Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 778 Patrick's decision!
"Snapped!"

The loud sound of slapping echoed throughout the third underground floor.

The side of Aoife's face quickly turned red.

"Do you know that you let the murderer who killed Daniel and Lidrad go!"

The beautiful blonde girl raised her eyebrows and looked at Aoife with fierce eyes.

Aoife lowered his head and responded calmly.

"Yes! I let the murderer go! Lord Aura."

"Lord Aura, actually..."

Ingrid wanted to speak up to defend Aoife, but was glared back by the blonde girl.

"Ingrid, don't make excuses for Aoife! Among the people Aoife let go was the murderer of your sister Lidrad."

Ingrid moved his lips, but finally chose to remain silent.

This is a fact.

This is a fact that Inglit cannot avoid.

But if Aoife had not confronted those people with the detonator, they would probably have been killed by the sword of that terrible woman just like Lidrad and Daniel.

"Don't be so harsh, Miss Aura. Aofie did what he could."

At this time, a blond man with extraordinary demeanor stepped out from the broken corridor and came in front of Ola, Aofei and others.

"Embrio. Did you find anything? Who invaded here?"

When Ola saw Embrio coming, he retracted his anger and gradually regained his composure.

Faced with Ola's question, Embrio looked embarrassed.

"Although I really want to bring you a surprise, unfortunately, the other party's methods are indeed amazing. The entire invasion process was flawless, and there was no leakage of any information or traces."

"I heard that there are highly skilled hackers among them? In a short period of time, they breached the institute's network defenses, cracked the defenses here, and disrupted external communications."

"Yes, that's true. Moreover, the woman that Orfei and the others mentioned is even more amazing. She was able to destroy my Ragna-mail with just a long sword."

"A long sword? Destroyed the Ragna-mail you created, Embrio? How is that possible?"

Ola was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what Embrio said.

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's the truth."

Embrio shook his head and sighed.

"Besides, it also brought back some unpleasant memories."

"Do you know that woman?"

Ola keenly grasped the key.

"How is it possible? Those unpleasant memories were not caused by that woman. They were caused by some beastly things. If those things appeared here, this research institute, no, or even this colony satellite, would not be so peaceful."

Ola noticed the resentment that Embrio unconsciously revealed as he spoke.

"What on earth could have caused Embrio, who has always seemed to be in control of everything since he appeared in front of her, to show such an expression?"

The next second, Embrio smiled gently and kindly again.

"Let's not talk about those discouraging words. Let's sort out the information we know so far!"

"From the situation at the research institute and the various dark outposts outside, the hackers they have have superb hacking skills that we can't imagine. Therefore, we have to accept that they have left April City without us noticing."

Embrio gestured.

"Without anyone knowing, 31 councillors were taken away from April City. Judging from the time, the other party may have been close to Yakin Duwei."

Ola frowned.

"What should we do? Let those councillors leave and wait for them to jump out at some point and expose the tricks we are playing in the Council and within ZAFT?"

Embrio smiled and bowed slightly to Aura.

"Don't worry, beautiful Aura. I don't want to see you worried, so just now I have mobilized the fleets I can control to conduct a large-scale survey of the routes where invaders may be found."

"What? Embrio, if you do this, you will be exposed to Patrick Sala's sight."

Ola was happy at first, but then became worried.

Even though Aura and Embrio's gang used certain means to replace the prince with a cat and eliminated Siegel Klein, a dangerous factor who was very likely to see through the fake Lacus Klein, Aura would not be able to keep it secret forever.

Especially now that Aslan Sala has become the head of the Klein family, the fake Lacus Klein may be discovered by Patrick Sala at any time.

"Well, but there's not much risk on Patrick Sara's side compared to letting those congressmen leave."

In fact, is it really so?
Sara's house. After hearing the news, Aslan Sara hurriedly left "Lacus Klein" and rushed home at full speed. As he walked into the hall under the guidance of the servant, he was shocked to see his father, the iron-blooded man Patrick Sara, bending over, holding a towel, and gently wiping the side of the face of the woman lying in the coffin.

Aslan Sara kept gasping for breath, his eyes slowly moving along the coffin, finally falling at Patrick Sara's feet.

He found what seemed to be some burnt fragments at the feet of his father, Patrick Sala.

"Aslan, are you back?"

Patrick Sara took back the towel, returned to his chair and looked up at his son who was panting.

"Father, that's... Mother?"

Aslan Zala could hardly believe his eyes.

That was a scene that I had seen countless times in my dreams since the Bloody Valentine incident, but it could never come true in reality.

Patrick Sala gave a gentle smile and nodded slightly.

"Aslan, there are some burnt debris on the ground. You come and deal with it! Lenoir likes cleanliness."

Aslan Sala opened his mouth, pressed his heaving chest, and finally nodded. He picked up the cleaning tools himself, and according to what Patrick Sala said, he cleaned up all the debris at Patrick Sala's feet and around the coffin, and crushed it further. Finally, he poured it into the living room, kitchen, and room, and even flushed some of the debris into the sewer.

After doing all this, Aslan Sara returned to the hall, stood next to Patrick Sara, and looked at the woman sleeping quietly in the coffin - his mother, Lenoir Sara.

"When she was first sent back, I thought Renoir had really come back. But after I carefully touched and felt Renoir's face, I realized that Renoir had really left me, left us."

"Father. Mother..."

Aslan Zala looked at his mother, whose face was as beautiful as in his memory but who was sleeping forever in the coffin, and he didn't know how to comfort his father.

Patrick Sala shook his head and sighed softly.

"Aslan. Lenoir has not left us."

"Father."

Aslan opened his mouth, but finally nodded.

"Aslan, do you like Lacus Klein? Do you like the current Lacus?"

Suddenly, Patrick Sala asked a question that made Aslan stunned.

"Father. Why do you ask that?"

Aslan's eyes fell on his mother's face.

Could it be that the pile of burnt debris at Patrick Sarah's feet just now was his mother's last words?

"You can only answer this question in front of me, your mother, and that's all."

Aslan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke slowly.

"In fact, at first I just thought that Lux Klein was just my fiancée, and I should fulfill my responsibilities as a fiancée and love and take care of her. But in fact, Lux Klein made me feel a little at a loss during the process of getting along with her."

"is it?"

Patrick Sarah nodded slightly, without objecting or scolding Aslan for being ungrateful.

Such an attitude undoubtedly gave Aslan courage.

"But after that incident, when I personally greeted Lux ​​once again as her fiancé, I found that Lux Klein had changed."

"Changed? In what aspect?"

"Hmm? Gentle? Or considerate? Or maybe it's as if the Lacus Klein who used to make me feel at a loss has disappeared, and she has become the weak yet strong and considerate Lacus Klein now."

"Really? That's good then."

Patrick Sarah suddenly laughed a few times, which scared Aslan.

Patrick Sarah stood up, turned around, raised his hand and patted Aslan on the shoulder.

"Aslan, now that Renoa is back, you should go and bring Lacus Clyne home! We haven't been together as a family for a long time."

"Father? But, but mother?"

Patrick Sarah laughed.

"If this is the Lacus Clyne you think she is, she will definitely accept Renoya."

After saying this, Patrick Sarah lowered his head and gazed affectionately at his wife who was falling into eternal sleep.

"I'll be back soon! Wait for me, Lenoir."

"Father, where are you going?"

"Meet the people who let 'Lacus Clyne' come to our house!"
