Chapter 141 Don’t Waste the Hard-Earned Opportunity
"【Judgment Angel】Yang Hui, huh, have you really discovered me?" After seeing clearly who was holding him, Jehart felt despair and unwillingness.
Daz Roden was right behind him, so he had no room for quibbling. Moreover, according to the intelligence they had collected about Yang Hui, since the other party had taken action, he was absolutely sure, and there was no point in denying anything.
"Well, your purpose is so obvious, it's hard not to discover you." Yang Hui said casually.
"So that's it, are you too impatient?" Jehart didn't know that Yang Hui knew the plot and knew of his existence from the beginning, but analyzed that he had exposed his flaws by approaching Asem immediately after the invasion.
"I guess so."
"So... are you going to arrest us?" Jehart asked.
"I'm sorry, I guessed wrong. You are a smart man, you shouldn't ask such a stupid question?"
"Guessed wrong?" Jehart was stunned for a moment, not understanding Yang Hui's intention. Their identities were exposed. As a senior member of the federal army, shouldn't it be natural for Yang Hui to arrest him?
However, Gerhardt observed the surroundings and indeed found that except for Yang Hui and the people who controlled Daz Roden behind him, there were no other federal troops around. It didn't look like they were going to capture him. Could it be that Yang Hui was also VEGAN's accomplice? But is this possible?
"What exactly do you want to do?" Gerhardt knew that Yang Hui did not intend to capture him, so he asked.
"Alas, your thinking is still too narrow. Before answering you, you should answer me a question first."
"What question?"
"Is campus life interesting?"
"What?"
"Why? Is this question difficult to answer?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Gerhardt frowned, not understanding Yang Hui's meaning at all. Why did he suddenly talk about a topic that had nothing to do with the current situation.
"Answer my question first, put aside your hidden identity, put aside the influence of Izelkanda, and just answer me as a teenager, is campus life interesting?" Yang Hui asked seriously.
"This kind of life... How is it possible... I am..." Gerhardt's expression became complicated.
Is campus life interesting? Of course it is interesting!
Otherwise, as a VEGAN elite, he would not have forgotten his identity and mission for a moment and accidentally indulged in it.
Since he was a child, Jehart has never experienced a decent childhood. He has always lived in the ideas instilled by Izelkanda. Now he suddenly enjoys a real ordinary life, makes friends, and works hard to study and struggle with his friends. All of this is so new and heartwarming to him.
If possible, he hopes to live like this forever.
But he can't, he still has an important mission on his shoulders. Izelkanda's Eden Project is his lifelong goal.
"It looks very interesting." Yang Hui grinned, and got the answer from Jehart's complex expression.
"Don't make such jokes, just tell me what you are here for." Jehart said with a cold face.
"It's really not cute. Okay, I want to make a deal with you." Yang Hui said.
"Deal?" Jehart was stunned for a moment, and the idea that "Yang Hui is VEGAN's insider" that was abandoned before came to his mind again.
"That's right, it's a deal. I won't arrest you, and you just be a good high school student and enjoy the interesting campus life until graduation."
"..." Gerhardt was silent, staring at Yang Hui's playful face, trying to see Yang Hui's true purpose.
"How is it? A very cost-effective deal, right? It will not harm you at all."
"...I agree."
Gerhardt didn't understand Yang Hui's purpose, but after a little consideration, he found that he had no choice but to agree. Even if Yang Hui really had some conspiracy to make a deal with him, he would be arrested if he refused, and everything would be over. He had no choice.
As long as he was not arrested, he could also wait for an opportunity to explore Yang Hui's purpose in the following days, so as to find a way to counter it.
Maybe he could even use this to threaten Yang Hui?
"That's right, but remember, kid, don't break the contract, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." Yang Hui patted Gerhardt on the shoulder and reminded him.
"What is your purpose?"
"What bad intentions can a kind-hearted elder have when taking care of his nephew's friend?"
"But I am..."
"The person sitting next to me is just a lost teenager who wants to waste his opportunity. I don't know what life in VEGAN is like, but I guess in VEGAN, teenagers of your age should not be able to enjoy normal campus life like you do now. Since you have this opportunity now, you should cherish it."
"You..."
"Okay, kid, enjoy this hard-earned campus youth. When you get on MS again, your identity will no longer be a young boy, but a soldier. I will not show mercy to soldiers."
Finally, patting Gerhardt on the shoulder, Yang Hui got up and left. The people in the woods also let go of Daz Roden and quickly followed Yang Hui and disappeared from their sight.
"Master Gerhardt, that person is [Battle Angel] Graham."
"I know." Gerhardt gritted his teeth and looked at the direction where Yang Hui and Graham disappeared.
"Are you really going to abide by their deal?" Daz Roden asked.
"Well, we are now trapped in a jar. We have no other choice. I will report to Lord Izelkanda and ask for new instructions. Before that, just do what they say." Gerhardt said.
"Yes." Daz Roden also understood the helplessness at this time. They have been exposed. If they don't do what Yang Hui said, let alone seize the Gundam, they can't even leave. Daz Roden doesn't think that they and the troops staying outside the colony satellite can destroy the "Celestial Being" gathered by the three archangels.
Daz Roden quietly left. Gerhardt looked down at the parts on the ground with a complicated mood. On the one hand, he felt that he was controlled by Yang Hui and was very aggrieved. On the other hand, he couldn't complete the task assigned to him by Izelkanda.
But... for some reason, he felt relieved in his heart.
"I'm not... I'm not..."
...
"Are you optimistic about this kid?"
"I guess so. In terms of talent, he is much better than Yassam, but the influence on his thoughts needs to be reversed." Yang Hui said.
Jehart is not only an excellent MS pilot, but also has the talent to become an excellent commander. It must be said that Izelkanda's vision is still very unique, otherwise he would not have appointed Jehart as the commander-in-chief of the Earth Strategy Operation at his age.
In the end, if he had not been deeply brainwashed by Izelkanda, he would not have become obsessed with Izelkanda's ideas and the Eden he mentioned. Jehart would not have made so many stupid moves that he made big mistakes and killed the woman who loved him and his subordinates with his own hands. In the end, he died in despair at the hands of Asem.
In general, he is an outstanding young man who deserves to be saved.
"It is the most difficult to change one's mind, especially for those crazy people like VEGAN." Graham reminded him. In the past 25 years, Graham has deeply experienced the fanaticism of VEGAN, which is not easy to change.
"I understand that things are in the hands of people. It is not me who can change him from beginning to end. I just create an opportunity for him. As for the final result, it depends on him." Yang Hui shrugged and said.
The deal with Gerhardt was actually done casually. He was a talent, but he was not indispensable. Anyway, they would experience more worlds in the future. Promise Fortress lacked talents, but the most abundant thing in countless worlds was talents. If he was missing, there would be others to take his place.
"It's up to you. These things are what you should worry about. I'll just be responsible for the battle." Graham spread his hands and said.
After chatting with Gerhardt, Yang Hui and Graham had nothing else to do. They would have a mission after watching the Tordia MS Competition in a few days. Graham was bored and went back to the base to do simulation training. Yang Hui would naturally not be so boring. It was better for his wife to accompany him on the rare holiday.
But just after returning to Asuno's house, he met Arthur with Gerhardt and two classmates.
"Oh, we meet again." Seeing Gerhardt coming to visit his home, Yang Hui greeted him very cordially.
"Uncle Yang Hui, do you know Gerhardt?" Arthur said in surprise.
"Not really acquaintance." Yang Hui glanced at Jehart jokingly and said casually, "On the way back, I saw him buying parts for the MS competition. I calculated the distance and he should be from your school, so we chatted for a while."
"Uh... well, Mr. Yang Hui's words benefited me a lot and opened up many new ideas." Jehart immediately replied when he saw that Yang Hui did not expose him directly.
"That's right! Lieutenant General Yang Hui is my idol! Just one or two words of advice can benefit me for a lifetime!"
"That's right! Jehart is so lucky!"
"Haha, although I am very happy about your admiration, don't follow blindly, you must have your own judgment."
"Lieutenant General Yang Hui, do you make mistakes?"
"That's right, I am also a person, of course I will make mistakes." Yang Hui knocked on the heads of two passers-by boys and laughed and scolded.
"Hehe, we know."
"Okay, it's rare to have guests at home, Arthur, treat your classmates well."
"Well, I know, but we plan to collect some information related to MS, can I ask you?" Arthur asked Yang Hui.
"Of course, but I won't help you cheat."
"Of course."
Then, under the hospitality of Arthur, the group went to the study to look for relevant information. While looking through the information, they discussed how to prepare their MS next. Yang Hui would not take the initiative to participate, but would only answer questions when they encountered problems not in the competition, which was considered a host's pleasure and a guest's happiness.
Of course, except for a complicated person.
