He really wanted to figure out how Wang Zheng and the rest were able to survive the attempts of the Earth Grade assassin.
It only costed an additional 50 million to kill three more. What a steal.
Basking under the sunlight, Lear’s smile was especially bright. To him, the world seemed like a chessboard with pieces that he could fiddle around with to his whim and fancy. This was all due to his inheritance. His power had been hidden rather well by the old man, and even till now it remained concealed. However, as his power started to increase, he began to gradually expose more of it. Lear was not anxious at all, for he wanted to enjoy this process of becoming king. From start to end, everyone else was merely the supporting cast to his story. He was fated to become the king of a new generation – a generation started by his very own hands.
In order to be acknowledged for his power and obtain total domination, he still had to put up a good performance. He had to perfectly demonstrate the special qualities he possessed as the successor to the throne. No one would even be able to come close.
In Menlo City, the inaugural trade conference for the Tita Super Gravity Energy Ore was having its grand opening.
Ambassadors from various embassies all began to arrive. Large corporations from related industries were in attendance as well. The conference this time was to be the first chapter in the development of the Tita Star’s Super Gravity Energy Ore.
This was undoubtedly an event of great significance. As a representative himself, governor Mu Sen was naturally obliged to attend. Recently, TitaTitan Star was not exactly in a peaceful state, so security was fairly strict at the venue. After all, nothing untoward could happen to the attendees at this event, for one careless misstep could easily lead to an international-scale incident occurring.
At this point of time, Lie Xin and Achilles were dressed as staff members. Lie Xin’s presence still attracted a large amount of attraction. Beauty Lie was indeed remarkably attractive while dressed in the staff uniform.
One would assume that Achilles’s personality meant that he would not be able to pull the look off, but Achilles was surprisingly more invested than Lie Xin. Lie Xin was a little too cold as a staff member, whereas Achilles, despite being handsome, wore an Superly professional smile on his face that was even sycophantic to some extent.
This was a very festive day for the people of Tita, so a majority of them liked to organize large events on this day. Organising some large event would also serve to disperse the haze of misfortune that shrouded TitaStar recently. Mu Sen hosted the mining conference while Lan Ling paid a visit to the media events of the strategic partners of Little Lucky Star Tita Investment Company.
On the other hand, the Titan Rara Durai organized a Giant’s Brawl on this day.
This plethora of activities served as a retort against the recent terrorist events.
Similarly, Titan Rara Durai’s unscathed appearance also helped to quash some rumors regarding the Titan sustaining heavy injuries and being close to death.
A mighty Titan was definitely the symbol of strength for the people of Tita. Additionally, the Titan’s attitude was also a key factor in the current preservation of peace and stability on Tita Star.
Only a few people in the know could not help but be worried – what exactly were the thoughts of the Tita people?
The reality of the situations was that things had clearly been a mess recently. The feared assassin was still around – and they were not working alone. There was not enough time to hide from them, for they actually split up before making their approach. It was clear that on this day, trouble would befall one of these three places. All that remained to be seen was whether the target would be Mu Sen, Rara Durai or Lan Ling.
The mantra of always being prepared did not really apply much to experts. As long as they showed their face, they would be in life-threatening danger.
At this moment however, the main character Wang Zheng had disappeared.
The preparations at the three venues were rather lively. The attendees all acted like it was no big deal, but many were waiting in excitement.
Peace was not easily attainable. The moment that the Super Gravity Ore was discovered, Tita Star could no longer remain as the tranquil place it once was. If not for the Milky Way Alliance’s current overall stability, the military might of the Milky Way Alliance’s government would have resulted in things being far more serious than it presently was. The incident this time would surely have been more than something as simple as a lone assassin.
Mu Sen was all smiles as he shook hands and embraced a group of his “old friends”. He became accustomed to these things over time. When it came to the heaven-swaying negotiation skills of mankind, Mu Sen was able to adapt very quickly. Others from Tita would likely have not been able to do the same.
His appearance this time was highly risky, but Mu Sen was actually not afraid of death at all. The people of Tita had a different perception of death than mankind. However, at such a crucial moment for Tita Star, Mu Sen could not afford to die at all costs.
As such, strict precautions were taken to protect Mu Sen. After all, there were ambassadors from many nations present as well. Both the venue and the area surrounding it was full of people, so even if the Earth Grade assassin appeared, it would surely be a path of no return for them. After all, in this era of explosive weapons, people were merely flesh and bone after all.
Furthermore, the assassin was not just a human bomb. He had to finish his assassination objective, yet had to escape alive as well.
As a result, the situation was still considered alright at this moment. However, it was definitely unacceptable to be relaxed.
Lie Xin and Achilles were only set aside for the sake of Wang Zheng’s complete plan. In actual fact, when it came to the present situation on Tita Star, it was alright for anyone to be missing except Mu Sen. Nobody else could be as perfect as Mu Sen in coordinating the relations between the people of Tita and mankind. Substituting anyone else in his place would surely lead to a collapse.
“Boss, are we really fine like this?” Yan Xiaosu asked as he crouched. At present he was disguised as one of the sages of Tita. Due to the discrepancy in his height, he had to crouch down.
Wang Zheng laughed, “Nobody asked you to do that.”
“Heh, I feel like this would be slightly safer. Cheh, you believe that the assassin would definitely rush towards Rara Durai, but if it was me, I would definitely trouble Mu Sen instead.”
“Oh?”
“Think about it, at present Mu Sen would definitely be the most important on Tita Star. In fact, the Titans don’t really care about things, and they even have the scariest vibes. If one wanted for things to go smoothly, one should go over to Lan Ling. The shields would definitely be down there – why would they come looking for the Titan?”
Wang Zheng shook his head, “Mu Sen and Lan Ling’s side may face some problems as well, but it will not be due to Heaven.”
“Could it really be that there are more?”
“Heaven would never kill mercenaries.”
“Why? If I was in his shoes and found out that Tita hired mercenaries to kill me, I would definitely find a chance to get rid of them first.” Yan Xiaosu did not quite understand.
“Do you think that the Earth Grade experts are just ordinary street goods? These are two groups of people that kill on sight. Nobody really knows who hired Heaven, but despite being an assassin, an expert like him would surely have his own principles and would not easily deviate from his previous modus operandi. On the other hand, the other type would be more likely to loot from a burning house. Out of ten of them, eight or nine of them are likely to be stakeholders in Tita’s internal affairs.
“Are you that certain?”
“Nope.”
Yan Xiaosu was stunned. Was he for real?
“I’m not a god after all. Judging from the other side’s style, they do not seem to want to disrupt Tita’s current situation, but want to let Mu Sen reach a compromise instead. If Mu Sen were to die, this would involve the ambassadors from various countries as well, and would heighten things to the level of the Milky Way Alliance. Various empires would intervene, and the one behind these things would certainly not benefit in any way from such a rapid escalation of things.”
“You mean to say that from the start of it all the goal of the other side was just to threaten?”
“That’s the basic gist of things. As such, Rara Durai would be their first choice. Of course, if a compromise isn’t reached, they would probably carry on one after another until the people of Tita concede. I’m afraid that these people tend to be very arrogant. Given that the poison afflicting Rara Durai has been cured, if it were you, what would you do?”
“I would keep getting up every time I fall. Furthermore, perhaps they don’t even think that we can deal with them.”
“Yep, that’s why I believe that they will definitely come here.”
“Then why did you still let Lie Xin and Achilles go over there?”
Wang Zheng laughed, “The one who massacred the mercenary squad was definitely not lacking in strength either. Besides, this group of people could be the local tyrants of Tita, so the defense mechanisms put into place may not be that reliable. They are the ones who would lose out if Tita no longer remained in chaos. Perhaps they don’t even think that far ahead either. To them, killing anyone else would not be as effective as killing Mu Sen, for as long as Mu Sen stays alive, the people of Tita would never cooperate with them.”
Different people would have different ways of reasoning. This was unfortunately the result of the scenario created a while back by Mu Sen and Lan Ling. The one who truly held control over things was certainly not Lan Ling, but was Mu Sen instead.
This was clear to those people as well.
Ordinarily they would definitely not dare to act, but they could take advantage of the recent events involving assassin Heaven and pin it on him instead.
“This was the conclusion that Zisu and I came to after much analysis.” Wang Zheng laughed.
“F*ck, you’re still so carefree despite knowing that the earth-level experts are coming. The bunch of idiots outside are useless!” Yan Xiaosu anxiously remarked.
Wang Zheng shrugged, “If not, why don’t you give it a try in a moment?”
Yan Xiaosu was stunned. “F*ck, one of his fingers would be enough to crush me. I think I’ll just humbly cheer from the sidelines instead.”
No one was more familiar with this gaze of Wang Zheng than Yan Xiaosu. When he was excitedly awaiting something, his expression was different from others. The more unperturbed and relaxed he seemed, the more eagerly he was awaiting. This meant that the adversary had given rise to a strong sense of attraction in him.
Wang Zheng leisurely drank the tea that was served to him by the hospitable people of Tita. Outside, the giants were already sparring in full frenzy.
When it came to understanding a person, there are times when you can judge them just by their ability. In fact, while curing the internal poison that afflicted Rara Durai, the two of them were considered to have already crossed paths once before.
