Teaming Up With System 225

Interstellar General (8)

"Ran away because General Silas is too strong?! No refunds?!" Norton Hanover stared at the message that Captain Aylward had sent him and almost crushed his desk to pieces.

"Damn it! What's so good about that asshole?!"

He wasn't sure about the conditions for the pirates to ignore a target. He didn't put two and two together at all.

"Once again you failed." A voice from the hologram gave a sigh of annoyance. It was Caspian's.

"We failed. Don't put the blame on me!"

They both had to spend a fortune to hire these damn pirates and they got nothing in return!

"Don't make any further moves. I have a plan for when he comes back."

"What's the plan?"

"If we weren't teaming up I wouldn't be telling you anything, but you need to listen to everything that I am saying."

The two talked in low voices in fear of someone walking by.

It took a few more days before Silas, Grey, and their men were able to make it back to the Capital Star of the Fedrana Empire. Ylesey was a relatively large planet that held 2 billion people.

The First Legion's headquarters was on Ebunox territory. That was the first place they stopped at. Silas dropped off his men and headed toward the palace with Grey.

The one who was shocked to see this was Norton Hanover who knew Grey. When he saw Grey walking hand in hand with Silas into the palace, he almost ran over and grabbed Grey. Since General Silas was alive, he thought the spy he paid for was dead, but who knew the spy would not only live, but he even seduced General Silas!

Grey could feel a pair of eyes on him, but he ignored it. He already knew who it was that was staring at him. It was a good thing he had asked Silas to help hide his parents. After this encounter, Norton would probably kill his family in retaliation.

He suddenly heard System 225's voice, [Norton's face is priceless. I took a screenshot of it so I can show it to you. Would you like to see it?]

'Sure. I didn't know you could do this.'

[I have a lot of screenshots, but this one is top-tier.]

No one else could see it, but a picture of Norton's face showed up in front of Grey's face. The blonde-haired man's blue eyes looked like it was going to pop out of his socket. He looked terrified and also shocked. His face was slightly distorted so his originally conventionally handsome face looked strange.

Grey almost choked on his own saliva seeing the image. No one else could see it so he looked a little strange.

"Grey, are you alright?" Silas looked over at Grey a bit worried.

He thought maybe Grey aggravated one of his old wounds.

"I'm alright, I just remembered something really funny and almost choked on my own saliva."

"What was so funny?"

Grey had to think of something on the spot.

"Do you remember that one time in the second world we met when..."

It was story time from Grey until they got to the audience room. They waited at the large doors while one of the guards knocked on the door and requested access. After the Emperor confirmed their arrival, the guards opened up the large doors.
