Empire Spring [Rebirth]
Chapter 20
In the reception hall of the General's Mansion, all the family members in Wangcheng sat in front of the long table. General Pound, who was sitting at the main seat, had a serious expression that many people had never seen before.
Ever since Ben and Simpson disappeared the day before, the entire General's Mansion has been in such a high-pressure state. The other children looked at their father restlessly, thinking of the punishment they would receive, and thinking of Louis who was directly escorted onto the spaceship. I couldn't help shivering just thinking about it.
This matter has something to do with them, even the instigators are them, and it has long been a fact that cannot be concealed, and it is easy to ask from the school and from other accomplices.
As for Dave, who was so cruel that he threw his half-brother into the water the day before, he also deflated like a punctured balloon at this time.At that time, he only wanted to attribute all crimes to accidents, but he never thought that he would take responsibility for this evil thought.Seeing that everything could not be hidden, he hoped more than anyone that Ben and Simpson could return safely, so that he could win his father's leniency.
And Chu Qi is not in the concern of these young people. They believe that their father will not go to war for that inexplicable uncle. The only person who will worry about Chu Qi is Andy.
Andy sat on Pound's lower head, eyes full of anxiety.He didn't close his eyes all night, making his already weak body look extremely haggard, as if he would faint in the next second.
Such a weak Omega, who has nothing but his face, can't even give birth to an Alpha, how can he deserve his father's attention?Nick looked at Andy with disdain, and couldn't help shivering when he inadvertently met General Pound's cold gaze.
"Since you don't care about kinship, you don't need to appear in front of me." General Pound said ruthlessly.
"Father..." Oscar, who was stabbed in the back by Dave, shuddered, and after he realized it, he began to cry and beg for forgiveness.As the youngest child, only he can make such a gesture to try.
General Pound got up and shook him off, clenched his fists, and slammed the table hard.There was a loud noise, and then everyone fell silent.
Only Andy looked at his Alpha coldly, never hated this person so much in these years.Because of these inferior genetic pariahs in Pound's family, and because of these insidious methods, Andy lost all the relatives he could touch in this world overnight.
"I'm sorry, Father, we didn't expect this to happen..." Dave cautiously opened his mouth to defend, "Everyone passed out afterwards, and we don't know who took them away. Maybe it was our uncle who brought his younger brother They have absconded."
"Shut up." Pound looked angrily at himself, the son left behind by his former spouse. He didn't expect that they and Andy had such deep grievances.
He doesn't expect them to get along in harmony, just treat each other as strangers under the same roof, and it's fine if they can't live in harmony and live in peace.
But obviously, he still misjudged people's hearts. Pound looked away in disappointment, remembering the email he received in the morning.
The young people didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and caused such trouble, but it was obvious that they played too big.There are many factions in the coalition government, who can not have a few political enemies?After all, this matter is directed at himself.
"You guys, stay in your own room." After Pound looked at his sons and finished speaking, he turned and said to the adjutant standing behind him, "Find someone to watch them, and you can't leave the room without my permission. "
This is the meaning of confinement. Andy stared blankly ahead, refusing to give them any extra glances.It doesn't matter how these people deal with it, can they get back their son and younger brother in confinement?They can't even compare to Chu Qi's hair.
"I'll give you an explanation." Pound looked at Andy, said with some difficulty, then turned around and walked out straight.
The aircraft landed in front of a quaint courtyard, and guards came forward to salute, and welcomed Pound in after verifying his identity according to strict procedures.
Sitting on the sofa in the hall was an old man with grizzled hair and unattractive appearance, but when he turned his head, his eyes were sharp and sharp, which was the experience accumulated over the years of ups and downs in the officialdom.
"We're here so soon." Seeing Pound, the old man smiled kindly and even kindly.
Pang De looked at him, his eyes darkened, and he bent down at ninety degrees and said respectfully, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are my most proud child, and you will inherit my mantle in the future. How can you bend over such a trivial matter?"
His tone was light and airy, but the dissatisfaction implied in it made Pound feel stressed.Pound has been in the top position for a long time, and he seems to have forgotten this feeling of being completely suppressed, and at this moment, he experienced the unknown shadows of his childhood.
The old man in front of him was Joseph Adolf, the former Prime Minister of the Alliance Government. He was once just a low-level official, but he was able to stand out in the chaos and became a leader who was followed by everyone.Although he himself was recuperating at home due to his old age, many young people who had been promoted by the old Joseph were now in full swing, and they had faintly formed a flourishing faction.It is also because of this that those in power have to be scruples about this old man, and the younger generations are even more in awe of him.
One of the commendable advantages of old Joseph is that he is talented. Pound was born as an orphan and was adopted by him, but he has gone farther in his official career than his biological sons, and his support and care is indispensable.When Pang De was distributing the spoils, he took a fancy to Andy, and it was thanks to Joseph who dealt with him that he could get his wish.
His feelings for this adoptive father are very complicated, he is grateful but not close, and there is a faint pressure that he always feels that he is not good enough in front of the other party.For example, at this time, because of the troubles caused by the restlessness of his home, Pang De was still a little embarrassed to ask his adoptive father to come forward for help.
Old Joseph patted him on the shoulder: "Some people finally couldn't bear it anymore. It's not that they are ignorant children, but they see that I am old and useless."
Pound wanted to say something, but Old Joseph held his shoulders: "Since you want to make a big deal, let's see what skills they have developed now. Your child fell into their hands and said they wanted you What did you get in exchange?"
Embarrassment mixed with anger flashed in Pound's eyes. He opened the mail system in his wristband, and a naked declaration of war was immediately projected on the white wall.
The email was written very simply, to the effect that it was agreed to share the spoils at the beginning, and if you Pound monopolize one, you want to monopolize the second, so you can exchange the first one.There is no disadvantage in exchanging one for three.
It doesn't matter whether Pound will agree to it if it's a private transaction, and now he is blatantly threatening to ask him for his legal spouse, any bloody Alpha can't stand it.
Looking at Pound with a livid face, Old Joseph said lightly: "They may not really want to tear you apart, they just threatened you with this. However, it happened to be when the imperial envoy came to discuss cooperation. Don't think too much about it."
"After the government of Planet Amyk surrenders to the empire, the empire will inevitably send troops. The original army is already in an awkward position. At this juncture, you especially can't act impulsively and do things that violate the agreement and privately deploy troops. Think about how to preserve your strength, compare Speaking of which, it’s really not worth mentioning that a case like a missing family member can be handled by the security police. Of course, it’s okay to do something in private to recover the situation.”
What Pang De wanted on this trip was his words, and his expression immediately relaxed a lot.
Old Joseph glanced at him and reminded: "Everyone knows how to measure. Although your two sons are both Omega, but one is ten years old and the other is seven years old, nothing serious will happen. Those people haven't lost their minds yet. For this sake."
"But, they still have an uncle..." Pound suddenly remembered how much Andy cared about his younger brother, and subconsciously asked.
Old Joseph stared into his eyes immediately, and asked suspiciously: "You don't really miss that little Ron family, do you?"
Pound's heart sank: "So he is hopeless?"
Old Joseph smiled, "That's not a good idea. The Chief Police Department arrested him, but he is still under the control of the Secret Service, so you don't have to wade through this muddy water."
Now that he had the approval of the leader behind the scenes, Pang De had nothing to worry about. He used the name of looking for someone to arrest many dandies from the high-level families of the police station, and everyone panicked for a while.
After several twists and turns, several high-level officials finally decided to sit down and negotiate. The subject of the negotiation was the division of armed forces after surrendering to the empire, and it also meant to ease the relationship.
Pound sat firmly in the middle as a representative of the military, Nicholas, the Minister of the Secret Service, sat on his left, and Cairns, the Chief of Police, sat on the right.
Keynes was young and energetic, and he rose to the top after the war. He did not pay attention to many generals who were born in the military.He originally wanted to test Pound's attitude. It would be better for the other party to send troops to rescue him in a rage.If he is still unmoved after arresting his son, then there is nothing to worry about if this person is not bloody.Unexpectedly, Pound took revenge in private like this, which made Keynes a little bit overwhelmed.
He picked something and suffered a dark loss. At this time, he had to stand up and apologize first: "Your Excellency, they are all children who are ignorant. I have already reprimanded them. Don't worry, the young master eats and drinks well." There are still people playing with you, for your sake, you don't dare to let them be wronged."
Pang De looked over coldly: "Those of your family are doing well, and they seem to want to play for two more days."
"Let them play if they want to play. How can I not worry about you?" Cairns said with a smile, "The two young masters sent someone to send them back after the meeting. Come over to play anytime in the future. If you It can be seen that many of us want to marry you."
"When the dog is only a few years old, he is too impatient to mention marriage." Pound said expressionlessly.
Keynes had already lowered his posture, but he didn't expect Pound to be ungrateful, so he became a little angry and stopped talking. The atmosphere froze for a while, and Nicholas, who had been watching the play by the side, said in a timely manner: "The matter between you two is settled, Director, there is someone under my command who is your guest, when will you send it back to me?"
Nicholas was also very annoyed in his heart. Chu Qi never came out after entering the general's mansion, so Simon had to go back to his command alone. This kind of behavior without face made him extremely dissatisfied with Pound.In addition, he was cut off by Keynes later, and the hatred value was divided in half by the young director.In the context of disarmament, the military, the secret service, and the police station are all in a relationship that is one and the other. With such a sudden incident, it is basically impossible for the leaders to laugh away their grievances and enmities.Thanks to the presence of old Joseph, they didn't dare to go too far.
Keynes didn't take advantage of Pound, and when he saw Nicholas stepping on his feet, he couldn't help sneering: "Let's be honest, we don't say dark words, and if they are with me, they are just sent to the secret service or the general's mansion. I can’t get an idea even after half a meeting.”
The provocation implied in this sentence is too obvious, but it is very effective. Nicholas chuckled: "Anyway, they are all surnamed Ron, and I don't mind which one is returned."
Pound's face darkened when he heard the words. Sure enough, the two had colluded in advance. Then, the provocation in that email was actually meant by Nicholas? "It seems that the secret service also needs to clean up." He said coldly.
Nicholas is also a person who came from the war-torn era together, and his qualifications are much higher than Keynes, so he is not afraid of him: "Are you trying to violate the original contract?"
Pang De didn't answer directly, but retorted: "It's the director who violated the agreement, right? Of course, when the agreement was first made, he might have been running around with his nose dragging his nose. Naturally, he didn't know about it."
"You..." Keynes hated people saying that he was young and inexperienced the most, and he couldn't hold back his temper for a moment and suddenly got up, his face flushed.
The focus of the debate is on Chu Qi, and now no one cares about the agreement that everyone knew but was not easy to announce. At this time, whoever gets the right to dispose of the little prince first seems to mean that which side is in charge. The momentum overwhelmed the opponent, and the negotiations fell into a stalemate for a while, and they couldn't go on.
Suddenly, the communicators of several people issued a reminder at the same time. The ringtones were the same and vibrated continuously. It was a unified secret order issued by the cabinet.
They opened it to look at it, but saw that the notice issued by the secretariat contained only a short line: The special envoy of the empire made a request and hoped to be entertained by the program team of "The Supreme Food in the Universe", and specially named several guests from the previous issue.
The name list is attached at the back, and the three of them looked at each other after seeing it. What's the situation?At the beginning, I didn't want to take the medicine and send it to bed, but let such a stunning beauty just cook him a meal?His Royal Highness really has a unique hobby...
And their previous quarrel turned into a joke in front of this short line. What kind of conspiracy and calculations are useless in the face of absolute power.Faced with such a small request from the future head of state of the empire, what else can they say?Even if he vomited blood in his heart, he could only secretly think that this could be regarded as a solution to the previous predicament... His Royal Highness is indeed wise and powerful.
His Highness's adjutant Alger also held the same view. When he learned that William had come up with such a method, he was unable to speak for a long time.
"Since you can't let it go, and you can't wrong your own feelings, it's okay to go back. It's just that you have to change your identity, and of course you can't be a lover, so let's take him back as a cook." William felt that he was simply a genius.
After doing a long time of psychological construction and repairing his three views, Alger said with a blank face: "It's still possible to do this, Your Highness is really wise and powerful."
Ever since Ben and Simpson disappeared the day before, the entire General's Mansion has been in such a high-pressure state. The other children looked at their father restlessly, thinking of the punishment they would receive, and thinking of Louis who was directly escorted onto the spaceship. I couldn't help shivering just thinking about it.
