much to the Federation, yet he chose to retire. This was completely incomprehensible to many people back then. With Xiao Ran's position at that time, his contributions, and the uniqueness of A-Laws, it wouldn't take long for him to become the true military leader of the Federation.
But even under such circumstances, Xiao Ran still handed over all his authority and chose to leave. Whether it was to rest, to recover from the psychological trauma after the war, or to retire at the last moment, the Federation didn't forget Xiao Ran's contributions. And for some reason, this reason was especially directed at Livonz, the real controller of A-Laws and the Federation. So even though Xiao Ran had disappeared for several years, his nominal identity as the supreme commander of A-Laws did not change at all.
Even though the deputy commander named Goodman had taken control of the entire A-Laws and made more contributions according to the idea of the controller behind the scenes, Goodman had never become the real commanding officer of this force. From this point of view, Xiao Ran's significance to A-Laws was very special, but more people hoped that Xiao Ran would disappear forever.
But in A-Laws, there were also backups arranged by Xiao Ran, people who couldn't stand the current behavior of A-Laws but couldn't do anything about it. Although these people also did a lot of things in A-Laws that were beneficial to the Federation and the world, they had been waiting for Xiao Ran's return, waiting for Xiao Ran to truly lead A-Laws back on the right path.
A-Laws was originally established to deal with the Celestials, but as time passed, this force evolved into an independent law and order maintenance force of the Earth Federation. Not only was its size not restricted, but it gradually expanded with the support of Livonz. On the surface, A-Laws' activities were for world peace and unification, but in fact, they were using high-pressure policies to suppress the anti-Earth Federation forces. They did things like killing innocent people and using self-propelled weapons to massacre people who had no ability to resist. They also had the most advanced armed forces.
In the previous mission, due to the interference of many participants, the Gundam was no longer a weapon exclusive to the Celestials. In addition, with the GN-X technology provided by Livonz, the standard airframe of A-Laws now basically used the PS Armor, and the new GN-T Sun model was mass-produced.
Due to mass production, it was very common for the military to use a certain model of airframe for easy repair, maintenance, and replenishment. After many tests, the Solar Furnace Evolution Machine, which was based on the most versatile airframe of the Assault Gundam, became the most suitable choice. Of course, the current mass-produced Assault Gundam was very different from the original version. It was almost impossible to tell that it was the original Assault Gundam. With the Solar Furnace Evolution Machine, the Assault Gundam's versatility in the military had broken through the sky. It could be said that A-Laws' current strength had far exceeded that of the original Assault Gundam.
Speaking of which, the reason why A-Laws ended up like this had a little to do with Xiao Ran. It had a lot to do with the members of the Burning Legion. It was the quartet of Aesop who brought out the information about the Assault Gundam they obtained from the SEED world, which gave the Federation something they shouldn't have. It was the quartet of Aesop who gave the Burning Legion and Xiao Ran a chance to increase the difficulty of the mission.
In short, after the nature of A-LAWS changed from a Celestial Response Force to an independent security force, in order to maintain the balance of this force, Kati Manikin and Sergei Smirnov, the two former commanders of AEU and the Revolutionary Federation, were not removed from the team at all even when they expressed some clear dissatisfaction with Goodman, the deputy commander, on many occasions, they were only slightly restricted in terms of power.
Under such circumstances, although Kati and Sergei obeyed the orders of A-Laws, they didn't actually follow them. After Xiao Ran left for about half a year, they had never really gathered together and rarely met Goodman in person. But this time, these people actually started to move towards the same place. There was no other reason other than to welcome Xiao Ran.
In addition to these people who opposed Goodman starting to bring their subordinates to the town where Xiao Ran was, Goodman himself also rushed there personally with more people. It was the first time in recent years that all the commanders of A-Laws were heading towards the same place. This situation basically confirmed the fact that Xiao Ran had returned.
Among these people, there were those who hoped that Xiao Ran would become the commander of A-Lwas again, but there were also those who wanted Xiao Ran to disappear completely. Whichever side arrived first would decide Xiao Ran's fate. But no matter what, some of the people who had already arrived at the town had already cleaned up the town and completely surrounded Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran seemed to be a turtle in a jar, completely confined to the town. The originally lively town had also become deserted because of Xiao Ran. There was not a single person walking on the streets. They were either chased out of the town or confined to different places.
But whether it was Goodman, Kati, Sergei, the Celestials or A-Laws, many people dared to come to Xiao Ran. But before they arrived, someone else had already arrived at the town. Wearing a loose white shirt embellished with green, he gently knocked on the door of Xiao Ran's room.
When the door opened, Xiao Ran saw a young man with green hair, but in fact, he was an old man who wouldn't die. Xiao Ran didn't expect this old man to be willing to take the risk and appear in front of him when he wasn't sure if Xiao Ran would harm him.
After all, even though Livonz had kept his promise with Xiao Ran in the past four years and didn't attack the Celestials, he didn't really change the world according to Aeolia's plan. Instead, he only shrouded the world in darkness. In this case, the agreement with Xiao Ran back then wasn't up to standard. Under such circumstances, even if Xiao Ran chose to punish Livonz, it wouldn't be considered breaking the promise.
The slight surprise in Xiao Ran's eyes didn't escape Livonz's eyes. Livonz placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Xiao Ran, "Long time no see, Mr. Xiao Ran. Welcome back."
Livonz's welcome seemed to be welcoming Xiao Ran's return to Earth, but it also seemed to be welcoming Xiao Ran's return to the world after ending his hidden life. Perhaps it was welcoming Xiao Ran's return to A-Laws. But no matter what, he seemed to be expressing that he wasn't hostile to Xiao Ran at all.
"Come in." Xiao Ran stepped aside slightly to let Livonz into the room. At this time, Xiao Ran knew from El Erf that the entire town was almost wiped out, so he wasn't surprised that someone would come looking for him. He was surprised that Livonz would come in person.
Since the room was rented temporarily, it was very simple. After Livonz entered the room, he stopped in the middle. After Xiao Ran closed the door and returned to the room, Livonz said, "Mr. Xiao Ran, you seem surprised to see me."
"A little." Xiao Ran didn't deny his surprise when he saw Livonz. He gestured for Livonz to sit down and said, "I'm not surprised that someone came looking for me. Whether it's the Celestials or your intelligence network, I know very well that as long as I show myself, you will be able to find me. Besides, I made such a big commotion when I landed on Earth. It's normal for you to get the news immediately."
"What really surprised me is that you actually came looking for me personally." After asking Livonz to sit down, Xiao Ran casually found a seat and sat down. He looked at Livonz with a meaningful look and said, "From our previous interactions, I don't think you're a person who would take risks easily. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you here?"
"Of course I'm afraid. With your ability and skills, I don't think I'm a match for you." Livonz smiled and placed his hands on his knees. He said with a calm smile, "But I think I'm still useful to you, so I don't think you'll want to kill me."
After hearing Livonz's words, Xiao Ran fell silent. Even if Xiao Ran returned to the Celestials, he still wouldn't be able to kill the final boss, Livonz. Even if Livonz was sitting in front of Xiao Ran unprepared, it would still be the same. He wasn't worried about whether he could escape safely after killing Livonz. Even if he could, there would still be a certain degree of danger. Besides, if Wang Liumei really connected with Livonz, then Livonz would be the only trump card in front of Xiao Ran.
Besides, if people like Tiyelia and Livonz were killed before they disconnected from the VEDA, who knew if their spirit and consciousness would enter the VEDA. Even if Xiao Ran killed Livonz, would the person in front of him really be Livonz? What if he was just a puppet controlled by Livonz's consciousness? Although the probability was small, it wasn't impossible. After all, these artificial mutants couldn't be treated with common sense.
Xiao Ran remained silent while Livonz continued, "It has been four years since I last met you. Back then, you left a deep impression on me and I was afraid of you. Therefore, we made a deal. You would disappear for four years to ensure that the Celestials wouldn't affect Aeolia's future plans. In return, I will not attack the Celestials and will support all your actions. Now that the time has come, I wonder what are your views on the current state of the world? Are you satisfied with the current state of the world?" Livonz nodded and continued, "Are you satisfied with the current situation?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Livonz and said, "Satisfied? Let's not talk about whether your method is correct or not. I don't have any opinion on the fact that the mutants are superior to the humans and have a ruling position. However, the opposition from the forces and countries that haven't been incorporated into the Federation has been increasing. There are so-called terrorist attacks everywhere, and the world still hasn't been unified after four years. Given the current situation, it's fine if the world isn't in turmoil. Once there's a violent earthquake, how are you going to carry out the dialogue? You should know that the dialogue can lead to peace, but it can also lead to war. "
Livonz's expression didn't change at all after hearing Xiao Ran's words. He smiled and said, "The problems we are facing now are temporary and deliberate. I've been waiting for you, Arikos, to reappear. Then, I'll personally witness the unification of the world with you, the purest mutant. I believe that day will come soon because we have already prepared everything for it."
"Using satellite weapons to completely destroy the opposing forces and countries?" Xiao Ran asked. Livonz nodded leisurely, but Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Once you do that, the Celestials will inevitably appear again and become your biggest stumbling block. The entire world will be afraid of such a cruel action. Sooner or later, the fear and fear will erupt. I don't think your method will work."
Livonz spread his hands and said, "The world only needs to be unified. During this process, we can allow some sacrifices to get rid of those unsuitable people who only know how to nibble away at the earth's resources. Only then can the world develop better."
