"Ali, sorry for waking you." Whitney's bracelet id holographic screen showed an image of Lucio lying on his side, just waking up with a frown of confused cuteness, looking so deliciously seductive that Whitney's voice was inexplicably gentle as he spoke.

K'Audrina Ruiz parted his lips in displeasure and said.

"Major Frisman? What can I do for you at this late hour?" The figure of Aelita in a white lab coat surfaced on the video call.

"Abraham and I were talking about the disposal of the insect corpses that have piled up in and around the city." A sidekick, K'Audrina Ruiz, clarified.

The call hung up and Lucio got up, braced himself out of his hospital gown and began to change into his military uniform. As he dressed, he began to sketch the entire terrain outside the hospital gates in his head.

Using the cover of the bushes, Lucio scampered under the fence on the left, and then, like a cat, scraped against the wall and flipped up, almost reaching the top of the wall, with a force of hi

    And then there are these mutineers who are so mistreated simply because there are parts of their minds that are not conducive to the rule of the ruler. They cannot even be called human beings, and are no different from domestic animals that are called upon to live and kill when they are useless at mercy? Even for people like Samuel, killing these people was a gift to them, because their deaths contributed to the society and so they were allowed to die, which, when he thinks about it, is even worse than domestic animals."Each man holds a micro-charge and has a gun and saber on him."Lucio, Whitney and K'Audrina Ruiz got into the armored car and watched as the heavily armed soldiers stormed into the hospital and searched. The minutes ticked by and Lucio was in a cold sweat, almost as if seconds were ticking by.Lucio dragged him into the grass, breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to stalk towards the gate."Benefactor! What are you doing here?"Lucio exhibited a black cloth,

    The two met secretly in Whitney's tent, and no one paid any attention to them outside as the three squadrons of soldiers were in the midst of dismantling their tents and packing up their armaments."Get up!" What awaited him was a high raised whip.With blood stains hanging from his lips, enchanting as if he were a voluptuous rose, he flicked his vermilion lips and said.Lucio nodded cautiously."What I want is not something you will go through fire for; what I want is simple, and I'm afraid you won't give it. I don't want to play too many tricks on you, but I'm afraid you don't believe it in your heart. That's all right; time will tell."Whitney and Audrina Ruiz, even when negotiating with Samuel, would never have explicitly said "we're going to save the mutineers".Lucio lowered his head, closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and squeezed his fists. He could feel that his unusual reaction had caused all of the soldiers escorting his to go berserk. If he moved at all, the battle would

    "Then you're still going, wait, I'll find someone to ask." Nola Franks pulled his back.The naming of the streets is also interesting, with the north-south streets being essentially German nomenclature and the east-west streets being England nomenclature, representing the two most heady ethnic descendants at the moment. The Chang'an Region, to which Lucio and the girls were headed, was one of the twelve regions of Gaia's main city, located in the southeast corner of the circular map, and the journey from the west train station in the southwest corner to the Chang'an Region required a journey across the radius of the circular city, taking at least three hours by car.Nola Franks pondered for a moment and said, "I suppose so, your great name of Lucio, the God of War, has now spread throughout the Federation, including some of the bigwigs in the center who have probably noticed you, and your god-like battle record in Ares is there for all to see. Grand Admiral Frisman will reward you for

    "I'm clean with Missy..." That came out a little weak from Lucio."It's fine, I'll be at school all tomorrow, just meet me in my office when you're done, I'll be waiting for you." The Whitney in the video shifted and seemed to sit up straight, then came closer to the screen and said, "Remember, it's the Mecha Systems Academy office building, I'm on the fourth floor, just ask someone when you get there. You're not allowed to not show up or I'll send someone to arrest you."Lucio watched his play bitchy with a blank face, even as he wanted to kick his."Not together is not together, alas... We can't help it as soldiers." Nola Franks lamented."Ouch, you pick up the acme." Nola Franks was laughing so hard he was going off on a tangent."Hahahaha, why are you reacting so acutely, Rod?" Nola Franks laughed as he helped his with the tissues.Nola Franks had told his all this last night, and if Lucio hadn't asked a question out of curiosity, it would have been a joke today, and Nola Franks d

    "Which one do you want?"A glass of water was handed over to him, Whitney still smiling and looking at him without saying anything. lucio was once bitten by a snake, he hesitated for a long time before taking a small sip of the white water, tasting it as ordinary water, before he dared to take a big gulp."Captain Mak, by way of introduction, this is my research assistant, Staff Sergeant Aisha Abdullah Idan Rahd Nasser Al Saud, a descendant of the Saudi royal family a hundred years ago." Whitney's eyes rolled and he continued with a smile, "They have a rule for people of Arab descent, they have to call each other by their full name or they are disrespecting them. Captain Mak, call it once and listen to it."Lucio locked his brow and thought carefully about what Whitney had said, this was the first time he had been told this information and it would take time to digest it.Whitney also gave Lucio time by not rushing to say a third thing. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. wh

    Lucio had wanted to visit the orphanage where his body's original owner had lived as a child, but because of the day's events, he didn't dare stay in Styles any longer and took Mary and Jael by rail, quickly returning to the Military First Brigade compound in the Changan Region."Is the lobby of every measurement facility like this? I've been in the military, not really sure." Lucio asked.Lucio's face paled and his chopsticks stuttered in his hands."Moll does not feel wrong, Bishop Elizabeth. My allegiance is sincerely to my camp and to the supreme God of Orderly Neutrality, and I will not allow anyone to exist who stirs up the order." Moore said.Mary nodded, "Major Frisman should indeed be thanked properly, I'm afraid Jael and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for his.""Why would a student of intelligence be a lead officer in the Military?" Lucio asked.Mary said that people live a life where they can bend and stretch, but Lucio felt that people live a life where they have to bow

    "Eh?" Lucio was startled."Is that so? I came to ask Major Frisman to dinner, and when the Major rebuffed me, I naturally left." Lucio chuckled.Lucio was flanked by the expressionless maid who still helped carry her dress, and Sakura-hua was in the back, helping Whitney with his handbag. Lucio came to the car door and bent over, careful to watch that Whitney's head didn't touch, and placed his in the seat.Whitney withdrew his hand that was hooked around Lucio's and gave his an affectionate pinch on the cheek, smiling at him. Lucio strained his face, but it slowly flushed. He gathers his clothes as if to hide it, then goes around to the other side and gets in."So, where are you taking me to dinner?""That's a big help." Lucio rejoiced, then found a package, folded the clothes and put them away in it, and gave it to Mary.Whitney had told his to dress formally for tomorrow, and Lucio had gone through his wardrobe, but the only formal clothing he had was his military uniform.

    The last point, and the one that disturbed his the most, was what exactly was Whitney up to, and how did he want to lure Pierre in?Whitney gave the standard unmistakable formulaic smile and looked around, unafraid. Then, squeezing the words out of his teeth, he addressed Lucio."Haha, the Captain needn't mind, it's nothing I can talk to you about. The reason why my aunt hates to be called Mrs. Frisman is because he is not anyone's wife, he is at the helm of Mo's and is not an appendage to anyone, he and my aunt are on equal footing with each other, no one is over anyone. Outsiders might not believe it when they said it, but that was the reason. Aunt and uncle's family is very democratic and equal, they often have family meetings and vote by a show of hands on some family matters, which seems very funny to us relatives. In fact, the aunt and uncle were very much in love with each other."Whitney, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for ages." Sistine greeted, looking at Whi

    At the mention of it, Gabriela Pratt's mouth turned down in regret, "It's all Whitney's fault, saying there's so much treasure in this well and having to dig up some kind of treasure. And now it's turned into this..."The Grand Admiral's House had a visitor, a distant relative of his mother's who was in the main city of Gaia on business and had stopped by to visit the Grand Admiral's House. Whitney remembered that the visitor was his first cousin, his mother's distant cousin - Lamar Conway Yeon. The first cousin had brought his marriage partner, also a woman, and their child, a girl his age, to the Grand Admiral's house and had stayed there ever since. During this time Whitney used to go and play with the girl, only the girl was exceptionally rigid and earnest, and knew nothing at all of Whitney's jokes, and had to argue everything on its merits.Whitney later became unhappy and did not go to his again."Perhaps it would be warmer for us to cuddle together."

    Yes, there's nothing to regret, and decades later Lucio, the beginnings remain the same."Ugh? So... Did Grand Admiral Frisman agree?" Porter asked with some concern.After rendezvousing, without further ado, the group immediately made a quick break for the prison, and as they walked, Aiyang pantingly explained the current situation.Whitney pursed his lips and gripped the steering wheel, but his eyes couldn't stop drifting in Lucio's direction, who sat painfully in his seat, his eyes closed, his body grey and dull, cold sweat oozing out. His injuries were not light, if it were a normal person, he probably wouldn't have been able to move, thanks to his being able to hold on until now. He had been shot once in his left shoulder, once in his left upper arm, once in his right outer arm, and twice in his right great bruit, and the only thing left intact was his left bruit. In addition, there were numerous abrasions and countless wounds on the body. Due to his special physique, the wounds

    By the fourth shift, twenty hours later, Lucio, with his superior hearing, got the crucial news from the two guards who were whispering: the warden would be back by noon tomorrow, and should be bringing important people from the church, perhaps to do a final test on himself and determine the outcome of his treatment.This meant that the overhead monitors were no longer much of a threat to them, meaning that the leader they feared was not in the monitoring room outside right now. These wardens, all of them high ranking wardens, were bigger leaders than them, and could only be deputy wardens.Could it be, a warning to the father? They probably didn't know it was Father, but they must have guessed that Lucio had someone behind him.Whitney thought fast, but couldn't find an answer for the moment.Lucio was unconscious for more than five hours before reawakening; there was no clock in the cell, and he did not know the time of year, relying entirely on the frequency of the shift changes of

    A diary

    Several prison guards with very high ranks were escorting a prisoner towards the passage leading to the second basement level in section A. The lead prison guard, one of the guards, swiped open the electronic door to the passage and the crowd poured in. Whitney was handing out meals one by one, a long hallway with symmetrical cells to the left and right. Four people in each cell, all Class A felons, and their names were even hanging on the doors. These Class A felons were all male fears, I was told, and the two northernmost corridors were the women's section. After I agreed to work with him, he asked me a question. Then a bolt from the blue hits his head, and his father tells his that Ellie Piskor died in the City of Ice, bones and all. The town had thrown a funeral and called his back just so he could attend it. The first page says that the date was 16 years ago and Nola Franks was his age, both 25 years old. At that time, he was 9 years old. Lucio smiled, pointing to the pickup

    Lucio willow-headed and ran in the direction of Nola Franks, ordering as he did so, "Get an ambulance for help!" The Military fighters behind him immediately responded.After washing his face, he staggered back to the bed, lay down, and without saying a word, rolled up the covers and went back to sleep."One last question, give me this, for what."Mary looked at him and smiled suddenly and kindly, as if he were the same as before, as all mothers in this world do, and said in a warm voice.Westgate, Nola Franks fell at the end of the line, took it out, and threw it. At once the whole of Westgate was in chaos, and someone shouted."Father, the Lucio thing, it's still out of control."When you finally arrive at your cell and are locked behind the heavy iron door, you really realize: freedom has left you."Nope, it seems to have even hit one of its own!"The man said cautiously, "Wait until we leave the main city completely, I don't want to have an accident."Lucio put away the pendant an

Also, for the next two days, let his stay at home and don't go out." After saying that, the other end hung up the communication.[The assassin may have been the legacy of the factory trials, working for a third party and lurking within the Third Squadron all along. With the Bailey incident and the closing of the Ares gates breaking out at the same time, this person could easily be associated with who was behind it. Then this person's subsequent actions would not be difficult to predict.]"That text message, did you send that to me?" Lucio asked as he walked over to Sona, gasping softly."Captain Mak, it's been a long time since I've seen you in this outfit." Gabriela Pratt laughed.Lucio concludes that these two women are not easy to live with, I don't know what the fight is about, but in any case he'd better stay away and not get into

    "Eh? When did this happen?""There's quite a bit of work for you to do tomorrow, the hassle of running around." Whitney said."It might not have worked with anyone else, but Pierre, I'm ninety percent sure of that. Pierre would have wanted Bailey to die of natural causes, and any possible homicide would have given him suspicion. With the election coming up, there was no room for a taint. Besides, the man really loved Lamar Conway Wan, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to seek revenge on Andres, who was so much more powerful than him for so many years, and there wasn't an ounce of good that could come from going against Andres."
