Chapter 1728: Chess Pieces

"This kind of thing really looks like your style." Capulo tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Could it be that there are such chess pieces around me?"

"Absolutely not. If we don't even have this bit of sincerity, then our alliance will be too fragile." Vincent said lightly: "The purpose of our Hidden Light Society is to hide in the shadows and influence the progress of the world. Like This way of doing things is in line with our purpose, and if it were not for some accidents, we would not be exposed to the sun. Now, we are just doing things according to the old style."

"The most wonderful thing about this plan is that the Sword of Dawn is a weapon belonging to the Federation. Even if the man cannot be killed, I think Mobit may not know how to explain this to him afterwards. At that time, they will become suspicious, We can take the opportunity to enter. Induce, subvert, and finally destroy the Federation!"

Capulo narrowed his eyes, stood up and said, "If I was just a federal marshal, I would never agree to such a thing. It is a shame to use a space weapon against a strong man, but now I still need to ask My military and people are responsible. So, I will support this plan."

Vincent laughed: "Talking is not enough, Marshal Capulo, I need to see something substantial."

"For example?" Capulo raised his eyebrows.

"For example, I need an elite team of golden lions to protect me at all times. Of course, these people must remove the signs related to the golden lion. What do you think?"

"Then what do you think is the so-called elite standard?"

"The captain must be at least at the level of a major general, and all the team members should be colonels, so they can be called elites."

Capulo laughed: "Your appetite is not small, Vincent. This configuration is basically no different from my guards. Well, if you want someone, I will give it to you."

Capulo knew very well that Vincent did this to add some protection to his cooperation. If Capulo repents, or commits any act of betraying the alliance, then this team will definitely be handed over to the Federation, and Vincent will have enough evidence to prove that they are Capulo's people. It doesn't matter.

But Capulo is not an idiot, he agreed to Vincent's request and said: "Reciprocity, Mr. Vincent, should you also tell me who is the chess piece that can use the railgun?"

Vincent smiled and said: "The director of the Space Defense Agency and the deputy designer of the Sword of Dawn, Rowesford, Marshal Kaprow should be familiar with it."

"It's him?" Capulo was taken aback, nodded and said, "This chess piece is buried very deep, even NASA has your people.

If it was him, he would be able to manipulate the Sword of Dawn. But in this way, wouldn't he be exposed. "

Vincent laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. During the design, Rowesford installed a backdoor in the Sword of Dawn system. This backdoor can bypass the activation system and permission requirements of NASA. .After use, this back door will disappear by itself. Lowesford is on vacation now. Who will associate him when you say that?"

"Since your plan is so thorough, I have nothing more to say. I wish you success in your plan. Besides, the person you want will be delivered in the afternoon, so I will take my leave first."

After watching Capulo stride away, Vincent and Wally looked at each other and smiled.

At noon, an airship landed at the berthing port of the Bethkind family base. Allen came down from the deck, and Leon said loudly in the cabin above: "The day after tomorrow is the negotiation day. Let's see you then. Have fun for two days, brother."

Allen nodded with a smile.

There was already a speeding car waiting for him in the port, Alan got into the speeding car, and the car drove to the family house. In the small square, you can see a few flying cars parked, it seems that there are visitors. Before Allen entered the building, the butler Hai Xin, who got the news, had already come out and said with a smile, "Master Allen, you are back."

"Well, Mr. Haixin, do we have any guests?"

Haixin nodded and said, "Mr. Kate and his son from the Motson family are here to visit, and Mr. Hughton is also here."

Hearing that Hughton had also come, Allen's eyes lit up immediately. It was Hughton who guided him when he first arrived in Babylon. Later, he taught him the knowledge of the magic sequence, which can be said to be his first teacher. Moreover, Hughton's granddaughter Vera also went on an expedition with Allen, so the relationship is naturally deep. Immediately asked: "Where are they?"

"Mr. Kate and the master are in the study, and Mr. Hughton is in the wine cellar."

The wine cellar is just behind the main building. When Allen came, the sun fell on the door of the wine cellar. Dust dances lightly in the sun, looking so quiet. Allen couldn't help breathing lightly, as if breathing hard would disturb the silence. He pushed open the door of the wine cellar, and Hugh Dun's voice sounded from the door: "I said, Steward Haixin, why are you all wines that are not very old? Although Babylon is gone, but I know, do you have any wine on the surface?" Let’s reduce the winery. It’s too stingy to hide the good wine like this.”

Listening to the sound, Allen walked past a row of shelves, and saw an old man with his back facing him, squatting on the ground to pick something. While searching and complaining, the old man turned his head when he heard footsteps. When Allen walked to the sunlight from the window and saw his face clearly, Hughton froze for a moment.

"Mr. Hughton." Allen said with a smile, "Are you in good health?"

Unexpectedly, Hugh stood up suddenly, rushed over, grabbed Alan by the neckline and said, "You bastard, you are finally back. Where is my Vera, has she come back? Is she doing well on Paradise Star?" Okay? Has anyone bullied her? Is she in love? Damn it, I haven't seen her for a long time!"

A series of questions bombarded Allen dizzy, and he finally came back to his senses with a wry smile: "Vera didn't come back, but I guarantee that she is doing well on Paradise Star. If you want, I will let Grandpa arrange it for you." , let you visit him on Paradise Star. Even, you can move to Paradise Star, and then you won’t have to be separated from Vera.”

"real?"

"It's absolutely true."

Hugh Dun let him go, laughed and said, "You know how to be a man, not bad, boy. I heard that after you came back, even the old guy Capulo taught me a lesson, and I will tell people that I am your teacher." , then I also feel very honored.”

"I'm so happy today, I must drink!" Hugh looked at the bottles of good wine, licked his lips and said, "Of course it's your Bethkind treat!"

"It should be, it should be."

As a result, Hugh Dun got drunk that afternoon. It was Allen who carried him back to the guest room. Listening to the sound of the old man snoring, Allen seemed to have returned to the day when he first arrived in Babylon. When he saw Hughton at that time, the retired veteran of the Federation was very drunk.

It's just that time flies, and in a blink of an eye, he is no longer the ignorant boy he was back then, and there are many more wrinkles on Hughton's face.

After exiting the guest room, the butler Hai Xin informed him that Horn was waiting for him in the study. When Allen came to the study, Kate and his son just said goodbye and left. Seeing Adele's grandfather, Allen nodded, "Good afternoon, Mr. Kate."

Old Kate held Alan's hand affectionately and said: "I heard that you guys encountered some troubles on the surface yesterday. Adele complained when she came back and said that she should have brought a sniper rifle with her. Are you okay?"

Because of the old Kate's relationship with Horn, Allen has always regarded him as an elder. And his concern is also from the heart, not that kind of superficial affectation. Allen shook his head immediately and said, "I'm sorry to worry about it, it's just a small matter."

The Smith family announced the action against Leon, but did not mention the foreshadowing in the beer city, so old Kate did not know the connection between the two things. Alan didn't explain it either, so old Kate took it as a trivial matter, let go of Alan's hand and said, "Go in, your grandpa 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 room, and he pushed the door open after Horn's words "Come in" sounded inside the door. After Horn resigned from the position of Patriarch, he seems to be much more relaxed now than before. If it was the past, when you came to the study, you would probably see him looking up documents, or working at his desk. But at this moment, he was standing by the window with a cup of tea. The sunlight outside the window fell on his mottled hair. The old man's body was still as straight as pine, and he didn't feel old at all.

"You're back, Alan. Have you seen Mr. Hughton?" Horn turned around and asked.

Allen nodded: "Teacher, he is already asleep."

"Is Mr. Hughton drunk again? He misses his granddaughter so much."

"I have already promised the teacher that I will send him to live with Vera on Paradise Star. But this matter needs to be arranged by Grandpa for me."

"It's just a small matter. I'll let Rody do it later. Grandpa is no longer the head of the family, and many things in the family are handled by your uncle Rody. If you need anything, you can go to him directly." Huo En sighed, and said: "At the beginning, I wanted you to inherit this position, which was considered a little compensation for Lan Ni. Unexpectedly, so many things happened afterwards, and it was fortunate that I didn't do so. With your current achievements, a mere Patriarch It's nothing."

"No, grandpa." Alan shook his head and said, "No matter what achievements I have, I will never forget that I am Bethkind."

"This kid" Horn laughed and beckoned for Allen to come and sit down. He put down his teacup, pulled up a chair and sat down and said, "Do you know what old Kate and the others are here for?"

Allen shook his head honestly.

"They want to marry us."

"Marriage?"

Horn nodded: "It's Adele. Old Kate thinks it's time to find a home for his most precious granddaughter. The most ideal person is of course you."

Allen said quickly: "No, Grandpa. I feel like my sister to Adele, and there is no such feeling between the two of us."

Horn laughed: "Old Kate also said the same thing. He asked Adele and got almost the same answer. So the object of this marriage is not you, but Reina."

"Reina?"
