From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 575 Irony
Gilan noticed the leader's kind look and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The look in Caesar's eyes when he looked at him was also filled with deep satisfaction, but it was different from the way he treated his subordinates in the past...

It's more like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law!

Fortunately, the leader only glanced at me, then looked away and got back to business:
"Although Owena's army has lost its immortality, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. They have almost put all their forces on this last move. It is impossible for them to retreat now."

"In the next period of time, a large-scale war will break out. The Federation will fight to the death under our massive counterattack."

As he spoke, Caesar looked deep in the eyes and sighed.

"It's just that the battlefield has been forced to move from the northern and eastern borders to the empire. Several states and dozens of districts will be affected by the war... All we can do is to urgently transfer the people and property in this area as much as possible."

"Jilan." The young man with red curly hair suddenly called out with his hands behind his back.

Jilan lowered his eyes and bowed slightly.

"Lord Caesar, please speak."

"There is one more thing that you need to solve."

The leader said softly.

"Before that, after you took office as the chairman, the three old secret cults, the 'Tian Nie Cult', the 'Golden Branch of Dawn' and the 'Crescent Moon Society', were driven out of the country and have been wreaking havoc in foreign countries. Seeing that the Owena army had broken through our defense line, they took the opportunity to reach out again. Their traces were found again in the districts of Kawo State, Seden State and Luoye State..."

"These fanatical followers of the old gods never stop, and they are like maggots on the tarsal bones, especially in times of war."

"I need you to wipe them out from the imperial land, so as not to affect Bu'ao's final decisive battle."

Jilan nodded and agreed:
"Yes, Lord Caesar."

"This period of time is very critical, and you will need to put in more effort."

Caesar laughed.

"It's my duty." Jilan touched his chest and bowed.

...

...

After bidding farewell to the Führer, Gilan took Torina out of the Sifang Palace, got into the silver car, and drove directly to the Triumph Building.

Originally, Gillan was worried that the process of handling these official duties would make Torina bored, but unexpectedly, the girl was in high spirits along the way, and even quietly asked him in the car what official duties he usually handled and how he handled them.

There was nothing to hide, so Jilan simply answered the question while driving.

"…It doesn't sound that simple."

Torina sat in the passenger seat, tilted her head and said with a smile.

There was admiration in her eyes.

"Compared to you, I, Si Chen, don't seem to be very competent. I have only lived in seclusion in the Black Castle in the past and don't know anything about the world."

"This is different, Torina."

Jilan shook his head and comforted him:
"You are a symbol of law and part of the operation of this world. Although you don't intervene in or interfere with the world too much, every ordinary person should be grateful for your efforts... If you hadn't been silently absorbing and purifying the miasma of the world, people would get sick, go crazy, and die."

“The suffering has not decreased or disappeared, it’s just that you are bearing it for them out of sight.”

"So, compared to me, the Chairman of the Empire, you are greater and more competent, and you deserve to be the 'Saint Mother' of this world."

Hearing this, Tolina was slightly surprised.

She smiled and looked gently at the young man who was driving the car, and whispered:
"Am I really that great?"

"of course."

Gillan was smiling, but his expression was serious.

The girl lowered her head slightly.

"I'm really happy when you say that."

Torina muttered in a daze.

"Before, no matter how well I did, no one ever praised me... Perhaps in the eyes of other superiors in the divine land, or even mortals in the mortal world, the 'Virgin Mary' should be like this."

“But no one has ever thought that you were once a human being, and that you were born with a mission.”

Jilan stopped the car, turned to look at the girl, and said softly.

"This mission is too heavy, and it was forced upon you without your permission... Thank you for your hard work, Tolina."

"..."

The girl stared at him in a daze, then silently moved over, hugged Jilan's arm tightly, and leaned her little head on his shoulder.

Torina closed her eyes and let out a long breath.

"So warm." She whispered. "Let me stay with you for a while, okay?"

Jilan hummed and said nothing more.

There was only silence in the car and the heartbeats of the two people.

After a while.

"Are we here yet?"

Torina slowly opened her eyes and asked quietly.

Outside the car window was a spacious concrete yard with a tall building standing in front. People were coming and going all around, all dressed formally, many of them men and women in uniform.

Further away are high walls and sentry posts in the shape of a U.S. character.

"We've arrived a long time ago." Jilan nodded.

"Then let's go down."

Torina sat up straight and smiled.

Jilan agreed and took her out of the car.

The two men walked through the first floor lobby of the Triumph Building, took the elevator up, and went straight to the Investigation Committee Hall on the 70th floor.

After entering the chairman's office, Gillan called Maiev and asked her to notify Alevia, Aurora, Werner and Franco to come for a meeting.

Soon.

A lot of people gathered in the office.

When the three ladies, Alevia, Aurora and even Maiev, saw the black-haired girl in a white dress standing next to Gillan, they were all stunned.

Soon, Alevia narrowed her eyes.

She first signaled to Aurora beside her with her eyes, and then stared at Torina with a scrutinizing look.

The girl standing next to Jilan gave her a great sense of threat. This threat was not only in terms of strength, but also in another aspect...

In terms of appearance alone, Tolina is not stunning, but her temperament is extremely outstanding, very quiet, dignified, and has an indescribable holiness.

Her black hair was braided and tied up, with two strands of hair falling in front of her forehead, which was quite retro and elegant. The white skirt she wore, matched with the white stockings on her legs, added a touch of playfulness that only girls can have.

More importantly, the girl stuck close to Gilan, and the latter did not refuse... This detail clearly shows that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

Alevia took a deep breath and felt very uncomfortable. But for some reason, she couldn't feel disgusted when she saw the pure smile and kind eyes from the other party.

This frustrates her.

Aurora on the side looked downcast, feeling very lost.

As a woman, her intuition told her that the girl in front of her might have a close relationship with Mr. Gillan. Her heart seemed to be missing a piece, empty, and she couldn't help but be distracted.

Gillan noticed the expressions of Alevia and Aurora. He just sighed and said calmly:
"I just went to the Sifang Palace, and the head of state personally issued an order, stating that the three old secret cults have revived in the empire and need to be urgently eliminated to avoid affecting the situation of the Bu'ao War."

"Mr. Franco, the four of you will convene a meeting for me and mobilize the leaders of each group. Based on the latest intelligence about the three old god cults, formulate a detailed elimination plan and implement it... If you encounter any thorny difficulties, please tell me in time and I will personally solve them."

"Okay, Chairman."

Franco was as calm as ever and nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, Gillan chatted with everyone for a while before announcing the disbandment.

However, Alevia and Aurora did not leave and remained in the office. Seeing this, the others did not say anything and hurried away.

Before leaving, Weiner, who had grown short hair, looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and was dragged out by Franco.

Click.

The door is closed.

The office was quiet.

"Mr. Gillan, who is this?"

Aurora forced a smile but still asked politely.

Before Jilan could start introducing himself, the girl next to him smiled and said:

"I am his wife, Torina Gerard."

"Wife..." Aurora was stunned on the spot.

Even Alevia next to her had a slightly changed expression, her eyes full of disbelief.

"When did Mr. Gillan get married..."

Aurora asked hesitantly.

Torina still smiled and shook her head.

“We didn’t have a wedding.”

"I see……"

Aurora lowered her head and her voice became quieter.

At this time, Alevia clenched her fists, took a deep breath, stared at Jilan and said:

"You have a wife, why didn't you tell us!"

It seemed like a question, but her tone was quite aggrieved.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I thought..."

Gillan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain for a moment. Tolina seemed to see his embarrassment and smiled at Alevia:
"Sir brought me here to see you this time with this intention. Miss Alevia, Miss Aurora, if you are angry about this, please vent it to me. After all, it was me who took away your beloved."

Upon hearing this, Alevia and Aurora were both startled.

But soon, Aurora blushed, and Alevia felt powerless... Looking at Torina's eyes without any malice and the holy temperament emanating from her, for some reason, she sighed dejectedly.

"Feel sorry."

At this time, Jilan said softly.

Aurora shook her head. She looked at Gillan, then looked at Tolina beside her, and said with a smile:

"Why should Mr. Gillan apologize? You and Ms. Tolina are a perfect match. Congratulations..."

"The blessing is so hypocritical that I can't say it."

Alevia turned her head and said calmly.

After a few seconds, she lowered her voice again and muttered:
"Since we haven't officially gotten married yet, I still have a chance..."

"Ah?" Aurora, who was standing by, heard it clearly and immediately turned her head to look with a look of surprise.

Aurora was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Alevia blink at her.

She is still the unyielding Miss Seagull...

Aurora thought.

However, at this moment, Aurora, for some reason, was also ignited with some emotions in her heart by Alevia.

In the past, Aurora was always so kind and gentle, and even when faced with her own feelings, she didn't dare to express them boldly.

Now that Mr. Gillan already has a wife, she wanted to withdraw sadly, but Miss Alevia's unwillingness to give up made her want to muster up the courage once more.

"I...I won't give up either."

Aurora raised her head and said seriously.

Seeing this, Gillan and Tolina looked at each other.

...

...

"It can be seen that those two girls like you very much."

Gillan was lying on the lawn of an island, letting the lush greenery overwhelm him, while Tolina lay lazily on his chest and whispered.

Gillan sighed:
"only friends."

"Don't lovers all start out as friends?"

Torina tilted her head and smiled.

“We were friends at first.”

"..."

Gilan wasn't sure if Torina was jealous, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, the girl said to herself:

"Actually, you can accept them."

"Um?!"

"I don't have any extravagant hopes, I just hope that you can always keep a place for me in your heart."

Torina narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Jilan was stunned for a while, and said with a smile:
"But why did you take off my clothes?"

Tolina didn't answer, but smiled and stretched out her index finger, pointing at Gilan's left chest.

A deep, dark, incomplete cross mark appeared, and deepened as her index finger slid across it.

"Of course, it deepens the mark..."

Torina whispered.

Jilan was speechless for a moment.

Torina said nice things, but her actions always showed her attitude.

"Don't think too much, Torina... My heart is small, only big enough for one person."

Gilan closed his eyes, allowing Torina to continue branding him, and spoke lazily.

Hearing this, Torina suddenly stopped moving.

When Jilan opened his eyes again, he saw the girl sitting up and staring at him with red eyes.

Then, he pursed his lips and smiled.

"Well, then I will live in your heart forever."

Torina fell into his arms.

Soon, the two of them were rolling on the lawn.

Using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed, isn’t it wonderful?

...

...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The sky was already dark.

Gilan and Tolina stood on the edge of the island, overlooking the scarlet ocean and waves below.

"Is this the place where the remains of the 'Goddess of Love' Alice manifested in the material world after her death?"

The girl asked curiously.

"Yes." Jilan nodded. "This island is just a small part of it. You can't see the whole picture even if you dive into the seabed."

He turned his head to look at the girl, his tone gentle:

"For the next period of time, I will need to stay here and go to the 'Nightmare Monument' on the corrupted remains at the bottom of the sea every day."

"It's okay, I'll be here with you."

Torina shook her head.

She spread out her hands, and an unknown petal flew into her palm and was gently caught.

"The scenery here is very good and unique. I have never seen it before and I never get tired of it."

"That's good."

Gillan laughed.

He took a deep breath, jumped from the edge of the island, and with a splash, dived straight into the seabed.

One of the key conditions of the "intercalary ceremony" mentioned by the "Master of Sleep" is to expel the "dream of worms" of the "god of love", which is the miasma that is prevalent in the world.

Gillan had guessed this a long time ago.

That is to clear out all the "nightmare monuments" in the sea of ​​blood!
This would also allow him to accumulate a large amount of mysterious points to improve his strength.

"Soon I will be able to achieve another qualitative change in my strength, and by then, I will reach an unprecedented new height..."

In the dark seabed, Gilan's eyes were shining.
