"Mr. Russell."
"Mr. Terra."
When two bosses of large companies meet, the first thing they do is shake hands, address each other by their last name, and add "Mr." to express respect.
After the superficial friendship ended, Constantine took ten bodyguards, followed William and Serena, and walked towards a small guest cabin next to Hangar Bay Four.
Arrive at the guest cabin.
The bodyguards could only guard outside the cabin door, while William, Constantine and Serena walked into the cabin, where the two bosses sat on comfortable single sofas.
As the secretary, Serena prepared tea for the two of them, placed it on the low table between the two sofas, and then stood quietly behind William.
William reached out to pick up the water glass, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, put down the water glass and spoke first:
"Constantine, there is no need for the two of us to worry about each other. Tell us what is the purpose of your coming."
"Haha." Constantine also put down the water glass and said with a faint smile:
"William, your personality is really a bit like Lord Russell. Well, I'm not here to discuss any cooperation. I just want to talk about Nova and Ivan."
"Nova and Ivan?" William was stunned.
"Yes." Constantine still smiled and said:
"We, Terra Family, have had the ability to 'channel' since the 13th generation. Of course, it is very similar to the psychic ability that you Umbrella defines.
It is precisely because of this ability that our family successfully gained the favor of the royal family in England, and later became very good friends with you Russell Family.
During the colonial wave of the 18th century, we Terra Family moved to what is now the United States, and you Russell Family went to what is now Canada.
After that, Russell Family became more and more powerful among the nobility, so that by my father's generation, Terra Family had completely become a subsidiary of your grandfather, that is, Sears·Lord Russell.
I also followed my father to serve Russell Family secretly, but after my father passed away, Lord Russell hoped that I would do my best to revive Terra Family.
And I did exactly that. Although the current Terra Enterprise is not as good as your Umbrella, it can still be considered a giant."
"Yeah." William also responded lightly.
Constantine continued, "In addition to asking me to revive Terra Family, Lord Russell also gave me another order while waiting for the Russell Family to rise again."
Speaking of which? Constantine said in a serious tone, "Then let our two families get married again."
"Marriage..."
After hearing Constantine's words, William lay on the back of the sofa and frowned tightly.
William Need to prepare a plan for 'Vengeance Expedition' these days? I haven't been paying attention to the group of young people Ivan and Yelena.
But when he first returned to Solar System, young people such as Ivan also welcomed him with the veteran.
At that time? William noticed that there was some difficulty between Shia and Nova.
Reconnecting to the 'marriage' mentioned by Constantine, William finally knows about Shia and Nova? Why do these two girls dislike each other?
There was silence for a few seconds.
William said, "I have never thought about letting my 'Children get married? I am not that old-fashioned. I hope that the younger generations can fall in love freely."
"Indeed." Constantine said with a smile still on his face:
"However, Lord Russell has taken a fancy to the 'psionic power' of our Terra Family, and hopes that we can join forces to ensure that the younger generations can have better physical fitness and abilities.
And my daughter should also be your Umbrella? The first high-level Psyker ever detected.
Also? Polygamy was the norm for nobles in ancient times. I can also let my daughter degrade herself, as long as she can complete the task of Lord Russell."
"..."
At this time, William looked at Constantine with a speechless expression.
He never expected that this aristocratic boss with the appearance of a 'god of murder' would work so hard to fulfill his grandfather's orders.
There was another moment of silence.
"Hey." William sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, stood up and said:
"Ivan is just fifteen years old now, is it too early to talk about these things? Besides, there will be an expedition next, and I don't have the time to think about it."
Constantine also stood up and said, "Of course? I came here to talk about marriage.
The second is that I want to see my daughter. After all, do you need my daughter's assistance to deal with Yuri and Psyker like Marin? And your expedition will take at least half a month."
"No problem." Hearing this, William no longer had a straight face, turned his head and said quietly to Serena:
"Serena, inform Nova that her father is waiting for her at Hangar Bay Four."
"Yes, boss." Serena responded.
Next.
William brought Constantine and his bodyguards back to Hangar Bay Four on the Infinity.
During the period, the two bosses briefly discussed some future cooperation and planned to continue the detailed discussion and details after the expedition was over.
After all, the UNSC has already stretched its legs, and Umbrella is not yet ready to control, govern and make decisions for more than 90% of humans. William will feel very powerless.
Therefore, William has long had the idea of supporting Terra Family and letting Constantine assist Umbrella in managing remote colonies.
Later.
Nova, who had already fought and lived with Umbrella, came to Hangar Bay Four wearing the civilian clothes of Umbrella's army.
Father and daughter reunited after a long separation.
But there were not too many affectionate words as others imagined. Instead, Constantine told her daughter to pay more attention to safety and completely obey William's command.
After seeing his daughter, Constantine returned to the luxury yacht, entered the large decompression chamber under the guidance of the ground staff, and left the Infinity ship.
Then, William also asked Serena to return to the bridge, preside over the mixed formation of Umbrella and UNSC Warship group, and prepare for the collective jump in two hours.
William went to the experimental area of Endless, preparing to ask Halsey and Rebecca about the level of technological cracking of Yuri's side.
Two hours later.
Thousands of Warship groups originally parked on the dock track began to move collectively, and finally formed an unprecedented number of Expeditionary fleets. When the fleet traveled 0.5 ETM away from the dock, they stopped at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of faint blue vortex entrances of different sizes appeared in front of Expeditionary fleet.
Thousands of warships slowly entered the jump channel. In less than half a minute, all the warships were 'engulfed' by all the jump entrances, and the blue vortex also dissipated.
At this point, the 'Vengeance Expedition' fleet has completely entered the jump channel and is heading to the Hozette-4 galaxy 10,000 light-years away from Solar System.
The fastest estimated arrival time is at least seven days, so each expedition warship needs to stay in isolation within Warp Space for more than seven days.
