Chapter 173
The Alman family was able to pass from the Earth period to the interstellar period, and still holds power today. There must be a lot of family members, plus in-laws. If Wu Zimo really counts the number of relatives, he would be dizzy.
However, the only one who is of the same generation and closest to Scott is Caroline.
Scott and his father, the old marshal, were both single sons, so Scott had no direct elders. He only had a younger brother on Mrs. Alman's side, who gave birth to a daughter, Caroline.
That's why Mrs. Armand hopes that Caroline can get along well with Scott, but every time Caroline is with Scott, it feels like a cat and a mouse standing together.
Caroline had no idea of the evil intentions of her elders, so she could only stand carefully beside her terrifying cousin Scott every time, for fear that she would accidentally make him angry.
Caroline was very excited when she met the young man Wu Zimo for the first time today, because her cousin finally found his wife, so she had an excuse not to hang out with her cousin at the party!
Moreover, Caroline was very satisfied with her first impression of Wu Zimo. Although it was strange, how could such a quiet boy fall in love with his cousin who was such an iceberg?
Forget it, here’s another ignorant person who was deceived by Wu Zimo’s appearance.
Caroline suddenly interrupted. She was also a little worried that her cousin would be unhappy. But after she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Scott beside her. Her cousin was still looking at Wu Zimo with such a gentle expression, not looking at her. Caroline didn't know whether she should be happy or depressed.
Scott's look made Caroline more confident, knowing that he would never act cold in front of the young man Wu Zimo. Caroline, feeling relieved, became even more enthusiastic towards Wu Zimo.
There are some things that Scott would certainly not tell Wu Zimo like Caroline, especially some gossip and funny things about the Alman family.
Wu Zimo listened with great interest. Caroline was such a good speaker that Wu Zimo almost doubted whether she was a host or a broadcaster.
Just now, Mrs. Alman took Wu Zimo for a walk, which was considered as a face-saving in front of the family members. Wu Zimo himself was not very used to such banquets, and Scott also noticed it. After greeting Mrs. Alman, he took Wu Zimo to the garden.
Of course Caroline followed happily, her gossip with her cousin's wife had just begun.
All the buildings where the Alman family resides have their own gardens, which made Wu Zimo, who first learned about it, not know how to complain about how corrupt the rich and powerful are.
Although the garden of this castle is not as large and elegant as that of the main castle, it is still an eye-opener for a country bumpkin like Wu Zimo, and he is also very curious about the garden maze inside the garden.
Scott was sent by Wu Zimo to get drinks, and now the girl Caroline is accompanying Wu Zimo. Caroline saw that Wu Zimo's eyes were fixed on the garden maze in front of him, and asked, "Amo, are you interested in that?"
After her cousin asked her to do so, she could no longer call him "cousin-law". However, calling Wu Zimo "A-Mo" sounded a bit strange, so after asking Wu Zimo, Caroline decided to call him "A-Mo". And you wouldn't know it until you hear it, but this girl Caroline is actually older than Wu Zimo!
Caroline, 26 years old this year, has graduated from the academy and has been an interstellar mercenary for two years!
When Wu Zimo learned that Caroline was older than him and was a mercenary roaming the stars, he felt a little embarrassed when he recalled the expression on his face.
Hearing Caroline's question, Wu Zimo nodded: "Because it's the first time I see it."
There was no garden maze in the garden of the main castle, and it was even less likely that there would be one in the garden of Scott's villa, so Wu Zimo had only seen a garden maze on the Internet in his previous life.
When Caroline heard that this was the first time Wu Zimo had seen this, her expression did not change. She was still enthusiastically introducing to Wu Zimo the natural landscapes similar to garden mazes that she had seen on other planets in the galaxy. Of course, many of them were formed by nature itself.
Moreover, the network signal in these places is often poor, and people can only rely on manpower, so many young people who like challenges will choose these places for travel and adventure.
Of course, for the awakened Sentinel Guides, the dangers in these places are generally not that great.
Wu Zimo felt a little emotional as he watched him talk endlessly about the beautiful scenery on various planets in the interstellar space.
"Caroline, why did you choose to be a mercenary?"
Caroline is a guide. Wu Zimo discovered this the first time he saw her. Moreover, she is a guide with strong mental strength. A lady with a family background like Caroline would either enter the research institute or go to the hospital, or join a guide agency.
However, this girl is so tough that she becomes a mercenary. It is not easy to be a mercenary in the interstellar industry. It requires a lot of physical strength, willpower and ability.
Therefore, there are very few guides among mercenaries, and sentinels are the majority. Many of these sentinels became mercenaries after retiring from the army for various reasons.
Of course, there are guides among the mercenaries, but most of them become mercenaries because they are bound to the Sentinels. Unlike Caroline, who was not bound to a sentinel but was able to make a certain reputation in the mercenary world with her own strength.
The saying "You can't judge a book by its cover" is very apt in describing the situation of Caroline.
"Because we can go on adventures everywhere, and most importantly, there are no restrictions, so we are very free." Although the Orafa family is not as good as the Alman family, it still has a status in the interstellar space.
It's just that the personality of this family member is very obvious, he is selfish and yearns for freedom. Just look at Mrs. Alman and you will know that before she married into the Alman family, she was also a scientific researcher traveling all over the interstellar space.
As the two chatted, the topic turned to the Orafa family and Mrs. Alman, which made Wu Zimo feel that he was really surprised. It turned out that Mrs. Alman was also so tough in her past.
At this time, the marshal who was sent by Wu Zimo to get drinks finally came back.
There was no need for Scott to go in person to get the drinks. It was just Wu Zimo's request, and Scott would have no objection.
Wu Zimo saw Scott coming back, and took the non-alcoholic drink from Scott with a smile, handed it to Scott's mouth and said, "Dear, you have worked hard."
Scott's eyes were filled with pampering and tenderness at the boy's flattering behavior. Following Wu Zimo's movements, Scott tasted a bite and poured the rest into Wu Zimo's own mouth.
After seeing Scott come back, Caroline started to become as quiet as a chicken, like a mouse seeing a cat. But to be honest, even if she didn't want to be quiet, she had to be quiet because the behavior of the two people opposite was so embarrassing.
Caroline has many suitors, but at this moment, she still feels like a single person who has suffered a critical hit.
She should be happy that her cousin and his wife have a good relationship, but why does she feel like crying at this moment? !
Today's family gathering finally ended, and Wu Zimo didn't need to see them off because those people had to stay in the castle to attend his wedding with Scott in a few days.
After exchanging a few words with the family members, Wu Zimo followed Scott and did not return to the main castle, but returned to Scott's villa.
Even after living in the main castle for a few days, Wu Zimo still felt very uncomfortable. It was too spacious and too big. The land in the interstellar space was really worthless.
After returning to Scott's villa, Wu Zimo felt relaxed and the smile on his face deepened.
In fact, Scott has always known that Wu Zimo is not used to the main castle, but there is nothing he can do. They will live in the main castle in the future, but they should not have to stay in the main castle most of the time like their mother.
Scott is the Marshal of the Condemnation Legion, and a newcomer who has taken over the position of Marshal at a very young age. His term of office will not be short.
Wu Zimo is a scientific researcher, a very powerful and important researcher to the Federation. Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, Wu Zimo will not stay quietly in Alman Manor to deal with various forces.
So I can only apologize to my mother. The burden of dealing with the family still falls on her shoulders.
After Wu Zimo and Scott finished their dinner, they returned to their room.
Wu Zimo lazily lay on the sofa in the bedroom, watching Scott sorting out the washed clothes, and said with a smile on his face: "Scott, I find that the people in your family are really amazing."
In the afternoon, he learned from Caroline that the Alman family had few direct descendants, but many branches, and most of the people in the branches served in the Legion of Condemnation. No wonder it is said that the Condemnation Legion is inseparable from the Alman Family, because if the members of the Alman Family were really to be deducted, the Condemnation Legion would be useless.
Scott tidied his clothes before walking to the sofa. Looking at the lazy boy, he reached out and hugged Wu Zimo, who was lying on the sofa, into his arms.
Ignoring Wu Zimo's teasing, he whispered in Wu Zimo's ear: "Do you like Caroline very much?"
"Huh?" Why did the topic suddenly turn to Caroline? Because he was held by Scott, Wu Zimo couldn't turn around, so he could only turn his head and ask curiously: "Why do you ask?"
Scott didn't answer, his silver eyes darkened. How could Scott ignore the change in the boy in his arms when he saw Caroline for the first time, especially since he had deliberately sent him away in the afternoon. When he came back, he saw that the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.
It has been said before that the Marshal is very petty and has a very strong possessiveness. If Caroline was not a guide and not his cousin, how could he be so heartless as to disturb their relationship.
Fortunately, Caroline didn't know that Scott was jealous, otherwise this girl would not be able to sleep well.
Wu Zimo didn't think at first that Scott was jealous, but when the Marshal's hands moved more and more passionately on his body and something discordant under his butt began to poke him, he quickly realized.
"Pfft, honey, you are jealous."
