Chapter 745: Director Aquarius must be very bad to you
"I trust you……"
Faced with Lyon's "take it all" way of gaining trust, as the only two survivors of the Aquarius Branch, the middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then had to choose the only way with dejected eyes.
After all, if Leon was telling the truth, then everyone in the Aquarius Branch could still be saved, but if he was lying... then it wouldn't make any difference whether I believed him or not.
"Leon... Your Excellency."
The middle-aged man reluctantly added a honorific after Leon's name, his heart was in a mess, and he asked weakly:
"So what are you going to do? Take everyone from our Aquarius Branch and go directly to the Dihe River to find Chief Balto?"
"That's what I thought."
Leon nodded when he heard this, and then said sincerely:
“But after listening to your analysis just now, I think your analysis makes sense.
Obviously, the Earth's Core Molten Channel had been opened for more than half a month, but the King-Slaying Society chose to set out when Director Balto entered the underground river, and was caught red-handed by Director Balto.
I also think that this timing is a bit too coincidental. They may have ulterior motives. On the surface, they are preparing to lift the blockade of the Stone Marrow Realm by the Cleanup Bureau, but in fact they want to transfer Director Balto and take the opportunity to attack Rehe City.
Well...it's even possible that they might be a little greedy and prepare to do both at the same time, releasing the blocked three tribes and taking action against the Aixito royal family in Rehe City!"
"Then what should we do?"
After hearing what Leon said, the female cleaner came to her senses and said anxiously:
"If the King-Slaying Society really has this plan and is preparing to attack both sides at the same time, should we stay and guard Rehe City, or go down to find Grandpa Uncle?"
"If you think from the most rational perspective, it would be safer to pursue it."
Leon thought for a moment and then said:
"What is the ultimate goal of the King-Slaying Society? You can tell from their name that their ultimate goal is to eliminate the twelve royal families who can 'strengthen' the Watch Palace.
And you are also of royal blood, so I can take you down with me. In this way, even if something happens to the royal family on earth, as long as you are still safe, the purpose of the King-Slaying Society will be meaningless.
In addition, considering the worst outcome, if the blockade of the Stone Marrow Realm is really lifted, then Director Balto, who chases after it, will face siege from both the King-Slaying Society and the Three Earth Tribes at the same time, and will most likely be in danger.
If we rush over immediately, not only can we ensure that the King-Slaying Society cannot achieve its goal, but we can also ensure the safety of Director Balto. This should be the safest option at the moment, but..."
Although Leon didn't finish his words, everyone present understood what he meant.
However, if they make this choice, it would be tantamount to completely abandoning the royal family of the Northern Kingdom, and even all the people of Rehe City. If the people of the King-Slaying Society are really trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they will have completely lost their protection and will naturally be at the mercy of being slaughtered.
So, on one side are the people of Rehe City, and on the other side is the safety of Uncle Grandpa and Shouwang Palace?
……
After receiving Leon's inquiring gaze, the female cleaner couldn't help but clench her fists subconsciously, and her two beautiful big eyes were filled with confusion.
Just like Leon said, the most "correct" choice at the moment is to go underground first to ensure that the plans of the King-Slayer Society are thwarted and Uncle Grandpa is safe, but...
“The price is too high.”
After looking at the hesitant female cleaner, the middle-aged man "Hope" looked blank for a moment, then frowned and said to Leon:
"Our duty as cleaners is to stand in front of the human race, stop those things that are outside the lives of 'ordinary people', and protect the stability of the world. If we choose to sacrifice the people of Rehe City, it would be a betrayal of our own duties.
Secondly, Sir Lyon, although the option you proposed is the safest, it is too unconfident for the director. As the oldest director of the Huangdao, his strength is one of the best among the Huangdao directors. He may not be unable to catch up with the people of the King Killing Society. Moreover, the director has been chasing for a long time, and it is estimated that he has already entered the Earth Core Melting Channel. At their speed, it is almost impossible for us to catch up. If we go down, we may be a burden, so it is better to try our best to defend Rehe City first..."
When he said this, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, then turned to look at the female cleaner, and said earnestly and slightly sadly:
"Finally, if the worst-case scenario really happens... then I believe that the director will make the same choice as your mother did back then, as a cleaner!"
The choice a cleaner should make...
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the female cleaner couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then bit her lips hard.
"Uncle Hope, you...you're right!"
As if she had made up her mind, the female cleaner looked at Leon with red eyes and said to him with a trembling voice:
“Leon, let’s stay! Uncle told me that as a cleaner, he…he…woo!”
"..."
No...your great uncle is still alive, okay? Why are you acting like he's going to be buried soon?
Seeing the cleaning lady stop talking halfway and suddenly started sobbing, Leon couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a moment.
Weren't we brainstorming on how to get the best of both worlds? How come we suddenly skipped the research and discussion and directly decided to sacrifice your uncle and grandfather, and then suddenly started to be sentimental?
"Mr. Leon!"
Perhaps infected by the atmosphere, the middle-aged man who had just looked depressed suddenly raised his head, looked at Leon with tearful eyes and said:
"Stay and protect Rehe City! Director Balto always told us that his greatest hope in life is not to die of old age in vain, but to sacrifice heroically to protect humanity..."
"Stop! Stop it!"
Being a little overwhelmed by the abnormal excitement of the two female cleaners, Leon couldn't help but complain speechlessly:
"Is Chief Balto usually very bad to you? Why do I feel like you two are just hoping he'll die soon? Calm down and listen to me. If you don't..."
"No! This is a sacrifice that has to be made!"
After interrupting Leon, the middle-aged man clenched his fists and said excitedly:
"The chief's sacrifice will not be in vain! His death will be exchanged for... um... what is this?"
"Something to help you calm down."
He took out a small bottle from the mirror world, dipped his finger in the sticky liquid inside, and flicked a few drops of water at the middle-aged man. Then, Leon grabbed the female cleaner and put the small bottle into her hand.
"Drink! Better drink it all up!"
"???"
Looking at the strange little bottle in her hand, the female cleaner first lowered her head and sniffed it, then couldn't help blinking in surprise and asked with puzzled eyes:
"It smells so familiar... What's in this bottle?"
"Your saliva."
"what?"
"When you were unconscious on the airship, you were drooling while sleeping, so I took some of it."
After explaining the origin of the small bottle of [Calming Saliva], Leon, who had already noticed something was wrong, frowned and urged:
"Drink it quickly! You two have been infected! Finish it first!"
