Luo Er smiles slightly. “Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate this. It is indeed a very difficult situation now. My father is mentally prepared. ”
Luo Er was rather calm still. She had always been very low key. Maybe if Ryan was not the chief chancellor, it might be easier for her. Even if he was not in this position, their family was still rich and influential in Gemini. There would not be many changes. Of course, she also knew that in her father’s current position, he was no longer concerned about the material things around him. Mostly, it was about achieving his political ideas. Right from the start, Ryan had firmly believed that what he had maintained was the best way for the development of mankind.
Monopoly by the stronger nations would eventually lead to the dominance of the stronger nations until it was beyond control.
However, imbalance seemed to be human nature and an inevitable outcome. This trend seemed to be something that Ryan could not stop. He had tried his best and the rest was up to God’s will.
Luo Er was still very happy. But she soon steered the conversation back to Saruman Snake. This was something that they could do. Ryan’s issues were too high a level for them. Even for Ai Xiaolu, her influence was limited. They might be able to lead something and make some contributions, but to really have any real controlling power was still a long time to come.
In fact, deep down in her heart, Luo Er felt that it might be a good thing for her father to take a break.
Ai Xiaolu also understood. Ai Xiaolu had a distinctive character. When she admired someone and believed that the person could be a good partner, she would want the best for them. It was true for Wang Zheng and Luo Er. Hence, she would consider the benefits for them too. This was the result of the nurturing of the Ai family since her childhood years. She would try her best in this matter. Unfortunately, her support was really limited. Of course, it was the thought that counted rather than whether she could really achieve it.
Luo Er’s influence was key to the development of KO Group. If Ryan could not keep his position, it would be difficult for KO Group to become a top financial institution. This was because the traditional multinational companies that had relied on the few big empires had almost divided up all the territories. It was hard to move forward without political asylum. Merely getting a flight route was already that tormenting.
It was not hard to imagine how much more difficult it would be without Ryan in his position.
Unfortunately, the influence of the Solar System was not enough. The Hail Cloud Alliance had enough influence though. But KO Group’s roots were not in the Hail Cloud Alliance. Ai Xiaolu could be considered as the military advisor of Wang Zheng. If Wang Zheng wanted to realise his ideals in the future, he would need to have the right to speak. KO Group already had the embryonic form, but the toughest was what was to come.
Actually, Luo Er understood Ai Xiaolu’s intentions completely. However, this girl very often did not seem to understand herself. When she considered her needs, it was naturally because there was a mutual understanding. But mostly, it was still because of Wang Zheng. Thus, Luo Er felt that this was more real. She did not believe in love without reason.
Of course, this was not something that could have any outcome soon. For now, what was important was the finals for Saruman Snake.
Although they were considered very successful thus far, there was still a difference between the winner and the runner-up.
If they were the runner-up, then Saruman Snake would at best be remembered by people for a number of years. As time passed, they would be forgotten. But if they were the champions, they would be remembered by people for at least a decade. Similarly, their influence would definitely be different too. In view of the current situation, even becoming an eternal classic was not impossible.
Sword Shield Rose battle team…
Lin Feng… this line-up. The ambition of the Aslan Empire. This would really not be easy.
Aragorn’s Soulless battle team did not enjoy any advantage in time, geographical, or social conditions. While they possessed ferocity, they lacked the flexibility. Atlantis’ Sea Queen battle team had the talent but lacked the determination. Atlantis’”proactive aggression” was insufficient. However, Aslan’s Sword Shield Rose battle team possessed the advantages of every team and had home ground advantage. They could just sit back and wait for things to take care of themselves!
When an empire’s power and fortune accumulated to a certain extent, geniuses were bound to be born. It was seemingly accidental, but it was all preordained. Under the rule of Kashawen, Aslan had become strong, powerful, and prosperous. The atmosphere within the country was also top-notch. No top-ranking officials in any other country had as much self-discipline as Aslan. They did not rule out enjoying any luxuries, but they were proud of the elite model. This was the essence that gave birth to Lin Feng and his men of Sword Shield Rose.
This was the will of destiny.
Wang Zheng’s appearance was more like going against heaven’s will. Having come this far, both of them had the opportunity. The winner would take away the heaven’s will of the loser.
As a man, if he fell, he could get up and start again. But destiny was different. Furthermore, the opportunities for both of them were not equal. Lin Feng could fail once. He possessed a lot to begin with, so he could continue. If Wang Zheng failed, he could still get by. But the peak that he had wanted to achieve would be greatly compromised.
Ai Xiaolu was very aware of this. So was Luo Er. Their births determined their outlook. Unlike Yan Xiaosu, Ye Zisu, and the rest, who could only see what was in front of them.
Wang Zheng had affected many people now.
Right now, in the training grounds of Saruman Snake, Lie Xin and Mu Zhen were battling hard. Internal sparring sessions were like real battles. Although they might not be able to comprehend anything immediately, at least they had to maintain their current form. Everyone had their own styles and thinking.
After practice, while wiping her sweat, Lie Xin noticed that Achilles was quietly reading a book instead. Everyone’s choices were rather unique. Although Achilles had recovered, he had yet to undergo much intense training. He was mostly still adapting and then going back to reading.
What are you reading? You look so entranced,” asked a Lie Xin.
Achilles smiled. “Dark philosophy.”
Lie Xin was not interested in such things. Achilles was a weird person too. “Where’s Wang Zheng? Is he still zoning out there? He’s also not eating. Is this a starving rhythm?!”
“Keke. Wang Zheng should be meditating. Are you worried about him?”
“Geez… I’m concerned about the finals. Who the hell cares about you guys!” Lie Xin pouted her mouth. However, Achilles could see through her guilty conscience.
Putting down his book, Achilles turned and looked towards the direction where Wang Zheng was. Inside his room, Wang Zheng was as still as a statue.
For the first time, Wang Zheng could feel that Charcoal was indeed really competent. He had underestimated this squarish fellow.
He was having this training session because he had defeated Dina Atlas. This was because Lin Feng was much stronger than Dina Atlas.
Wang Zheng did not know how Charcoal knew, but after the battle with Dina Atlas, he was certain that Charcoal was not fooling with him.
Bonehead’s training was focused on building the physical self, creating a strong foundation for himself. Charcoal said that he did not possess any power. However, in actual fact, the biggest power that Charcoal controlled was knowledge. It was just like when he gave him tips about the Primordial Regression Technique.
If Wang Zheng was hailed as a prodigy of the minor five elements, then Lin Feng was the super prodigy of the major five elements. This was achieved from the accumulated wealth and influence of the Aslan Empire. It was invested on Lin Feng. Of course, Lin Feng was also a natural-born genius. He could take it.
He would be calm and composed because he was strong both mind and strength. Hence, Lin Feng could be calm in dealing with everything, including teaching Lear a lesson without any concerns. This was because they were never at the same level, even from the beginning.
