Back at his residence, Alstey walked into the bedroom. He lay on his bed and turned the handle of the low cabinet at the head of the bed. The floor under the bed suddenly sank, and the end of the bed was tilted downward, and there was a secret passage under the floor. When the bed was tilted at 45 degrees, Alstey slid into the secret passage without any effort. The sensing light of the secret passage lit up, and walking through a not-too-long passage, the fat minister came to the end of the secret passage.

A titanium alloy door blocked the way. After entering a series of passwords, the alloy door slid inward and then slid from the left to reveal a spacious space behind. Alstai walked in. This was a hidden basement, with thick and long cables laid on the ground and extending forward. The end was a metal base with a barrel-like biochemical tank on it.

The biochemical tank was filled with light blue biochemical base fluid, and bubbles kept rising from the base, and a figure floated there. It was a man, wearing only a pair of shorts, and his strong upper body had several obvious scars. A mask was buckled on his face, which was connected to the oxygen machine and other equipment at the top. Its function was to maintain oxygen supply and monitor the life characteristics of men.

Alstey walked to the front of the biochemical tank, looked at the various readings on the electronic board, and nodded. The man in the biochemical tank seemed to feel his arrival, and the closed eyes under the mask suddenly opened, and then a voice sounded from the walkie-talkie next to him: "Did you tell Horn about that?"

"Well, he is calmer than I thought. I thought he would be furious." Alstae sighed: "Originally, the ideal was to stop Alan through our power, but even the clown wanted to get involved in the power of the Son of Dusk, so I could only do this."

"If Old Horn knew that his old friend was actually an important member of the Light Invisible Society, his expression would be very exciting." The man in the biochemical tank said in a sarcastic tone.

"Do you want to say I'm using Horn? Even so, I don't think I'm doing something wrong. The purpose of the Light Horn Association is to observe and guide. Now Alan's behavior has begun to get out of control, and the clowns and the others have to interfere. They have all deviated from the original intention of the establishment of the organization. I just corrected the impact they brought. As for Horn, I know he cares about Allen very much. Although there is a part of the compensation mentality in it, you cannot deny that Allen's importance is increasing day by day. No matter what purpose, Horn will not allow his most promising family members to be treated like this."

"But you also know that once Horn intervenes, things will be out of control. Alstai, use your mind to think about the consequences of doing so. Perhaps after today, the Federation will be broken down by your hasty decision!"

Alstai laughed: "It's strange, you should be the one who is not qualified to blame me for this matter. But you don't have to worry too much. I know Horn too much. He can act, but there are limits to his actions."

"You are really his good friend!"

"Of course. In fact, I hesitated for a night before making this decision. Because I really couldn't think of anyone who could reverse the situation except Horn. What's important is that I don't have time to continue thinking. Horn is my good friend, and it was, and in the future, and there will be no change in this. It's just that my position determines that I can't just stand in the position of a friend and think about it. I need to worry much more than you think." Alstay gently tapped the biochemical tank: "Anyway, I will rescue Alan Bethcod, no matter what method I use."

"What about me, when are you going to let me out!"

"You need to recover."

"My injury has been cured long ago!"

Alstai sighed: "It's not the time, my friend. You have to be patient. When the world needs you, I promise to let you get out of this place."

"When is that, is the end of the world?"

"Maybe, who knows." Waving his hand, Alstai walked back.

Bubbles surged in the biochemical tank, and the eyes under the mask were angry, but the man was helpless.

Ugal Castle.

Horn sat quietly in his position, hiding the crutch of the famous sword Qiuyan on his knee. He folded his hands and gently placed it on the crutch, as if he could feel the sharpness and aspiration of Qiuyan's thin blade as thin as a cicada. A central light screen opened in front of him, and figures appeared one after another in the screen. These were all important members of Bethkod. Among them were the eldest son Rody, Elder Tyre, Edric and a dozen others. These people gathered together and were members of Bethkod's Presbyterian Church.

Looking at them, Horn sighed softly.

After everyone attended this temporary video conference, Roddy was the first to ask: "Father, is there something wrong with calling us so urgently?"

"There are some things to be announced." Horn looked at these people and said, "Everyone, what is to be announced next may be too hasty, and you will be confused or even angry. But I want to ask you to believe that all this is a decision made for the future of the family."

Tyer coughed lightly and said, "Just say it, Master Clan. I think everyone here has experienced strong storms. Even if we want to use force with the Federation, we will not frown."

Everyone agreed.

Horn shook his head: "No, I want to declare that it is another thing entirely. Then, next, witness by all members of the Presbyterian Bethcod. From this moment on, I will no longer be the patriarch of Bethcod. I will even remove myself from the name of my name. When I walk out of this door, I will no longer be a member of Bethcod. As for the position of patriarch, I want to hand it over to Roddy for a temporary replacement, and he will take care of the family affairs on my behalf..."

"What?"

"What's going on?"

Roddy shouted, "God, Father, what are you talking about? How can this be done? Wait, what happened to make you make such a decision?"

Other elders also asked, and Horn suddenly announced his abdication and exile himself. This decision was even more surprising than going to war with the Federation. Facing one face with different expressions, Horn stood up and said in a deep voice: "I really hope to explain it to you, but now I have no time. I must leave immediately. As for the reason, I have asked the housekeeper Helsing to sort out a specific written document, which will be sent to you by him."

"It's the same thing as before. Please believe me. I made such a decision and consider the future of the family." Horn nodded: "That's it, gentlemen, I hope there is still a chance to meet."

After saying that, he left the conference room.

Outside the room, the housekeeper Hessing looked at Horn and said, "Master, I have done what you have told me. Are you sending the information to the young master and other elders now?"

"No, send it to Roddy first. I'll send it to Thiel and the others tomorrow. If I send it together, they won't be furious." Horn smiled slightly and said, "Butler Hensing, thank you for your hard work over the years. Many times I'm not a competent manager, and this time it's the same. I'm sure it's a headache for you over the years."

Hessing trembled and bent down and bowed, "It is my honor to be able to serve the master."

"No matter what, in my heart, you are one of my most important friends. These words were kept in my heart before because they were inconvenient to say them. But today I finally could say them, and I realized that it was not as difficult as I thought. OK, is my flight ship ready?"

"Already on standby in the square."

Horn helped the old housekeeper up and said lightly: "I don't have to send it this time, goodbye."

"Master!" Hessing wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back and nodded, "Be careful about everything."

Horn turned around and strided away.

He met Anna in the lobby downstairs. Anna, who was still wearing a suit, held her hands in her arms, looked at Horn's eyes and said, "Master, must you go?"

"Ten years ago, Lanny left me. I did nothing, and eventually lost him forever." Horn kept walking: "So today, I can't lose Allen anymore. No matter what son of the evening or a prisoner of the Federation, I only know that he is my family! No one can treat my Horn family like pigs and sheep, nor can the federal president do it!"

"But you have other family members."

"So I exile myself." Horn paused and looked at his warrior: "Allen, I want to save, but at the same time I can't let the Federation have a handle because of this. Now Horn is only Horn, and even if what will happen today has nothing to do with Bethcod. If you understand, please get out of here, Anna."

"I won't get out of the way." Anna smiled: "Because I have to go with you, Master. Anna will always be Horn's secret warrior, and it has nothing to do with his identity, just because he is Horn."

"I don't allow you to do this, you still have children." Horn shook his head.

"I know, but don't worry, I have arranged everything. Anna said in a deep voice: "I am a mother, but before I became a mother, I was already the master's warrior. Wherever the master goes, I will naturally be there. Even if you want to go to darkness, I will follow."

"This is my warrior's way!"

Horn glanced at her deeply, nodded and said, "Then come on, time is not waiting for anyone."

That afternoon, the Federal Intelligence Service found an unmarked flight ship set out from the Ugal Castle and did not register its destination with the Federal Control Bureau, so it left Babylon. The Federation immediately sent a fast combat ship to intercept it, but it ruthlessly attacked the other party. When Alan received the notice, the Intelligence Service had lost the trace of the flight ship.

On the same day, Ugal Castle issued a statement in the name of Horn, announcing that Horn had handed over the position of patriarch Bethkod and expelled himself from the family, and had no relationship with Bethkod again. When this statement was released through the media, the entire Babylon seemed to have experienced a strong shock, and everyone was puzzled by Horn's decision. Only a very small number of people knew the profound meaning behind this statement.

Alstai is definitely one of them. When he received the news, he just poured himself a glass of wine. After hearing this news, he drank it all, but felt that the delicious wine that was usually delicious has become extremely bitter today.
