Chapter 298: Betrayal

"That Diego is too hateful. If this is on Idahua, I would have killed him eight hundred times!" Lucy said angrily.

Allen shook his head and smiled: "Diego's temperament/capacity is like this, and his achievements are limited. It's worth not paying attention to this kind of person, what's the use of just showing off his tongue for a while. The Grant family is also a wealthy family anyway, and there are not only Diego is a young man, why don't you see them ostentatiously in Babylon, as if they want to tell others their status, and Diego is the only one."

Lucy said bitterly: "This kind of guy who can only talk about it has been thrown to us and slaughtered countless times. From the royal family to the common people. If there is strength, what's the use of a false name? It’s just a false job.”

Ada Huaxing has developed to this day, with a history of more than ten thousand years. Headed by the parent star, more than a hundred livable planets in the entire Gart star field are subordinate, and their influence spreads throughout the entire star field. What is relied on is naturally not lip service, Aida Huaxing's foundation is actually built. If there is no such an atmosphere of going from common people to the royal family and judging heroes by their strength, how can there be a royal family that has stood for thousands of years without falling down.

Behind that, I don't know how many members of the royal family went to the battlefield one after another, using their blood and death to build the cornerstone of the royal family.

So it's understandable that Lucy looked down on what Diego did.

The two walked back to the elevator, just as the elevator door opened, and a figure flashed inside, almost colliding with Allen. Allen slid back two steps calmly, and immediately saw that this was a handsome boy. The light blue hair like blue waves fluttered gently, and a pair of wonderful eyes under the bangs that changed color with the light reflected Alan's surprised expression, and the corner of the boy's mouth gradually pulled out a slightly upward arc.

Then the two said at the same time: "It's you!"

Lucy, who didn't know why, could only stare blankly.

Allen recognized this young man. He was a slave who escaped from the black street, the Maritan man named Edward. Later, under the packaging of Old Oak Ward's father, he debuted as a soul singer, officially entered the entertainment industry and achieved good results. It's just that Allen never thought that he would meet this superstar who is now worth a lot in the mercenary market.

However, today's Edward is dressed in ordinary clothes, presumably to conceal his identity.

Edward put away his smile: "I found you, Alan. Yes, I finally know your name. Thanks to Willick, otherwise, I didn't know you had already formed a hunting group."

"I want to join your team, Alan!"

Ugal Castle.

this afternoon,

The castle was as quiet as usual. However, Haixin, who was standing quietly outside the study, unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. The weather is getting hotter as the days go on, but not enough to break a sweat. It's just that the oppressive atmosphere coming from the study made Butler Haixin a little breathless, it was the invisible coercion exuded by Horn.

In the study room, there was a person bearing this invisible power.

Arthur bowed his head and stood aside with his hands down. He had to try his best to control himself so as not to yell madly. The sun was shining brightly outside the study window, but the light in the room was very bleak. Horn turned his back to the window, leaving only a backlit silhouette. The shadow was like a black hole, mercilessly absorbing any light into it. The longer he stayed, the more Arthur felt that the darkness was expanding.

It will swallow the entire study, including itself.

The light suddenly became brighter, Horn slowly withdrew his power, and Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. He was still standing, his heart was still beating. Although it jumped much faster than usual because of fright, it was still jumping after all.

He is still alive.

There was a little smile in Arthur's eyes, and he finally took this first step.

"Do you know what these materials mean?" Horn spoke, his voice seemed to come from an extremely distant place, illusory. But in an instant, it turned into a howling wind, filling Arthur's ears.

The teenager nodded.

"Arthur, I have always known that you are not an easy child. But when you take this step today, I realize that I have underestimated you a lot. It is not easy for you to do this, but you have to know that now you are so If you do it, there is no turning back. Before you made this decision, I don't know if you have asked yourself." Horn said in a deep voice, "Is it worth it?"

Arthur raised his head and pushed his glasses habitually: "As long as it is for the family, for grandpa. Everything I do is worth it!"

"Well, I hope you will continue to maintain this loyalty to the family. Go on, I will deal with this matter. Starting from this quarter, your family budget will increase by 25%. Do it well." Horn waved his hand.

Arthur exited the room, nodded to Butler Haixin, and then went down. When he went out to the corridor, a figure flashed beside him. The girl who was chewing candy looked at Arthur happily and wanted to say something, but Arthur shook his head: "Let's go, Nana. There are still many things to do."

Butler Haixin walked into the study, and Horn was biting his pipe sideways, and said with distant eyes: "When Luo Wei gave birth to Hedrick, she passed away. Before I left, I must take good care of this youngest son. At that time, Hedrick Less than a week after birth, I lost my biological mother. I later married Mirajan and after Lani was born, I planned to have no other children."

"Because I promised Luo Wei that I would take care of Hedrick for her. Under him, I put more effort into him than his brothers. Perhaps it is because of this that Hedrick has embarked on this path today." .”

Butler Haixin lowered his head: "Master, you shouldn't have told me this."

"Mr. Haixin, I believe in you. After all, in this castle, there are not many people who can be trusted like you." Horn said: "Go and see where Allen is, I want to see him."

After Haixin left, Horn flicked a silver clock on the table. A moment later, Anna the Blood Scorpion pushed the door open and entered. Horn pushed a file bag under her nose, and pointed her finger to show her to take a look. Anna poured out the contents of the file bag, which were photos and a micro-memory. The photos should be taken secretly, and the angles are mainly from the side and the 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.

Hydrick!

"This is?" Anna looked up.

"Hydrick leaked Alan's design plan to Maine. In the storage, there is a short video of his meeting with Maine. The evidence is solid." Horn silently bit his pipe and said.

"Alexander and the Grant family have now formed an alliance, so this plan has probably fallen to the Grant family. No, it should be placed on Lawlins's table." Anna put away the things on the table: "Master, you plan to let How do I do it."

"From now on, monitor Hedrick's every move. If...if he betrays the family again, you can directly sanction him without my consent," Horn said.

Anna picked up the things: "I see, master."

Pushing the door open, Anna glanced at the study. There was plenty of light in the study room, but the figure seemed a little blurry. The curling smoke not only blurred Horn's face, but also blurred his heart.

Compared to before, Horn's heart is no longer so cruel. Time will always smooth some edges and corners, just like Horn, is no exception. Otherwise, if it is the Horn that Anna is familiar with, even if it is Hedrick. When Lanny ran away from home back then, Horn could drive her out of the family in a fit of anger, because of Hedrick's behavior of betraying the family. If it were changed to before, Horn would have personally taken action to take his life.

How could Heydrick be given another chance like now?

In the afternoon, Allen and Lucy returned to the castle. He has already agreed to let Edward join. Although the Maritans evaded the purpose of joining the hunting group, Edward has wandered among many planets and has a strength of about 15. In addition, the Maritans are naturally able to influence the minds of others different force. Having such a member join is also a boost to the hunting group.

It's just that Allen is very curious. With Edward's current popularity on Babylon, his life can be described as having nothing to worry about. What made him willing to give up his comfortable life and join the dangerous expedition to Outland?

Perhaps, everyone has an inhumane secret in their hearts, right?

After getting off the car, Haixin stepped forward: "Master Alan, the master is looking for you."

Allen nodded and asked Lucy to go back first, and then followed Heissing to the study. In the study, Horn immediately said: "Just got the latest news, your design plan has been leaked, and Lawlins probably has your plan. Don't ask, and don't go after the source of the news. The key now is, we have to How to remedy."

Allen took a deep look at Horn, and said: "I had reservations about some key data and the most important fusion matrix before. The relevant data in that design plan are just a cover. Because they are not It will affect normal data collection, so I didn't specifically notify the testers at the factory, but Mr. Hughton knew about it."

"As long as the data collection is completed, the parts of the magic weapon will be delivered. The most critical fusion matrix will be completed and assembled by me in the castle, so even if the plan is leaked, what they get is at most just an idea. .”

After hearing this, Horn was obviously relieved. He nodded: "You have done a good job, you know you have to keep it with reservations. Yes, but Alan, you little guy even hid it from grandpa, don't you trust me?"

"No, it's just that there are many eyes and ears around Grandpa. I think, if you don't even know about it, then the implementation of the plan will be more guaranteed." Allen replied.

Horn smiled and said: "Then you go down, remember to be depressed after you go out, so that those who are interested can let go of the big stones in their hearts, but they can't figure out our real details."

"Yes, Grandpa."
