under the mask

Seth sat by the bed and looked at Li Wei, without speaking for a long time.In fact, although they have always lived in the same dormitory, their relationship has never been far or close. Li Wei was secretly wary of him, so naturally he would not take the initiative to show his friendship. Coupled with the troubles at home, they rarely saw each other in the first few months , It's rare to say a few words, but it's not painful.

What happened to Li Wei and those two surprised him, and he couldn't tell what his mentality was, so he stepped in to help.He still remembered Emilia's surprised look, probably she never expected that she would help Li Wei regardless of her family.

"It would be great if I could... before leaving the auxiliary star." Seth unconsciously stared at Li Wei's stomach and muttered to himself.

Li Wei raised his eyebrows and thought about it in his heart. The information that Seth found for him before was not completely useless. The process of human males relying on artificial wombs to conceive fetuses is very difficult, and some wombs were taken out early... He should ask Russell Er, it would be great if the eggs could be taken out a little earlier.He must participate in this screening. Think about it, if it weren't for Danzi, he would definitely be eager to sign up.

"Fortunately, Grad's influence in the military is not too great," he said, "If he can cover the sky with one hand in the military department like he is in the cabinet, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the few of us to participate in the screening..."

"Really?" Seth pondered for a few seconds, then smiled: "Indeed, you and Kevin are in the battleship unit, Pompey and Amelia will definitely go to the interstellar fortress, Kashi is in the land mech unit, and I I will report to the Mechanized Infantry Squad.” If such a few people can be successful—according to their family backgrounds in the army and their relationship with each other, it is no problem to be successful—then it is conceivable that a group of people will be formed. What a dreadful web of power.

Thinking about it this way, they should really be glad.Although the five major families are under the control of the cabinet except for the Spar family, the cabinet is the cabinet, and the military department is the military department. They are restricted by Greed in the cabinet. They are not fools. It is precisely because they are controlled by Grad everywhere in the central city that they must carefully protect their power in the military headquarters. Otherwise, when they have nothing, what is waiting for them is Grad's shovel to come over and take them together with them. The family was uprooted together.

But if Greid can't do it, does it mean he doesn't want to?

of course not.

The lively dinner ended, and the host and guest had a good time, but the guests chatted happily and boarded their own aircrafts and dispersed, leaving the leftovers to be cleaned up by the host. Even the delicate and expensive roses were wilted, showing a After a bit of fun, the mood fades.For Grad, the purpose of holding this banquet was not achieved. Although he may not really attach much importance to Levi's pawn, the unexpected result still made him very unhappy.

"Is baby asleep?" He leaned on the sofa, rubbing the center of his eyebrows, looking very tired.

"Already asleep," the secretary and nanny Marianne nodded hurriedly, "I fell asleep after listening to two stories."

When Gradle heard about Aiko, his eyes became softer: "Remember to pick up the ordered cake tomorrow. I want to celebrate the baby's birthday alone." The so-called birthday party is just a gimmick. When it comes to children, the father and son will have a good day together alone, and the baby will be happier.

Marianne responded respectfully on the surface, but she was subtly disdainful in her heart.She loves her child so much, and still does those nasty things all the time... I'm not afraid to let the young master know about it in the future.

Greed couldn't hear the slander in his glamorous secretary's heart. He took a sip from a glass of wine and thought about Levi again.Now that Li Wei has undergone surgery to stop the pregnancy, there is no need to keep the dead guests of Drake. It is up to Scott to dispose of them or drive them out of the planet.

It has to be mentioned here that the reason why Grad was able to arbitrarily decide the fate of those dragonmen with such confidence is also related to the identity of the dead guest of the other party.Basically, the Goddess galaxy is similar to the nearby galaxies. The dead or dead prisoners will be marked inside their bodies. As long as they smuggle onto any planet, no matter what actions they take or consume, their crimes will be revealed. Record and exile number.The punishment of the shapeshifter galaxy is even more serious, that is, to deprive them of the ability to transform. For the dragon people, when they maintain their shapeshifting, two hard bones on their skulls are surgically removed, which are equivalent to the dragon horns. In human form, it is no longer possible to change form.

It may be difficult for human beings to deal with a few crazy dragons, but the dragonmen who are only stronger than humans are nothing to be afraid of.

He thought of Russell again, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of doubt.He doesn't know this Russell very well, but the other party is too outstanding in the research of military weapons. Although he is only a scientific research team leader in the military science institute, he has faintly become the leader of the entire military research system... Such a person , was born in Central City, and has a successful career, what is the reason... Speaking of which, the information he got in his hand was only Russell's experience after he was adopted when he was a teenager. Could it be that the other party and Claude what is the relationship?Otherwise, why would you want to help Claude's two adopted sons escape after knowing your original plan?

Although he was used by him in the end, he still let those two cubs escape after all.

When the thoughts came here, Gradle's face became gloomy and unpredictable.If it weren't for the "ultra-small interstellar fortress" project that Russell is currently working on, it is too important to Jialai Vance... and Scott, Scott also values ​​​​Russell too much.

"Where's the Skett?" he asked Marianne, looking up. "Are you at the dinner party?"

Marianne thought for a while: "Mr. Scott didn't come to the dinner."

Gradle pondered for a moment, put down his wine glass and stood up.Not here... that's going to the lab.

"Prepare my car and go to the parliament building."

Marianne hastily responded, stepping on her high-heeled shoes and following in small steps.

The pure black aircraft drove silently on the suspended road, except for the lights floating on both sides of the road, only the night was dark.Grad was sitting near the window and staring out of the car window. After entering the central city from the first district, the surrounding silence and darkness suddenly turned into the bright splendor of the city. Layers of suspended roads staggered up and down. There are colorful light boards on each floor of the building, and the huge light screen plays various advertisements day and night.

Looking up or down, you can see countless densely packed aircraft passing between buildings along the road.

This is the world he once longed for.

When he turned his eyes, the aircraft was passing the suspended road in front of the eighth-floor Paramount Palace. The statues on the splendid and beautiful pure white building embracing the world with open arms were like a huge temptation, tempting The desires of the world...

He had lived in it for several years in this noble abode that everyone desired.

In the year when he first entered the Paramount Palace, he toured the central city with Rebis and Claude. He remembered that he was in awe and enviously saying to Rebis, saying, Your Highness, these futures belong to you Is it?

Rebis looked back at him and didn't answer, but smiled.

'Stupid, these belong to all citizens. 'Claude said solemnly.

It was a long time later that he realized that whether it was Rebis's smile or Claude's answer, it was a kind of contempt for him.Those who easily indulge in power are just ordinary people, and those who know how to share power are the superiors.But there is no need for him to understand these principles, because he does not deserve to have them at all.

Grad smiled slightly, and found from the reflection of the car window that the smile on his mouth was very similar to that of Rebis back then.

"Is there any news from the queen these days?" He was in a much happier mood and asked.

Marianne's heart trembled, and she paused for a second before answering: "My lord...Miss Wen Geli looked for you half, half a month ago."

Grad's smile froze, and he said expressionlessly for a while: "I forgot, let her stay. To be honest, it is my blessing to be a father."

The glamorous female secretary cowardly said yes, her head lowered almost to her towering chest.She couldn't help feeling sympathetic when she thought of the communication she received half a month ago. In her impression, Miss Wen Geli was extremely cool and elegant, she was simply the most qualified lady from a famous family she could imagine, but in the communication the hoarse , collapsed, hysterical female voice really Wen Geli?

How could a father force his daughter to be like this?I heard that His Majesty Rebis has been unable to get out of bed for several years. Even if he is the emperor, he is not a good choice for a son-in-law...Since Miss Wen Geli is pregnant, isn't it natural to want to return to her relatives to wait for delivery? Anyway, adults have high positions and powers, and no one dares to comment...

But what was the last sentence that Miss Wen Geli wanted to say, why did she hang up all of a sudden... When Mrs. Gradle came back and listened to the recording, she first stared at herself fiercely for a while, and then coldly asked her to tell Pa The steward of the Lamont Palace took good care of Miss Wen Geli and firmly forbade her to step out of the bedroom.

why?

Marian stared blankly at her clenched hands, suddenly felt out of breath and felt cold all over.No...or...don't think too much about it, what does that have to do with me?After all, she is just a little secretary, her salary is hard to get, and her boss is so difficult to mess with. The only good thing is that he is not interested in women...

The two sat in the aircraft with their own thoughts, one was deep in thought, the other was restless, and there were four bodyguards who looked like wooden piles beside them.

After arriving at the parliament building, Gradle led the bodyguards and secretary through the hall on the eighth floor, and came outside the luxuriously decorated private elevator.

"You go back to the office first, and you can go back after tomorrow's schedule is arranged." He turned and told Marianne.

Marianne didn't dare to ask any more questions, and after bowing to salute, she took the public elevator next to her to the top floor.Grad opened the elevator and entered with four bodyguards.No one knew where he was going, including the parliament and the cabinet, and no one thought that there was a secret experimental base under Palad. However, he was not worried that the bodyguards beside him would leak the secret, instead The bodyguard followed, that's what made people curious.

The area of ​​Parad itself is not too big. Except for the interrogation room and the monitoring room, each department has only one office, which adds up to the area of ​​one floor. However, the laboratory located under Palad is like It is a huge beehive underground. Except for the most central monitoring room, there are dense passages and laboratories extending around it. There are rooms one after another, and many elevators can only reach special floors. It is extremely complicated.

That's pretty much all of Greed's possessions and decades of painstaking efforts.

"Where is Scott?" After passing through the cleaning cabin, he put on his isolation suit and walked out.A female researcher also wearing an isolation suit stood outside and waited for him. When he came out, she followed him at a distance of half a meter.

"He's in the observation room No. [-]." The female researcher named Leia said quickly: "The fusion agent has not been tested on humans after it came out, and Scott said he wants to try it himself."

"Nonsense!" Grad frowned: "He is not allowed to enter the laboratory, and he is not allowed to touch the experimental results!"

Leia nodded in agreement, and followed Grade into the narrow elevator: "Scott should also understand what the adults mean. After we discouraged him, he just insisted on watching the process of the human experiment...I think he seems very dissatisfied with the status quo."

Are you dissatisfied... Grad snorted lightly. He could not understand Scott's thoughts very well. Ever since the child received the genetic improvement medicine from the experimental base and was completely reborn, he believed that his personal strength had surpassed human beings...but he was rejected by the two A dragonling cub was hit.

Well... and Levi Spall.

A half-smile flashed across Greid's face. He didn't look at the surveillance video, but it was clearly written in the report. Obviously, Scott made some unexpected moves towards Li Wei, and for some reason he was caught by Li Wei. Vege is enraged and suddenly loses control...

Scott's body was indeed superior to that of a human being, and the improvement potion was considered a success based on this alone—but his mind regressed afterwards, and his character became as brutal and bloody as a beast, and as cold and ruthless as a machine.The most important thing is that this kind of Scott is already the only sample in that batch that survived and whose body has been transformed, and who can still retain human memory and reason.

So their experiments had to continue, otherwise, what effect would it have on him if they created a batch of wild beasts that could go mad at any time?

The elevator opened silently to both sides, and the young prime minister walked out after taking a deep breath, his head still spinning non-stop.He is eager to see the effect of this unknown generation of fusion agent, but he understands in his heart that without the stock solution of the gene repair agent that Claude took away back then, the effect of the fusion agent they developed now It is impossible to be perfect.

stock solution...

Grad didn't notice the female researcher's inquisitive gaze at all. He frowned and felt a headache, feeling a little more annoyed with Li Wei in his heart.If it wasn't for this inexplicable variable, if it was still the same as the year before, maybe he would have caught those two cunning Derek star cubs a long time ago, didn't Claude value love and righteousness, then even if he was just an adopted son, it would not be easy Abandon it?

It's too late to say anything now.
