Chapter 49: A Bet with Katie Manekin

It was still a bar near the Federal University. It had been bought by Wang Liumei as Yang Hui's private meeting place.

After going to the UNION and the People's Revolutionary League, and meeting with Professor Efman and Sergei respectively, Yang Hui came here to meet the last person who had invited him to meet.

"It's too late."

"Please, I just came down from the universe, I just ran to the People's Revolutionary League, and then ran to the UNION, can't you let me go?"

Looking at the beauty sitting at the bar, looking at him with dissatisfied eyes, Yang Hui smiled bitterly.

Today, Katie Manekin was not wearing a military uniform, but a purple dress, with a white ribbon hanging on the crook of her arms. Her hair, which was usually tied behind her head, was now scattered behind her shoulders, and her cold and beautiful face exuded a different kind of charm.

"You look very beautiful today." Yang Hui ordered a glass of wine and raised his glass to Katie Manekin.

Katie Manekin blushed, but still raised her glass and clinked it with Yang Hui.

"How have you been lately?" Yang Hui did not directly ask Kati Manekin what she wanted to do with him. After all, they were classmates, and she and Huang were close friends. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was only right for her to show some concern.

"It's still the same. I'm being transferred from one military region to another, and I only know some military exercises."

"Military exercises, the one in Moralia was pretty good."

"I still lost." At this point, Kati Manekin pouted her lips, and her cold appearance suddenly became like a little girl, which was very cute. This contrast stunned Yang Hui for a while.

"You... what are you looking at?" Kati Manekin felt Yang Hui's gaze, blushed, and muttered with her head down.

"No... nothing." Yang Hui quickly glanced away.

"... what about you?" Kati Manekin took a sip of wine and asked Yang Hui.

"You are destined to work hard. You know what happened before. I am just a brick now. I can be moved wherever I am needed."

"The old saying of the People's Revolutionary League: Those who are capable should work harder. You should be happy." He drank another glass of wine and asked the bartender to fill it up.

"Hey, hey, hey, Katie, I remember you can't drink much, right? Is it okay to drink so much?" Yang Hui wanted to stop him. First, you lie down before we even talk about the business. What's the point? Second... There are only three people in the whole store, including the bartender, and they are all men except you. What if you get drunk?

"Don't worry about it. I want to drink today." Katie Manekin grabbed the wine glass that Yang Hui had pulled away and said.

"Uh... you..."

"You are not my person, why do you care about me?"

"..."

Good guy, what you said is really reasonable. I am speechless!

After drinking another glass, Kati Manekin's pretty face turned red, but she still got to the point: "The emperor told you that I will be transferred again, and it is a highly confidential unit, with the rank of colonel."

"AEU's Gundam Survey Unit, right? Congratulations, you are now the fastest promoted officer in the history of AEU."

"If you need, I can also be the captain..."

"What did you say?" The whispering voice was too soft, and Yang Hui didn't hear it clearly.

"Nothing!"

"Oh... okay."

After drinking another glass of wine, Kati Manekin was a little shaky, and the whole person fell towards Yang Hui.

"Um, that... this... Kati?" Let Kati Manekin lean on his arms, but raised his hands to show his innocence.

"Are you still a man... I'm like this... burp~ you... burp~"

"Kati... that... I..."

Yang Hui is indeed slow to understand the emotions between men and women, but he is not a fool. He can't see it even at this point, which means he has no brains. No wonder his expression was so weird when the emperor told him to say hello to Katie Manekin "properly".

Yang Hui wanted to say something, but the next second, his mouth was blocked by the hot lips.

After a long time, the lips parted, Katie Manekin looked at Yang Hui with a dazed look in his eyes, and his hand touched Yang Hui's face.

"Kati..."

"Don't talk, let me take a good look at you."

Yang Hui was helpless and stood still.

A few minutes later, Katie Manekin's eyes regained clarity. Although her face was unusually ruddy, she was no longer shy. She left Yang Hui's chest, looked at him with burning eyes, and her expression returned to aloofness.

"The higher-ups sent my troops to sneak into the Kingdom of Azadistan, along with the PMC troops they had incorporated, and ordered us to stir up civil unrest in Azadistan. You should be careful."

After saying that, Kati Manekin got up and left.

But when she reached the door, Yang Hui caught up with her and grabbed her arm.

"Kati..."

"Don't be like this, Yang Hui, now... is not the time."

"You..."

"Let's make a promise."

"...What promise?"

"At the end of the first stage, if I am in charge of the command, and you win, I will go to your side. If I win, I will command the [Tianren] troops in the future."

"...Okay."

After making a bet with Yang Hui, Kati Manekin kissed Yang Hui on the face again and left the bar.

Yang Hui sat back down, drank a large glass of wine, and shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew Kati Manekin. She was proud. She liked Yang Hui, but she would not let herself fall. She had her own ideas and her own positioning. She wanted to let Yang Hui know that she was not a casual woman. Even if they were together, she would not be a vase protected by Yang Hui, so she wanted to use the bet to prove her existence value.

It seemed that the results of winning or losing the bet were the same, and Kati Manekin went to Yang Hui's side, but in fact they were different. If Yang Hui won, Kati Manekin would be dependent on Yang Hui's existence. On the other hand, if Yang Hui lost, Kati Manekin would be above Yang Hui, and Yang Hui would unconditionally execute all her orders on the battlefield.

This is the initiative.

"Really... a proud woman, Kati, I'm waiting for your challenge." Yang Hui said self-deprecatingly.

After a final drink, Yang Hui stood up and left. He had to go back quickly today. One at home, one in space, and he still needed to report to his two current wives.

Whether they knew it was their business or not, but whether to report it proactively or not... that was his own problem.

...

UNION [Beyond the Flag] Force, Professor Elfman called Graham.

"Professor, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Well, you get ready, that one will arrive tomorrow."

"Well?" Graham was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, "Is that it?"

"Yes, it is currently just a test machine assembled bit by bit according to the design drawings, and the specific data still needs to be tested."

"Please rest assured! Professor Elfman, I will definitely control it perfectly!"

"This is the best, because we have no time to waste."

"Professor, have you received any news?" Graham also suppressed his excitement.

"The first phase of the plan is about to reach a turning point, but before that, VEDA sent intelligence that AEU secretly sent troops and PMCs to Azadistan."

"In that case... hehe, that guy should be back, right?" Graham asked with a smile.

"Yeah, he just came down a few days ago."

"Then we really don't have much time, professor, I'm going to rest first, I'm really looking forward to it, my new machine, [Flag Bearer], is more noble than the Flag Fighter."
