Lie Xin looked at Wang Zheng, smiling cheekily. Wang Zheng looked at Lie Xin. “I feel like you’ve come to peace with your inner demons. And you’re not satisfied with Lear. Why not join us? We’ll celebrate in victory and mourn in defeat. We’ll live to the fullest!”
Lie Xin sized Wang Zheng up. “You’re trying to poach Lear’s strength. I heard that Lear came to look for Achilles before. To not reply to that move would be discourteous.”
Wang Zheng shrugged. “You know that’s not the point. I don’t know if I can come back alive from this trip to Tita Star. Please look after Zhang Shan. Achilles is calm and will look at the big picture, but sometimes he’s too passionless.”
Lie Xin did not know how to reject the man in front of her. She knew about the Tita Star situation. That was a sea of murky trouble. It was rumored that many agents had already infiltrated it. It looked peaceful, but was already in chaos. Even back then, it had attracted an Earth rank killer. Who knew what else would emerge this time around?
“You could choose not to go,” Lie Xin suddenly said.
Wang Zheng laughed. “Thank you. Those words mean that I hold you as a friend not in vain.”
“I don’t want to be your friend. I’ll agree to this, but I only want to celebrate in victory. As for Zhang Shan, that boy isn’t as frail as you think. And… come back alive.”
Lie Xin found that she was really helpless in front of Wang Zheng.
After separating from Lie Xin, Wang Zheng went to find Butcher. On this matter, he might still need Butcher to talk to the school authorities. Of course, regardless of their answer, he was going.
Butcher had a headache. Those two b*stards had vanished into thin air, and not a single jot of news was to be had. The numerical data recovery from the experimental base was not ideal. Siemen Kuang and Beko were going to have to ride it rough for a while.
“Yes, no matter what, I have to be there.”
Butcher frowned. He did not ask further. Butcher was clear that Wang Zheng recognized danger. Especially given how calm he was, it was clear that Wang Zheng had thought through it.
“I’ll think of something for the school side. Perhaps a test is being run on Tita Star. Have you settled things with Saruman Snake Battle Team? Many eyes are on you now.”
Butcher meant to say that Wang Zheng’s future was unlimited. As long as Saruman Snake Battle Team could maintain their results, many doors would open for them.
“The current lineup is not bad. But Tita Star’s situation is more pressing.”
“Oh you, what can I say? Youth is power, but you can’t just let yourself go… Bring the Conqueror with you this time,” Butcher said softly.
Wang Zheng was stunned. “Really? Can I???”
With the Conqueror, Wang Zheng’s confidence was bolstered.
“You pest, you dare to go to all kinds of hell. The mech can be lent to you, but remember to return it. Otherwise, I’ll step right in with you as well.” Butcher smiled.
“Old Butcher, I might be involved in an international dispute this time around. If I use the runic mech, will I sully your reputation and the school’s?” Wang Zheng suddenly thought of this question.
“You’re just small fry, don’t concern yourself with things like that. I’ll naturally settle those things. You just come back alive!”
Butcher patted Wang Zheng. “Also, don’t think you can hold everything. We old guys here aren’t dead yet!”
Wang Zheng nodded gratefully. To him, if he had the Conqueror, things would be completely different. Even against a thousand, he would kill them all.
He had been worrying about how to ship the mech. Looking down at the space crystal he was holding, Wang Zheng was starting to get a little nervous. F*ck, this was the legendary space crystal. Unbelievable!
“The pride of space technology, although quantity is strictly controlled, and they’re destroyed routinely every three years. In the end, humanity is still willing to live with the inconvenience.” Butcher smiled.
Wang Zheng naturally knew that this thing bent the rules of space. If there were too many, the space-time continuum would become unstable. Of course, the numbers and control today were completely different from that of the past. There was not much danger, but the Milky Way Alliance still controlled it very strictly. Only very few departments had it, and they could all be traced and destroyed.
Butcher had really gone out on a limb to protect him.
With this, Wang Zheng had no more worries. The ship ticket had been booked by Ai Xiaolu. In this while, the answer from Ai Xiaolu had not been promising. Tita Star looked peaceful, but this was merely the calm before the storm. Wang Zheng would never let Tyrant Su and the rest face it alone. That guy was really on a memorable honeymoon.
Wang Zheng had nothing to pack. Only, there was somebody he had to see no matter what before he left. He had promised.
“What? How could you go there? You can’t! I won’t let you!” Huiyin almost leaped up.
Actually, after Huiyin had received the news, she had been secretly keeping up with it. Perhaps Angela was laboring under the misconception that the princess was actually growing up, and beginning to take interest in international affairs.
Wang Zheng patted Huiyin’s head. “You know I must go. I came to say farewell to you. Aina… I won’t bother her. If… I mean if… I don’t come back, please let the past disappear.”
At that moment, Huiyin’s large eyes were brimming with tears. Wang Zheng smiled. “Silly girl, don’t cry. Look, I’m whole and in one piece, aren’t I? And Old Butcher has given me the runic mech. If I can’t fight, running will be no problem. I’m just making sure the worst case scenario is covered. Besides, don’t you trust in my ability?”
Huiyin rubbed her nose a few times. “I don’t care, you have to come back as soon as possible!”
“I will. With such a cute princess waiting for me, I’ll come back even if I have to crawl.”
“You said it. Pinky promise,” Huiyin said.
“Ok, ok. Pinky promise.”
Hooking Huiyin’s fair, little finger, seeing her serious expression, Wang Zheng felt his heart warm.
Wang Zheng left with no second thought. Tita Star, here I come. If they wanted war, then war he would give them. Rather than a wretched existence, why not live on forever in blood!
Returning to her place, Huiyin was dispirited. Aina was reading a book. Seeing Huiyin’s countenance, she put the book down, asking with a smile, “My dear sister, who has bullied you?”
“Nobody bullied me. I just spoke with some classmates, and I’m angry enough to burst.”
Aina hugged Huiyin and said, “Oh, what is it that could anger our little princess? Let me hear it.”
“Sis, recently all the international relations specialists are discussing the Tita Star situation. They… they said… that it’s our Aslan behind the scenes… is this true?” Huiyin asked. If it were not for the fact that her last escapade to the Moon had cost her the control rights to her own Princess ship, she would definitely be sneakily following Wang Zheng there now.
Aina was stunned, then answered calmly, “Huiyin, these are national matters. They’re not what we need to concern ourselves with now.”
“Then it’s true…” Huiyin mumbled. Aina did not reply, enough proof that Aslan was at least involved in this. What was going on?
In the end, it was the Aslan Empire. Her own country. How should she face this?
