“Lower South District, Nightingale Headquarters.
The news officer on the projection screen held the prepared speech in his hands, sitting behind a long table, responding to the matter of the agreement.
“As expected, he tries to deceive us with his ignorance.” Leizhe sat in a swivel chair, casually placing his long legs on the edge of the table.
“Photos cannot be fabricated, so he can only respond this way.” Malken, also in a relaxed posture, sat in his chair and looked at Klet, asking, “Boss, should we make the deep-sea energy station public next?”
“We can.” Klet replied.
“Things are going more smoothly than expected.” Leizhe stretched lazily, his face expressing the words “victory is within reach.”
However, at that moment, the news officer on the screen suddenly changed the topic.
“For over a hundred years, the Margans have always considered the Lifetree and the well-being of the general population. While ensuring the stability of the Life tree, they have also provided a comfortable and safe living environment for everyone…
“What happened today is something that no one wants to see, but the current social structure is indeed prone to conflicts. Therefore, the government has decided to encourage the marriage between Margans and civilians, allowing the Life tree to become a better family for all…
“General Miller’s eldest son, Adolf, will marry a civilian on a chosen day. The identity of the groom is…”
Leizhe abruptly retracted his legs and stared at the photo that appeared on the screen. “Wasn’t the captain supposed to be discussing the agreement on the top floor? Why is he suddenly getting married?”
About half an hour ago, Avis, who had been missing for a long time, sent a message to Leizhe, saying he was on his way back and mentioned being taken to the top floor by Miller after Sergeant Shen Siwei rescued him.
He said Miller’s attitude was better, and there might be some agreements being made. The group patiently waited, but instead of that, they received news that Shen Siwei was about to marry Adolf.
“Oh no, could the negotiator have been detained?” Malken speculated, somewhat confused. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of table legs scratching the floor came from beside him.
Klet, with a dark expression, stood up, and due to his force in standing up, the chair was pushed several meters away.
“Boss!” Malken realized the situation was not good and quickly grabbed Klet’s arm. “Stay calm for now; let’s consider our options.”
Leizhe also hurriedly intervened, saying, “Klet, don’t act impulsively. Let’s think of a solution first.”
“Let go.” Klet ignored their words, lowered his gaze, and looked at Malken’s hand. His deep eyes were filled with the calm before the storm.
He believed that Shen Siwei would come back, which is why he agreed to let him leave. And what did he get after waiting for a day or two?
Marriage?
“Boss, please don’t act rashly. What if we solve it through public opinion?” Malken suggested with concern. But as soon as he finished speaking, Klet made a move as if he was going to leave, and Leizhe quickly blocked his path.
“Are you going to rush to the top floor?” Leizhe used his hands to support Klet’s chest, preventing him from moving forward. “I know your fighting abilities are great, but even if you can reach the second or third floor, are you sure you can break into the top floor?”
“Boss, please don’t act impulsively. The defense system on the top floor is not a joke.”
The defense system on the second and third floors was only for identity verification, and skilled hackers could forge identities to freely access them, like Avis. However, the defense system on the top floor was highly intelligent and required both biological and identity verification. Even if Klet were to forge his identity as a staff member on the top floor, the defense system would recognize that he was an intruder and turn him into dust.
“Let me say this one last time,” Klet said, “Step aside.”
If they didn’t move, he would really take action. Malken obviously realized this and immediately pulled Leizhe back to his side.
Watching Klet’s departing figure, Leizhe worriedly said, “Is he going to throw his whole life away?”
“Maybe not,” Malken shook his head with a serious expression, “Do you remember when I told you that my boss is not like an ordinary person?”
“But he’s not invincible either,” Leizhe said, “If he gets hit by a bullet, he will get injured too, right?”
“That’s not the point,” Malken said, “I suspect that he–“
Back at Miller’s villa,..
“Do you have any objection to this arranged marriage?” After initially feeling uneasy, Shen Siwei quickly calmed down.
“I told you, when it comes to political matters, I will follow my father’s orders,” Adolf took a sip of red wine, “Don’t you want to drink?”
“You’re a Mag,” Shen Siwei was indifferent to Adolf’s invitation, “Are you really willing to marry a civilian?”
“If it were someone else, I might hesitate,” Adolf leisurely put down his wine glass, “But Captain Shen you are an outstanding person, and our marriage holds significant meaning for the Tree of Life. Why would I refuse?”
Shen Siwei could sense that Adolf found their marriage amusing. Adolf didn’t have any romantic feelings towards him, he simply found it interesting, and since it didn’t harm him, he obliged.
“But I don’t want to marry you,” Shen Siwei bluntly stated, “If you’re willing to be a political tool, that’s your business, but please don’t involve me.”
“What should we do then?” Adolf raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned, “The news has already been announced. If it weren’t for Mars colliding with Earth, you would probably have no choice but to marry me.”
How can Mars collide with Earth? Shen Siwei began to think seriously.
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from outside the quiet window, shaking the floor. Shen Siwei’s thoughts were interrupted as he and Adolf turned their gaze towards the window. They saw flames blazing at the end of the lawn, and several military aircraft were heading towards the site of the explosion.
That seemed to be the entrance and exit to the lower levels. Shen Siwei immediately realized.
The guard standing outside the bedroom urgently knocked on the door, “Young Master Adolf, someone has intruded into the top floor!”
Adolf furrowed his brow and stood up from the sofa,
He walked towards the door, but Shen Siwei quickly stopped him, “Take me there with you to have a look.”
Among the entire Tree of Life, who would dare to intrude on the top floor?
Shen Siwei could only think of Klet.
He had already anticipated that Klet would go crazy upon hearing the news of his marriage to Adolf, but he never expected Klet to go to such extremes.
Unlike Shen Siwei, Klet’s body was not entirely invincible. Even if he had great combat abilities, he couldn’t dodge bullets from all directions.
Shen Siwei’s heart almost stopped beating, but Adolf only raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, “I didn’t realize you enjoy watching the chaos.”
“Take me there,” Shen Siwei was no longer able to remain calm, “Take me there, and I’ll marry you.”
Adolf’s expression became even more astonished, “Oh?”
He seemed indifferent to Shen Siwei’s proposed condition, but he was very curious about Shen Siwei’s reaction.
At that moment, the flames outside the window became increasingly strong, accompanied by the shouts of the guards. Adolf seemed unwilling to delay any longer and ordered the guard to take Shen Siwei. They arrived at the garage on the ground floor.
The three of them got into a garden vehicle and headed straight to the scene of the incident. The oxygen concentration in the vehicle remained at a normal level, allowing Shen Siwei and the guard to breathe normally. However, the guard still carried an oxygen cylinder because after they arrived near the incident site, he would be exposed to low-oxygen surroundings.
Shen Siwei had considered taking the oxygen cylinder by force, but guards were different from servants. They received military training, and given Shen Siwei’s physical condition, it would be extremely difficult to snatch the oxygen cylinder from them.
He could only lean on the car window and focus his attention on the situation outside.
As expected, the person who intruded was indeed Klet.
He was standing near the entrance and exit passage, with a burning fighter aircraft beside him.
If Shen Siwei’s guess was correct, Klet must have first broken through the defense system on the second floor by using the aircraft, then seized a fighter aircraft in the military center, and finally flew to the top floor.
The loud noise just now was probably the sound of missiles bombing the gate of the passage.
But Shen Siwei couldn’t help but wonder, why was the defense system on the top floor so quiet just then?
The defense system covered the entire top floor, and even the main gate of Miller’s residence was equipped with defensive weapons. Klet was within range at the moment, so why hadn’t the weapons been activated?
Regardless, Klet only suffered minor injuries, which temporarily relieved Shen Siwei.
He saw Adolf walking to the front, and the muffled conversation came through the car window.
“Who are you?”
“Where is Captain Shen Siwei?”
Klet took a step forward, and all the guards and the gun barrels of the military aircraft instantly aimed at him.
Shen Siwei immediately clenched his heart, fearing that Klet might make a rash move. Fortunately, Klet stopped in his tracks and patiently said to Adolf, “I’m here to pick someone up.”
“Oh? Interesting.” Adolf was still wearing his pajamas, looking quite calm. “What’s your relationship with Captain Shen?”
“None of your business.”
“Tsk tsk, such a bad temper.” Adolf said this, exchanged a few words in a low voice with the guard beside him, and then said to Klet, “I heard you’re a wanted criminal.”
Klet didn’t respond, his gaze fixed straight ahead at the villa behind the lawn, presumably trying to spot Shen Siwei’s figure.
Shen Siwei tapped on the window, trying to get Klet’s attention, but Adolf’s voice drowned out his movements.
“The system shows,” Adolf looked at the handheld computer in his hand, with an unmistakable surprise in his tone, “you’re a Mag person.”
“Otherwise, why do you think these defense weapons didn’t attack me?”
Hearing this conversation, Shen Siwei was shocked.
The top floor’s defense system has a biological authentication layer that analyzes the biological characteristics of a person to determine their identity, even age, and other information.
If Klet was a Marg person, then it made sense why the defense weapons were so quiet because all defense systems in the Tree of Life wouldn’t attack Marg people.
However, the lower-level defense systems only had identity authentication, and Klet’s identity was not registered as a Marg person, so the second and third-floor defense systems would still attack him.
The burning fighter jet nearby must have been damaged by the third-floor defense system. It was only after Klet piloted it through the top floor that it was completely destroyed.
Shen Siwei looked at Klet not far away and suddenly remembered what happened five years ago.
No wonder Klet always mocked him, calling him a shorty and making fun of his size, saying there’s no one like him among the Marg people.
So, it turns out Klet himself is a Marg person?!
“Since you’re a Marg person,” Adolf put away the handheld computer and asked curiously, “why did you run to the lower level as a wanted criminal?”
“You should ask your dad,” Klet said impatiently, “why he hooked up with my mom.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Siwei was so surprised that he momentarily stopped breathing.
Klet… is Miller’s son?
The development of the situation was beyond expectations. However, before Shen Siwei could recover from the shock, a scream came from the villa, followed by Miller’s personal assistant rushing out of the villa, pale-faced, shouting to Adolf, “Something’s wrong! General Miller has committed suicide!”
Miller is dead?
Shen Siwei was already too shocked to think.
It seems like Mars had really collided with the Earth.
