Chapter 477 The Past is Like Smoke
"Felix von Abenberg was the agent of Emperor Plato. Once the coup was successful, Gaia would become Plato. Those surrendered Plato who voluntarily surrendered to Gaia's army would inevitably be subject to a retaliatory purge."
After hearing Xuan Ji's words, Zimmerman's eyes finally changed. He sucked a few sips of smoke. The sparks between his fingers shone brightly in the room where shadows intertwined, like the wreckage of warships that burned on the interstellar battlefield.
"You know my past. No one knows this name in Gaia. I almost forgot myself. It's been twenty-four years..." He said in a low voice, slowly exhaling a breath of smoke, and the gray-white airflow churned in the glimmer of light.
Then, he quickly pressed and slapped half of the cigarette into the crystal ashtray on the floating sofa table.
"So, you defend us is defending yourself..." she persuaded calmly.
"Enough! If you hadn't called this name, you would have died long ago." A hint of impatientness flashed across Zimmerman's face, and he suddenly stood up, his strong muscles cast sharp light and shadows in the dark.
This is a command, an unquestionable terminator.
Xuan Ji stared at him in a daze, and a sense of unspeakable sadness surged in her heart. Time was too long, but he was still indifferent.
She seemed to have heard the roar from afar-
The cross cults shouted enthusiastically in the flames and smoke, "Avenge the brothers and sisters who ascend to heaven!" They waved their bloody flags and rushed towards the exploded gap in Manda'an Palace like a tide. The gunfire drew a hot track in the night, and the beam of laser bullets tore the air and exploded on the palace walls into a dazzling fireworks of death. The whole world was ignited.
"You are even more ruthless than the White Tiger Knight." Xuan Ji said softly, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.
She thought this sentence would not cause any disturbance, but Zimmerman paused slightly.
"The queen of the cult." His voice was still quiet, but less cold and hard. "If you weren't a little like a dragon, I would have no patience to listen to you whip my morality again."
Xuan Ji immediately caught his loosening and immediately took advantage of the situation to advance-
"As long as you promise to help the coalition government overcome difficulties, in addition to the rank of marshal, we can grant you sovereignty to the Remlia continent and all its islands. It is the most abundant and beautiful territory except the Titan continent. In addition, there are 20,000 tons of gold. The future coalition government's prominence will be chosen at your disposal."
Her eyes were burning, like a queen standing in front of the broken throne, promising her last bargaining chips.
"You have eight sons and six daughters." Her voice was low, but it had an unshakable force. "I promise you that these fourteen children will enjoy wealth forever."
Zimmerman raised his eyebrows slightly, and his three marriages brought him four publicly admitted children, but she revealed the real number.
"Now, you finally come back and beg me, are you?" His voice was filled with undisguised mockery, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was examining a belated joke, "No matter how much I sacrificed my life on the front line, you have never trusted us 'rebroken people'."
His eyes were as sharp as a blade, and every word exploded in Xuan Ji's ears like thunder.
"You let us charge into battle and make us bleed and sacrifice, but once the war is extinguished, we will become marginalized aliens and be regarded as tools that can be abandoned at any time.! The War Department threw me the most dangerous task and asked me to attack the Sumo satellite link - that is simply a death sentence!"
His voice suddenly rose, full of uncontrollable anger, "If it weren't for Ahil... you wouldn't have stood here and begged me! My subordinates and I had already been burned to ashes by the Platos!"
Xuan Ji was about to speak, but was interrupted roughly by him.
"I finally came back alive, but the War Department conducted endless investigations on me-" He narrowed his eyes, sneered, and spoke extremely sarcastic tone.
"Why didn't I die in Somo No. 8?"
"Why did Plato ship back to us?"
"They conducted military court interviews on me and asked me to write countless reports, but the investigation has not ended yet."
His fists were clenched and his knuckles turned white, as if those suffocating memories were still tormenting him.
"You guys have completely broken my life!"
His eyes were like a storm and blizzard, piercing towards Xuan Ji.
"After this tossing, my family fell apart, my wife and I divorced, women fought each other on the days when I left, "she" asked for "she" to have coffee, "she" showed photos to "she", "she" poured wine at "she" and "she" slapped her in the face, and they all thought they could get on the throne!"
"At the same time, the War Department is still investigating me, suspicion of me, and torture me."
"You guys have made my world in chaos!"
"Your government has offended everyone! Everyone is sitting on the verge of the demise of the coalition government..."
Xuan Ji looked at him quietly, and after a few seconds of silence, she whispered—
"Kumara of Gwyndo, like you, I am a Platon born in the 'Necart Ring'." Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a distant nebula reflected in her eyes. "It was because of fate that she became the queen of Gaia."
It was not until this time that Zimmerman looked at her carefully.
"We also want to end this universal democracy that caused chaos, end the chaotic party struggles, and release the 40 billion Gaians from this city, but..." Her voice was very soft, but there was a sense of firmness. "I am here to ask you to help you again. History chooses us, whether Gaia or Gaia will become better. If Von Abenberg came to power, I am afraid that Gaia will become Plato."
"Plato...why do you object to your father's country?" Zimmerman asked.
"I have no choice if Emperor Plato wants to kill me." Xuan Ji said calmly, she sensitively felt his attitude towards her change, "You are not the same, like me, being confined to Gaia's land."
