Chapter 179: The Blade That Pierces the Heart (Part II)
Chapter 179: The Sharp Blade Piercing the Heart (Part II)
In the Northern Star Domain, in the vast starry sky, an extremely fast silver miniature ship flew by like a meteor, and disappeared into the dark and deep boundless galaxy in the blink of an eye. {}
"This ship is flying really fast, I can assure you, it's definitely the fastest flying starship I've ever ridden." In the cockpit of this silver diamond-shaped starship, Robin, dressed in military uniform, smiled at Calvin, who had an unnatural expression beside him, with a smile on his face.
"You need to know, this starship is Lev? Ford's personal car, and he's a guy who pursues speed to the extreme. When he said this, Calvin's expression seemed to be a little helpless, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Robin.
Robin wasn't surprised that Calvin would look at him with such a complaining look. After all, although the relationship between the two was good in the past, they are now divided into two camps, and Calvin will accompany him to a large extent because of Robin's coercion, and it is inevitable that he will complain about Robin because of this.
After feeling Calvin's dissatisfaction, Robin didn't care, he smiled and put his hand on Calvin's shoulder: "What, are you still complaining that I dragged you to death?" ”
"Will my grievances make you change your mind?" Calvin tilted his head, as if he didn't want to talk to Robin.
"Of course not." Robin replied very dryly.
"Then why do you care about my feelings?" Calvin's eyes darkened, and he laughed at himself, "Anyway, I'm just your captive now." ”
"Don't say that, even though we're on different camps at the moment, we're still friends. And from a friend's point of view, I suggest you reconsider your sidelines. ”
"You should understand that this kind of thing is not for me to decide. I am now the n.v. son-in-law of the Ford family, and my destiny is destined to be tied to this family. Calvin was visibly reluctant when he said this.
After all, in terms of personal ability, in the current Proxima Centauri field, few people can be more outstanding than Calvin. From an ordinary commercial representative of Alex two years ago, to the deputy minister of commerce of Othello Planet Othello, who later took charge of the side. During this period, Calvin's rapid rise was partly due to Robin, but his outstanding individual ability was also unquestionable.
What if there was no Lev? Ford suddenly drove to Proxima Centauri, so the Hermes spaceport and the spare parts production center invested by the Ford family there must be Les by him? Ford's NV son-in-law is in charge. And in that case, the current situation will be completely different, at least Calvin has confidence in Bilev? Ford did a better job of keeping the situation from being so passive.
Calvin's thoughts at the moment Robin certainly knows, and for Calvin just to become Lev? In the matter of Ford's deputy, he also felt very happy.
"Calvin, you're a little too pessimistic. If you really think of yourself as only a vassal of the Ford family, then I don't think I need to talk to you about taking sides. ”
As he said this, Robin's tone was obviously much heavier, which made Calvin stunned and didn't understand what Robin's hint was trying to convey.
"Calvin, we've known each other for so long, and I know your abilities better than anyone else. Shouldn't your place be Lev? Ford's deputy, you need a broader stage to show yourself. ”
"......" Robin's provocative words obviously touched Calvin's deep ambition, making him inadvertently reveal a hesitant look.
Calvin was an ambitious man, who climbed from a small salesman with no roots, to a business representative at Alex, and then used this as a qualification to enter politics, even at the expense of his own marriage, to get Les? Ford's NV son-in-law. All of this is enough to show Calvin's ambition, his desire to get ahead is stronger than anyone else's, and his desire for power can even make him pay any price.
In a way, Calvin has been a success. After all, compared to him two or three years ago, he has now gained rights and status that he never thought of before. However, people's hearts will always change with the change of status, losing what they want and getting what they want more, which is the greed that everyone will have.
Originally, Calvin relied on Les? Ford's son-in-law rose to the top, and now, after gaining the position, he found that with his ability, Les? Ford's status as a NV son-in-law has become an obstacle for him to obtain higher rights.
After all, Les? Although Ford is the family spokesperson in charge of the Ford family, he is not Ford III after all, but only a cousin of Ford III. This identity of collateral lineage makes Les? Ford is facing the family's chief heir, Lev? Ford didn't have much say at all, and Les, who was his father-in-law? Ford didn't have a say, so Les? Ford's NV son-in-law, Calvin, has even less say.
In terms of Calvin's experience at the Hermes spaceport, what if he didn't have Les? The identity of Ford's NV son-in-law is just to become Lev simply as an official with a foreign surname? Ford's deputy, then Lev? Ford will inevitably respect his decision more, and maybe will also win him over in good faith, giving him the opportunity to truly enter the inner circle of power of the Ford family as an individual. But now, crowned Les? Ford NV son-in-law, Calvin facing Lev? When Ford was inferior, when the two got along, Lev? Because of this status, Ford also regarded Calvin as a house slave, and spent his days drinking without regard for his feelings.
Calvin has been suppressed for a long time, but he has no ability to change the status quo and can only choose to forbear. After Robin's surprise capture of the Hermes spaceport, he was even more desperate, feeling that his future had come to an end.
However, when he heard the hint in Robin's words at this moment, the ambition in his heart, which had almost been extinguished, was revived again. His remarkable political discernment made him understand in an instant what Robin meant by saying this, and the big stage that he had neglected.
"You mean...... Abandon this identity as the NV son-in-law of the Ford family and choose to support Blair from a personal standpoint? Rex? ”
"Abandonment? Why abandon such a big backer as the Ford family, if there is no Lev? Ford's words, your name as the nv son-in-law of the Ford family is still very popular. Seeing that Calvin was a little shaken, Robin suddenly smiled with joy.
"Even if there is no Lev? Ford, my father-in-law Les? There's no way Ford can support me. Calvin frowned and shook his head: "He is a very rigid person, and he will never do anything against the interests of the Ford family." ”
Robin sneered and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "But what if I capture the planet Othello and help Blair?" After Rex takes control of Proxima Centauri, will he continue to hold on? I think he should understand that putting jī eggs in a basket is not a smart choice. And even if he is stubborn, I think it won't be difficult to use your means to put him in the air. ”
"You're so confident? With more than 300 people on this ship, you actually want to capture the planet Othello? Calvin shook his head in disbelief, still feeling that Robin's adventure was purely a death.
"I don't need to capture Othello, I just need to capture the orbital ring of the ring, which is equivalent to controlling Othello." At this point, Robin made an explosive gesture: "Have you forgotten the earth-shattering assassination planned by Ansel?" Those railguns aren't just aimed at space. ”
"You want to ......" was mentioned by Robin, and Calvin suddenly understood what he wanted to do... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
