Chapter 46: The Showdown (Part II)
"You guessed it right. The reason why people are not completely hostile to you is because in some way, you have earned their approval. Lu Jia tapped the table lightly, "Although you have only been here for less than two months, your performance on the battlefield during this time, as well as your relationship with everyone, you have been recognized as a member of the West Wind. β
"Even so, so what?" Instead, Heliga was even more puzzled, "I didn't think about these things at all. β
"You haven't thought about it, but I care about it." Lu Jia's calm voice sounded, "In fact, the occurrence of this incident has pushed me to make the next big decision. β
"What decision?"
"Before I tell you this...... Lu Jia's voice paused, and then said calmly, "You promise me one thing first." β
ββ¦β¦ You say. Heliga was confused, did the "Chasseur King" have any important entrustment to him, and why did he look so solemn?
"My next decision is highly likely...... Or inevitably, it will make the "west wind" fall apart...... The other members of the group, I don't have to worry about it, they all have the hole cards to protect themselves, or the ability to achieve greater achievements...... It's just that the only thing I can't worry about is that I can't do this...... But now, all obstacles have been cleared. Listen, Heliga, I want you to ...... for me after Zephyr disbands Take care of Fei for everyone and take her away. β
ββ¦β¦ Commander, what do you mean by that? Heiliga's mind was blank, he never expected that the head of the regiment would ask him for such a thing, he suddenly didn't know how to react, and a wave of confusion and confusion suddenly surged in his heart...... Ecstatic feelings, "After the dissolution of "Zephyr", you want me to leave here with Faye? β
"It's literal. This is the best way to solve this problem. β
ββ¦β¦ You...... Decided to accept the "God of Fighting"'s invitation to a duel? After an unbearable silence, Heliga struggled to state the only possibility, and as expected, received an unmistakable reply: "Well, that's right. It's something I can't avoid. My duel with him is unavoidable, no one can stop it, it is not only my obsession with the "God of Fighting", but also some kind of important symbol, out of a sense of responsibility, I don't want to escape, out of personal thoughts, I am also willing to accept such an extreme challenge...... Moreover, I also told you that Faye was the only problem I couldn't accept his invitation before, and your appearance has helped me solve this problem. β
"I still don't get it." Heiliga gradually recovered from the impact of that complex emotion, "My relationship with the Philippines is indeed good, but it should not be as good as the bonds between those old members and the Philippines." And as you said, their love for Faye is in no way inferior to that of you, who treats her as a father. As a fellow martial artist, I can understand the decision made between you and the "God of Fighting", and I also understand that this may be an unreserved death match between one side and even lose...... Just, why me? β
"Because, you are the most suitable person. This is true by all accounts. β
"Why?"
"First of all, you have an innate advantage that none of us have." Lujia shook his finger, "Heiliga, I think you should know that I personally strongly oppose the Philippines taking up arms and going to war with us, right?" β
"Hmm." Heliga nodded, something he had heard of when he was "Erlengamem".
That's why I chose you in the first place. You are not a hunter, even if you are now a member of the Zephyr. You have concealed your true identity, but I know it, and know that you have a real, soulful being in charge of everything in your family, and that you have grown up in conditions that those of us who have been stained with too much blood cannot compare.
"Secondly, if Fei follows you, there will be no security problems. She has the ability to fight and protect herself, but I am afraid that she will be in a very negative mood when Zephyr disbands and everyone leaves, which may seriously affect her performance...... But your strength is very strong, and with you by your side, she won't have anything to ask for. Even if you don't want to admit it, only you can use the power that doesn't belong to you.
"Finally, and most importantly, you have the trust of Faye...... Her affection for us was by no means false, but we ...... After all, it's not the kind of person who can really help her in all kinds of details and trivial things...... We taught her fighting skills, survival skills, we taught her how to be a hunter, but we couldn't teach her how to be a great person...... She trusts us, she can sleep peacefully in front of us, she can entrust us with her back on the battlefield, but she won't find us to talk about her inner anguish and entanglement, about her confusion and doubts, you are the special one, Heliga. β

It was late at night, and Luga Clauser had just sent the boy awayβprobably the biggest struggle of his life. However, he is just a child after all, and it is better for him to think about this kind of thing......
"Come in, you two." Lujia's voice was not loud, but it was clearly discernible in this quiet environment. After a while, Leo and Jeno walked in, one looking helpless and the other angry.
"Commander, I heard it all. But I still don't understand, why do you want to entrust Fi to him...... We have a better choice. β
"Oh? Like what? β
"For example, leaking information to guerrilla associations and churches so that they can help."
"It's a good idea, I'll consider it."
"What to consider! You've not already made up your mind! Leo slapped the table hard, "It's too big a problem!" Who is that young man, who is Heliga? Where did he come from? How much do you know about his strange powers? β
"Calm down, Leonidas." Lujia's voice contained a sense of courage and warning, which made Leonidas, who was originally imposing, suddenly weak, "Do you really think that you care more about Faye and her future than I do?" Would I casually push her to someone I haven't thought about it and is unreliable! β
"I'm sorry, I ......" Leonidas apologized with some chagrin, and he suddenly remembered that the regimental commander was definitely the strongest person in this regiment, and he was definitely the one who cared about Fei the most.
"But, Commander, you'll have to give us a reassurance." Jeno's voice rang out, "Leo's question, you should have an answer to tell us, right?" β
"Of course, I'm not going to hide it from you. The child's surname was Cryotwill, a family name of a viscount in the southern part of the Empire, and the head of the family was known for his integrity. As for his strength...... It's not like you haven't seen it, do you still need me to tell me? β
"Hmm......" The two fell into deep thought.
"And ......," added Lujia softly, "that's not all his strength...... If he can play at his best, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent. β
