Chapter 298: Betrayal
"That Diego is too hateful, this is on Idahua, I would have killed him eight hundred times!" Lucy said huffingly.
Alan shook his head and smiled: "Diego's heart/strength is like this, and his achievements are limited. This kind of person doesn't need to be ignored, just a quick tongue for a while, what's the use. Grant's family is also a wealthy family, and Diego is not the only young man in the family, how can he not see them swaggering in Babylon, as if he wants to tell others about his own status, and Diego is alone. β
Lucy said hatefully: "A guy like this who can only move his mouth will be thrown to us I don't know how many times to slaughter." From royalty to commoners. If you have strength, what's the use of a false name, at most it's just a false position. β
Adahuaxing has developed so far, with a history of more than 10,000 years. Led by the mother star, more than 100 habitable planets in the entire Ghat star field are subordinate, and their power spreads throughout the entire star field. What it relies on is naturally not lip service, but the foundation of Idahuaxing is really built. If there is no such atmosphere of judging heroes by strength from commoners to the royal family, there would be a royal family that has stood for thousands of years without falling.
Behind that, I don't know how many members of the royal family went to the battlefield one after another, and built the foundation of the royal family with their blood and death.
So it's understandable that Lucy looks down on Diego's actions.
The two walked back to the elevator, just as the elevator door opened, a figure flashed inside, almost colliding with Allen. Alan quietly slid back two steps, and immediately saw that this was a handsome young man. The light blue hair like blue waves swayed slightly, and a pair of wonderful eyes that changed color with the light under the bangs reflected Allen's surprised expression, and the corners of the boy's mouth gradually pulled out a slight upward arc.
Then the two of them said at the same time, "It's you!" β
Lucy, who didn't know why, only stared dryly.
Alan recognized the boy, who was a slave who had escaped from the Black Street, a Malitan named Edward. Later, under the packaging of Old Oak Ward's father, he debuted as a soul singer and officially entered the entertainment industry and achieved good results. It's just that Alan never thought that he would meet this superstar who is now worth an unknown amount in the mercenary market.
However, today's Edward is dressed ordinary, presumably to disguise his identity.
Edward put away his smile, "I've found you, Alan." Yes, I finally know your name. Thanks to Willik, otherwise, I wouldn't have known you had formed a hunting group. β
"I want to join your team, Alan!"
Ugal Castle.
At this time of the afternoon, the castle is as quiet as ever. However, Hai Xin, who was standing quietly outside the study, unconsciously wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a handkerchief. As time goes on, the weather gets hotter and hotter, but it's not yet time to sweat. It's just that the oppressive atmosphere coming from the study made Butler Helsing a little breathless, which was the invisible coercion exuded by Horn.
In the study, there is a person who is bearing this invisible power.
Arthur stood to the side with his head bowed and his hands down. He had to try his best to control himself so that he wouldn't go crazy and yell. The sun was shining outside the study window, but the light in the room was very dim. Horn turned his back to the window, leaving only a backlit silhouette. The shadow was like a black hole, coldly and mercilessly absorbing any light into it. The longer he stayed, the more Arthur felt that the darkness was expanding.
It will devour the entire study, including itself.
The light suddenly brightened, and Horn slowly retracted his power, and Arthur breathed a sigh of relief. He was still standing, his heart still beating. Even though it was jumping much faster than usual from the start, it was still jumping.
He's alive.
There was a little smile in Arthur's eyes, and this first step, he finally stepped over.
"Do you know what these materials mean?" Horn spoke, his voice coming from far away, ethereal. It turned into a howling wind that filled Arthur's ears.
The boy nodded.
"Arthur, I always knew you were not a simple child. But when you take this step today, I realize that I have underestimated you a lot. It's not easy for you to do that, but you have to know that if you do it now, there's no going back. Before you make this decision, I don't know, did you ask yourself. Horn said in a deep voice, "Is it worth it?" β
Arthur raised his head and habitually pushed his glasses: "As long as it's for the family, for the sake of grandpa." Everything I do is worth it! β
"Well, I hope you will continue to be loyal to your family. Go down, I'll take care of it. Starting this quarter, increase your family budget by 25%. Well done. Horn waved his hand.
Arthur exited the room, nodded to Heathin's butler, and walked down. When he came out of the hallway, a figure flashed next to him. The girl who was chewing candy in her mouth looked at Arthur happily and wanted to say something, but Arthur shook her head: "Let's go, Nana." There's still a lot to do. β
Butler Helsing walked into the study, Horn leaned sideways and bit his pipe, and said with a distant gaze: "When Luo Wei gave birth to Hadrik, he died, and before he left, I must take care of this youngest son." At that time, Haydrick was born less than a week ago, and he had already lost his biological mother. Later, I remarried Mirajane, and after giving birth to Lanny, I decided not to have any other children. β
"Because I promised Luo Wei to take care of Haydrik for her. Under him, I poured more effort than any of his brothers. Perhaps that's why Haydrick is on this path today. β
Butler Haixin lowered his head: "Master, you shouldn't sue me about this." β
"Mr. Helsing, I believe in you. After all, there are not many people in this castle who can be trusted like you. Horn said, "Go and see where Alan is, I'm going to see him." β
After Helsing left, Horn flicked a silver clock on the table. Moments later, Anna the Blood Scorpion pushed the door open. Horn shoved a file bag under her nose and tapped his finger for her to take a look. Anna poured out the contents of the file bag, which were photographs and a miniature memory. The photo should be taken candidly, and the angle is mostly from the side and back, without exception, no matter where the camera is facing in the photo, there will always be a man in a corner next to it.
Haydrick!
"What is this?" Anna looked up.
"Heydrick leaked Allen's design to Main. In the storage, there is a brief video of him and Main meeting, and the evidence is conclusive. Horn silently bit his pipe.
"Alexander and the Grant family have now formed an alliance, so this plan has probably fallen to the Grant family. No, it should be on Lawrings' desk. Anna put away the things on the table: "Master, what are you going to let me do?" β
"From now on, monitor Haydrick's every move. If...... If he betrays the family again, you can punish him directly, and you don't have to say yes to me. Horn said.
Anna picked up her things, "I see, sir." β
Pushing the door open, Anna glanced towards the study. The study was well-lit, but the figure was a little blurry. The curling smoke blurred not only Horn's face, but also his heart.
Compared to before, Horn's heart is no longer so ruthless. Time will always smooth out some edges and corners, and like Horn, it is no exception. Otherwise, if it was the Horn that Anna knew, even if it was Hydrick. When Lannie ran away from home, Horn could banish her from the family in a fit of rage, with Haydrick's betrayal of the family. If it had been before, Horn would have taken his own hands and taken his life.
How could it be like now, to give Haydrick a chance?
In the afternoon, Alan and Lucy returned to the castle. He had promised to let Edward join, and although the Malitans avoided answering the purpose of joining the hunting group, Edward had wandered many planets, and at the same time possessed a strength of around level 15, coupled with the Malitans' innate ability to influence the minds of others. Having such a member join is also a boost for the hunting group.
It's just that Alan is curious, and with Edward's current popularity in Babylon, his life can be described as worry-free. What made him willing to give up his comfortable life to join a dangerous expedition to the Outlands?
Perhaps, everyone has an inhumane secret in their hearts, right?
As soon as he got out of the car, Hexin stepped forward: "Master Allen, the master is looking for you." β
Alan nodded, told Lucy to go back first, and followed Helsing to the study. In the study, Horn said, "I just got the latest news, your design plan has been leaked, and Lawrins has probably got your plan." Don't ask, and don't go after the source. Now the question is how we can remedy it. β
Alan glanced at Horn deeply before he said, "I have reserved some key numbers and the most important fusion matrix before. These related numbers on the design plan are just a faΓ§ade. Because they don't affect the normal number collection, I didn't specifically notify the testers at the factory, but Mr. Huton knew. β
"As long as the collection is completed, the parts of the magic energy armament will be delivered. The most critical fusion matrix will be completed and assembled by myself in the castle, so even if the plan is leaked, what they get is at most just an idea. β
Horn listened, obviously relieved. He nodded: "You did a good job, you know with some reservations." Yes, but Alan, you little guy even hid your grandfather, don't you trust me? β
"No, it's just that grandpa has a lot of eyes and ears around him. I think that if you don't even know, it will be more guaranteed that the implementation of the plan will be implemented. Alan replied.
Horn smiled and said, "Then you go down, remember to be depressed when you go out, so that those who have a heart can put down their hearts, but they can't figure out the real details of us." β
"Yes, Grandpa." R1058
