Puppeteer [Interstellar]

"I think you must have forgotten something important."

Lyle was talking very leisurely. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and put it on Scar's shoulder next to him. He leaned softly on Scar's body and was half-armed by Scar. He didn't pay attention to himself at all. Looking at the people in front of him with a smile, he said, "Rain is dead. Before he died, he said that he would pass on the position of heir to me, so I am now the head of the Hawke family!"

"Since I am the head of the family." Lyle shrugged and spread his hands, "Then no matter what I want to do to this family, you should follow me and obey my wishes, right?"

Shelia next to her was choked by Daryl and completely speechless. She struggled for a long time but no one dared to come to help her. The soldiers pointed their guns at everyone. This blatant threat of persecution made everyone silent for a while. They are very typical characters who bully the weak and fear the hard. Lyle's attitude is so tough, no one dares to resist, and they all start to act according to Lyle's request.

According to Lyle's order, the subordinates who used to serve under Lei Yin came out of the crowd one after another. These people were basically soldiers who had gone through fire and water for Lei Yin, but most of them were not military officers. Although the civilian officers in the army do not have outstanding combat effectiveness, all aspects of civilian employment are also very important resources. This is why Rein will take such a group of people into his family as "clan members".

This group of people is very important, much more important than those parasites in the family, Lyle felt that he could find a way to control them and let them provide assistance to Lyle.

After distinguishing these useful resources from the remaining group of useless things, Lyle looked at the remaining group of people. These remaining people were either "hostages" from other families, or Either it is the family members of Rain's subordinates, or so many people form such a huge team of the Hawke family, and now only Lyle is left with the real blood connection with the Hawke family.

To be honest, looking at those people who have ridiculed and ignored him before, looking at his expression with a disheveled face, Lyle's mood is inexplicably good, and when he is in a good mood, he can't help but go to Scar's arms next to him. Crap, his actions were too daring and arrogant, even Clarence, who came to watch the show, couldn't stand it anymore.

The old man came over, walked to Lyle's side, and grabbed Lyle's collar.Although this old man is old, he still has such terrifying strength that he lifted Lyle up with one hand!Lyall was dumbfounded when he was picked up, and could only look at Clarence in shock.

Clarence stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, pretended to cough twice, and said to Lyle seriously: "Do business for me, pay attention to the image!"

Lyle rolled his eyes at him.

Forced to separate from Scar, Lyle felt upset, walked to Daryl's side, and looked at Shelia who was still being strangled by Daryl.

Darryl didn't really strangle her neck very hard, but it was still torture for a fragile lady, but she couldn't get away from Darryl's hand, and she couldn't scream or cry out, seeing When Lyle came over, the woman stared at Lyle with vicious eyes.

"Darryl, let her go," Lyle ordered.

Daryl glanced back at Lyle, nodded slightly, took a step back, and let go of Shelia's neck. Shelia suddenly collapsed and knelt down on the ground. She rubbed her neck and coughed twice. He raised his head again and looked at Lyall with resentment.

Shelia's voice was hoarse, full of sneers at Lyle: "You killed my son...do you even want to kill me now?"

Lai paused, then smiled again. He walked up to Shelia and squatted down. He stretched out his hand and hooked the chestnut hair scattered on Shelia's chest with his fingers, and played with his fingertips. This woman originally had her hair tied. , all her hair was combed back and tied into a dignified hairstyle, but because of the struggle just now, her hair was all messed up and scattered everywhere.

The action of playing with Shelia's hair made Lyle look a little frivolous, like an unscrupulous gangster who molests good women, and he also grinned at Shelia.

He squinted his eyes to observe Shelia's face, and said to her: "You really look like Al... Oh, no, it should be said that Al looks like you."

"I really don't understand, how can such a vicious old witch like you give birth to such a child?" Lyle's tone was low, almost ringing in Shelia's ear: "Al is almost like an angel, he is really Too innocent, how did you teach him to be like that?"

Xie Liya didn't speak, she didn't understand the meaning of Lyle's words for a while.

Lyle didn't expect her to answer, Lyle just grinned: "Yes, it's because you taught him that, that's why he died. It's all your fault, Shelia, it's all your fault."

"But you can rest assured that I will not kill you." Lyle said, "I will let you live well, in this Hawk family, and live forever."

Shelia stared at Lyle, her eyes wide open, her pupils light, the sort of greenish irises Al had inherited from her, his eyes almost identical to his mother's.Lyle didn't want to see these eyes, which would remind Lyle of the scene of Al's death, which would make Al's mood churn and make him feel painful.

But Xie Liya would not know Lyle's pain, she still stared at Lyle with wide eyes, maybe she realized that Lyle was distracted, so at that moment, this woman did the most daring thing in her life, She did not know where to take out a short knife, and aimed at Lyle who was close at hand, and slashed towards Lyle's face.

The most daring and stupidest thing ever.

Lyle shrank his pupils slightly at that moment, and still stared at Xie Liya intently. Before Xie Liya's knife was stabbed, she felt a sudden sharp and piercing pain in her head, which made her unable to even hold the knife. Immediately fell to the ground holding his head and screaming.

"You shouldn't be here." Lyle reached out to pick up the short knife she had dropped on the ground, and played with it casually.

"After you hear the news that Rain and Al are dead, you should leave here. At least after you leave, I won't trouble you, because you are Al's mother." Lai Er said, "But you stayed and you didn't leave... That would be too bad. I will take good care of you instead of Al. I will repay everything you have done to him before."

After Lyle finished speaking, he turned to Daryl next to him and said, "Our beautiful lady doesn't look very well, please ask someone to take her back to her room."

Adjutant Daryl nodded and complied with Lyle's request, and went back to find the old housekeeper in the family, so the housekeeper directed the servants to lift Shelia up and carry her away. When Shelia was lifted up, her headache seemed to be relieved She didn't continue to struggle or scream, but she suddenly seemed to realize something. When the servant dragged her past Lyle, she spoke to Lyle in a voice that was just right for Lyle to hear. Al said:

"You look more and more like Rain."

Lai paused for a moment, but did not reply. It was not until Xie Liya was dragged far away that he replied as if talking to himself: "Probably."

The thing he was most afraid of, the thing he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, happened to him step by step. No matter how Lyle struggled, the hand of fate still pushed him forward, on the established route...forward.

He cannot retreat, only forward.

Not to mention fear or panic, Lyle is very calm now, he is no longer as scared as before, and his attitude towards the future and everything in this world has become calmer.

If this is growth...then, the price to pay is really too heavy.

……

Almost within a day of returning to the Hawke family, Lyle controlled everyone in the family. As for the grand banquet held by the family to clean up the dust, he directly canceled it. Afterwards, Lyle directly I took Clarence and Daryl to Rein's previous study. The room was well soundproofed and had some anti-reconnaissance equipment, so Lyle could talk to Clarence and others about some more confidential matters.

"I told you about the queen before." Lyle didn't want to talk nonsense, so he decided to get straight to the point and said, "I want to bring them back."

"You mean the people on Earth?" Clarence asked.

Lyle nodded: "Yes, there are also those so-called 'refugees'. To be honest, I am even more willing to believe in those who left the army than those in the alliance."

"I see," Clarence said.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Daryl, and said to him: "You should have this authority, let the troops stationed on Earth retreat now, is that okay?"

"Yeah, but doesn't that require asking the coalition president's side?" Daryl said.

"Oh, it doesn't matter what the president is now." Clarence smiled heroically, and after he finished laughing, he squinted his eyes and looked at Daryl, "We will do everything we can to get Lyle to the highest position in the league, that is, The presidency, and it has to be done within a month."

Daryl doesn't doubt whether Lyle can take this position. For him, as long as his loyal master wants to do it, then he will go all out to help Lyle climb the heights, but he is still full of doubts , even though he knew that as an adjutant, he shouldn't talk too much.

But he still put forward his own opinion: "Is one month too fast? No, I mean... at least we need to get the support of more than half of the powerful families in the entire alliance. Afterwards, the status of the Hawke family will definitely be shaken and declined, and other families may not support us unconditionally like Rain is alive."

"Then use violent and direct means to get them to support." Lyle interjected beside him, smiling maliciously.
