Chapter 138: Love and Hate
Fenoano walked into his door, and he could even ask about the smell of food in the air. Usually at this time, Grelia and her five daughters are already sitting at the dining table, waiting for the meal to begin.
This is Mr. Fenoano's daily life, and it is also his happiest moment. Only this time, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any closer.
"Fenow? Why don't you come to dinner? Lady Grelia sat at the table and looked at him with a quiet smile.
"Dad, we're hungry, come here!" Finkati hugged a younger sister and whispered to him.
Finoano stretched out his hand to them with all his might, but his body kept falling, falling, falling into the endless abyss.
"Grey !!"
He was sweating profusely and woke up.
"Master Star!" Director Mellon shouted worriedly, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Finoano.
"Mellon, how long have I been asleep?"
"My lord, it's nine o'clock in the evening local time, and you've only slept for an hour." Mellon advised, "You should continue to rest. โ
"I can't rest." Fenoano pushed away the director, who was a generation younger than himself, "As long as I close my eyes, it's all endless misery." โ
He dragged his exhausted body and sat down at his desk again, making a final effort. Tomorrow afternoon, the Arbitration Hall will hear the case of Lidl World v. Union Urban and Rural Committee for Abuse of Power, and the current situation is very unfavorable to them.
On the same day, after Xiaobai instantly killed Zhao Xiaoao, Finoano in the auction hall knew that something was wrong. After a brief consultation with Captain Balboa, he teleported to the flagship of the Liddell garrison fleet, ready to deal with an emergency.
The horror of the Immortal was far beyond his imagination, and Xiaobai was the best among them. Fenoano never imagined that with just a dazzling flash of black light, half of the universe opposite him would disappear.
Liddell is a very well-developed technological universe, they joined the alliance a long time ago, but their direct understanding of the alliance is limited to communication with the garrison officer Zhao Xiaoao.
Zhao Xiaoao, the Great Monk of the Twelve Heavens, can fight against the entire Liddell garrison fleet alone, and the entire Lidder ruling group is shocked, and use this as the basis to evaluate the individual strength of the alliance staff.
They thought that this was an overestimation of the strength of the immortals, but in fact they knew nothing about the power.
Xiao Bai's eyes were far beyond their imagination, and the garrison fleet happened to be outside Xiao Bai's field of vision, so it avoided the end of direct annihilation. But they weren't much better, the collapsing Liddell Dyson sphere, the strongly disturbed gravitational field instantly tore apart the entire fleet.
Fnoano's flagship bridge was heavily equipped with an outland defensive shield, and he was ejected, and luckily flew to the Alliance's space-time station to escape.
Liddell's main star was completely wiped out, half of the universe was torn apart, and the entire civilization was left with only a dozen colony stars and some resource stars. When Fenoano woke up from his coma, he found himself the highest-ranking official in the entire civilization to survive.
He naturally became Liddell's *****, but instead of reaching the pinnacle of happiness, he was tormented by endless desolation.
Everything he loved, everything he hated, and even everything he knew, was wiped out in that instant. This fat man, who was originally prosperous and proud, and was slightly smooth and greasy, was thin and inhuman-shaped in just a few days, and his hair became pale in one day.
In order to take revenge and bring the culprit to justice, he worked tirelessly from waking up. However, his power is too limited.
After Xiluo first reached a settlement with the Urban and Rural Committee and Wen Zonglian withdrew the lawsuit, the elven god persuaded Fenoano to take the money and leave, but he refused.
He sincerely wished that he had died on the day of the destruction of the main planet, and that he would sit at the dinner table with his beloved wife and children to face the destruction.
But since he is still alive, he must seek justice for his own worldโbecause there is no one else but him.
Fenoano insisted on suing the Urban and Rural Committee in the name of Liddell's world, for which Shiloh first broke out into a fierce quarrel with him, and finally the elven god shook his face and left. Fenoano lost the only force he could rely on, and the pressure increased dramatically.
A large number of witnesses were unable to testify in court because of the extradition clause of the blank universe, a large number of documentary evidence could not be effective because they were not signed by a notary, and even because there was no lawyer, the indictment was drafted by him against the laws of the Union.
Director Mellon looked at Finoano, who was struggling to write, and sighed. He quietly closed the door and withdrew.
On Doom Day, Mellon happened to be on a vacation planet and escaped the disaster.
After coming back, because the board of directors was almost completely wiped out, he actually became the number two person in the Liddell world, which can be regarded as a creation and a man.
Lord Mellon deeply admired Fenoano's efforts and persistence, but he did not think that would play any role in the outcome of the trial. In his opinion, what Elder Star is doing is not so much seeking justice as his self-redemption.
The former 17-ring-ring elder was notoriously strict with his daughters in the upper echelons of Liddell, and now his grief has made him lose his mind. Even if Liddell can bite off a piece of meat from the urban and rural committees, what is the point to the cruel reality.
Mellon looked back at the hotel where he was staying, and could see that Fenoano's room was brightly lit.
Oh, even if the hotel accommodation fee was not available to Liddell World, he still applied for judicial aid from the arbitration hall. The native currency of the Root Plane is scarce and cannot be exchanged, far from being something that a penniless world like theirs can store.
As a qualified politician, it is clear which is stronger and which is weak, and it is ridiculous that he can't even pay for accommodation, and he still wants to take revenge on someone else's home field.
Mellon continued down the street, and after a few intersections, he looked up to confirm the agreed location, then lowered the brim of his hat and walked into a coffee shop.
"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous."
In the coffee shop, a young man with fairly high clothes was already sitting and waiting, and when he saw Mellon's nervous looking around, he couldn't help but wonder, "This is the earth, and in most cases, it's quite safe." โ
"It's quite comfortable, indeed."
Mr. Mellon's caution stems only from concerns about rumors, and the legends of the Origin Plane in the multiverse are often overly mysterious. And after really being in it, it will be too ordinary and produce an unrealistic cautious attitude.
"Mr. Guang, I'm sorry, I was in the hotel just now, and I was a little delayed."
"Don't worry, Mr. Mellon." Ah Guang added four cups of creamer to the coffee disapprehantly, "I have plenty of time and patience. โ
"As long as you bring what you promised."
"Of course." Mellon reached into his clothes, an action that made Guang's eyelids jump, but eventually, the other man took out an envelope instead of a pistol.
"All the list of evidence, the list of testimony and the trial prosecution and defense plan prepared by Lord Fenoano in the past few days are here, please take a look."
Mellon's solemn hands were offered.
Ah Guang took the meaningful envelope lightly, but did not open it, just stared deeply at the groveling villain in front of him.
A day earlier, Mr. Mellon had secretly contacted the Urban and Rural Committee, willing to betray his superiors in exchange for the friendship of the Urban and Rural Committee.
Director Zheng Qin was dismissive of this. The trial of the urban and rural committee was quite well prepared, in other words, it was won. So I don't need this icing on the cake information, and I won't give any friendship to a guy who sells for glory.
But Ah Guang still came, he was a cautious man, and he did not hesitate to do his best against even the weakest enemies. There is no reason not to accept the information sent to the door.
Mellon fidgeted under Ah Guang's cautious gaze, and seeing that the situation was almost over, Ah Guang spoke:
"Mr. Mellon, to be honest, I don't trust you." He casually threw the envelope on the table, "If the source is doubtful, don't look at it." โ
"It's hard for me to trust a man who has betrayed his own world, and since he can betray his own world, there is certainly nothing that cannot be betrayed, including the deal we are making now. ...... like you"
Ah Guang paused at this point, he was considering the words, he despised the person in front of him, but it didn't mean that he would lose his manners. But he didn't expect that Mellon actually answered his words.
"Mr. Ah Guang, just say that I'm a villain, I have this self-knowledge."
Ah Guang glanced at Mellon in surprise, and he had to admit that it seemed that he had made a wrong judgment. The apostate's nervousness was not due to weakness.
"Okay." Ah Guang put down the coffee cup and sat upright, "How do you want to convince me, according to your words, it is we who have destroyed your world, and we have taken everything from you." You should be as hateful as your great star grower, and you shouldn't sit here talking to me about cooperation, right? โ
The question was rather heavy, and Mellon was silent for a moment as he lowered his head and stirred the sugar in the cup. Then, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Who said I hated you, Lord Aguang?"
"Would you like to hear my story? Of course, this is a villain's story and may be a bit vulgar. โ
"Listen up."
"I have a wife, I'm sorry I've forgotten her name, I just remember that her waist was thicker than a bucket. I married her purely because her father was my immediate boss.
I have a son, and he's stupid as a pig, and he doesn't look like me, Mr. Aguang, you know what I mean.
I bought a house in the third ring road of Liddell, and I had to pay off the mortgage for 50 years in a big place.
I recently hooked up with a school girl, oh, she's awesome, her waist is thinner than my legs. In order to support her, I spent all my money, even the money that I was supposed to pay off the mortgage.
On the night of the destruction of the main star, my student sister and I were having a good time on a holiday star. When I was done, I broke up with her because I really didn't have any money.
After I was done, before I could speak, my sister told me that she was three months pregnant, the child was mine, and she and I asked for 10 million for the pregnancy.
I stood still, and before I could say anything, my phone rang.
The first was a phone call from the bank, where the arrogant account manager told me that if I didn't make up the arrears, he would take back my house and send me to jail.
The second was a phone call from my wife, who told me that she had all the evidence of my cheating and that if I didn't sign an agreement to hand over all the property and house to her, she would ask my father-in-law to kick me out of the company. Moreover, the child is mine!
The third was a phone call from the company secretariat, and they informed me that there had been a major casualty accident in the transport fleet bound for Carl Vinson because of my unauthorized departure. They've issued an arrest warrant for me to immediately return to the police station on Liddell's main planet and turn myself in.
After answering the phone, I sat stupidly on the sofa, wanting to cry without tears. I thought a lot about it that night, and I thought about whether to give the student a shot or give myself a shot first. At this time, an emergency announcement sounded.
The main star is destroyed!
At that moment, I did feel incredible and endless sadness, but then the next moment, I suddenly reacted:
The bank, the loan, the relationship manager, the wife, the children, the father-in-law, the company, the arrest warrant, the police station, the prison cell, everything, it's all gone!
I suddenly felt that the piercing alarm was simply heavenly!
My student sister hugged me and cried bitterly, she lost all her family and friends, and she cried that I was her only relative.
I hugged her and prayed for my wife, my children, my father-in-law and that account manager, and may they be happy in heaven. I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.
So, Mr. Guang, why do you think I should hate you? You guys are my lucky angels!
Is it okay to have such a reason? โ
Ah Guang didn't answer Mellon's question, he stared at the little smug villain and took a deep breath.
"You did convince me, Mr. Mellon."
