Waji said: "It's such a luxurious car. Is it so profitable to be a mercenary?"
"Well, we are quite special. Among our customers are many bourgeois and nobles, and we can often do business worth around 1,000 milliliters."
"Yo." Vaggie said.
"That's actually true." Lloyd said.
"To win over the powerful Jaegers, a huge amount of money is required. Naturally, the latest weapons must be purchased. Maybe even airships have been purchased now." Randy said.
Shelly: "Ah haha, that's not the case. When it comes to sturdiness, Liber's airship is naturally the first choice, but it won't be circulated on the black market."
"Forget it, if you encounter any emergency, just go grab one."
The other side is in the Support Section office building.
Ellie and the others contacted Tio.
Using the image of the guidance terminal, Ellie and the others told Tio the matter.
"Really, that happened?" Tio said.
"Well, I'm sorry. It's a rare opportunity for you to contact me but it ended up like this." Ellie said.
"No way. Fortunately, I came to contact you. We'll be here today."
"Oh, I see."
Kia: "Goodbye Tio."
"Don't worry too much," El said.
"Then I'll hang up first." Tio said.
After ending the communication, Ellie sighed: "Lloyd, will they be fine? I'm really worried."
"After all, they are the people from the Red Constellation. No matter who they are, those people exude a dangerous aura. I'm really worried." El said.
"I'm back."
"Ah, section chief." Kia said.
"Section Chief, thank you for your hard work." Ellie said.
"I came back late, has anything changed?" the section chief said.
"Nothing has changed." Ellie.
"How about we go and ambush at the door of that store?" El said.
"Don't worry so much." The section chief said, "There is someone from the section nearby who is watching."
"Ah, that's right." Ellie said.
"But as long as those guys are interested, it will be easy to get rid of the surveillance personnel," the section chief said.
"Anyway, we can only wait here tonight for them to come back."
.....
Here, Lloyd and the others came to the stronghold of the Red Constellation.
"There is still a place like this." Lloyd said, looking at the splendid interior.
"Huh, in big cities, these are the most prosperous areas, right?" Randy said.
"Haha, the club I work for is also nearby," Waji said.
"Speaking of which, I heard that this store used to be a store exclusively for big shots, but recently it has been visited by many people from other places?
Shelly: "Yes, but don't worry, we have reserved the venue today, okay, come on in."
"What a free and unrestrained girl." Waji said.
"Gareth, it's really hard for you to follow her." Randy said.
"Yeah, not bad."
After several people entered, they saw Sig inside.
"There you are, Randy."
"Uncle, it's too ridiculous. We haven't heard from you for a week since we last met, and now we suddenly contact you."
"Haha, we also have a lot of things to do. Speaking of which, there are actually companions following you here. If it were you years ago, this would be unimaginable," Sig said.
"Humph, our captain is a very loyal person." Randy said.
"First time we meet, I'm Lloyd from the Crossbell Special Support Section."
"Waji, who also belongs to the support department."
"Oh, I am Sig from the Crimson Chamber of Commerce. I have caused you trouble before. You don't have to be polite this time. Just relax."
"Oh, thank you very much." Lloyd said.
Waji said: "By causing trouble, are you talking about the old mine?"
"Haha, let's not talk about this for now. You are also hungry. Let's eat first." Sig said.
"Ah, let's add another ice cream." Shelly said.
"Okay, you must have a lot to say, right?" Sig said, "These are guests from afar, so feel free to say whatever you have to say."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding. To be honest, we are very concerned about your movements and what is the purpose of your stay in Crossbell."
"Haha, that's so straightforward." Sig said, "We have several purposes for coming here. As for the biggest purpose, is it natural or because we signed the contract?"
"Is it a contract signed with the Empire?" Lloyd said.
"I'm sorry, I have no comment," Seager said. "This is about our industry's confidentiality obligations."
"That's right." Lloyd said.
Waji said: "So what is your relationship with Rector? She seemed to have helped you a lot when acquiring the old site of Lubache."
"Hmph, that brat who talks nonsense, he is indeed an iron-blooded henchman. He is a very interesting brat. Maybe he can have a good fight with Black Moon and the others this time." Sig said.
"What?"
"Uncle, do you know everything about Black Moon?"
"The current branch chief of Crossbell had a confrontation with him last year when he caused trouble on their chassis."
"It was just a simple boring job, but I didn't expect to be bitten by their men. Haha, I really didn't expect to meet him in this city."
Shelly said: "In the end, I couldn't meet the legendary Yin. I heard that he was working on other jobs, so I missed the opportunity to meet him."
"Silver seems to have been in Crossbell before."
"Yeah, but there has been no news since Lubache was destroyed." Randy said.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, we are asking about your relationship with that guy Lecter."
"Humph, if you change the subject, you have no comment." Sig said, "I hope you can understand."
"Forget it Randy, can I ask one last question? What is your signing bonus for this contract?" Lloyd said.
"Heh. Brother, you have a good idea."
Waji said: "So that's it. Judging from the reaction, it seems to be a considerable amount of money."
"About 100 million Mira?"
"No comment, but it doesn't matter that the signing bonus this time is almost that number," Seager said.
"The contract of 100 million Mira."
"Haha, that's so generous."
Randy: "It seems that the content of the commission is not simple."
"Okay, the special time is over, let's start the main topic this time. Randy, as I said before, your vacation is over, and you will inherit the position of God of War in the near future." Sig said seriously.
"What!" Lloyd said in surprise.
Vaggie: "Isn't the Fighting God the title of Randy's father?"
"Stop joking. What are you talking about? You must have drunk too much and are talking nonsense."
Randy punched the back of the sofa hard, making a thud. His expression was mixed with shock and anger, he stared at Sig and asked loudly.
"Haha, what I mean is very simple. Only the God of War can lead the red constellation. As the son of my eldest brother, it is your duty to inherit this position."
Sig had no expression on his face, looked directly at Randy without giving in, and his tone was unquestionable.
"Why, I want it." Regarding his father, Randy had very complicated feelings, but since he had already left, there was no need to inherit the mercenary, not to mention that Randy didn't want to inherit any God of War at all.
After a pause, he said loudly: "If there must be a fighting god, wouldn't it be great if you were the one to inherit it?"
"Or Shelly can do it too. There's no rule that women can't inherit, right?"
Hearing this, Sig was silent for a while, and then said with mixed feelings:
"After all, I am a war ghost. I can only dominate in battle. I cannot become a person like my elder brother, nor do I want to become such a person."
He glanced at Shelly again, and said with a proud expression: "My daughter is the same, but in a sense, maybe even more so than me."
"Hmm, I can't be a God of War at all." Shelly nodded with deep understanding.
Randy's expression became a little ugly. He was very clear about his uncle's methods. If he didn't agree, something bad would happen soon.
"Randy, you should know very well why the eldest brother decided to fight against his old enemy for many years."
"I don't know."
"My eldest brother gave you a trial back then and you successfully passed the trial, outstandingly demonstrating your qualities to inherit the position of God of War." Sig said.
"You should have noticed it a long time ago. With the blood of the God of War hidden in your body, you can no longer become anyone else."
"The trial for inheriting the title of God of War?" Lloyd looked at Randy as if he was suddenly stunned and asked in confusion.
"You don't know, Brother Randy looks stupid now, but in fact, in order to defeat Zefeng's large army, that village..."
"Shut up." Randy interrupted Shelly's words sternly. He seemed to have received a huge blow, his body was shaking constantly, and the expression on his face was dark and terrifying, with a rich blackness and depression like dark clouds covering the sky.
a feeling of.
"I'm begging you... don't continue talking."
"Randy." Lloyd looked at Randy worriedly, wondering what was wrong with him.
Vaggie remained silent.
"It's so boring, but I still admire Brother Randy from back then."
Shelly shrugged, looking bored.
"Humph, that's it. Let's go back, Shelly."
Sig stood up as he spoke. Before leaving, he looked at Randy with a pair of tiger eyes and said meaningfully: "If brother sees your current virtue, think about it. What will you think in your heart?"
.”
"Before you embarrass yourself further, make a choice as soon as possible. Should you obey? Run away? Or resist?"
Randy didn't reply, just lowered his head.
Seeing this, the corners of Sig's mouth rose, revealing a fanatical and cruel smile: "Otherwise, you will die."
"Haha, good night, Randy, and the two younger brothers." Shelly laughed and left with Sig.
After they left, the atmosphere among the remaining people was very depressing.
At this time, it was Randy who broke the silence. He raised his head and showed his usual relaxed smile: "Really, I'm really lucky that I didn't bring the eldest lady and the others with me."
"I'm so embarrassed."
"Randy, are you okay?" Lloyd said, licking his dry lips. The feeling of oppression given to him by the two people tonight, as well as some of Randy's things he came into contact with, made him feel a little helpless.
"I'm sorry to let you see me like this."
"Don't say that. No matter how you think about it, it's their fault."
Waji said: "Haha, but it can make you so depressed. Their words seem to have hit your mark."
"Vaj, why are you saying this at this time!" Lloyd accused.
"Haha, what a nasty guy." Randy's expression darkened, "Well, that's exactly what happened. It hit the nail on the head, my biggest pain point."
I have never seen the cheerful Randy look so sad and painful, but now is not the time to talk about this.
After that, Lloyd and others declined the manager's offer to prepare a car for them and walked back home.
He returned to the support section without incident, put the drowsy Kia to sleep, and reported to the section chief.
Ellie: "There is such a thing."
"What a horrible bunch of people," El said.
"Huh, let's not talk about letting you inherit the title of God of War for now." Sergey said: "There is still a lot to gain from this trip, right?"
"Hmm." Randy said: "Now they have signed a contract for 100 million Mira. Judging from their tone, it seems that the target is the empire."
"And they also said that they will be busy tomorrow, and they are expected to take action at tomorrow's meeting." Waji said.
"Well, in that case, what do you think, Lloyd, about the content of the 100 million Mira contract?" the section chief said.
"Ah, this." Lloyd said: "According to my intuition, it is said that Iron Blood has many hostile forces in the empire. The mission of Red Constellation may be to resist those forces in the Crossbell area and ensure the safety of the prime minister."
"Ah." Ellie said.
"So it does make sense." Randy said.
"Haha, I can't tell what I'm looking at."
Waji said: "But if that's the case, isn't 100 million millas a bit too much?"
"Iron Blood has many other guards, right?"
"There are many important guards on the surface." El said.
"Nature is different from that kind of superficial protection work." Lloyd said: "Through the recent movements of the Red Constellation, we can find that they are familiar with the land of Crossbell in various forms."
"I'm afraid they are just like us living guerrillas to survey the terrain so that we can quickly take countermeasures in any situation."
"Well, let's stop the speculation at this stage. The unveiling ceremony of the Orchid Tower will be held tomorrow, and there will be big names visiting."
"By the way, you also need to go to the scene." the section chief said.
‘Are you going to the scene for the unveiling ceremony?’ Ellie said.
"Yes, although you have been investigating the Red Constellation, this is not your job, so I hope you will take a look at the overall situation."
'What a sharp opinion,' said Lloyd.
El said: "Does the person who went to the unveiling ceremony want us to participate in the security work?"
"Well, that's true in name, but you just need to concentrate on observing the unveiling ceremony," the section chief said.
"This may allow you to make some new discoveries," the section chief said.
Lloyd said: "I understand."
"Haha, let's watch it from the special seats." Waji said.
...
On the other side, somewhere in the imperial capital.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"Well, I'm going to take a look at the report."
"I didn't expect you to be conscientious in fulfilling your duties," the black-haired attendant said.
"Ahaha, I'm just a nominal agent." Jin Jin asked you to say.
"Oh, that's fine. By the way, that rumor is true, and Grand Duke Kane is also preparing."
"Oh, I understand. The blond young man said; "I'll leave the rest to you." (To be continued)
