After Carl finished saying this, he turned to Louis and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared. “You really know how to cause trouble.”
Xi Ning and the system were shocked. This General Carl turned out to be…… Louis' father?
But how could a general's son beco a pirate…… Xi Ning sat next to Louis and did not dare to even breathe, watching the conversation between the two carefully.
Louis said impatiently, “Why do you talk so much nonsense? If you want to arrest , just do it quickly. So it was your warship that was tailing us last ti……”
“Tailing you? I don't have the spare ti to do such things,” Carl raised his brows slightly. “Wasn’t it you who contacted and wanted to take care of your troubles?”
He and Louis actually didn't look alike at all, and their auras were also different. Louis had a stern face when he had no expression, while Carl looked gentle. But the movent of his eyebrows was exactly the sa as that of Louis.
Louis was silent for a while, then said, “I didn't contact you.”
Xi Ning wasn't very comfortable sitting. He couldn't help but lean on Louis. Louis simply reached out and hugged him, slowly rubbing his lower back.
Carl glanced at the postures of the two of them, tilted his head and took a communicator from his subordinate. He then placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Louis. “Rember the communicator that I gave you back then? A few days ago, I received a ssage from it.”
Louis picked it up and glanced at it briefly. The ssage that was sent to Carl was written using his identity. The ssage said that he had accidentally robbed a Federation spaceship and had trouble in his hand that needed to be dealt with. He hoped Carl could help him this ti. Two detailed coordinates were also attached.
“Did you get it wrong? Do you think I would send sothing like this to you?” Louis put down the communicator and narrowed his eyes. “As for your communicator, I already……”
I already threw it away long ago.
But the coordinates were indeed sent to Carl from their spaceship. There were only a few people who knew that he was Carl's illegitimate son and had seen the communicator.
Louie imdiately confird who was behind this, and Vera might have drawn or coerced Langdon, otherwise Carl would not have been able to approach them silently.
Carl smiled without saying a word, and asked his subordinates to put away the communicator.
Of course he knew that Louis would not send him a ssage like this. At first, he thought it was a rebellion by soone under Louis, so he brought a large number of warships to control the pirates on the spaceship, but then he was told that Louis was on the small planet below and there was nothing abnormal about the pirates.
Carl didn't know who sent him the ssage, but his visit this ti was an unexpected gain. The Federation had always suspected that the interstellar pirates had hijacked the spaceship of the prince of the Sea Clan. He imdiately thought of Louis; who else besides them had such patience and courage.
Looking at it now, it really was him.
“I will treat it as you who sent it. I originally didn't intervene in the search for His Royal Highness Cyril, but since I happened to be here.” Carl leaned back in his chair and smiled. “I will bring His Royal Highness back along with .”
When Louis knew that Carl was tricked to co here by his people through the ssage. He still had a glimr of hope that Carl didn't co for Xi Ning, so maybe he would let them go this ti, but now he heard him say this.
His face turned gloomy. “I won't let you take him away.”
Louis didn't want to give in at all, but he also knew in his heart that with the current situation, he had no choice but to agree.
Carl also believed that he knew this. He propped his head with his hand on the table and said with a sigh, “You can also……. go back with .”
Xi Ning quietly raised his head to see Louis' reaction. Louis lowered his head to et with his gaze, his originally tense expression eased, and he kissed his lips gently and said, “Don't be afraid.”
Carl saw the relationship between the two, and has probably guessed the purpose of them coming here. He looked at the sea not far away and said, “I have always wanted you to understand that I am by no ans a cold-blooded person…… The scenery here is pretty good, you can have fun with your little highness for two more days.”
He led his subordinates through the woods and left. He also let go of Louis' other two subordinates. They glanced at them from a distance, and ca back and reported to Louis, “Boss, they haven't left yet and they have set up camp.”
“Understood,” Louis replied, and then stopped his subordinates, “Go and ask them for a new set of tents and sheets.”
The subordinates looked at each other in dismay. They didn't hear the conversation between Louis and Carl just now, and didn't know the relationship between the two. Louis lowered his head. “Just go and ask, he will give it.”
They had no choice but to go to Carl's people, and they ca back with new equipnt not long after.
Louis rubbed Xi Ning's pinched-red waist through his clothes. He had recovered his mood back to the way he was before Carl ca. “Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Xi Ning shook his head. He looked at Louis and hesitated to ask, “That person is yours……”
“It's my blood-related father.” Louis carried Xi Ning as he walked into the newly set up tent. “I'm an illegitimate child.”
Xi Ning had already vaguely guessed it, because the system said that Carl was described with no heirs in the original book: his wife died of illness many years ago, and after that he never remarried.
After entering the tent, Louis briefly talked about the communicator and his background.
He had never seen his father for as long as he could rember. When he was a child, he would ask his mother, but his mother didn't ntion a word. When Louis grew up, he stopped asking about it. Later on, his mother died of illness and he beca an interstellar pirate but was captured by Carl in a failed operation.
Carl asked him who his mother was when he first saw him, forcibly detaining him and taking him back to the mansion to draw blood for a paternity test. Finally, Carl showed him the test sheet, saying that he was his father and wanted him to be his heir.
At that ti, Carl was already a lieutenant, and could not blatantly identify an interstellar pirate as his son, so he let Louis stay in his house first, and invited a gentleman to teach him etiquette.
Louis was in a period of rebelliousness, and of course he would not listen to him, let alone if Carl was really his father, why didn't he go to find him and his mother after so many years? He still had resentnt towards Carl.
He escaped from Carl's house and tried to rescue his companion from the prison, but he was caught a second ti.
But this ti, Carl let them go and gave him a communicator, saying that he could use this to contact him at any ti in the future.
