The footsteps of Aidan and Saul echoed on the bridge, steady and powerful. Aidan took out a communicator from his pocket, skillfully pressed a few buttons, and his voice resonated clearly throughout the entire spaceship via the communicator, carrying an unquestionable authority: "Gather, gather, head to the conference room immediately. We need to discuss the plan for the supply station robbery!" Aidan's words were filled with urgency and decisiveness, hinting at the imminent major operation.
As they entered the conference room, the air seemed to be filled with tension and anticipation. The door of the conference room closed behind them, and the fate of the ship was about to be discussed and decided in this enclosed space.
Not long after, Lina Valek hurriedly entered the meeting room. Her steps were quick, and her expression clearly showed dissatisfaction. As soon as she entered, she directly asked, "Did you just conduct some kind of torture in my maintenance room again?" Lina's voice carried a hint of displeasure and accusation, evidently unhappy with Aidan and Saul's possible behavior in her maintenance room.
Saul chose to remain silent on the issue, avoiding eye contact, clearly not wanting to get involved. At the same time, Aidan deftly changed the subject, asking, "What about the violet people?" His tone deliberately carried a hint of perfunctoriness, seemingly trying to avoid Lina's question.
At that moment, the door of the conference room opened again, and Violetta Zorro walked in slowly. Her face was expressionless, with a calm and mysterious look in her eyes. Her arrival made the atmosphere in the conference room even more solemn. She sat down quietly without saying a word, but her presence seemed to freeze the air in the entire conference room.
Lina's gaze shifted between Aidan and Saul. She seemed unsatisfied with their previous evasion and pressed on, "You still haven't answered my question. What exactly happened in my maintenance room?" Her tone became firmer, clearly demanding a clear answer. She stared directly at Aidan and Saul, waiting for their response, creating a tense atmosphere in the conference room.
Aidan and Saul's eyes met briefly, and a silent understanding passed between them, as if they were silently discussing how to respond to Lina's questioning. Saul eventually broke the silence, raising his hand to answer, trying to maintain a composed attitude: "We weren't really interrogating, we just borrowed your maintenance room for a discussion."
His voice carried a hint of unease, as if he was trying to make this explanation sound reasonable.
However, the bloodstains still not completely cleaned on Saul's hands became direct evidence of his lies, exposing the falsehood of his words. This obvious contradiction made his explanation seem even more far-fetched.
Seeing the bloodstains on Saul's hands, Lina's anger was instantly ignited. Her face turned ashen, and her eyes flashed with fury: "What have you done in my workshop?" Her voice carried obvious anger and distrust.
Aidan quickly stepped in to try to ease the situation. He casually responded, "We just wanted to give him a little scare, but it's really not a big deal!" Aidan tried to downplay the seriousness of the situation, but at the same time, his attitude revealed his disdain for their recent actions.
This response clearly did not appease Lina's anger. She was extremely displeased with Aidan and Saul's behavior in her maintenance room, and her expression showed strong disapproval of their reckless and irresponsible actions. The atmosphere in the meeting room became even more tense, and Lina's anger seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
At this moment, Lina's actions were swift and decisive. She took out her own tablet and slammed it heavily on the conference table, loudly demanding, "If it was just a scare, why did the notification for the gas valve opening pop up, huh?" Her voice was full of accusation and anger. The screen of the tablet displayed a warning message: "Gas valve in the maintenance room opened at 4:28 PM." This information seemed like a direct accusation of Aidan and Saul, making their lies appear even more fragile.
Lina's anger flared up in the conference room, her gaze piercing Aidan and Saul as if to expose their lies and actions. Her voice became sharper, filled with accusation: "What the hell were you two up to in my maintenance room? What's the deal with the gas valve opening? This is not a trivial matter!" Her finger pointed at the warning message on the tablet, as if waiting for an irrefutable explanation.
Aidan and Saul faced Lina's question with even more embarrassment. They exchanged a helpless look, seemingly silently discussing how to respond. In this tense atmosphere, Violet suddenly spoke up. Her tone was calm but carried a hint of coolness in revealing the truth: "Aidan was drinking inside, and when the airlock opened, everything inside was a mess. Well... Mr. Aidan, shouldn't you take responsibility for this?" Violet's words seemed to reveal her dissatisfaction and lack of trust in Aidan's actions.
Upon hearing Violet's words, Aidan's expression became even more grim. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he retorted, "Hey! I told you not to use your mind-reading ability recklessly!" His voice carried clear anger and displeasure towards Violet's interruption.
At this moment, Lina's anger reached its boiling point. She took out a wrench from her waist, her eyes flashing with rage. Climbing onto the conference table in a fit of anger, she raised the wrench, ready to strike Aidan. The atmosphere in the conference room reached its peak. Her figure loomed threateningly on the table, the wrench in her hand drawing a dangerous arc in the air, aiming straight at Aidan. The sound of the wrench cutting through the air made everyone in the conference room hold their breath, anticipating the impending conflict.
Just as the wrench was about to strike Aidan, his reaction was extremely swift. Aidan instantly lowered his head, avoiding the fatal blow. The wrench barely grazed his hair, creating a slight breeze. In this critical moment, Aidan realized the seriousness of the situation, his face instantly turning serious.
Aidan quickly raised his hands in a gesture of reconciliation, his voice filled with sincerity and urgency: " Lina, I'm sorry! I promise to clean up the maintenance room!" There was a hint of panic and urgency in his tone, clearly trying to appease Lina's anger.
Lina's anger had not completely subsided, but with Aidan's urgent apology, her movements finally stopped, the wrench suspended in the air. Her eyes still held dissatisfaction and warning, as if weighing Aidan's sincerity. The others in the meeting room also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and the atmosphere eased slightly.
