love needs to be experienced slowly
Chapter 2 Part 1
04
Anakin saw Obi-Wan again at the funeral of the Duchess of Sand Court. Obi-Wan, who had disappeared for two weeks, looked so sad. He knew that they had an unspoken ambiguity. When he was a few years old, he and Sha Ting met, a handsome young man full of justice and vigor and a young, beautiful and strong woman who was in crisis.Even though due to various reasons, this fate finally stayed in the relationship of a close friend, but at this moment, Anakin doubted whether the feelings and regrets that had been missed had rekindled his love for the woman he once fell in love with. All good memories.
Obi-Wan put a purple flower from Kalevala, Sandyen's hometown, on her coffin. If he hadn't asked her for help, the group would not have been eyeing her.As the leader of New Mandalorian, Sand Court has always remained neutral. She should not have been assassinated. She still has too many unfulfilled wishes. Obi-Wan still owes her a pleasant journey across the galaxy, 20 Years, can no longer be achieved.
As the duchess's lawyer and friend, Obi-Wan took over and handled all related issues, including the transfer and distribution of rights and property, as well as her will... After reading the will, Obi-Wan saw that there was such a paragraph at the end The text is what Sha Ting wrote to him, and there is no need to tell others, it is only written to him.
Anakin clenched his fists. In front of so many people, Obi-Wan, who was silent and letting tears run down his face, trembled slightly as he held the paper. Sure enough, the dead duchess would be deeply impressed forever. In Obi-Wan's memory, and Obi-Wan's emotional tear at her funeral will make the outside world write a lot about their relationship.
"Obi-Wan, we have to talk." After the end, he stopped the man with a haggard face.
"Anakin, if you still insist on helping Palpatine do evil, there is nothing to talk about between us."
"I know Shating's death hit you hard, but he didn't do it. Why would he want to get rid of a neutral faction?"
Biting his lower lip, his voice was a little unsteady, "Because of me, I asked her to help investigate several old cases involving Palpatine." Firth's hand was at the restaurant where Shating and I agreed to meet, the attack happened when I waved to her, and I will appear in court as a witness to identify the murderer."
Anakin was taken aback. General Grievous is Palpatine's confidant. If it is true what Obi-Wan said, it is very likely that Palpatine meant it. "Even so, it does not prove that It was Palpatine's instruction."
Obi-Wan's eyes gradually turned cold, he knew that he could no longer rely on this brother who was drifting away from him, "Grievous's way is very similar to that of Moore back then, I will continue to investigate, if one of them Really relevant," turning away, "you know what my options are going to be."
"Designate a general who was ordered by a high-ranking congressman to assassinate the leader of the neutral faction," Anakin grabbed his arm, "Have you really thought about it?"
"Anakin," Obi-Wan broke free from the young man's hand, "what supported you to become such a famous lawyer?"
I froze for a moment, but couldn't answer for a while.
"You don't know, do you?" The disappointment in your heart is like poisonous ivy, blocking light and hope, "Maybe I'm not a qualified teacher."
"Wait for me, okay?" The communicator kept vibrating, and glanced at Palpatine's private line, "At least tell me where you live these days, and I'll take you there. As for Grievous, I will definitely ask." After speaking, he quickly walked to the corner to pick up the phone.
In less than a minute, when Anakin returned to the original place, there were no men everywhere in the huge hall, and he punched the marble pillar hard.
Palpatine's reception room is a simple dark color, the leather sofa is covered with a thick layer of soft fur cushions, this strange combination used to make Anakin feel a little funny, but at this time he saw Looking at Palpatine with a kind face and white hair, he only felt the bone-chilling cold.
"The actions of General Grievous have not been approved by me. He had some personal grievances with the Duchess earlier. I personally respect Shating very much. I think her death and her sudden understanding of the past that has been concluded a long time ago related to the interest shown.”
Obi-Wan hadn't revealed who the murderer was yet, and he just took time to let Anakin come over to talk about it. The young Skywalker has always been keen, and he has already guessed the general idea at this moment.
Nodding calmly, "What has happened is irreversible. What I want to know is whether you are ready to abandon the car to protect your handsomeness."
"You are a very smart child. I always thought that after a hundred years of me, only you are qualified to take over my position." He paused intentionally, "It's just that you have one of the most fatal weaknesses, Annie. I found out when I first met you."
The 20-year-old Skywalker stood beside Obi-Wan as an assistant, a lawsuit about the trade alliance monopolizing the Naboo transportation route, using free trade as an excuse to increase prices by 30% and refusing to pay taxes, although most of them know Naboo It was the victimized party, but the trade alliance blocked the public with a lot of money, and formed a team of lawyers, inviting five celebrities who were specialized in handling trade lawsuits at the time, but on Naboo, Obi-Wan was the only one who had the time and was willing to Help is free.
It is not that if there are more people, you will definitely win. It is not an easy task to suppress Kenobi, who is as cunning as a fox, in the highest court of the galaxy. If you say any wrong word, he will accurately interpret the meaning he needs.However, the five-on-one situation was a protracted wheel battle. After three court trials that were dragged on and on, Obi-Wan, who had always been as stable as a mountain, couldn't stop his fatigue and irritability.
Once again referring to the privileges granted to the Neimoidians in the trade regulations of the Republic, Kenobi used four or five reasons to refute the innumerable times. The five-centimeter piece of paper, the Supreme Principles of the Republic, and the Basic Law of the Republic slammed heavily on the opponent's table, and everyone fell into silence for a while.
Suddenly, Anakin Skywalker, who had been sitting recording and sorting out, stood up and walked to Obi-Wan's side under everyone's puzzled eyes. He straightened his collar, "Since the Trade Federation has surrounded Naboo with heavy weapons, they naturally don't pay attention to the Republic, let alone the Basic Law. If they want to start a war, they can fight it. I hope their Neimoidian privileges can help They overthrew the Republic."
Obi-Wan opened his mouth, and then laughed out loud, a brat who doesn't play cards according to common sense.Politics is always involved in their line of work, but once it rises to political power and war, it is another matter.Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Trade Union to lose the case.
Most people think that Anakin Skywalker was eager to prove his talent, and used this method to draw everyone's attention to this future star in such an important trial.
But in fact, what Palpatine saw was a young man who was secretly in love with his dashing and handsome master, and all the arguments that day could not interest the young Skywalker until Kenobi was really angry and he came forward. Not for his own future, but for his master to get rid of those annoying ants as soon as possible.
"Actually, Kenobi will not lose. He has also made complete preparations, including political support. Congressman Organa and Congressman Amidala have initiated a joint signature, and I also voted for it. This is only in his I added a record of winning more with less to my resume, but I accidentally sent you to my eyes." A young man who easily exposed his greatest weakness has a promising future and is easy to control.
"I know," Anakin also recalled his first bold act in court, "anything more difficult and dangerous than that can't trouble him." Deme got in touch more deeply. They have similar tastes and the same political views. Obi-Wan also admires strong and independent women, "But what I don't know is that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with our topic today."
"My dear Anakin," the old man took out an electronic key card from the drawer, "the best strategy is always to turn a weakness into an advantage," handing it to the surprised young man, "None of us want to give up on Kenobi, Right? A friend is willing to lend you a property in the suburbs away from the hustle and bustle and the crowd for a good chat."
Taking the transparent key card, Anakin frowned and asked, "You kidnapped him?"
Palpatine didn't answer, "The bottom line is to keep him away from this matter. I don't mind the process, as long as the result."
Rising from the couch, he knew now that Obi-Wan was right, always right, and there was no turning back.
The black unregistered car drove away from the corner at the time, and opened the house with the key card and iris recognition in the hand, which looked like a normal two-story house. The nearest neighbor was one kilometer away, and it was indeed an unremarkable house. place.
Not seeing anyone on the first floor, Anakin came to the bedroom on the second floor. Obi-Wan lay sideways on the big beige bed, looking as if he was asleep.
The young man who was relieved went to the bed and sat down. He had seen Obi-Wan's sleeping face countless times. When he was a child, he used the excuse of being afraid of the dark to sleep together. Later, he fell asleep lying on the table when he was working overtime. The barrister with his glasses on, and the footage captured through candid shots, no matter how many times he watched it at any time, Anakin just couldn't get enough of it, and couldn't take his eyes off the man.
Pushing away the slightly messy hair on his forehead, he found that the other party was wearing a finger-thick metal collar around his neck.
"Obi-Wan, wake up." Gently shaking the middle-aged man, the long eyelashes fluttered twice within a few seconds, the opened eyes gradually focused, and the blue eyes fell into Anakin's eyes.
"Annie?" Obi-Wan wanted to get up, but found that his body was not listening to commands, "Damn it." He cursed, it was a muscle relaxant.
When he was waiting for Anakin to answer the phone, he was bumped by a small man with a large bag. Some injection pierced his clothes and entered his skin, and it was too late to react.
After waking up, he came to this empty place, with a strange metal ring around his neck.After studying in the house for a long time, trying to figure out whose place it was and whose hands he had fallen into, the mastermind who planned the kidnapping was so thoughtful that he didn't leave any clues behind.
"I found a few monitors in the corners of every room, but I couldn't trace the source, so I could only cover them with something. Don't talk about communicators or phones here, except for the sockets of refrigerators and water heaters, there are half of them in other places. I can’t even find the power supply.” The collar made me uncomfortable, so I moved my arm very reluctantly, but only moved a little bit, “Since I can’t touch the doorway, I want to leave, but I just opened the door and took half a step. I was stunned by this beautiful gadget around my neck, I guess I set a certain range, and I saw you when I woke up, someone must have been there and gave me a shot of muscle relaxants, how about you? Why are you here?"
Forcing himself to look away from the opponent's rolling Adam's apple, a collar, a collar around Obi-Wan's neck, can immediately remind Anakin of some exciting images, withdraw his distracted attention, and help Obi-Wan Bee Wan, use two pillows to prop up his body.
"Your guess is not wrong, it was Palpatine who did it," simply stated, "including kidnapping you, it was all planned by him."
"Anakin," blurted out anxiously, "you are still useful to him, he can't even you..."
"It was he who asked me to 'talk' to you." Stopping the other party's random thoughts, Anakin knew that the next development would only make the relationship between them more and more difficult, but at least at this moment Obi-Wan's friendship with him was indeed true. Indeed received, "He wants me to make sure you don't go out and cause trouble for him before the resolution is passed," paused, "It can be done in any way."
There was an eerie silence in the room.
"Say something? You can do whatever you want, even if you scold me, I will accept it." Unable to bear this kind of atmosphere, young people are always the ones with the worst patience.
"I don't know, if you already have a plan for us to win from the demons, maybe now is a good time to share it."
"He is very powerful, and I believe you have seen more of the corruption of the Republic than I do," even though he had drafted countless times in his heart, it was still so difficult to say it out. Being tricked to this point, "You also hoped to bring some changes to the already corrupt regime by helping Bell, but what about the reality? Maybe another way is not as bad as we thought."
"If you want to change, as long as it is under the premise of democracy and freedom, I will never object, but what Palpatine wants is probably absolute rule, and what he wants is definitely not the system of the republic."
"so what?"
"What?" Suspecting that he had misheard, Obi-Wan asked again, "What did you say?"
"He is old and has no heirs, so what if he established an empire? Someone will always rise up to fight, and one day he will be replaced. No regime is eternal. If the Republic is so good, how can there be so many conflicts? How can war be corrupted to such an extent?"
"God, Anakin, have you ever thought about how many innocent lives will be lost during each historical change?" Because he couldn't move, he could only flush his neck with excitement.
"I know, I feel bad, but my good master, if not Palpatine, is another person, how can we prevent what will eventually happen?"
"Even if you can't stop it, you can't help the evildoers."
"He has caught my weakness, he has played this game of chess for many years, if I can't make you compromise here," grabbed the man's weak left hand, "I can't imagine what will happen, Obi-Wan, just like this Once, listen to me, don't interfere, okay?"
With difficulty, he turned his head away from the young man who made him sad and disappointed, "As long as I have the chance, I will stop you."
"Stupid stubbornness!" Shaking Obi-Wan's shoulders hard, "He'll kill you, and I can't even protect you!"
"I don't need your protection, I don't need you, Anakin Skywalker, you should have known it would be like this when you made your choice..." Before I could finish speaking, I was forced to bend my head, and my lips were suddenly squeezed. Biting hard.
Ending the raging on the thin lips hidden under the neatly trimmed beard, separated a little distance, and looked at the eyes of the older man who was completely shocked, "All these years, you have never figured out what I want," Unbuttoning the shirt buttons of the person lying on the bed one by one, "Never say you don't need me, Obi-Wan," this is the picture he thinks about almost every night, "I can't lose you," stroked Two points on the chest, "If imprisoning you is the only option, I will do it without hesitation."

Quinlan Voss felt that he was the most loyal person in the world. He covered his friend with a thin blanket and sighed. In terms of courage, he was no match for Anakin. He doubted how many people in the world could be like this brat. Live this tightrope life.
Three hours ago, Quinlan was entangled by a homeless man on the way to his bar. After finally getting rid of it, he found a note with strange characters in his pocket. Password, a barrister who has offended powerful people all over the galaxy always has these few tricks to prepare for a rainy day, and Quinlan is one of Obi-Wan's insurances.
But this is not the handwriting of an old friend. He frowned and unlocked the code, followed the address to find a trash can, and found an order address hidden in Obi-Wan's favorite take-out pizza box among a pile of trash. , the note also said, just put it at the door, and in addition.
After looking around, there was no surveillance camera, and after burning the note and all the evidence with the lighter, I quickly went to the busiest night market in Coruscant to buy the cheapest clothes, a cap with a brim that was too long, one size bigger Shoes, dressed up in the dark alley and stole the most common means of transportation on the road.
When he came to the two-story house in the suburbs, he lowered his head and walked around the house a few times before knocking on the door. Kunlan, who was ready to fight, was frightened by the person who came out to open the door.Anakin Skywalker?However, the other party didn't say a word, and let him into the room sideways.
Following through the door in the darkness, Skywalker wrote a few questions on his palm, and Quinlan wrote the answers, and then Anakin's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he walked into the living room and almost immediately slumped down on the sofa .
"Obi-Wan once said that you are a guy who doesn't think about the consequences when you do things. You are indeed right. You actually cut off the power in the entire Coruscant."
No matter how strong his night vision ability was, Kunlan could not clearly see the expression of a person covering his eyes with the back of his hand at this moment.
"He's upstairs, I gave him some sedatives, he won't wake up in two hours, take him away immediately, don't ask anything, don't tell anyone, not even your girlfriend, help me take care of him For a few days, hide him and don't let him go out."
"What happened? Did you get in trouble or him?"
"Don't let him contact anyone else, and don't try to contact me."
Kunlan was startled, "So serious?" He knew that Obi-Wan was surrounded by spies and hidden stakes from various forces, and Ventress was one of them.But Anakin?This guy who doesn't seem to be offending on the surface but is actually not close to anyone, actually? "Even you are being monitored?"
"You are someone you can trust, Kunlan, but you'd better be careful recently, lest their tentacles have stretched too far."
Oh, so he didn't know that Ventress is from Dooku, he touched his nose, "I don't think it's good to hide it from you, obviously you are a person with big plans, if you miss something, I will Can't afford it."
So Quinlan told Skywalker that Ventress was the eyeliner sent by Dooku to Obi-Wan, including the dark history that he had played such a traitor once or twice in it, and he was waiting to be fisted after speaking.
After a while, the young man in the darkness spoke, "Everyone has weaknesses," he said, "If something goes wrong with you this time, I know who to go to."
□□Naked threat, this is it!The coolie who accepted his fate was about to go upstairs when he was called back again.
"Knock me out first."
Looking at Obi-Wan on the bed, Kunlan sighed again. He didn't know whether to say that Anakin was acting for his own benefit or taking advantage of the fire, maybe it was planned for a long time?He had already seen that this brat's flirting with Obi-Wan, that scorching gaze always wanted to stick to Obi-Wan's body, so the person concerned didn't realize it, or was he used to it?However, if this kind of thing is done under surveillance, the crisis this time may be more serious than any previous one.
Thinking of walking into that bedroom again, the strong smell of sex came to his face, as well as the spots on his sleeping old friend, Quinlan frowned, and followed Dooku's progress and Anakin's response to the situation. The reaction, Palpatine is going to make trouble?
But he knows that the most troublesome problem now is not the world structure, but how to keep Obi-Wan after he wakes up. Although this guy looks like a fox, he has a muscle in his bones. Why did he find such a person at that time? Be friends!Why!Thinking of how unrestrained and free he was Quinlan Voss back then, since meeting Obi-Wan and dating Ventress, he doesn't know where his own life has gone!
Resigned to his fate, he called his girlfriend, using the excuse that Obi-Wan drank too much at the bar because of Shating's death, and he was taking care of him.After hanging up the phone, he turned his head and met a pair of blue eyes, startled, "Obi-Wan? Are you awake?"
"I don't care what Anakin said to you, Quinlan," the hoarse voice was so exhausted, propped up, "you know I won't let him face this alone."
"You know? When did you know that he had a plan? He said that you have been under surveillance, and you probably don't have time..." It was a very strange experience to see a 42-year-old man blushing a little bit, "Okay , I don't want to know when he told you."
"Kunlan..."
"You are the bargaining chip that Palpatine used to blackmail Anakin. Only by ensuring your safety can he act with peace of mind."
"How many more people will be victimized by their ambitions before the ultimate goal is achieved? Anyone who raises objections may be killed. How long will Anakin endure? I can't pretend that I don't know, there can't be Next sand court."
"Then what are you going to do? Apart from Palpatine, Dooku is also watching your every move. I can fool my dear once and coax her twice, but it won't last long. If it really comes, I have to choose a side." When I was standing, I didn’t know which muscle I would make a mistake in.”
After pondering for a while, he didn't seem to be able to think of a better way. He really couldn't change anything by himself. "I need to get in touch with Padmé, and Bell."
again?Rolling his eyes, "Do you think there are no spies or eyes and ears around them? Before my dear was exposed, didn't you still treat her like a brother?"
"Their position is different from that of Shating. Palpatine needs Padmé's support. Bell is the person who publicly opposed his bill most fiercely. Even if he has resigned from office now, if something unexpected happens at this moment, it will definitely cause serious resistance to him. , he won’t move them yet.”
"I don't know anything about politics," I struggled at the end, "I'm just entrusted with loyalty, but Skywalker threatened me that if I couldn't guarantee your safety, he would go to Ventress to settle the score."
"Quinlan, I have to show up," said grateful friend for his kindness, but Quinlan Voss never succeeded in convincing Obi-Wan Kenobi, "I was taken from Palpatine's place, and he will definitely It is suspected that it is Anakin's problem. Anni has been involved too deeply. If he finds out, it is impossible to keep him alive. Stop caring about Anakin, send someone to get rid of me, and he will show his flaws again, this is our chance."
This is the third time Kunlan sighed today, "Do you two have to be like this?"
Not knowing why, Obi-Wan tilted his head.
"Can't you listen to him obediently once, or can't he listen to you with peace of mind?"
"Kunlan..."
"Don't look at me with your deadly sincere eyes, how can I reject you?"
I was accidentally amused, "I will tell Ventress."
"Go ahead, she thinks so anyway, ok, I'll get you some clean clothes, you have to take a shower and change them all, no matter what happens after that, at least I have to make sure you get a good rest tonight."
Now Obi-Wan blushed again, "We're not...".
He waved his hands casually, so Kunlan didn't want to listen to his self-deceiving explanations.

"Those who make big things are the most taboo to act emotionally. I gave you the opportunity to take him as your own, even if I broke his legs, I wouldn't let him leave, but Annie, Annie, since you can't do it, you can only let me Work on your behalf to prevent future troubles."
Palpatine's old, gloomy and weird laughter still echoed in his ears, and the evidence hidden in his body, desperate to break the glass, jumped from the conference room on the 65th floor to the sky loft on the 62nd floor, regardless of being scratched by sharp glass fragments With a brow bone injury, Lucky landed and ran towards the fire safety gate, and the siren sounded throughout the parliament building for a while.After taking advantage of the chaos and successfully escaping, Anakin had only one thought in his mind, Obi-Wan.
Palpatine's horror far exceeded Skywalker's expectations. This was not just a chess game that had been planned for many years, but a terrifying conspiracy that had been dormant for nearly 40 years.
Pressing his chest, Darth Maul, the murderer who killed Qui-Gon, was personally trained by Palpatine. The trade alliance was supported by Palpatine behind the scenes. He has been training and giving Padmé superficial love and support. With a benevolent and kind-hearted mentor, he deliberately left Bell with clues about the exaggerated amount of the war budget, manipulated the media to suppress Obi-Wan, directed and performed two assassination performances against himself, and cultivated forces against him to gain popular support and prestige. And Grievous... Seeing that he couldn't keep it, he had sent someone to remove it at a high price.
Who will be next?Anakin didn't dare to think, but had to think, it was his Obi-Wan, and the first name on that list was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Less than a week later, the death of General Grievous caught Obi-Wan by surprise, but because of his assassination, Padmé, who could not believe his deduction, mentioned vigilance, thus narrowly avoiding an attack. Assassination against her.
Now Obi-Wan is more worried about whether Anakin has been exposed. Palpatine's action to eradicate dissidents has obviously accelerated the pace. He stroked his beard and made up his mind to ask Ventress to inform Earl Dooku that they need to meet.
The most dangerous place was relatively safe. They were at Obi-Wan's house, which had been turned upside down two days ago.
When I opened the door, I saw Count Dooku standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, who is always so tall and majestic. Well, the anti-theft measures in my home are so fragile that it is not worth mentioning. I feel sorry for the home that has been broken into for a few days. .The old man was dressed more solemnly than the last time we met, and his back under the night looked preoccupied.
"Count Dooku, is there still some wine in the refrigerator, or do you prefer coffee?" Even with his eyes closed, Obi-Wan could reach the kitchen with precision.
"Kenobi," he turned his head and saw half of his head protruding from the kitchen, sighed, "I really appreciate you."
He dug out a small biscuit from the cupboard and stuffed it into his mouth. He nodded at Dooku, grabbed a bottle of beer and shook it. After receiving a shake of his head, he shrugged and walked to Dooku's side to drink it himself.
After exchanging some circumstances, Dooku again invited Obi-Wan to join his side, but was once again declined.
"What is your ideal?" Looking into the man in front of him, if he can understand the crux of the problem, maybe there will be a turning point?
"I know that you are an idealist with great ambitions, but for me, as long as I can help a specific individual with my own little effort, it is considered a success. I can't help everyone, but I can help everyone. One is one."
"You clearly have the ability to do great things."
"Hahaha, I thought being a well-known lawyer in the galaxy was quite a big deal."
"I'm talking about doing something bigger."
"Count, you have power and wealth, and you have a clear view of the competition between various forces. What you care about is how to better govern this broken world, and I, what I care about is to let those vicious people get Due trial and sanction, these are two ways." He licked his dry lips and took another sip of wine.
"Have you ever thought about it? If the rights overlap and the law you believe in representing justice is changed beyond recognition, how will you continue to act as a lawyer?"
Stopping, Obi-Wan frowned, "The law I believe in?" He took half a step back without any trace, "Isn't it also the cause you have been worrying about for decades?"
Such a sharp child, it's really a pity, "This is the last chance, Obi-Wan, we don't have to be enemies, as long as you let go of your prejudices, think about those you care about, think about Skywalker."
"I'm a little confused," squeezed out a fake smile, "can you please remind me again, what is your position? Isn't it digging out the cancer of Palpatine and earning yourself some popularity and canvassing by the way?" ?"
"Although there were disagreements, for example, when it comes to the choice between you and Skywalker, it caused a gap between you and even a breakup, so as to test which one to keep. With an extremely exquisite sword, "I tried my best, but unfortunately, we couldn't stand in the same camp in the end."
Although Obi-Wan has learned martial arts, the gap between him and the fencing overlord of the Milky Way galaxy for more than ten years is still very obvious. He narrowly escaped the fatal blow, but was still stabbed into the shoulder by the sword. Pausing and hesitating, enduring the severe pain, he squatted down and quickly dodged from the side. Fortunately, he was fighting at home. After hiding and smashing all kinds of handicrafts and small decorations, pillows and cushions, he was forced to the side of the sofa while holding his wound that was still bleeding. corner.
"My sincerest respect and apologies."
Obi-Wan closed his eyes, and in the last moments, he thought, hope Anakin isn't too sad.
However, what greeted him was warm liquid splashing on his face. When he opened his eyes, a tall body stood in front of him, "Annie... Anakin!" Shocked by everything in front of him, he was completely unable to move.
At the very moment, he rushed through the door and slammed into Dooku desperately, but was disrupted by the skywalker who suddenly jumped out, the silver sword fell, and Anakin's right hand was severed.
The young man insisted on propping up his crippled body, staring at Dooku who was kicked a few meters away by his sneak attack, his eyes seemed to be burning, he would protect Obi-Wan, and would never let him go.
Standing firm, the earl raised his eyebrows, "Skywalker, I have never taken a fancy to you. Since you are going to come to your door, let's go together."
After flicking the blood dripping from the silver sword, he opened his posture again.
"Master," the one who interrupted the killing this time was a tall and beautiful foreign woman who walked unhurriedly between the three of them, "Why don't you let this pair of fateful mandarin ducks live?"
"Ventress? Are you trying to betray me?"
"Women in love are always capricious and illogical." The style of the two short swords in his hand is exactly the same as the weapon in Dooku's hand, "You shouldn't have let me touch these three annoying people from the beginning .”
"Honey," Quinlan rushed to Obi-Wan and Anakin's side while their master and apprentice were confronting each other, "Both of them are not very optimistic."
"If you have time to talk nonsense, you might as well run!" shouted at her boyfriend, and took the lead in attacking.
end:
"It's your compliments, your smiles, the pride and smiles you put on when you're proud of me."
Such a sentence came out of nowhere, and Obi-Wan looked up at the young man lying on the hospital bed in puzzlement.
Everything has calmed down. Although Ventress only held Dooku for 5 minutes, he bought time for everyone. Bail Organa used his own guards, plus the robot guards who were already maintaining the law and order of Coruscant. They, after a bitter battle, finally won the famous earl.
The chip hidden on Anakin's body contains the transaction accounts between Palpatine and the Trade Federation, as well as the holographic image of him instructing Grievous to assassinate Sand Court. Many early evidences have been destroyed. Only by revealing Erpatine's true face to the public can he apply for more in-depth investigations. At least his ambition to overthrow the Republic is no longer possible.
And Padmé, following the clues, dragged out a series of greedy and corrupt congressmen. As a prestigious young congresswoman, she and Bell put forward a proposal for the reorganization and reform of the Republic's parliament.
The Bar Association was also proposed by Master Yoda and Mace Windu to form a temporary special small team to deal with this turbulent sea, and specially rectified the names of Obi-Wan and Anakin in recognition of their role in this almost earth-shaking incident. everything contributed.
And all of this has subsided now, and more than half a month has passed.
"You once asked me what supported me to become such a famous lawyer." Anakin tugged at the hem of Obi-Wan's clothes with his left hand, "This is my answer."
"Oh, why are you acting coquettish all of a sudden? How old are you?" Anakin shook his head amusedly, "Besides, this reason is too petty."
"This isn't acting like a baby," she pouted, "I'm confessing my love very seriously."
At a loss for words, he habitually stroked his beard,
Anakin saw Obi-Wan again at the funeral of the Duchess of Sand Court. Obi-Wan, who had disappeared for two weeks, looked so sad. He knew that they had an unspoken ambiguity. When he was a few years old, he and Sha Ting met, a handsome young man full of justice and vigor and a young, beautiful and strong woman who was in crisis.Even though due to various reasons, this fate finally stayed in the relationship of a close friend, but at this moment, Anakin doubted whether the feelings and regrets that had been missed had rekindled his love for the woman he once fell in love with. All good memories.
Obi-Wan put a purple flower from Kalevala, Sandyen's hometown, on her coffin. If he hadn't asked her for help, the group would not have been eyeing her.As the leader of New Mandalorian, Sand Court has always remained neutral. She should not have been assassinated. She still has too many unfulfilled wishes. Obi-Wan still owes her a pleasant journey across the galaxy, 20 Years, can no longer be achieved.
As the duchess's lawyer and friend, Obi-Wan took over and handled all related issues, including the transfer and distribution of rights and property, as well as her will... After reading the will, Obi-Wan saw that there was such a paragraph at the end The text is what Sha Ting wrote to him, and there is no need to tell others, it is only written to him.
Anakin clenched his fists. In front of so many people, Obi-Wan, who was silent and letting tears run down his face, trembled slightly as he held the paper. Sure enough, the dead duchess would be deeply impressed forever. In Obi-Wan's memory, and Obi-Wan's emotional tear at her funeral will make the outside world write a lot about their relationship.
"Obi-Wan, we have to talk." After the end, he stopped the man with a haggard face.
"Anakin, if you still insist on helping Palpatine do evil, there is nothing to talk about between us."
"I know Shating's death hit you hard, but he didn't do it. Why would he want to get rid of a neutral faction?"
Biting his lower lip, his voice was a little unsteady, "Because of me, I asked her to help investigate several old cases involving Palpatine." Firth's hand was at the restaurant where Shating and I agreed to meet, the attack happened when I waved to her, and I will appear in court as a witness to identify the murderer."
Anakin was taken aback. General Grievous is Palpatine's confidant. If it is true what Obi-Wan said, it is very likely that Palpatine meant it. "Even so, it does not prove that It was Palpatine's instruction."
Obi-Wan's eyes gradually turned cold, he knew that he could no longer rely on this brother who was drifting away from him, "Grievous's way is very similar to that of Moore back then, I will continue to investigate, if one of them Really relevant," turning away, "you know what my options are going to be."
"Designate a general who was ordered by a high-ranking congressman to assassinate the leader of the neutral faction," Anakin grabbed his arm, "Have you really thought about it?"
"Anakin," Obi-Wan broke free from the young man's hand, "what supported you to become such a famous lawyer?"
I froze for a moment, but couldn't answer for a while.
"You don't know, do you?" The disappointment in your heart is like poisonous ivy, blocking light and hope, "Maybe I'm not a qualified teacher."
"Wait for me, okay?" The communicator kept vibrating, and glanced at Palpatine's private line, "At least tell me where you live these days, and I'll take you there. As for Grievous, I will definitely ask." After speaking, he quickly walked to the corner to pick up the phone.
In less than a minute, when Anakin returned to the original place, there were no men everywhere in the huge hall, and he punched the marble pillar hard.
Palpatine's reception room is a simple dark color, the leather sofa is covered with a thick layer of soft fur cushions, this strange combination used to make Anakin feel a little funny, but at this time he saw Looking at Palpatine with a kind face and white hair, he only felt the bone-chilling cold.
"The actions of General Grievous have not been approved by me. He had some personal grievances with the Duchess earlier. I personally respect Shating very much. I think her death and her sudden understanding of the past that has been concluded a long time ago related to the interest shown.”
Obi-Wan hadn't revealed who the murderer was yet, and he just took time to let Anakin come over to talk about it. The young Skywalker has always been keen, and he has already guessed the general idea at this moment.
Nodding calmly, "What has happened is irreversible. What I want to know is whether you are ready to abandon the car to protect your handsomeness."
"You are a very smart child. I always thought that after a hundred years of me, only you are qualified to take over my position." He paused intentionally, "It's just that you have one of the most fatal weaknesses, Annie. I found out when I first met you."
The 20-year-old Skywalker stood beside Obi-Wan as an assistant, a lawsuit about the trade alliance monopolizing the Naboo transportation route, using free trade as an excuse to increase prices by 30% and refusing to pay taxes, although most of them know Naboo It was the victimized party, but the trade alliance blocked the public with a lot of money, and formed a team of lawyers, inviting five celebrities who were specialized in handling trade lawsuits at the time, but on Naboo, Obi-Wan was the only one who had the time and was willing to Help is free.
It is not that if there are more people, you will definitely win. It is not an easy task to suppress Kenobi, who is as cunning as a fox, in the highest court of the galaxy. If you say any wrong word, he will accurately interpret the meaning he needs.However, the five-on-one situation was a protracted wheel battle. After three court trials that were dragged on and on, Obi-Wan, who had always been as stable as a mountain, couldn't stop his fatigue and irritability.
Once again referring to the privileges granted to the Neimoidians in the trade regulations of the Republic, Kenobi used four or five reasons to refute the innumerable times. The five-centimeter piece of paper, the Supreme Principles of the Republic, and the Basic Law of the Republic slammed heavily on the opponent's table, and everyone fell into silence for a while.
Suddenly, Anakin Skywalker, who had been sitting recording and sorting out, stood up and walked to Obi-Wan's side under everyone's puzzled eyes. He straightened his collar, "Since the Trade Federation has surrounded Naboo with heavy weapons, they naturally don't pay attention to the Republic, let alone the Basic Law. If they want to start a war, they can fight it. I hope their Neimoidian privileges can help They overthrew the Republic."
Obi-Wan opened his mouth, and then laughed out loud, a brat who doesn't play cards according to common sense.Politics is always involved in their line of work, but once it rises to political power and war, it is another matter.Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Trade Union to lose the case.
Most people think that Anakin Skywalker was eager to prove his talent, and used this method to draw everyone's attention to this future star in such an important trial.
But in fact, what Palpatine saw was a young man who was secretly in love with his dashing and handsome master, and all the arguments that day could not interest the young Skywalker until Kenobi was really angry and he came forward. Not for his own future, but for his master to get rid of those annoying ants as soon as possible.
"Actually, Kenobi will not lose. He has also made complete preparations, including political support. Congressman Organa and Congressman Amidala have initiated a joint signature, and I also voted for it. This is only in his I added a record of winning more with less to my resume, but I accidentally sent you to my eyes." A young man who easily exposed his greatest weakness has a promising future and is easy to control.
"I know," Anakin also recalled his first bold act in court, "anything more difficult and dangerous than that can't trouble him." Deme got in touch more deeply. They have similar tastes and the same political views. Obi-Wan also admires strong and independent women, "But what I don't know is that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with our topic today."
"My dear Anakin," the old man took out an electronic key card from the drawer, "the best strategy is always to turn a weakness into an advantage," handing it to the surprised young man, "None of us want to give up on Kenobi, Right? A friend is willing to lend you a property in the suburbs away from the hustle and bustle and the crowd for a good chat."
Taking the transparent key card, Anakin frowned and asked, "You kidnapped him?"
Palpatine didn't answer, "The bottom line is to keep him away from this matter. I don't mind the process, as long as the result."
Rising from the couch, he knew now that Obi-Wan was right, always right, and there was no turning back.
The black unregistered car drove away from the corner at the time, and opened the house with the key card and iris recognition in the hand, which looked like a normal two-story house. The nearest neighbor was one kilometer away, and it was indeed an unremarkable house. place.
Not seeing anyone on the first floor, Anakin came to the bedroom on the second floor. Obi-Wan lay sideways on the big beige bed, looking as if he was asleep.
The young man who was relieved went to the bed and sat down. He had seen Obi-Wan's sleeping face countless times. When he was a child, he used the excuse of being afraid of the dark to sleep together. Later, he fell asleep lying on the table when he was working overtime. The barrister with his glasses on, and the footage captured through candid shots, no matter how many times he watched it at any time, Anakin just couldn't get enough of it, and couldn't take his eyes off the man.
Pushing away the slightly messy hair on his forehead, he found that the other party was wearing a finger-thick metal collar around his neck.
"Obi-Wan, wake up." Gently shaking the middle-aged man, the long eyelashes fluttered twice within a few seconds, the opened eyes gradually focused, and the blue eyes fell into Anakin's eyes.
"Annie?" Obi-Wan wanted to get up, but found that his body was not listening to commands, "Damn it." He cursed, it was a muscle relaxant.
When he was waiting for Anakin to answer the phone, he was bumped by a small man with a large bag. Some injection pierced his clothes and entered his skin, and it was too late to react.
After waking up, he came to this empty place, with a strange metal ring around his neck.After studying in the house for a long time, trying to figure out whose place it was and whose hands he had fallen into, the mastermind who planned the kidnapping was so thoughtful that he didn't leave any clues behind.
"I found a few monitors in the corners of every room, but I couldn't trace the source, so I could only cover them with something. Don't talk about communicators or phones here, except for the sockets of refrigerators and water heaters, there are half of them in other places. I can’t even find the power supply.” The collar made me uncomfortable, so I moved my arm very reluctantly, but only moved a little bit, “Since I can’t touch the doorway, I want to leave, but I just opened the door and took half a step. I was stunned by this beautiful gadget around my neck, I guess I set a certain range, and I saw you when I woke up, someone must have been there and gave me a shot of muscle relaxants, how about you? Why are you here?"
Forcing himself to look away from the opponent's rolling Adam's apple, a collar, a collar around Obi-Wan's neck, can immediately remind Anakin of some exciting images, withdraw his distracted attention, and help Obi-Wan Bee Wan, use two pillows to prop up his body.
"Your guess is not wrong, it was Palpatine who did it," simply stated, "including kidnapping you, it was all planned by him."
"Anakin," blurted out anxiously, "you are still useful to him, he can't even you..."
"It was he who asked me to 'talk' to you." Stopping the other party's random thoughts, Anakin knew that the next development would only make the relationship between them more and more difficult, but at least at this moment Obi-Wan's friendship with him was indeed true. Indeed received, "He wants me to make sure you don't go out and cause trouble for him before the resolution is passed," paused, "It can be done in any way."
There was an eerie silence in the room.
"Say something? You can do whatever you want, even if you scold me, I will accept it." Unable to bear this kind of atmosphere, young people are always the ones with the worst patience.
"I don't know, if you already have a plan for us to win from the demons, maybe now is a good time to share it."
"He is very powerful, and I believe you have seen more of the corruption of the Republic than I do," even though he had drafted countless times in his heart, it was still so difficult to say it out. Being tricked to this point, "You also hoped to bring some changes to the already corrupt regime by helping Bell, but what about the reality? Maybe another way is not as bad as we thought."
"If you want to change, as long as it is under the premise of democracy and freedom, I will never object, but what Palpatine wants is probably absolute rule, and what he wants is definitely not the system of the republic."
"so what?"
"What?" Suspecting that he had misheard, Obi-Wan asked again, "What did you say?"
"He is old and has no heirs, so what if he established an empire? Someone will always rise up to fight, and one day he will be replaced. No regime is eternal. If the Republic is so good, how can there be so many conflicts? How can war be corrupted to such an extent?"
"God, Anakin, have you ever thought about how many innocent lives will be lost during each historical change?" Because he couldn't move, he could only flush his neck with excitement.
"I know, I feel bad, but my good master, if not Palpatine, is another person, how can we prevent what will eventually happen?"
"Even if you can't stop it, you can't help the evildoers."
"He has caught my weakness, he has played this game of chess for many years, if I can't make you compromise here," grabbed the man's weak left hand, "I can't imagine what will happen, Obi-Wan, just like this Once, listen to me, don't interfere, okay?"
With difficulty, he turned his head away from the young man who made him sad and disappointed, "As long as I have the chance, I will stop you."
"Stupid stubbornness!" Shaking Obi-Wan's shoulders hard, "He'll kill you, and I can't even protect you!"
"I don't need your protection, I don't need you, Anakin Skywalker, you should have known it would be like this when you made your choice..." Before I could finish speaking, I was forced to bend my head, and my lips were suddenly squeezed. Biting hard.
Ending the raging on the thin lips hidden under the neatly trimmed beard, separated a little distance, and looked at the eyes of the older man who was completely shocked, "All these years, you have never figured out what I want," Unbuttoning the shirt buttons of the person lying on the bed one by one, "Never say you don't need me, Obi-Wan," this is the picture he thinks about almost every night, "I can't lose you," stroked Two points on the chest, "If imprisoning you is the only option, I will do it without hesitation."

Quinlan Voss felt that he was the most loyal person in the world. He covered his friend with a thin blanket and sighed. In terms of courage, he was no match for Anakin. He doubted how many people in the world could be like this brat. Live this tightrope life.
Three hours ago, Quinlan was entangled by a homeless man on the way to his bar. After finally getting rid of it, he found a note with strange characters in his pocket. Password, a barrister who has offended powerful people all over the galaxy always has these few tricks to prepare for a rainy day, and Quinlan is one of Obi-Wan's insurances.
But this is not the handwriting of an old friend. He frowned and unlocked the code, followed the address to find a trash can, and found an order address hidden in Obi-Wan's favorite take-out pizza box among a pile of trash. , the note also said, just put it at the door, and in addition.
After looking around, there was no surveillance camera, and after burning the note and all the evidence with the lighter, I quickly went to the busiest night market in Coruscant to buy the cheapest clothes, a cap with a brim that was too long, one size bigger Shoes, dressed up in the dark alley and stole the most common means of transportation on the road.
When he came to the two-story house in the suburbs, he lowered his head and walked around the house a few times before knocking on the door. Kunlan, who was ready to fight, was frightened by the person who came out to open the door.Anakin Skywalker?However, the other party didn't say a word, and let him into the room sideways.
Following through the door in the darkness, Skywalker wrote a few questions on his palm, and Quinlan wrote the answers, and then Anakin's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he walked into the living room and almost immediately slumped down on the sofa .
"Obi-Wan once said that you are a guy who doesn't think about the consequences when you do things. You are indeed right. You actually cut off the power in the entire Coruscant."
No matter how strong his night vision ability was, Kunlan could not clearly see the expression of a person covering his eyes with the back of his hand at this moment.
"He's upstairs, I gave him some sedatives, he won't wake up in two hours, take him away immediately, don't ask anything, don't tell anyone, not even your girlfriend, help me take care of him For a few days, hide him and don't let him go out."
"What happened? Did you get in trouble or him?"
"Don't let him contact anyone else, and don't try to contact me."
Kunlan was startled, "So serious?" He knew that Obi-Wan was surrounded by spies and hidden stakes from various forces, and Ventress was one of them.But Anakin?This guy who doesn't seem to be offending on the surface but is actually not close to anyone, actually? "Even you are being monitored?"
"You are someone you can trust, Kunlan, but you'd better be careful recently, lest their tentacles have stretched too far."
Oh, so he didn't know that Ventress is from Dooku, he touched his nose, "I don't think it's good to hide it from you, obviously you are a person with big plans, if you miss something, I will Can't afford it."
So Quinlan told Skywalker that Ventress was the eyeliner sent by Dooku to Obi-Wan, including the dark history that he had played such a traitor once or twice in it, and he was waiting to be fisted after speaking.
After a while, the young man in the darkness spoke, "Everyone has weaknesses," he said, "If something goes wrong with you this time, I know who to go to."
□□Naked threat, this is it!The coolie who accepted his fate was about to go upstairs when he was called back again.
"Knock me out first."
Looking at Obi-Wan on the bed, Kunlan sighed again. He didn't know whether to say that Anakin was acting for his own benefit or taking advantage of the fire, maybe it was planned for a long time?He had already seen that this brat's flirting with Obi-Wan, that scorching gaze always wanted to stick to Obi-Wan's body, so the person concerned didn't realize it, or was he used to it?However, if this kind of thing is done under surveillance, the crisis this time may be more serious than any previous one.
Thinking of walking into that bedroom again, the strong smell of sex came to his face, as well as the spots on his sleeping old friend, Quinlan frowned, and followed Dooku's progress and Anakin's response to the situation. The reaction, Palpatine is going to make trouble?
But he knows that the most troublesome problem now is not the world structure, but how to keep Obi-Wan after he wakes up. Although this guy looks like a fox, he has a muscle in his bones. Why did he find such a person at that time? Be friends!Why!Thinking of how unrestrained and free he was Quinlan Voss back then, since meeting Obi-Wan and dating Ventress, he doesn't know where his own life has gone!
Resigned to his fate, he called his girlfriend, using the excuse that Obi-Wan drank too much at the bar because of Shating's death, and he was taking care of him.After hanging up the phone, he turned his head and met a pair of blue eyes, startled, "Obi-Wan? Are you awake?"
"I don't care what Anakin said to you, Quinlan," the hoarse voice was so exhausted, propped up, "you know I won't let him face this alone."
"You know? When did you know that he had a plan? He said that you have been under surveillance, and you probably don't have time..." It was a very strange experience to see a 42-year-old man blushing a little bit, "Okay , I don't want to know when he told you."
"Kunlan..."
"You are the bargaining chip that Palpatine used to blackmail Anakin. Only by ensuring your safety can he act with peace of mind."
"How many more people will be victimized by their ambitions before the ultimate goal is achieved? Anyone who raises objections may be killed. How long will Anakin endure? I can't pretend that I don't know, there can't be Next sand court."
"Then what are you going to do? Apart from Palpatine, Dooku is also watching your every move. I can fool my dear once and coax her twice, but it won't last long. If it really comes, I have to choose a side." When I was standing, I didn’t know which muscle I would make a mistake in.”
After pondering for a while, he didn't seem to be able to think of a better way. He really couldn't change anything by himself. "I need to get in touch with Padmé, and Bell."
again?Rolling his eyes, "Do you think there are no spies or eyes and ears around them? Before my dear was exposed, didn't you still treat her like a brother?"
"Their position is different from that of Shating. Palpatine needs Padmé's support. Bell is the person who publicly opposed his bill most fiercely. Even if he has resigned from office now, if something unexpected happens at this moment, it will definitely cause serious resistance to him. , he won’t move them yet.”
"I don't know anything about politics," I struggled at the end, "I'm just entrusted with loyalty, but Skywalker threatened me that if I couldn't guarantee your safety, he would go to Ventress to settle the score."
"Quinlan, I have to show up," said grateful friend for his kindness, but Quinlan Voss never succeeded in convincing Obi-Wan Kenobi, "I was taken from Palpatine's place, and he will definitely It is suspected that it is Anakin's problem. Anni has been involved too deeply. If he finds out, it is impossible to keep him alive. Stop caring about Anakin, send someone to get rid of me, and he will show his flaws again, this is our chance."
This is the third time Kunlan sighed today, "Do you two have to be like this?"
Not knowing why, Obi-Wan tilted his head.
"Can't you listen to him obediently once, or can't he listen to you with peace of mind?"
"Kunlan..."
"Don't look at me with your deadly sincere eyes, how can I reject you?"
I was accidentally amused, "I will tell Ventress."
"Go ahead, she thinks so anyway, ok, I'll get you some clean clothes, you have to take a shower and change them all, no matter what happens after that, at least I have to make sure you get a good rest tonight."
Now Obi-Wan blushed again, "We're not...".
He waved his hands casually, so Kunlan didn't want to listen to his self-deceiving explanations.
06
"Those who make big things are the most taboo to act emotionally. I gave you the opportunity to take him as your own, even if I broke his legs, I wouldn't let him leave, but Annie, Annie, since you can't do it, you can only let me Work on your behalf to prevent future troubles."
Palpatine's old, gloomy and weird laughter still echoed in his ears, and the evidence hidden in his body, desperate to break the glass, jumped from the conference room on the 65th floor to the sky loft on the 62nd floor, regardless of being scratched by sharp glass fragments With a brow bone injury, Lucky landed and ran towards the fire safety gate, and the siren sounded throughout the parliament building for a while.After taking advantage of the chaos and successfully escaping, Anakin had only one thought in his mind, Obi-Wan.
Palpatine's horror far exceeded Skywalker's expectations. This was not just a chess game that had been planned for many years, but a terrifying conspiracy that had been dormant for nearly 40 years.
Pressing his chest, Darth Maul, the murderer who killed Qui-Gon, was personally trained by Palpatine. The trade alliance was supported by Palpatine behind the scenes. He has been training and giving Padmé superficial love and support. With a benevolent and kind-hearted mentor, he deliberately left Bell with clues about the exaggerated amount of the war budget, manipulated the media to suppress Obi-Wan, directed and performed two assassination performances against himself, and cultivated forces against him to gain popular support and prestige. And Grievous... Seeing that he couldn't keep it, he had sent someone to remove it at a high price.
Who will be next?Anakin didn't dare to think, but had to think, it was his Obi-Wan, and the first name on that list was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Less than a week later, the death of General Grievous caught Obi-Wan by surprise, but because of his assassination, Padmé, who could not believe his deduction, mentioned vigilance, thus narrowly avoiding an attack. Assassination against her.
Now Obi-Wan is more worried about whether Anakin has been exposed. Palpatine's action to eradicate dissidents has obviously accelerated the pace. He stroked his beard and made up his mind to ask Ventress to inform Earl Dooku that they need to meet.
The most dangerous place was relatively safe. They were at Obi-Wan's house, which had been turned upside down two days ago.
When I opened the door, I saw Count Dooku standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, who is always so tall and majestic. Well, the anti-theft measures in my home are so fragile that it is not worth mentioning. I feel sorry for the home that has been broken into for a few days. .The old man was dressed more solemnly than the last time we met, and his back under the night looked preoccupied.
"Count Dooku, is there still some wine in the refrigerator, or do you prefer coffee?" Even with his eyes closed, Obi-Wan could reach the kitchen with precision.
"Kenobi," he turned his head and saw half of his head protruding from the kitchen, sighed, "I really appreciate you."
He dug out a small biscuit from the cupboard and stuffed it into his mouth. He nodded at Dooku, grabbed a bottle of beer and shook it. After receiving a shake of his head, he shrugged and walked to Dooku's side to drink it himself.
After exchanging some circumstances, Dooku again invited Obi-Wan to join his side, but was once again declined.
"What is your ideal?" Looking into the man in front of him, if he can understand the crux of the problem, maybe there will be a turning point?
"I know that you are an idealist with great ambitions, but for me, as long as I can help a specific individual with my own little effort, it is considered a success. I can't help everyone, but I can help everyone. One is one."
"You clearly have the ability to do great things."
"Hahaha, I thought being a well-known lawyer in the galaxy was quite a big deal."
"I'm talking about doing something bigger."
"Count, you have power and wealth, and you have a clear view of the competition between various forces. What you care about is how to better govern this broken world, and I, what I care about is to let those vicious people get Due trial and sanction, these are two ways." He licked his dry lips and took another sip of wine.
"Have you ever thought about it? If the rights overlap and the law you believe in representing justice is changed beyond recognition, how will you continue to act as a lawyer?"
Stopping, Obi-Wan frowned, "The law I believe in?" He took half a step back without any trace, "Isn't it also the cause you have been worrying about for decades?"
Such a sharp child, it's really a pity, "This is the last chance, Obi-Wan, we don't have to be enemies, as long as you let go of your prejudices, think about those you care about, think about Skywalker."
"I'm a little confused," squeezed out a fake smile, "can you please remind me again, what is your position? Isn't it digging out the cancer of Palpatine and earning yourself some popularity and canvassing by the way?" ?"
"Although there were disagreements, for example, when it comes to the choice between you and Skywalker, it caused a gap between you and even a breakup, so as to test which one to keep. With an extremely exquisite sword, "I tried my best, but unfortunately, we couldn't stand in the same camp in the end."
Although Obi-Wan has learned martial arts, the gap between him and the fencing overlord of the Milky Way galaxy for more than ten years is still very obvious. He narrowly escaped the fatal blow, but was still stabbed into the shoulder by the sword. Pausing and hesitating, enduring the severe pain, he squatted down and quickly dodged from the side. Fortunately, he was fighting at home. After hiding and smashing all kinds of handicrafts and small decorations, pillows and cushions, he was forced to the side of the sofa while holding his wound that was still bleeding. corner.
"My sincerest respect and apologies."
Obi-Wan closed his eyes, and in the last moments, he thought, hope Anakin isn't too sad.
However, what greeted him was warm liquid splashing on his face. When he opened his eyes, a tall body stood in front of him, "Annie... Anakin!" Shocked by everything in front of him, he was completely unable to move.
At the very moment, he rushed through the door and slammed into Dooku desperately, but was disrupted by the skywalker who suddenly jumped out, the silver sword fell, and Anakin's right hand was severed.
The young man insisted on propping up his crippled body, staring at Dooku who was kicked a few meters away by his sneak attack, his eyes seemed to be burning, he would protect Obi-Wan, and would never let him go.
Standing firm, the earl raised his eyebrows, "Skywalker, I have never taken a fancy to you. Since you are going to come to your door, let's go together."
After flicking the blood dripping from the silver sword, he opened his posture again.
"Master," the one who interrupted the killing this time was a tall and beautiful foreign woman who walked unhurriedly between the three of them, "Why don't you let this pair of fateful mandarin ducks live?"
"Ventress? Are you trying to betray me?"
"Women in love are always capricious and illogical." The style of the two short swords in his hand is exactly the same as the weapon in Dooku's hand, "You shouldn't have let me touch these three annoying people from the beginning .”
"Honey," Quinlan rushed to Obi-Wan and Anakin's side while their master and apprentice were confronting each other, "Both of them are not very optimistic."
"If you have time to talk nonsense, you might as well run!" shouted at her boyfriend, and took the lead in attacking.
end:
"It's your compliments, your smiles, the pride and smiles you put on when you're proud of me."
Such a sentence came out of nowhere, and Obi-Wan looked up at the young man lying on the hospital bed in puzzlement.
Everything has calmed down. Although Ventress only held Dooku for 5 minutes, he bought time for everyone. Bail Organa used his own guards, plus the robot guards who were already maintaining the law and order of Coruscant. They, after a bitter battle, finally won the famous earl.
The chip hidden on Anakin's body contains the transaction accounts between Palpatine and the Trade Federation, as well as the holographic image of him instructing Grievous to assassinate Sand Court. Many early evidences have been destroyed. Only by revealing Erpatine's true face to the public can he apply for more in-depth investigations. At least his ambition to overthrow the Republic is no longer possible.
And Padmé, following the clues, dragged out a series of greedy and corrupt congressmen. As a prestigious young congresswoman, she and Bell put forward a proposal for the reorganization and reform of the Republic's parliament.
The Bar Association was also proposed by Master Yoda and Mace Windu to form a temporary special small team to deal with this turbulent sea, and specially rectified the names of Obi-Wan and Anakin in recognition of their role in this almost earth-shaking incident. everything contributed.
And all of this has subsided now, and more than half a month has passed.
"You once asked me what supported me to become such a famous lawyer." Anakin tugged at the hem of Obi-Wan's clothes with his left hand, "This is my answer."
"Oh, why are you acting coquettish all of a sudden? How old are you?" Anakin shook his head amusedly, "Besides, this reason is too petty."
"This isn't acting like a baby," she pouted, "I'm confessing my love very seriously."
At a loss for words, he habitually stroked his beard,
