Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 799 08.798: "It's you! Chu Yunfei of the Empire!"

"Who? It can't be the missing Admiral Speyer."

Horatio raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips and made a harmless joke, but his sharp eyes searched for clues on her face which was slightly lit up with excitement.

"Who exactly is it? I have to keep it a secret from you now!"

Farida playfully blinked her bright eyes under her long eyelashes, and her voice was filled with a hint of mysterious pride, "But I can tell you that he is also a hero famous throughout the empire, just like you! Now he is a famous and popular figure!

Each of us has heard of his incredible and glorious deeds to some extent!"

As she spoke, she shook Horatio's arm a little in excitement.

The playful smile on Horatio's lips deepened a little. He leisurely examined Farida's cute expression, which was both proud and trying hard to hold back more information, and he had some calculations in his mind.

If he really was a person of rising fame within the navy, especially one who had reached the level of "hero", given his status and authority as the captain of the Supreme Lord of the Imperial Navy, he should have heard of him long ago.

Then, this person definitely does not belong to the navy system.

How did Farida get the information? Her sources... Horatio's thoughts raced. Could it be through the network of contacts left by her father, the equally meritorious Admiral Hood? Or her own active social circle, those relationships that occasionally intersect with the administrative department of the Planetary Governor's Office, or even... the more secretive Military Supervisory Department? Yes, it is not impossible.

A "household name" "hero", most likely related to the Military Supervision Department... and active in the "present", active at the end of this bloody and turbulent 41st millennium...

He slowly took a breath of the air with a faint floral scent in the room, and his brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Countless clues were quickly connected and screened in his experienced brain like routes on a star map. In the end, all possibilities pointed to a somewhat unexpected name.

Wait, is the person Farida was talking about...really...that person?

A vague image of a man who was forced to become famous for his outstanding military exploits and legendary experiences rather than his own will gradually became clear in his mind. He was a legendary figure who always wore an impeccable black uniform, with a bit of reluctant heroism between his eyebrows, but could always miraculously turn danger into safety in the most desperate dangers.

Finally, a face with a hint of helplessness and a signature self-deprecating smile, vaguely resembling Captain Chu Yunfei, froze in front of him.

("Brother Yunlong, my Xiliang Army has just received a batch of Martian equipment!")
puff!
It was a mixture of sudden enlightenment and a mixture of laughter and tears.

There was undisguised surprise in his eyes. He turned his head abruptly, his eyes fixed on Farida's face which was slightly expectant, his expression full of disbelief.

"Hmm? Did you guess it?" Seeing his expression change drastically, Farida couldn't help but pout her lips playfully, and whispered with a hint of annoyance, "Oh, it seems that I gave too many clues."

"This 'great hero of the empire' you mentioned, the current 'big shot'..."

Horatio's voice was filled with a hint of caution before confirmation. He spoke slowly and asked word by word, "Could it be... Military Supervisor Caiaphas Kane?"

"Yes! It's him, dear!"

The smile on Farida's face was as bright as a blooming rose, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "As one of the three legendary military supervisors of the empire, Military Supervisor Caiface Kane has now retired with honor.

I heard that he is currently teaching at Perlia Academy, not far from the Valhalla system, and is occasionally invited to attend and give speeches at important celebrations on planets. This time he will represent Perlia Academy to give a celebratory speech at Abridal Academy! "I will definitely be there!"

Horatio responded almost immediately. He reached out and grasped Farida's soft, white hand, with anticipation in his tone and eyes.

"Huh?" Farida was slightly startled by his sudden change and serious expression, and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Horatio leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on little Horace's smooth forehead, then gently scratched the baby's tender cheek with his fingertips, whispered a few private words between father and son, then stood up and strode to the door.

"In order to be able to attend the school celebration in a decent manner, I have to go and get some suitable uniforms tailored as soon as possible, dear.

With my current body shape, I am afraid that my old military uniform will not fit me anymore."

When he reached the door, he turned back to Farida and said, "My dear, I have been invited to dinner at the residence of Major General Edward Peru tonight."

"Well, be careful on the road and don't drink too much~"

Farida smiled at him with a barely perceptible reluctance, and waved her slender fingers nimbly in the air like a butterfly's wings bidding farewell.

"Of course. See you later." Horatio blew her a kiss with a smile, then turned around and strode out of the warm mansion with steady and vigorous steps, as decisively as he came.

He got into his own black streamlined car and the door closed silently.

He succinctly instructed the driver in a neat uniform: "Go to Savile & Huntman, a high-end tailor shop."

"Yes, sir." The driver responded and the vehicle drove away smoothly.
-
The brass nameplate of the high-end tailor shop 'Savile & Huntman' sparkled in the afternoon sun, and the shop was bustling with people at the moment.

This shop is located in the prosperous Throne District, the core of the Hive City. The pedestrian street outside the door is crowded with people. Countless well-dressed ladies and gentlemen with sophisticated tastes always stop or push the door to go in when passing by this prestigious tailor shop to appreciate the latest fashion trends and classic styles.

The air in the store is filled with the unique fragrance of high-quality fur and silk and a faint scent of cigars.

When the black car, which symbolized the status of a senior official of the Admiralty, stopped smoothly in front of the store, a gentleman with a well-groomed moustache and a sophisticated vest immediately noticed it keenly.

He quickly signaled to a young clerk to take over the high-quality silk material he was showing to a female customer in luxurious clothes, and he put on an attentive smile and almost trotted over to greet her.

He opened the heavy door for Horatio himself before the driver could.

"Oh, I didn't expect Lord Cochrane to come so early! I thought you would come here when you have some free time after dealing with military affairs..."

Compared to the embarrassment of the first time, this time Mr. Huntman was so skilled that it was heartbreaking.

However, when Horatio stepped out of the car door and his tall and sturdy body was fully revealed in front of the store owner, his figure almost blocked most of the sunlight coming in from the door, causing the store owner to pause involuntarily in the second half of his flattering words.
