Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 758 Brothers on the Surface
As if he knew that Xia Feng would not believe it, Maren Leger explained with a sigh.

"With the status of the Mullen family, it is true that they will not be threatened in Victoria, but the people who grabbed Paddy and came to my desk that day were not Victorians."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

Maren Leger sat up straight from the sofa and said seriously.

"Those people were dressed in black, and even my identity was identified through photos. In addition, their accents are also very strange. Combined with their figure, behavior, and racial characteristics, I think those people are ghosts from the Eastern Kingdom. .”

Hearing Maren Leger's words, Xia Feng didn't react on the surface, but his brain was running at high speed.

The people who kidnapped Paddy were ghosts from the Eastern Kingdom. This statement may sound like nonsense, but it was no stranger to his ears.

Because, whether it was in the military compound in Yehua City or in Longmen, he had been assassinated by Eastern Assassins. At the same time, the current evidence has basically proved that those people were ordered by Victoria Chief of Military Affairs Frey.

Except for General Gleason and his own people, almost no one knows about this matter. If Maren Leger knows that he will believe the Eastern Assassin, it proves that the Mullen family has colluded with Frey. .

However, the Mullen family and the Capet family are political enemies, and the Capet family is obviously already a supporter of Frey's faction, so this possibility is very small.

The Patriarch of the Capet Family is the Inspector General of the Empire, and the Patriarch of the Mullen Family, that is, Maren Legge's father, has a very high status in the Yuan Council.

If Frey had the support of the Capet family and the Mullen family at the same time, Chief Yarlin and General Gleason would definitely remind him, and politically, those in power would not allow such a situation of dominance by one family.

Moreover, Xia Feng could not ignore another matter.

Marlen Legg did fool him on the phone that day, but later in the court, Marlen Legg helped him prove the incident of hurting Kahn against normal logic and spoke for him.

Unless Maren Leger was on the fifth floor and gave him a super infernal way, this was enough to prove what he just said.

Marlen Leger called Paddy to lure him to the Royal Academy because Paddy was personally threatened by the Eastern Assassins.

Seeing that Xia Feng didn't speak, Maren Legg continued with a guilty expression.

"Xia Feng, I know this is unfair to you. I chose to put you to death because I was worried about my cousin's safety. It is reasonable for you to hate me."

After all, Maren Legg stood up from the sofa and stood in front of Xia Feng facing him.

"I won't ask for your forgiveness, I just want you to believe that what I said is true, please allow me to sincerely say sorry to you."

Standing in front of Xia Feng, Maren Legg bowed deeply.

"Xia Feng, it wasn't my intention to trick you into the Royal Academy, nor was it the Mullen family's intention. You have to be careful, someone in the upper echelons of the empire is targeting you."

Xia Feng said softly indifferently.

"Straighten up, I want to ask you a question."

Maren Leger stood up straight.

"Excuse me."

Staring closely at Maren Leger's eyes, Xia Feng asked aloud.

"Since you said that someone is targeting me, from your perspective, who do you think the high-level empire is targeting me?"

This question is a test for Xia Feng.

If Maren Leger replied that the person against him was Attorney General Capewami, Xia Feng would be very disappointed, because even a fool could see it.

But if the person Maren Legg answered was Chief of Military Affairs Frey, Xia Feng might believe his attitude.

Although this is still the answer that everyone knows well, it takes a certain amount of courage and a certain risk to speak out in the name of a "villain" who is under the empire alone.

Because this sentence can be disguised to show the opposition between the Mullen family and Chief Frey.

Maren Legg's answer, however, was neither Capewami nor Frey.

I saw Maren Legg with a serious face, accepting Xia Feng's stare without dodging, and replied word by word.

"Since you joined the Imperial Yuan Council as an aristocrat, whether you admit it or not, what you represent is the group of infected people, making people who are infected people become nobles. This has never happened since the establishment of the Yuan Council. I don’t know if this is a bold attempt by Princess Verin, but to other high-ranking people in the empire, this may be a dangerous signal.”

Maren Leger lowered his voice.

"Xia Feng, the person targeting you does not refer to a specific person. It can be said to be Capewami, or Chief Frey, but what really wants you to die is the opposite of the humble group of infected people. .”

The last sentence of Maren Leger undoubtedly touched Xia Feng's heart, or it can be called a word that awakened the dreamer.

He thought it was a test of Maren Legg's sincerity, but unexpectedly, he was taught a lesson instead.

Yes, whether he admits it or not, in the eyes of the high command of the empire, he represents the infected, or in other words, he is the bridge between the empire and the infected.

It's like a wild dog accidentally breaking into the African savannah. Is its enemy the cheetah with the highest predation efficiency, the most insidious crocodile at the water source, or the lion who is the ruler of the grassland?
None of these, its real enemy is the carnivorous animals in the entire grassland, because its arrival has virtually violated the original interests of this group.

Or, there is a possibility of violating interests.

Therefore, there are only two best solutions.

First, let the wild dogs go away on their own.

Second, kill it.

There is no doubt that Maren Legg's answer has won his approval, of course, it is only approval, not trust.

"Well, Mr. Legg, I believe what you said just now. If it is for Paddy, it is understandable that you betrayed me, even though it violates morality."

"Summer breeze."

Xia Feng stood up from the sofa and stretched out his hand to Maren Legg.

"I forgive you for this, because Paddy is also my friend, and I'm not a mean person, so this matter is over."

Maren Legg was very moved, he held Xia Feng's hand.

"Xia Feng, are we still friends?"

At this moment, Xia Feng saw another meaning in Maren Leger's sincere eyes.

But compared to the hypocritical temptation among politicians, this look is more frank.

If you use one sentence to describe it, Xia Feng thinks it should be called, undisguised mutual use.

Holding both hands together, Xia Feng smiled.

"Of course, we've always been friends."

Maren Legg could never be his real brother, they both knew that very well.

But hypocritical friendship does not hinder the construction of the "formation".

The Mullen family wanted to use the influence of his fresh blood from the Yuan Council, and at the same time, Xia Feng also needed "his own people".

Since Maren Leger would say something like "the opposite of the humble group of infected people", it proves that this opposition does not account for the majority of the high-level empire, otherwise, he would not be able to successfully join the Yuan Council and change Become a nobleman.

Next, if he wants to play this game seriously, he can't treat the Yuan Council like a gangster.

If one day, the decision-making of the parliament touches his bottom line, then in this strange environment, he must have his own supporters, even if they are only superficial brothers.
