Auckland on the side couldn't help but smile quietly. It seemed that they had never seen Hall's animal form. They didn't know that Hall was actually just a half-grown tiger cub.
Hall, sitting across from Oakland, clearly saw his smirk and instinctively slapped his paw from under the table, landing squarely on his thigh. Oakland was caught off guard, and his legs trembled in shock, sending the furry little ball, licking his paw, plummeting to the ground.
Auckland reached out to catch it in a hurry, but failed to catch it. The little ball of fur fell upside down, and the whole ball of fur was in a daze.
"Ouch..." The little guy cried out to Auckland in grievance.
Auckland glared at the 'culprit' in annoyance, carefully picked up the little guy, concentrated his spiritual energy in his palm, and gently rubbed the place where the little fur ball was hurt by the fall.
Hall averted his eyes guiltily, rubbed his nose, and continued eating. The others, unaware of the turmoil beneath the table, simply assumed the kid had accidentally fallen down while playing around, so they ignored it and continued to eat. It was common for children to be naughty, and orc cubs were pretty resilient anyway.
At this moment, everyone's light brain suddenly made a soft sound. They were not too unfamiliar with it and knew that it was the notification sound of news push. Generally, entertainment news push would not make any sound unless it was an urgent military report.
Hall and others immediately turned on their optical computers, and saw a very eye-catching message appear on the screen - Zerg appeared in the twelfth star field, and the Federation God of War personally led the team to fight against them.
Everyone's faces suddenly became serious. General Williams personally went into battle, which showed that the Zerg would definitely come with great force this time.
Hall clenched his fists tightly. If it weren't for those despicable villains, he would have been fighting with his father at this moment!
"Boss, don't worry. The general is so powerful, he will definitely return victorious." Chris comforted softly.
Hall still frowned. He stood up and walked towards the bathroom. He needed to ask his brother something.
Oakland also saw the news push just now, and looked at his back with some worry as he left, and rubbed the little ball of fur. Their father went to the battlefield, so it was no wonder that Hall was so worried.
Hall walked into the bathroom, confirmed that no one was inside, locked the door, and called his brother.
"Hall." Owen quickly appeared on the screen, his expression not looking good. "Did you see the news?"
"Brother, what's going on now? Why did father suddenly go to war?" Although Owen had been recuperating at home due to health reasons, he had an excellent talent for heraldry. Therefore, as a specially hired herald of the Second Army, he also served in the army. He knew more about the inside information than him, who had been expelled from the army.
As a general, my father rarely led his troops into battle himself unless the situation was extremely serious.
"The 12th Star Region was suddenly attacked by the Zerg. There were four resource stars and one colony star there, all in imminent danger. They happened to be within the patrol range of us and the Third Army. The Third Army used various excuses to delay the attack, and our soldiers had no choice but to take the lead. However, the Zerg were so fierce and numerous that the casualties on the front lines were heavy. In a rage, my father personally led the army to support them..."
Hall took a deep breath, anger surging in his chest. What a bunch of cowardly scum!
"How's the investigation going?" He had encountered Zerg before when he was patrolling in the 59th star field, and this time it was the same in the 12th star field. The Zerg appeared within their patrol range every time without any signs. It was impossible to say that there was nothing fishy going on.
"No news yet. Those people are very careful."
"Father has gone to war. Who is left behind to take charge?"
“It’s Raman uncle.”
Hall narrowed his eyes slightly, "Brother, contact mother immediately and ask her to go back and supervise."
Although Elaine is only a mecha design master working in a research institute, she holds the rank of colonel and is also the general's wife. Her appearance can prevent those hiding in the dark from acting rashly.
"OK."
"Brother, you don't look well. You should get enough rest." Hall said, looking at his brother's somewhat ugly face.
"Got it, you too."
After ending the call, Hall washed his face and calmed himself down before going out again.
Because of this incident, no one was in the mood to continue eating barbecue. They quickly filled their stomachs, paid the bill and left.
After everyone returned to school by flying car, Hall said to Diana and Ignaz, "See you in the training room after we get back."
"Okay, boss." Because of some people's conspiracy, Hall was unable to fight alongside his father at this time. They knew that he must not be in a very good mood now, and only high-intensity training could prevent him from thinking about these things.
Hall is determined to win the championship of this rookie mecha competition.
"Joey, you have to listen to brother Oakland, okay?" Hall stroked his brother's head and told him to be obedient and not to act naughty. He was very grateful to Oakland for helping him take care of his younger brother at this time.
Although the little furball didn't see the news push on the computer, judging from his brother's reaction, he probably realized that something was wrong and behaved well along the way without causing any trouble.
"Awooo." The little fur ball nodded its head obediently and patted its brother with its little paws as a comfort.
"Sorry to trouble you again." Hall nodded towards Oakland.
"No trouble, no trouble." Auckland waved his hands repeatedly. Being able to take care of the little ball of fur was something he had been longing for, and he didn't think it was a trouble.
After seeing Diana and Ignaz off, Oakland carried the little ball of fur towards the dormitory, and Chris and Hall also returned to their dormitories.
"Boss, I think the people of Auckland are actually quite nice," Chris said with a smile. After these few days of getting to know them, he had a very good impression of Auckland. "They don't really look like Campbells."
"Um."
"Or else, why don't you just not break up your engagement with him?" Chris came forward and said.
"Who said I want to break up with him?" Hall frowned and looked at Chris.
"Ah? Weren't you engaged as children? You haven't seen each other much since you grew up, and his reputation... Anyway, everyone thought you would break off the engagement with him sooner or later..."
"Hmph, it's none of other people's business." Hall glanced at Chris and ignored him.
Chris could only touch his nose, follow his boss obediently, and stop talking nonsense.
Thinking of Oakland's handsome face, with its faint smile, a strange feeling crossed Hall's mind. He had never cared about his engagement before. To him, nothing was more important than family. Since it was his father who chose him, there must have been considerations. Thanks to the propaganda of those who knew Oakland, his reputation as a loser was quite well-known, and people always mentioned his engagement. However, Hall only felt pity for him, so he never considered breaking off the engagement.
When he knew that this person almost lost his life because of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility towards this person. After all, he was his 'fiancé', and protecting him was his responsibility.
But as he got to know her better, he realized she wasn't as pathetic as he'd thought. Auckland possessed a resilient side: the courage to face his overbearing parents, the courage to accept their threats, and the courage to apply for a transfer.
Auckland was already quite accomplished. Even though he had awakened his spiritual power a second time, if he hadn't put in ten or a hundred times more effort, relying solely on his talent, he wouldn't have been able to achieve his current level of achievement in heraldry.
Auckland was also incredibly... kind and innocent... He took great care of his younger brother, showing no disdain for his own weaker beast form, and would prioritize making high-quality emblems for himself...
Hall couldn't help but think of Chris's words. Perhaps having a fiancé like this wouldn't be so bad...
Oakland had no idea what Hall was thinking at the moment. He happily carried the little ball of fur back to the dormitory and went to wash the little guy.
After taking a bath and blowing dry the fur, the little guy turned into a soft, fluffy and cute white fur ball, which made Auckland's heart almost melt.
After the little guy had his fill, took a comfortable bath, and enjoyed Auckland's exclusive Reiki massage, he soon fell into a dream and slept soundly with his four paws facing the sky.
Auckland placed a corner of the quilt on the soft belly of the little ball of fur, put on the smart helmet, and entered the star network.
He knew that returning to the army was important for Hall, so he decided to make some more elemental emblems to help Hall and his team advance to the finals!
