What does Dax Wayne want with him?

This was the first thought that popped into Arad's mind.

Ankes and Heliantu, who were walking ahead, also heard it and turned around.

The guard pretended not to see the two men and stared at Arad indifferently.

“Your Highness, I…” Arad always remembered that he was Helian Tu’s guard, and in this situation, he would consult Helian Tu immediately.

Helian Tu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. What did Dax Weren want to do? Did he have his eye on his guards?

“Your Highness, we are now the Commander’s men. Since it is the Commander’s order, we must follow the rules.” Ankes pressed on Helian Tu’s shoulder, applying a bit of force as he reminded him.

Helian Tu could only force a relaxed smile. "Go ahead, it's your good fortune to be summoned by the commander."

Arad nodded slightly to Helian Tu and left with the guards.

Ankes and Heliantu continued walking together. After Arad left, Heliantu's expression turned somewhat grim.

“Your Highness, your guard has a very bright future ahead of him,” Ankes suddenly blurted out.

After saying that, he realized he had spoken out of turn and tried to make amends, saying, "I... I just said it casually, Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."

Helian Tu gave a forced smile, but inwardly he kept wondering if Arad would betray him...

Arad followed the guards back to the commander's mansion, to Dax Weren's study, where he sat alone.

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief." Arad bowed and greeted him.

Dax Weren met with Arad alone, and perhaps because he genuinely admired the man, his expression was much lighter than before. "Sit down."

Arad did not sit down immediately, but asked, "What important matter does the Commander-in-Chief wish to discuss with me?"

Dax Weren remained silent, simply watching Arad and testing him with his own oppressive aura.

Five minutes later, Dax Weren looked away. "You're pretty good."

"Would you be interested in serving a different master?"

The question is quite clear: is Arad asking if he's willing to work with Dax Wayne?

But his target was Helian Tu...

"Thank you for your kind words, Commander. I am Your Highness's bodyguard and will naturally serve you."

Arad replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "And since Your Highness now serves you, I will naturally serve you as well."

"If I asked Helian Tu to let you come, would he part with it?" Dax Weren continued to ask.

Arad's forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat. "I do not know."

Dax Weren suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "Go down."

Arad secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes."

After Arad left, a person emerged from a hidden door in the study. "Commander, I wonder why you..."

"You want to ask me why I'm interested in Arad?"

Dax Weren's voice was unusually cold, "What kind of capable people don't I have around me? Do I need a bodyguard like Helian Tu?"

"I need to make Helian Tu suspicious of his guards so that we can have an opportunity to take advantage of him."

"Helian Tu can only trust us wholeheartedly to dare to let him act as a pawn. After all, he is a man of the empire."

Dax Weren didn't finish his sentence. What if Helian Tu was just feigning surrender and colluding with Helian Jue from within?

While the above possibilities are relatively small, they are not impossible.

"The Commander-in-Chief's insight is brilliant!"

Sow discord, then defeat them one by one.

After leaving the commander's mansion, Arad did not rush back to Heliantu's residence.

Passing by a café on White Star, Arad turned in, went up to the second floor via a hidden staircase, and opened the last room after passing the pupil verification.

A very simple room, with a table and two chairs filling the entire space.

Arad seized the opportunity and activated a long-range information transmitter.

This is a piece of equipment newly developed by the Imperial military's weapons laboratory, which was secretly transported here just two days ago.

Arad transmitted everything he knew via text: Dax Weren wanted to sow discord between him and Heliantu, as well as the alliance's plans and intentions.

After the message was sent, Arad looked at the message he had received, a few replies, and a letter from Yuan'er.

Time was running out, and Arad hurriedly replied to Yuan'er that he would definitely go back and marry her.

Eight minutes passed quickly, which was long enough. Arad quickly shut down the equipment, pretended to be a customer of the coffee shop, and left with the freshly made coffee and dessert, returning to Heliantu's residence.

During a stop at a coffee shop on the way, I was, as expected, questioned by Helian Tu.

"The barista made a mistake and had to remake two cups, which caused the delay," Arad said, offering the excuse he had prepared beforehand. "Your Highness, would you like to try?"

"I think it tastes good, compared to the previous one in the capital city..."

“It tastes very similar to what I drank before,” Arad quickly corrected himself.

He handed over the coffee and then stood there quietly without saying another word.

Helian Tu seemed to be pondering the veracity of Arad's words and did not immediately ask anyone to sit down.

At the same time, Arad was not afraid at all. So what if Heliantu sent people to investigate again? What he said was the truth.

He communicated with the Empire very infrequently and from unpredictable locations. During the months he was in the Alliance, Helian Tu was completely unaware of this.

That's how he came to understand that the Empire had a very good grasp of the Alliance's overall situation; to be precise, it should be said that His Highness the Crown Prince had a very good grasp of the Alliance's situation.

No wonder Helian Tu couldn't win against the Crown Prince...

"What does the Commander-in-Chief want with you?" Helian Tu asked directly after taking a sip of his drink.
