It did not take much effort to find Mobo. News travelled fast in Maklou, so in no time at all, everyone knew that the rulers of Maklou had changed. The Julian family, which was on the brink of annihilation, had turned the tables and dramatically destroyed all the management levels of Hong Lirong and the Bill family.
While the two big families continued to have great strength, they had lost their leaders and dared not make any hasty decisions. Everyone had realized that this was the move of the Milky Way Alliance.
Mobo sent people to control the situation, and another group to look for Piglet with Wang Zheng. At this moment, Piglet was the key.
Lear really wanted to get involved, but it was a pity that he had now become just a spectator. He had missed completing his grand plan by a bit as he was stopped by Wang Zheng. However, Lear could tolerate all this. At least this matter showed him an opportunity. Such opportunities would definitely appear more than once.
Thinking about that, Lear very calmly became a spectator. His main concern was the Saint Sect. Lear did not know if his performance this time was considered as acceptable.
Wang Zheng did not have the time to care about Lear. He and Mobo, along with their people, quickly went to the rubbish dump. In these few days of captivity, Mobo thought that it was the end. He only hoped that little Julian could live simply. Honestly, such battles were too complicated. He was old and little Julian was too young. Even if he grew up, was such a life a good one?
Perhaps God had heard his prayers and such a big twist actually came. This was simply unbelievable; was this the power of the Greatest King?
Honestly, Mobo did not trust in Wang Zheng’s ability. So what if he was very strong? Could an unarmored body withstand lasers?
It was not that he had not seen powerful people, but he indeed had not seen truly powerful people before.
Whether it was Wang Zheng or Lear, if they went in recklessly, they would have died very quickly. Speaking about this, Lear had to be properly thanked for this matter. If not for Lear creating the chance to fight, Wang Zheng could never have solved the problem. The best result was that he would bring Piglet away. Halfway into his journey, Wang Zheng finally understood that he was the one who had reaped the unexpected benefits.
Piglet was hiding alone at the huge rubbish dump. People had really searched this place, but it was too smelly and disgusting here. Even the gangsters of the Bill family could not stand it. They did not think that a young master used to comfort could tolerate this place.
So they briefly searched for show and never came back.
Piglet was curled in a ball under a discarded robot. In the dark, it seemed extra scary. At this moment, he could not feel strong anymore. Family, even if they were not close family members, were still family. However, now his family was gone, and his only family member, Grandpa Mobo, was caught. Even the hero in his heart had disappeared. Piglet felt that the whole world had abandoned him.
At the beginning, he was still strong. However, not to mention a child, even an adult would feel desperate in such a situation.
He could not fear, he could not retreat, only perseverance was victory!
Piglet told himself repeatedly. One day he would grow into a warrior like Wang Zheng. He would pilot mecha to help the weak and get rid of evil. One day, he would also become a hero.
He definitely would!
The little guy clenched his fists tightly. This was the only way to stop himself from trembling. He must not cry, must not surrender!
There were footsteps. Piglet quickly covered his mouth. He was afraid of losing self-control.
“Piglet!”
Wang Zheng’s hearty voice cut through the night sky.
“All of you spread out, look for the young master!” Mobo said coldly.
Julian’s people immediately spread out. Hearing this roar, Piglet’s tears flowed like a river and he ran out.
In the night, a little silhouette ran crazily. They did not know what happened, but the sky was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning. Closely followed was pouring rain. But everyone felt happy.
“Brother Wang Zheng!” Piglet rushed into Wang Zheng’s arms and then wiped his tears and snot onto Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng also did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Piglet, warriors cannot cry.”
“I’m a kid!”
“Haha, looks like your head is clear. It means that you are in a relatively good state, en, the first stage to becoming a warrior. I’ll give you 10 points.”
Wang Zheng said and lightly patted Piglet’s trembling shoulders.
Finally, a smile spread on Piglet’s skinny face.
Mobo also shook his head emotionally. He looked up at the sudden downpour. Tonight was fated to be a sleepless night.
“Mr. Wang, I’ll trouble you with the young master. I still have some follow-up to clear,” Mobo said.
Wang Zheng nodded. A change of rulers was always accompanied by blood and violence. No one could stop it. Except at this moment, he also thought that it would be beneficial if Piglet could grow up in a better environment.
Mobo took his men with him, their killing intent obvious. While Mobo was old, the old man knew even clearer how he could not be soft-hearted now.
A VIP guest room was arranged for Lear. Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Lear could not feel happy. After calming down and thinking about it, he realized that he had given Wang Zheng great help for no reason. If not for his identity as a Saint candidate, Hong Lirong and the Bill family would never have met at this timing. He was the key person in the fight this time.
He had let Wang Zheng reap the benefits without any effort. Besides, there was something wrong in his recollection of the process. Based on Wang Zheng’s personality, he was not an arrogant person, so why would he purposely force him to make a move?
Wang Zheng should know his personality, unless… he had done it on purpose!
Lear’s heart skipped a beat. Just now, when Wang Zheng exploded outwards, his moves were very vicious. But they were too vicious. He did not need to use such big moves at all, based on his ability, unless he was injured.
Based on Yue Jing’s personality, she most likely did not let Wang Zheng off easy either.
He seemed to have missed a perfect opportunity!
Wang Zheng, that asshole, was really f**king sly!
Lear smashed his fist angrily on the glass. The storm outside worsened. It was accompanied by gunshots, but that was none of his business anymore.
Lear’s gaze kept flickering, except he did not know what to do. After thinking, Lear rubbed his still swollen face. The corner of his lips curled into a smile. Actually, at this moment, the best thing he could do was report the good news of victory and then have a good, deep sleep. The fight with Wang Zheng had to progress slowly.
He was not without gains this time. At least he knew that that rascal Wang Zheng had made mistakes too. Perhaps he should be bolder next time.
Back within the range of the Julian family’s powers, Piglet finally could safely have a good night’s sleep. Wang Zheng was in the room beside him and had already reported the situation to the Academy. He briefly reported on the process. He knew that Lear would do that, but the two of them simplified the matter almost coincidentally, and reported that they cooperatively completed the mission.
Lear did not want to raise any more trouble, neither did Wang Zheng.
Additionally, he relayed the good news to Butcher – that he had found Qi Bin and Kulifa. Butcher really hated the two of them.
And now what Wang Zheng needed to do was consider how to settle the situation of Maklou.
It was not good to return empty-handed. This was the logic that Old Merchant had taught him since young.
Maklou’s special situation decided that even if it were the Julian family holding the power, they could not totally pledge their allegiance to the Milky Way Alliance. Actually, internally, the Milky Way Alliance also did not want that. The existence of a grey area was, in itself, meaningful. Hence, Maklou had to continue to exist. It was just that the rules had to be reset.
Of course, the Milky Way Alliance side also needed a reason. It was also not impossible for Maklou to gain independence. The situations of Tita Star and Maklou were still very different. This was an established mining star, and the benefits involved were great and far-reaching. Once the benefits were changed, the whole benefits network would be upset. However, if they controlled it well, then they could have a win-win situation.
When things were settled, he had to have a good talk with Mobo.
Under a leaderless situation, the matters were resolved faster than imagined. Some surrendered, some handed in their pledge of loyalty; it was almost effortless. The main point was that the remainder of Hong Lirong and Bill thought that the Milky Way Alliance had made a vicious move and even sent special agent troops in through some channels. It was a typical situation of not understanding the situation, yet thinking that the other party seemed very strong.
The biggest advantage of Maklou was that it restricted entry. But once large numbers of powerful people entered, then this place was done for.
The World of Bliss was also locked down. The high ranking officials and the wealthy inside were also anxious. At this moment, they could not leave, but it was also worrisome to stay. Those who were here were more or less problematic. If the Milky Way Alliance took over…
The storm had ended. While Mobo was a little tired, he was still energetic and very alert. It was practically unbelievable to have such an ending. The next thing was how to handle the Milky Way Alliance.
And he had to discuss this matter properly with Wang Zheng. This was as Mobo felt that Wang Zheng was no simple person. And, of course, the key was that this person was reliable.
“Mobo, do you want to have some rest first?” Wang Zheng laughed. This old man was even more anxious than him.
“Mr. Wang Zheng is both the Julian family’s savior and benefactor. How can I be negligent? I can still do quite a bit with my set of old bones.” Mobo laughed. “Young Master is also tired and has yet to wake up. I think the two of us should discuss things now.”
Mobo had expressed enough respect.
Wang Zheng nodded and signaled for Mobo to start first.
Mobo also did not hold back. Their experience could be counted as going through disaster together. The trust between them was enough, and its core also stemmed from little Julian. His age was a fact; how much longer could he live? Hence, he had to pave the road for Piglet. In such a dog-eat-dog world, reliability was the most important thing.
The first time he saw Wang Zheng, Mobo knew that the young man in front of him was no simple man. He had experience and was responsible. Also, this person would never do despicable things.
“Is that Lear problematic? Should I handle it?” Mobo suddenly asked. He was also sharp with experience. He had seen all sorts of people. Even though it was just a few simple gazes and arrangements, he knew that this person called Lear was suspicious.
Wang Zheng laughed. “Mr. Mobo, it’s a bit complicated with Lear, but please leave him alone. Also, we don’t have to be so polite with each other.”
Mobo nodded. “Haha, that’s true. Then I’ll be the older one and call you my younger brother. You also know about Maklou’s situation. I’ll contact the Milky Way Alliance and make a certain offer. However, the current situation and order of Maklou have to remain. If not, it’ll crash.”
