Chapter 118: The Prologue to the Troubled Times (I)
Hermes Space Police Station.
In the well-equipped emergency room of the police station, a culture chamber filled with light green liquid finally finished its work after a crisp 'tick', and with the rapid discharge of the nutrient solution in the cabin, Robin's face was vaguely revealed in the glass hatch filled with water vapor.
'Wow~'
The hatch slowly opened, and Robin, who was sleeping in the training cabin, opened his eyes violently as if he had suddenly woken up from a nightmare, and subconsciously pulled off the oxygen mask that was releasing the lucid mist.
"Ahem......"
The pungent sobering spray made Robin cough as soon as he woke up, and at this time, a police station medical officer wearing a nurse's uniform stepped forward quickly, supported the weak Robin, and then used the instrument to test Robin's various physical data, and after confirming that there was no major problem, he tore off the ECG patch attached to Robin's chest, draped a towel for him, and helped him sit down in the recovery area.
Sitting tremblingly wrapped in a towel for a while, Robin's consciousness began to regain consciousness, and various body functions returned to normal, and even the original distorted and hazy vision gradually became clear.
"It's ......"
As soon as he regained his senses, Robin stood up vigilantly and surveyed his surroundings.
"This is the Hermes Space Police?" Seeing the iconic police badge on the wall, Robin immediately recognized this as the police headquarters in the Northern Star Field. Robin had been here several times during his time as Inspector of Police in the Northern Field.
"Is it the police who are involved? So...... The last person who stopped me from killing Dan Ding was someone from the police? Trying to remember the last scene before he fell unconscious, the only thing Robin could remember was his right hand with the scarlet snake coat of arms tattooed on the back of his hand.
Although Robin was seriously injured when he stabbed the last stab, Robin had done his best at that time, so even if his strength and speed were weakened compared to when he was at his peak, it was not something that ordinary people could easily stop. Therefore, the sword that can stop him proves that the person who stops him has at least the strength to fight him.
And with Robin's knowledge of the Othello police system, no police officer would have this level of personal strength except for Arnold, who had died in his hands.
"Who the hell is ......?"
Just when Robin was extremely entangled because he failed to kill Danding, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Oh~ Mr. Robin, you woke up so quickly, I thought it would take you another hour to wake up."
“……”
Raising his head sharply, Robin saw a man with thin cheeks and narrow eyeliner walking towards him. Behind him, a tall, thin man in a scarlet coat looked at Robin with a complicated gaze.
The other party's unfamiliar appearance made Robin unable to remember whether he had ever seen him, and after a little hesitation, Robin frowned and asked, "Are you ......?"
"Forgot to introduce myself, I'm the new owner of the Hermes spaceport, Eugene? Mellon. "A polite handshake with Robin, Eugene? Mellon suddenly smiled slightly: "By the way, the bar you destroyed is also an industry under my name." ”
“……”
Eugene? Mellon, the appearance of this name made Robin tense involuntarily.
While Robin has never had direct sexual contact with Eugene, that doesn't mean Robin hasn't heard of Eugene? Mellon's name.
In the Federation, maybe there are people who don't know about Anse Els? Osvid, but there won't be anyone who doesn't know Eugene? Mellon.
As the fourth-generation power holder of the Mellon family of the black gold family, Eugene? Mellon is an excellent synonym for cruelty, insidiousness. As early as when Robin investigated the various materials of the top ten wealthy families in the Federation, he had heard a lot about Eugene? Mellon's vicious rumors. However, in this situation, it wasn't Eugene who really made Robin nervous? Mellon's past evil, but his surprising friendliness at the moment.
Eugene? Mellon is definitely not a guy who is used to smiling at people, even within the family, he has always looked at people with a cold, cruel face. And such a tyrant in the underworld would show kindness to himself for destroying his estate, so Robin has to be wary of Eugene? The motivation behind Mellon's move.
As far as Robin knows, not so long ago Eugene? The first move Mellon made after arriving in Proxima Centauri was to take over the Mellon's various industries in Proxima Centauri, and Kimberly, who had cooperated with Robin? Mellon, on the other hand, suddenly disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated from the world. Now, Eugene? Mellon's acquisition of the Hermes spaceport and many of its properties proves that the Mellon family is shifting its strategic focus to Proxima Centauri. Mellon and Anse Elle? The rumor that Osveld had a very good personal relationship now seems to be true.
"Could it be that Ansel is behind this?"
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Robin's heart. He had long expected that Ansair might guess that he would come to Dandin, but he didn't expect Ansair to arrange Eugene? Such a heavyweight as Mellon came to himself directly.
Just as Robin was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed the golden serpentine stripe on Eugene's neckline and the scarlet serpentine crest worn by Golan behind him.
"It's him~"
The pattern of the figure immediately overlapped with the fragmentary memory in Robin's mind. Now, he was pretty sure that the person who prevented him from killing Dan Ding was none other than Eugene? Mellon, and the person who did it, should be standing in Eugene? Golan behind Mellon.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mellon." Since it is still not clear that Eugene? Mellon's plan, Robin said tentatively: "Because I can't restrain my emotions for a while, your industry has suffered a huge loss." I am willing to compensate for the loss caused by me, you can ...... the bill"
"No, no. I'm not here to ask you for such a small amount of money. Eugene interrupted Robin bluntly, sat down next to Robin, and said, "Because of you, I enjoyed a good fight, and I think it's worth it to pay for a bar, so you don't need to pay me any compensation." And I have already explained this to the police, so you don't have to worry about the police prosecuting you and affecting your reputation. After your companion recovers, you can leave without it. ”
"......" Eugene's generosity made Robin more and more vigilant, but the information he mentioned about Zoro made Robin more concerned: "My companion ......"
"He was seriously injured, but after being treated by medical staff, his condition has stabilized and he is sure to wake up soon."
Hearing Zhuo Luo's situation, Robin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, in the process of fighting Dante, Robin, who was so engrossed, had no time to pay attention to Zoro's situation, so he didn't know the outcome of Zolo's battle with Carmen at all. If it weren't for Eugene's mention of Zolo's serious injury at this moment, Robin would have thought that Zolo had been detained by the police because they had violated the law of the peace, but he didn't expect that Zoro was also seriously injured in this battle.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Mellon." Expressing his gratitude to Eugene, Robin tried to ask, "So, what is happening to the people who clashed with us?" ”
"They are newly recruited recruits from the Steel Rhine mercenaries. According to the investigation, before the conflict with you, a bloody clash broke out with the saber-toothed mercenaries in the bar. Now, they are being interrogated by the police, and I think the police will allow you to ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
