Chapter 228: Meet the Father-in-Law

Remember for a second

In a hotel room somewhere in Darkmoon City, Chen Rui stood restrained. Opposite him is a man of medium stature, about thirty-four years old, with angular facial features and a high brow bone, showing a tenacious and serious aura.

"You are Chen Rui?" The man's voice was strong and powerful, revealing a faint deterrent.

Chen Rui quickly replied: "Yes, Your Excellency General."

This man is Athena's father, the first general of the empire, George Wells, the "father-in-law" that Chen Rui wants to meet this time.

It was a little different from what Chen Rui imagined. When General George saw him, he didn't rush up and shout to kill him. Instead, he looked up and down carefully with his scrutinizing eyes, which made a certain son-in-law a little hairy.

A certain son-in-law bravely opened his eyes of analysis: Race: Great Demon (mutation), Comprehensive Strength Assessment: No judgment.

The power of no judgment! Magic Emperor? Demon Emperor? Chen Rui was taken aback, and estimated that the possibility of a demon emperor is relatively high. His father-in-law is worthy of being the first general of the empire. He has cultivated to the realm of demon emperor as a great demon.

If you really play with your hands, Pagliu has just broken free from the lock of light and darkness. It is only the first stage of the Demon Sovereign, and it may not be able to win. Do you want to try it with poison? Having said that, once the poison has three strengths and two weaknesses, then Athena and Athena are not lovers, but enemies.

Just when Chen Rui was thinking nervously, his father-in-law spoke up.

"I have a few questions for you to answer. The first question is." George's eyes fell on the people behind Chen Rui, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by bringing these people? "

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Lomon took a clever step forward and bowed: "Your Excellency General, do you still remember Lomon and Delia in Black Cloud Town three years ago? We were Athena's good friends. I learned that the general was here today, and came to thank him specially for his help and care.”

George nodded, and Royce responded quickly, and said quickly, "The three of us are the direct subordinates of Lord Athena, and we have long admired the reputation of the general, so we made a special trip to see you."

Athena is already the first hostess for sure, and the so-called "direct subordinate" is also worthy of the name.

George looked at the Royce trio and didn't say much, Pagliu didn't talk so well, and said in a big way: "You bratty people! I just can't stand arrogant guys, I'm here... …”

"Soy sauce! He is a friend of Athena and I. Soy sauce passed by here, and came to see it." Chen Rui said first, and gave Pagliu a stern look.

Pagliu snorted coldly and did not continue to make trouble. In fact, Dulong felt that the strength of this General George was no trivial matter. Once he really fought, I am afraid that he is not an opponent because he is currently sealed by the ancient rune.

The more this is the case, the more Dulong is worried about Chen Rui's safety. If George really has a murderous intention, even if he is himself, he may not be able to protect Chen Rui, so he deliberately draws George's attention.

"General George has something to discuss with me, you go out first." Chen Rui winked at everyone.

Athena glanced at the expressionless George, afraid that the two most important men in her heart would turn against each other, bit her lip and said, "Father, let me stay."

"My next question is to ask this kid alone. Before that, I won't do anything to him." Knowing daughter Moruofu, George saw Athena's worries and added, "If you stay here, Then there is nothing to say between me and him, and I will take you directly back to Warlock Fortress.

Under Chen Rui's repeated gestures, Athena walked out of the room with a displeased Pagliu and others.

"It turns out that it is courageous to bring so many people here." George glanced at Chen Rui, who was a little nervous, and asked, "Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

"I'm really afraid. No one knows the name of the first general of the empire." Chen Rui flattered his father-in-law in a small way: "But I'm more afraid that I can't satisfy the general and make Athena sad."

"I received news that a human being in Darkmoon City shamelessly deceived my daughter with sweet words and nasty drugs. Now it seems that your eloquence is good, and it already meets the first point."

Chen Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I also have an apprentice who is a master of pharmacy. So, the second point is almost the same."

George nodded indifferently, but didn't make a fuss about it: "I saw the eldest princess yesterday and learned about the food base you planned. Now the Regent Hei Yao has ordered to cut half of the food aid in Chiyou Territory. , what do you think about this?"

Chen Rui was stunned, but he didn't expect that George did not continue "interrogation." Instead, he focused on this topic. Is it the test of his father-in-law?

Anyway, at least it's an opportunity.

Chen Rui straightened out his thoughts, and roughly stated the follow-up plan. The general content was similar to what Tim said last time, but some adjustments were made in the details.

George nodded slightly, noncommittal, and asked: "Athena's training of soldiers was all you taught her?"

"The general is the master in this regard, the god of war of the empire, the combat power of those soldiers... made the general laugh."

George shook his head: "Because of the relationship between the basics and training time, the combat effectiveness of those soldiers is really not worth mentioning, but your training method is not funny at all. Although that method is simple, it is very effective. There will be a considerable leap in the combat effectiveness of the troops. My second question is, what do you think a really strong army looks like?

"

This should be the third question... Chen Rui was very smart not to remind his father-in-law of any small mistakes in his common sense of mathematics. After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, I am a layman in the military. I remember a saying from the sages of mankind. The wind is as gentle as a forest, invading and plundering like a fire, moving like a mountain, hard to know like a cloud, moving like a thunderclap, this should be the requirement of a strong army."

"Fast like the wind, it moves like a forest, it invades like a fire, it doesn't move like a mountain, it's hard to know, like a cloud, and it moves like a thunderstorm." George chewed these words carefully, and blurted out praise: "Well said! Your trainer, I I plan to promote it in the Warok Fortress, you have no opinion. If you can really meet the requirements of these few words, you can become the strongest army in the demon world!"

Of course Chen Rui had no opinion. Hearing George's praise, he hit the snake and followed the stick to the ground and said a few more words: Those who attack and must take, attack what they do not defend. Those who defend and must be solid, defend what they are not attacking... The water controls the flow because of the ground, and the army wins because of the enemy. Therefore, soldiers have no constant force, water has no constant shape, and those who can win due to the changes of the enemy are called gods...

The military skills of the ancient Chinese ancestors were amazing. When Chen Rui properly translated it in the language of the demon world, George's eyes flashed brightly, and he couldn't stop nodding. Seeing the great joy of his father-in-law, Longyan, a certain son-in-law shouted in his heart that the brilliance of Lord Sun Wu was comparable to the double moon in the devil world.

George's next question shocked Chen Rui, who was a little complacent just now: "What is the relationship between that dragon clan just now and you?"

Pagliu is clearly a humanoid, but George is aware of Pagliu's dragon identity! Chen Rui was taken aback, George saw his surprise, shook his head and said, "Didn't Athena tell you? My thirteenth wife is a dragon woman. Although the dragon has restrained its strength, she still has no idea. This unique aura cannot be concealed from me, who has lived with the Dragon Clan for many years."

Dragon wife? This is the real dragon knight! Father-in-law is too good! In an instant, Chen Rui's admiration was like a surging river.

However, the question still needs to be answered, Chen Rui thought about it for a while, and said the answer truthfully without concealment: "Partner."

George was slightly moved: "I didn't expect you to be recognized by the Dragon Clan. I thought I had a high opinion of you, but I missed it. Then the next few questions can be shortened to the last one, depending on your wisdom, talent and The military strategy, coupled with the strength of the dragon companions, why would you stay in a place like Dark Moon to serve the eldest princess?"

Chen Rui bowed his head and said nothing. When he first came to the demon world, it was purely to survive and earn his life. Later, he signed a symbiotic contract with Pagliu. Under the action of Sauron's pupil, he broke free from the shackles of the lock of light and darkness and gained freedom.

Looking back, he grew up step by step with the help of a super system from a powerless human being, and gained the power he is today. Even the wisdom and planning ability that originally drove ducks to the shelves are gradually revealing their strengths. This is a change in the environment. people. If the reborn "Arthur" did not fall into the demon world but was still in the human world, then he would probably still be an aristocrat waiting to die.

Now that Pagliu can move freely after being freed from the bondage, the necessary conditions that restrained Chen Rui to stay in the dark moon have disappeared. Now he can choose to fly away, leave this dangerous dark moon, and leave the iceberg woman with the mask of indifference. Leaving that quirky cute little girl...

Seeing his silence, George said, "I have a request."

Chen Rui was surprised because what George said was not "request." but "request".

George said sternly: "The eldest princess has roughly told me your overall plan, which really surprised me. Perhaps... Prince Green's last wish will not be just a fantasy. Then, please do your best to help the eldest princess. Once. Just this time, I am deeply favored by Emperor Bai Ye, and I will defend the line of Emperor Bai Ye to the death. But as a father, I also have my own selfishness. I don't ask you to be loyal. If the situation is bad, you can bring Athena and the child with you. Leave Darkmoon, go wherever you want and live the life you want."

Chen Rui didn't expect George to make such a request, so he gathered up the courage to explain: "Your Excellency General, in fact, Athena's pregnancy is false, and she and I have not progressed to the final step."

"I know, do you think her little tricks can deceive my father? However, the absence of children now does not mean that there will be no children in the future." George's answer surprised Chen Rui even more: "Since Athena is willing to do it for you, This level of lying, then I can be sure that even if I take her away, her heart will stay with you forever so I didn't do that, but stayed to see the sweet talk that stole my daughter Sincere 'shameless guy' finally, not too disappointed.

Chen Rui's eyes lit up, listening to George's tone, it seems that the biggest purpose of meeting his father-in-law this time... has been achieved!

"I promise you, General." Chen Rui took a deep breath, nodded, and finally made an important decision in advance. Just as General George requested, I don't ask for die-hard loyalty, but I just want to fight this time with all my heart, for Athena, for Shia, for Alice... and for my own ambition to fight against fate!

George nodded approvingly: "Very good, Athena has a home, and I can rest assured. Although you don't seem to have any strength, my intuition tells me that you have the ability to protect and take care of my daughter."

Chen Rui was greatly surprised. Could it be that the rebound after the "bad luck" automatically turned into "God Bless One Day"? The father-in-law, who I thought was the saddest, passed it so easily!

A smile appeared on George's stern face: "Do you think it's strange? I actually entrusted my daughter to a human with no background in power? There are more powerful people than you have ability!"

Chen Rui nodded, the daughter of the first general of the empire betrothed to the lord of the ruined territory... a sheriff under his command,

It does feel a little bit like a flower is inserted on that or something.

"The reason is actually very simple, Athena likes it!" Father-in-law's answer was sonorous and forceful.

Speaking of this, George exuded a compelling aura: "In fact, before this, not only the Cuaron family and the Ruth family, but also many families have made requests for marriage, and they have repeatedly stated that it is for the sake of prestige. The continuation of the Les family, etc. Originally, in large families, marriage is generally not chosen according to one's own wishes, but my daughter of George Wells can choose by herself!"

Chen Rui's eyes lit up, Athena lost her mother since she was a child, but fortunately, she has a good father who really loves her daughter.

George sneered: "I said to those guys, who am I, George. Wells? Will I sacrifice my daughter's happiness in exchange for the interests of the family? If it falls to this point, the surname Wells will also be lost. The meaning of existence! If Athena doesn't agree, I don't agree. Those who don't agree can come to Warlock Fortress to challenge me, come to kill one, come two to kill one pair, come three and I will go back and destroy his whole family! What about Hei Yao, who stole the foundation of the Great Emperor Bai Ye? It annoyed me, and I turned against him like I did!"

So awesome! Originally, in Chen Rui's eyes, George was just a stern uncle, but in an instant, he became the all-powerful and domineering first general, no wonder even Hei Yao was afraid.

It is precisely because of the solid backing of George that Shia was able to prop up the Darkmoon Territory in the difficult cracks and prop up the only hope for the Great Emperor Baiye's lineage.

Chen Rui was full of admiration, but before he could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Pagliu's voice rang out: "Who is that, man enough! This uncle likes your arrogance! Dare you talk to me? Go for a drink?"

George's eyes were fixed on Pagliu's body, with great momentum, he spit out a sentence: "I'm afraid you won't dare!"
