In the Black Robe Patrol's base, a warm atmosphere permeates the quiet atmosphere.

Kimiko was concentrating on kneading dough in front of the panel with a faint smile on her face. That smile was as gentle and warm as the spring sun.

Her hands kneaded the dough skillfully, as if she was creating a precious work of art.

Butcher sat aside, holding a fork in his hand, eating noodles in big mouthfuls.

There was a look of satisfaction on his face, as if this simple bowl of noodles was the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Every bite of noodles you chew brings with it a sense of satisfaction with life and anticipation for the future.

Frankie took out two plates of baked cake from the oven. The cake exuded an enticing aroma, and the golden appearance made people salivate.

When he saw Kimiko's movements, he hurried over.

“Oh no, you can’t stir, you fold!”

There was a hint of urgency and professionalism in his voice.

Then he took the shovel from Kimiko's hand and said, "Like this." Then he demonstrated it to her personally.

His movements were skillful and graceful, like a true baking master. "This is how it will be soft and chewy!"

His eyes were full of confidence and patience, and he taught Kimiko how to bake a cake with great care.

After handing the flipping spatula back to Kimiko, Frankie did not rush to do his own thing.

He stood aside and watched Kimiko continue the operation, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement.

He knew that although Kimiko could not speak, she had a studious heart and a pair of dexterous hands.

At this moment, the door opened and Hughie came back with an unhappy look on his face.

Kimiko couldn't speak, but made a gesture towards Frankie.

French immediately understood what she meant and said to Hughie, "She wants to know where you've been?"

Now, Frankie has become Kimiko's personal translator.

He was able to accurately understand Kimiko's every movement and expression, and then convey it to others through words.

“It’s a fascinating question.”

Butcher interrupted them, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and dissatisfaction.

Huey ignored Kimiko and walked up to Butcher and asked, "Can we talk?"

His eyes were full of hesitation and uneasiness.

"We're talking about it now, aren't we?" Butcher didn't even look up, still eating.

His tone was very perfunctory, as if he was a little unhappy. His mind seemed to be completely immersed in the bowl of noodles, and he didn't care about Huey's request.

"No, I mean..." Huey hesitated for a while, he didn't know how to express his inner thoughts. His eyes were full of contradictions and confusion.

"There are no secrets here, kid, so tell me!" Butcher said, with a hint of impatience in his tone, but also a kind of trust.

He knew that in this team, nothing could be left unsaid.

Seeing Butcher acting like a jerk, MM said, "Don't be so annoying. Just talk to him nicely."

There was a hint of reproach and concern in his voice. He knew that Butcher's attitude might make it more difficult for Huey to speak.

"Huey doesn't mind, does he, Huey?" Butcher said to Huey.

There was a hint of provocation and expectation in his eyes. He wanted to see how much courage and determination Huey had.

Huey looked at everyone, then said helplessly, "Okay, fine."

There was a hint of compromise and helplessness in his voice. He knew that he didn't have much choice in this team.

He then went on to say: “I don’t think I can do this anymore.”

There was a hint of firmness and determination in his voice. "What?" Butcher asked.

At the same time, the others also looked up at Hughie, their eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

"This matter!" Huey said, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

He didn't know how to explain his decision, nor did he know how people would view him.

"I mean Vought International and Kimiko's matter," Hughie continued.

There was a hint of helplessness and guilt in his voice. He knew that his decision might bring a lot of trouble to everyone.

"This is terrible, you can still continue!" Huey said, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

He didn't know what would happen in the future, nor did he know whether he could bear the consequences.

"But I can't go on," Huey said, with a firmness and determination in his voice.

He knew that he had to make this decision or he would continue to live in fear and pain.

"Yeah, you just wanna relax, have a few Mai Tais, and let us do all the work, huh?" Butcher walked up to Hughie and asked.

His eyes were full of anger and disappointment. He felt that Huey was an irresponsible person who only cared about his own enjoyment and ignored everyone's safety.

"You know I lived the first half of my life well without having to see anyone die tragically. Now, I've seen about six people die, so I think I've seen enough," Huey said, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his voice.

He knew that he had gone through too much pain and suffering and he didn't want to go on any longer.

"Come on, you're a damned murderer, Hughie. Not just the rest of us, so why don't you stop beating around the bush and just tell us what the real reason is?"

Butcher thought Huey was talking nonsense. His eyes were full of doubt and questioning. He wanted to know why Huey made this decision and whether there was any hidden secret.

"Okay?" Butcher asked. There was a hint of threat and coercion in his tone. He wanted Huey to tell the truth as soon as possible, otherwise he would not let it go.

"Okay." Huey said. There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his voice. He knew that he had to face everyone's questioning, otherwise he would always be misunderstood. "Annie." Huey said. There was a hint of tenderness and guilt in his voice. He knew that his decision might hurt Anne, but he had no other choice.

"Damn it." Butcher said. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment. He felt that Huey was a fool who gave up his responsibility and mission for a woman.

"Okay, this is for Annie." Hughie said. There was a hint of firmness and determination in his voice. He knew that he had to make this decision for Annie, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Hearing this answer, Butcher began to applaud. There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his applause. He felt that Huey was a weak man who gave up his principles and beliefs for a woman.

"Finally it's out! He's been sneaking out to hang out with her at the Lincoln Hotel." Butcher also told the information he had found out. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

He felt that Hughie was a traitor who betrayed his team and friends for a woman.

At this time, Jonathan, who had been observing secretly, felt that something was wrong. He should have broken up Huey and Annie's fate. Why did they get together?

Is it the damn plot correction power? Or did Anne find out that she and Maeve were unclear and gave up on herself? But she and Hughie should have no other chances to contact each other, right?

Shaking his head, Jonathan continued to use his X-ray vision and super hearing to watch what was happening inside the Black Robe Patrol.

"You've been following me?" Huey looked at Butcher in disbelief. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment. He felt that Butcher was a person who didn't trust him and would do anything to monitor him.

"Did you give me a choice?" Butcher asked. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment. He felt that Huey was an irresponsible man who gave up his responsibilities and mission for a woman.

"She doesn't know anything! Okay? I'm not going to tell her anything! We're just..." Huey emphasized halfway before being interrupted by Butcher.

"Just what? Go to Epcot? Go to the Hamptons? Maybe give birth to some flying babies?" Butcher demanded. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

He felt that Huey was a foolish man who gave up his principles and beliefs for a woman.

"No, I don't know!" Huey retorted. There was a hint of resignation in his voice. He knew that he could not answer Butcher's questions, nor could he explain his behavior.

"Yes, you don't know, but you only think with your lower body!" Butcher said, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.

He felt that Hughie was an irresponsible man who gave up his responsibilities and mission for a woman.

"You are wrong about her!" Huey said. There was a hint of firmness and determination in his voice. He knew that he had to defend Anne, otherwise she would be hurt more.

"That bitch is playing you!" Butcher said.

"And you are just blind and can't see clearly!" Butcher said. Huey also got angry when he heard the slander against Anne.

"Yes, so it's better to be loyal to a dead woman, one who will neither know nor care. How is your plan going?"

Huey said to Butcher's back. Obviously, these words were just to rub salt into Butcher's wounds.

MM and Frankie couldn't believe that Hughie could say such a mean thing.

Their eyes were full of surprise and disappointment. They felt that Huey was a man who had lost his mind and hurt his friend for a woman.

Butcher turned and looked at Huey. He seemed to be brewing anger. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

He felt that Hughie was a traitor who betrayed his team and friends for a woman.

At this time, Huey's cell phone suddenly rang. "Hi, Dad." Huey said to the phone, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice.

He didn't know why his father called him at this time.

"Hey, Huey~" said the engine on the other end of the phone. MM and Frankie quickly walked over to Butcher, leaving him alone to do something crazy.

Their eyes were full of vigilance and worry. They knew that the appearance of the locomotive meant trouble was coming.

"Who are you?" Hughie also realized at this time that the person talking to him was not his father.

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice. He didn't know why the locomotive would use his father's cell phone to call him.

"I thought you'd recognize my voice. You've been obsessed with me for a long time, am I right?"

The engine said with a smile. There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his voice. He felt that Huey was a weak man who gave up his responsibility and mission for a woman.

"Say hello to your son and big brother, Dad." After saying that, the engine handed the phone to Huey's father. After Huey's father took the phone, his hands and feet were a little trembling.

"Hey, Huey, why is he here? He said you're in some trouble!" Huey's father's voice trembled a little.

His eyes were full of fear and anxiety. He didn't know what kind of trouble his son had gotten into, nor did he know what to do.

"Dad, are you okay?" Huey couldn't help but ask, with a hint of worry and anxiety in his voice.

He didn't know what the engine would do to his father, nor did he know how to protect him.

But before his father could recover, the train driver snatched the phone away. "He's fine. The Legend of Steele will be on air soon."

The engine continued to talk about this and that. There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his voice. He felt that Huey was a weak man who gave up his responsibility and mission for a woman.

"Locomotive, listen to me!" Huey had just said the word locomotive when everyone else knew he was exposed.

"Oh no! If he's exposed, I'm doomed!" MM said, with a hint of fear and uneasiness in his voice.

He knew that the appearance of the locomotive meant that their actions had been exposed and they might face greater danger.

"He receives Medicaid, he is harmless to humans and animals, let him go!" Huey continued into the phone.

There was a hint of pleading and desperation in his voice. He knew that his father was innocent and he didn't want him to be hurt.

At this time, Butcher also checked his home through remote monitoring and found that his residence had also been discovered.

"My place was exposed and they found me." Although Butcher's voice was very calm, everyone could hear that he was angry.

His eyes were full of anger and disappointment. He felt that his actions had been exposed and they might face greater danger.

"Oh my God!" MM cursed while holding her head after seeing the information that her bank account was frozen.

There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his voice. He knew that their actions had been exposed and they might face greater danger.

"Come here in 20 minutes." The engine said to Huey emphatically on the phone. It seemed that if Huey didn't cooperate, his father would be dead. (End of this chapter)
