Chapter 63: Watching the Storm

After spending a day and a night in Gion's apartment, Lex washed up, prepared breakfast, and waited for Gion to wake up.

after awhile.

"How come you're still so lazy after becoming a marine? Come and eat quickly."

Gion rubbed her sleepy eyes and pouted, as if she was unhappy that Lex woke her up so early.

However, after sitting down and seeing a table full of delicious food, his eyes immediately lit up again, and the depression of not being able to stay in bed was swept away.

"Yeah, this vanilla milkshake is too sweet. If you eat too much, you'll get fat."

Gion hummed while puffing out his lips as he devoured his milkshake.

"It's great to be fat. I'll feel bad if you lose weight."

"You eat too, and we'll gain weight together."

Gion said.

"Uh-huh, yes, my dear wife!"

Lex sat next to Gion consciously and ate this luxurious breakfast which was full of nutrition.

In fact, given Lex and Gion's physiques, they don't need to worry about this little bit of sugar making them fat.

Of course, Charlotte Lingling doesn't count, after all, she is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Just as the two were feeding each other and enjoying themselves, a phone call suddenly came.

Bilibili~!

Lex answered the call without avoiding Gion. Gion knew most of his affairs, but she didn't care much.

"Moshimoshi, this is Stussy."

"Oh, Sister Stussy, any good news?"

Lex asked with a grin.

"Hmm, you guessed it right. Dr. Vegapunk wants to meet with you. As for the time, it's hard to be sure because the government has been targeting him recently."

Stussy explained that she had conveyed Lex's intentions to Vegapunk through secret channels over the past few days, and the world's number one scientist was very interested.

Lex thought about it for a moment and seemed to understand something.

"It's my fault. Dr. Vegapunk's original MADS was funded by Du Field. I killed him not long ago, so MADS lost its biggest source of income."

Stussy was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the "Loan Shark King" was just someone who could be "slaughtered easily" in Lex's eyes. However, Stussy still explained.

"It's not just because of Du Field's death, but also because MADS has developed something incredible!"

"Oh?" Lex became interested. He vaguely guessed what Stussy was referring to.

As Lex expected, Stussy continued.

"It seems to be bloodline factor technology. I heard from people in the government that it has touched the realm of God."

Stussy's words were shocking, and she did not hide the news from Lex's government. After all, Lex knew all her identities from the moment he contacted her. This was also what Stussy was most cautious about. Of course, Lex's power was also a factor.

“Is the government interested too?”

"Well, this was something Saturn personally instructed me to do. He asked me to use the intelligence system of Happy Street to find Dr. Vegapunk as soon as possible."

"How about this, can you give me a Vegapunk Life Card? You must have something like this, right?"

Lex demanded.

"...I can't make the decision on this point..."

Stussy was very hesitant. Giving Vegapunk's life card to Lex, wasn't that inviting a wolf into the house?

At Stussy's position, anyone with a bit of vision can see that Lex is definitely a very dangerous guy. Although he usually speaks in a very friendly manner, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Who knows what kind of person Lex is?

"Oh, haha, I'm so abrupt. Let's find a place where Mr. Vegapunk and I can meet first. As for the government, don't worry. I still have some connections there, so there's no need to worry about things getting leaked."

Lex explained patiently.

This is not Stussy's fault. Now, everyone in this sea knows the name of Leon Lex, but what kind of person is this person? Is he a fruit ability user? What is his identity?

Most people know nothing about it, and their impression of Lex is just that he is powerful.

Stussy would never have thought that Lex was the user of the Space Fruit, and was unrivaled in the ocean in terms of stealth.

The relationships within the government are even more complicated, and he has people in the CP.

Stussy thought about the feasibility of the matter and then replied with a definite answer.

"Okay, let's meet in Punk Hazard in the new world. Dr. Vegapunk will be there. Let's meet at the end of this month. Is that ok?"

"of course can."

"Okay, I won't bother you then, Lex."

"Well, bye, Sister Stussy."

"Haha."

After hearing her sister, Stussy hung up the phone amidst laughter.

Gion on the side didn't think much about it. He knew that the woman who called should be the recently famous Queen of Pleasure Street, Stussy. However, Lex's power was too great, so Gion didn't care much.

She asked Lex.

"Vegapunk, someone very important?"

"Yes, it is very important. In this sea, it is comparable to at least three top powers."

Lex gave a very high evaluation, which was also very pertinent.

Although Vegapunk himself is a fragile-looking scientist with a big head and a sticking tongue, in this world where the technology tree is crooked, the power of technology is so important!

The three ancient weapons are more or less related to technology. Pluto, the god of the underworld, and Uranus, the king of the sky, are simply creations of technology.

In later generations, Nerona Im destroyed the Kingdom of Lulucia with the 'Flame of the Holy Mother', a weapon that could destroy a country, and it was the masterpiece of Vegapunk.

Even the Pacifists, S-Hawk, S-Snake and other replicas of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that incorporate the genes of the Lunaria clan are quite powerful.

"Is it so powerful?"

Gion sighed, according to what Lex said, isn't Vegapunk alone comparable to the entire navy?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Gion thinking this way, provided that Vegapunk has sufficient resource support.

"Yes, technology is very promising."

As he spoke, Lex cleared the dishes.

He continued.

"Then I will go to Marinford to meet a few people later, and then I will return to the New World. I have a few things to deal with recently. Then I will come to pick you up and take you back to Fenghuai Qianli."

Although Gion was a little unhappy, he still nodded.

"Oh."

Lex sat next to Gion, tidied up Gion's messy hair, and kissed him.

"Okay, soon. Just be good in Marinford. It won't be long before the Navy opens an elite class. At that time, a group of talented young people will be selected to study in the class and be trained as generals and lieutenant generals."

"Oh."

Gion just said "oh". Compared to these, Gion cared more about the man in front of him.

Lex rubbed Gion's head lovingly and smiled helplessly, as if he knew what Gion was expecting.

"After returning to Fenghuai Qianli, I will take care of everything and stay with you alone, okay?"

"Ok!"

Only then did Gion nod contentedly.

..............

In an office in Marinford.

"Pergamon, Persis, is there anything going on in the navy recently?"

Lex asked as usual, sitting on the couch.

Every time I come to Marinford, it's mainly to visit Gion, and secondly to inspect the undercover work represented by Pergamon.

In fact, Lex has not had anything particularly important to do since the last war ended perfectly. In the next few years, he will be relatively idle and can watch the storms on the sea.

"Reporting to the young master, Marinford has been focusing on reconstruction work recently. In the last war, only some ordinary navy soldiers died in battle. There is nothing worth paying attention to in the pension and conscription work."

In fact, the last war in Marinford was just a lot of noise but little action.

The damage inflicted by hundreds of thousands of people and several top warriors was not as great as the damage caused by the knife that Lex casually swung at the end.

This was also what Lex had planned in advance. The navy has never been an enemy!

"Well, you guys continue to stay in the navy without any psychological burden. Just think of yourself as a marine and build good relationships with your subordinates and other colleagues."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two of them agreed solemnly.

Lex hummed, he was not worried about the loyalty of the two, he could read minds, so he was not worried about disgusting things like Mission Impossible happening.
