A Confession Without Being Asked

Seeing that the various Chapter were locked in a stalemate, Dante chose to compromise.

He spent a long time during that glorious era of the Great Crusade, so his feelings for the Blood Angels are different.

Moreover, he had fought alongside his father, so he wanted to restore the glory of the Ninth Legion.

That's why he wanted to reorganize the Ninth Legion after his return, and now the various Chapter have reached an agreement on the reorganization.

We cannot allow the reorganization of the Chapter to fail to be implemented in the last aspect.

As the Scions of angels, Dante himself had his own little schemes.

"The Chapter Master are right. Since I brought this up, I should take full responsibility for it."

"I have a rough outline of the Chapter reorganization plan here. After you return, each Chapter should reorganize according to this plan."

"Once you've nearly completed the first phase of your work, I will travel there with the Father of Night."

Oh?

Han Mingxuan, who had been sitting quietly listening to the meeting, was suddenly mentioned by Dante.

His gaze fell on Dante, a smile playing on his lips.

This kid really did learn something from being around the Great Angel.

However, considering that Dante had already come up with such an idea, it was already the limit, so Han Mingxuan did not refuse.

"No problem, I'll go with Chapter Master Dante."

As for Dante, when he heard Han Mingxuan say that he wanted to go with him, he honestly felt a lot relieved.

Of everyone present, only the Father of Night had ever truly been a father.

Therefore, when he goes to investigate the various Legions, as long as the Father of Night is willing to go with him, his pressure will be much less.

"Thank you for your understanding, Father of Night."

Han Mingxuan didn't say much, he just smiled and nodded.

"Sir, I have a question," a Chapter Master said.

"Speak."

"May I ask who this Father of Night is?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked; the question left Dante speechless.

Although the identity of the Father of Night has been officially endorsed by the Imperium.

However, in the eyes of most people, even though his news spread throughout the entire Imperium, he himself had accomplished nothing within the Imperium.

Even if these Chapter Master knew the name of the Father of Night, it was a different story when they actually saw him.

"I am a Teacher."

"A pastor?"

"Teachers who educate and nurture students."

"Imperium nobles?"

"I am not Imperium nobleman, and I believe they would not be very welcoming to me."

"Chapter Master Joel, watch your words," Dante said.

He could keenly sense that the Chapter Master's words were now tinged with offense.

While it wasn't exactly a case of double-dealing, the tension was palpable.

Han Mingxuan became interested after hearing Dante's address to this person.

"Yor, Chapter Master of the Knights of Blood?"

"It's me, sir."

Han Mingxuan nodded, looking at the Chapter Master.

During the Battle of Baal, the Knights of Blood answered Dante's call, but they and the Lamenters belonged to opposite extremes.

They were tasked with staying behind to cover the retreat of the Flesh Tearers.

Basically, the Chapter has been wiped out.

Of course, the heroic sacrifices on the battlefield are one aspect, but there is another.

On another front, there was the Imperium government's official recognition of the Knights of Blood Chapter after the war.

Because the Knights of Blood Chapter directly embraced Red Thirst during the war, although Chapter were rebuilt after the war, their designation was revoked.

At the same time, the original Blood Angels Chapter was considered a traitorous Chapter.

"How's your Chapter doing lately?" Han Mingxuan asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, my Chapter is doing well."

Dante was surprised that Han Mingxuan suddenly took the initiative to inquire about the Knights of Blood Chapter.

Since arriving here, the Father of Night has only had a brief exchange with the Lamenters, and has shown no interest in the other sub-chapters of the Blood Angels.

Dante actually found this matter quite troublesome.

Although he was the oldest Space Marine, he didn't want to rely on anyone.

But as long as this Night Haunter sits here, he's absolutely a pillar of stability.

It's impossible to make him completely free of any dependence on the Father of Night.

He had seen the Eighth Legion during the Great Crusade, and he knew just how precious the discipline and spirit of that Legion under the leadership of the Father of Night truly were.

Therefore, Dante's consistent idea regarding Han Mingxuan was to have him learn more about and care more about the other subgroups.

The most important reason he asked Han Mingxuan to go on the research trip with him was not only to share his burden, but also because he wanted Han Mingxuan to accompany him.

"How's the resolution of the genetic defect issue going?"

Han Mingxuan's question silenced the conference room. Apart from the members of the Blood Angels Chapter, the other Chapter hadn't expected the Father of Night to ask such a pointed question.

"No need for you to worry about anything, sir," Joel said as calmly as possible.

"Don't be so formal, young man. Sanguinius isn't around to help you in this era; you'll have to shoulder many burdens on your own."

"Since I'm here as his elder, I'll naturally help you if I can. Just tell me if you have any difficulties."

"No problem, sir."

Hehe.

"Okay, let me rephrase the question: Does your Chapter need Gene-seed?"

Gene-seed?

Joel didn't know what Han Mingxuan meant by asking that question, but he remained cautious around this mysterious figure.

"My lord, the Gene-seed within our Chapter has remained stable. As long as the Gene-seed Tithe is paid on time, the Chapter can continue to exist."

Hearing the Chapter Master's flawless answer, Han Mingxuan nodded. It's alright; building trust takes time.

"Given the current situation, paying the Gene-seed Tithe is mandatory. However, now that you have seen the Evernight Code, I believe that your Gene-seed will change before long."

Can Gene-seed change?

Han Mingxuan's words made all the Chapter Master present tense.

They had only received a message from the Blood Angels Chapter, instructing them to spread the Evernight Code on a small scale, but they were unaware of its impact on the Gene-seed.

"What, Dante, didn't you explain the implications to them?" Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

In Han Mingxuan's view, although these Chapter Masters were unaware of the Evernight Code and the Literary Pivot of Splendid Chapters's influence on the Gene-seed.

However, Dante did indeed distribute these two books throughout all the subcommunities of the Blood Angels.

So Han Mingxuan is genuinely happy now. At least judging from the reactions of the other Chapter Master, the book's content does have an impact.

But Han Mingxuan's smile was a completely different matter in Dante's eyes.

Because he himself has a guilty conscience.

Dante was well aware of what this so-called dissemination was all about.

He only allowed a small group of senior officers within each Chapter to circulate and keep copies.

Now that the Father of Night is smiling and asking him what exactly happened, it means that the Father of Night definitely knows the inside story.

He wouldn't bother to wonder how the gentleman before him knew, because there was no need to.

When he woke up, he wanted to mention the gentleman's name and title, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

This means one thing.

This gentleman holds immense weight in the Warp; ordinary people cannot utter his title, nor can they speak a single word about him without his permission.

"Please forgive me, Father of Night, regarding those two Relic... there are some minor differences in how the books were circulated."

Um?

As Teacher, Han Mingxuan knew Dante's current state best, and his expression changed instantly.

There's something more to what this kid said.
