Arriving at his own residence, Alstair strolled into the bedroom. He lay down on his bed and turned the handle of the bedside cabinet. The floor under the bed suddenly sank, the end of the bed dumped downwards, and there was actually a secret passage under the floor. When the bed was tilted at 45 degrees, Alstair slid into the secret passage without any effort. The sensor light of the secret passage turned on, and after 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 in, and then slid open from the left, revealing a spacious space behind. Alstair walked in. This was a hidden basement. Thick and long cables were laid on the ground, extending forward. The end point was a metal base, on which was a barrel-like biochemical tank.

The biochemical tank was filled with a light blue biochemical base solution, and bubbles continued to rise from the base, and a figure floated in it. It was a man, wearing only a pair of shorts, with several obvious scars on his muscular upper body. A mask was buckled on his face, and the mask was connected to the top oxygen machine and other equipment. Its function was to maintain the oxygen supply and monitor the man's vital signs.

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

"Well, he is calmer than I imagined, I thought he would be furious." Alstair sighed: "The ideal is to use our power to stop Alan, but even the clown wants to get his hands on the power of the Twilight Son, I can only Make this move."

"If old Horn knew that his old friend turned out to be an important member of the Guangyin Society, his expression would be very exciting." The man in the biochemical tank said in a mocking tone.

"Do you want to say that I used Horn? Even so, but I don't think I did anything wrong. The purpose of the Hidden Light Society is to observe and guide. Now Alan's behavior has begun to get out of control, and the clowns want to interfere. They have all deviated from The original intention of this organization was established. I just corrected the influence they brought. As for Horn, I know he cares about Alan very much. It's growing day by day. For whatever reason, Horn would not allow his most promising family members to be treated like this."

"But you also know that once Horn intervenes, the matter will get out of hand. Alstair, use your brain to think about the consequences of doing so. Maybe after today, the Federation will be alone because of you." Rash decision and torn apart!"

Alstair laughed: "It's strange, you should be the one who has the least right to accuse me of this matter. But you don't have to worry too much,

I know Horn all too well, he can act, but there are limits to action. "

"You are really his good friend!"

"Of course. In fact, I hesitated all night before making this decision. Because apart from Horn, I really can't think of anyone who can reverse the current situation. The important thing is that I don't have time to continue to think about it. Horn He is my good friend, he was in the past, and he will be in the future. This point will not change. It is just my position, which determines that I cannot consider this matter only from the position of a friend. I need to worry far more than you can imagine. Many." Alstair tapped the biochemical tank lightly: "Anyway, I will rescue Alan Bethkind, no matter what method is used."

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

"You need to recuperate."

"My injury has healed long ago!"

Alstair sighed: "Now is not the time, my friend. You have to be patient. When the world needs you, I promise to let you out of this place."

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

"Maybe, who knows." After waving his hand, Alstair walked away.

The bubbles in the biochemical tank were rushing, and the eyes under the mask were burning with anger, but the man was helpless.

Ugal Castle.

Horn sat quietly in his seat, on his knees lay the crutch with the famous sword Qiuyan hidden. He folded his hands and placed it lightly on the crutch, as if he could feel the sharpness of Qiuyan's blade as thin as a cicada's wing. A central light screen was opening in front of his eyes, and several figures appeared one after another on the screen, all of whom were important members of Bethkind. Among them are the eldest son Rody, the elders Tire, Edric and a dozen others. Together, these people are members of the Presbyterian Church of Bethkind.

Looking at them, Horn sighed in his heart.

After everyone attended this temporary video conference, Rody was the first to ask, "Father, what happened to summon us so urgently?"

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

Tire coughed lightly and said, "Just tell me, Lord Patriarch. I think all of you here have experienced great storms. Even if we want to use force against the Federation, we will not frown."

Everyone agreed.

Horn shook his head: "No, what I want to announce is another matter entirely. Then, next, all members of the Bethkind Presbyterian Church will witness. From this moment on, I, Horn, will no longer be Bethkind I will even remove myself and remove my name from the family tree. From the moment I walk out of this door, I will no longer be a member of Bethkind. As for the position of patriarch, I want to give it to Roddy Temporarily, he will take care of family affairs in my place.”

"what?"

"What's the matter?"

Roddy exclaimed, "God, what are you talking about, father? How is this possible? Wait, what happened to make you make such a decision?"

Other elders also asked questions one after another, Horn suddenly announced his abdication and exiled himself. This decision was even more surprising than going to war with the Federation. Faced with faces with different expressions, Horn stood up and said in a deep voice: "I really hope to explain clearly to you, but I don't have time now. I have to leave immediately, as for the reason, I have asked the butler Haixin to sort out a specific face-to-face document, and he will send it to you at that time."

"It's still the same sentence just now, please believe me. I made such a decision because I was considering the future of the family." Horn nodded: "That's it, gentlemen, I hope we can meet again."

After that, he left the meeting room.

Outside the room, Housekeeper Haixin looked at Horn and said, "Master, I have already done what you told me. Now send the information to the young master and other elders?"

"No, send it to Rody first. Send it to Tire and the others tomorrow. If they send it together, they won't be able to fry it." Horn smiled slightly and said, "Housekeeper Haixin, you have worked hard these years. A lot I was not a competent manager at the time, and it is the same this time, it must have given you a headache these years."

Hai Xin trembled, bowed and said, "It is my honor to be able to serve the master."

"Anyway, in my heart, you are one of my most important friends. I used to keep these words in my heart because it was inconvenient to say them. But today I was finally able to say them, and I realized that it was not as difficult as I imagined. Well. Alright, is my spaceship ready?"

"Already on standby in the square."

Horn helped the old butler up, and said lightly: "There is no need to send it off this time, goodbye."

"Master!" Haixin wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it, nodded and said, "Be careful."

Horn turned around and strode away.

He saw Anna in the downstairs hall. Anna, who was still wearing a suit with her hands behind her back, looked into Horn's eyes and said, "Master, do you have to go?"

"Ten years ago, Lanny left me. And I didn't do anything, and ended up losing him forever." Horn kept walking: "So today, I can't lose Alan again. No matter who he is, Son of Twilight, He is still a prisoner of the Federation. All I know is that he is my family member! No one can treat my Horn family like pigs and sheep, not even the President of the Federation!"

"But you have other family members."

"So I exile myself." Horn stopped and looked at his warrior: "I want to save Alan, but at the same time, I can't let the Federation catch me because of this. Now Horn is just Horn, Even if what happens today, it has nothing to do with Bethkind. If you understand, please step aside, 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. This has nothing to do with his identity, just because he is Horn."

"I forbid you to do this, you still have children." Horn shook his head.

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

"This is my way of the samurai!"

Horn took a deep look at her, nodded and said, "Then come, time waits for no one."

That afternoon, the Federal Intelligence Service discovered that an unmarked airship departed from Ugal Castle, and left Babylon without registering its whereabouts with the Federal Control Bureau. The Federation immediately dispatched a fast combat ship to intercept, but the opponent was mercilessly knocked down. By the time Alan received the notification, the Intelligence Department had lost track of the spaceship.

On the same day, the Ugal Castle issued a statement in the name of Horn, announcing that Horn had handed over the position of Bethkind's patriarch and expelled himself from the family. A relationship. When this statement was released through the media, the whole of Babylon seemed to have experienced a strong earthquake. Everyone was baffled by Horn's decision, and only a few people knew the deep meaning behind this statement.

Alstair was definitely one of them, and he just poured himself a glass of wine when he got the news. After hearing the news, he drank it all in one gulp, but felt that the usually delicious and mellow wine turned extremely bitter today.
