Chapter 164: Richard's story

"Estil, Joshua. It seems that I have remembered your names... Hehe..." He smiled politely, sitting on the soft sofa in the rest area on the second floor, smelling the coffee cup in front of him. With the mellow scent wafting, Richard rubbed his hands, his tone relaxed and casual.
"Ah...haha...yeah..." The man behind the scenes, who had been investigating secretly, sat in front of him, making Esther unavoidably messy, but Joshua, who sensed the strangeness of his companion, immediately spoke up and attracted Richard's attention: "Yes, the last time I met was after Mayor Delmon was arrested... I didn't expect a busy person like the Colonel to still miss us."
"Yeah... It's possible that this martial arts conference was soaked by Mr. Jin's light, and it might remind the colonel of us again." Although Estier was a little slow in his reaction, he was not a fool, and quickly adjusted his mentality. She also started a Tai Chi Conversation with a push of two, five and six.
"Don't say that. Although you meet very few times, but you are so young but with strong talents and mobility, I can't help but secretly investigate you... The result really surprised me. I didn't expect you to be a card. The child of Colonel Sius."
"It's the Intelligence Department, I even know this..." Joshua exclaimed on the surface, but thought in his heart, it should be easy to find the answer with the surname of Bright as a clue.
"Haha, the Intelligence Department is not an understatement." Richard just calmly accepted Joshua's praise, "... Colonel Cassius gave me a lot of care when he was in the army. Because of this... I really can't express my gratitude in words."
"Yeah. Father is also our pride, and the colonel can now become the only soldier, he must be very pleased." Joshua responded freely.
"When I first met Colonel Cassius, I was just a student who just graduated from the noncommissioned school." Leaning peacefully on the soft sofa cushion, Richard's voice was suddenly full of vicissitudes and memories. "After joining the Kingdom Army, I was assigned to the independent mobile unit under his leadership... From then on, until the time he retired, I was taken care of by him in all aspects of work and life. And..."
Halfway through, Richard stopped talking and took a sip of coffee. The teenagers and girls who seemed a little nervous did not ask, waiting for him to continue.
"And... it was him who discovered my talents in intelligence detection and resisted public opinion, helping me to form the intelligence department that was just starting at the time and had nothing..." Richard looked a little sad.
"Excuse me... In your mind, Colonel, what kind of person is your father?" There is no other meaning, Estelle is purely on a whim, wanting to hear what the biggest enemy in her own eyes is about being with her since childhood. When he got older, he actually knew little about his father.
"It is a superb skill that can not be overstated as a "Juggernaut"... It can respond flexibly to any battle situation and has a three-dimensional all-round command ability... And not only has a variety of tactics, but also has the superb commanding force Strategic ability..." Richard’s tone was filled with a sense of admiration and pain. "To describe it in one word, it’s a "hero." And he retired soon after the war. , Even rejected the medal awarded by Her Majesty the Queen, and kept the world from knowing its prestige...So far, among some soldiers, the name of Colonel Cassius has been synonymous with heroes."
"That stingy dad...he never mentioned these things to me!" Estil, who was dumbfounded, only said such a word when he recovered.
"What I told you specifically will definitely be treated as bragging and fooled by you..." Joshua sighed.
"What... It's..." Estel said depressed, and suddenly remembered something: "...Speaking of which, Joshua, you don't seem to be surprised. Could it be..."
"... Colonel Richard was once a subordinate of his father. I really don't know about that... But the other content, I know it's a good idea."
"...Joshua is also a traitor..." Estelle lowered her head, like a frustrated ball.
"It's so ugly to say..." Joshua smacked, "I learned from other sources, not my father who told me... and my father didn't need to tell us these things specifically. Besides, Lian Hai Liga, they all know these deeds of father, you don't even know..."
"Haha..." Richard's untimely smile interrupted the long verbal confrontation between Esther and Joshua. Esther's cheeks turned red, "I'm sorry... I interrupted you... "
"Where... I feel a little relieved to see you like this." Richard smiled and waved his hand, saying that he was okay. "When Colonel Cassius was about to retire, I used to try my best to keep him. But now it seems that perhaps his choice at the time was the most correct. With you by your side, the pain of losing your wife...will definitely gradually ease."
"Thank you for saying that, Colonel." After looking at Richard's eyes for a long time, Esther and Joshua said in unison.
"Then, thank you for chatting with me." Richard stood up, the coffee in front of him was almost cold, "The Lord Duke is still waiting for me, I will leave first...Oh yes..." Richard, who was about to step out of the rest area, suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"Is there anything else?" Estill, who had just secretly breathed a sigh of relief, who had thought that Richard would leave, was taken aback by the sudden change.
"Haha...nothing, nothing." Richard smiled, "I just want to ask something, about the imperial friend you mentioned just now..."
-
"Is that person really Colonel Richard?" Esther, who left the rest area and started looking for Mrs. Hildan, whispered, "How can I put it... it's different from the previous impression. He did." Admiringly talked about Dad's past..."
"Information experts like him, it is easy to deceive a child like us. The defensive heart is indispensable." Joshua shook his head helplessly. Estir's problem of being easily deceived has never been changed. .
"You, are you sure what you said just now is not exaggerated?" Estil said unconvinced.
"You just need to trust your own instincts." Joshua suddenly said seriously.
"I think so too. As long as Estiel keeps this momentum and rushes forward, there is no need to think so much."
"That's right... wait!" Suddenly he heard a completely unfamiliar and somewhat familiar voice, and Joshua suddenly became nervous, "Who!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, your own person... This broken helmet made my voice completely changed." A secret agent came from a secret compartment in the rest area, trying to take off every secret agent wearing it. Half-covered visor. And as the heavy, pitch-black armor was gradually unraveled, the silver hair of the voice owner became more dazzling.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet here." Looking at the dumbfounded two, Heliga smiled satisfied.
"It's been a long time, the two... said, it didn't take long."
