Interstellar: Conquering Crazy Commanders with Food

Chapter 43 I Can Only Swipe a Knife to Kill Fish

Claire watched the door close, and she looked around. There was a plank desk in front of a large curved French window, on which was a map that suspended the entire Atley galaxy and the surrounding colonies.

She went to the table and bent down to try to zoom in with her hands. Among the many planets outside the galaxy, she saw a blue planet labeled Earth. It was not too far away from the Atli galaxy, and the Milky Way was next to it. Like a sesame seed.

Claire touched her bandaged arm. She still owed Counselor Cyril milk tea for a week, and when the bandage was removed, she would give it to him for a week, and then go back to have a look.

She straightened up and looked at the bright sun shining outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and squinted her eyes. There was a row of bookshelves next to the desk, and each column was a file grid marked with time. Claire didn't look at it anymore, and went back to the sofa and sat down.

It was already afternoon when Cassius came back, he walked into the office, Claire fell asleep on the sofa, he didn't disturb her, he just took off his military jacket and walked over to cover her, silently backed out.

"Bring two lunches," he said to Fergie, who was about to follow outside.

Feiji glanced inside, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Understood."

Just as he turned around, he heard Cassius say from behind: "Add a portion of banyan peaches."

"Ok."

Claire woke up lured by a fruity and meaty aroma, mixed with a faint orange aroma.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself huddled under a large military jacket. She looked up and saw Cassius sitting behind the desk with his back against the sun, with half of his face blending into the shadow and staring intently at the documents on the desktop. Hold a pen and write on it from time to time.

"You're back, is the operation going well? Has Doris been caught?" Claire lifted her coat and sat down on the sofa. Looking at the food on the table, her stomach growled loudly.

Hearing the sound, Cassius looked up and saw her rubbing her stomach with one hand with a slightly embarrassed expression. He put down his pen, got up, went around the table, walked to the small sofa next to her and sat down on the small sofa next to her. He said coldly, "Mrs. A batch of mercenaries, their actions will not change anything."

Claire thought that the Duke of Pulan would not commit such a stupid thing before, and it would make sense to change to the wife of the Duke of Pulan. No mother can let her child die.

Her stomach growled again, and Cassius said calmly, "Eat."

He leaned over and took the only two meal replacement pills on the table and ate them, leaving the remaining pieces of black-horned beast meat and fruit for Claire.

She stuffed a piece of five-pointed star-shaped fruit into her mouth, squinted her eyes contentedly and said, "Commander, after you get off work, let's go to the regular supermarket to exchange for this fruit. Don't you get tired of eating oranges all the time?"

The roundworm in her stomach remembered the sweet and crunchy taste since the last time she had it at a bar.

Cassius didn't poke her, but he was greedy, "It's up to you."

After Claire ate a few pieces of fruit, she pushed the plate in front of Cassius, and ate some meat herself.

"You eat too."

From what she saw, she took his post-dinner 'snack'.

"I'll give you Jones, and he will be responsible for your safety when you go out." Cassius didn't touch the food on the table, and stared at the woman with her mouth puffed up with a pair of bottomless black eyes.

Claire swallowed the piece of meat and licked her shiny lips, "Who is Jones?"

Cassius was silent for a while, and thought of a better answer, "I'll help you carry the potatoes."

Claire was surprised, "I thought it was a masculine war robot."

"They have no gender." Cassius' eyes showed a bit of disgust, "Claire, didn't you even take the most basic theory and world classes in the Terran galaxy?"

Of course she had, and her studies were pretty good before she got sick, but there were no such high-precision and intelligent robots in her era.

Claire nodded, "I've been sick since I was 16, and I really don't know much about the outside world."

Cassius was silent again.

Not long after she finished her lunch, Fei Ji knocked on the door twice and walked in, "Commander, Mrs. Poullan has fallen into a trap."

Cassius got up and took away the coat that Claire put aside and put it on again, lowering his eyes and saying to her, "Come with me."

Claire obediently stood up and followed behind him.

According to the original plan, Doris was going to be executed today, and the mercenary interception that appeared this morning caused a lot of delay.

Claire then walked into a small, completely dark room, with a cage of high-density bulletproof glass in the middle, and only the light tubes surrounding the glass were emitting a cold white light.

Doris was chained to the electric chair in a mess.

A woman dressed in luxurious clothes with tears in her eyes pressed her palm against the glass, whimpering in grief.

"Mrs. Pullan." Fiji reminded from behind, "Your visitation time is up. According to federal law, you have been arrested for organizing a prison escape."

"Shut up! It's not your turn to speak!" The woman turned her head and roared angrily. She saw Cassius, who was expressionless, and walked over quickly, raising her hand to slap him on the face.

Claire was taken aback by her actions.

Cassius stood still, and the hand that hit him stopped in mid-air and couldn't get close to him.

Cassius said blankly: "The execution will be executed in 5 minutes, you can stay for 5 minutes."

Claire looked at Mrs. Pulan's eyes that were originally full of anger and sadness, and instantly turned into pleading.

"Don't be like this Cassius, Liz likes you so much, you have a way to save her life, please, don't treat her like this."

"Don't beg him!" Doris, who was tied to the chair, raised her head and stared at Cassius with hatred in her eyes. "My sincerity fed the dog, you kill me!"

Claire felt a little bewildered, and so did her expression.

"Why does everyone think Doris loves Commander?" She stood behind and asked Fei Ji in a low voice, "Because you grew up together?"

"The commander just went to the same military academy as Doris." Fei Ji shrugged, "But she did pursue him passionately for a while, and some gossip about that time can still be found on Starnet."

"Doris isn't ugly, why didn't he agree?" Claire was puzzled, and then recalled what Cassius said to her at that time, "Are you afraid that his wife will be a widow if he dies in battle?"

Fei Ji gave her a strange look, "Probably not, the commander doesn't have much time to fall in love, most of his time is spent in military camp training or programming room."

Claire nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "I think Doris doesn't love Commander, this kind of sincerity is too ridiculous."

"How?" Feiji whispered to her with interest.

Claire didn't realize that the man in front had turned around, and secretly communicated with Fei Ji, "I think if you really love someone, you will never let the other person take risks. Doris knows that What she did was treason, and she didn't even remind the commander, generally there are only two possibilities, one is that she doesn't love her, and the other is that she wants to bring the commander down and keep her by her side."

"Your mind is very clear, and it makes sense to analyze it at a young age." Feiji agreed, "If I had a lover, I would definitely not do this."

Claire smiled. She had read a lot of love literature.

Fiji added, "If my lover is treasonous, I will kill her without hesitation."

"Fiji." Cassius suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and said with cold eyes: "Practice 50 more laps on the playground."

Feiji raised his head in bewilderment.

What did he do wrong again? !He just stands there!

Claire coughed lightly and closed her mouth, avoiding Fiji's mournful eyes.

He can't blame her, he is sure that he has made Cassius unhappy again.

Mrs. Pulan stared at Claire resentfully, "A slave, what right do you have to say about my daughter!"

Claire blinked, so they heard the conversation?

She walked to Cassius silently, "Probably. Doris is now a prisoner on death row, and you will soon be imprisoned as a traitor to the empire."

A condemned prisoner is a prisoner, and his status is indeed inferior to that of a slave.

Cassius let her eloquence go. He even waved over two robots and gave Mrs. Poulang a pair of silver bracelets. He didn't want to let her mess around and let the robots carry it.

The cell fell silent, and Cassius walked to a table placed in the glass cabin, picked up a pistol and skillfully loaded the magazine.

"Come on Claire."

When Claire saw him tap the insurance with his thumb, his heart tightened, and he suddenly remembered what his purpose for coming here was.

She moved in slowly, and a pistol was handed over by a pale hand in front of her.

"She is your prisoner of war now." Cassius lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"I can watch." Claire said tremblingly, "You just come."

Let her watch the execution scene of the death row prisoner, she thinks it is the limit.

"Claire." Cassius frowned, his voice became cold, "Kill her."

It was an honor for him to let her kill the enemy, he couldn't understand why her face was so ugly.

"Cassius! How dare you let a slave kill me! How dare you! Cassius!" Doris yelled frantically, she was frightened, she was going crazy with fright, her face began to grow sideburns , looked like a beast, but there was a flash of electricity on the chair, she wailed, and the transformation directly failed.

Claire took the gun with trembling hands, feeling her palms burning. She looked at him flusteredly, "But I can't shoot, I can only kill fish with a knife."

But this is completely different from chopping fish heads. She looked at Doris who was sitting on the stool and yelling at her, and her body trembled.

Cassius didn't hesitate. He stood behind Claire and put one hand around her waist, held her hand with the other, raised the gun, and leaned close to her.

"Here is insurance."

Claire bit her lower lip as her cool breath caught her ears.

　The day length is 3k, I have killed fish in RT-Mart for ten years, my heart is already as cold as the knife I used to kill fish.

　　(σ;*Д*)σ death penalty!
