Chapter 70 Departure
"Oh, hello, Laura."
William scratched his face awkwardly. Last time Steve had brought his daughter to visit him, but I just learned about the child's name.
"I really hope I can be like you too."
Laura did not continue William's words and continued on her own.
Helplessly, William had to scratch his head, followed her words, and asked, "So, do you want to be a plumber, too?"
Laura shook her head, "I just want to be with my father."
William was stunned and suddenly thought of the gossip that the bearded man had told him at that time.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Laura glanced at him and pursed her lips.
"Where is your father?"
"My father... died, and when I was six years old he was killed by the interstellar villain he had once captured."
Laura's brows frowned slightly, and her hands slowly clenched up unconsciously and held them in her chest.
She was silent for a while, lowered her head, and after a while, she said, "Sorry..."
William was calm. After all, the distant father seemed to be only in Tian Mark's mouth for him.
"Don't worry," William said. "Your dad will come back intact."
William said, pointing at himself
"I will protect him."
Laura's eyes widened slightly, she was stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha" she laughed so hard that she seemed to be unable to stop.
William didn't say anything, and laughed, looking quietly at Laura in front of him.
After a while, Laura seemed to be tired of laughing, and tears from the corners of Kai's eyes stopped.
She just thought it was William who was playing a joke with her, but looked at William, but nodded solemnly.
"Then please."
After saying that, she stood up.
"I'll leave first. Before my father leaves, I want to say a few more words to him."
She waved at William "Then... will we see you when you come back?"
William nodded and waved his hand, "Well, goodbye."
Then Laura left, left her seat, walked out of the water bar, and trotted to Steve who was talking to Osed by the aircraft.
Through the huge glass, the figures of both men were in the distance. William could not hear what they said, but the feeling that Steve showed from his movements and expressions could still see his love for his daughter.
"That's Mr. Steve's daughter, sir?"
Robert took two glasses of snow mud and looked in the direction William was looking.
"Hmm..." William nodded, took his own snow mud, and sucked hard.
Robert's expression suddenly became weird. He looked at William, and tentatively said, "That child is a beauty, isn't it, sir?"
With a "puff", William was choked hard, "Cough cough cough cough"
He coughed several times, raised his head, and looked at Robert, who was still winking at him.
As an adult in his actual age in his twenties, William naturally would not have any thoughts about little kids who had not even developed.
However, at this moment, in front of him, this extremely simple and hardworking assistant actually made such a "despicable" expression for the first time.
William's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't help swallowing and was silent for a long time.
On the other hand, Robert saw William's expression of shock and silentness, thinking that William was shy after being discovered because of his little thoughts.
Robert smiled in his heart, "After all, in this kind of thing, our Mr. William is still a ten-year-old child..."
"Robert..."
After both of them thought they understood what each other was thinking for a minute, William spoke with difficulty.
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"…………” Robert was silent for a while, and slowly shook his head "No."
He couldn't help feeling regretful, but unfortunately he had no experience, otherwise he would have helped the husband.
"..." William received a reply, and his heart was even more silent.
"Go and find a girlfriend... When I come back, I wish you are already out of singleness."
After hearing this, Robert couldn't help but nodded heavily, "Yes! Sir, I will not let you down!"
(Do you want me to have experience first and then teach him? Don't worry, sir, I will definitely help you)
William "…………”
Robert "………”
After the two of them were speechless, Robert sat down quietly and started drinking the snow mud.
…………………
"The maintenance is completed, and we will proceed to the next step..."
"Fuel replenishment is completed, and we will proceed to the next step..."
"The calibration route is completed, and we will proceed to the next step..."
…………………
William stood next to Steve, listening to the maintenance staff checking and confirming over and over again, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and his mood became excited.
Compared to the last time I went to space by smuggling, this time my mood was even more complicated.
Steve seemed to feel the ups and downs in William's heart, lowered his head, and his rough and powerful hands covered William's shoulders heavily.
William looked up and looked at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Behind Steve, the team he led was ready.
Although they were a small team, they were as large as fifty people. They were all well-trained agents. Even if they learned that William would perform the mission with them, there was no doubt or doubt at all.
Everyone looked ahead, waiting for Steve's orders quietly.
"Okay, Steve."
After the inspectors finished reporting, Osed turned his head and walked towards Steve.
"The inspection has been completed and you can set off at any time."
"I understand" Steve smiled and turned around and gestured to the team members behind him.
"And you, boy."
Osed looked at William again.
"Hmm?" William was stunned, as if he didn't expect that there was something wrong with him.
Osed waved at a plumber holding a metal box beside him.
The plumber got the order and trotted all the way and delivered the box to the two of them.
“Inside is a set of equipment specially made for you.”
Osed grinned, "After all, our uniforms are not in stock, as miniature as you."
William couldn't help but feel ashamed when he listened to his words. It seemed that the commander in front of him had no awareness of being "mini" than him.
Suddenly, Osede blinked at him, "As Chief Max said, I have put a lot of thought into your equipment."
Just as William opened his eyes wide and was curious about what he said.
Osed took out another small box from his pocket
"And this..."
The small box was thrown to William. This William looked very familiar. It was the container that Rex gave him at that time.
Chapter completed!
