383: conviction

*Clap* — — — —

Seeing this, Roy's mouth gradually opened wide, and the piece of chicken he had just put in his mouth fell onto the table.

"What is going on..."

In an instant, the other people in the cafeteria were also stunned in place.

Where is this? This is the GTI headquarters cafeteria!

Who could possibly ambush this place directly?

"Enemy attack!"

In an instant, many Operators who had been busy all day and were eating a late-night snack picked up their guns from beside their tables.

"Stop! Everyone, leave the cafeteria."

Outside the door, a man with a solemn and majestic appearance walked in with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing this man, all the Operators were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put down their firearms and saluted in unison.

There was no other reason. This person was none other than the GTI Supreme Commander.

Even Roy hurriedly put down his chopsticks, pulled Liu Yan to his feet, and then hurriedly saluted.

After saluting, the Operators looked longingly at the food they hadn't finished yet and helplessly prepared to get up and leave.

"Liu Yan, let's carry our plates. It cost ten thousand haf coins, don't waste it."

Roy whispered a reminder to Liu Yan. The latter nodded and picked up the braised chicken.

But just as the two of them stood up and moved a few steps, they gradually came to a halt.

Liu Yan's brows were tightly furrowed, and Roy's face was filled with disbelief.

Because the two of them clearly noticed that all the gun muzzles were following their movements.

These guns... were aimed at them?

Liu Yan and Roy couldn't help but look at each other. In each other's eyes, they both saw disbelief.

"Le... Leader, what does this mean?"

Roy looked at the majestic man with a dry laugh. The latter jerked his chin at Roy.

The meaning was clear: he wanted Roy to leave. Liu Yan also noticed this detail.

The gun lines were still locked on both of them, and now he was letting Roy leave. It was obvious that the target was only himself.

To Liu Yan's surprise, not only did Roy not leave, but he instead took a step towards him and raised his hand to shield him behind his back.

At this moment, apart from some gun lines from the window behind them, most of the gun lines were blocked by Roy's body.

"Leader, I don't quite understand. Can't we talk this over? Why resort to weapons..."

"We just ate a meal, we shouldn't have committed any crime, right?"

As Roy spoke, he gave a dry laugh towards the GTI Supreme Commander, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

However, the other party ignored him and said coldly: "Bee Doctor, this has nothing to do with you, leave immediately."

"Liu Yan went to Amiya Town to carry out an operation without authorization and engaged in a fierce battle with Hafke privately, plus he stole GTI secret equipment."

"Any one of these crimes is enough to sentence him to death!"

Hearing such false accusations against him, anger welled up in Liu Yan's heart. Just as he was about to make a move, his sleeve was tugged by Roy.

Immediately after, Roy hurriedly smiled and waved his hand at the Commander. "Impossible, who told you that? We've been together all day today."

"I took him to Dam Zero to treat the wounded." "Right?" After finishing, Roy did not forget to jerk his chin at Liu Yan.

The latter looked coldly at the majestic Commander and nodded silently.

Seeing Roy so stubborn, the Commander raised his hand and shouted: "Bring the video and show it to him!"

Soon, an Operator brought a light blue, semi-transparent tablet computer and stood in front of the two of them.

What was playing on it was exactly the video footage of Liu Yan's battle with Hafke.

"Now, what else do you have to say? Get out of the way!" The Commander frowned and waved his hand, signaling for Roy to get lost.

The latter only frowned and stared at the content on the video. Although he appeared confused on the surface, Roy had already cursed Mai Xiaowen countless times in his heart.

Damn it! Didn't she say it was all deleted?!

But since things had come to this, Roy could only bite the bullet and continue pretending. He raised his head, rubbed his chin with his hand, and looked very serious.

Then Roy waved his hands repeatedly. "Impossible!" "This is AI synthesized." "Look at this, he kicked someone's head until it exploded, how is that possible?"

Roy's reaction made many of the Operators surrounding the two couldn't help but frown.

"Bee Doctor, has your brain broken? Can't you see the current situation?" "Don't get yourself involved! Just move aside!"

"Brother Roy, don't let him drag you down..."

At this time, the cold-faced Commander spoke again. "Bee Doctor, there's no need to be stubborn. That was the original video just now. You went to the scene, so you should know better than anyone."

"There isn't a single record of his information in the world's databases." "Of course, GTI isn't incapable of accepting such people."

"But you've seen everything in the video. No one can be sure what forces are behind him."

"Furthermore, no one can be certain if the modified power propulsion device he was wearing at the time was stolen by him, or if he stole the design blueprints for the power propulsion device."

"At the same time, fighting a life-and-death battle with Hafke in Amiya Town in the name of GTI and causing the forest fire in Longbow Stream Valley—don't you have any idea of the impact of this?"

This time, no matter how much Roy wanted to help cover for Liu Yan, it was to no avail. The last thing he could do was to shield Liu Yan tightly behind him, showing his stance.

"Even if what happened later is true, there's a reason for it!" "Liu Yan was tricked into going to Amiya Town to carry out a mission by a traitorous Commander!"

"If he didn't fight back, was he supposed to just wait there and die?"

Hearing the words "traitorous Commander," the Supreme Commander's eyes flickered, but he still said: "That only proves that he didn't act without authorization when going to carry out the mission."

"But the result is the same."

At this moment, Liu Yan, who was standing behind Roy, had his chest heaving with every deep breath and long sigh. Clearly, Liu Yan was already on the verge of anger.

If it weren't for Roy holding him back tightly, Liu Yan would likely have acted impulsively again. And Roy, facing such cold-heartedness, was also starting to get angry.

"If that's how you're going to put it, fine." "I quit too!" Roy slammed the braised chicken onto the ground to show his determination.

The Supreme Commander glanced at Roy and asked with narrowed eyes: "Are you sure?"

Roy didn't answer, just stiffened his neck and nodded forcefully. "Good." "In that case, it's a deal."

Hearing the Supreme Commander's tone, which seemed to have been planned long ago, Roy was stunned. "Huh?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. And this also meant... their situation had become even worse.

Next, whether the other Operators would shoot him and Liu Yan would depend on their personal relationships...

But these Operators were different from Wang Yuhao or Kai Silva; when it came down to it, he had only met them once.

Roy stared into the Supreme Commander's eyes and slowly raised his right hand. As his wrist turned, three drones equipped with small smoke devices floated into the air.

Roy swept his determined gaze over the Operators surrounding them and whispered to Liu Yan beside him: "Don't worry, with me here, you won't die." "Count down from 3, 2, 1 in your head, and we'll run together."
