Chapter Seventy-Three: The Clown
Being scolded by Thangka like this made Jackman's already not good-looking face even more ugly.
"Father.... Father. β
"Don't call me father!"
Thangka said sharply, his voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating.
"It is already very embarrassing to take such a group of second ancestors to a star's concert and be caught by pirates, and make such a big fuss.
is also instigated by this low-level sowing discord, which is simply a shame for the Thangka family!! β
"Pick.... Sow discord? Jackman was puzzled.
Burke, who was sitting in an ambulance on one side, was lost in thought.
"The Principality of Bahram has nearly a trillion dollars of trade with us, are they full of food and support to kidnap you, then beat you, and then release you?"
Jackman was silent for a moment, "That second son of Duke Bahram seems to be in a state of his own right. β
"Then it's not Hain Bahram!" Thangka said angrily.
"But... But who is that?" Jackman was hard to take.
"Who is the enemy of Bahram Gong? Who can benefit from this? β
After Thangka's reminder, Jackman finally realized something at this moment, and he said with an ugly face.
"Is it Helios?"
Thangka's brow furrowed, and he snorted softly, "It's not hopelessly stupid." β
"Is that all?" Jackman said a little unwillingly.
"Do you have proof?" Thangka said.
Jackman shook his head.
"Without evidence, we can't do anything about the Duchy of Helios at the official level."
After a pause, he said.
"Before you were kidnapped by those pirates, news came from the Duchy of Bahram that the Duke of Bahram was dead."
"What?" Jackman's face changed.
The faces of those who were being treated by nurses around them also turned very bright.
"This.... How is this possible? Jackman was incredulous.
"Nothing is impossible." "The man I sent back to report to me that the entire sand of Behram had crystallized by the heat.
They burned the entire star of Bahram into a single glass. β
"Yes.... Helios? Jackman had fear in his eyes.
Thangka looked serious, "Yes, so now the Duchy of Bahram is fighting with Helios like crazy, and the merchant ships of the nearby space route are bright."
The military studied the limited intelligence, and this surprise battle, whether it was the technique or the final result, as well as the misjudgment of the other side, was enough to be compiled into the textbook of the military academy and used as a positive and negative teaching material.
More than once, they praised the commander for being able to make a surprise attack on the enemy's capital in such a extreme environment.
Both the heart and the courage are excellent.
Even, if it weren't for Shasso's death in the stars, they might have thought that this was Helios' trap. β
"Who's in command?" Jackman asked.
"The statement released by Helios said that it was the only son of the Duke of Helios, Charian Helios.
They said that Xia Suo Gong died at the hands of the Duke of Bahram, and that the revenge of his father was not shared with the heavens, and that his son bombed the star of Bahram to complete his revenge, which was justified.
Some people in the empire talk about revenge and revenge, and the son avenges his father, which has gained some public support, but there are also some people who think that he is too cruel, and there are many innocent people on Bahram. β
"Charian Helios." Jackman pondered the name, and the image of Hain Bahram who had pinned them all to the corner and beat them all came to mind.
There was a slightly complicated look in Thangka's eyes.
"If it's really him, this young man, will be more powerful than everyone imagined."
Almost at the same time, you were captured by pirates.
Do you think it's a coincidence? β
[It's a coincidence.] Xia Lian, who was watching this scene from the side, thought to himself.
Jackman seemed to realize something, his breath trembling slightly, "What do you mean..."
"Our cooperation with the Principality of Bahram may have been known to him for a long time."
Thangka muttered softly.
"They took you and could have killed you, but they sent you back after a beating to tell us something.
They can arrest you and arrest me, and at that time, it will not be as simple as a beating.
Bahram is the end. β
There was a deep fear in Thangka's eyes.
"It's a warning."
"Is he really that bold?" Jackman said, "It's not enough to anger Bahram, but to provoke a new Federation?" β
"So he just beat you up, not kill you.
But if our ghost fleet enters their territory.
It means that we will go to war against him, and he will definitely choose to fight back. β
"I don't believe he's really so powerful, daring to break into our core star region!" Jackman said angrily, "Isn't it the Qui Starship!?" It's not without weaknesses!? As long as we're ready, let's call it a come-and-go! β
"With the level of damage of the Kui starship, it shouldn't be able to go far, according to common sense, with the Principality of Bahram and our day's search, even if it is not discovered by us these days, it should be detected by various detectors.
However, it was as if it had disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Neither the energy reaction nor the warp reaction does not exist. β
Thangka's face was very serious.
"As long as it's not found, it's a threat to us for a day."
After a pause, he continued, "He has not returned to the Duchy of Helios yet.
According to the Duchy of Bahram, they have blocked all avenues by which they can return to the Duchy of Helios.
At the same time, they are trying to convey a message to Helios that Charian has died at their hands.
And until we are ready to respond to the internal response of Helios and launch a coup d'Γ©tat, we must keep our mouths shut.
Otherwise, once the people of Helios know that their future Grand Duke is still alive, this coup has little chance of success.
If we attack Helios, we will send a message to the Duchy of Helios that he is alive.
That's exactly what he wants. β
Jackman's face was cloudy, "So, in order to be as happy as he wants, we even have to keep silent?" β
"It's a conspirator." Thangkadao.
"And, the key question now is, how did he know about your whereabouts, our cooperation with the Duchy of Bahram?"
"Your son told the pirates, and the pirates told me. Xia Lian thought to himself.
Suddenly, Jackman seemed to realize something, and there was a chill behind him, and his eyes were a little frightened when he looked at Thangka.
"Get in the car, everything, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Jackman bowed his head and got into the car, while the rest of the group was picked up by the people who arrived one after another.
Xia Lian silently got up from the mechanical console and complained, "This thangka is very smart, but not much. β
"What did they think? Why are you so scared? Mercury asked.
"They think those pirates are in league with us." Xia Lian said, "Arresting them on purpose.
And if that's the case, my intelligence sources are terrifying to them.
So, they should now suspect that they have been infiltrated by me. β
Xia Lian sighed, "There are really few really smart people in this world, and there are more people who think they are smart." β
"But they're not as smart as you." Mercury said seriously, "Their reaction is also what you expected, right?"
If they don't realize that you're behind it, then Bahram is in trouble.
If they realize it's you, they'll realize it's a warning.
If they are afraid of you, they will delay their cooperation with Bahram.
If they are arrogant enough to put pressure on Helios despite your threats, then Helios will know that you are alive.
They have no evidence and are limited in what they can do against Helios.
No matter what the other person thinks or does, you have nothing to lose, and whatever choice they make, it will be beneficial to you. β
Xia Lian shrugged.
After a pause, he looked in the direction where Thangka and the others were leaving.
"But.... It seems that the identity of the moth in Helios is bigger than I thought. β
"If you can launch a coup d'Γ©tat, it may also be someone from the Helios family." Mercury said.
"Some clowns who have been kicked out of the game a long time ago always feel that they can get back on stage."
Xia Lian scoffed.
"But a clown is a clown after all, and he will never be on the stage."
