“Doctor, how is his condition?” In the hospital were Lan Ling, Mu Sen, Yan Xiaosu, and Zhao Elin. Zhao Elin still had a bandage on her head. Yan Xiaosu now guarded his wife like a treasure. Elin was not used to this, but Yan Xiaosu did not care.
“Strange, very strange. The wound is not serious, just a few fractures, and some scrapes. However…”
“Spit it out! Stop playing for time!” Yan Xiaosu said.
The recovery conditions weren’t bad on Tita. Lan Ling had spent quite a bit of effort in this regard.
“His mental faculties seem to have some sort of connectional impediment.”
“Spare the jargon, what happened!” This time, even Lan Ling was anxious.
“It means that he no longer feels pain.”
They all heaved a sigh of relief. As long as there was no danger to his life, everything else could be treated in good time. Given current technology, what was there to be afraid of?
Mu Sen’s expression had been very serene. Only his eyes were filled with gratitude. The Tita people would be reborn on their land. The trouble had passed.
“I leave Ada to your care. I have to go out to attend to matters,” Mu Sen said.
Mu Sen had finally used the honorific. This came from his heart. In that instant, Mu Sen believed.
Outside the presidential palace, countless giants were milling around, a sea that stretched so far, one could not see its end. Until Mu Sen appeared.
“Ada is in good health!”
HOOTA…
HOOTA…
HOOTA…
The cheers rang out over Tita. They were even more ecstatic than when they had won.
From then on, anyone who had entertained thoughts of attacking Tita Star would have to think it over. What would it cost to have to destroy every single citizen and soldier of Tita Star? The supergravity energy ore’s price was still astronomical, but the figure had a limit. The cost was too high, and trading was more profitable.
Wang Zheng could feel it. In truth, this degree of hurt was nothing to Wang Zheng. He had suffered worse before. In the magic cube, Bonehead was still a silent, gigantic skeleton. That silver energy had come from the shrine. Although he had not known how it had come, clearly it was not permanent. But he had permanently lost his sense of pain.
Not hurting was a good thing. He would not need to grit his teeth and endure. Wang Zheng was fine. At least little fatty seemed fine, and Zhao Elin looked unharmed as well. All was good.
After this war, seeing innumerable people struggle, Wang Zheng had changed. Humans must always move towards maturity. He knew which direction the future had to go.
The fleets left, and communications were restored. Ye Zisu, Ai Xiaolu, and the rest had finally received the news that Wang Zheng was fine.
Mu Sen and the rest had already come to a consensus. Wang Zheng’s mech had been destroyed, but he had escaped in time, merely injured.
As for the mystical mech, they said nothing to outsiders. Mu Sen and the rest naturally regarded it as a power of the shrine. This was the Tita people’s belief. But it could never be exposed. Without question, the Tita people’s faith was stronger than ever, and the shrine had already become a prohibited zone.
Knowing that Wang Zheng was fine, Ai Xiaolu became lively. She had not played for a while. The sales were here. Should she take advantage of the situation? That would really let down her reputation as the financial demoness.
Because they had lost the war, Diweng and Jiro were in bad positions. In both federations’ financial markets, someone had made huge amounts of futures, and the astronomical investment figure came crashing down. It added fuel to the fire. The investment market was always ready to eat those who were down. Many venture capitals flooded these markets. It would be idiotic not to go for nothing more than the price of an airticket.
They were not worried that these two federations would pull any tricks. Tita Star was unafraid – the barefooted had little to fear from those with shoes. At least they were wearing their shorts, which they did not dare take off. Even if they did, the power behind these investors would not let them.
Next was Tita Star. Mu Sen and Lan Ling were unquestionably fairly busy. Both had to go to the Milky Way Alliance headquarters. This matter did not end with the war. The Tita people’s loss, and the way that the Alliance had handled the matter, would all be paid for.
This was the rules of the Alliance. Even Aslan and Arbiter could not break them. If you broke it, then no one would follow them in the future. Once the system failed, then the Alliance would descend into chaos. This was something that nobody could bear.
The future discussion turned to the question of how to punish these two federations, the war compensation, and post-disaster reconstruction.
Nobody had thought that the first to leap up would actually be Aslan. Aslan strongly condemned the attack this time around, and was willing to help Tita Star rebuild unconditionally.
What a noble nation.
But before long, Mu Sen’s reply surprised the Alliance. He rejected Aslan’s aid. What an attitude.
Without proof, Mu Sen could not blindly accuse, and doing so would simply escalate the situation. But his refusal was a display of attitude. What planet would dare to refuse such a power?
And this undoubtedly made Hail Cloud Alliance, Lya Sphinx, Astina, and the other superpowers glad. They all expressed willingness to rebuild Tita. Mu Sen accepted them all. Everyone understood his meaning.
And many other countries had expressed support as well. This was the first time that anyone had delivered a sharp slap to Prime Minister Kashawen on an international stage. It was the first time that the Aslan Empire was left hanging.
In such a one-sided situation, all that was left was the matter of recompense. Of course, there was some haggling, but basically it was not a huge problem
The losers had to give in, even if they did not want to. The victors would have their fill. This was war.
Of course, Hail Cloud Alliance and the other countries’ push behind the scenes was the reason why the Tita people had come out ahead. If this was just a regional dispute, it might have ended without fanfare.
Many politicians felt that this was also an attack by the other superpowers on Aslan and Arbiter. The attack had succeeded, and the Tita people were lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time.
Outsiders would always only see the surface.
On the space shuttle, Wang Zheng was already fine, but Lan Ling insisted on feeding him.
“If you do that, I’ll be a kid!” Wang Zheng protested.
“Be content. An upstanding Milky Way Alliance member is personally feeding and waiting on you. How many people in the world get such treatment?” Lan Ling smiled.
One had to learn to be strong and face life with a smile.
“Fine. I’ll eat.” Wang Zheng knew that he could not out-argue Lan Ling. Eat he would.
“Eat more.”
“I’m already full. I can’t.”
“Your body is recovering. You need to eat more. One more mouthful, just one more mouthful,” Lan Ling wheedled.
Wang Zheng was losing it as well. He had lost his sense of pain, not his sense of taste. Given his appetite, he was already full. He had no idea how much he had been fed. Were they trying to fatten him like a pig…
“Is that boy Mu Zhen adapting well?” Wang Zheng asked. As the first giant to ride a space shuttle, he needed some time to adjust.
In the other cabin, Student Mu Zhen was puking grandly. Giants were truly unsuited to space. Poor Mu Zhen had been hurling the entire trip.
That’s right. Student Mu Zhen. Mu Zhen was about to become the first person from Tita Star to enter Elite Academy X. Of course, he would be the newest member of Saruman Snake Battle Team.
On Tita Star, everything returned to normal. Although many things needed to be done after the war, order was basically restored. And after this war, Tita Star had become more united than ever. Victory not only brought faith, but also a sense of home.
Everyone believed that Tita’s future would be brighter than before. And various large financial groups were more enthusiastic than ever. Even a fool would understand the current international situation. The Milky Way Alliance Chairman had publicly announced that the pirates responsible for this blatant invasion would be judged.
The judgment had been decided, and all that remained was how the punishment should be carried out. Under such circumstances, what was there left to worry about for the financial groups?
Added to the favored treatment across the galaxy, and the assistance investments, Tita Star’s investments would definitely have their profits ensured.
Investments chased profits, and suddenly everyone was alive again.
Yan Xiaosu would have a lot on his plate, but he did not care. All he cared about was taking care of Zhao Elin. He would never have thought that at the moment of danger, Zhao Elin would push him aside. This little angel must have been sent by heaven to save him.
“Xiaosu, it’s not that serious. The doctor said that as long as I don’t bump it, it’ll be fine.” Zhao Elin was exasperated, but also had a warm feeling in her heart. This honeymoon had really been a myriad of experiences. Even a war.
“No way, Honey. Mom and Dad already told me to make sure that you are fully recovered before going back.”
“I know. I’m fine. You go about your business. I’m sure there are a lot of things waiting on you.” Zhao Elin smiled.
Yan Xiaosu shook his head. “Trivial matters. Here, Dear, eat another mouthful.”
