Chapter 698 - Rejected (2/2)
Wolman got out of the car and opened the car door for Han Xiao. Then, he shared a few words with the warden before leading the way.
This prison was very technologically advanced. It used many galactic imprisonment measures. It was very quiet; the only sound was the buzzing made by the mechanical guards passing by. The ceiling was equipped with all kinds of automatic weapons that would lock on to any target with a heat signature. The security was tight.
Han Xiao appreciated the surroundings as he walked and learned quite a few things. He decided to go back and modify his Happy Little House after settling this issue.
After walking through many prison zones, they arrived at the deepest single person cell. They then stopped before the alloy cell door.
“The person you want to see is inside.” Wolman nodded.
The warden opened the cell door and let Han Xiao and the others in. The space inside was not narrow. It was split into two areas with high strength transparent glass.
Compared to Reynold’s photos, Rossellin’s hair was now cut to centimeters short, and she wore a ragged prisoner uniform. However, her appearance was still as young; time did not leave any marks on her. With just one look, Han Xiao knew that this woman’s highest attribute was most likely Charm, maybe comparable with Feidin’s.
The cell was dark. As the strong light from outside the door shined in, Rossellin narrowed her eyes uncomfortably and looked at the few people on the other side of the glass. Although she was a prisoner, her face was extremely calm.
“Hmm, it has been 147 days since you guys last came to me. What do you want me to do this time?”
“Still recognize me?” Reynold asked.
Rossellin looked at Reynold. After looking for a while with narrowed eyes, shock appeared on her face.
“Are you possibly… my long dead dad?”
“I’m Reynold!”
“Oh, brother, so you’re still alive.” Rossellin sighed with disappointment as if she was not surprised about Reynold appearing there at all. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to save you,” Reynold said with a deep voice.
“After not seeing you for decades, you’re still just as stupid.” Rossellin pointed at the warden on the side with her mouth and said, “Do you think he’s deaf?”
“His Excellency Black Star will try to get you out.”
“Black Star?” Her brows raised slightly. “Never heard of him.”
Han Xiao kept quiet at the side with a strange look on his face. The reunion of these two siblings was different from what he imagined. Shouldn’t they be hugging each other and crying?
Looking at Rossellin, he was still surprised.
He had not expected the future pillar member of the Silver Revolutionary Army to be a family member of one of his officers.
The Silver Revolutionary Army was the main storyline of a big version. The target of their revolution was not something small but the three Universal Civilizations. Since they were revolutionaries, they had to gain support from the people. Rossellin was an irreplaceable member known as the Preacher.
Even if he did not come, sooner or later, someone else would develop an interest in her ability and save her.
Rossellin was a key character of a major storyline, so she was of great importance to Han Xiao. Maybe he could interfere with the Silver Revolutionary Army storyline. According to the time, the Silver Revolutionary Army had not formed yet.
Even without Rossellin’s future identity, she still had huge potential. Although her Esper ability did not have much combat capability, she was an irreplaceable special talent in the fields of poisoning people’s minds and inciting the masses.
Her ability looked ordinary on surface, but the final form of this Esper ability was more than qualified to be listed in the Super High Risk Esper Ability Restriction Treaty. It could turn an ideology terrifyingly contagious and conquer not with force but culture!
Although it had no lethality, it was a horrifying weapon that could overthrow any government!
Rossellin was born to be someone talented in revolution and religion!
Of course, it would also be useful in reinforcing the position of rulers or governments.
The people walked out of the cell, and the warden closed the cell door behind them.
“Your Excellency Black Star, do you have any other requests?” Wolman asked.
Han Xiao glanced at Reynold before touching his chin. “Indeed, I do have a favor to ask. I hope to bail Rossellin out. As you can see, she’s the sister of this officer of mine. According to my knowledge, she did not break the Hutt Civilization’s laws. You guys are just imprisoning her in place of the Ceciris civilization. As long as you’re willing to give bail, I can have a talk with the Ceciris people myself.”
“Hehe, this is beyond my jurisdiction. I will have to report to the upper echelons. Please give me a moment.”
Wolman was not surprised at all; he had already guessed Black Star’s intention earlier. He went to the side, took out the communicator, and called his superiors. After talking for a while, he hung up and went to Han Xiao with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry. This is an internal matter of our civilization. Rossellin is an important prisoner, and we cannot accept any form of bail.”
Although Star System Civilizations treated Han Xiao with respect and wanted to establish a good relationship with him, they would not accept all of his requests. If it was just a normal prisoner, it would not be a big issue. However, Rossellin was an important chess piece even to the Hutt Civilization. Of course, they were not going to give her to Han Xiao just because he requested it.
“I see, never mind then.” Han Xiao shook his head with disappointment.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Wolman had a bright smile on his face, but he was sneering in his mind.
You’re still not a Beyond Grade A, yet you want us to release someone with one sentence?
Do you really think you’re someone?
