Angels Are Not Birdmen [Interstellar]

"Jeffrey, the reinforcements are coming soon." Lydia unconsciously stirred the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and her big blue eyes were filled with bewilderment.

Geoffrey took Lydia's palm, pulled the hem out of her fingertips, and smoothed it gently. "Don't be nervous, Mr. Lu and General Si are very easy to get along with. As long as they don't touch their bottom line, they can complete the task smoothly."

"I don't care about the task, I only worry about you." Lydia held Jeffrey's palm back, and her small body retracted into his arms. "The Tabor Pirates have participated in the Alvindo Star Project. What if someone finds out your identity? Why did Grandpa let us accept the mission? He doesn't care about your safety at all! It's really annoying!"

She said 'hate' but there was no trace of disgust in her expression, except for a little uneasiness, there was only the little daughter's coquettishness on her face.

"This is all my idea, don't wrong grandpa." Jeffrey stroked the girl's blue hair with a slight smile in his tone.

"Your idea? Why are you so adventurous?!" Lydia avoided Jeffrey's palm with an angry look. "Previously the Owendo planet's plan was so dangerous, you insisted on going despite the obstruction. This time, the reinforcements may reveal your identity, so please take the initiative to ask for your life without asking my opinion!"

Her eyes were a little moist as she spoke, and tears seemed likely to flow down at any time. "Jeffrey, you..."

"My fault." Jeffrey took the initiative to admit his mistake without waiting for Lydia to finish.

He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Lydia's eyes, leaned over and whispered in her ear. "There will be no danger this time, trust me, huh?"

"I don't believe you!" Lydia turned her head angrily, but her blue eyes secretly glanced at Jeffrey.The words are full of momentum, but they look like they want to be coaxed.

"Am I so untrustworthy?" Jeffrey reached out and took Lydia's palm, smiling at her swollen face.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to coax, but that there is no way to explain many behaviors to Lydia.

It was impossible for him to tell Lydia that when he went to Alvindor Star, he didn't want to go alone, but he had to go.He was unable to refuse the order from the Liang family.Only a handful of people knew about the former affiliation of the Tabor Pirates, and it is even more inappropriate to mention it now.

It is even more impossible for him to tell Lydia that the reinforcement generals sent by the empire are his own, and that he is the undercover agent of the empire who sneaked into the federation.

Thoughts flashed through Jeffrey's mind, and he just looked at the girl with a smile on his face.

He looked at Lydia with concentrated eyes, and his face was soon stained with blush. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that next time you make a decision, just let me know in advance!"

"Okay." Jeffrey didn't refuse.

As for the next time, let's wait until the next time.

He and Lydia have known each other for nearly ten years, so of course they know how to coax a little girl.

"You always promise readily." Lydia also knew Jeffrey.

She rubbed against Jeffrey's chest in dissatisfaction, messing up his Zhouzheng clothes.

Although she is not very good at handling family affairs, it is obvious that others will not believe a word casually.

The reason why Jeffrey had to deal with it again and again was because she wanted to.

Lydia messed up the clothes, and felt embarrassed before the owner of the clothes reacted.

She hastily tidied up the messy clothes, worry appeared in her eyes again. "Jeffrey, your participation in the Owendo star project will not be exposed?"

"Definitely not!" Jeffrey was very sure, "The people who participated in the plan at the beginning were all disguised, and no one in the empire would know our identities. Only the top leaders of the Federation knew the details, and it was impossible for them to tell the empire the truth."

The Owendo Star Project is originally led by the Federation, and exposing the forces involved in the plan is equivalent to exposing itself, and the major families of the Federation are not that stupid.

They did have some camouflage in the plan, but that camouflage didn't work at all.When the matter develops to that point, the two sides will either die or die, and it is meaningless to conceal their identities.

Not to mention pretending, most of the time they communicate with each other by their full names, fools can know their true identities.

However, how effective the camouflage is is not important.

Now they are all subordinates of Mr. Lu, fighting for the same goal.

No one would give away what was going on, only try to help cover it up.Some unexplainable things can be attributed to the mutated spar mine.

It is no secret that the spar mine on the planet Owendo has changed, not to mention that everyone knows it, and the high-level officials of the Federation and the Empire have also heard about it.

The change in the spar mine made everything seem reasonable, even if some people had doubts, no evidence could be found.

"As long as they don't discover your identity, there's nothing to worry about." Lydia obviously relaxed a lot, "The reinforcements from the empire are far less terrifying than the herd of beasts! Jeffrey, you have to protect me! "

"I will protect you with my life." Jeffrey saw through Lydia's thoughts at a glance.

She said she wasn't worried, but actually wanted to tie him firmly by her side.

Although Lydia doesn't have the ability to carry the Platinum family, but her combat power is not weak, and she doesn't need special protection at all.

If he hadn't met Mr. Lu by chance, and won Mr. Lu's favor, the combat power of the two would only be between equals.

Now Jeffrey's ability cultivation is one level higher than Lydia's. He is sss level, and Lydia is ss level.

SS-level superhumans, even if they are targeted by ferocious beasts of the same level, still have the ability to retreat completely.

Lydia is the little princess of the Platinum family and the future heir, with countless cards.Even with the current strength of Jeffrey, Jeffrey can't resist the risk that he can't deal with it when all the cards are exhausted.

The so-called protection is just an excuse.If you had to say 'protection', it was because Lydia wanted to use her identity to protect him.

"That's what you said!" Lydia's eyes lit up.

Jeffrey wanted to say something more, but the light brains on their wrists lit up at the same time.

"The troops of the Elton family came to support?!" Lydia was a little puzzled. "The residence of the Elton family is not close to Somia. How did the troops arrive so quickly?"

"As long as you are willing to pay the price, you can achieve quick support." Jeffrey was not too surprised.

The Elton family has always wanted to open up the situation, and now is a good opportunity, but it needs to cost some money.

"Since he can send reinforcements, why wait until the Federation asks the Empire for help?" Lydia was puzzled.

"The Somia star belongs to the Williams family, and Elton doesn't want to lose resources to make a wedding dress for Williams." Jeffrey understands the Elton family's thinking very well. "The same is the loss of resources, and now they are for themselves."

The troops of the Elton family arrived a few days later than them, and the resources lost by sending one person would be less than them.

But a small army has at least tens of thousands of people, and the resources consumed in total are absolutely astronomical.

The Elton family is willing to hemorrhage in order to open up the situation, but they are unwilling to pay the price to protect the Federation.

This is a very simple reason, and other families may also make the same choice.

"The lieutenant general of Elton's army seems to be an acquaintance?" Lydia glanced at her head and frowned again.

"Hawthorne." Jeffrey couldn't help smiling.

Before that, Hawthorne and he participated in the Owendo Project at the same time. On the surface, he represented the Federation, and Hawthorne represented the Kirk family of the empire.

The Owendo incident ended, and Hawthorne did not return to the Empire, but went to the Federation.Not only is the Kirk family not allowed, but he himself is not very happy.

Lu Yu has a lot of power within the empire, and even if they return to the empire, they can help Lu Yu to a very limited extent, far less valuable than outside the empire.

The Kirk family's recent progress in the empire has not been smooth, and they have long intended to develop in the federal territory.Since Hawthorne had contact with federal personnel, he became the best candidate for the Kirk family to go deep into the federation.

Although the Ardern family, which has the deepest connection with the Kirk family, has been removed from the federation, the federation does not want to give up a powerful ally in the empire.The Elton family, which was once the closest to the Ardern family, took the initiative to accept Hawthorne and provided some convenience for him.

Hawthorne's identity is no secret among the top federal officials.At first, his position was very awkward.After a period of development, it gradually gained a firm foothold in the federation.

Naturally, Jeffrey's secret help and the Kirk family's selfless dedication are indispensable.

It is not an easy task for a large family to move from the empire to the federation, and the interests of many people may be touched during the process.

The Kirk family understands the thinking of the top leaders of the Federation, and they do not hesitate to waste resources and benefits in exchange for the opportunity to gain a foothold in the Federation.

Now that the Federation no longer excludes the Kirk family, it seems that the Kirk family of the Empire may become the Kirk family of the Federation at any time.

The smile on Jeffrey's face deepened, and Hawthorn was looking forward to the day when the Kirk family would be transferred, and he was also looking forward to it.

"You have a good relationship with Hawthorne?" Lydia asked.

"Although the Kirk family cannot be close friends, Hawthorne is a good friend." Jeffrey did not hide his approval of Hawthorne.

It was no secret that he and Hawthorne had known each other, and the two had had a lot of exchanges during the implementation of the plan. "The Elton family brought Hawthorn here, and they should have considered our relationship."

"The Elton family actually plotted against you?!" Lydia was like a cat that had been stabbed in the throat, and the 'hair' all over her body exploded.

"It's not a calculation, they just hope that the little princess will make it easier for me." Jeffrey pinched Lydia's bulging face.

Most of the anger in Lydia's heart disappeared immediately, and her big blue eyes blinked. "Then do you want me to save face?"

"Me?" Jeffrey met those blue eyes, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I just want the little princess to be happy."

Even if he doesn't say anything, Lydia will give this face.Excessive words will only spoil the atmosphere.

Jeffrey is obviously a partner who knows how to maintain the atmosphere. He seems to have given Lydia a choice, but in fact he has already determined the answer.It can not only satisfy myself, but also make Lydia happy.

"You just said it nicely." Lydia was dissatisfied with her mouth, but she was very happy in her heart.

Hawthorne was directly classified by her as one of her own people. As for the Elton family who came to support... what is that?She is giving Jeffrey face, what does she have to do with the Elton family?
