Chapter 462: Taking Over My Father's Legacy
Before the fighting in Alaska began again, He Kui finished a lively dinner and then took his shuttle to the port of April City.

He arrived at the perfect time. As soon as he arrived at the high-level military port, he ran into Lux who also got off the Silver Wind transport ship.

"Ms. Lacus, it's too dangerous to ride on a transport ship like this."

The pure white fuselage and streamlined design do look nice, but it is also very dangerous. After all, it is a civilian space transport ship and is not armed at all.

But it also fits Lux's identity.

"Is Councillor He worried about Lux~?"

Lux, who had just gotten off the ship, did not look tired at all from the long journey. Instead, she curled her lips and revealed an elegant smile.

"Yes."

When Lux heard He Kui say it so bluntly, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"Well, since He Kui has come to greet me, would you like to take a walk together?"

"of course."

As they were talking, they came to an empty corridor at the port.

In the zero-gravity area, two people grabbed the conveyor belt one after another.

"Why doesn't He Kui drive out the warship?"

Lux, who was floating in front like a fairy, smiled.

"He himself said that Lux didn't pay attention to safety."

"It's unsafe to drive that car because it's too big of a target."

He Kui was stunned for a moment after saying this, and then he couldn't help laughing.

The two of them were thinking the same thing and did not dwell on this topic any longer. He Kui smoothly changed the subject and continued.

"How's Orb's trip going this time?"

"It's quite rewarding. We should be able to reach an agreement."

Since He Kui also became a member of parliament, there was no need to keep anything secret anymore, so Lux no longer concealed a lot of information.

"But a strange thing happened."

"What's so strange?"

Hearing Lux's words, He Kui asked with a normal expression.

"I met a little kid. He looked a lot like your friend to me."

The relaxed tone seemed not to be a test but just a casual chat.

"Which friend?"

"Aegis."

"Impossible? How could Aegis be a child?"

"That's right, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Lux's eyes remained calm, and after hearing what He Kui said, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

As they were talking, he and Lux ​​unknowingly walked to a VIP room for rest next to the port.

In the VIP room with only two people, He Kui hugged Lux ​​smoothly, and their bodies were spinning closely in the gravity-free space.

Lux did not resist. Her sweet and soft body leaned on He Kui's strong body, and her slender and boneless hands wrapped around He Kui's waist.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lux."

Hearing this, Lux, who was hugging He Kui, had a rare flash of tenderness on her face in this warmth, but soon it was replaced by a half-smile.

"Is that your expression?"

He Kui did not answer when he heard this. He just hugged Lux, released his hands and pressed on his bracelet.

"Mark the knife is almost done."

"Hmm~"

Lux also loosened her arms around He Kui and rested her delicate chin on He Kui's arm. She received the information sent by He Kui on the bracelet with satisfaction.

"He Kui, don't you want to ask me what I want to do with this machine?"

"It's all about maintaining world peace."

Even though Lux had a lot of thoughts, at least in the big picture, their values ​​and goals were similar, which was also the basis for their in-depth cooperation.

"Then thank you very much for your trust, Lux."

Lux laughed.

There are still many things that have not been concluded about He Kui and Aegis.

But her intuition told her that He Kui was definitely not that simple.

Of course, judging from the current situation, he is not a simple person.

While the girl was still thinking, He Kui had already kissed her lips.

But what was different from usual was that He Kui's broad hands with slightly prickly callouses even quietly touched her waist and gently stroked it, as if teasing her.

Lux did not stop him, but started to attack in a slightly immature way, imitating He Kui.

Of course, no matter how powerful Lux is, she still lacks a lot in terms of experience.

Soon he was defeated, gasping for breath.

But she was not discouraged. Her bright eyes under her pink hair still looked at him brightly. Her innocent gaze seemed to be trying to do something to him.

"You have a lot of experience, Councillor He."

"good."

"Humph~"

With a delicate snort, Lux forced herself to let go of He Kui.

"Although I can't say the details, I will definitely use the Mark knife you gave me for the right purpose."

Lux said seriously.

"oh, I understand now."

He Kui also had an idea of ​​what Lux would do if she had armed forces. Helping with defense or espionage activities, that was all.

Moreover, although this Mark knife is not good-looking, it is extremely light and can maintain high-speed cruising for a long time even in the atmosphere. It is indeed suitable for the Klein faction's secret activities.

"But does He Kui really not consider joining the Klein faction?"

Lux's voice is full of twists and turns, as beautiful as singing.

"If you join, maybe you can take over my father's mantle in the future, and we~"

Lux's words were sincere at this time. If He Kui joined, she could indeed get closer to He Kui, and through subtle influence, she was confident that He Kui would forget about them.

“I still have things I want to accomplish.”

He Kui said softly and kissed Lux ​​on the lips again.

Even if he joins the Klein faction and accepts Klein's resources, others may not necessarily obey him.

In the end, you still have to start over and risk losing Patrick's support.

The cost outweighs the gain and it does not help his goal of becoming Speaker.

"Okay, then, if He Kui changes his mind, he can come to Lux. You are welcome anytime."

After Lux finished speaking, she turned her head and kissed He Kui lip to lip again.

She still liked this person very much. Although he was still a little mysterious, he was strong and warm, and he was reassuring both as a partner and a companion.

And he had always been able to tug at her heartstrings lately.

Finally, not long after receiving the gift from He Kui and saying goodbye, Lux also returned home.

"Father, this is the briefing for this trip. Orb's attitude has softened."

"But we probably won't engage in too deep cooperation, and we won't conclude a mutual defense treaty."

In the huge study, Lux's voice echoed.

“It’s within common sense.”

Siegel was not too surprised when he heard this.

Since they say they are neutral, of course they won’t sign. If they sign again, it will not be cooperation but an alliance.

They certainly won't do that.
But overall it's a good thing.
