"It's like your style." Kapro clapped his fingers on the table and said, "I don't think I have such a pawn by my side, right?" ”

"Absolutely not, if we don't even have this bit of sincerity, then our alliance is too fragile." Vincent said lightly: "The purpose of our Light Hidden Society is to hide in the shadows and control the course of the world. It's in line with our purpose to do things like this, and if it weren't for some accident, we wouldn't be exposed to the sun. Now, it's just the way it used to be. ”

"The best thing about this plan is that the Sword of Dawn is a weapon of the Federation. Even if he can't kill that man, I think Mobit will not know how to explain it to him afterwards. When the time comes, they become suspicious, and we can take advantage of the opportunity. Induce, subvert, and finally bring down the Federation! ”

Kapro narrowed his eyes, stood up, and said, "If I were just a federal marshal, I would never agree to such a thing. It's a shame to use a space weapon against a strong man, but now I still have to be accountable to my army and people. So, I will support this plan. ”

Vincent laughed, "It's not enough, Marshal Capro, I need to see something substantial. ”

"For example?" Kapro raised an eyebrow.

"For example, I need a team of golden lions to protect me at all times, and of course, these people must get rid of the golden lion logo. What do you think? ”

"Then what do you think is the so-called elite standard?"

"The captain must be at least at the level of a major general, and all the team members should be colonels, so they can be called elite."

Capro laughed, "You don't have a small appetite, Vincent. It's basically the same as my guards. Okay, if you want someone, I'll give it to you. ”

It was clear to Capro that Vincent was doing this to add some security to his cooperation. If Capro repents or betrays the Alliance, then this team will definitely be in the hands of the Federation, and Vincent will have enough evidence to prove that they are Capuro's people, and Capro will certainly not be able to get out of it at that time.

However, Capro is not a fool, and after agreeing to Vincent's request, he said: "Courtesy, Mr. Vincent, should you also tell me who is the chess piece that can use the star rail cannon?" ”

Vincent smiled: "The director of the Space Defense Agency, and the deputy designer of the Sword of Dawn, Lovesford, Marshal Capro should be no stranger."

”

"Is that him?" Kapro was stunned, nodded and said, "This chess piece is buried very deeply, and even the Space Administration has your people." If it were him, he would have been able to manipulate the Sword of Dawn. But in this way, he is not exposed. ”

Vincent laughed and said, "Don't worry, when it was designed, Lovesford installed a backdoor in the system of the Sword of Dawn, which can bypass the activation system and permission requirements of the Space Agency." After using it, this back door will disappear on its own, and Lovesford is now on vacation, who will associate him with him when you say it? ”

"Since you have planned so carefully, then I have nothing more to say, so I wish you success in your plan. In addition, the person you want will be delivered in the afternoon, so you will say goodbye first. ”

After watching Capro stride away, Vincent and Warry smiled at each other.

At noon, a spaceship landed at the berthing at the Bescord family base. Alan came down from the deck, and Leon said loudly in the cabin above: "The day after tomorrow is the day of negotiation, let's see you then, have a good two days, brother." ”

Alan nodded with a smile.

There was already a flying car waiting for him in the harbor, and Alan got into the flying car, and the car drove to the family house. In the small square, you can see several speeding cars parked, and it seems that visitors are coming. Before Alan entered the building, the housekeeper who got the news, Helsing, had already walked out and said with a smile: "Young Master Allen, you are back." ”

"Well, Mr. Helsing, do we have guests?"

Helsing nodded, "Mr. Kate and his son from the Morson family have come to visit, and Mr. Hughton has also come."

”

Hearing that Hughton was also coming, Allen's eyes immediately lit up. When he first arrived in Babylon, it was Hughton who was in charge of guiding him. After that, he taught him the knowledge of the magic energy sequence, which can be said to be his first teacher. And Hughton's granddaughter Vera also went on an expedition with Allen, and the relationship was naturally deep. Now ask, "Where are they?" ”

"Mr. Kate, they are in the study, and Mr. Hughton is in the cellar."

The cellar was just behind the main building, and when Alan arrived, the sun fell on the cellar door. The dust dances lightly in the sun, and it seems so quiet. Alan couldn't help but breathe lightly, as if breathing hard would disturb the silence. He pushed open the door of the cellar, and Hugh's voice sounded in the door: "I said, Steward Helsing, why are you all wines of a short age?" Babylon is gone, but I know that you have many wineries on the surface. It's too stingy to hide good sake like this. ”

Alan listened to the voice, walked past a row of shelves, and saw an old man with his back to him, squatting on the ground and picking something. While looking for it, he complained, and when he heard footsteps, the old man turned his head. Eren walked out into the sunlight at the window and saw his face clearly, Hugh was stunned.

"Mr. Hughton." Alan smiled, "Are you okay?" ”

Unexpectedly, Hughton stood up suddenly, pounced at once, grabbed Allen's collar and said, "Bastard boy, you're finally back." What about my Vera, has she returned? Is she doing well on Celestial Star? Did anyone bully her? Is she in love? Damn, I haven't seen her in a long time! ”

A series of questions bombarded Allen's head, and he finally came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Vera didn't come back, but I promise she's doing well on the Heavenly Star." If you wish, I will let Grandpa arrange for you to visit him on the heavenly planet. Even, you can move to Paradise Star, and then you don't have to be separated from Vera from now on. ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

Hueton let him go and laughed, "You kid can be a man, that's good, kid." I heard that after you came back, even the old fellow Kapro taught him a lesson, and when you tell people that I am your teacher, then I also feel very embarrassed. ”

"I'm so happy today, I must drink!" Hughton looked at the bottles of good wine, licked his lips and said, "Of course you Bethcord are in for a treat!" ”

"It should be, it should be."

As a result, Hughton got drunk directly that afternoon. It was Alan who carried him back to the guest room, and listening to the old man's snoring, Alan seemed to return to the day when he first arrived in Babylon. When he saw Hughton, the retired veteran of the Federation was drunk.

It's just that time flies, and in a blink of an eye, he is no longer the ignorant teenager he was at the beginning, and there are many more wrinkles on Hughton's face.

Exiting from the guest room, Heating's butler informed him that Horn was waiting for him in the study. When Alan arrived in the study, Kate and his son said goodbye and left. Seeing Adele's grandfather, Alan nodded in acknowledgment, "Good afternoon, Mr. Kate." ”

Old Kate held Allen's hand affectionately and said, "I heard that you had some trouble on the surface yesterday, and Adele complained when she came back that she knew that she should have brought a sniper rifle with her, is it okay?" ”

Because of Kate's relationship with Horn, Alan has always regarded him as an elder. And his concern is also from the bottom of his heart, not the kind of superficial contrived. Alan shook his head at the moment and said, "Youlao cares, it's just a trivial matter." ”

The Smiths announced the operation against Leon without mentioning the foreshadowing in Beer City, so Kate Sr. did not know the connection between the two events. Alan didn't explain, and old Kate just thought it was a trivial matter, let go of Alan's hand and said, "Go in, your grandfather is waiting, I won't delay your time, come to my house to play when you have time, Alan." ”

"I will."

After seeing the old Kate father and son leave, Alan knocked on the door of the study, and only after Horn said "come in" sounded in the door, he pushed the door in. After Horn stepped down as head of the house, he was much more relaxed now than before. If it was in the past, when I came to the study, I would probably see him looking at documents, or he would be working at the desk. But at this moment, he was standing by the window with a cup of tea, the sunlight outside the window fell on his mottled hair, and the old man's body was still straight and loose, not feeling a little old at all.

"You're back, Alan. Have you met Mr. Hughton? Horn asked, turning around.

Alan nodded: "Teacher, he's already asleep." ”

"Mr. Hughton is drunk again, isn't he? He misses his granddaughter so much. ”

"I have promised the teacher that I will send him to live with Vera in Heaven. But this matter has to be arranged for me by my grandfather. ”

"It's just a small thing, I'll let Roddy do it later. Now that grandpa is no longer the head of the family, many things in the family are handled by your Uncle Roddy, if you have any needs, you can also go directly to him. Horn sighed and said, "I wanted you to inherit this position, which can be regarded as a little compensation for Lannie." But so many things happened after that, and fortunately I didn't. With your current achievements, a mere head of a family is nothing. ”

"No, grandpa." Alan shook his head and said, "No matter what kind of achievements I have, I will never forget that I am Bethcord." ”

"This kid ....." Horn laughed and beckoned Alan to come and sit down. He put down his teacup, pulled over his chair and sat down, and said, "Do you know what old Kate is doing here?" ”

Alan shook his head honestly.

"They want to marry us."

"Marriage?"

Horn nodded: "It's Adele, old Kate thinks it's time to find a home for his most precious granddaughter." The ideal object, of course, is you. ”

Alan hurriedly said, "No, grandpa." I feel like a sister to Adele, and between the two of us, I don't feel that way. ”

Horn laughed, "Old Kate said the same thing, he asked Adele and got almost the same answer. So the object of this marriage is not you, but Reina. ”

"Reina?"
