He quickly scrolled down again and found some of Qin Chu's mission records below.
However, this is limited to the last two years. Most of the records only include the time and code name, with only some details of the injuries being recorded.
Levi shouldn't have been interested in such dry stuff, but he read through it all.
This General Qin seems to be quite capable, as he hasn't been injured much, and even if he has, it's only been minor.
I quickly scrolled to the bottom of the page.
Levy was actually quite curious as to why Qin Chu, who should have been staying in the outer reaches of interstellar space, had come to the capital planet at this time and even entered a sleep pod.
He wanted to check out Qin Chu's last mission, but when he scrolled to the end, he found that the last mission had no code, and the mission description was just a string of gibberish.
Frowning, Levy copied the document and left the hospital.
The next morning, Camin woke up at the Royal Palace and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast there.
The old butler is setting the table.
"Did you sleep well, Mr. Camin?" The butler bowed to Camin.
"That's good," Camin thought. It would be even better if no one dragged him out of bed in the middle of the night. He glanced at the butler and asked, "Did you just get back to the capital today? Aren't you going to rest?"
A few days ago, Levi was in a hurry to return from the junk planet, as the old butler's body couldn't withstand multiple jumps.
Levi wasn't the type to consider other people's feelings. At the time, Camin thought Levi would ignore the old butler's health condition, but unexpectedly, Levi took a different approach and placed the butler on a nearby planet.
"I traveled slowly back, and I rested enough along the way," the butler said with a smile, then asked, "Has Your Highness not returned from the hospital yet?"
“They went back, but they sent the wrong person again. They’re angry about it right now,” Camin whispered.
Just then, the restaurant door was pushed open, and Levy entered, bringing with him the morning chill. He sat down at the table without a word, picked up a knife, and began to eat.
He was clearly in a bad mood, but the old butler kindly didn't ask him anything.
Kamin didn't say a word, and slowly shrank under the table.
However, some people were oblivious to the situation, and soon someone from the cabinet delivered another message: "Your Highness Levy, you must attend the meeting three days from now. This is the military..."
"I'm not going, get out."
Before the visitor could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Levi and kicked, sending him tumbling.
Levi continued eating at the table, but Cumming couldn't sit still any longer. He chuckled twice and asked the old butler, "What kind of meeting is this at a time like this? Can we even get everyone together?"
"It seems to be a very important meeting, initiated by General Qin Chu," the butler replied.
With a "squeak," the knife scraped against the porcelain plate, making a jarring sound.
Levy raised an eyebrow and asked the butler, "Did Qin Chu initiate this? Has he woken up?"
“That’s right.” The butler nodded, then smiled with some delight. “The beast tide is coming soon. With General Qin around, we can feel more at ease.”
Levy remembered the drop of nutrient solution he had rubbed off at the bottom of the tower.
After asking that question, Levy didn't say anything more, eating his food while seemingly lost in thought.
In this atmosphere, Kamin was extremely uncomfortable, unsure whether to leave or stay.
When he thought of an excuse to get up and leave, he saw Levi across from him finish eating, throw down his knife, and lean back in his chair.
He picked up a napkin and casually wiped the corner of his mouth, then threw the napkin back onto the plate, making the old butler's eyes twitch.
Camin hesitated whether to stand up, when Levy suddenly spoke up: "There was someone who kept coming to see you, but he asked you to help him see another person who was in a coma. Later, the person who was in a coma woke up, and he stopped coming."
"What...do you mean by that?"
Levy's eyes were deep and somber.
When Kamin heard this, and thought about what had happened recently, his heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to answer.
The old butler wasn't so afraid of Levi, and even analyzed the situation seriously: "So this person came to you actually to save the person who was unconscious. Once the person wakes up, they naturally won't need to come to you anymore?"
Levi clicked his tongue and a smile crept across his lips.
But anyone with eyes can see that this is just joking.
Three days later.
After being empty for several months, the Joint Government Building has finally become lively again.
Due to the disruption of real-time communications, the preparation period for this joint meeting was unusually long. By the time the meeting began, most of the waking cabinet members and parliamentary members were already in the government building.
In addition, there were also some soldiers in civilian clothes, all of whom were from the military.
Levy yawned as he entered, just in time to run into Dodd, who was arriving with a long face.
Beside Dodd was a middle-aged man, even more bald than Dodd. Whether it was due to the heat or something else, this man had been sweating profusely since he entered, wiping the bald patch on the center of his head with a handkerchief until it shone brightly.
Upon seeing Levi, Dud immediately flashed behind him.
Although Levy was terrifying to him, he could sometimes be a reliable ally. Seeing Dud lean on him, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before also standing behind Levy.
"What are you doing here?" Levy glanced at Dud.
“Yeah, what am I here for…” Dudley said with a long face. “I didn’t want to come, but this meeting involves a vote, and the cabinet wants to maintain its majority, so they had no choice but to drag me here.”
Levy nodded, then glanced at Dodd's legs: "It's just a meeting, why are you shaking?"
“Because I’m now on the Cabinet’s side.” Dudley’s face grew even more bitter. “This meeting was convened by the military, and the military and the Cabinet have always been at odds. They’re bound to look down on us. Let me tell you, look at these military people. If they can’t reach an agreement and start fighting, how could we possibly win?”
As he spoke, Du Dechao smiled, his legs twitching.
Others certainly couldn't beat him, but Levy was a different story.
The elevator opened, and the group walked over.
Levy thought for a moment and then asked, "Why are the cabinet and the military at odds?"
“I don’t know about the other historical reasons, but I’ve heard that the biggest conflict seems to be money. Finances are controlled by the cabinet, and if the military wants funding, they have to ask the finance minister in the cabinet for allocations, and I guess the allocations aren’t very timely,” Dudley said.
Levy raised an eyebrow with interest, surprised that the military would make things difficult for him over money.
"The military's funding shortage was only in the past. I heard that things are different now that General Qin Chu has become the acting marshal," Du De said with a sigh.
Upon hearing the name Qin Chu again, Levi's lips curled into a rather interested smile.
The smile was actually a bit chilling, but Dudley didn't have Camin's ability to read people's expressions, so to ease the tension, he kept talking: "Just a few years ago, the cabinet's funding was delayed again. I heard that this General Qin Chu directly used the name of a friend to find two soldiers to bring the finance minister to their training ground."
"Huh? The cabinet isn't doing anything about it?" Levi was somewhat surprised, as this behavior seemed to contradict his impression of Qin Chu.
"How can we manage that! Qin Chu only let the finance minister watch a boxing match, he didn't drag him into the training ground to beat him up," Dudley said.
"And then?" Levy asked.
"Then... I heard that the finance minister ran out crying, and afterwards the military's funding was never delayed again." Dudley said with great emotion.
He turned his head and saw that the middle-aged man next to him was sweating even more.
"Hey bro, are you feeling a bit weak?" Dud greeted him. "Oh, and I haven't asked your name yet."
The middle-aged man gave a bleak smile: "I am Luke, the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
Dud: "..." No wonder he was so scared.
"Then... Your Highness, what brings you here?" Dud asked Levy again, who chuckled twice, "You don't seem to really enjoy meetings."
“Me?” Levi narrowed his eyes. “I’m here to see the person who initiated this meeting. I need someone.”
As they slowly stepped out of the elevator, a group of people walked down the corridor toward the conference room ahead.
Levi's identity was no secret, and people around him kept bowing and greeting him.
Levy ignored him and was pondering the matter of the man in black.
The man in black robes was probably Qin Chu's subordinate because Qin Chu had approached him.
This might sound a bit infuriating at first glance, but Levy didn't care much. Why this person approached him wasn't important; what mattered was that he was interested in this person and wanted to keep him close.
He had no interest in meetings; he came here specifically to ask Qin Chu for people.
If General Qin is willing to give it, all is well; if he's not, then we'll fight a battle and take him away.
With that thought in mind, Levy walked into the conference room.
As soon as he stepped inside, he paused for a moment.
The meeting room was already occupied.
All the military personnel sat neatly and uniformly on one side of the long conference table.
At the head of the long table, in the position of the acting marshal, sat an excessively young man.
He was wearing the same white service uniform as everyone else, but the white seemed to have a colder tone on him, making his dark eyebrows and eyes stand out even more.
The person was dressed entirely in black and white, exuding extreme indifference, except for the ends of their hair hanging down on their collar, which seemed to have a soft curve.
Levy had already followed the crowd into the conference room, but his gaze remained fixed on the first seat.
He couldn't help but raise his chin and ask Dodd, "Who is that?"
Dud didn't dare to look around, and whispered, "Of course it's Qin Chu!"
“Qin Chu…” Levi narrowed his eyes, seemingly puzzled, “Is Qin Chu that good-looking?”
Author's Note:
Before meeting Qin Chu, Levi said: "I've come to ask your Qin general for someone. If you don't give it to me, we'll fight."
Upon meeting Qin Chu, Levi said: "I've come to deliver someone to your Qin general. Yes, that's me. Don't want me? No problem, I'm tough, you can't get rid of me."
Chapter 138 The Fight Begins
Dud was so frightened that he reached out to cover Levy's mouth.
Is this something you can just say so casually?
While General Qin is indeed quite handsome, it's not fair to describe it as flirting!
Moreover, Levy made no attempt to lower his voice; it could be heard by most of the conference room. But Qin Chudu, sitting at the head of the table, dared not offend him, nor did he dare offend Levy standing beside him.
In the end, all they could do was plead with Levy to keep going.
Moreover, Dudley clearly sensed that while Levy was speaking, the person sitting at the head of the table, who had been sitting with his eyes down, seemed to glance in that direction.
