Chapter 28 Help
Leeds has no complete memory ability. He could not remember a military officer with a passerby face who had said a few words. He could not remember it either... However, half of it was not a smiley person, and half was a little curious. Leeds still followed Hughes to find a restaurant nearby to sit down and listen to what this guy was looking for.
But before that, Leeds looked at the girl who was talking to Long Kui not far away in her mother's arms, and took the lead in sarcasm: "You are too much to use your wife and daughter as a guise."
"I will apologize for my whole life," Hughes, the perfect husband + perfect dad, said this answer sincerely, "But, I have to do this."
"Even if you say it so severely? I, a tourist, have nothing to do with you, right?" Leeds tried to recall that although he had killed many country alchemists with problems in this country, those people were absolutely not as important as to alarm the central government... and it sounded like he was in a position of [being asked for help]?
Hughes did not answer positively, but stared at Leeds with an extremely serious expression: "...we have been paying attention to your movements."
"Hmph~~" Leeds did not comment. Anyway, he had not been monitored for more than a year, and he didn't know what form Hughes "attention" him.
"I don't say what your subordinates do in the train hijacking case," that only showed human skills, "but the changes in the Ellik brothers are enough to show that you have the power that is 'unknown' to us." The more intuitive evidence is that Sakiya threw a flying knife in the restaurant that day, but some things do not need to be said.
"And..." Leeds also heard that the other party was making the matter clear from beginning to end.
"Of course, this is just a testament to your value, in our eyes," Hughes used a rude word here, and he also saw that Leeds is not a brainless and irritable type. "What really goes wrong is the inside of our country, forcing me to take risks in contact with you, trying to get an 'unexpected surprise'."
"Problem? When reading the newspaper, it seems that only 'Scar' has not been caught. Could it be that I wanted to ask me to come out to capture him?" Leeds was also a little surprised when he was a little surprised. There was a man staring at the country's alchemist representing the world's top military force. More than a year has passed, but he is still at large.
A little handsome, right?
If this is the request, Leeds might agree halfway. First find Scar to confirm the reason for hunting the national alchemist. If the reason is unreasonable, kill him, forgive him, and if the reason is super high, then jump back.
"Scar is just a small problem," Hughes would be very grateful if Leeds was willing to take action. His close friend was a member of the National Alchemist. "The real problem lies in the top government... We found too many strange facilities and records in the investigation. That is no longer a scandal like corruption, assassination, power struggle-"
"Well, you mean the fact that the president and his son are both non-human?" Leeds asked.
"What did you say?!" Hughes's face changed drastically.
"Ah, so don't you know?" Leeds' spoilers are not a matter of one or two days, and everyone is used to it. "As aside, the non-human component of the President is much higher than that of the President. Remember not to be deceived by his appearance."
"…!" He glanced left and right, confirming that no one was paying attention to this place, Hughes deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "How did you know about this? Is there any evidence?"
"That was seen by another teammate of mine. With the naked eye~" Leeds himself had never seen the president and his son with his own eyes. This information came from Zhao Yun. "Of course, if you don't admit that this is evidence, I can't do anything."
"Is it possible that non-human... can it be possible?" Obviously, Hughes did not doubt what a man who had no motive to lie at all. Moreover, Leeds's words instantly penetrated the haze that had been shrouded in his heart for a long time because of a ray of sunshine in the sky. It would be impossible not to believe it.
"Please, don't be there by yourself, okay? I haven't finished listening to the story yet~" Leeds held his head and rolled his eyes.
"...Ahem, it's rude," Hughes took a breath, letting himself spread his feet and contact Roy's idea of finding a phone call to settle down. "In fact, we only know where there is an ulterior motive experiment, but we have always lacked the key key and have not been able to uncover the fog yet... The answer of the Excellency Leeds is very helpful."
If a Douding national alchemist had charged forward, first found the information of the "Sage Stone" and then found the location of the "Secret Experimental Facility of the Military", perhaps Hughes would have found the answer long ago.
"But even so, just recently, I don't know whether it's the psychological effect or the instinct of intelligence personnel," Hughes's face turned gloomy. "I think someone has noticed my investigation. If I continue to investigate, I'm likely to lose my life..."
"So come to me?"
"Ah... I will not deny that I am timid and cherish my life." Hughes still commented on himself as such, "but because of your existence, between 'taking risks and continuing investigation' and 'taking risks and asking for help from you', I chose the latter. I deliberately took leave to travel with my wife and children, and for a long time, I pretended to have completely forgotten my work, paralyzed my guard against me, and finally successfully contacted you."
Now it seems that this move is right, even if Leeds refuses to help.
"…………"silence.
"Yes, I'm here this time to ask you for help." Even though I didn't have much confidence.
"To be honest, there are so many questions... But forget it, because you took the initiative to ask me for help, and because your daughter is playing with Xiaokui, I will only ask one question," Leeds turned his head and looked at the sword spirit girl who was already amused by the little girl, "Why should I help you?"
"Because we are [just]." Hughes threw out a line that was very serious.
"……justice?"
"Roy's goal is to climb to the highest position, change the country at the top of state power, and protect the people under his jurisdiction, and I believe it is just." Hughes followed Roy for this reason, "and then, I think that you are just as just, based on what you have done around the world over the past year."
"……Oh."
