Chapter 595: Chapter 589: Plan – Part One
“In any case, if Your Highness doesn’t want all this to happen, you’ll need to reclaim the whole planet. Once you’ve inherited your own legacy, any intrusions into your territory will be considered an act of war, and the Federation will deploy its fleet to quell the rebellion on your behalf!” the brawny man declared resolutely.
Finn Lewis squinted, tilting his head in thought before asking, “The man who wants to kill me isn’t just doing it for that reason, is he? Since this is a claimed territory, he couldn’t possibly be implementing such plans here, could he?”
“Indeed, Your Highness. Strictly speaking, he is regarded as your son.” The brawny man responded curtly.
“Son? My son?” Finn Lewis spluttered in shock, spitting out his water, “If I had such a son, I’d have left him to die in the first place!”
“Your Highness, this truth is irreversible. According to the Federation’s law, you have no blood ties with him based on what you’ve understood as of now. In fact, this relationship carries only symbolic significance. He dared to attack you, which clearly shows he doesn’t regard you as his father. What he’s after is the relationship between both of you and the right to inherit your stellar territory.” The burly man explained quickly.
Finn Lewis understood the situation: whatever the case, he’d rather crush this unexpected and unneeded ‘son’ under his foot.
“Alright, I would like to know — who are you two?” Finn Lewis turned his attention to the two men for the first time, refusing to believe their appearance here was without ulterior motives, and expressed his wish to know their reasons.
“Your Highness, we were with the Regulatory Bureau, part of the enforcement squad. Now...we are mercenaries,” the brawny man stated earnestly after a moment’s hesitation.
“So what do I need to do to inherit my planet?” Finn Lewis pondered before asking.
“It’s straightforward. You just need to reach the capital of the Federation, in the Milky Way Galaxy. There, a great Federation authority will verify your identity and issue all the paperwork for lineage formalities.” The brawny man responded quickly.
“So, could you escort me there?” Finn Lewis casually asked.
“Of course, we could arrange transport and assist you. Although we’re no longer part of the Regulatory Bureau, procuring a flight back to Earth isn’t too challenging,” the brawny man quickly reassured.
“What do I call you?” Finn Lewis asked, nodding.
“I’m Dunn Monty, and he is Thomas Calvin.” The brawny man reported both their names.
“I see. Thanks for everything today, but now I want to know— will attacks like these become more frequent?” Finn Lewis asked.
“No. Any entry into star systems like Earth’s has strict limitations. Any flight to such areas falls within the Regulatory Bureau’s scope. However, as the star region is rather remote, there are bound to be a few loopholes. There might be small spacecraft transporting personnel through these loopholes as they emit very faint warp signals, making it fairly easy to avoid detection. Once on Earth, however, they could use only cold weapons for their attacks. If they were to use firearms or other heat-emitting weapons, it could easily alert the detection systems of the Regulatory Bureau in space,” the brawny man, Dunn Monty, replied with certainty.
“I understand. If I can acquire the inheritance here, providing help for you to regain your identities won’t be an issue. But the premise is that I have gained my inheritance. Only then could you regain your identities. So, up next, I want you to provide me with a detailed explanation of the Galactic Federation.” Finn Lewis readily agreed to their request.
