The men behind Harrison noticed this man, and they all surrounded them silently. Harrison was still standing there in surprise until that man raised his head a little and smiled, “It’s me.” Harrison’s body was trembling, and he suddenly grabbed the man’s shoulder. Others were all very surprised when they saw how excited Harrison was. The machine-man who stood far away from them also seemed to look at them. “Is this safe here?” The man asked. “Safe.” Harrison said in a trembling voice, “Let’s go downstairs.” It was silent and busy in the secret basement. Harrison and others walked to the big parking apron, and they saw Malcolm and the captains standing behind the technical officer’s computer and looking at something.“Commander!” Harrison said loudly, “It was all in order in the secret basement.” All the people turned around to look at Harrison, who was too loud. They were all stunned. Patrick Lewis took off the cap and smiled at them. “Fuck!” Malcolm shouted, and the cigarette end fell to the ground. He ran to Patrick, and the captains followed him. They rushed to Patrick and hugged each other without saying anything. “We thought you were dead.” Malcolm smiled, crinkling his eyes, “We never thought you could come back alive. Why do you seem stronger than last time?” Patrick just smiled and didn’t explain. “The machine man tried to kill me, but I ran away and came back. Prepare a room for me in the basement. Don’t tell others that I’m alive.” He looked at the technical officers not far away from him, who were so excited that they stood up, and he asked, “How is Yvonne’s work going on?” Malcolm answered, “It was going well. She had simulated the leading technology of the machine man.” “So it means that...” Patrick’s eyes were bright, “We can launch a counterattack?” “Yes.” “Yvonne Williams!” Patrick shouted. The chief technical officer ran to him. “Give me a copy of your results.” Patrick said lightly, “I’ll read it tonight.” “Yes, sir!” Patrick said, “The victory of our army depends on your results, so you have to keep it a secret.” That night, Malcolm and the other captains drank a lot with Patrick in the secret basement to celebrate his survival. Patrick told them the short story that he plotted against on the Orc planet and that he was lucky enough to run away and get into the fighter of a machine medical officer and get back. The people were still frightened when they heard the story, and they all reached an unspoken census, not to mention Emerald. However, Patrick talked about her. “I heard that,” he said, “She ran away from Evan Silas. Maybe she was in exile in outer space. Tell the mercenaries who do tasks to pay attention. If they find any trace of her, they must take her back before the machine man does.” “Yes.” The people were suddenly hopeful again. “What about the child?” Harrison asked. Patrick was silent, but there was anger in his eyes, “He was still with Evan Silas.” They drank till midnight, and lots of people were drunk. So did Patrick. He went back to the basement that Malcolm had organized for him. On the next morning, Malcolm woke up and thought of Patrick. He went to the secret basement. The door of Patrick’s room was closed. He saw through the window that Patrick was lying on the small bed. His eyes were closed, and he didn’t move at all. He thought that maybe Patrick was very tired after the long trip and that Patrick’s identity was still a secret, so he told the men in the basement not to disturb his rest and left the secret basement. He went back to the ground and saw that the Viper of that big hitter had left. He was a little relieved and went to the labor camp to start the day of work. At the same time, the black Viper landed in Kahlil’s mansion in Freedom City in the Northern Hemisphere. The guard saw Kenneth’s badges and let him in respectfully. After walking for a few steps, he saw Kahlil by the gate, who was looking at him in surprise.He walked to Kahlil after being silent for a while. “I have something to say to you.” “Your Majesty, I’ll do whatever you order me to.” Although Kenneth and Evan Silas had reached an agreement, Evan still controlled the military power. Kenneth’s rank was marshal, and he was a royal family member. It was the basic rule that the machine men should be loyal to the royal family, Evan Silas had to acknowledge his identity. In the military meeting the day before yesterday, Evan had introduced Kenneth to all the officers whose ranks were higher than Major. The five generals, including Evan Silas and Kahlil, who had the right to vote, all agreed that Kenneth should be the new leader of the Empire. They decided to announce the new king of machine man in a few days. At the same time, Kenneth would support the army as the chief adviser. Therefore, Kahlil called Kenneth “Your Majesty.” They sat in the living room. Kenneth looked up, and Kahlil immediately sent away all the machine guards. Kenneth leaned on the sofa, spreading his long legs and holding his arms. Kahlil suddenly felt weird. “Calman,” Kenneth said, “Do you remember what you said to me when I took you out of the radiation zone?” Kahlil was astonished. He jumped up and pointed his finger at Kenneth, “How do you know...” Kenneth’s eyes were clear, and he said proudly, “You said that Calman Henry’s life belonged to Patrick Lewis, and I could take it whenever I want.” Kahlil’s face was suddenly pale, and he was lost for words. Kenneth stood up and stared at Kahlil, “I don’t need your life. I need your loyalty. I want to kill Evan Silas and take command of the army.”Kahlil’s expressions kept changing, and he said, “Are you, Patrick Lewis? How can Patrick Lewis be a machine man?” Kenneth said lightly, “You should be clearer about this than any other person. Millions of years ago, I simulated a man called Patrick Lewis, just like you.” Kahlil still couldn’t believe him. “If you are a machine man, then why have you done these things for the past few years? Why haven’t you shown any power of a machine man? Why do you endure the humiliation of being a human leader?”
