β...... What do you mean? You're going to talk to ...... Emily getting married?" Idoll didn't react for a moment.
Henry nodded and said, "She can be considered a hostage sent to me. β
When Idord heard this, he looked at Dorsis angrily, and he said sharply, "Are you crazy?!Do you really dare to hand Emily over to him?!This guy is a wolf that bites his master!If you can't handle the relationship with this guy, what will you do?!You're going to have to let your daughter make a choice between the two of you?! β
"I know," said Dorsis, "but you also said I didn't have Marklov's ability to control him, did I? β
Idol glanced directly at Henry, and then said, "If this guy could be bound by family affection, he wouldn't be here." β
"It's better for the old man to look at people accurately. Henry smiled with a not very bad mood, and then he continued, "But I can't turn back now, you need to be on my side anyway. Henry's expression froze as he stood up and said, "Since you know that I'm an outlaw now, you should also know what the price of bringing me in is. β
"Guards!" Dorsis shouted at the sight of Henry like this.
The mechanical guards in the room immediately pointed their guns at Dorsis.
"What?!"
"It seems that you still don't know the authority of the Imperial Marshal. Henry said, and there was a faint glow of implants on his raised fist.
"You are now my captives, not just this room, but this mansion, all the things of this United Empire. Henry said, reluctantly, "I need your strength now, and I have no way back." β
Dorsis gritted his teeth when he saw this, he did underestimate the authority of the Imperial Commander-in-Chief, but he did not expect that the Imperial guards would also be influenced by the Internet and obey Henry's orders.
Henry stood in front of Dosse, and the mechanical soldiers behind him were pointing guns at Dosse. This reminded Dorses for a long time of what happened when Henry and Marklov seized power. It was the same that day, when Marklov was pointing a gun at everyone, Henry and his soldiers directly surrounded the mansion, and when he entered, he stuck the dagger in his clothes directly into the table and spoke to everyone like a ship.
At that time, Dorsis regretted in his heart, he hated that he could not find someone like Henry to assist him, and he immediately realized that he could not defeat Marklov and become the next head of the Idol family.
"You two sit down!" said Idolph sharply, "why do you want to bring the barbarism of the lower class here, even though they are both standing on a high place?"
Henry and Dorsis looked at each other, and then they both sat down.
"What the hell is going on with you?" asked Idol, looking at Henry.
"Who do you think would dare to mess with the United Nations but me?" said Henry.
After hearing this, Idol looked at Dorsis, and he said helplessly, "It seems that the wolf you brought is still a wolf that has been hunted by hunters." β
"Here, either you help me, or you are destroyed by me. Henry said.
After the voice was spoken, the whole room became very quiet. The three of them didn't say a word, and a deathly silence enveloped the room.
Eventually, Idol spoke.
"Let's talk about you and Emily. As if giving up, Idol said, "How far have you got?"
"It's nothing, it's just that friends are not yet lovers. β
"What a crazy guy to say you want to marry Emily in this situation?" said Idol with a snort. The sarcasm in that snort was so obvious that it was a denial of Henry's ignorance, and it also contained a mistake for Dorsis's recklessness.
"But I know you'll agree. Henry said, gesturing to the sky, "I don't mind if the talk collapses." But is it really good? Part of my fleet is right in the Sun's star base. β
After hearing this, Idol said with a gloomy face: "Don't you know that the earth is the territory of the United Nations? Do you want to go against the United Nations? The starships in their hands are far more than your current 10,000 warships, and your annihilation-" In the middle of speaking, Idol stopped.
He suddenly remembered that Henry had other armies in his hands. Marklov left Henry a vast legacy before his death - he gave Henry his star field and the entire fleet that had been left behind.
Because Marklov was the head of the Idor family and the supreme agent of the empire, this made the troops in his hands enough to confront the United Nations, and Henry also held a large number of troops before officially joining Marklov, which made Henry the largest warlord in the entire interstellar alliance and even the entire star boundary, and his strength reached an extremely strong point.
To put it bluntly, if there is a war, Henry will not only not be devastated, but will allow him to clear the only deterrent force for external development - the United Nations.
If you can't kill a wolf, sooner or later the wolf will find you and double the damage you've done to it. It's the same with Henry.
Idol was deeply aware that he was not in a position of superiority at all, and the brief harmony he had created before was instantly shattered. It's nothing more than a multiple-choice question, rejecting the devil will invite death, and welcoming the darkness will lead to survival.
Idol really didn't understand why his generation would encounter two great enemies - his youngest son Markoff, and Marklov's best friend Henry Watson Miles. And obviously the latter is more difficult to deal with than the former.
Is this your gift to me, Maklov. Is it to avenge my denial of you back then? But this revenge is too heavy, it is literally killing me.
In the end, Idol could only choose to give up, he nodded and said, "I see, I can now know why you put a gun to your head back then." He looked at Henry, "Underestimating you is my biggest mistake. β
"You're all the same. Henry smiled slightly, then beckoned.
The mechanical guards in the back put their guns down, and they continued to stand guard like guards.
Dorsis was in a cold sweat after this scene, but fortunately, the problem was solved.
Although it can be said that Dorsis led the wolf into the house, it is also an inevitable thing.
Because Marklov appointed Henry as the Commander-in-Chief of the Reich before his death, and the appointment and removal of the Reich Commander-in-Chief had to be done by the same person. If the appointee dies before the Imperial Commander-in-Chief is removed, then the current situation can be considered to be a dangerous situation for the next Supreme Agent of the Empire, according to the provisions of the Covenant, so that the Commander-in-Chief of the Empire can be as powerful in the true sense of the word as the Supreme Agent. After all, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and the commander-in-chief of the empire holds the power of all the troop movements of the entire empire.
Had it not been for Dorses' offer of an alliance with Henry, Henry would have returned to the Empire to fulfill his obligations and reclaim his rights. It's just that Dorsis's alliance gave the Empire, or the Idols, a better option to survive.
Idol looked at his watch and said, "It's not too early, it's time to go to dinner." With that, Idol stood up and walked to the door, supported by Dorsis.
But when he was about to reach the door, Idol suddenly stopped.
He looked back at Henry and asked, "But...... You're the only son in your family, aren't you? What will happen to your family if you come to the Empire and marry Emily? Emily is human, not a mongrel. β
"If I could, I would like toβ"
"That's impossible. As if seeing what Henry was thinking, Idol directly rejected Henry's words, "I will never allow my granddaughter to become like you, and I am also worried that she will be able to withstand the pain of physical changes." And I won't allow a single mongrel in our family. The only thing I can't concede to is this!"
"But as you said, our family may have to be inherited. Moreover, my own constitution also determined that I could not have pure-blood human offspring. β
After thinking for a while, Idol said, "Isn't there a gene inhibitor now? it's okay to buy a few doses, or let your people research it." As for the things in your home...... Your home is your home, as long as there is your blood. β
Dorsis smiled when he heard this, because Idol's words saved his daughter from the danger of "taking the medicine".
"However, the plan you gave me over there is ...... for Emily."
"As long as she doesn't know. Dorsis walked out the door as he spoke, "There are a lot of Karos or mongrels in your army, and I don't believe anyone is not interested in you as the Supreme Commander." β
"Yes, understood. Henry nodded silently.
The three of them then walked out of the conference room.
That evening, the Idor family had a dinner party, and since Dorsis's sister did not return, the atmosphere of the whole dinner party was more harmonious.
Dorses and Vinnie sat together, and Idoll sat at the chair of the long table. Henry and Emily sat together, and they were very close to each other, much closer to each other than Dorses was to Vinnie. There were also some senior executives of the Idor family business and some generals from the war zone, who were sitting somewhere else.
Although Emily didn't act very annoying, the corners of her mouth actually twitched slightly, which was a very uncomfortable sign of her.
It was a pain to have Emily sit next to Henry now, and under the dining table, Henry put his hand directly on Emily's lap. Although Henry didn't behave too much, he was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years. Emily, who had been violated by Henry before, was even more afraid of Henry at this time, not to mention that Henry now had Emily's indecent photos in his hands, which was simply a mortal threat.
At the moment, Emily's heart just wants to take a shower quickly.
Emily had been in the bathtub for almost two hours since she returned to her room, her hands wrinkled.
Raising his glass, Idol said, "It's great to be able to meet my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter today at the United Nations conference, and to see a new guy join our camp. As he spoke, he looked at Henry, "Child, you are welcome to the Empire. β
Henry stood up and picked up his glass and looked at the people around him, then he smiled and said, "It's really emotional to come back here, some people have seen it." Henry nodded to some of the generals. "And now," Henry said as he drank the wine from his glass, "I'm on your side. I know some of you have a grudge, but I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Humanity used to be the great enemy of the United Empire, and we will understand each other in the future. β
Henry placed the empty cup on the table, which he had not intended to pick up again. But Emily, who was sitting next to her, poured her cup to the brim.
For Emily, the grievances and discomfort in her heart are not a reason for her to behave badly on such a big occasion. She must embody her upbringing, even if her heart is broken at the moment. And I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Dorsis called all the attendants to their side, so that there was no one else around Emily and Henry.
Emily poured the wine and felt that she was no different from the waitress who accompanied those big officials in ancient times, serving tea and wine.
As Henry said this, he noticed Emily's actions, and he couldn't help but smile lightly.
He placed his hand lightly on Emily's shoulder, and said, "I will fulfill my last obligation - to make the United Empire perpetuate." β
Everyone present stood up and applauded. When Henry saw this, he raised his glass and said, "For a bright tomorrow!"
"For a bright tomorrow!" everyone raised their glasses and drank from them.
Emily looked surprised because Henry had taken hers away. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Henry and Emily's cup are very close, and Henry does not look carefully where his cup is.
Emily looked at Henry in horror, because she didn't know what Henry would do if he found out that the contents of the glass were juice, and she didn't think Henry was the kind of cultured person.
Henry drank the contents of the cup, and his expression changed slightly, as if he raised an eyebrow.
Eventually, Henry drank the contents of the cup, and he turned it upside down with great boldness, and the soldiers around him did the same.
Emily smiled a little inexplicably, for it seemed to her that Henry was just pretending to be using juice.
But it also made Emily, who was not in a good mood, feel a little more relaxed.
Henry lowered the cup and sat down to chat with Idor and Dorsis while Emily ate in silence.
For her, what Henry told her grandfather and father about the international situation and the future direction were not very important, at this time she was just more concerned about her future results. She felt a little comfortable in the current environment.
While Henry was talking to them, Dorsis steered the conversation to Emily. They talk to Emily about what is going on and what is happening at school.
Emily also slowly adjusted her mood while being asked.
As she was talking, Emily picked up the glass next to her and drank it directly.
But as soon as she took a sip, Emily squirted straight out, and she squirted Henry all over.
Henry was dazzled by this, and he looked at Emily.
"It's ...... Is it wine?" said Emily in surprise.
"It's broken, I forgot to change the cup. Henry looked at his glass and said, "No wonder I always think this glass smells of rouge." Are you alright?"
"It's okay......" Emily coughed and waved her hand.
Henry patted Emily on the back, but it made her shiver directly and subconsciously.
Emily and Henry looked at each other awkwardly, which made Dorses smile and whisper a few words to Vinnie.
Henry saw the uneasiness in Emily's eyes, and turned his head back.
The few people continued to talk for a while, and the generals below began to chat with Henry.
The content of the chat is not a big deal, it is nothing more than a vision of the future of work. Moreover, some generals also have a high opinion of Henry, and some even swore allegiance to Henry on the spot.
This surprised Emily, as Henry's previous actions made her think that Henry was a savage warrior.
But as time passed, Emily's face began to flush slightly. The smell of alcohol in the venue and the alcohol she had drunk before made Emily, who was not very resistant to alcohol, a little drunk.
When Henry saw this, he whispered to Emily and told her to talk to Vinnie about going back to rest.
Emily looked at Henry for a moment, then she nodded slightly.
To be honest, Emily didn't think Henry was such a sweet person at first.
But when she began to ask her parents to go back to rest, Dorsis asked Henry to send her back. This made Emily very sad, and she didn't dare to be alone with Henry.
But there is no way, Henry has accepted the task.
Henry and Emily walked together, and the servants arrived in the banquet hall because of the dinner party, which made the whole corridor quiet.
"You've done well tonight," Henry said suddenly, his tone and content giving Emily a bad feeling, "you deserve to be a well-bred lady." β
Emily glanced at Henry, then said as if resisting, "What the hell are you going to do? What did you tell my parents?!"
Henry stopped and pinched Emily's face with his hand, and he whispered, "You don't have to worry about this, but you look a little disobedient, I hope you will reflect on it tonight." I haven't had time to teach you to obey yet, I'll go to you later, and you'll wash me up and wait for me. β
