Chapter 349: Freedom
Because of the war, Dark Dawn's former presiding judge, Major General Roth Bruce, became a distrusted figure in the United States for a time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not to be trusted, but not to be suspected, is a very delicate situation.
Because many people know that the reason why Colonel Roth Bruce was promoted to two levels in one day, beyond the rank of brigadier general, to become a major general is because of the royal family.
At the beginning, the first batch of X-level masters went to the United States, and because of the mistake of decision-making, the thirteen X-level masters chose to play with the U.S. government almost before the United States gained a firm foothold.
Such an attitude instantly aroused the vigilance of the top level of the United States.
All the bigwigs knew that it was not trivial to be able to come up with thirteen X-level masters at one time, and when the other party's purpose was not clear at the time, the high-level of the United States was not so much welcoming thirteen X-level masters into the United States as using them.
Pure exploitation!
And within a few days of that group of masters entering the United States, most of them were killed by the emperor like cutting melons and vegetables, which was neat, which made the United States, which was vigilant against the thirteen X-level masters, suddenly saw an opportunity, and planned to use this grudge to temporarily separate the secret service system and hand it over to the royal family and the mysterious force to fight.
At that time, the American high-level who did not know Atlas fully recognized the strength of this mysterious force, but the royal family was also not easy to mess with, temporarily separated the power of the secret service system, created a battlefield between the royal family and the mysterious force, let them fight back and forth, and then slowly absorbed the mysterious force and became their own power.
This was the wishful thinking of the U.S. government at the beginning.
And it was also in this context that Roth Bruce became the spokesperson of the royal family in the American secret service system, from colonel to major general, one of the three chief judges of the dark dawn, and Wang Fuyu, the side-by-side king who developed in the United States at that time, was in the limelight for a while.
And this happy life obviously does not last long.
Then, in less than a few months, under the stunned gaze of everyone, the war between the Divine Empire, the royal family and the United States suddenly broke out.
As the spokesperson of the royal family in the American system, General Roth Bruce did not give any help to the God of War Palace, and even at the last moment of the encirclement and suppression of Wang Fuyu, he personally led the team.
There is nothing wrong with him being the spokesman for the royal family, but he is first and foremost an American.
U.S. military personnel.
In any case, he could not betray his country.
After Wang Fuyu was captured, the American top brass quickly removed him from his post as chief judge of Dark Dawn, retaining the rank of major general, but without any actual position, knowing that a few days ago, the White House announced the new appointment of Roth Bruce.
Major General Roth Bruce was appointed Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
In fact, this is not a very important figure, at least compared to the identity of a major general, it is far inferior.
What is important is the meaning behind this appointment, whether Roth Bruce is valued by President Ulysses, and what is Rot Bruce's political position in the future?
In the past, Roth Bruce and Ulysses did not agree on their political positions, simply put, they belonged to different factions, but now it is interesting to hear that Roth Bruce's new appointment was proposed by President Ulysses himself.
"Roth, Roth... What does he want to do when he comes here to see Wang Fuyu?"
Nicholas squinted, his eyes scanning the dense screen in front of him, muttering to himself.
The relationship between Roth Bruce and the royal family and Wang Fuyu is something that many people are wary of, and it is also the fundamental reason why many people are suspicious of him.
After being removed from the position of presiding judge, Roth Bruce has never expressed any concern about Wang Fuyu's situation, and now a few days after being transferred to the FBI, he took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to see Wang Fuyu, what is this trying to do?
Nicholas thought silently, picked up the walkie-talkie and said indifferently: "Help me convey to General Roth Bruce that Wang Fuyu is a serious offender, and it is difficult for me to arrange this meeting without the president's order, I hope he can express his understanding." β
"Uh..."
On the walkie-talkie, the U.S. military who reported the situation paused in his tone, and then said: "General, Major General Roth Bruce came with a warrant from the president, and we have checked it and it is true." β
The president's warrant?!
Nicholas was obviously stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Is it President Ulysses?"
"Yes, General. β
There was a hint of strangeness in the voice of the American military.
"Since that's the case, then it's better for you to take him over, I still have something to do, and I can't accompany him personally, so you can convey my apologies on my behalf. β
Nicholas was silent for a while before he spoke calmly, and after saying a word, he directly turned off the intercom, frowned, and thoughtfully.
"President Ulysses ordered Roth Bruce to come to see Wang Fuyu?"
Sonal Atlas listened to all the reports in his ears, and when Nicholas's walkie-talkie was put down, he asked casually.
"Yes. β
Nicholas narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at Sonar, and said with a somewhat playful smile: "It seems that there are still many issues to be dealt with between the Atlas family and Mr. President." β
Sonal Atlas's expression changed slightly, and he bit his lip tightly and did not make a sound.
This Nicholas is indeed a smart man.
......
In the rain, Major General Roth Bruce, accompanied by a lieutenant colonel officer, went directly to the elevator of the inpatient building.
The scale of St. Mary's Hospital is not too large, and its popularity in the United States is not high, strictly speaking, this is an aristocratic hospital, but now it has become the place where Wang Fuyu is imprisoned, and everyone in the entire hospital has been emptied, but after strict review, some relevant doctors and nurses have been left, a total of more than a dozen people, and for absolute safety, Ulysses personally ordered that all the families of doctors and nurses move into the hospital, so that it is equivalent to directly cutting off the hope of Lin Xuanyuan and others to open a breakthrough from doctors and nursesγ
The elevator slowly ascends and finally stops at the top floor.
"General, I can only accompany you here. β
The lieutenant colonel with a serious look stepped out of the elevator and said directly to Roth Bruce: "The prisoner is now in Ward 7, and the general is careful." β
"I understand, thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Jack. β
Roth Bruce nodded, reached out and shook the lieutenant colonel's hand, and walked directly to Ward Seven.
Ward 7 is a VIP ward, a VIP in an aristocratic hospital, the luxury is a mess, it is completely a model room of a luxury apartment, but the door is not locked, TV, Internet, telephone, all are cut off, patients who live here, just can enjoy the hardware facilities in the ward, but there is no entertainment.
Roth Bruce didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in, his face calm.
Enter into the living room and head straight to the master bedroom.
The door was slowly pushed open.
Roth Bruce's expression was a little complicated.
In the line of sight, a slender and straight back stood quietly on the balcony, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, stunned.
Be quiet.
This word seems to have had nothing to do with the prisoner before, at least in the impression of Roth Bruce, every time the two met before, he was talking about various topics, and rarely stopped.
The problem of talking side by side has always been a headache for Roth Bruce.
But now looking at the king standing quietly on the balcony, Roth Bruce suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he felt that the other party had become strange in an instant.
Roth Bruce took a deep breath and walked to the back on the balcony, his steps unconsciously heavy.
Guilty?
Maybe a little.
If it weren't for this man and the support of the forces behind him, he would still be a major general of the U.S. military, and as for his strength, there would not have been much progress.
But it is precisely because he has become the spokesperson of the royal family in the American secret service system that Roth Bruce has been promoted to two levels and has become a major general in the core sequence of the US military, and under the guidance of Wang Fuyu, his strength has also improved greatly, and now he can be said to be a genuine quasi-X-level master.
Among them, there is Wang Fuyu's guidance, personal training, and the credit of the royal family's accumulation of a large number of genetic potions.
Roth Bruce had to admit that during that time, Wang Fuyu did treat him as his own and had almost no reservations.
And at that time, he also quickly had a sense of identity with the royal family.
But war came.
He did not betray his country, but in the end he betrayed the royal family, who had given him great help.
Guilt indeed.
But no regrets!
Roth Bruce's eyes became firm, strode to the balcony, came to Wang Fuyu's side, and said softly: "Lord Wang, long time no see." β
"Hmm? It didn't take long. β
Wang Fuyu turned his head to look at him, with a natural smile on his face: "It's only about a month at most, right?" β
As he spoke, he pointed to the bamboo chair on the balcony beside him.
Roth Bruce shook his head, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, so he took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Fuyu, and lit one himself.
"Tell me what? β
Wang Fuyu turned his head again, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and said indifferently.
Roth Bruce shuddered slightly.
At this meeting, he obviously noticed the changes in Wang Fuyu, which were subtle but obvious, as if the prince who had always given the impression of the outside world was very impetuous, suddenly precipitated, became quiet and distant, and had a kind of awe-inspiring power.
Strength?
Roth Bruce shook his head self-deprecatingly.
Although Wang Fuyu is now a world-shaking master, what strength can he have in his body? Every day, no less than seven or eight kinds of medicines are drunk along with the medicine to treat his injuries, suppressing his strength, and now he is just an ordinary person, if it weren't for this, the hospital would not be so careless to detain a world-shaking supreme figure.
"Lord Wang, I'm sorry. β
Roth Bruce didn't get down to business, took a big drag on his cigarette, and said in a heavy tone.
"Why do you say you're sorry? Do you regret betraying me?"
Wang Fuyu raised his eyebrows, sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Roth Bruce, and asked slowly.
"I don't regret it! I'm an American, this is my country, and no matter what, I can't betray my country!"
Roth Bruce said without hesitation, in a high tone.
"If you don't regret it, then there's no need to say sorry. β
Wang Fuyu said lightly: "I understand your thoughts, but you must also understand that from the day you betrayed me, our relationship is doomed, you don't have to say sorry, if you have the opportunity, when I kill you, I won't have any love for you." That's the enemy, right?"
Wang Fuyu's eyes were very peaceful.
But Roth Bruce subconsciously avoided Wang Fuyu's eyes.
"Let's get down to business. β
Wang Fuyu smoked a cigarette and said calmly.
"I am here on the orders of Mr. President. β
Roth Bruce extinguished the cigarette butt and said in a muffled voice.
Wang Fuyu didn't speak, he looked at him quietly, quiet and a little scary.
Roth Bruce subconsciously changed his posture and continued: "Mr. President, let me tell you that you can talk to the emperor on the phone, and the United States will also give you freedom, and even allow the royal family to develop in the United States again, provided that the royal family compensates the United States and agrees to several conditions of the United States. β
"Do you think it's interesting to say that now?"
Wang Fuyu's eyes flashed with a ridiculous look, and he asked rhetorically.
The corners of Roth Bruce's mouth twitched, he also felt ridiculous, but he was not Wang Fuyu, after learning about the inside story outside, he had some guesses about the president's order, but this kind of speculation, he couldn't tell Wang Fuyu.
"And if I'm not mistaken, the compensation that the United States needs, and the conditions that need to be agreed to by the royal family, are also unacceptable, right? Otherwise, Ulysses would talk to my brother directly, so why bother with me?"
Wang Fuyu continued.
"Lord Wang, Mr. President is very sincere! And this is about your freedom!"
Roth Bruce said in a deep voice.
"This sincerity has nothing to do with it, if that's what you're here today, then you can go back. My answer is simple, I reject Ulysses' alleged sincerity. Idiots know that war is inevitable, and now you come to talk to me about the conditions, do you bully me for not knowing the situation outside, or do you treat me as an idiot?"
Wang Fuyu said quietly.
"Lord Wang, don't you really want to be free? The government has decided that if you continue like this, they won't give you much time, and within a month, you will be executed!"
Roth Bruce's expression was a little gloomy.
"Look what's out there. β
Wang Fuyu suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed out the window.
Roth Bruce frowned and looked out the window in confusion.
From the angle of sitting, he could no longer see the garden and woods downstairs, only the gloomy sky and the rain that kept falling.
"What's out there?"
Roth Bruce asked subconsciously.
"It's freedom out there. β
Wang Fuyu said lightly: "I can't get this thing myself now, but it's not only Ulysses who can give it, but the royal family can also give it to me." β
He looked at Roth Bruce and continued, "You said I would be executed in a month? I said you would die in a month, and at my hands, do you believe it?"
