Cheng Moxuan was about to leave, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is your father?"

Claire smiled brightly, and the light brown hair protruding from the brim of the hat curled up in disobedience, shining under the artificial sun of Carodan.

"Father is father, but no one else in the family dares to call him like me. Everyone calls him Lord Duke."

Cheng Moxuan: "Admiral Edmund, who are you?"

Claire: "Ah, that's my uncle, but he's probably the only one in the family who doesn't like you, and whenever you're mentioned, he'll put you down to nothing with a vitriol."

"..."

Cheng Moxuan's face was as dark as ink, in stark contrast to the smiling Claire.

Although he was not surprised that Edmund would speak ill of him behind his back, when Edmund's family members said these words in such a comfortable tone, Cheng Moxuan's heart was complicated.

Not to mention this time, he will never go in his life!

"If you are worried about uncle, I will greet my family in advance."

"No, I—"

"Mephisto, I met Marshal Garfield! He is going to be a guest in the mansion."

Claire turned on the terminal in seconds to contact the family members. Cheng Moxuan's words of refusal poured down his throat, and he was forced to swallow them.

"I never said I was going."

Claire turned her head and continued to the communication interface: "Mephisto, Uncle is not dealing with His Excellency the Marshal, help me to see if he is at home... What? Uncle has already gone out with an appointment! That's great. We Coming soon!"

Cheng Moxuan opened his mouth halfway, hesitant to speak: "..."

Will this child listen to people?Also, is that what he's worried about? !

After all, he is a member of the Imperial family with a special background. If he goes, his relationship with Lanchester will be added!And even if he went, Edmund would know the news when he turned back. He couldn't guarantee that the person who looked at him inexplicably would not think about something.

Claire's one-sided words can't pose a threat at all, he can completely ignore this kid's tricks and turn around.

Then the next second, Clayfa received a text message.

"I received a message from Mephisto. As the owner of the house, on behalf of Avelonti, I welcome Marshal Garfield to visit the humble house."

Signed, Aberle Avellonti.

Cheng Moxuan: "..."

What kind of devil's reply speed is this? !Your family is all colluding in advance and premeditated!Why did the kid receive news from the Duke not long after the notification?The duke is too busy to take care of the kids running around? !

Cheng Moxuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and then quickly slapped that bastard on the forehead.

"As a nobleman, you must have noble upbringing. If you were to play such a clever trick in front of him, he might not be as tolerant as I am."

Claire cried in pain, although she didn't have a single tear.

Cheng Moxuan: Hmph, poor acting skills...

Of course, Cheng Moxuan hoped that this brat with strong self-awareness would heed the advice in his words.I don't know how Claire's character was created, Cheng Moxuan always felt that his brain circuit was clear, but he was not like those spoiled playboys in the upper class,

...is it a communication barrier?

Forget it, that’s it, just go and sit for a while, there is nothing to worry about when Edmund is not here, and try to get some useful information by the way, because they are the Imperial Clan after all, even if they fall, their contact surface Still far better than ordinary nobles.

However, fate made him a big joke...

The ancient steeple-roofed mansion still maintains a traditional style, but no matter how artistic the exterior and interior decoration is, it cannot conceal that this is a futuristic building from the interstellar era full of traces of technology.

Passing through the exaggeratedly large garden full of colorful plants, Cheng Moxuan was led by Claire and the mechanical butler to the interior of the house.

Although it was daytime, the rainy weather in Carodan made the interior very dimly lit.

The waiters and guides stepped on the long carpet with exquisite and complicated patterns, and the sensor lights that received the weight signal lit up.After a long time, the robot butler stopped in front of a tall and heavy wooden door, and bent down to signal the guests to enter.

Only now did Cheng Moxuan take a step forward, leading the optimistic young man who kept talking into the huge domed living room behind the door.

In front of the sofa made of high-quality materials, four imposing men raised their heads at the same time, and Cheng Moxuan's legs went limp on the spot with their sharp, probing gazes.

This!This is!

Serret, Sheridan, Edmund, and the SSS-level mech pilot of the Douglas family, Loria, who was only seen in the archives!

Bauhinia, Hausman, Avelonti and Douglas, why did these guys suddenly appear in this house!

Were they really premeditated? !

Claire seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Wow, so there are already so many guests today?"

No one spoke, except for Sheridan, the other three still stared at Cheng Moxuan with a cannibalistic look.

Although Sheridan is basically the same as them, but because Cheng Moxuan is familiar with his private contrast, relatively speaking, Sheridan is not bad.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, I'm sorry." After some secret guessing, Sheridan was the first to get up to say hello.

Afterwards, Salet and Loria, who met for the first time, also naturally saluted and greeted.

Loria looked at the man who walked in quite unexpectedly, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and then he looked at the owner here, that is, the man in the deepest city.

The strangeness in Edmund's eyes only existed for a moment, and no one noticed the emotional fluctuations in his heart when he saw Cheng Moxuan.

Sheridan abided by the etiquette of guests, so after seeing who was coming, he sat down quietly with his eyes closed.He only came here because he was worried, and the head of state sent him to follow Loria, and he didn't know what the purpose was.

But the Head of State made a promise to Sheridan, so while enjoying a good salary, he didn't mind earning more favors in his spare time.

Since Serlet lost to Cheng Moxuan due to carelessness, he rarely showed up. It is said that he was introspecting himself. When he ran into the other three, he didn't think much about it. He just came over to join in the fun.Unexpectedly, he could still see the Marshal in Avelonti's mansion.

He folded his hands on his chest, crossed his legs, and frowned, all kinds of conjectures quickly slipping through his mind.

The few of them gathered here, two by chance and two by premeditation.

Edmund remained silent for a long time, Cheng Moxuan didn't want to look at the things in his eyes.

Cheng Moxuan wanted to beat up that brat, did he agree that Edmund wasn't there? !Not only was he there, but he also brought three surprises by his side. From his posture, he could tell that they were discussing some important matters in secret. It's no wonder he broke in rashly now, so he wouldn't be regarded as a spoiler!

But how did they get together!

"It seems that I disturbed everyone's interest, even the master doesn't welcome me."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Moxuan turned around and left.To be honest is still fatal, of course it is fatal to choose one!The duke doesn't care about such trivial matters!And with so many people around, Edmond shouldn't do anything to him.

But things have come to this, some people will not let him go so easily.

"What is your Excellency Marshal doing in such a hurry? I was just flattered by your arrival, and I didn't have time to react."

Edmund raised his chin, looking just like his image in the outside world, rigid and serious.

However, Cheng Moxuan had already seen Edmund who had taken off his disguise, so ghosts would believe his words.

"Not yet, I think it's probably not a coincidence that you gathered here."

Sheridan: "Only Executive Douglas and Admiral Edmund have something to discuss. I was just sent by the head of state to help Douglas's chief increase the momentum of the negotiation."

Loria smiled and said, "Mr. Sheridan has learned how to joke. It seems that you have met a lot of interesting people recently."

Sheridan declined to comment.

Sallet shrugged and said, "I just happened to see the three of them, and I feel uncomfortable being excluded if I don't follow them."

Cheng Moxuan: So you helped them gather a table of mahjong, and by the way, made things difficult for the two who were talking about business?

Edmund didn't care about this. He didn't mean to be angry. He just stared at Cheng Moxuan and pressed him step by step: "Then, what is your purpose for coming here?"

Claire is a person who can judge the timing. He found the right words, and continued: "Uncle, Your Excellency the Marshal was invited by me, and I told Mephisto!"

"Mephisto?"

The malice that had just surged in Edmund's eyes calmed down quietly. He seemed puzzled, and then he hid his emotions and said, "What reason do you use to invite someone to move?"

Facing Edmund, Claire was not timid at all, and his words were even more confident: "I told you that you are not at home, so you can come over secretly to play."

The expressions of the five adults at that time were like this, with half of their faces darkened, and then fell silent...

Should we say childlike or bold?Although the statement seems reasonable, this high-sounding reason is too childish.

Edmund said in a deep voice, "Claire!"

Claire shook her legs, grabbed the doorknob and ran away in a blink of an eye, leaving behind Cheng Moxuan who was alone and didn't know his way.

Cheng Moxuan: "..."

Edmund: "Did you hear any rumors? I specially chose to come here at this time."

Cheng Moxuan: "Didn't you hear clearly just now? You guys invited me over. Since the master is busy, it's understandable for me to avoid it for a while."

Edmund: "Actually, it's nothing important. You can listen in if you want."

Cheng Moxuan: "It's better, I'm not interested in your affairs."

Serlet observed the strange atmosphere on both sides, and frowned even tighter.

"Or... If you don't want to stay here, I will accompany you to the garden for a while. And you can continue, don't worry about us."

Edmund glanced at him, and then said: "Since Bauhinia is willing to do this, of course I don't mind, but the premise is that the Marshal accepts your invitation."

Cheng Moxuan said decisively, "Let's go to the garden."

Sallet: "..."

However, three seconds later, a series of warning sounds appeared in the living room.

The biological detector hanging on Cheng Moxuan's waist suddenly rang.

All four looked at him suspiciously.

Cheng Moxuan was startled: No way...
