Chapter 207 Sacrifice



After repeated persuasion from Hu Chao and Adrian, Diwei finally relented and agreed to return to Herka Star.

After the conversation, Adrian immediately arranged for a doctor to give Divi a physical examination. After so many years on the insect planet, she had developed some health problems.

Meanwhile, research on the Insect Planet continued, and soon good news came from Helian Jue, the capital planet.

A relatively complete solution has been developed for dealing with the toxic substances in the outer light band of the insectoid planet.

The specific procedures were handled by Ye Xin and Nuoer from both sides.

Half a month after General Diwei was found, the population census of the insect planet was completed. All the people were registered, incorporated into the insect planet system, and their physical condition was scanned and recorded.

Apart from General Diwei and Hu Chao, there is not a single normal person on the entire insect planet.

Adrian finished his work while cursing the league.

After organizing the insect planet in an orderly manner, Adrian took some time to return to Herka.

That evening, after landing on Herka Star, Adrian did not go home and forbade anyone else to follow him. Instead, he went alone with his uncle to the back of the villa.

Martin and Gid watched their boss's heavy steps from behind, exchanged a glance, and waited in place in perfect unison.

Adrian's villa on Herka is nestled at the foot of a mountain, with a small hill behind it.

This small hill was the home of Adrian's parents.

Following the only stone path, he walked uphill. White pillar lamps stood on both sides of the path. This place was for pedestrians only; no other vehicles were allowed to come up. Adrian always chose to walk alone.

After walking for a full forty minutes, the tombstones of Dantès and his wife came into view.

The two round tombs look like they've split a sphere in two.

Adrian stood before the two graves for a long time, his long-held upright posture bending low.

It resembles a tall pine tree, bent over by rain and frost.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Adrian felt his body stiffen before he finally spoke, "Father, Mother, your son has come to see you."

"I found Aunt Diwei."

"Now that I know what happened back then, I will avenge you."

"Definitely."

"Definitely!"

Adrian only knew that his father, a high-ranking official in the Alliance, was framed and forced to flee to White Star, where he died in despair.

I still don't know the specific reason why she framed her father for molesting children in an orphanage. How ironic, how truly ironic.

Just because his father regularly used part of his allowance to support welfare homes, he was falsely accused of a crime?

In Adrian's memory, his family barely had enough to eat.

The residences on the capital planet belong to the Alliance. The houses look glamorous on the outside, but they are actually very simple and poor inside.

My mother and father both worried about household expenses, but they never thought about stopping their financial support. They always believed that we were already very fortunate compared to them.

But it was precisely these children, whom the fathers wholeheartedly supported, who turned into demons and pushed their fathers into an abyss.

"Father, I will definitely clear your name." Adrian silently vowed. Those children who testified in court back then have long since grown up. He wondered if they felt guilty when they woke up in the middle of the night.

Adrian sat down on the steps in front of him and began to tell his parents about the development and changes of the Alliance, the Empire, and the entire interstellar space during this period.

Just like a child who has been wronged outside and confides in his parents, even though the parents will no longer respond to him.

After his parents passed away, Adrian went through a period of complete despair, becoming a space pirate and hijacking any Alliance ships to vent his resentment.

Gradually, he became the leader of the space pirates, and all the minor leaders of the space pirates followed him.

But Adrian did not feel any relief; deep down, he felt empty, devoid of any hope or purpose.

Until that day, when he hijacked an Alliance spaceship, he was unexpectedly injured and fell into a coma.

He dreamt of himself as a child, excitedly telling his parents about his dreams.

The father's stern face softened with a gentle smile, and the mother gently stroked her head, offering unwavering support and encouragement for his words.

Upon waking, Adrian retired from his life of interstellar pirates and transformed into a merchant, taking on the business of opening new interstellar routes.

“Father, I am now cooperating with the Empire,” Adrian murmured. “You won’t blame me, will you?”

"The Alliance has no hope left, only the Empire."

"Helian Jue has the talent of a monarch."

"If you were still alive, you would definitely agree."
