Leonard Churchill and Seven Brown were busy in the underground factory rigging those instruments.

On the other side, in the building of Deka Mechanical Company, the dispute within the family was still ongoing.

“Father, do you really trust those two of unknown origins?”

“They have a token from the Family Head; there’s no doubting their identities.”

“But even if they are from the Song Family, what then? With the situation as it is now, what difference can just two people make? The Wine Gang has already sent someone to hurry us, asking us to gather at the meeting point quickly. Mother used her connections to barely secure a few tickets; if we don’t leave now, we’ll truly miss the chance…”

“…”

Moustached Leo was the head of the family, and he had to consider not only himself but also his family and the mechanics.

Listening to his wife and children’s anxious urging, his expression also showed some conflict.

Leo saw the situation in Talon City more clearly than most.

He had inquired through connections; even Marshal Roy, the city’s commanding officer, could not guarantee anyone’s safe departure.

Having received a message from the Song Family before, he clung to a glimmer of hope.

After all, he and his father’s generation had personally witnessed the ancestral grandmother of the Song Family turn the tide with her tactics.

He thought there might be some unexpected arrangements.

But now, the people sent by the Song Family to receive them had already been met.

Some uncertainties in his heart had turned into certainties.

They were just two young men, which was a bit different from what he had expected.

At the very least, Leo didn’t see how these two people could change anything for the Roy Family.

However, what did they intend to do at the factory?

And why were they gathering all the mechanics together? What did it mean?

Leo was very conflicted now.

He had already stood firm for his beliefs until the last moment, with a clear conscience.

But turning to look at his anxious family, his eyes flickered.

He could face life and death with equanimity, but he couldn’t bear to see his children die like this.

Leo sighed lightly and said with an utmost serious tone, “Chuck, Luna, you’ve had your adult ceremony; you’re at the age where you can make decisions for your lives. You see the situation before us; to speak frankly… I too feel that our chances of surviving this war are not great. I can’t dictate your futures or ask you to trust my judgment. But I will say this, I will hold out until the end. As for you, you may choose your own paths…”

With this statement, the three of them immediately fell into silence, wrestling with the struggle in their eyes.

When the power of choice truly fell into their hands, they no longer knew how to make a decision.

Having spoken these words, Leo seemed to have glimpsed a shattered future and heaved a long sigh, “I have already divided the family wealth, placed in the safe, and there is a share for each of you. Whatever your choice, I will not blame you. If you can survive, then live well…”

Saying this, he looked at his son and daughter, and his wife.

He knew his wife had never really looked up to him and was aware of her multiple lovers.

But marriages within noble families were always about interests; they were never about deep affections to begin with.

Still, he had these two children that he couldn’t let go of.

Perhaps…

Perhaps if someone could survive and leave…

The Roy Family would have a future.

Speaking of wealth, the heavily made-up wife seemed to finally have a reason to leave, “Old Smith, it’s not that I don’t trust your judgement, I don’t trust the Song Family. I won’t die with those metal lumps and mechanics either… Since you insist on staying, I know I cannot persuade you. Take care then.”

Saying this, she pulled the children to prepare to leave.

Though the youngest daughter was reluctant, she ultimately followed her mother.

Watching his wife, Leo reminded her one last time, “I know you contacted the Wine Gang through your family. But my final word to you is to be careful. I don’t know what the situation is there, but my instinct tells me that the smuggling route is definitely not that easy. In the face of desperation, human nature is the least trustworthy…”

The noblewoman didn’t speak, turning her head to leave.

The young man in a suit watched his mother and sister depart, and then looking back at his father who remained in place, he finally gritted his teeth and stayed, “I will stay with father!”

…

Elsewhere, outside a valley near Talon City.

There was an exit of the Underground Dark River.

This was once the secret smuggling route of the largest gang in Talon City, the “Wine Gang”, and now it had become a lucrative way to smuggle people out of the city.

At this very moment, a group of people guarded the exit.

The Wine Gang boss, with a snake tattoo on his arm, was nodding and bowing to a group of soldiers, explaining something.

“Sir, we’ve received a message from the other side, in at most an hour there will be another batch of people sent over. This time they are all rich tycoons from the city, they’re sure to have plenty of valuables…”

“Rest assured, the people we’ve caught here, I’ve had them send a message back to the city saying they’ve escaped safely. Even if there are suspicions, they have no other choice. Now, only those with enough means to buy a smuggling ticket are the ‘big fat sheep’…”

“The city’s garrison was once led by ‘Federation’s Third Mechanical Division’s Marshal Roy, and some of Roy’s Family are also contacting our gang to smuggle out. Once we’ve caught a few of them, we’ll surely be able to extract some information for you…”

“…”

Hearing this, the grim smiles rippled across the faces of the hundred-strong battalion of soldiers.

If Leonard Churchill were here, he would have recognized these as the elite troops of the Tenth Legion of Iris.
