Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Royce stood in the garden, staring quietly at the forest not far away. The forest had a good blocking effect, and this was the only chance for Hult and the others to escape.

Royce looked around. There must be some covert surveillance, but if there were so many people on the day of the escape, the situation at the scene would be more complicated.

Especially when the founder and family members come together, many problems may arise. Royce has already thought about it and let the family members create some conflicts that day.

In this way, the banquet will become restless. As long as they find an opportunity, Hult and the others will immediately enter the tunnel and escape.

Royce looked at his surroundings, walked into the woods, and began to measure according to his pace. All he needed to do now was to clearly remember the distance here.

Originally, Royce planned to have people come to conduct on-site measurements, but now that he had such an opportunity, of course he had to do it, so that after returning, the engineers could arrange everything more quickly.

At this time, the guard captain came out, and Royce followed the guard captain to the queen's room.

After entering, Royce bowed, saluted, and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your summons."

The queen nodded, and Royce stood up. Although he was a little worried at first, but now that he thought about it carefully, the queen asked him to come here because she wanted to ask about the clone Helt.

Royce looked at the Queen with a smile.

"Royce, you have been in contact with that clone Hult many times, right? Tell me what you think of him?"

Royce nodded.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the talent of the clone Hert has been searched all over the empire, and there is really no second person. His talent has even surpassed the original General Hert."

The queen nodded. The war between the Imperial Army and the clones was enough to explain everything, and the subsequent clones were already a big threat to the empire.

"I have been in contact with the clone Hult several times. He is a relatively easy-going person, but I don't know when he started. He may have become a little violent and started to use some very conventional methods. "

The queen listened with interest. She just wanted to know more about Helt. She didn't want to give up such a talent. After all, the current situation in the empire meant that the queen urgently needed military talents.

This is the key point for the empire to be stable in the future, and the family members must have taken a fancy to Hert's military talents, so they will support him unconditionally.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Helt is a little different from others."

The queen nodded and said.

"I also discovered that he seemed not to be interested in money and fame, or that he had no interest in these things. In my opinion, this is not in line with human potential."

Royce nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is no distinction between high and low in their Space Station No. 69. Everyone just has differences in their positions. And Hert will not enjoy the privileges himself, but will do it himself. Work with other people.”

The Queen hummed and said.

"That's what makes me weird."

Royce understood what the queen wanted to ask, and he spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is actually hard for me to understand. After all, once a person has the power, he will definitely enjoy the best for himself, but Helt does not."

The queen nodded. She had made a good offer, but Helt still refused and became the general of the clone troopers.

"That's why it's hard for me to understand. Royce, tell me carefully."

Royce didn't shy away. Now that the matter had been discussed, he began to tell the queen how he contacted Helt and the others, and how he planned something with Helt.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Royce finished everything and the Queen smiled.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you can let me talk to Hult?"

The Queen thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, you go talk to Hert."

Royce nodded, feeling extremely happy in his heart. He knew that Hult was a smart man, and it would be fine if he mentioned a little bit of things in the conversation.

Soon Royce entered Helt's room, the two looked at each other, and Helt understood with one look.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, Mr. Hult."

Hurt immediately laughed.

"Yeah, you idiots, I've had enough of you."

As soon as Helt finished speaking, Royce walked to the window and said with a smile.

“You can see the garden from here, which is quite nice.”

Helt keenly felt the meaning of Royce's words and said.

"I won't be able to see it anymore after a while, especially the woods over there. This is the first time I've seen real woods."

Royce was excited, and it seemed that Helt had also thought of it. If he wanted to escape from the palace, the only way was through the underground tunnel, Royce said.

"The trees here are hundreds of years old. There were also trees that existed when this palace was built. Look at that big tree over there."

Hert walked over, their eyes interacted again, and Helt immediately understood.

"There will be a banquet in a few days, and our entire family will attend. It is a charity dinner for the deceased and wounded soldiers."

Hurt understood immediately and smiled.

"Doing something hypocritically is what your family does. You were obviously ready, but in the end you didn't have the guts."

Royce waved helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. I don't have the decision-making power. The decision-making power on this matter lies in the hands of the old men of the family. I'm sorry, Mr. Helter, how about we change the topic?"

Hurt said angrily.

"It's because of your inaction that I have to come here now."

Royce's eyes were serious. He looked at his surroundings. The Queen should be watching their conversation now.

"How about developing in the empire? Your Majesty is in urgent need of talents like you."

Hurt shook his head.

"impossible."

Royce advised.

"There are very good resources here. If you are willing to surrender to His Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely make you a person that attracts everyone's attention."

Hurt laughed and Royce continued.

"Why don't we go for a walk? It's quite boring in the house like this."

Hurt nodded, and after Royce went out, the soldiers allowed it, and the two went directly to the garden, Royce said.

"Look at that tree. It's so tall now. Why do you think it is?"

Hurt shook his head.

"Because this tree has experienced the baptism of time, it is currently the oldest tree in the empire. It is almost 200 years old, but it is still strong and tall."

Hurt asked.

"Do you want to say that the same is true for kingship?"

Royce nodded, and then he continued.

"This is how we in Asgard have developed and survived to this day only because everything was gathered together under the royal authority. If the royal authority collapses, the entire Asgard will be affected."

"Then can we unscrupulously allow our clones to bear all the hardships and hardships of human beings? After letting us endure them, they still treat us as tools."

Royce shook his head.

"Mr. Hult, I think you should think about it carefully, just like this big tree. Without this big tree, the fresh flowers and plants around may die under the sunlight."

After Royce finished speaking, he bowed slightly. Helt looked at the big tree, and then he was taken away by the guards.

"How about it?"

Royce, who returned to the queen's room again, shook his head.

"Your Majesty, it seems that he is still unwilling."

The Queen knew it too, and then she smiled.

"Whether he wants it or not, he has to give me an answer in a few days."

Royce bowed and left. Cold sweat broke out on his body as he left the palace all the way.

It seemed that the Queen did not notice anything strange. The conversation between him and Helt had ended. Now Helt should understand where their escape point was, which was next to the big tree.

Royce returned under the bakery. Now the tunnel has been dug out for 10 meters. There are no problems and everything is going smoothly.

The engineers held small tools and dug tunnels continuously. Many of them were clones and could be disposed of at any time.

Royce looked at the situation in the tunnel. There were not many people on this street and there was no need for much structural support. He began to talk to several engineers about the results of his actual measurements today.

At this time an engineer came over and said.

"We're in trouble."

Royce also thought about it, and sure enough, he saw tree roots as soon as he entered. These intricate and huge tree roots had occupied the ground. If they were excavated now, they would inevitably cause damage to the tree roots.

And depending on the size of the tree, it might collapse after passing through the tunnel. No one can guarantee this.

"It would be troublesome if something went wrong."

After an engineer finished speaking, Royce said decisively.

"As long as there are no problems within a few days, you just have to dig through it. Now you need to provide support along the way."

The engineers continued to dig, and Royce returned to the ground. He quickly left Area 0 and returned directly to the company. As soon as he entered the conference room, a bunch of clan leaders were discussing.

After Royce reported the results, Victor laughed.

"Very good. I didn't expect this result. Don't worry. Creating some problems at banquets is our specialty."

Victor immediately thought of a way to take advantage of the conflicts between the founders. Their family did not need to create conflicts with each other, they only needed to push the founders from behind. They already had deep conflicts, and in an occasion like the palace, the family's Humans cannot cast it.

After everyone discussed for a while, it was determined that the place where Hert and the others would go after coming out would be to the current Area 10. This was safer because there were people from the Fourth and Fifth Army there.

Victor planned to use the resource collection ship to bring them back to the universe after Helt and the others escaped, and then secretly send them to the outskirts of the lunar city.

This time Victor wants to have a good talk about the future with Helt, and now he just needs to lay the foundation.

9 pm.

Hert came to Yuna's room. Yuna looked very bad, and Hert knew why.

"What's wrong?"

Yuna looked at Helt with a somewhat desperate look in her eyes, because the current situation was terrible for them. Yuna already knew some of the situation from the mouths of some of the guardsmen she knew.

"What are you going to do?"

Yuna asked and Helt shook his head.

"My child has not thought about it."

Yuna hugged Helt gently and said.

"No matter what choice you make, we will support you."

Hurt hummed, he hugged Yuna gently, and then said in a very thin voice.

"get ready."

Yuna's eyes were solemn. After the two chatted briefly for a while, Helt was taken away. At this time, the Queen was sitting in the room, watching the video of the two chatting just now, always feeling a little strange.

Yuna's reaction was not right. She looked at it carefully and repeatedly, and then asked.

"Do you think he will agree?"

The guard captain nodded.

"Your Majesty, I think he will definitely agree. If he doesn't agree, one of his wives will be executed first."

The queen nodded with satisfaction.

Hurt returned to the room and lay quietly on the bed. Now he basically didn't need to worry about anything. Before the charity dinner, as long as he agreed to the queen's conditions, he could move around freely with his two wives and wait for the dinner. That night, they can leave here.

Now Helt wants to see Katerina and plans to talk to her, so that Katerina will not be so tormented in her heart.

What the Queen said to Katerina surprised Hert at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Hert understood that the Queen was lying to Katerina, and this was just to increase Katerina's love for her. Her favorability.

In fact, the queen succeeded. Hurt looked at the distressed Katerina and could not say anything.

Still unable to sleep properly, Hert stood up, picked up the wine, and drank alone.

Time passed by, and Helt finally fell asleep.

In a daze, Hert saw Stukov again. He wanted to have a good talk with him. The crazy plan he was thinking of now would cause huge harm to mankind once it was implemented.

"Helt, don't do this."

In a trance, Hert saw a blurry world, and Stukov not far away was warning him.

"Why, we are fighting for the rights of human cloning and ending this miserable life."

Stukov did not speak, but at this moment Helt saw a man with white hair and flame patterns on his face. He watched the man walking towards him.

"End your absurdity, Hult."

"Who are you?"

Hurt asked and the man smiled.

"I'm Jean, Helt. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Please forgive me for showing up in this way."

Suddenly Hurt woke up. He looked at the bright sky outside the window and wiped his sweat.

"Who is that man? Gene?"
