Chapter XXVIII
Part 4: The Beginning of the Angel Battle: Chapter Twenty-Eight: Aslan's 'Mutiny'
After leaving the Speaker's office, I couldn't help but start worrying about Aslan's situation. Although he is the son of Speaker Zara, but looking at his attitude just now, as soon as he mentioned Aslan, Speaker Zara's face changed, something must have happened. Otherwise it wouldn't be like this. After thinking about it, I know the secret first, and it seems that I am going to find that guy Jill again, after all, he is much better connected than me, and he knows more about the current news than I do. At this time, I can only go to him.
With that in mind, I went straight back to the Artemis and sent a communication request to Gilna in front of the communication equipment.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Artemis communication station.
"This is Leonard von Findrad, to whom Z.A.F.T. belongs, numbered 0000456 (purely a fabrication), requesting access to the correspondence with Mr. Gilhardt Dirandal."
"Please ......wait," replied a sweet female voice, presumably Jill's little secretary.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Yo, Leonard! You miss me after you haven't seen me for a few days!? After a few seconds, Jill's image appeared on the communication screen.
"Hell, I miss you because of something." I shuddered at his somewhat sensual greeting.
"You're breaking my heart so much......" Jill said with a little "sadness."
"I'm here, I'm looking for you for business. Don't give me such sensual words. I whispered.
"Okay, okay. You're still so unhumorous. Say, what's the 'good thing' for me? "Hearing that I had something to do, Jill finally put away that meaty voice.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you about Aslan Zara, who used to be in Lao's team."
"Wow, what a lion's mouth. Q: Is this still a big deal? Jill exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"What do you mean? Event? Could it be that something happened in Aslana? I asked anxiously.
"You're right, something happened to Aslan. And it's not small. Jill said unhurriedly.
"Don't let me get drunk, finish it all at once. Don't get confused! I shouted dissatisfied.
"Okay. Really, so grumpy at a young age. I was just about to get angry when I heard this, and Jill spoke again, "Actually, this time Aslan Zara returned to P.L.A.N.T on the Earth Army's shuttle, and he didn't bring back the Justice he piloted last time. So it was intercepted in the Yakin defense circle and reported to the military. As soon as he received the news of Aslan's return, Speaker Zara summoned him. After that, the father and son talked in the Speaker's office. But the outcome of the conversation seemed to be bad, and Speaker Zara had the guards escort Aslan away after the conversation. After much inquiry, it seems that the speaker of the parliament has brought Aslan the responsibility of 'rebellion'. β
"Rebellion!?" I exclaimed.
"Yes. Rebel. But this is only the beginning of things, in fact, just now, I received the news that Aslan was abducted while being escorted out of the parliament building. According to the intelligence, it should have been someone from the Klein faction. And now that Aslan is missing, the Klein faction has reappeared, and our Speaker Zara is on fire! There's going to be a good show right away. Jill seemed to be watching a good show.
"And now? Any news from Aslan? I asked.
"Unfortunately, after Aslan was kidnapped, he was never heard from again. It is estimated that now he is with the Klein faction. β
"Kleines...... By the way, has there been any news of Lux lately? "At the mention of the Kleines, my mind unconsciously thinks of the pink figure.
"There is no specific news, but she has been very active lately. There has been a war of words with our Speaker Zara over the radio. And the P.L.A.N.T also dispatched various forces to strike, but it may be that the work of the Klein faction has been done well, and she has not been found for so long. Do you care about her? Not afraid of your fiancΓ©e's jealousy? Jill smiled.
ββ¦β¦ You care about me...... She's also my friend, so it's normal for me to care...... Damn, what can I explain to you! I was a little flustered when I was asked by Jill, and explained, I regretted it as soon as I finished speaking, isn't this the three hundred taels of silver here? I hurriedly changed the subject, "Hey, don't interrupt, I guess Aslan should be with Lux by now." Then I have nothing to worry about, after all, they will not be in any danger under the protection of the Klein faction, and I have a hunch that they should leave the P.L.A.N.T soon. So, I felt the need to help them. β
"Oh? How can it help? Jill looked at me with interest.
"If they're leaving, they're going to leave by shuttle, so I think there's a way to get the airport to be a little more secure." I spoke my mind.
"Oh, I'm sorry to tell you that they won't be on the shuttle." Jill laughed.
"Well, why?"
"There's one piece of news you may not know, but Freedom and Justice actually have a special supply ship, the Eternity. When Lux rebelled, I got the news that the Klein faction seemed to want to attack the ship, so I thought the Eternal should be under the control of the Klein faction now. I think if they're going to leave in a day or two, they're going to leave on the Eternity. And if they are going to leave on the Eternity, they will definitely be under a tight siege in the Yajin defense circle. Jill explained.
"I see. Then I'm going to think about what to do...... By the way, thank you for the news you told me today, and I'll treat you to dinner another day. β
"Just send me away for a meal, forget it, just eat a meal." Jill said helplessly.
"That's it for now. I'll look for you again if there's something. β
"No, it's not good to come to me every time......" Jill complained quietly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ending my conversation with Jill, I started thinking. It doesn't look like this matter will be resolved so easily. I have a hunch that tomorrow will never be so easy. Lux...... Let's hope you and Aslan are safe......
