Chapter 144: Amyrius's Decision



Looking at the villa glowing with lights in the darkness, Klein prepared himself mentally for several seconds before getting off the carriage. He walked up the three steps to the gate and entered the house surrounded by the general's guards and servants on both sides.

Seeing that Cynthia was wearing conservative clothes because someone else was around, Klein breathed a sigh of relief silently. He kept his serious expression unchanged and slowly walked over.

Cynthia's smile became more obvious. She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears, revealing her slender white neck with no trace of the necklace on it.

Seeing Secretary Lu Er'an and the members of the general's guard either heading to their own rooms or dispersing outside the house to guard, Klein spoke in a deep voice before Cynthia could give him a hug:

"Don't prepare hot water. Give me a quiet room. I need to be alone for a night."

“…” Cynthia expressed her confusion and doubt with her eyes.

Klein looked around and said in a low voice:

"Something went wrong and I had to get into a very calm state to recover."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and slightly pulled the cuff of his sleeve, revealing distinct light-colored granulations.

Poor physical condition and certain abnormal reactions were the excuses Admiral Amyrius prepared for the homeless substitute to help him escape Cynthia's request for intimacy without exposing the problem. In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Klein deliberately used the "Faceless Man" technique to provide "evidence."

Cynthia opened her mouth and almost screamed, but fortunately, she raised her palm in time to block the sound.

"Are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor?" Cynthia calmed down a little and immediately asked nervously, her concern evident in her words.

“No, this is the necessary price to pay for gaining powerful strength. I will be back to normal after two or three days of calm.” Klein also found a reason for the follow-up.

“Okay, okay.” Cynthia hurriedly led Klein up to the second floor and took him into the quietest room.

As for the master bedroom, she had not given it up because she had lit some incense and sprinkled some pure water with a subtle scent.

Watching the door close, Klein exhaled slowly, changed out of his general's uniform, and lay down comfortably on the bed.

In the master bedroom not far away, Cynthia, who was worried and lost, took a hot bath and also got into bed.

She stared at the ceiling with unfocused eyes, and couldn't help but think of the instructions her father and mother had given her a few days ago.

They asked her to please Admiral Amyrius and hopefully get pregnant with his child, so that the family could get a larger share of the Central Sonia Navy Fleet.

The general seemed to have a lot of things hidden in his heart, so much so that his body showed some abnormalities... Cynthia thought aimlessly, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

She fell asleep without realizing it.

She vaguely felt her stomach and body were a little hot, and in her dream she seemed to see a dark night sky dotted with bright stars.

One of them seemed to sense her gaze and shone even brighter.

…………

The next morning, Klein, feeling refreshed, enjoyed a hearty but unremarkable breakfast, and once again, accompanied by the general's guards, he came to the Oravi Naval Base and requisitioned the most luxurious and spacious office.

Admiral Amyrius would be alone for a while every two or three days to study and master his extraordinary abilities at a deeper level and develop more practical skills. Therefore, Klein would have most of the day to be undisturbed, and the rest of the time he would only have to deal with some simple official duties.

In the quiet and spacious office, Klein either leisurely paced back and forth or took books from the shelf to read. From time to time, he reached into his pocket and touched the "Ninth Law" spell, making it exude an unusually deep majesty. This was to make the blond secretary Lu Er'an outside believe that there was nothing wrong with Admiral Amyrius.

After an unknown amount of time, Klein felt a little sleepy and decided to take a nap.

Just then, he heard a knock on the door.

There is something very important... Klein frowned.

The matter that could cause Secretary Luran to disturb Admiral Amyrius from concentrating on his practice must not be simple!

“Come in.” Klein restrained his emotions and responded in a deep voice.

Lu Er'an, a handsome young man with blond hair, turned the handle, opened the door and came in, seeming to be holding a telegram in his hand.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Admiral, Backlund's telegram.

"Mr. Oxton has been relieved of his post as Governor and will be replaced by the Speaker of the City Council.

"It is said that the new Governor will arrive today."

Austin Levitt was dismissed from his post as governor? Has their conspiracy been discovered? That's right. The Twilight Hermits came to warn me, no, Amyrius, which means they already knew the specific situation. With the help of some members, the matter will most likely be eliminated through a series of job changes... They only warned the night before, but they started taking action today. They must have been preparing for a long time... Well, we can tell this from the fact that the new governor will arrive today... Klein was shocked at first, but then he felt that this was reasonable.

He imitated Admiral Amyrius's attitude when facing a major problem, paced back and forth a few steps, and said with a serious expression:

"I see."

Klein did not express his opinion or issue any orders, appearing extremely serious.

However, in reality, he had no idea what to do.

We have a saying in our Great Foodie Empire: "It is better to be still than to move." I wonder if Russell has translated it... Klein thought half in self-mockery and half in ridicule.

Lu Er'an looked up at Admiral Amyrius, said nothing more, and quietly left the office.

Huh... Klein paced again, thinking about what choice the real Admiral Amyrius would make if he were standing here.

This was an important and unexpected event, and there was no corresponding plan, so Klein could only make inferences based on Amyrius's personality, experience, and some of his self-statements in the information.

He is a conservative person. Even though he is in the middle or low sequence and mingles with various ships, he rarely takes risks... He considers himself a Loen noble who values ​​family, relatives, children, and emotions. He is a gentleman who is very graceful and popular with women. Well, this is worth discussing. With his rank and identity, even if he were replaced by a curly-haired baboon, he would be loved by women and men. No, he would be even more popular. At least a curly-haired baboon would not tell outdated jokes... In Klein's mind, pieces of information flashed through his mind and intertwined into a three-dimensional image of Admiral Amyrius.

While he was immersed in this, he heard the knock on the door again.

“Come in.” Klein’s mind suddenly became extremely tense.

The blonde secretary Lu Er'an opened the door and pointed outside.

"Your Excellency the Admiral, Mr. Austin wants to see you."

Why did Auston come here? Did he want to see Amyrius for protection, or was he planning to make a last-ditch effort? Klein narrowed his eyes and found that he had to make a decision for Admiral Amyrius.

"What will he do? After receiving the warning from the 'Twilight Hermits', he should understand that the matter has been exposed and the target has been prepared. With his conservative personality, the choice is imaginable...

"But, he also attaches great importance to family affection, and even describes some interesting things about Auston Levitt in detail in the information. It is not difficult to see that it contains the concern and love of the elder brother for the younger brother... He doesn't like marijuana or cigarettes, and he only drinks for socializing. Apart from being a little obsessed with beauty, he doesn't have any major problems...

"He attaches great importance to family...family..." Klein recalled quickly, completely immersing himself in the identity of Amyrius, and understanding the other party's hidden emotions and the things he values.

Family... At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into Amyrius, but he was analyzing various problems in a detached manner.

After a dozen seconds of silence, Klein heard himself say in a somewhat unfamiliar and cold tone:

“Tell him I have a lot of things to deal with and don’t have time to see him.

"Also, buy him a boat ticket back to Backlund."

As if Lu Er'an had expected this, he looked away and responded without showing any abnormality:

"Yes, Your Excellency Admiral."

Watching Lueran leave the office and go outside to look for Auston Levitt, Klein sighed softly, just like the real Amyrius Levitt.

He knew that if the other party came back early, he would make the same choice.

Because what he values ​​most is family!

Now that his plan had been exposed, Amyrius would not throw away his last bargaining chip and put his family in danger of destruction. As long as he did not interfere and as long as he was still a demigod, the Levitt family would not suffer too serious damage even if he no longer served as the supreme commander of the Central Sonia Navy.

Asking the secretary to buy the boat tickets shows that Amyrius still regards Austin as a brother, and warns others not to hurt each other before the problem is clarified.

After nearly a minute, the blonde secretary Lu Eran returned and said:

"Your Excellency the Admiral, Mr. Austin has left."

Amyrius attaches great importance to family ties... Klein was silent for two seconds, turned his back to the secretary, and asked in a low voice:

"Did he say anything?"

Lu Er'an answered truthfully:

"He said you are indeed a naturally cold person."

Klein listened quietly, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile without any hint of laughter.

This was his instinctive reaction, but since he had already integrated into the identity of Amyrius, he believed that the admiral would have expressed the same thing.

The feeling and emotion are consistent!

For the next few days, Klein sat in his office. He did not see any guests, nor did he handle any official business. He just occasionally listened in silence to Secretary Lueran's report on the situation on Oravi Island.

Nothing happened until the new Governor arrived.

In the evening, he turned down the scheduled dinner and returned to the garden villa. He looked at Cynthia who was walking towards him and hugged her.

Then he said calmly:

"Auston has been relieved of his post as Governor."

All the sighs, all the groans, all the pain were condensed in these words without any emotion.

"I heard it, it should be okay, right?" Cynthia asked nervously.

Klein closed his eyes and didn't mention the matter again. He just said "hmm" softly.

The words just now were the most obvious emotional outpouring that a serious, old-fashioned, conservative and introverted person in a high position could make...
