Chapter 227 Lux, a Widow in a Certain Sense
"The Eternity was shot down by Yzak?"

"Didn't he go after those damn East Asians?"

His brain wasn't as quick as those of the two people at the scene, and when Patrick first heard the news, he had no associations.

But the expressions of Isalia and Lux ​​changed after hearing the news.

However, Isalia was able to maintain her composure on the surface, except that her face turned pale at the beginning.

She quickly returned to her normal expression, but her hands were clenched into fists behind her back.

Her nails dug deeply into the flesh, seeming to reveal her inner unrest once again.

As for Lux, she was standing next to Bartfield.

This pink singer, who had been acting like a goddess, suddenly shook her whole body.

If Bartfield had not supported the girl in time, she would have most likely fainted on the ground.

"Ok?"

Patrick, who had a sullen face before, stared at Lux's reaction again and again, and slowly relaxed his tightly clenched mouth.

Little by little, Patrick's mouth opened.

"Ha ha ha ha."

A loud laugh came out of Patrick's mouth, and the sound echoed over and over again in this dark office.

At this moment, his mood was as refreshing as drinking a glass of iced fat guy's happy water in the dog days of summer.

"The main members of the Kulain Prison Break are on the Eternity!"

Patrick was overjoyed and felt relieved. There couldn't be any better news than this.

When he had thrown the main members of the Kulain faction into jail, he had thought of targeting this group of opponents as a whole.

But on the other hand, because he had just come to power, he was still unable to do so even though he had caught the Kulain faction's weakness.

It seemed that the idea of ​​killing them all and taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents was too strong, after all, it was Kulain and her daughter who caused the trouble.

PLANT has no tradition of collective punishment, and they also want to save face.
On the other hand, to be honest, the Kulain faction has quite a few supporters in PLANT itself, and it is easy to kill all these spiritual leaders in one fell swoop.

Not to mention the public confrontation it would cause, if they really cleared out the slate, the local government's administrative agencies would basically come to a standstill.

Due to the above factors, the problems of the Kulain faction have been delayed until now.

Unexpectedly!

Lux stared at the boiling hotpot on her face, which was filled with various ingredients of all colors.

Hehehe, Patrick couldn't stop laughing.

"Well, Izaak is indeed the best fighter in our ZAFT army."

"He lived up to the ZAFT army's training, and did not disappoint all his fellow Adjusters."

In a good mood, Patrick praised Isaac highly for doing such a thing.

Even his next words made Isalia, who was trying to remain calm, unable to stand.

"I'm going to award Yzak the Nebula Medal for his contributions to the ZAFT Army!"

My goodness, others have made extraordinary contributions during the period of fighting against foreign enemies, and only then will they be awarded the Nebula Medal, which is of an extraordinary level.

Patrick is giving Isaac such a great honor just because he reasonably killed the main body of the Kulain faction!
It shows how good Patrick's mood is now!

How much he hates the Kulain faction in his heart.

And the most important point!
But Isalia would never allow such a thing to happen.

As mentioned before, the Nebula Medal is the highest honor in the ZAFT military.

Those who are awarded this medal also receive great privileges.

And why were others awarded?

Why was it awarded to my own son?

Killed the main members of the entire Kulain faction!
This is almost poking the sky apart!
If this matter were to get outside and be known by the countless local supporters of the Kulain faction, it would be disastrous!

I’ll punish you from heaven in a minute!
So in order to protect his son, he didn't want Patrick to use him as a sitting target.

Used to attract the hostile eyes of all local Kulain supporters.

Looking at Patrick who was clamoring to award his son a medal, Isalia wondered why he wanted to give such a big reward.

What’s more, I want my son to bear all the hatred!

So that he could take this opportunity to remove himself from the whole thing!
In order to prevent this from happening, Isalia ignored everything else and raised different opinions against Patrick.

In short, he would never allow the other party to award his son the Nebula Medal no matter what.

It is even more necessary to handle the whole matter coldly, and it is best not to say anything to the outside world.

It's best to just pretend that nothing happened.

So one wanted to be awarded the honor, and the other was not allowed to be awarded the honor.

The leader of the Sara faction and the second-in-command of the faction were arguing fiercely in front of a large crowd of onlookers.

"Captain Bartfield, I'm feeling better now, thank you."

Looking at the two people quarreling in front of him, after a period of buffer, Lux seemed to have recovered.

She reached out and grabbed Captain Bartfield who was supporting her, and whispered a thank you.

"Ms. Lacus, are you really okay?"

Such a big thing happened, and Bartfield noticed that everyone's attention was not on them.

He quickly whispered to Lux, "It's okay."

A sad look flashed across her face, and Lux's pale face shook.

Wang Hu, you are such a cruel man!
The leader of a faction is of course extremely important, as he plays an important role like a banner in rallying people's hearts and minds.

The excellence of a faction is inseparable from the excellence of its leader.

But from another perspective, the core members of a faction are equally important.

Although on the surface the backbone of factions are not as dazzling as the leaders, they are like the bones and flesh of a person's body.

It plays a connecting role!
When the leader dies, the faction will suffer a heavy blow. If all the backbone members of the faction die, the faction may even disappear.

Just because I don’t want to be a plaque used by you East Asians to decorate yourself, and become your puppet.

Are you so cruel?

Blinking, Lux thought everyone was a mature politician.

As long as there is value in mutual benefit between everyone, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

So what if I didn't do what you wanted this time and even secretly tricked you?

As long as the interests are aligned, we can still be good friends!

However, they did not expect that Wang Hu from East Asia would simply overturn the table.

He simply used Isaac to destroy the hard work of himself and his father, which directly intensified the conflicts among the people within PLANT.

This further weakened the centripetal force of the overall adjuster, and indirectly achieved the effect of the Kulein faction establishing an exiled government with the support of East Asia.

It not only tore the PLANT apart, but also weakened the PLANT's combat power!
"Wang Hu, aren't you afraid that I will join forces with the Sara faction?"

Lux muttered to herself, mature politicians are scary.

For the sake of interests and goals, it is not impossible for even hostile enemies to shake hands and make peace.

There are many such examples in history. For a moment, Lux really had the urge to take this opportunity to switch to the Sara faction.

But I can't, for the sake of peace and the ideals of the Kulain faction.

Lux smiled bitterly and stared at Patrick and Isalia who were still arguing.

Naive, these two people are so naive.

In fact, you don't need to do anything extra, the East Asian side will definitely spread the news everywhere.

The East Asian side will certainly make a thorough analysis of what is right and what is wrong.

"I lost this round."

Shaking her head, Lux stood up, since her backup plan was destroyed by Wang Hu in this way.

Then
Calmly looking at the scene so as not to be overwhelmed by such a blow, Lux quietly took a few steps back.

Seeing that everyone's attention was still not on her, she slowly continued to retreat step by step.

Funny? Very funny!
After hearing the news that the main force of the Kulain faction was completely wiped out, Lux actually left Patrick's office smoothly.

No one noticed at all.

Later, under the cover of Captain Bartfield, he falsely conveyed Patrick's order, saying that Lux was to be imprisoned.

They just escaped from the ZAFT military headquarters in such a dignified manner!
Just like that, the quarrel in Patrick’s office isn’t over yet!

At the same time, in the secret port where the Eternity is located.

Avoiding the explosion of the Eternal, it flew out of the PLANT satellite capital from another route.

In the shuttle, Master Mu and his disciple Zhang Peng looked at each other. They couldn't believe that things were over like this.

"What did I see?" Mu looked stupid and recalled what he had seen before.

"Wang Hu manipulated the training Jinn and led the three people into the minefield set by Lelouch."

"While the three men were blinded by the flames of the minefield explosion, he used the set driving mode to send the training ship Jin En to rendezvous with the Eternal, which was preparing to set sail."

"But he had already secretly jumped off the machine, took a detour and successfully reunited with us?"

"Yes." Zhang Peng looked at Wang Hu in front of him with admiration, as he was discussing in a low voice with Lelouch.

"We even knew the psychology of that man called Izak accurately. When the explosion was over, the other two machines were still searching for the situation."

"To prevent any other backup plans, that Yitzhak only saw the training Jin En boarding the Eternity."

"He didn't even ask questions, and directly attacked the Everlasting as it set sail!"

"These two are so scary!"

"We must not offend them in the future." Mu nodded repeatedly and added with lingering fear.

"These two guys are not only killing people, but also destroying their souls. After Ysaq destroys the Eternity, Wang Hu and the other two will ensure that the other side will not chase our shuttle."

"They directly sent the list of people on the Eternity to that unfortunate Yitzhak."

"Isn't it?" Zhang Peng's eyes showed fear, and he secretly and sternly warned his apprentice Liu Peiqiang in private.

"Remember this, stay away from those two people next time."

"I admit that the shuttle's safe departure was due to that list. No matter who sees that list, I'm afraid they won't be in the mood to chase the enemy."

"But this method is too dirty, and the people who use it are evil-minded."

"Pei Qiang, you must not learn from these people, understand!"
