Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1643: The Careful Cruze

Just as Fleur Monroe was taking Cruze back to the room, a black-haired man came towards them. When Fleur Monroe saw the other person coming, her face became very ugly. Now she couldn't get around him, so she could only step forward to explain and try to conceal Cruze's identity. As a result, the other party didn't give Fleur Monroe any chance to speak at all, and directly slapped her in the face, knocking Fleur Monroe to the ground.

"I heard that a traitor colluded with outsiders to sneak into the palace, but I still don't quite believe it." The man drew his sword and put it on Cruze's neck, threatening, "Don't move, outsider. I'll come and interrogate you later. Where did this rat come from? Guards, catch him."

"Yes!"

Then the man completely ignored Cruze, picked up Fleur Monroe by the collar, and punched her again, showing no mercy at all: "I originally thought you were just a waste, but I didn't expect you to be a traitor. Fleur, it turns out that my opinion was correct. You are not qualified to be a Paladin..."

"Sorry to interrupt, sir. Although I don't like to interfere in other people's family affairs, men should be more gentlemanly." "Huh? What did you do?" The black-haired man turned his head and found that the guards he brought with him were standing motionless beside Cruze, as if Cruze was the master.

However, it was completely different from Fleur Monroe. Seeing such a weird situation, the black-haired man just became more alert and was not frightened by the weird scene. However...it was probably because he had not experienced it personally. The next second, the black-haired man suddenly found that he could not move, and his expression froze.

"What...did you...do?"

"Wow? I'm quite surprised that you can still speak." Cruze was indeed surprised. He controlled the whole body of the black-haired man with the same force as when he controlled Fleur Monroe. Fleur Monroe could only adjust her expression stiffly, but this man could still speak. Moreover, the sensing of mental waves did not detect very strong mental waves, which meant that this man did it entirely by willpower.

"you……"

"Okay, you can shut up now." Cruze's control was not just to this extent. He increased the strength a little bit and the black-haired man shut up. Not only that, he couldn't even move his eyeballs. He was completely Cruze's puppet.

"Are you okay, Miss Fleur?" Cruze kindly stretched out his hand to pull Fleur Monroe up, but Fleur Monroe slapped his hand away. He stood up by himself and looked at the black-haired man with a very complicated expression. He clenched his fists tightly, but just couldn't swing them up.

"Well, Miss Fleur, please introduce this person to me..." Cruze has already identified the man in front of him in his mind, but he still hopes that Fleur Monroe will introduce him to him in person. After all, the relationship between the two is... a bit interesting. It can also be regarded as Cruze's small revenge on Fleur Monroe for warning him. Cruze has never been narrow-minded.

Oh, yes, including watching Fleur Monroe being beaten by the black-haired man.

"..." Fulu Monroe didn't know if Cruze really didn't know the man in front of him. Although she felt very complicated, she still introduced him to Cruze, "His name is Ovan, Ovan Ranks. He is the last Paladin besides me and the general agent, and... he is the general agent's man."

"I see, but why do I feel like your relationship is unusual?" Cruze suddenly realized, but soon a hint of interest appeared on his lips.

"You!" Fleur Monroe is not a simple-minded, muscular fool. If she still can't see that Cruze recognized Orvan Ranks' identity from the beginning and deliberately used this to retaliate against her, then her brain is in vain!
"Hmm? What's wrong? Oh, I see. I was too presumptuous, Miss Fulu. I shouldn't have asked about your personal issues. I apologize." "You... Humph!" This made Fulu Monroe more certain that Cruze was taking revenge on her, but... looking at Ovan Ranks who was completely controlled, Fulu Monroe's expression became complicated again, "...Can you let him go?"

"It seems that you are a good woman, Miss Fulu. He treats you like this, but you still care about him. But Miss Fulu, is it because you are too weak that he dares to beat you? Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that I cannot reveal now. If Glendon knows about this, I am not worried about the danger, but if I am soft-hearted for a moment and cause everyone's plan to fail..."

Before he could finish his words, invisible silk thread suddenly wrapped around Ovan Ranks tightly, and the thread had already cut into the flesh around his neck. With a little more force, Ovan Ranks' neck would be cut off.

"Wait!" Fulu Monroe hurriedly stopped Cruze and racked her brains to find words to dissuade Cruze. "There are only three paladins left in Free. Apart from the general agent, there are only me and Ovan. He is also one of Free's important fighting forces. As long as we persuade him well, he will definitely change his mind. Believe me, I will definitely convince him..."

"Your previous performance was not very convincing, Miss Fulu."

"Ovan is a Paladin of Free. Even though... he did not violate Free's laws, let alone the rules of the Promise Legion, you have no right to execute him directly."

"Well, that does make sense..." Cruze pretended to be troubled and thinking.

But Fulu Monroe, who had been fooled before, did not intend to be fooled again. She said directly, "Mr. Cruze, please stop teasing me. I know you won't let me take Ao Fan away, so Ao Fan can be handed over to you, but please don't hurt him. How about leaving the final judgment to His Majesty?"

"Well... okay." Cruze didn't think that Ovan Ranks was that strong, and he didn't have much value as a fighting force. However... as long as Cruze wanted, Ovan Ranks would never be able to regain his freedom. So he might as well keep him. Based on Cruze's opinion of Shanamia... she should find a way to keep Ovan Ranks, and then Ovan Ranks could be priced well.

"Okay, but before that, he has to be under my control. I won't give in on that."

"No problem." After getting Cruze's reply, Fleur Monroe was relieved. At least Orvan Ranks survived. The rest... can only be left to Her Majesty the Queen.

"Then... let's go, Miss Furu. I'm a little tired after talking for so long."

This time, Cruze did not let Fleur Monroe lead the way again. Anyway, a group of people had already discovered him, and Cruze did not mind controlling the second group. It was just a matter of thought for him anyway. And Ovan Ranks... and the guards he brought, in Cruze's eyes, had another value.

"Yes, I'm still a little unskilled, so I'll use you as my training ground."
