“The central control computer of the H1 gave out the confidential information answer very strangely, but through the monitoring devices of the school, the Secret Service found out that this man is called Sheilor.” Steward Ken replied, “And the finding by the family, this man entered into the Pear Garden university last year, he is recommended by professor Ken.”
“Professor Ken? The designer of the H1?” Charlie Tai had the blank slightly, asked, “After all, it’s him, no wonder that student could enter into the H1. That student knows about my identity?”
“Principal Nolan is a prudent people, it shouldn’t have this kind of problem happened.” When mentioned the principal of the Pear Garden university, steward Ken didn’t have any too respectful meaning in his tone.
Charlie Tai silenced for a moment, thought of last night that ate his roe cake intruder, thought of the less than stellar taste of the other party, especially thought that empty coffee cup… It meant that he touched that man’s mouth indirectly, Charlie Tai felt incomparably annoyed and angry in his heart, but he didn’t reveal anything on his face, just taunted calmly, “Prudent? I can’t tell it out at all.”
Charlie Tai of course wouldn’t put the principal of the Pear Garden university in his eyes, even couldn’t be said that he had the respect for the designer of the H1, but only because his parents met in this university before, and his parents had the good relationship with the principal and the professor Ken, so he didn’t express too indifferent in front of the steward.
Principal Nolan went the Capital District to attend the special meeting of the Ministry of Education, about the problem of that accidental intruder, they couldn’t have any appropriate disposition right away. Charlie Tai suddenly thought of that words which the steward said just now, the First Military Academy will be going to visit the Pear Garden university? He frowned his eyebrows, smelled a share of pleasing taste which he didn’t like at all.
Tai family had already been staying on the top of the human society for too many years, it’s so long that even Charlie Tai couldn’t remember all the history of his family sometimes, thirty seven Constitution Calendars ago, the Tai family ended the rule to the human society, since then, now matter how the form of government would change, even the present federation was established six hundred years ago, they still kept some very important tradition all the time. Similar to the tradition of these big families, the several big military academies of the federation actually were also established before the present federal system. From ages ago, the descendant children of the Tai family, all studied in the First Military Academy, this was a kind of tradition, a glorious tradition recognized by both sides. But the only exception was more than twenty years ago, the last generation master of the Tai family… against all the people’s expectation, chose the Pear Garden university. Because the last master of the Tai family was exactly Charlie Tai’s father, he was a literature and art breath very strong character, didn’t have any interest in the politics, military and economy these kinds of things, and he also seldom took part in these kinds of things, so besides the surprised and lost, the First Military Academy also had to accept this reality reluctantly.
The problem was, now the prospective master of the Tai family began to study and experience in the human society once again, but gave up the First Military Academy once again, chose the Pear Garden university, this let those big bosses of the First Military Academy to feel humiliated, they didn’t know what on earth the stood high above the masses Tai family thought about, presumably the matter about that they would come to visit soon, should also have the relation with the hiding in the Pear Garden university Charlie Tai.
Steward Ken saw that his master fell into meditation, guessed out very exquisitely what he was thinking, so he explained in a soft voice, “Where the First Military Academy had the news from, we still can’t find out yet.”
“It’s likely that they guessed it out, after all, there are a lot of great people in the First Military Academy, they just could let my father to choose the Pear Garden university helplessly in those years, how can they possibly not remember this kind of humiliation.” Charlie Tai said calmly, “Since even Chavis and Youzhi could know that I am in the Pear Garden, it may be assumed that there are few people not knowing in the whole federation.”
“Young Chad is somewhat damn shame. That couple brother and sister have already come to the Coastal state once several months ago, it’s said that they caused some small troubles in the city… Master, do you think that we should give a warning to the Ministry of National Defense side?”
Although steward Ken was only a steward of the Tai family, but besides in front of his madam and master, no matter which any dignitary of the federal government he was facing, he still would behave extremely arrogant just like the nobleman in those novels. Warning seemed to be just a mild word, but if this word was coming out from the Tai family, that would represent the extremely mighty pressure and execution, probably a lot of people would lose their future, or… Even life.
Charlie Tai looked at steward Ken calmly, in his calm eyes had the deep coercion faintly, he said every single word precisely, “Don’t forget, the era of the imperial authority have already passed thirty seven thousand years. The present federation is a government by law society, I am only a descendant of the Tai family, and it’s impossible to be what a real prince. I don’t want to warn you one more time, it’s impossible for the past glory to come back, you also don’t try to think about this, moreover, as far as I can see, those glories were just the shame and guilty in the slightest.”
“The history couldn’t be turned back the clock, at least wouldn’t be in my hands.”
Charlie Tai put down the information about that called Sheilor intruder, narrowed his eyes to warn his steward. The reason why he would warn him so seriously, that’s because he knew it clearly, once he expressed his opinion about something or somebody, the spread all over the whole federation terrifying influence of the Tai family would play its role, but he didn’t want to be such like that. Especially that couple brother and sister of the Chad family, although he didn’t consider that couple brother and sister as his friends, but when he was early youth, this couple brother and sister accompanied with him, and the attitude to him was always respect, he didn’t want that the other party would have any disaster just because they wanted to get close to him.
And his mother seemed to say it once at will after the meal, Youzhi Chad this girl should have the good capability to give birth to children by looking at her ass. Although Charlie Tai was very uncomfortable to his mother this kind of like picking mating female tone. But he also knew it clearly, if Youzhi had already become one of the possible targets in his mother’s eyes, then if steward Ken did something in private for him, it would cause some big troubles.
“The thing about last night, entirely confidential.” Charlie Tai tapped his finger couple times lightly on the information about Sheilor, emphasized his tone and said, “Don’t let the people of the family to know about it, I don’t want my mother to worry about this.”
Steward Ken hesitated for a moment and then gave him his promise, then he said, “Before we can remove the permission authority of that called Sheilor student, master you can’t go into the H1 area any more.”
“I don’t need you to manage my business, since he is the student professor Ken recommended, it may be assumed that my mother also wouldn’t be nervous even she knew about it.” Charlie Tai said, “Those agents of the Secret Service, also let them to stay a bit farther away, don’t always follow behind me, I have some difficulties even when I breathe. I am already the prisoner in this villa, but I still can’t let those guards to stare at me all the time.”
“That the agents of the Secret Service is the goodwill which president Hoover coveys to madam…”
Not waited until steward Ken to finish his words, Charlie Tai ha
d his eyebrows frowned up, “Hoover this idiot, is doomed to step down from the president next year, could it be said that he still counts on my mother to continue to help him to stay in the office?”
“Of course president Hoover doesn’t have such a huge ambition, he just hopes that he could go into the foundation after he left office.” Steward Ken picked up the topic very naturally, said seriously, “Madam will meet with senator Palmer tomorrow, discuss the matters about the election next year.”
“Palmer is the person who my mother and I all admire very much.” Charlie Tai silenced for a moment and said, “But the more she admire, my mother would have the disappointments the more, an righteous and excellent politician, how could he be willing to be influenced too much by those families and tycoons?”
“Maybe madam will make out a very tempting price.”
“At most both sides only can reach some kind of compromise.” Charlie Tai didn’t want to think about those nuisances which a seventeen young man shouldn’t think about originally, he walked to the bedroom on the second floor.
The color of the sky outside was getting dark gradually, after rest a period of time, he would still be ready to go to the H1 according to the usual routine. He didn’t want his mother to know about this thing, on the one hand, that’s because he wanted to have some space, secret and freedom belonged to himself; on the other hand, because he didn’t want his mother to know the news that professor Ken was still alive subconsciously. As to Sheilor, he never took notice of, in the opinion of this noble childe, that intruder was only a retired soldier with the extremely good luck, and also possessed the… Extremely lousy lifestyle, perhaps… Also with some interesting?
The walking to the upstairs Charlie Tai had a flicker of mischievous smile floated on the corners of his mouth.

The rarest food materials Sheilor ever had in his this life, probably would be the buffalo which he butchered with his own hands, of course it’s far from how high the lifestyle which it would be. On his tongue, the precious Caspian roe was just a kind of very disgusting and like salted smelly egg yellow taste, and the granules were a bit too big, that increased the disgusting feeling a bit more. His taste buds couldn’t adapt to those tiny explosions, thus he would remind that student on the paper: The cakes you brought seemed to go bad.
That night, Sheilor still lost sleep, the experiment in the H1 area ended in failure at last, the magical power in his body didn’t show that kind of intrepid strength like what uncle did when he used it on operating the mecha. He was not sure whether it’s problem of his own ability or he went the wrong way. But that kind of subtle possibility still let him to keep thinking and getting excited, he kept thinking, if not for the tremble of the fingers was too strong, caused two operating touch screens broken, whether he could really find out some wonderful things? In addition to this, the more he thought about was, he ate other people’s the night snack last night, he felt very ashamed, because taking without asking is stealing… Although he had stolen the door of the coffee shop with Levi before, but he did install it back at the same night. Sheilor decided that today he would bring some night snacks for that student as the compensation, but just didn’t know whether the other party would still stay up late tonight.
What he wanted to experience was the relation between the mecha operation and the power in his body, that kind of mysterious tremble in his body absolutely couldn’t be seen by other people-- For security, it’s impossible for Sheilor to go into the H1 area at the daytime, so he waited in the gatehouse all day long, until when it’s all quiet at dead of night, then he carried his that grinded somewhat whitish backpack, came to the most remote place of the Pear Garden in the dark.
Before he walked into that room on the right, Sheilor walked into the lounge first. Saw that big “Read” word on the paper, he couldn’t help to laugh out, he thought in his heart that this student also was a funny man. He saw that there were still the hot coffee and cakes on the tea table, Sheilor hurried up to move his eyes away, he was really almost choked to death by this kind of cake.
Put down the paper back which had the soybean mild and deep-fried dough cake inside, Sheilor took a look at that closed door, then walked into the room belonged to himself.
