After coming out of the court-martial, Nuo Yi and the others were released from their shackles, and according to the court's verdict, everyone had one day to go back to rest, and tomorrow they had to prepare to leave for Devil's Claw Mountain.

Now that the garrison is gone, everyone has no good place to go, so they have to go back to Adams Manor together. So Nuoyi, Dean and other five people, with the remaining fifty or so Shi Wei and garrison veterans who were not seriously injured, returned to the manor together, as for those seriously injured, they had been dismissed from the military by the military court, and they were repatriated after treatment.

Surprisingly, although Adams Manor looked a bit of a mess, with rut marks everywhere and huge footprints on the lawn by mechas, Theodore stood in front of the main building of the manor for the first time.

Dean looked at his father's appearance and was surprised, because Theodore looked not only in good spirits but also smiling today, as if he was greeting the triumph of a hero.

I haven't seen such an expression and smile in front of my father for many years. Dean was a little uncomfortable.

However, Theodore took the initiative to come over even more unprecedentedly, hugged Dean and said, "Child, you are back, you are not being bullied, right?" ”

This voice full of tenderness and concern made Dean instantly red, looking at his unusual father, Dean said a little nervously: "Father, Dad, I'm fine." You ... ”

Theodore smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let's talk about what to go in, butler, these people are the heroes of our Addams family, you take them down and have a good wash and hospitality!" ”

The old housekeeper next to him for many years agreed decently, and immediately took more than a dozen domestic servants to bring Shi Wei and the veterans of the garrison down.

Entering the hall of the main building, Theodore first bowed to the five people, and Nuo Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Patriarch, how can this be deserved." ”

Theodore smiled kindly: "Pawn! Although we are the losers in this operation, it is not you who are defeated! You have done well enough, you have fully fulfilled your mission and arrangement, better than I could have imagined. ”

Then Theodore said with a slightly serious expression: "Although we failed this time, it doesn't mean that we will always fail, in the past, the three families, who have not experienced ups and downs, so, don't be discouraged, Federation, maybe there will be changes and turnarounds." ”

At this time, the siren of the United Security Bureau sounded, and it approached very sharply and quickly, and soon, several police cars stopped sharply in the Adams manor, adding a few black marks to the precious stone floor tiles.

Dean looked at Theodore a little nervously and said, "Dad, what is this?" ”

"Don't be nervous, you're coming for me." A voice sounded from the stairs, and a man slowly descended from the second floor, tall and slightly thin, with a handsome face but a mustache, but with a shrewdness and cunning.

"Big brother!" Dean shouted!

Only then did Nuo Yi react that the person who came down from the second floor was the former God of Wealth of the Federation, Treasury Secretary Juan Adams. I finally got to see the real person today, but the situation seems to be a little bad.

Juan came to Dean, nodded to Old Man Theodore, and then gave Dean a big hug, and the two brothers hugged each other tightly.

Juan said to Dean: "Brother, you are very good, you have behaved very well over the years, if you want me to say, those gentlemen in Star City are not as good as yours, there are too many." ”

Dean said, "Brother... Are you going to be taken away by the CSA? ”

Juan nodded: "Yes, but you don't have to worry, it's not a big problem." ”

Theodore looked at Dean with red circles and said: "After all, there are so many reporters, the superficial work still has to be done, and they won't suffer too much, and they should be able to come back in a while." ”

Juan also looked at Dean and nodded, and continued to say seriously: "Dean, over the years, Dad has been cold to you, you should know today that in order to prevent this situation, you have to understand Dad's hard work." If this is not the case, you and all the people in the garrison will definitely become more serious bargaining chips, and no matter what position you are in, you will inevitably be sentenced today. So I have no one outside in Adams' house. ”

Dean finally understood the reason for all these years, and suddenly, the day the ice melted away, but it was the time of parting. A pair of tiger eyes could no longer hold back tears, and tears dripped down Dean's face in large pieces.

Theodore stepped forward to wipe away Dean's tears and said, "You are leaving tomorrow, go to Devil's Claw Mountain, don't worry too much." Daddy will help you. ”

Juan came to Nuoyi and said, "You're Nuoyi, aren't you?" I know all these things you've been with Dean all these years, and I'm very grateful for everything you've done, and Adams will have to rely on you a lot in the future. Nuo said he didn't dare.

At this time, a group of CA guards entered the main building wearing battle armor, and one of the captains asked, "Who is Juan Adams?" ”

Juan stepped forward and said calmly, "I am." ”

The captain nodded: "We are the Special Operations Group of the Joint Security Agency, you need to come with us." ”

Juan nodded, smiled back at Theodore and Dean, and simply followed the ASA men.

Watching the departure of the guards of the Joint Security Bureau, Dean couldn't help but shout: "Brother! Theodore finally had a look of unbearable expression, and Nuoyi looked at the mark of Adam Heavy Industries on the battle armor of the Joint Security Bureau, and really felt a little mixed.

After Juan left, Theodore regained his looks, invited the five to sit down, and then said: "Your original items, I will give you back, including the battle armor, I think it is better to use your own habits." ”

Nuo Yi hurriedly thanked him, judging from the characteristics of the Joint Security Bureau, he was afraid that Theodore had spent a lot of money. In fact, the judgment of the Federal Military Court decided that these things should be returned to their original owners, but the Joint Security Bureau can drag you down for a long time on the grounds that the evidence chain investigation is needed, coupled with the legal support of the Judicial Yuan, I am afraid that it will be no problem to take off for three or five years, so Theodore actually gave the United Security Bureau a full 100 million star dollars to get these items back, including Nuoyi's battle armor and the most important black sword, which is also the reason why the price is so high.

"Devil's Claw Mountain is a very bad place, but it is also very dangerous. After you go, remember one thing, don't take the initiative, at least until strong support comes, the basic policy of the Federation and the Empire there is to defend, and there is no problem in defense, safety is guaranteed. Remember, lie dormant for a while, and then expand your control if you have the chance. Theodore said earnestly to the five.
