Chapter 314 Hot Potato

Hearing this, the four people were silent. They understood what Yang Hui meant. Now they were good friends of Yang Hui, and the purpose of coming to Orb was to travel.

If... Aslan said words like "spy" and "prisoner", then what awaited them would be an extremely miserable end. Even if each of the four people present was the son of a member of the Supreme Council of PLANT, they would have no choice but to die if they were caught as spies.

Yang Hui was helping them hide their identities, but at the same time... he was also monitoring them to prevent them from making excessive moves.

"Why?"

Although Yang Hui and Aslan were friends, and Huang and Wang Liumei were familiar with the four people, Aslan did not think that Yang Hui would put personal feelings above the right and wrong.

"You are now a hot potato, and it would be best if we can send you away safely."

It was not Yang Hui who answered Aslan, but Wang Liumei.

"What?" The four people were stunned.

Seeing this, Wang Liumei continued to explain to the four people: "If something really happens, your parents will cause trouble for Orb."

"..."

The four people were silent. One of their parents was one of the twelve members of the PLANT Supreme Council. Aslan's father Patrick Sara and Isaac's mother Isalia Juul were radicals, Nicol's father Yuri Amalfi was moderate, and Diego's father Tad Elsman was a neutral party leaning towards the moderates.

If nothing happened to the four people, then the distinction would be clear, and PLANT would still maintain a balance between the moderates and radicals. Once something happened to the four people, the balance would be broken, and Nicol's father and Diego's father would immediately join the radicals.

At the same time, PLANT and ZAFT would also launch crazy revenge on Orb. In this way, Orb would have only two ways to go, either fight to the death or join the Earth Union.

Therefore, when Aslan and the other four sneaked into Orb, Yang Hui not only had to restrict their behavior to prevent them from finding the location of the Archangel, but also had to protect them and not let them have any accidents in Orb.

"Hmph, after saying so much, aren't you afraid?" Isaac snorted.

"So do you also think that this scene should be broken?" Yang Hui was not angry, but looked at the peaceful scene in front of him and questioned Isaac calmly.

"... Tsk!"

Isaac was arrogant and very unhappy with Orb's cunning practice of playing both sides and building a memorial archway, but there was one thing he had to admit, that is, Orb's peaceful atmosphere did make Isaac feel comfortable, and he didn't want to break this tranquility.

"But can Orb really be independent? War... will spread here one day." Aslan asked.

"Of course not."

"Haha, have you given up on yourself? Just make do with it one day at a time?" Diego laughed.

"You want to trick me with such a simple trick? You look down on me, don't you?" Yang Hui mocked back.

"Tsk."

Diego was not only mocking Yang Hui, but also provoking him to get more information out of him. The Archangel was one thing, but Orb itself was another. After all, Orb was a neutral country that both major forces feared.

"But it is a fact that you are close to the Earth Army. Duel, Storm, Thunder, Shield and Assault are the best proof, right? And Long Legs, if it weren't for your help..."

"It's just a transaction between countries, where is the closeness?" Yang Hui interrupted Nicol's questioning directly.

"Haha, do you think we will believe it?" Izak sneered.

"Go back and ask your parents and you will know." Wang Liumei chuckled without too much explanation. Although they are all sons of one of the members of the Supreme Council, they are not the core of PLANT and don't know many things. Among the four, only Aslan knows more. This is also what Wang Liumei heard at the hearing of the Supreme Council last time.

"When are you going to let us go?" Aslan asked.

"You can leave anytime you want."

"..." The four of them stared at Yang Hui, obviously not believing him.

You have to know that the value of the four of them is not just as simple as spies. If Yang Hui arrested the four of them and secretly contacted the Supreme Council of PLANT, he would definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits by using the four of them as bargaining chips.

To be honest, Yang Hui had thought about this, but he just gave up the idea after a little thought.

Using the four of them as bargaining chips to trade with PLANT would certainly bring benefits, but the benefits would definitely not be much, because ZAFT is about to have a big action, and there will be constant wars afterwards. The Alaska offensive and the Panama base offensive, these two large-scale battles almost mobilized most of ZAFT's military forces, and also caused ZAFT to suffer heavy losses.

So far, although the mass accelerator of the Panama base was successfully destroyed, coupled with the Alaska base offensive being calculated by Cruze and the Atlantic Federation, the military forces on Earth suffered heavy losses, and had to shrink their forces, abandon a large number of occupied areas, and retreat to several important bases.

Although the Atlantic Federation turned its attention to Orb after the Battle of Panama, giving the ZAFT army a chance to catch its breath, the Orb offensive and defensive battle did not last long. At the same time, other forces of the Earth Army launched a large-scale recapture operation against Victoria Harbor, which once again caused ZAFT to suffer serious damage.

Immediately afterwards, the Gibraltar Base and Carpentaria Base were also attacked on a large scale.

Look at it this way, ZAFT has been hit one after another, how much benefit can it give to Orb? Or... how much of the exaggeration it says now can be achieved by then?

If it can't get enough benefits, it will also be hostile to PLANT. This is a deal that is not worth the loss. In this case, it is better to sell it well and let Aslan and the other four leave Orb directly. After all, there is still the possibility of fighting side by side in the future.

In the end, Isaac, Diego, Nicol and Aslan still left Orb. After all, they have been exposed and their original purpose cannot be achieved. Is it really like Yang Hui said that they will take a few days off in Orb?

However, it is not completely without gain. At least everyone has visited Orb for free, and earned a set of expensive clothes for free. And Isaac finally found the person he wanted to kill most in his life.

"Damn! That bastard!" Isaac punched the locker to vent his anger after returning to the mothership. Looking at the clothes in front of him, it became more and more dazzling.

"I really made a profit this time. I got a set of clothes for free. I also secretly glanced at the label. The price of this set of clothes is equal to my annual salary." Diego joked. He didn't need this little money. He was just joking to ease the atmosphere and tease his friend at the same time, "And Izak, you finally found your destined enemy."

"What did you say!?"

"Ahaha, don't be angry, don't be angry." Diego looked at Izak's expression as if he wanted to eat someone, and was frightened and stepped back repeatedly.

"That guy... Only that guy... I will never agree with it!"

"Forget it, Izak, you can't compare." Nicol persuaded. He was not mocking Izak, but was really worried that Izak would be crazy because of this. So far, what Yang Hui showed was indeed not comparable to Izak.

And Huang and Yang Hui were originally an engaged couple. Judging from their relationship, the two parties were not forced together by political marriage. The way they looked at each other could be drawn, which showed that their relationship was very good and stable. Izak's behavior was not very authentic.

"What did you say!?"

"Isaac, you are indeed not as good as Yang Hui." Aslan did not comfort or ridicule, but calmly narrated the objective facts.

"Shut up! Aslan! It's all your fault! If you hadn't proposed to sneak into Orb, how could we have suffered such humiliation!?"

"That's right, Aslan, you are fully responsible for this matter." Although Diego showed an attitude of making a profit, he felt a huge shame like Isaac.

Nigel did not speak either, because he had the same feeling. Although his self-esteem was not as strong as Isaac and Diego, he also felt that this infiltration mission was too aggrieved. He was caught by the other party just after entering Orb, and he let them go as if he sympathized with them.

Get relaxation and expensive clothes, but leave dignity as the price.

"Yang Hui saved my mother in [Julius 7]."

"What?" The three were stunned for a moment and remained silent. The tragedy of [Julius 7] is a scar in the hearts of all PLANT citizens. No matter how angry they are, they will hold back when they encounter this incident.

However, another doubt arose in the hearts of the three people. Why did Yang Hui save Aslan's mother? And he only saved Aslan's mother?

"In fact, before the tragedy happened, Yang Hui warned the Supreme Council through secret channels, but no one believed it at the time, so..."

"What did you say!?" The three were stunned when they heard this secret.

"Yes, I only knew about this at the last hearing. Not only did we warn the Earth Army of the attack, but Orb actually had various cooperations with us in secret, including many aspects. Of course, the same is true for the Earth Union. It is precisely because of such frequent exchanges that Huang and Wang Liumei frequently went to PLANT. It is also because of the tragedy that the Supreme Council has always turned a blind eye to Orb and has not overly oppressed it. Behind all these transactions... I guess, Yang Hui is the matchmaker."

"This is impossible!" As soon as the voice fell, Isaac objected excitedly, "How old is he? How could he do so many things?"

If Yang Hui can do all this, then... then what is he? What qualifications does he have to compete with Yang Hui for the emperor?

"He is the same age as me, but he did it, and he has a very high position in Orb. There is intelligence speculation that all of Orb's development strategies in recent years have his shadow, and..."

There is another speculation that Aslan has been hesitant to say, but after this incident, some things can no longer be concealed, otherwise the four-member team is likely to fall apart.

"And what?"

"... He is likely the pilot of the unknown machine that severely damaged Captain Cruze and me."

"What!?"
