In May of the year 2339, almost all Pegasi knew that Carl had been killed by Fowei on Pegasus. Such a big thing happened, but the Pegasus galaxy did not make any waves, and Carl's death did not change the balance of the Pegasus galaxy in the slightest.

Gretchen who escapes back to the greenback planet. Quake became the new head of the Quake Industries Pegasus branch, and the Dante Quake Industries headquarters also sent a low-key and steady staff member with a non-Quake surname to assist Gretchen, and the Quake Industries Pegasus branch remained the economic overlord of the Pegasus system.

The Pegasus Navy remains the pinnacle of the system's forces, guarding the system and ensuring that the system remains under the Grimm royal family; The military junta's cabinet and garrison fleet led by Kadr remain the supreme political power in the Pegasus system.

Bounty Hunter Brotherhood, unity remains; The Scavenger faction is still neutral towards the major factions and goes its own way.

Without the Pegasus stage of the Red Faction, the wind is calm, and the nascent regime of the Ifrit system is still not recognized by the Pegasus Supreme Administration, but no one denies that its existence has become an established fact.

Griff, who left Quake Industries, went incognito and started a business in Pegasus Star Gate Harbor, he was really a running vendor, engrossed in the Ifrit system, he was already a regular customer of the old Ibby Bar, and in his spare time, he would come here to relax, and every time he came to this bar, Griff felt as relaxed as if he was back at home.

The higher-ups of the Red Faction had already learned that Griff was in Pegasus Star Gate Harbor, but Griff neither inquired nor made small moves, so Sinkara and Asura only received orders to keep a close eye on them.

On this day, Griff, as usual, entered the old Ibbe's bar: "Old Ibby, have a dozen beers!" He took off his glasses, took out a small clean flannel cloth, and said to the barkeeper Anton as he wiped it carefully.

Anton waved his hand at Griff enthusiastically, he didn't know that Griff was Griff, only that he was an interesting old man named "Riley".

"Riley, you're a wine seller yourself, why do you keep coming to me to spend money on drinking!" Anton brought a glass of blueberry rum to the bar and said to Griff, who goes by the alias Riley, "It's still the same old thing, right?" ”

"That's a good point!" Griff took a large glass of blueberry rum and drank it, he took a few big sips, took a long breath, and then said to Anton, "As for the reason why I always come to you to buy wine..."

"What?" Anton leaned in closer, he really wanted to know the answer.

"That's two different things, you know?" Griff replied matter-of-factly: "Selling wine and buying wine are two different things, buying wine is not called buying wine, some people buy a lightheart, some people buy service, and some people are purely buying drunk!" ”

"Wow——!" Anton slapped his face in admiration and said to Griff, "Mr. Riley, your insights are really unique. ”

"It's idle, it's just nonsense, haha!" Griff laughed happily, picked up his glass and continued to drink.

As soon as Anton's conversation box opened, there were many questions he wanted to ask, and he asked curiously: "Mr. Riley, are you so old that you don't have family or friends or anything?" ”

Griff put the cup on the bar and replied truthfully, "Of course I have family, my family, sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, many of whom serve in the Pegasus garrison. ”

This answer really made Anton's heart tremble, and he stared at Griff for a few seconds, then showed a suspicious look and asked, "Are you bragging?!" ”

"It's the truth." Griff said.

"Then you still come to this remote place to run a merchant and sell wine?" Anton's interest in Griff grew.

Griff drank the blueberry rum in the glass in one gulp, the purple juice stained his beard, he stretched out the back of his hand and wiped it casually, with a serious expression, and said to Anton Zhengse: "Boy, can you talk about how you can join the red faction?" ”

Anton's expression was stunned, and then he returned to normal, and asked Griff rhetorically: "Why, Mr. Riley, you are so old that you also want to contribute to the common cause of liberating the oppressed?" ”

"Hahaha," Griff replied with a smile, "pretty much that's it." ”

"Don't be kidding, Mr. Riley, at your age, you are more suitable for retirement." Anton shook his head helplessly, turned around and wiped the table. But in his heart, he was already wary of Riley's sudden change.

"Who the hell is this old man?!" Anton secretly thought, "He must not be an ordinary old man. ”

While Anton was speculating and doubting, Griff behind him suddenly asked, "Boy, you should be a member of the Pegasus Liberation Party, right?" ”

"Hah!" Anton didn't look back, and replied lightly: "So what?" ”

Griff didn't care about Anton's embankment mood, but just said lightly to Anton's back: "'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband'." I'm an old horseman, and I want to help spread some light and heat. Can I be my party introducer? It would have been better if I had shortened my probation period appropriately. ”

Anton's heart is already overturned, this old man, he knows so well the details of Tianma Liberation Party members' joining the party, it is definitely not simple! He glanced back at Griff, and finally reluctantly put the suspicious old man on the list of key suspects.

Anton shook his head and said again to Griff, "Mr. Riley, don't make fun of me, okay?" ”

Griff was serious, and after nearly a month of thorough investigation, he found the Red faction to be much more interesting than he had imagined. At first glance, Griff was sure that a group of people with unrealistic ideals who fought for the well-being of the oppressed would not be able to reach the top of the Grimm Sky.

But after in-depth dissolution, understanding, analysis, and summary, Griff's impression of the Red faction has changed dramatically.

He finally understood why the Crimson faction was able to defeat the fleet of Quake Industries, not entirely because of the nebula barrier, nor because of Karl. Quake is too incompetent to blame it all on luck.

The most important factor in the victory of the red faction is close unity. And the reason for the close unity lies in that great and mysterious ideal. The so-called unity, unity, Fuwei. Alexander's red faction won in the hearts of the people.

Griff had never seen such a faction, which attracted more and more people with its common ideals and beliefs, and was willing to work hard for it, and enjoyed it; Among them, there are many children of nobles and wealthy businessmen with superior living conditions, but in the Ifrit system, money is not everything, and only those with lofty ideals can be welcomed and respected.

This gradually formed a virtuous circle day after day, with more and more young people with great ambitions flocking to the Ifrit system, and the environment of the Ifrit system is also assimilating some people who have long lost their faith, and even regard money as faith.

Griff does not agree with the ultimate ideal of universal unity, but he has to admit that the purpose and philosophy of the Red faction is indeed very attractive, it has its own particularity and uniqueness, and the existence of the faction is based on fighting for the oppressed, which is itself shocking.

Griff searched for most of his life and finally found Fuwei. Alexander, a man full of possibilities, is increasingly convinced that the red faction of Fowei has the potential to replace the Grimm dynasty! To sum up the above reasons, Griff finally made up his mind to join Fuwei!

Now that you have made up your mind, you will not procrastinate easily, and deliberate + decisive action is Griff's motto. He suddenly stood up and said to Anton: "Kid, I repeat, I want to join the red faction, I'm not kidding. ”

Anton's scalp was a little numb, he really couldn't deal with this old man, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he could only hide his embarrassment by laughing.

But something even more embarrassing was coming, and Anton only heard Mr. Riley on the other side simply admit it: "I'm Griff, and I want to see Fuwei. Alexander. ”

Anton's embarrassed laughter came to an abrupt end, and Mr. Riley actually said he was Griff?! Anton suspected that he had misheard, but then, he had to believe this result very much, the old man in front of him, and the guy named Gretchen from Quake Industries, were not at the same level at all!

"You... You... You're Carl. Quake's... Strategist..."Anton asked hesitantly.

Griff just smiled and replied, "It used to be." ”

The bar was silent, and many members of the red faction were staring at Griff, but Griff ignored it and didn't care, Anton didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, Griff appeared at Old Ibby's Bar, this is not a big event that Old Ibby's Bar can deal with on his own!

Anton immediately turned around and ran into the warehouse, wrote the matter into an urgent email, and sent it to the Nebula.

When he came out again, Anton had a serious face and said to Griff, "Mr. Riley... No, Mr. Griff, you may have to be grieved before Comrade Fowei arrives! ”

"I naturally understand this, and I won't cause you any trouble." Griff turned his head and entered a private room under the guidance of the members of the Red faction in the bar. Once inside, the members of the Red Faction closed the door, then came to a wall and opened a secret automatic door.

There is a cave inside, and it has a separate living room, which should be all available, and this kind of secret room was once prepared for the political asylum and fugitive indentured workers of the Pegasus free lancers.

"What a great place," Griff walked over to a couch, lay down casually, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
