Chapter 1075 Stryker’s Secret
There were footsteps coming from the room outside.
Strike was woken up by the noise. It was now the night cycle time of the orbital station, and the wall lamp had been turned off by the automatic control program.
At this time, the Catachan colonel had a pile of data pads and documents on his chest. He looked at them an hour ago and couldn't restrain his sleepiness and fell asleep.
Strike stood up quietly and put the datapad and files on the wall shelf. His bolt pistol and Catachan machete hung on a wooden sculpture in the outside room. He didn't have a weapon handy, so he took out a compact laser pistol from his shoe cabinet and inserted it into his belt.
After putting on his boots, he wondered if he should put on his jacket, but decided against it.
The door of the personal cabin was ajar, and a faint light shone into the dark cabin from the outside.
It seems that someone is looking through his things again.
Strike immediately stood up, kicked the door open, grabbed the intruder behind the door, turned the person's body, then grabbed the other person's arm with all his strength, and gave the person a hard slap in the face With the last punch,
his movements were smooth and fluid, as fast as a space warrior.
Never underestimate the Catachan's hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
The robed intruder was still struggling, but after being thrown into the air and hitting the circular observation window, he became unresponsive.
"Where's the little thief!"
The lights suddenly turned on, and Stryker realized that there were two uninvited guests standing behind him, and heard the sound of the laser magazine being recharged.
He subconsciously turned around quickly and slammed into the nearest person, knocking him directly to the ground.
The other man tried to pull out a gun, but Stryker quickly knocked the other man's gun away, and then punched the man in the jaw, smashing it to pieces.
But it was only now that he realized that the man he knocked down in front of him seemed to be wearing a strange uniform.
The man broke away from the man in robes who fell on him, and bumped directly into Stryker, but the Catachan dodged, and even grabbed the opponent's hands, and gently He twisted the opponent's elbow, then punched the person on the bridge of the nose, knocking him to the ground.
Then Stryker took out his compact pistol and looked around the room.
Now two men in uniform and one man in robes fell to the ground.
The door finally opened.
"I think many people would not be happy to see violence happening in front of their eyes, Colonel."
The man who walked into the room said gently.
Strike raised his gun and pointed it at the man's head.
“I think many people will do the same thing as me when encountering illegal break-ins and home invasions, and identify themselves to me.”
The figure slowly walked into the light.
A man, very tall, wearing a black uniform: black boots, black breeches, black jacket, gray-white hair tightly sticking to his forehead, gentle, thin face with sharp edges.
On his collar, there was a logo that was very dazzling, but it made Stryker break into a cold sweat.
The Inquisition——
"I am Lennart Meyers, High Inquisitor of the Inquisition."
Without saying a word, Stryker put down the gun and placed it on the table beside him.
The Inquisitor smiled at him.
“You didn’t ask me for documents related to the accident, so do you believe me?”
“I’ve heard of you, please forgive me, after all, the incident happened suddenly, and——”
Lennart walked into the room slowly and kicked one of the followers who fell on the ground.
The guy was still groaning in pain on the ground.
"Get out of here, you two too."
The guy with his face covered in blood immediately ran out of the room in a panic. "I apologize, Colonel. I originally thought you would be in the barracks. If I had known you were sleeping here I wouldn't have asked anyone to break in."
"You Do you mean that if I’m not here, my room will be searched?”
He smiled and turned around, his posture strong and confident, and resolute.
“Of course, I am an inquisitor, that’s how I do things.”
“What on earth are you doing here?”
“The former Pai Xingxing What the Governor left for you.”
The Inquisitor pulled out a chair and leaned back easily.
"Don't tell me you forgot, Colonel Stryker."
Stryker stood there, staring at the other party fiercely.
“I don’t like your tone, nor your methods. If I keep hating your approach like this, I can assure you that even if you are a judge——”
< br>"Are you threatening me? Colonel?"
Strike took a deep breath.
"I think I am threatening you. You have also seen how I dealt with your people. Unless you can give me a good reason, I will never tolerate your behavior. We Catachan people are very vindictive. "
The Inquisitor sighed, clenched his long and pale fingers, and then suddenly held a compact laser pistol in his hand, the muzzle of which was aimed at Stryker.
Stryker was shocked. The gun was placed on the table opposite just now, but now the gun actually appeared out of thin air in the opponent's hand?
"Then how good a reason do I need?"
The inquisitor asked with a smile, and Stryker took a step back.
"I promise that before you kill me, I will kill you too..."
Lennart smiled, put the gun on his lap, and tilted his head back.
"Very well, then let's get right to the point. As a humble servant of the Inquisition to carry out His noble will, the Emperor, I dedicate my life to the sacred duties entrusted by Him until my soul returns. to his side, so I ask you to tell the complete truth as much as possible, because deception will bring you endless punishment, understand?
"It depends on my mood. ”
Lennart laughed again.
"Among all the Astra Militarum, you Catachans have the worst tempers. Everyone says you are devils, and you are truly worthy of your name."
"I don't know what on earth you are talking about? I don’t understand it at all.”
Lennart did not answer, but stood up, released his left hand holding the pistol, and walked slowly around Stryker.
The Catachan was uneasy at the unblinking look in his eyes.
"Then as you said, let's skip the red tape and get straight to the point. Why don't you tell everyone about the boy?"
"What boy?"
"Stop pretending, his name is Guy Delgar, and his father is Adisak Delgar, the former Governor of Paidu."
Stryker's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a dangerous glare.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Inquisitor."
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to judge him. Although his father made everything a mess, this has nothing to do with him. It’s okay, I swear.”
After hearing what the judge said, Stryker's expression finally softened.
"No matter what, his father dedicated everything to the empire. I promised the Governor that I would send him to a safe place to live incognito for the rest of his life."
