Chapter 1728 Chess Pieces
"This kind of thing really looks like your style." Capro said with his fingers on the table, "Can't there be such chess pieces around me, right?"
"Absolutely, if we don't even have this sincerity, then our alliance will seem too fragile." Vincent said lightly: "The purpose of our Light and Hidden Association is to hide in the shadows and influence the progress of the world. Such a way of doing things is in line with our purpose. If it weren't for some accidents, we wouldn't be exposed to the sun. Now, we are just doing things in the past."
"The best thing about this plan is that the Sword of Dawn is a weapon of the Federation. Even if it is impossible to kill that man, afterwards, I think Mobit just doesn't know how to explain this to him. At that time, they will feel suspicious and we can take the opportunity to induce, subvert, and eventually destroy the Federation!"
Capro narrowed his eyes and stood up and said, "If I were just a Federal Marshal, I would never agree to such a thing. Using space weapons to deal with a strong man is a shame, but now I still need to be responsible to my army and people. So, I will support this plan."
Vincent laughed: "It's not enough to just say it. Marshal Capro, I need to see something substantial."
"For example?" Capro raised his eyebrows.
"For example, I need a team of golden lions to protect me at all times, and of course, these people have to get rid of the relevant signs of golden lions. What do you think?"
"Then do you think the so-called elite standard?"
"The captain should be at least at the level of a major general, and all the players should be colonels, so they can be called elite."
Capro laughed: "You have a big appetite, Vincent. This configuration is basically no different from my guards. OK, if you want someone, I'll give it to you."
Capro knew very well that Vincent did this to add some guarantees with his cooperation. If Capro regretted it or committed acts to betray the alliance, then the team would definitely be handed over to the federal government, and Vincent would have enough evidence to prove that they were Capro's people, and Capro would of course not be able to escape the relationship at that time.
But Capro was not a fool either. After agreeing to Vincent's request, he said, "Reciprocity, Mr. Vincent, should you tell me who is the piece that can use the star-rail cannon?"
Vincent smiled and said, "Marson Capro should be familiar with the head of the General Administration of Space Defense and the deputy designer of the Sword of Dawn."
"Is it him?" Capro was stunned and nodded, "This piece was buried very deeply, and even the Space Administration had your people. If it were him, he could control the Sword of Dawn. But in this way, wouldn't he be exposed?"
Vincent laughed and said, "Don't worry. When designing it, Lowaysford installed a back door in the Dawn Sword system, which can bypass the activation system and permission requirements of the General Administration of Space. After use, the back door will disappear on its own. Lowaysford is now on vacation. Who will associate it when you say it?"
"Since you have planned so carefully, I have nothing to say. I wish you success. In addition, the person you want will be delivered in the afternoon, so I will say goodbye first."
After watching Capro leave with great strides, Vincent and Vorry smiled.
At noon, a flight ship landed at the berth port of Bethcod family base. Allen got off the deck, and Leon shouted in the upper cabin: "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. Let's see you again. Have fun for two days, brother."
Allen nodded with a smile.
There was already a speed car waiting for him in the port. Alan got into the speed car and drove to the family house. In the small square, you could see several speed cars parked, as if visitors had arrived. Before Alan entered the building, the butler Hessing, who had received the news, had already walked out and smiled and said, "Master Alan, you are back."
"Well, Mr. Helsing, do we have guests?"
Hessing nodded and said, "Mr. Kate and his son are here to visit, and Mr. Hugton are here."
When he heard that Hugton had come, Alan's eyes immediately lit up. When he first arrived in Babylon, Hugton was responsible for guiding him. Later, he taught him the knowledge of magic sequences, which can be said to be his first teacher. Moreover, Hugton's granddaughter Vera was also expeditioning with Alan, and his feelings were naturally deep. He asked now: "Where are they?"
"Mr. Kate and the others were in the study with the master, while Mr. Hugton was in the wine cellar."
The wine cellar was just behind the main building. When Allen arrived, the sunlight fell on the door of the wine cellar. The dust danced lightly in the sun, and it seemed so quiet. Allen couldn't help but breathe lightly, as if breathing hard would disturb the silence. He pushed open the door of the wine cellar, and the sound of Houton sounded from the door: "I said to Butler Hensing, why are you all wines of not much age? Although Babylon is gone, I know that you have many wineries on the surface. It's too stingy to hide the good wine like this."
As Allen listened to the sound, walking past a row of shelves, he saw an old man squatting on the ground and choosing something. While searching, complaining, and hearing the footsteps, the old man turned around. Alan walked to the sunlight in the window and saw his face clearly, Hütton was stunned.
"Teacher Houton." Allen smiled, "Are you in good health?"
Unexpectedly, Hugton suddenly stood up, rushed over, caught Allen's neckline and said, "Bastard, you are finally back. Where is my Vera, has she been back? Is she doing well on Paradise Star? Is anyone bullying her? Has she been in love? Damn, I haven't seen her for a long time!"
A series of problems bombarded Alan dizzy. He finally came to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Villa has not come back, but I promise she has a good life on Paradise. If you want, I will ask my grandfather to arrange it for you to visit him on Paradise. You can even move to Paradise, so you won't have to separate from Vera from then on."
"real?"
“It’s true.”
Hütton let him go and laughed: "You guy knows how to be a human being, it's great, boy. I heard that after you came back, even the old guy Caprona gave him a lesson. When I told people that I was your teacher, I felt very proud."
"I'm so happy today, I must drink!" Houton glanced at the bottles of good wine, licked his lips and said, "Of course it's you Bethcod who treats you!"
"It should be, it should be."
As a result, Hutton got drunk that afternoon. It was Alan who carried him back to the guest room. Listening to the old man's snoring, Alan seemed to have returned to the day he had just arrived in Babylon. When he saw Hutton, the retired federal veteran was drunk.
But time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, he was no longer the ignorant boy he used to be. There were a lot more wrinkles on Houtun's face.
After exiting from the guest room, the housekeeper Hensing informed him that Horn was waiting for him in the study. When Allen arrived at the study, Kate and his son were leaving. Seeing Adele's grandfather, Allen nodded and greeted: "Good afternoon, Mr. Kate."
Old Kate held Allen's hand affectionately and said, "I heard that you encountered some minor trouble on the surface yesterday. After Adeer came back, he complained that he had known that he should have brought the sniper rifle, is it okay?"
Because of his relationship with Horn, Allen has always regarded him as an elder. Moreover, his concern comes from the heart, not the kind of artificial appearance. Allen shook his head and said, "I have to care for you, just a little thing."
The Smiths announced the action against Leon, but did not mention the foreshadowing in the beer city, so Old Kate did not know the relationship between these two things. Alan did not explain, and Old Kate just regarded it as a small matter, let go of Allen's hand and said, "Go in, your grandfather is waiting, I won't waste your time. Come to my house to play when you have time, Allen."
"I will."
After watching the old Kate and his son leave, Allen knocked on the door of the study. After Horn said "come in" in the door, he pushed the door in. After Horn took off his post as head of the family, he now seemed much more leisurely than before. If it were the past, when he came to the study, he would probably see him reviewing documents or working at his desk. But at this moment, he was standing by the window holding a cup of tea. The sunlight outside the window fell on his mottled hair. The old man's body was still as straight as a slack, and he did not feel a little old.
"You're back, Allen. Have you met Mr. Hugton?" Horn turned around and asked.
Allen nodded: "Teacher, he is asleep."
"Mr. Hugton is drunk again? He misses his granddaughter so much."
"I have promised the teacher that I will send him to Heaven Star to live with Vera. But grandpa will have to arrange this for me."
"This is just a small matter. I will ask Roddy to do it later. Now my grandfather is no longer the head of the family. Many things in your family are handled by your Uncle Roddy. If you have any needs, you can go directly to him." Horn sighed and said, "I wanted you to inherit this position at the beginning, which was also a little compensation for Lannie. Unexpectedly, so many things happened afterwards, and fortunately, I didn't do it. With your current achievements, a mere head of the family is nothing."
"No, grandpa." Allen shook his head, "no matter what kind of achievements I have, I will never forget that I am Bethcod."
"This kid" Horn laughed, waved his hand, and asked Allen to come and sit down. He put down the teacup, pulled over the chair and sat down and said, "Do you know what Old Kate and the others are doing?"
Allen shook his head honestly.
"They want to marry us."
"Marriage?"
Horn nodded: "It's Adele. Old Kate thinks he should find a home for his most precious granddaughter. The ideal partner is of course you."
Allen hurriedly said, "No, grandpa. I feel like a sister to Adele, and there is no such feeling between us."
Horn laughed: "Old Kate said the same thing. He asked Adele and got almost the same answer. So the partner of this marriage is not you, but Reiner."
"Renner?"
