Chapter 33: His Singing Voice
Chapter 33: His Singing Voice
Turning off the communicator, Chris tidied the hair on the side of Qing Yuns cheek. He bowed his head and kissed the young mans pinkish face, whispering, I wont let anyone hurt you again.
Including myself.
After pulling the blanket upwards for the boy, Chris got up and walked out.
The warm and non-blinding sunlight shone on the bed. Qing Yun slowly opened his eyes and stretched his back.
Until now, he had been lamenting the wonders of this world, whether it was this one week of shamelessness or the structure of alpha and omega bodies. Thinking of this, Qing Yun couldnt help but blush, and the side of his head rubbed on the soft pillow.
Although he woke up, Qing Yun had no intention to sit up.
After all, he is now delicate, so how can he just move around? Qing Yun snorted, and only then did he properly digest the energy pouring into his soul.
On the Flamingos starship, Chris had been the one to finish off Apollon. Qing Yun was terrified for a while, fearing that Heavenly Dao might have noticed something wrong, but it seemed that Chriss soul was so special that it didnt even attract the Heavenly Daos attention.
The energy given by this world was quite generous, which finally satisfied Qing Yun.
This worlds way of completing quests was relatively new to Qing Yun. He just needed to passively guard the information and secretly put pressure on Chris at the same time.
In just one week, he completed the mission in this world, which surprised Qing Yun.
"
"
The thought of detaching from the world played around in his head again, but then Qing Yun remembered how Chris had been surrounding him these days. He couldnt help but shake his head and laugh.
Directly leaving the world, how could it be any more fun than staying behind and screwing with him a little?
Admiral Chris held an informational conference.
This surprised the people familiar with his personality because Chris has always been a man of action. He never talks nonsense to people unless necessary, and holding a conference is more like the style of those old people in the council.
Most people watched the live broadcast of the conference with curiosity due to Chriss strong influence in the Federation.
What would Admiral Chris say? Was it a major decision made by the top of the Federation, or was it to recount his experiences on the mission?
The audience was visibly enthusiastic and flooded the screen with pop-ups.
[Is the upper levels of the Federation out of their minds? I cant believe they let Chris come on board to hold a conference]
[Ill bet that the Admiral will end with two sentences.]
[I bet!]
[Chris is my husband, Chris is my husband, Chris is my husband] This was clearly an avid fan of Chris, and the blood-red font painted all over the screen.

But that didnt affect the mood of the viewers, they were used to it. The chances of Chris appearing in the public eye were very few. However, every appearance was bound to cause a storm, with omegas and betas clamoring to give him children all over the Federation. Even some of the alphas were obsessed with him.
[The one in front of me is getting in the way of my screen licking!]
[Whats the Admiral going to say this time?]
[I want to hear everything!]
[Its not about Jorah, is it?]
[Hahahahahaha, dude, the funniest joke of the year is yours.]
As soon as this pop-up came out, several hahahas immediately followed below. It was because Chris never put his mind on personal matters, and all of his time seemed to be contributed to the Federation.
Moreover, they didnt think that Jorah was really involved with Chris. Otherwise, they wouldnt have been able to ridicule Jorah so recklessly.
Everyone was cheerfully anticipating Chris to get to the point. They were enthusiastically speculating about what Chris was going to say and subconsciously forgot about Jorah.
However, this time, Chris was clearly going to surprise them to the end.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he stated his purpose straightforwardly: This conference is being held to clarify some personal matters.
Jorah is my partner. This statement was spoken with exceptional firmness by Chris. His silver eyes looking directly at the audience like sharp blades, Any malicious speculation about our relationship on the Star Network will be treated as slander if it comes up again.
As soon as Chris said this, all the viewers were shocked. The screen full of pop-ups finally subsided, leaving only the Chris is my husband line still stubbornly hanging on.
I will hold the person who leaked Jorahs personal information legally responsible.
At that, Chris looked down at the screen and frowned, Also, to avoid any misunderstanding, I refuse to be addressed affectionately by anyone other than Jorah. If it comes up again, I will equate it to a violation of my honor.
As soon as Chris finished speaking, the blood-red pop-up finally drifted away quietly without reappearing.
The viewers watching the press conference were all confused at the moment. They were stupefied as they looked at the stern Chris in the video. A faint chill gradually surfaced as they were stared at by his pair of icy silver eyes.
But at the same time, there was a flood of incomprehension.
Was Jorah really involved with Admiral Chris?
And to have the Admiral himself hold a press conference to support him?
The Admiral couldnt even tolerate a little nickname for him?
What a b-tch!
Puzzlement and anger gradually rushed over the groups heads. As Chris made this call, the original passersby became frustrated with Jorah as well.
Good grief, the original national icon was rounded out by Jorah alone. Jorah has absolutely no ability to match up to Admiral Chris.
They are totally mismatched!
The few fans who had been swiping Chris is my husband were even more upset. What does the Admiral mean? For Jorah to deny them the right to like him?
Chriss assistant stood outside the camera and covered his face with a miserable expression.
He knew he shouldnt have let the Admiral go up to speak in person. Such a cold and unaccommodating speech, the effect is worse than forcefully deleting comments, OK?
This is not a favor to Mr. Jorahs strength at all, but instead, it just gave people a feeling of hatred!
As if he didnt notice the angry emotions of the audience in front of the screen, Chris took out a video chip. He dropped his eyes to stare at the tiny chip in his palm and said, This is my personal video of this mission. Originally, I didnt want to take it out. After all, I dont want you guys to see his miserable appearance.
At that, Chris stopped and closed his eyes to stabilize his emotions before continuing, However, I cant stand your misunderstanding and slander of Jorah any longer.
After that, he bowed his head and inserted the chip into the projector.
At that time, the top management of the Federation had equipped Chris with a personal camera device to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings after his return.
The video had been presented as a record of this mission. This time, it was also only after Chris had applied and politely obtained Jorahs consent that the video could be made public.
Can you watch the video and understand it? The viewers were still angry. They didnt need to see it to know that the video was nothing more than Admiral Chris meeting Jorah on a mission and being touched by Jorahs trust.
Only Chris, who has never been in love before, would believe Jorahs shenanigans!
The video begins to show, and the audience impatiently awaits Jorahs appearance.
Everyones eyes widened at the sight of Chris getting ordered to interrogate Jorah. They didnt expect the two to meet in such a way.
A comment immediately popped up on the screen: [Its just a joke, how do you fall in love in this situation?]
[Maybe the Admiral would release water.] 1
[Impossible, we believe that the Admiral would never treat the mission as a childs play.]
At that moment, Chriss voice added at the side with an odd huskiness, as if he was suppressing his fears, In the beginning, I was prepared to kill him to ensure that Dr. Ramiels trail would not be revealed.
The words kill him smashed into the hearts of the crowd, making them shut up.
Admiral Chris was always concerned with the greater good, that much they all knew.
Jorah on the video looked up at Chris, and when everyone thought he would beg for mercy, the word that the teen cursed out made their faces heat up.
Traitor, thats what people labeled Chris after he defected to the enemy. How much respect they had for him earlier was how angry they were when they knew he had defected. They spat at him in anger, attacking him wildly on Chriss Star Network page.
The boy cursed clearly, with gritted teeth and genuine emotion. A moment that took them back to a time when they were shrouded in death and suffered the pain of betrayal.
After learning of the theft of the genetic chip, all of the people in the Federation lived in fear that one day they would die quietly in their sleep. Then, what followed was the news of the betrayal of their beloved patron saint. During that time, everyone unreservedly unleashed their fears on Chris.
Jorahs spitefulness unexpectedly brought the audience a sense of recognition that he was just as angry and fearful as the rest of us, but also loved the Federation.
But they still mistrust Jorah. He is so cowardly and weak. Can he withstand the torture?
When Jorahs torture began, there was also a malicious expectation: At how many lashes would he fail to hold out?
But soon, they couldnt say anything.
Because they realized that Chris was really not holding back.
It was impossible to hurt someones life with a single whip, but it was also necessary to inflict enough pain and even enough psychological pressure. This was the essence of interrogation, and Chris had done it all.
And what about Jorah? His reaction was even more surprising. Not only did he not plead for mercy, but not even a hint of his voice showed. He also looked straight at Chris with his eyes and didnt even try to dodge!
Whenever they thought Jorah couldnt hold on, Jorah would always refresh their impressions of him again.
At first, they speculated when Jorah would not be able to hold on and beg for mercy, but later they sweated for the punished teenager.
Hold on! Hang in there!
They watched as the transmission lines from the mental deterrent connected to the back of Jorahs head and raised their hearts uneasily at that.
They saw the boy withstand the shock of the deterrent and shouted for encouragement, but they couldnt stop laughing at the funny scene when Jorah kicked Chris and was knocked around.
While they felt sorry for the teenager because his head was stabbed into a hedgehog, their hearts ached for him when he said, The Federation will not fail!. Then, when they saw the teenager proudly say with his head held high that he belonged to the Federations Supreme Art Academy, they covered their mouths and laughed out tears.
Watching the teenager suffer increasingly severe punishment, some people in front of the screen even forgot that this was just a video, cheering for him loudly, weeping for him.
The boy in the video gritted his teeth and endured the pain, holding on to the secret in his heart.
Though he was entirely on the weaker side, his persistence was felt by all the Federation people. On one side, they seem to be controlled by Jorahs emotions, nervous for him, proud of him, suffering for him, and crying for him. On the other side, they were also quietly asking themselves: If it were me, would I be able to survive? Could I bear not to reveal Dr. Ramiels whereabouts?
The viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the screen were complicated inside, but the video wasnt over yet.
Everyone didnt expect Jorah to sing the national anthem.
The national anthem, a song that everyone knew and sang throughout their childhood, but didnt care to mention as an adult, was sung by a teenager in such a style.
Fear and depression, hope and light, crossed and collided in Jorahs clear voice. In the end, hope prevailed, and a triumphant anthem was sung.
This infectious voice instantly stirred up the lingering fear and the sigh of relief in the hearts of all the people of the Federation. They even recalled the fire and scorched earth of the Capital Star before the founding of the Federation.
Somewhere along the line, someone sang the national anthem along with the voice in the video, one after another, strong and determined.
The Federation had never had a scene like this.
All of those watching the broadcast may have been walking along the road, resting on a garden bench, waiting for a cone at the ice cream shop, or just took a quick glance up in front of the big screen.
They all involuntarily sang the national anthem of the Federation.
Just as their voices became more resonant and their emotions were more agitated, an electric flash of lightning appeared in the video. There were no screams, no cries of pain, and the voice that led them suddenly lowered.
Everyones voices came to a screeching halt, their passionate emotions suddenly stuck at that point. They could only look up at the screen as the teenager sang one hoarse sentence at a time, blood pattering all over the floor with his voice.
No! Someone finally couldnt stand to hold the screen and cry. This beautiful sound shouldnt be ruined.
When they tried to look up at the boy again, they found that the video had been turned off, and the boy was nowhere to be seen.
It was Chris who turned off the video, his hand, which had always held weapons firmly, now trembled and covered his eyes. The video was shot from Chriss point of view, edited to show each of the teenagers torture scenes, which was precisely the memory Chris wanted to escape the most.
Now he had to force himself to watch it again and relive the hesitation, pain, and self-pity he had felt in the beginning.
If you like what I do, consider buying me a coffee! Ill upload an extra chapter once Ko-fi donations hit a certain amount
- this could probably mean like the Admiral would not use full strength? not do it seriously?
