However, three days later, when Lugh went out to put on his military uniform, he became the young Major who was full of energy and fighting spirit.
He excitedly went to Elisa’s office and prepared to apply to go to Hepeng Valley to improve his strength.
However, when he reached the door, he found that there was a woman standing in Eliza’s office.
The woman had her back to her and was wearing a military uniform.
The military cap pressed on her long silky hair, making her whole temperament seem cold.
Just seeing her back, Lugh was shocked.
How could it be this woman!?
How could this woman be here?
Shouldn’t she be shot or imprisoned?
That’s right. If Lugh guessed correctly, she was Lucy, the daughter of Lucas, the person in charge of the Southwest Region of the Pavilion of Treasures.
“Lugh, you’re here.” Elisa glanced at Arne and greeted him. “I have something to talk to you about.”
Lugh walked into the office and glanced at the woman’s face.
There was no mistake.
It was Lucy.
Lugh frowned and pointed at Lucy. “Captain, why is she here?”
“This is an order from the higher-ups, I can’t do anything about it.”
Elisa spread her hands, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
Lucy slowly turned around and gave Lugh a standard military salute with an expressionless face. “Hello, Major Lugh.”
Lugh waved his hand, not intending to pay any attention to this woman.
“I’ll go and talk to Bania. I’ll accept her joining the military, but can you tell her to get lost?”
Lugh was unable to interfere in the high-level game.
It was also within his expectations that Lucy wasn’t executed.
After all, her father, Lucas, was a supporter of the Pavilion of Treasures in the Southwest of the Pavilion of Treasures. He was also a King-tier Beast Master. If he wanted to save Lucy’s life, it was still possible as long as he paid a sufficient price.
However, what the hell was she doing in the emergency team?
“Wait!”
Elisa walked in front of Lugh.
“Captain, is there anything else?”
He still had a lot of respect for Elisa.
“Forget about Lucy for now. In other respects, Lucy is already considered very outstanding. Back then, Vice-Captain Barnard invited Lucy to join the Emergency Response Team, but she refused.”
“And then?” Lugh asked.
“Lucas personally delivered the cell phones of the ten Star Glory Beast Masters who were chasing you. He also compensated the Southwest Military with three Emperor-tier potential Fierce Beast eggs, ten King-tier potential Fierce Beast eggs, fifty Star Glory-tier Fierce Beast eggs, and a hundred Platinum-tier Fierce Beast eggs. He only hopes that our Southwest Military will let the Pavilion of Treasures off this time and spare his daughter’s life.”
What else could Lugh say?
The Pavilion of Treasures was really f*cking rich.
He turned to look at Lucy. At this moment, Lucy had already lowered her head.
Her two white hands were clasped together quietly.
On the market, the value of a Fierce Beast egg with King’s potential was far higher than that of an adult Fierce Beast of the same level.
A young Beast Master who had signed a contract with a King’s potential pet would be able to grow faster under the guidance of a King’s potential pet.
Only Lucy knew how much the Southwest Pavilion of Treasures had paid this time.
If her father wasn’t a King-tier Beast Master, she might have already been brought to the headquarters for questioning.
“Even General Paul wouldn’t be able to refuse.”
Elisa looked at Lugh helplessly.
What she meant was that they had given too much.
The Southwest Military’s upper echelons also wanted this batch of Fierce Beast eggs.
“I can understand that, but can you transfer her away?”
“Originally, General Paul had planned to sentence her to life imprisonment, but Vice-Captain Barnard felt that Lucy’s talent and abilities were not bad. It would be a pity if she was really put in prison.”
Vice-Captain Barnard of the Emergency Response Team?
Did he receive money?
He definitely received money.
However, General Paul’s operation also made Lugh admire him.
After receiving so many benefits from Lucas, his daughter was sentenced to life imprisonment.
This time, she was a role model for her generation.
“So…”
“So, after Barnard sought the approval of Captain Bania and General Paul, he decided to give Lucy a chance.”
Lugh asked, “What chance?”
“Let her join the 7th squad of the Emergency Response Team and become your adjutant.”
“My adjutant?”
Lugh jumped up from the ground.
Adjutant. In the army of the Illumination Empire Federation, most of their military ranks were very low, and they had almost no real power.
Their main task was to help write documents, pass orders, serve tea and water, and help the leader run errands…
It was very similar to the position of a mystic in the administrative department.
However, in the army, there were only adjutants and no secretaries.
Most adjutants of military officers were of the same sex, and Lugh had never seen a case of the opposite sex.
“But I shouldn’t be qualified for an adjutant, right?” Lugh ridiculed.
“You’re a Major, so you’re qualified.”
“I don’t have real power. I’m just a big-headed soldier. I don’t need an adjutant.”
Elisa pointed at the top of her head. “It’s an order from the higher-ups.”
“I’ll go ask Vice-Captain Barnard.”
After saying that, Lugh ran away.
Even Elisa couldn’t call him back.
Lucy looked at Lugh’s back and her vision became blurry.
She could clearly feel Lugh’s dislike for her.
Elisa casually flipped through the documents and ignored Lucy.
When he saw Captain Barnard, Barnard warmly welcomed Lugh and even asked the adjutant to pour tea for him.
“Sit, don’t stand on ceremony.”
Lugh respectfully sat down on the chair.
“Captain, that Lucy…”
Barnard smiled and lowered his voice, “It’s not bad, right? I arranged it for you.”
Barnard’s tone seemed to be saying, “Lugh, look, don’t I take care of you?”
This made Lugh forget almost everything he wanted to say in an instant.
Lugh whispered, “This is not good.”
“This is the best arrangement. If we really find a random part and let her go, Captain Bania and General Paul will be worried that you will have an opinion!”
“What opinion can I have?”
Barnard said with a smile, “This is hard to say, hard to say.”
Lugh cursed in his heart, “These old foxes, they really think a lot. They are simply using the heart of a villain to measure the stomach of a gentleman.”
How could he, Lugh, be a petty person?
“How about this?” Barnard hesitated for a moment, then he took out a huge beast egg from the space bag at his waist and placed it in front of Lugh.
“I’ll give you the King’s potential Fierce Beast egg. You take Lucy!”
Sure enough!
Lugh was already certain.
This Barnard definitely took money.
He took the money from the Pavilion of Treasures.
Lugh touched the Fierce Beast egg and said hesitantly, “But I have a grudge against Lucy…”
It was impossible to report it.
Reporting it would only offend Barnard, the Vice-Captain of the emergency team.
And he had no evidence.
“I’ve talked to her. She’s very smart. She’ll definitely listen to you obediently. If she makes any strange moves, you can kill her as long as it’s reasonable. Of course, if you’re interested in her, don’t force it. Give her father some face.”
Lugh felt that he and Vice-Captain Barnard didn’t seem to be on the same channel.
Force?
His taste wasn’t that bad, right?
“Can I refuse?”
“I suggest you don’t refuse. If you refuse, General Paul might think that you don’t want to let her go and she’ll be sent back to prison.”
Barnard pointed at the beast egg on the table and said, “Most importantly, this beast egg with King’s potential has to be returned to me directly.”
Barnard emphasized the word ‘return to me’.
Lugh roughly understood what Vice-Captain Barnard meant.
The subtext was that if he didn’t get Lucy out of prison, he might have to return the things he received from Lucas.
“The higher-ups all think that this result isn’t bad and can be accepted.”
“Then I accept.”
Lugh put the beast egg into his spatial bag.
If he could get some, he could get some.
Elisa said that those precious beast eggs might just be compensation on the surface.
No one knew who else had taken the gift from the Pavilion of Treasures in secret?
Seeing Lugh take the thing, Barnard revealed a satisfied smile.
“That Lucy, just treat her as an errand girl. Don’t worry about anything else.”
Barnard said, “Moreover, her ability and talent are very outstanding. Her combat ability is among the top among her peers in the Southwest. She can also participate in the battle at the critical moment.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let her be idle.”
