Ryder was silent for two seconds, and pinned the sapphire-studded brooch on his blue-and-white military uniform.

He walked to the door with his long legs, and put his hands on the doorknob. Before opening the door, he told the black-haired mermaid: "You are here, don't go anywhere, we will settle the matter. If someone knocks on the door, please don't open it easily, I have the key."

It feels like the mermaid mother telling the little mermaid to stay at home and not to open the door casually, so as not to be abducted by fishmongers outside.

Al looked at the sapphire brooch pinned to the neckline by the blond Duke, and nodded slightly: "If you can keep your promise."

After all, it was a high-end product that cost 10 yuan, and the collar pin used relatively new monitoring technology. Al turned on the monitoring device connected to the collar pin.

The terminal on his wrist was placed in the air to project a poster-sized image, in which the tiny camera on Ryder's collar could scan all the range.

Accompanied by the strong footsteps of Ryder's group, the scenery of the spaceship mouth appeared in front of Al's eyes, and soon Jacob's face was also reflected on the small virtual screen in the room.

Through the real-time image brought by the collar pin, Al could see that Jacob brought many people, including many familiar faces.In the past few days, those faces have been closely following him, for fear that he will run away.

However, these people did not understand him as well as the servants of E1278, and they underestimated his changes, so that he found a chance to escape from Jacob smoothly.

Jacob's face was very ugly, dozens of times darker than when he was with him.Even the subordinates who followed him seemed to be very afraid of him. They obviously surrounded him, but everyone kept a considerable distance from him.

Al has never doubted the child's leadership ability, and he knows how bad Jacob's character is.

Perhaps because of his escape, those subordinates who failed to fulfill their responsibilities have been severely punished. Under the straight suit, there may be a body scarred and bruised after being severely whipped.

But to Al, these are the accomplices responsible for helping Jacob watch over him, even if they are pitiful, they are not worthy of his sympathy.

As the heir of the Angel family, Jacob first lured Ryder: "If you can hand over Al, the spaceship can take off now. I promise that spaceship T1234 will not suffer any attacks in the D12 area. It doesn’t require any fees.”

Ryder's demeanor was indifferent, unwavering in the slightest for this huge benefit, and his tone was even a bit cold: "If I remember correctly, five days ago, we had a contact and meeting with the person in charge of the D12 area of ​​your group , the originally agreed price was temporarily broken because of a word from your group."

The blond duke looked down at the silver-haired boy who was a head shorter than him, and said in an oppressive manner: "Because of this, we have reason to believe that your group will break the contract just as easily after we hand over people. If T1234 Because of this, the spaceship was unable to complete the route smoothly, and was even attacked by the Angel family. I think no citizen of planet E1278 can bear this responsibility.”

"By handing over Al, there is no loss for you. But if you don't do it, you will face antagonism with the Angel family." Jacob has always used coercion and lure to achieve his means in doing things.He is very lucky, he was born in a very large family, and he is also the heir who is highly valued by this family. Basically, he can get anything he wants, and Al is the only exception at present.

Al held his breath subconsciously. He wanted to hear Ryder's answer. If the other party couldn't withstand the pressure and hand him over, he could pretend now and take his own things on another ship that was about to take off. spaceship.

Although life may be harder in this way, it is much better than staying by Jacob's side all the time, being a poor canary.

Some crew members behind Ryder have already wavered. They don't know where Al is now, and they are not familiar with Al. They only know that this is a relatively lucky commoner, and it seems that he is not particularly outstanding among the many contestants. one of.

Common people should feel very lucky to be attracted by a noble like Jacob. For them, if they can be by Jacob's side and rely on the other party's love, they will definitely be able to succeed easily.This is a good thing for Al.

What age is Al now? He is just a high school student who has just graduated. According to the age calculation of a mermaid, he has just grown up, which is the age of impulsive and rebellious.

They handed over Al, not only for huge benefits, but also for the future of Al.

But Al is like a bird that seeks to fly freely in the sky. If its wings are broken and imprisoned in a cage, it will only be very painful.

After a moment of silence, Ryder still rejected Jacob's request: "If it's just because of one person, the Angel family can easily turn against us. I don't think there is any need for such a family to develop for a long time. You You should know that Al is a citizen of my planet, as long as he does not commit any crimes, we are obliged to protect the safety of every E1278 planet."

"Then what if your people commit crimes?" Seeing Ryder's toughness, Jacob finally lost his patience.

He didn't want to tarnish Al's reputation, because he knew very well that if he did so, Al would hate him even more.

But before, he had promised Al and his father that if Al did not appear on Planet D, he would not be able to take the initiative to find him.If Al leaves, I don't know when the next meeting will be.

Jacob Angel has always been a person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Today, even if it may lead to bad results, he must keep Al.

The silver-haired boy raised his chin proudly, and showed the search warrant from the Planet D government: "This is the highest search warrant of the Planet D Federation. Al, a citizen of your planet, carries the priceless treasure handed down from the Angel family."

He said it very euphemistically, carrying, not stealing, this is to save Al's face.

As the Duke of the Empire and the colonel of the Federation, Ryder should really protect any innocent citizen of the E1278 planet.But if this citizen is not innocent, but a thief who has shamed planet E1278, is it worth fighting against the Angel family for such a mermaid?

"We have no reason to believe that there is no basis for suspicion, and we have never seen a search warrant. How can we know whether he is true or not?"

Ryder was not willing to believe that the black-haired mermaid was such a despicable existence. In fact, it was precisely because they wanted to negotiate the transit fee through Jacob's line, they simply investigated the relationship between Al and Jacob. relation.

The black-haired mermaid is obviously a weaker existence between the two. Who would believe that the other party can get the eternal family heirloom of the Angel family from the heavy guards?

"Of course there is evidence." Before coming here, Jacob made all kinds of complete preparations. He showed a stack of photos, showing all kinds of Al, profile photos, front photos, in the library Yes, in the garden.Those wearing high school uniforms were smiling, and some were reading books with their heads down.

Although it seems to be a photo from a long time ago, the person in the photo is indeed Al and there is nothing wrong with it.

"The tail ring on Albert's finger in the photo is a priceless treasure handed down from our Angel family."

It was a very simple tail ring, the pattern looked a bit special, but it was not inlaid with any gemstones, even if it was made of the most expensive metal, it could not match the priceless treasure.

Some nobles who originally wanted to persuade Ryder to reconcile with others silently shut their mouths. A ring like this seems to be worth at most 1 interstellar coins. Hundreds of thousands.

If you want to insist that this is a treasure handed down from a large family, either Jacob is joking, or he is fooling them and treating them as fools.

Ryder recalled that the hands of the black-haired mermaid were always clean, and he had never carried the tail ring. When he was in the room just now, he didn't look carefully, but the other party probably didn't have the tail ring on his hand either. of.

Jacob showed another set of photos, which were photos of the leaders of the Angel family wearing tail rings: "Although the price of this ring is not high, it is a token from our family to the mistress, and you can also enjoy it. The many privileges of our Angel family."

There was an uproar in the audience, the feelings were not here to catch the treasure thief, but to catch the escaped lover.It is said that no matter how wise a judge is, it is difficult to handle emotional disputes well. When it comes to quarrels between young lovers, these mermaids don't care much.

The mermaid even started to complain, that wayward black-haired mermaid made a good thing so stiff.

Seeing the scene on the screen, Al was a little dazed. He carefully recalled when he had worn that tail ring.

It seems that there were Jacobs who pestered him to wear them 2 years ago, but he returned them to Jacob's father long ago, and returned them in front of Jacob. Yes, the other party should be clear about this.

No wonder those photos of him wearing the ring were all 2 years ago.There is no ring, how could he get it out.

The author has something to say: I bought a miniature bug/hearing device, I didn't expect this one to be said that I grew thicker today!
