Even though the huge starship that belonged to the military slowed down, it still drove out of X City in a few minutes. The villa that Duan Hengye just provided wasn't far from the city. After driving for a while, the starship arrived at a large parking area nearby. This parking area was shared by several large residential areas nearby. At this time, it was densely packed with starships and hovercrafts.
With them as a reference, when the starship landed, it looked back. As a person who hadn't seen too many ordinary civilian transportation vehicles, Duan Hengye finally had a more intuitive understanding of the appearance of his daily transportation vehicle …
This time, because there wasn't a suitable place to dock the starship in the villa area, the huge starship landed on this parking area in advance. Immediately after, Duan Hengye and the others took the hovercraft that was waiting here in advance and headed to their destination.
Duan Hengxing's residence was a famous luxury villa area on this planet, or even in the entire empire. Even though Duan Hengye had never been here before, he had heard about the legends and descriptions of this place long ago. It was said that the residents of this villa area were mysterious interstellar rich merchants or mysterious nobles. The degree of luxury inside the villa area was rumored to be second only to the palace in the entire Yetian Empire.
Duan Hengye didn't think much of these legends before, but now, as the hovercraft gradually approached the villa area, Professor Duan finally realized that maybe the rumors in the interstellar weren't exaggerated.
This villa area was built by the sea, and the architectural style was very similar to a medieval European manor from Earth. Even though the building area wasn't too big, and there was a lot of green space, this kind of spacing was even more rare.
Even though there were many habitable planets in the Yetian Empire, the population was also "exploding". In this era, except for some planets with special purposes, ordinary habitable planets had mandatory green space requirements. Under this premise, the living space of ordinary people was once again squeezed out. Even though skyscrapers now easily had hundreds of floors, the living space of ordinary people was still smaller than on Earth. In this context, the appearance of a villa was already an extremely luxurious reflection, let alone one that was close to the sea with a large green area and a beach.
The female lead, Shang Mengzhen, was still in a bad mood. Perhaps she still hadn't recovered from the shock, but she didn't speak much during the journey. However, as the hovercraft gradually approached the beach, Shang Mengzhen's attention involuntarily shifted from elsewhere to outside the window.
After seeing the endless blue sea, even Shang Mengzhen who had seen countless beautiful sceneries couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration.
Although Duan Hengye had never been to this place before and their relationship was very vague, he still knew the exact coordinates of his younger brother. After entering the villa area, the floating device slowed down and flew towards the central area. Seeing this, Shang Mengzhen who was looking outside the window suddenly said to herself, "This is the core area of the entire villa area …" There was a bit of emotion and admiration in her words.
As a movie queen, Shang Mengzhen was one of the people close to the top of the interstellar income chain. In her memory, she had heard rumors about this villa area at countless banquets. At the banquets, there would often be rich businessmen talking about who the owner of this villa area was. In short, no matter the process of the discussion, the final conclusion was that the owner was definitely not only rich, but more importantly, had a place in the upper class of the Empire.
Shang Mengzhen didn't expect that the answer to this gossip would fall into her hands. Although she was a bit surprised, the answer seemed to be reasonable. Duan Hengye's younger brother was also adopted by the Empress family. Duan Hengxing who grew up under the eyes of the royal family was indeed in line with everyone's previous guesses.
But at this time, after hearing Shang Mengzhen's words, Duan Hengye suddenly thought of something. The money to buy this villa, was it Duan Hengxing who got it from the original owner? The answer didn't seem to require much guessing.
Although Duan Hengye wasn't a person who was good at investment and management, he also had his own principles when it came to spending money. Duan Hengye felt that the last time he bought the clone antidote was a necessary expense. Although the money for Duan Hengxing to buy the villa was far less expensive than the antidote, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel distressed.
At this time, suddenly two gray hovercrafts flew quickly toward them from not far away. After seeing this scene, the military security personnel who were in the same hovercraft as Duan Hengye immediately became serious. Then they slowly moved to the front of Duan Hengye.
After seeing the movements of the staff around him, Duan Hengye didn't speak, but directly stepped forward and gently gestured to him to step back.
"Professor Duan … this?" The person who spoke was the main security person sent by the military to Duan Hengye's side. Although he also knew the strength of Professor Duan, after seeing Duan Hengye's current movements, the person in charge couldn't help but feel nervous.
Duan Hengye shook his head and said, "It's okay, wait for a while."
The military sent a large number of security personnel to Duan Hengye's side. Because they usually hid in a huge starship, they might not be able to see the number of security personnel, but at this time, they could see that behind Duan Hengye, there were three other medium-sized hovercrafts.
The location of Duan Hengye's group was now in a famous luxurious villa area on the planet. The people who lived here were either rich or powerful. Logically speaking, this place should be a no-fly zone for hovercrafts. However, Duan Hengye had the highest authority in the military, and this planet was a marshal's planet. Therefore, after flying here, the four hovercrafts directly ignored the restrictions of the no-fly zone and continued to fly in without stopping. Seeing this scene, the security personnel in the residential area were naturally nervous.
Sure enough, after the hovercrafts stopped, the other side sent a signal to them to land. Now that the hovercrafts had flown into the villa area, all of the open space nearby belonged to the residents. If they wanted to land, the hovercrafts had to leave the area.
Almost at the same time as receiving the signal, the staff around Duan Hengye directly rejected the request from the other side.
After a few seconds, the hovercrafts on the other side began to slowly approach Duan Hengye. When Duan Hengye saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown. Right now, there were a bunch of mechas floating in the air. Other than the one that was approaching him, the others were all motionless. It was like they were in a standoff — or maybe they were in a standoff.
In the face of such a scene, Duan Hangye, who had personally experienced two attacks, did not feel much. The staff who walked down from the battlefield beside him also had a calm expression on their faces.
The only person who wasn't so calm … was probably Shang Mengzhen, who was standing next to Duan Hengye with a frightened face. Out of human instinct, after seeing this scene, Shang Mengzhen silently moved closer to Duan Hengye, who he was most familiar with. After seeing Shang Mengzhen's actions, Ye Pu, who had been standing on the other side without saying anything, silently clenched his hands into fists. Then he put them to his mouth and coughed twice.
"Ahem …" His coughs were a bit artificial.
Even though he was afraid of this scene, Shang Mengzhen was still from the entertainment industry after all. After seeing Ye Pu's actions, Shang Mengzhen immediately understood what the other party meant. Then he silently returned to his original position.
Duan Hengye witnessed Shang Mengzhen and Ye Pu's actions the whole time, but he didn't understand what the two were doing.
Not long after Shang Mengzhen returned to his position, the side of the gray hovercraft facing Duan Hengye's group suddenly cracked open. This action … was very familiar to the security personnel behind Duan Hengye.
After the crack appeared, several silver laser guns stretched out from below and directly aimed at Duan Hengye's hovercraft.
Once again, they sent a landing request.
After seeing this scene, Duan Hengye slowly turned around and asked the military personnel, "Those facing us, are they the security personnel sent here by the military?"
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, a lot of cold sweat suddenly appeared on the personnel's forehead. He slowly shook his head at Duan Hengye and said, "No … They're not from the military."
"Mhmm." Duan Hengye turned around again. He looked at the hovercraft again and asked, "Then does Planet X allow private use of laser weapons?"
Duan Hengye didn't need to answer his question. Every citizen of the Empire knew how serious it was to privately carry laser weapons. Not to mention, just the fact that someone brought laser weapons into Amro University and then suddenly attacked Duan Hengye was enough to alert everyone.
Seeing that no one answered, Duan Hengye didn't ask anymore. He walked to the side of the starship and quickly tapped on the screen there a few times. Duan Hangye's movements were very skilled, and when he was doing this set of movements, the expression on his face was unbelievably calm.
However, the moment Duan Hengye tapped on the screen, everyone on the hovercraft saw … a bunch of laser weapons appear on the side of the hovercraft they were on.
The military personnel who spoke to Duan Hengye couldn't help but gulp. Then, he stared at Duan Hengye with wide eyes.
… How is Professor Duan so skilled at adjusting laser weapons?
From the outside, the hovercraft they were on right now was no different from a normal hovercraft. If it was placed in the galactic public hovercraft docking bay, no one would suspect anything. On such an ordinary-looking floating device, if one wanted to test out the weapon, they would need to master a series of complex passwords.
After the staff calmed down, even though they weren't surprised that Duan Hengye knew how to operate the laser weapons, they were still shocked by Duan Hengye's speed.
Maybe the reaction of the staff on Duan Hengye's hovercraft wasn't that big, but when the laser weapons appeared, the hands of the people on the opposite hovercraft began to tremble.
When they saw this hovercraft earlier, they thought it was an intruder who broke into the security system. But now, those top-notch interstellar laser weapons that were flashing at them clearly told them — the hover device opposite them had something to do with the military.
The hovercraft on the opposite side slowly retracted its laser weapons. Then, it sent a video signal to Duan Hengye's hovercraft.
After seeing this signal, Duan Hengye looked sideways at the staff member, and the staff member immediately understood what he meant.
Duan Hengye's hovercraft didn't connect to the video signal. Instead, it directly displayed its first-level authorization.
There weren't many people who had first-level authorization from the military, and the news that just happened on Planet X a few minutes ago could only point to one person.
Duan Hengye.
After seeing this authorization, the hovercraft on the opposite side paused for a few seconds. Then, it began to descend at its fastest speed. After seeing their movements, Duan Hengye wasn't in a hurry to immediately rush to the destination. He said to the staff member, "Follow them and find out where the laser weapons came from."
"Yes, Professor Duan." After hearing Duan Hangye's words, the staff member in charge of security who had been following him all this time actually reflexively saluted the other party. He finally realized that the person who spoke to him wasn't General Meng Jinhuai, but Duan Hengye.
When the staff member thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It was unknown when, but Duan Hangye and Meng Jinhuai's temperament, as well as the feeling they gave people, had actually become so similar …
After hearing Duan Hengye's order, the other hovercraft that belonged to the military directly followed him down. After it disappeared from their sight, they, who had been standing in place for a long time, once again approached their destination. The hovercraft was originally located very close to Duan Hengye's residence, so after a while, they directly landed on the beach in front of the white seaside mansion.
After the hover came to a stop, the hatch slowly opened. After seeing this, several security guards walked out first. Duan Hengye and Shang Mengzhen were the last to step out of the hatch.
In the technologically advanced interstellar era, the more luxurious a residence was, the more similar it was to a residence on Earth. After standing in front of Duan Hengye's residence, Duan Hengye had the illusion that he had returned to his original world.
"Professor Duan …" Seeing Duan Hengye standing there without moving, a military staff member walked up and asked, "Do you need us to force the door open now?"
The staff member's words pulled Duan Hengye's thoughts back. After hearing this, Duan Hengye shook his head and said, "No, no need. You guys wait here with Shang Mengzhen, I'll go alone. "
"Um … Professor Duan, don't worry, we'll send someone to follow Shang Mengzhen. But it's still too dangerous for you to go in alone. "After hearing Duan Hangye's words, Ye Pu, who had not spoken for a while, came forward and said.
Although Ye Pu now knew who did the defamation of Shang Mengzhen, he also understood that Shang Mengzhen was just an innocent victim in this storm. It didn't matter if Shang Mengzhen went in or not, or if Duan Hengxing saw him. At this point, the focus was back on Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing.
But no matter what, it was extremely dangerous for Duan Hengye to go in alone.
After hearing Ye Pu's words, Duan Hengye shook his head and said, "No need, I can handle it."
After saying this, Duan Hangye directly raised his hand and revealed a small laser defensive weapon that had been hidden in his sleeve the entire time. After seeing this, Ye Pu was stunned. Even though Ye Pu's current identity was "Duan Hengye's assistant", he actually came from the military. As a military staff member, Ye Pu's basic skill was to recognize all of the weapons in use in the galaxy.
He searched his brain, but he couldn't find any memory of seeing Duan Hengye carrying this weapon. But even so, based on the appearance of that thing, Ye Pu was still able to recognize its use … It seemed that this small laser weapon that he had never seen before should have come from Duan Hengye.
"…" Ye Pu finally had a new understanding of Duan Hengye's versatility.
Actually, this weapon wasn't Duan Hengye's original creation. Ever since those two incidents, Duan Hengye deeply felt the importance of carrying a weapon at all times. Because the commonly seen laser weapons in the galaxy were too large, Duan Hengye didn't choose to use them. Instead, he used his memory from his previous life to design a small laser weapon based on hidden weapons like hidden arrows.
Designing something like this was easy for Duan Hengye. Relying on the top equipment of the Yeti Empire Mecha Research Institute, Duan Hengye received the finished product a few hours after the design was completed.
Seeing that Duan Hengye insisted on going in alone, Ye Pu and the other military staff members couldn't stop him. They retreated back into the hovercraft and moved a little further away.
After everyone left, Duan Hengye slowly lowered his head. He looked at the weapon hidden in his sleeve and suddenly sighed softly.
As a person who was used to planning ahead, Duan Hengye didn't think too much when he designed this weapon. So it was only at this moment, after everyone had left, that Duan Hangye finally realized that the first enemy he was about to face with this weapon he had personally designed might be the person closest to him in this world by blood.
Even though he didn't have any memories of his childhood with Duan Hengye, when he thought of this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but recall his family from his previous life. He didn't know why, but he felt a little sour in his heart.
However, Duan Hengye didn't hesitate for long. He stood at the door for a while, then avoided the door's sensor area and walked to a small screen diagonally in front of him. Duan Hengye placed his hand on the screen. After a while, the wooden door in front of him slowly opened by itself.
The owner of this villa didn't ask who the visitor was and directly opened the door.
This villa built by the sea had good lighting. After the door opened, large beams of sunlight shone through the long corridor and shone in front of Duan Hengye. Duan Hengye paused at the door for a while, then finally stepped in. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, the heavy wooden door behind him slowly closed by itself.
After entering the door, Duan Hengye discovered that just like the rumors in the Galaxy, Duan Hengxing's residence was indeed extremely luxurious. In addition to the picturesque scenery outside the window, there were various kinds of antiques placed in every corner. Although Duan Hengye didn't know much about antiques, he could vaguely guess the value of the antiques from their exquisite shapes.
Because the room was too quiet, Duan Hengye's footsteps were infinitely amplified. Slowly, he walked through the corridor, then what appeared in front of him was a huge living room. Behind it, there were three transparent floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea.
The sea was always noisy, but the sound insulation of the Galaxy era completely isolated the sound of the waves crashing against the reef outside the house.
Duan Hengye's gaze swept around the living room, then he saw Duan Hengxing sitting on the sofa with his back facing him.
He had clearly walked into the living room, but Duan Hengxing still didn't have any intention of turning around. Duan Hengye hesitated for a while, then continued to walk forward. When he stood diagonally in front of Duan Hengxing. Duan Hengye finally shifted his gaze from the wine glass in his hand to Duan Hengye.
Although Duan Hengxing had a hedonistic temperament, after all, he and Duan Hengye had the same father and mother, so their facial features were undeniable. This kind of appearance, coupled with the shirt with a wide open collar and the faintly discernible decadent temperament on his body, if seen by others, he would definitely receive the praise of being "charming".
Duan Hengye stood there, Duan Hengxing also raised his head to look at him. The two were silent for a long time.
After a long time, Duan Hengxing finally put down the wine glass in his hand, then he crossed his legs and smiled at Duan Hengye in disdain. "I knew you were coming."
After hearing Duan Hengxing's words, Duan Hengye stopped standing. He directly sat down on the sofa across from Duan Hengxing. Seeing that Duan Hengye still didn't speak, Duan Hengxing's face gradually lost its composure. He couldn't help but snort and say, "Oh? Professor Duan, since you're here, why don't you talk to me? "
"Duan Hengye, do you know that I really hate you like this? Who do you think you are to treat me like this? "Duan Hengxing gradually lost control of his emotions, and he said hatefully.
Seeing this, Duan Hengye, who hadn't said a word since he walked in, finally spoke. He coldly glanced at Duan Hengxing and said, "Then how should I treat you … Are you any different from other people?"
Duan Hengye's words blocked Duan Hengxing's anger. After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Duan Hengxing's first reaction was that the two were related by blood.
Duan Hengxing looked like he had swallowed a fly, so Duan Hengye guessed what he was thinking. "If you want to talk about blood relations …" Duan Hengye casually looked around Duan Hengxing's house and said, "Everything you have now is because of me."
Duan Hengxing was a hedonistic rich kid, but he wasn't an idiot. While squandering and enjoying himself, Duan Hengxing subconsciously knew where his power and status came from. Duan Hengye's tone couldn't be more normal, but his words hit Duan Hengxing's sore spot.
After a moment of silence, Duan Hengxing finally became flustered and exasperated. He stood up from the sofa and pointed at Duan Hengye's nose. He sneered and said loudly, "That's right, it's because of you. I'm indeed a despicable person who can't stand you. I purposely used Madam Shang's incident to annoy you, so what? "
Duan Hengye looked at Duan Hengxing and said in his usual tone, "Childish."
"Ha, childish?" Duan Hengxing sneered. "Yes, you're not childish. You've been a smart person since you were young. You could always stay by our parents' side and learn about mecha from them. What about me? I think that even when they were still around, very few people in the Galaxy knew that Dean Duan actually had a son, right? "
Hearing Duan Hengxing's words, Duan Hengye's eyes, which were as still as a pool of stagnant water, finally stirred.
If Duan Hangye remembered correctly, Duan Hangxing hadn't been very old when the original owner's parents had passed away in that mecha accident. Before hearing the other's words, Duan Hangye had never thought that he would still remember what had happened when he was young.
Duan Hengxing also noticed the change in Duan Hengye's expression. He sneered and said, "Actually, I've always known your motives — yours, your parents', and the royal family's."
Motives? Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel confused. If the royal family had motives, he could understand, but what were Duan Hengxing's motives?
Duan Hengxing put his hands in his pockets and looked out the window at the sea. "Whether it was you, my parents, or the royal family, you all wanted to raise me into a useless piece of trash. On the surface, you provided me with food, drink, and entertainment, but in reality? What can I do now? But I still have to thank you … "Duan Hengxing looked around, then tilted his head and said to Duan Hengye," I've been living more comfortably than you these past few years. "
After hearing Duan Hengxing's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't think that Duan Hengxing's malice towards him would come from this. Although Duan Hengye still didn't have any memories of his childhood, Duan Hengye felt that he could vaguely see the faces of his parents from back then.
The original owner's parents definitely weren't the people Duan Hengxing described them to be.
Although he didn't have any memories, after hearing Duan Hengxing's disdainful words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but gradually become angry.
But before Duan Hengye could say anything, he saw Duan Hengxing smile at him. Then he spread his arms and said to Duan Hengye, "Congratulations, you've achieved your goal."
Duan Hengye's expression became uglier, and Duan Hengxing's words made his anger burn even more. Although his expression didn't change, Duan Hengye couldn't help but become agitated. At this moment, an image suddenly flashed through his mind — —
He was sitting at his desk reciting obscure mecha information, and at this moment, a short little boy suddenly ran to his desk.
"Big brother, why are you still reading?" The boy pouted and said, "Play with me for a bit ~"
Hearing the child's words, Duan Hangye, who was sitting at the table, didn't react. A woman in a white lab coat walked over first. She lightly touched the little boy's cheek and said softly, "Good boy, Brother Heng needs to study. Go take a look at the optical computer, isn't there a new anime? "
After hearing the woman's words, the little boy was still a little dissatisfied, but after pouting, he still hugged his toys and ran out of the house.
Perhaps he was a little tired from sitting at the desk, but when he saw the little boy run out of the house, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Seeing this, the woman came over and sat beside him. She lowered her head and asked, "A Heng, are you tired?"
"I'm fine …"
After hearing this, the woman sighed and touched the top of the boy's head and said, "The Galaxy right now isn't peaceful at all. When I first found out that you had a talent for mecha, I hesitated for a long time whether or not to bring you into this field. But … "
At this point, the woman shifted her gaze and said faintly, "But there are some things that we can't escape from, no matter if there are many dangers in the future or not. You're the big brother … Whether it's now or in the future, you have to take care of your little brother. We have to make him happy, okay? "
This memory that suddenly appeared stunned Duan Hengye. This memory appeared too suddenly and too clearly, giving Duan Hengye the illusion that it just happened.
"Whether it's now or in the future, you have to take care of your little brother. We have to make him happy, okay? "The woman's words echoed in Duan Hengye's mind again and again.
Duan Hengye's current state was too strange, even Duan Hengxing felt it. He stood there and stared at Duan Hengye for a long time without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Hengye finally said to Duan Hengxing, "Do you miss your parents like this?" Duan Hengye didn't say anything special, but the tone of his voice was something Duan Hengxing had never heard before.
"… What do you mean?" Duan Hengxing's voice was a little shaky. After a long time, he finally spoke.
"Nothing." Duan Hengye looked at him coldly, "I just want you to think about whether what you said just now was right for them." After saying this, Duan Hengye slightly shook his head and said in a low voice that only he could hear, "And I … .I didn't do what I promised them back then."
Duan Hengxing didn't hear the last part of Duan Hengye's sentence clearly, but just the words "right for them" were enough to make him emotional again.
A few seconds after Duan Hengye's voice fell, Duan Hengxing suddenly took out a silver mini ray gun from his pocket and aimed at Duan Hengye's direction. "Shut up!" He shouted.
Duan Hengxing didn't undergo strict undercover training like the original owner, but he was still someone with a position in the royal family, so using a gun wasn't a problem for him. Duan Hengxing's firing speed was very fast, but Duan Hengye dodged even faster.
In an instant, Duan Hengye was already standing next to Duan Hengxing, and behind him, a large piece of glass had been broken.
In an instant, the sound of huge waves could be heard. At the same time, another person's footsteps could be heard from the corridor.
