Chapter 144 "Amyrius"'s Decision
Looking at the villa glowing with lights in the darkness, Klein took a few seconds of mental preparation before he got out of the carriage and walked up the three steps to the gate. Surrounded by the general guards and servants on both sides, Klein entered house.
Seeing Cynthia's conservative clothes at home due to the presence of others, Klein breathed a sigh of relief, kept his serious expression unchanged, and approached slowly.
Cynthia's smile became more and more obvious, and she pushed a few strands of hair behind her ears, revealing a slender and fair neck with no trace of a necklace on it.
Seeing Secretary Lu Er'an and the members of the general's guard either going to his room or dispersing outside the security room, Klein said in a deep voice before Cynthia gave him a hug:
"Don't prepare hot water, give me a quiet room, I need to stay alone for one night."
"..." Cynthia expressed her bewilderment and doubts with her eyes.
Klein looked around and said in a low voice:
"Something went wrong and I had to get into a very calm state to recover."
While speaking, he raised his right hand and pulled the cuff slightly, revealing distinct light-colored granulation buds.
Poor physical condition and certain abnormal reactions are excuses prepared by Admiral Amyrius for the previous tramp substitute to help him evade Cynthia's request for closeness without exposing the problem. In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Klein deliberately used " Faceless Man's technique gives "evidence".
Cynthia opened her mouth and almost screamed, but fortunately, she stretched out her palm in time to block her voice.
"No problem? Do you need to see a doctor?" Cynthia eased up a little, and immediately asked nervously, her concern was palpable.
"No, this is the necessary price for gaining great strength. I can return to normal after two or three days of calm." Klein also found out the reason for the follow-up.
"Okay, okay." Cynthia hurriedly led Klein up to the second floor, leading him into the quietest room.
As for the master bedroom, because she had lighted a few sticks of incense and sprinkled some clean dew, she never gave it up.
Watching the door close, Klein slowly exhaled, changed the general uniform he was wearing, and lay down comfortably on the bed.
In the master bedroom not far away, Cynthia, who was worried and lost, took a hot bath,
Also entered the bed.
She looked at the ceiling without focus, and couldn't help thinking of the instructions of her father and mother a few days ago.
They asked her to curry favor with Admiral Amyrius, and it would be best if she could conceive his child. In this way, the family could obtain more agency shares of the Central Sonia Navy Fleet.
There seemed to be a lot of things hidden in the general's heart, so that some abnormalities appeared in his body... Cynthia was thinking about it, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
She fell asleep unconsciously.
Vaguely, she felt a little fever in her stomach and body, and she seemed to see a dark night sky dotted with bright stars in her dream.
One of them seemed to feel her gaze, and it shone brighter.
…………
The next morning, the refreshed Klein enjoyed a hearty but unremarkable breakfast. Surrounded by the general's guards again, he came to the Olavi Naval Base and requisitioned the most luxurious and spacious office.
According to the habit of Admiral Amyrius, he will be alone for a period of time every two or three days to study and master his own extraordinary ability at a deeper level, and develop more practical skills. Therefore, Klein will spend most of the day In the uninterrupted time, the rest only needs to deal with some simple official duties.
In the quiet and spacious office, Klein paced back and forth leisurely, or picked out the books on the shelf to read, and reached into his pocket from time to time, touching the "Ninth Law" spell, making it exude an unusually deep majesty—— It was to convince the blond secretary Lu Er'an outside that there was nothing unusual about Admiral Amyrius.
After an unknown amount of time, Klein felt sleepy and planned to take a nap.
Just then, he heard a knock on the door.
There is something very important... Klein frowned.
It will definitely not be easy for Secretary Lu Er'an to interrupt Admiral Amyrius' concentration on practice!
"Come in." Klein restrained his emotions and responded in a deep voice.
The handsome young man with blond hair, Lu Er'an, twisted the handle, opened the door and came in, holding a telegram in his palm.
He lowered his voice and said:
"Your Excellency, a telegram from Backlund.
"Mr Alston has been relieved of his position as Governor and replaced by the Speaker of City Council.
"It is said that the new governor will arrive today."
Auston Leavitt was removed from the governorship? Their plot has been discovered? That's right, the "Twilight Hermit Society" all came to warn me, no, Amyrius, it means that they have already grasped the specific situation, and through the operation of some members, the matter will most likely be eliminated through a series of job changes. Yu Wuxi... They only warned the night before, and they started to act today. They must have been preparing for a long time... Well, this can be seen from the fact that the new governor will arrive today... Klein was surprised at first, and then felt that it was reasonable ,
He imitated the posture of Admiral Amyrius when facing important problems, walked back and forth a few steps, and said with a serious expression:
"I see."
Klein didn't make a statement, didn't give any orders, and seemed extremely deep.
However, in fact, he hadn't thought about what to do at all.
There is a saying in our foodie empire, "Stillness is worse than movement". I don't know if Russell has translated it... Klein was half self-deprecating and half complaining.
Lu Er'an looked up at Admiral Amyrius, and quietly left the office without saying anything.
Huh... Klein paced again, thinking about what choice the real Admiral Amyrius would make standing here.
This was an unexpected and important event, and there was no corresponding plan, so Klein could only speculate based on Amyrius' personality, experience, and certain self-statements in the information.
He is a conservative person, even in the low-middle ranks, when he is mixed in various ships, he seldom takes any risky actions... He considers himself a Loen nobleman who values family, relatives, children and emotions. A gentleman who is very elegant and pleasing to women, um, this point is debatable. With his rank and status, even a curly-haired baboon will be loved by women and men, no, even more loved, At least the curly-haired baboons won't tell old-fashioned jokes... Messages flashed through Klein's mind and intertwined into a three-dimensional image of Admiral Amyrius.
In this immersion, he heard a knock on the door again.
"Come in." Klein's spirit tensed up.
The blond secretary Lu Er'an opened the door and came in, pointed to the outside and said:
"Your Excellency, Mr. Alston would like to see you."
How did Auston come here? Did he want to see Amyrius seek protection, or was he planning to die? Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that he had to make a decision for Admiral Amyrius.
"What will he do? After receiving the warning from the 'Twilight Hermit Society', he should understand that the matter has been exposed, and the target has already been prepared. With his conservative character, the choice is conceivable...
"However, he also pays great attention to family affection, and even described some interesting stories about Auston Leavitt in detail in the information. It is not difficult to see that there is a brother's concern and love for his younger brother... He doesn't like marijuana, cigarettes , drinking is just for socializing, other than being a bit obsessed with beauty, there is no major problem...
"He attaches great importance to the family... the family..." Klein quickly recalled, allowing himself to fully integrate into the identity of Amyrius, and comprehend the hidden emotions and important things of the other party.
Family... At this moment, he seemed to be transformed into Amyrius, but he was analyzing various problems with a detached attitude.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Klein heard himself say in a somewhat strange and indifferent tone:
"Tell him I have a lot going on and I don't have time to see him.
"Also, buy him a boat ticket back to Backlund."
Lu Er'an seemed to have expected it long ago, looked away, and responded without any abnormality:
"Yes, Your Excellency the Admiral."
Watching Lu Eran leave the office and go outside to look for Auston Leavitt, Klein sighed softly just like the real Amyrius Leavitt.
He knew that if the other party came back early, he would make the same choice.
Because what he values most is the family!
With the plan exposed, Amyrius will not throw away the last bargaining chip and put the family in danger of destruction, as long as he is not involved, as long as he is still a demigod, even if he no longer serves as the Central Sonia Navy The Supreme Commander, the Leavitt family will not be too seriously damaged.
And asking the secretary to buy the ticket on his behalf shows that Amyrius still regards Oston as a brother, and warns others not to hurt each other before the problem is clarified.
After nearly a minute, the blond secretary Lu Er'an returned:
"Your Excellency, Mr. Alston has left."
Amyrius attaches great importance to family affection... Klein was silent for two seconds, turned his back to the secretary, and asked in a low voice:
"Did he say anything?"
Lu Er'an replied truthfully:
"He said that you are indeed a naturally cruel person."
After Klein listened quietly, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a non-smiling smile.
This was his instinctive reaction, but now that he had integrated into Amyrius' identity, he believed that the admiral would have the same expression.
That feeling and that emotion are the same!
In the following time, Klein sat in the office, didn't see any guests, and didn't deal with any official business. He just occasionally listened silently to Secretary Lu'an's report on the situation on Oravi Island.
Nothing happened until the new governor arrived.
In the evening, he rejected the scheduled dinner, returned to the garden villa, looked at Cynthia walking towards him, and hugged her.
Then he said calmly:
"Auston has been relieved of the governorship."
All the sighs, all the sighs, all the pain are condensed in this sentence without emotion.
"I heard that it should be fine, right?" Cynthia asked nervously.
Klein closed his eyes, didn't mention this matter again, and only gave a soft "hmm".
The words just now are the most obvious emotional expression that a serious, old-fashioned, conservative and introverted high-ranking person can make.
