Interstellar Legend

040 Donetsk

In a small house on the outskirts of New Darwin.

Reno, Nora, Stark, and Clarice sat together.

Not far from them was Russell Hill.

He was not bound; on the contrary, Reno personally poured him a glass of champagne.

He said, "Mr. Hill, I believe you already know why I've come to find you."

Russell Hill shrugged. "You want to find your soldiers taken away by the secret police?"

Reno nodded.

"Why come to me?" Hill asked.

"Because only you have the reason and the ability to help me find them," Reno did not conceal his purpose. "They've taken my people, and I intend to rescue them."

"Then you must tell me why they did it."

Reno nodded to Clarice, and only then did Clarice tell Hill everything that had happened.

"Superpowers? The Dawn Plan?" Russell Hill felt like he was listening to a fairy tale. "This is incredible, it's impossible!"

Reno did not argue, just waved his hand lightly, and then Russell Hill saw his glass floating.

"Oh, God!" Not surprisingly, Russell Hill shouted out the almighty.

Ten minutes later, after repeatedly verifying that this was not some kind of magic trick, Russell Hill finally began to face reality and believe everything they said.

"So you're doing all this just to save your comrades?" Russell Hill looked at Reno suspiciously.

"I know it's hard for you to believe because in your eyes, I'm someone who would kill his superior for promotion. But Mr. Hill, I don't expect you to believe me with words now. I only hope to prove it to you with actions. Give me a chance to rescue my brothers, and I'll show you what kind of person I am," Reno replied sincerely.

Russell Hill looked at Reno blankly.

On his face, he saw sincerity, kindness, and hope.

Russell Hill was speechless.

After a while, he said, "I don't know who you really are, Johnny Reno, but the evidence I have suggests that you are highly suspicious of killing your superior. But the you I've encountered isn't so despicable. I don't know which one is real, which one is fake, but I hope to get the truth about the Abrodi."

"Is this a condition for exchange?" Reno asked softly.

"Consider it one," Russell Hill nodded.

Reno stepped back a few steps.

He buried himself in the sofa, as if thinking about something, and finally nodded. "Okay, help me find the soldiers of the Abrodi, and I'll tell you everything that happened on the ship."

"Is this a promise?" Russell Hill asked.

"This is a promise!" Reno replied.

Russell Hill stood up. "Alright, but you have to promise me one more thing."

"What?"

"When you go to rescue people, I want to be there too. I mean, if you dare to deceive me, if you have another conspiracy, I will do my best to stop you."

"And if I'm not lying to you?"

Russell Hill didn't hesitate to say, "I'll help you."

Reno smiled, nodded, and said, "Good!"

That's how things were settled.

Russell Hill stood up and took out a map. "Nate Blade came a little too fast. He stopped me before I could find their location. Nevertheless, based on the clues I've obtained, it can still be determined that the location of the Abrodi prisoners should be around here."
