Chapter 719 Washing the Dust (Part 1)
m
Toure was at a loss for words. Although the Golet family had developed fairly well in the past few years, they settled in Babylon smoothly. But in terms of family background, even the ten Gorets can't catch up with Bethkind. If this matter rises to the height of family grievances, then not only will there be no benefit this time, Bethkind can even ignore Alan's fault Or not, go directly to the Golet family.
That was not what he had hoped for.
At that time on the Frost Star, Barry fled back after the Free Hunters were wiped out, and reported the matter to the family superiors. Toure heard that this matter was related to Beth Kede, so he found Barry, and chose to attack Allen when he arrived at the Blood Gate Fortress today. Doing so is nothing more than hitting Bethkind through this matter. Of course, he knew exactly which side was distorting the facts.
Now hearing what Roddy said, Toure changed the subject and said: "I have no intention of offending Beth Keld. Mr. Horn is also someone I respect. It's just that my people can't just die in vain. At least, Mr. Roddy, you should give me an explanation."
"Okay, so what do you want me to say to you?"
"Give him to me." Toure pointed to Allen: "The murderer must be severely punished."
"Oh, this is fine, if Allen is really the murderer. But before that, I want to ask, besides this clown, what other evidence do you have?"
Toure said awe-inspiringly: "It is enough to have Barry alone, what other evidence is needed!"》
"In other words, this clown is the only witness?"
"That's right."
"That's easy." Rody smiled and waved to Barry: "Come here, I have a few questions to ask."
Barry glanced at Toure, who nodded. The sniper walked over, and Rody opened his mouth and said, "I want to ask, at that time you..."
"what did you say?"
The second half of Roddy's voice was too low for Barry to hear clearly. So subconsciously leaned forward, and finally heard Luo Di say: "I want to say, the guy who talks nonsense deserves to die!"
Barry turned pale with fright, and Fang wanted to back away. Roddy had already punched him in the face, and Barry clearly heard the sound of his nose snapping, and then the world in his eyes quickly turned blood red. He turned around and saw Toure who was frightened and angry. I wanted to say something, but the world suddenly fell into darkness.
With a plop, Barry fell to the ground.
His eyes were bloodshot and red, and blood was bleeding from his mouth and nose, but he was punched to death by Roddy!
Toure was trembling with anger, but Rody shook his fist lazily and said, "Don't you want me to give you an explanation? Now it is, is Mr. Toure satisfied?"
Toure finally roared: "Roddy, don't bully people too much!"
"Wrong, wrong, I'm very reasonable." Roddy spat rudely, and cursed: "One side is the core members of my family, and the other side is the fringe figures of the third-rate family. Obviously? Then, wouldn't it be normal to execute a bastard liar who dared to frame an important member of our family? Toure, don't think I don't know what you're up to. All these years want to step down our Bethkind There are a lot of guys, but in the end, they can't get any benefits, just look at Maine."
"Or, do you think you are stronger than everyone in Alexander?" Rody sneered, "Use your brain to think about it before you attack, even if Alan really did that kind of thing, I won't hand him over .Even if there is a punishment, it must be judged within our family, and will not be handed over to an outsider like you. Do you understand? Idiot!"
The atmosphere at the scene has become tense, Barry died suddenly, and Toure became angry. The guards surrounding Bethkind had already raised their guns, but this time, Toure did not stop them. Rody looked around coldly and said, "What, are you going to attack us? Then the situation will be serious."
Toure wanted to tear this man, Rody, into pieces, but he also knew that this was not the right place. But he was a little unwilling to let Alan go like this. At this time, someone said indifferently: "What's going on, who allowed you to use force in the fortress!"
A group of federal soldiers squeezed in, separating the personnel on both sides of Goret and Bethkind. The gray and black ponytail flashed in Toure's eyes, and Catherine walked in in a general uniform. The pitch-black cloak was like a black flame, which made Toure's eyelids twitch. He raised his hand and made a gesture to tell the guards to put away their guns, and the man stepped forward and said, "You came just in time, General. Beth Keld killed my man in the vital area. I don't know what the military department thinks about this?"
Catherine looked at him, with the river of Styx floating in her eyes, which made Toure flustered. She just said: "The federation has always been neutral, and never intervenes in the grievances between nobles. Has Mr. Toure forgotten? I don't care who dies here. What I care about is that if anyone dares to die under my eyes Use knives and guns. Then, I will arrest you for the crime of threatening public safety. As for your complaints, I think the judges of the military court will be happy to listen to you."
Toure was speechless for a while as if someone had stuffed a few eggs into it. After a while, he retreated sullenly. He knew that today's matter could no longer be pursued, so he had to ask someone to carry away Barry's body. When she was about to turn around and leave, Catherine suddenly said: "I can testify about Allen. Those things in his hand at that time were not free hunters. Speaking of which, he was able to get those high-concentration source crystals , and I have a share of the credit. Or, Mr. Toure doesn't even believe my words?"
Toure is like being electrocuted. If even Catherine jumps out to testify for Allen, then even if Allen really did it, Toure can only bear it. After all, it is not wise to question a federal major general, especially on this battlefield. Now, Toure is glad that Barry was killed by Roddy, otherwise his face would be even more embarrassing now. Immediately said: "Thank you, General, for your testimony. From this point of view, that bastard, Barry, actually wanted to frame Mr. Allen."
"Now that you've said that." Rody interjected later, "Should Mr. Toure give our family Alan an explanation?"
Toure greeted Roddy thousands of times in his heart, but smiled on his face: "That's natural, it's all my fault for my incompetence in discipline. Well, I'll ask someone to send a small gift to Mr. Allen later as a token of respect." For atonement."
Roddy laughed and said, "Then I will thank Alan."
Only then did he let him go, and after watching the Goret family leave in disgrace, Luo Di scolded: "It's a state to be so thick-skinned."
Looking at Catherine again, he said, "Thank you General for testifying for our family Alan."
"I'm just telling the truth." Catherine stepped forward and said seriously to Allen: "I wasn't talking nonsense just now. I did have credit for your batch of goods. When will you pay me a dividend?"
Allen said dumbfoundingly: "If you want it, I can give it to you now."
"Let's let you go first, just treat it as my private investment." After speaking, the major general waved his hand and led the soldiers away.
After Catherine left, Rody wrapped his arms around Allen's neck, rubbed his big hands on his head and said, "You're quite capable, I've heard about you and Catherine a long time ago. I thought it was a good thing I didn’t expect it to be true. Work hard, Alan, and try to get her. A general’s dowry is enough for ordinary people to fight for several lifetimes. If she joins Bethkind because of this, then you The status in the family will skyrocket."
Lucy next to her couldn't help coughing dryly, and Roddy let Alan go. He smiled awkwardly, and said softly to Allen: "Of course, if you earn the dowry of a royal daughter, I think you can start your own family."
His voice was too loud, even though it was suppressed to a very low level, the people behind him could still hear him clearly. Lucy blushed with embarrassment. Allen shook his head, pushed him and said, "Uncle Roddy, let's go back first."
"That's right, you guys are tired just now, look at my head." Rody patted his head, waved his hand and said, "Everyone get in the car, you guys should take a good rest first. Have a good meal tonight, and you'll be busy tomorrow." .”
Bethkind was assigned the equivalent of a camp half the size of a block, located in the fortress. This is an area that is not subject to the military jurisdiction of the Federation and only accepts administrative management. There are two more camps like this, and naturally the two families of Mosen and Goret each occupy one. Entering from the gate of the camp is the square, where the soldiers of the fierce eagle are conducting various drills.
Behind the square are barracks, restaurants, war rooms, warehouses, garages and other buildings. The facilities are complete, and Alan's teams are arranged in a six-story dormitory building, and each team is allocated one floor. In the afternoon, Syrio led Allen to the military building of the fortress to register. The building is located in the center of the fortress and is the tallest building in the fortress. Its shape is "h" shape, the main body is two twin buildings, starting from the third floor of the twin buildings, each floor is connected by an air corridor. It looks like an open door, which is why the name of Blood Gate Fortress comes from.
The lower three floors of the military building are open to the outside world. This is the office where the family army accepts missions, registers military merits, and exchanges supplies. And Alan and his team participating in the free hunting can also register here. Syrio led him to report at the registration office with ease, and received new identity tokens for all members. It's just that the military department has not yet issued a task, so Allen has not received the task for the time being.
On the way back, Syrio took Alan around the fortress in a car, giving him a preliminary understanding of the Blood Gate Fortress. It's just that the fortress is too big, even with a speeding car, it's impossible to see all the places in a short time. But even so, it was already sunset when they returned to the family camp.
As soon as he got out of the car, Regis shouted from a distance: "Come here quickly, if you slow down, the food will be eaten up by others."
Allen smiled, it turned out that the dust-cleaning banquet had begun.
