Along the way, there were always guards on guard. [No pop-up novel website] These tall superpowers wearing gold-rimmed uniforms are like street trees planted in neat rows on both sides of the road, standing at a distance of one person every five meters. On the road less than a kilometer from the landing pad to the front door of the main house, there were nearly 500 guards standing.
This is undoubtedly an astonishing number. Five hundred superpowers, even if they are all low-level, the power together is enough to conquer the galaxy and subvert the general state power.
David turned a blind eye to everything around him. Apart from responding gently to Gu Hanhan's gaze, he obviously didn't care about the guards who greeted him. Obviously, this scene was not specially made for Gu Hanhan to see, but it was quite normal. David Duran has become accustomed to numbness.
But Gu Hanhan couldn't help but be shocked. Gu Hanhan thought she knew enough about the superpower family and the so-called evil habits of the Acropolis, but until this moment, she realized that her understanding of them was still too superficial. Su Yu also used a welcome queue of up to 800 people on Earth. When she entered the house for the first time on Lighthouse Planet, Anthony also arranged a large formation of 300 people for her, but Su Yu's 800-person girl Li Shufen The lady was a temporary extra hired by the university, and the three hundred people in Anthony's group were slaves that Matthew bought from the market. Gu Hanhan never knew that this team could all use superpowers.
After more than two months, Gu Hanhan finally understood what one of the valets said at the time, "Originally, I shouldn't have come out to be an eyesore to a lowly servant, but now I have to."
At this point, Gu Hanhan finally had a relatively clear and calm intuitive understanding of the true strength of the Acropolis nobles. The Duran family is so luxurious that they can use five hundred superpowers as guards at will, and the ornamental value of these "guards" is obviously much greater than others - because from a practical point of view, David, as a seventh-level superpower, -Dulan doesn't need any bodyguards at all. In other words, they used at least the power that could subvert a country or even more for ostentation. So how can this family's superficial power be so terrifying?
Obviously, the superpower family is not just one or a few terrorists with superior force who turn the planet into a black hole with a wave of their hands. It is a violent group of a large number of terrorists gathered together.
Thinking of this, Gu Hanhan couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at David Duran, who was now in his arms. If the rumors she heard from various sources were correct, the handsome young man beside her had been the "master" of this huge violent group since at least six or seven years ago.
David Duran is only 22 years old this year. He was less than 16 years old five years ago, and his super powers certainly have not reached advanced levels. Since he was still weak and young, he has had to control such a violent group filled with advanced superpowers and countless terrorists until now.
"What kind of life is that," Gu Hanhan thought, "Maybe his family will help him, just like Mr. Hong and Mr. Jose took care of Su Yu - David's family should be very remarkable, right? The Dulan family is a Thorny Branch family that has been developed for thousands of years..."
However, when he looked back and saw what David called the "relatives of the Dulan family" following behind him, Gu Hanhan suddenly became unsure of his inference again.
They entered the mansion from the central door. The palace was full of the grandeur of the pre-galactic era, with extremely high domes and wide stairs leading directly to the upper floors. Richly dressed servants stood around instead of the guards outside the door. David didn't stay here for long. He waited for the valet to take off Gu Hanhan's coat, then went upstairs to the living room. Here, the "relatives of the Duran family" were finally blocked out by Hebrews, the chief attendant.
The chief attendant, Hebrews, reported to David that the dinner had been prepared. The high priest Sittings was now accompanied by old Mr. Duran to visit the Duran showroom and could go to the restaurant at any time. Philip and several other senior vassals who wanted to accompany him at the dinner table had also arrived in advance.
"There is only one lady missing from the table with you," he said.
So, David looked at Gu Hanhan: "Will you come with me?"
Gu Hanhan understood the naturalness of this invitation. After returning from Derwent Manor, it seemed that she was the only one suitable to be David Duran's female companion - he had already terminated his engagement with Helena, no matter what the reason was. Considering that at the Manderley banquet, they had already openly appeared as boyfriend and girlfriend. David has paid too much for her, even if it is just for his face, she, as a "temporary mistress", has the obligation to help him for a while when he needs it, and wait until he gets back from the wrong path of love. withdraw.
However, this is the truth. When the matter came to pass, Gu Hanhan couldn't help but hesitate and found some excuses: "I'm going to eat with the priest, can I go? I'm a gangster with superpowers who has no religious beliefs at all. What does the temple teach? Everything is just hearsay. I haven’t even gone through the registration and certification process of the association. What can I say when I’m sitting with the priest of the National People’s Congress? It’s nothing for me to embarrass myself. What if people don’t like me and treat me as a heretic or something? …”
David couldn't help but smile. "If you don't want to go, don't go," he said happily. "Actually, if it weren't for the etiquette, I wouldn't be willing to eat at the same table with the high priest of Sitings." Then he told Hebrews: " It’s time to find a suitable replacement temporarily.”
Hebrew Heart said: The only suitable female companions for this occasion are single high-level female vassals or married elder relatives in the Duran family. Of course, the most suitable candidate is your contracted healer Helena.
But Hebrews took one look at David's cheerful expression full of indulgence, and he felt discouraged. Automatically filtering out the most suitable candidate, he suggested: "Mrs. Grace, your father's cousin's wife happens to be in the house right now."
David was noncommittal, which was regarded as acquiescence. The matter was thus settled.
So David went to the dressing room alone. The valet Charles, who had made a fortune for a while by letting Gu Hanhan happily wear the Dulan family's dress, had to regret that he had already prepared it for Gu Hanhan. His clothes were put away secretly.
But after David changed his clothes, he did not go directly to the banquet hall, but returned to the living room.
"I almost forgot." He said as soon as he entered the door. "There is a gift. It would be better to bring it over and put it next to you right now."
Hebrew, who came in later, whispered an order, and an attendant brought in a middle-aged man from outside the door. The man has a well-proportioned figure, wearing a black suit that is extremely well-tailored. He has broad shoulders and a muscular body that ordinary people don't have. He walked to the center of the living room, first knelt down to salute David, and then stood facing Gu Hanhan at the attendant's signal.
Gu Hanhan was surprised and looked at the man and then at David: "This is..."
"His name is Lucas, and he is a seventh-level combat guard," David introduced. "I want him to protect you from now on."
He raised his hand to the middle-aged man, and the impressive-looking seventh-level superpower user knelt down docilely and lowered his head to Gu Hanhan.
David further explained: "Originally, I wanted to choose a female guard, but unfortunately the guard office did not have a female level seven available immediately. The temporary deployment will take some time, so I can only use him as a fill-in for the time being."
Gu Hanhan was surprised and couldn't help but panic: "But I don't need bodyguards at all..."
David shook his head: "The situation on Beacon Star is tense now, and I am very worried about your safety. Only with the protection of level seven guards can I feel at ease."
Gu Hanhan opened his mouth: "It's not that exaggerated. Who would come to fight against me? It makes no sense to assassinate."
"You don't understand, Han Han, there is no perfect egg under the nest. Once the situation on Beacon Star becomes chaotic, no one will be able to stay out of it."
Hebrews reminded David that ten minutes had passed since the official start of the dinner. As the host, it was really inconvenient for him to be late for a long time, so David hurriedly said: "Is this okay first? We will talk about it later." Then he said leave.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Gu Hanhan: "You can use the room as you like. This is my private living room. No one else will come in without permission. But if you leave the West Wing, you must let Gal and Lu Cass is following you.”
As soon as David left, a large number of servants and guards followed him, and the room immediately became more than half empty, leaving Gu Hanhan in his "private living room" facing the seventh-level guards who were still kneeling on the ground. Lucas smiled bitterly.
Does she, Gu Hanhan, still need bodyguards? Not to mention the possibility that the tense situation on the lighthouse star that David mentioned was very unlikely to affect her. Not counting Su Daqian, who was extremely cruel and could not be contacted for a while, but Anthony was injured and still awesome when she came home. , Uncle Rosie, who has a seventh-level guardian system in the school, even if he goes out for a tryst, isn't it still with him, David Duran? She really doesn't need a seventh-level guard as a bodyguard for a good five-year-old girl!
"Just think of it as saving him, miss." Gal suddenly interrupted at this time and said that David had left him to take care of Gu Hanhan.
Gal met Gu Hanhan's puzzled eyes and explained to her: "This Lord Lucas was originally the guard beside the master, but he made a big mistake a while ago. Although the master is kind, because he has a seventh-level superpower For the sake of the master, he couldn't bear to kill him like this, but after committing an unforgivable crime, he could no longer be allowed to stay with his master, so the Family Affairs Bureau sent him back to the Guards Division 9 - the family's specialized management and training. A place where the camp and the slaves are. The slave center's decree states that all super-powered slaves who are sent back for crimes must receive the maximum endurance biochip electric shock every day until they can be used again. This afternoon, the master suddenly ordered to prepare for the young lady. Guard, the time is too urgent. The Guard Department has no more suitable candidates at the moment. I asked the chief attendant for instructions, so I sent him here to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes. Miss, if you refuse, the Guard Department will of course transfer others. The seventh level will come until you are satisfied. But if you agree to let him stay, miss, you can save him from the torture of biological electric shock."
The words "biological electric shock" made Gu Hanhan's breath hitch. Recalling the scene of Wu Qi's mental breakdown in the Three-Eyed Star Grassland, she still has lingering fears. She walked up to the middle-aged man. The man lowered his head and couldn't see his appearance at all. Only on the back of his neck, which was stretched forward because of his deep pause, could a vague protrusion the size of a grain of rice be seen.
"Sir Lucas?" Gu Hanhan knelt down beside him, "I don't want to comment on the unfortunate things you have encountered and the evil slavery system on Lighthouse Planet... I can let you stay as my bodyguard. But we have to make a stipulation that you can’t go where I won’t let you follow me.”
