While Morningstar was busy preparing for the final agreement, a conversation about Morningstar was taking place in one of Flynn Hillman's humble homes.

There were three people in the room, and the one in the middle seemed to be of a high status, and the momentum of his gestures had the majesty of a superior person. Sitting on his left hand was a sturdy black man, the dagger in his hand flying up and down, and his eyes leaking a bloodthirsty light. Opposite the muscular black man was an elegant yellow man with eyes, flipping through a stack of papers in his hands, his brow furrowed.

The man in the center is Pike, the father of Nick, who died at the hands of Morningstar. The murderous information released by Morning Star did not make the old man who had lost his son restrain him, but the way he dealt with this matter had changed. The elegant yellow man is Pike's right-hand man, a think-tank-type figure named Fei Jiawen. The stout black man is a killer that Pike has cultivated for many years, specializing in performing some shady tasks for him, even Pike doesn't know his exact name, only a code name, called the Black Death.

Pike is a businessman by training, and he is still a member of the Alliance. Originally, in a similar conflict, the nature of a businessman would make Pike weigh the pros and cons and choose a way to deal with it that maximized his benefits, but the pain of losing his son has made him not think so much about the gains and losses, and now he has only one belief, which is to avenge Nick.

Fei Jiawen put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, looked very tired, picked up the wine on the table next to him and took a sip and said: "Your Excellency, this matter is not easy to handle, you should have read these investigation materials, this Republic man called Morning Star has good combat effectiveness, and now there are many comrades with unique skills gathered around us, if we want to avenge Young Master Nick, we must plan carefully to avoid accidents." ”

When the Black Death heard Fei Jiawen's words, he snorted disdainfully, put away the dagger in his hand and said, "You are just too careful, you think about this and that in everything you do." Sir, help me determine the location of the morning star, and I'll just kill him. "Although this killer called the Black Death seems to be very arrogant, he does have the ability to be arrogant, and he has not missed a single mistake in his career as a killer for many years.

Pike still didn't speak, and his hair had turned much grayer since learning of Nick's death. Many people had been arranged on Haven Star to make a move there against the Morning Star, but it was temporarily terminated by the appearance of Katarina. Pike knew that even if he killed Morningstar in that situation, it was unknown whether the elusive Vistock would be desperate to retaliate. Unlike the forces behind Morningstar, the revenge from Vistock is overwhelming and unbearable, if Pike really didn't care about these at the time, once Vistock launched a madness, whether his allies would firmly support him is another matter, the revenge of killing his son must be avenged, but the price of family subversion is unacceptable to Pike.

"Let's talk about it, Jiawen, what is your opinion." Parker turned around and looked at Fei Jiawen and said.

Fei Jiawen took out a few pages from the pile of documents, which he had marked in advance for backup. Taking out one of the pages, Fei Jiawen said: "The official of the Republic who assisted us in arranging for the soldiers to enter Alpha 137 has been determined to have been murdered, although this document does not specify exactly who did it, but I speculate that it should be this woman." Fei Jiawen handed the paper in his hand to Pike, who looked down and saw that a blonde beauty appeared in front of him, it was Catherine. Pike nodded and said, "Tell me what you found." ”

Fei Jiawen took another sip of fine wine and said: "Her name is Catherine, and her first appearance in the public eye was at a military gathering of the Republic, and she was only sixteen years old when she accompanied Leighton. When the Coalition recorded this, they inferred that Catherine's identity was Layton's personal maid. But they were completely mistaken, and I got the news that Catherine had been adopted by Layton since she was a child, and was trained as Morningstar's personal bodyguard, but later, for unknown reasons, the girl began to go on a solo mission and did well. She had been present near the scene of the death of the republican official, but there was no direct evidence that she had done it. But I would venture to speculate that the murderer was this girl named Catherine. Now she is an excellent combat officer of the Morningstar Group, and has an ambiguous relationship with Morningstar. ”

Hearing this, Pike nodded and didn't speak, but the Black Death on the side couldn't stop laughing obscenely, and said, "Such a woman must taste good, I like it very much." ”

Fei Jiawen glanced at the Black Death helplessly, this guy is indeed a sharp knife, but thinking with his lower body in everything has become his biggest weakness. Seeing Pike put down Catherine's photo, Fei Jiawen took out another piece of paper and handed it to Pike, saying, "You must be familiar with this person, he was famous in the entire human camp when he was young. ”

Pike glanced at it, nodded and replied, "Leighton, Morningstadt, of course I know, the existence that I could only look up to, the person who stirred up the storm. But it has faded out of the public eye for a long time. ”

Fei Jiawen nodded and replied: "That's right, Leighton, the son of the wind, the sword of the Republic, the real dragon teeth, the aura on his body is too numerous to mention, but if you think that Leighton, who has faded out of the public eye, is no longer as powerful as it used to be, then I dare not agree." Before Leighton faded from public view, he was the chief instructor of the Republic's special operations forces, and during his tenure, many of the soldiers he trained by him have now held important positions in the Republic's military, and even entered politics and rose strongly. This is an invisible force that must be taken seriously. Although the pressure from them will not be as unbridled as that of Vistock, once it erupts, it will also be imposing. ”

Pike fell into a brief silence, staring at the report on Layton for a long time before slowly putting it down.

Fei Jiawen took out two more pieces of paper and handed them to Pike, saying, "These two people are named Tina and Elle. The former used to be a teacher at a military academy in the empire, but for some reason, after being summoned by Morningstar, he resolutely gave up his original job and joined Morningstar's group. The latter was once a citizen of the Alliance, and is said to have a good ability in ship piloting, but was later exiled for unknown reasons, and then appeared in the Empire, and was taken away by Morningstar with this Tina, presumably the little girl should have joined the Morningstar Group. Of course, Fei Jiawen knew that the reason for Elle's exile was Pike's order, but as a think tank, he also knew very well that he couldn't point this out in this scene, so he could only say that he didn't know.

Pike, who was holding Elle's photo, was in a worse mood, and he didn't expect that the decision he made in anger would turn out to be the enemy of Morning Star, and Providence would make people.

The Black Death, who had been sitting on the side, was a little stunned at the moment, he couldn't figure out what these two people were doing with these character information, and they still needed to care about these when they fought? despised Fei Jiawen's excessive caution in his heart, and took out the dagger again, repairing the calluses on his hands.

"Go on." Parker said as he threw the paper on the table.

Fei Jiawen took out two more and handed them to Pike, and said, "This black-haired woman has appeared next to Morning Star many times, and we can't find any relevant information, this person seems to have appeared out of thin air." However, the information collected shows that she does not have much combat power, and it is very likely that the female slave of the Morning Star exists, because someone has heard that she is called the master of the Morning Star. ”

Hearing Fei Jiawen's words, Pike directly threw the paper out and ignored it. Looking at the photo on another piece of paper, Pike asked, "Isn't this a starry sky elf?" She's also a comrade-in-arms of Morningstar? ”

Fei Jiawen nodded and replied, "It is said that this starry sky elf girl's name is Norin Hill, and she was rescued by the lord Jorah when Morning Star was on a mission in Warrenfsburg in the Empire, as for how she appeared on Warrenfsburg, we have no trace. But don't underestimate this starry sky elf, do you remember the group of people we installed on the surface of Haven Star and were responsible for assassinating the Morning Star? ”

Pike nodded and said, "Of course I remember, there is another one who came back alive, not only came back, but also became the microphone of Morning Star, did you dispose of this idiot?" ”

Fei Jiawen nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, the Black Death will do it himself, and I guarantee that he has shut up forever." I have personally met this man and have received some terrible information from him. At that time, the leader of the group kidnapped the starry elf girl named Norin Hill, but before Morning Star arrived and killed the five members of the group, everyone in the group had inexplicably passed out. The guy who came back alive said that they didn't eat, didn't drink, and didn't ask about any strange smells, but they just felt that their heads suddenly burst into consciousness and they lost consciousness, so I think this starry sky spirit called Norin Hill should have found me some special psychic ability, which is a big threat. ”

Pike has a toothache, and now he has begun to pay attention to the strength of Morningstar.

Taking the paper handed over by Fei Jiawen again, Parker said directly: "This doesn't need to be introduced, how could I not know each other, the story between her and Morning Star is about to be written into an article." Imperial princess Katarina, the pearl of the palm of Vystock, hehe, self-surrendered identity and fall in love with a warrior of a republic, if it were my daughter, I would break her legs! ”

Fei Jiawen didn't speak, but the Black Death God on the side suddenly stood up and said, "Let me do it, my lord!" I'm the best at this kind of thing, and after breaking her leg, I'm going to ......."

"Enough, Black Death, don't always think about things with your lower body, now we are discussing the strength of the opponent, don't come out and make trouble!" Pike was a little displeased and reprimanded.

Although the Black Death is very angry, he still has to give the necessary respect to Pike, the gold master. With a tense face, the Black Death sat back in his seat and continued to fiddle with the dagger in his hand.

Fei Jiawen was secretly happy in his heart, although he was also a little dissatisfied with the Black Death, but thinking that this guy was ruthless and had no alliance temperament, he didn't dare to reprimand the Black Death, but Pike didn't care about this.

Fei Jiawen did not provide information for Pike this time, and said: "There should be a mysterious comrade-in-arms on Morningstar's spaceship, this person may not be a human at all, he should have a very high level of technology, and it is very likely that he was the one who saved Morningstar in the first place." He never appeared in our sights, but I knew he existed. Let's define him as a doctor, or a person in charge of scientific research, but we can't ignore his existence! ”

Pike nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's all there should be for medium and low threats, let's talk about the most critical one!" ”
