Chapter 253
Chapter 253
Louis reflected on himself. Deciding to come to the Federation was an impulsive decision. Being a pirate, he was so used to a life of freedom that he didn’t take anyone seriously and he thought that since he was able to escape from Carl’s hands last time, he definitely would be able to bring Xi Ning to leave the Federation with him this time.
Perhaps it was also because of the presence of Carl that he subconsciously felt that Carl would definitely help him at critical times, so he let his guard down.
Now that he and Xi Ning couldn’t get out, plus the Federal Palace was so dangerous, Louis quickly made a decision and contacted Carl.
Xi Ning watched him take out the communicator to send a message, and asked curiously, “Where did this come from?”
After Louis sent the message, he put it away. “Carl gave it to me.”
This was Carl’s usual method. The difference was that this time he accepted the communicator and sent a message on his own initiative. Louis thought he would have some psychological burden, and was hesitating when sending the message, but after sending it he just felt relieved.
Anyway, he just needs to find an opportunity to repay Carl in the future. As for recognizing him as his father in front of everyone, Louis was not ready yet.
After receiving the message, Carl went to see the president alone and asked permission to bring Xi Ning to his residence for protection.
Of course the president disagreed. Xi Ning was Morrison’s fiancée, so how could he live outside.
Carl asked, “Have they caught the culprit that did the poisoning?”
The president kept silent, because after some investigation, they found the cook who had contact with the food poisoned to death in the dormitory. The scene looked like he had committed suicide by taking poison when his crime was exposed, but most people knew that he could have also been killed and then the scene deliberately arranged like that.
Since there were no other people they could interrogate, the clues were cut off like this.
Carl said again, “There must be spies in the hall. His Highness Cyril’s safety is not to be taken lightly. The people in my residence have followed me for more than ten years. You can rest assured to entrusted the safety of His Highness to me.”
Only then did the president agree for Carl to take Xi Ning back, but he had to go quietly, without letting the public and reporters know.
After receiving the good news from Carl. Xi Ning quickly packed up and waited for Carl to pick up him and Louis. The system asked carefully, “When will master come back? What about the mission?”
There is still more than a month before the plot of the original host’s last appearance, Xi Ning replied hesitantly, “I shouldn’t be staying there long, plus it’s still early.”
The system stopped talking. Besides, Xi Ning could use another method to complete the mission as it said last time, saving Morrison and making everyone think that Xi Ning was dead.
It was one of the loopholes in the mission, but if it was not done properly, it may affect the world’s final reward for completing the mission. However, with Xi Ning’s current situation, he didn’t really care about the mission points anymore.
After Carl arranged everything, he took Xi Ning and Louis out of the palace. Xi Ning wore a hat to cover most of his face. After he got into the car, he looked at the street scene outside through the one-way glass.
This was the first time he had seen the streets of Central City. Carl sat in the co-pilot, glanced at Xi Ning through the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, “After this period of time has passed, His Highness can come out for a walk. We have many things that you can’t see in the sea.”
Xi Ning responded, turned around and leaned on Louis’ shoulder. The pilot was Carl’s subordinate. He was focusing on driving and didn’t take a look at them.
Carl looked at Louis again, and said with a little relief, “I’m glad you could come to me for help.”
“Don’t. I am the one who must thank you.” Louis put down the newspaper in his hand, taking into account the presence of Xi Ning, and said vaguely, “When did you start…… Knowing that there were spies in the palace?”
Carl said concisely, “Quite early.”
Since Xi Ning returned to the Federation to live in the palace, he had already arranged for someone to protect him, because there were really too few people patrolling near Xi Ning’s bedroom. If he tried to warn Louis about it, he might not listen to him, so it would be better to just send someone secretly to protect him.
“Don’t worry, that person only came here once. He should have tried to poison the food because he didn’t dare to reappear.” Carl didn’t know that Louis was still hiding the matter from Xi Ning, and said, “But he must have accomplices. You are safest living with me.”
Xi Ning raised his head and asked in confusion, “Who has been here?”
There was silence in the car, Carl had stopped making a sound, and Louis coughed lightly, “I’ll tell you later.”
General Carl’s mansion was very large, comparable to three or four luxury villas with courtyards. The high courtyard walls formed a circle. The car entered through the back door and parked in front of a small two-story house.
Xi Ning got out of the car, the servant stepped forward to pick up the luggage, and Carl said, “Everything had been prepared inside, just stay at ease, you can also tell what else you need.”
He also added, “There is also a swimming pool in the backyard, but it’s not as big as the one in the palace. I hope you won’t mind, your Highness.”
Xi Ning was very surprised that there was a swimming pool, he quickly shook his head, “I don’t mind, I don’t mind, thank you!”
