Chapter 488: The bold 36D

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Seeing that Wang Zheng dared to face her, the Red Fox patted Wang Zheng's shoulders. "You have some guts. Alright, we shall not return sober tonight. Do you know how to play dice?"

"I know a little." Wang Zheng could feel the effects of the hard liquor. He smiled and felt that such a feeling wasn't too bad.

At this moment, Jing Long had sat down across too and ordered 2 cups of the same hard liquor. Without another word, he finished it in 1 gulp. "How could you leave the gambling god behind when you were playing dice?"

Lao Xiong and Chang Dadan did not follow. There was no doubt Lao Xiong loved alcohol but he loved the girls even more. It was a rare occasion that he was in the Lan Kao City. If he was drunk, there wouldn't be any after party. Drinking beer was enough for him to enjoy himself. Moreover, the Captain was known to tease others and it would always turn out bad in the end. Jing Long was in love with the captain and therefore was willing to fall into it. As for Wang Zheng, he was the classic example of not knowing how deep the water was.

Jing Long went to take the dice excitedly. Soon, the seat beside the Red Fox was taken by someone. He had a tall and muscular physique with a dark skin tone. His whole body was exploding with muscles and he looked aggressive.

"Hi beauty. My name is Auckland. Do you want to play together? My treat."

"Get lost!" said the Red Fox.

"Hahaha. I liked girls who say no. Beauty, the little chicken beside you is too tender. Come play with me and I assured you that you would feel great."

"Brat, get lost before I cripple you." Jing Long had returned.

Lao Xiong and Chang Dadan who was sitting at the sofa at the side had stood up. Lao Xiong had removed his shirt decisively and smacking his body. How dared he harass the Captain.

Auckland stood up and sneered. "Yo, are you comparing numbers. Your dog eyes must be blind!" He waved his hands as he said.

Rumbling… Sounds of moving tables and chairs propagated throughout. Over twenty people had stood up under the command of Auckland.

"Brat, I will give you a chance now. Get on your knees and crawl out." Auckland laughed and opened up both of his lands while pointing to his crouch.

Pa!

A beer bottle smashed ruthlessly on the head of Auckland who was laughing arrogantly.

Everyone was stunned. The one who had made the move was the 36D beauty who had been silent. "Shut your nonsense, get rid of them."

How bold was it! It was just like the 36D!

The Captain had ordered and there weren't any other things to say. Jing Long and the rest had rushed ahead into the fight while screaming.

"Student soldier, what are you waiting for? Getting in a group fight occasionally would be good for relaxing." laughed the Red Fox. At this moment, she seemed even more wild and sexy.

Student Wang headed into the fight. They were brothers in the same battle trench. There were no reasons that he would be looking from the side while his brothers were fighting.

One could tell that Jing Long and the rest were not dealing fatal moves but were just fighting indiscriminately. Three people were grabbed by Lao Xiong and he had already taken a punch on his left eye.

This was a messy fight. The weapons were benches and beer bottles. Lao Xiong and Jing Long had taken out several of them but they had taken several heavy blows too. However, they were having a good time fighting.

The Red Fox watched on with a smile. A pair of beautiful legs crossed and the Red Fox signaled to the bartender who was hiding at the bottom of the bar table. "Two portions of the strongest liquor."

The bartender did not say an additional word and passed the whole liquor bottle to the Red Fox.

The Red Fox pushed aside the empty alcohol cups and smiled gently. What a lively and mesmerising night. A fighting man looked pretty cool.

After a fight and drink, the few of them were staggering on the streets. As for the instigator, the Red Fox, she had already disappeared. She knew that she had to attend an important occasion and had to maintain the proper decorum.

As for her subordinates, it would be great for them to release themselves once in a while.

Although they were staggering, the rest had gone ahead and enjoyed their night life. Wang Zheng was left walking alone on the way back.

It wasn't the alcohol that made one drunk but the drinker himself. Looking at the boundless starry sky, Wang Zheng suddenly felt very awake. Was he feeling sorry for himself? Did he regret it?

There were never such words in Wang Zheng's dictionary!

In the faraway Aslan Empire.

The ending of IG and the bitter defeat of the empire was regretful in the eyes of the people of Aslan. However, an inter-school IG wasn't representative of anything. The empire was still unparalleled and could look down on the entire Milky Way Galaxy. It was just that Princess Aina had headed for Atlantis and the citizens were missing her. Aina's prestige in the empire was extremely high. A kind, elegant and non-rebellious princess would always be the ideal type for everyone. Moreover, the princess had headed to Atlantis for the improvement of the empire alone. This had garnered her even more adoration.

During the period, the second Princess, Lin Huiyin had replaced Aina in executing her tasks.

Currently, Princess Huiyin was the most discussed person among the people of Aslan. As compared to Aina who seemed unapproachable, Huiyin was a kid and more approachable. Moreover, her biggest hobby was music and was well known. She felt just like someone beside you.

The styles of the 2 princess were clearly different but both were adored. Therefore, Lin Huiyin taking over the duties of Aina is logical and had not caused any gossip.

Aurora and Oz had continued with their normal schooling life. The people of Aslan did not place much emphasis on the results of a failure. What was more important was the process, and if they could become stronger during this process. Clearly, the dominance of Olivios had given them new motivation. IG was only the first battle. There would be a lot more opportunities in the future. Obviously, the performance of the various pros made them realised that they wouldn't be able to depend on their past glorious days for long.

Royal College…

Lin Huiyin was processing huge amounts of documents. Her world was collapsing. After experiencing freedom for so many years, everything had changed since then. Ahhhhh. Why were there so many things from the Royal Family for her to handle?

"Angela, how much more do I have to process before I can take a break?"

Lin Huiyin raised her pitiful face. Her star-like eyes were shimmering with a little tears.

"Your Highness, you are almost there. "

Angela wasn't affected a bit.

"Why not you come over and give me a hand. I would just be responsible for signing."

"Your Highness, I would not want to infringe on the law."

Angela rejected her advances calmly.

Lin Huiyin had lie flat on the work table without concern for her image. She really wanted to go on a strike…

"Ring ring…"

There was someone knocking on the door softly.

Under the supervision of Angela, Lin Huiyin sat up straight helplessly. The posture of the Royal Princess had to be perfect.

"Please come in."

"I'm sorry for the lack of manners."

As the doors were pushed opened, Aurora and Oz walked in and saluted courteously.

"Why is it that the two of you have come again… Eh, did you have any other matters on your mind?"

Just when she wanted to whine about it, she held it back under the supervision of Angela.

Aurora and Oz smiled and answered," Your Highness, this was regarding the Royal College Exchange Day. We would require the authorization from your Highness."

"This would also require my authorization?" Lin Huiyin was dumbfounded. She really did not know how her sister could stand such repetitive work. It was too mechanical and was just killing her inspiration.

'Yes, your Highness."

"Alright."

Although Lin Huiyin wasn't happy, she was very serious when handling these "evil" documents. She would look though every word and sentence. When there was an area she did not understand, she would immediately consult others and would not just carelessly sign on it.

When she finally completed all the work, Lin Huiyin couldn't hold it back anymore and asked," Aurora and Oz, are we friends?"

"Of course!" Aurora smiled. It was a heavy burden for Lin Huiyin who had been living a carefree life without accepting the complete Royal Succession education.

"To be able to become friends with your Highness was my honour." Aurora had to be extremely knight-like during these moments.

"Since we are friends, tell me when I can be liberated from all these?"

Lin Huiyin held her small faced pitifully. She had been handling these matters everyday and had not had any inspiration for song writing for an entire month. There really wasn't any inspiration at all!

Aurora smiled faintly and replied, "Your Highness, Huiyin. Please forgive me for my lack of manners. It was only a matter of time for you to handle the nation's matters. It would be necessary to be learning all these now."

In other words, it would mean that such days once started would have no end.

"Your Highness, music would only be a hobby in the end." Oz had a simpler way to put it. "Living was a form of responsibility."

How old-fashioned was it? Were they still teenagers? Huiyin was desperate. These people did not understand and would not understand her world. Unknowingly, she recalled Wang Zheng's wicked smile. If only if he was around. He had a sense of responsibilities but wasn't old fashioned. How boring would life be if one did not have any adventurous spirit?

A thousand sentences and words could be summarised in a sentence, "Hopefully sister could come back soon."

"Please pardon me for being direct. Your Highness, even if Aina, her highness, was to return, as the second princess, you would have to shoulder your responsibilities after you reached adulthood." Aurora said truthfully.

Lin Huiyin waved her hands speechlessly. There wasn't anyone who could understand her. Aina wasn't around and the message she sent to Wang Zheng seemed like it had fallen into the sea. She didn't receive any replies from him. Could it be that he was really killed by someone else? Lin Huiyin was a little worried at the thought of it.

It wasn't that Aurora or Oz really couldn't understand. However, there were some things that they couldn't say.

Princess Aina had really screwed up big time this time. Although the matter was suppressed in the end and the implications had been mitigated to the lowest level, there were still implications.

"Let's have a drink together?"

On the hall way, Aurora suddenly asked.

Oz was taken aback slightly and laughed," It was rare that you took the initiative. It should be my treat."

"Let's go to your house."

"My house?"

"What was the matter? Am I not welcom?"

"Don't tell me you are interested in my sister."

"Get lost. Your sister is only in the first year of high school!"

"Cough, you are right. Wait, even if she was older, don't you dare dream about it."

"Who would have thought of it! Forget it. It should be fine if we just go to my house."

"Since you had said to go to my house, don't stand on ceremony."

Oz had come from an ordinary family. With his hard work, he had become the pride of the street. In this place, Oz was their honour and to be able to serve the Royal Family was also an honour for them.

"It is really small." Aurora commented simply.

Oz smiled faintly and replied," Although the house is small, there is more warmth!"

Both of them were both friends and competitors and wouldn't give in to the other no matter where they went. Although Oz was a normal citizen, he never felt inferior or conceited. He was able to maintain his dignity and resilience.

After a few large cups of beer, both of them were a little light headed. They weren't drunk but were finally able to relax their tensed up states of mind. Some words couldn't be said without the effects of alcohol.

"Oz, I heard that Wang Zheng was once a member of the Disciplinary Association. Tell me why would the princess fall in love with him? What is so good about him?" Aurora stared at Oz.

"How would I know? I had wanted to ask you the same question."

Both of them remained silent and gulped down 2 big cups of beer melancholic.

Both of them were the most loyal knights of the princess and held extreme admiration of the princess in their hearts. They were willing to sacrifice their life for the princess. However, the Princess had surprised everyone by choosing Wang Zheng.

Chapter 489: Wang Zheng's Influence

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"The truth is that from the perspective of a warrior, Wang Zheng is someone that deserves respect." Aurora had given a verdict in the end. Wang Zheng's performance during the IG was something that he had to concede to when he recalled it.

"I have no objections with this point. However, these are two completely different matters. How could a person from Earth deserve to be with Her Highness the Princess?"

"I feel that the most important thing is the heart." Oz suddenly took the contrarian view. "I feel that Wang Zheng has a form of charisma that we do not have."

"Such things are hard to define. Let's not talk about it. Come and have a drink for the honor of our empire!"

The Mayans, Olivios, and… Wang Zheng!

"Have you made up your mind about going to that place?"

"Yeah, and I believe you have already submitted your application too."

"Olivios has already gone. I don't ever want to lose again."

These proud people would never want to lose again. The battle during the IG had changed the lives of many people.

Wang Zheng had arrived at the banquet in advance. This was basic respect for the host. As for the birthday present, Wang Zheng had racked his brains but still couldn't think of anything. Considering Lan Ling's current condition, she wouldn't be lacking in anything. However, he still chose a crystal bracelet after shopping for a long time. There were three small stars on it and it looked great from the first glance. Therefore, Wang Zheng had chosen it. The present might not be worth much, but it was the thought that mattered. He rarely spent so much effort to buy things. After all, it was for his savior.

The Lan family's mansion in Lan Kao City was full of people. The birthday of the Missy of the Lan family wasn't a small event, and it had strong political implications. This was a gathering to showcase the official alliance of the new generation leader of the Lan family and the people of Tita. Everyone was also interested in finding out if the people of Tita would be supportive of the new leader.

The position of the Lan family on the Titatitan Star had been solid because of their relationship with the people of Tita. The people of Tita had also refused to interact with other humans. This was also the reason why other powers weren't able to rise and had been suppressed over the years.

Many people were hoping that there would be a day when the people of Tita were sick of the Lan family. However, the successful succession by Lan Ling had crushed their dreams. However, Lan Jiang belonged to the previous generation and Lan Ling was still a little girl. How much support she could receive from the people of Tita would be hard to determine at this moment.

There were some who came with the intent to congratulate, while there were also others with bad intentions. This had resulted in the birthday banquet becoming a huge gathering.

Wang Zheng had arrived on foot. The entrance was already full of various luxurious cars. The Titatitan Star wasn't a poor place. This was especially the case for the large powers.

When he entered, the servants at the entrance were constantly scrutinizing Wang Zheng.

The guests who were here today were either nobles or rich people. This brat looked too ordinary. However, his invitation was real and the servants did not dare to show any disrespect. After a thorough check, Wang Zheng was allowed into the place.

The large garden party had already started. The guests who had arrived were having small talks in groups of three and five. Wang Zheng had originally thought that Lan Ling had arrived, but he couldn't spot the Missy of the Lan family. Moreover, there wasn't anyone in the place that he knew.

The key point was that everyone was either in suits and dress shoes or dressed elegantly. This was a real party… Although Wang Zheng had a neat outfit, he looked more like part of the unofficial service crew.

Luckily, Wang Zheng had always been calm and composed. He was attending Lan Ling's banquet because there were things he wanted to discuss with Lan Ling. It was necessary to make such a trip. Moreover, Rara Durai and the rest might come here too, and he missed them after not seeing them for a long time.

Wang Zheng found a relatively secluded place so as to not affect the atmosphere around others.

This also prevented others from interacting with him. Wang Zheng felt more at ease this way. However, he had miscalculated a little. Although the banquet was to start at six, the host would be slightly late. Therefore, he had arrived too early.

The number of people gradually increased. What made Wang Zheng surprised was that he finally saw someone he was familiar with.

Captain Red Fox!

The Red Fox was in a sexy, evening dress. With her sexy and well-endowed figure, it was definitely attracting many eyes. Normally, a well-endowed figure with a bright red dress would seem too cheap. However, with the soldier aura being exuded by the Red Fox, it gave others a cold and alluring feel. Such a contrast was extremely eye-catching.

The Red Fox also spotted Wang Zheng accidentally.

What was this brat doing here?

"Captain, what a coincidence." Wang Zheng had also not expected that the "matters to attend to" that the Red Fox had mentioned was also to attend the birthday gathering of Lan Ling. It seemed that this gathering was something big.

The Red Fox took a look at Wang Zheng curiously. "What are you doing here? Don't tell me that you sneaked in."

"How could I? I have an invitation." Wang Zheng laughed.

The Red Fox was still very confused. Who would have invited him?

"It's true. Lan Ling gave it to me…"

Wang Zheng knew that it would be a problem if he did not explain himself. Therefore, he might as well make it clear. Under normal circumstances, it was true that he would not have known Lan Ling.

The Red Fox didn't panic and wanted to listen to Wang Zheng's explanation.

"Isn't that Captain Red Fox? You looked absolutely stunning today!"

A 40-year-old-looking guy in a black suit walked over. He had a refined look, but his gaze seemed to have looked through the Red Fox's gown. The Golden Fox and Silver Fox were following behind him.

"Mr. Consul, I do not deserve your praise," said the Red Fox faintly.

"Red Fox, even if you like this kid, this is too much. How could he be involved in such an important occasion?" He clearly knew that the Consul was interested in the Red Fox. If the Red Fox were to go all out and go to bed with him, he wouldn't have great days ahead of him.

"Mature women always like younger guys. However, Red Fox, it seems that you don't know how to differentiate when it's appropriate to bring him along." The Silver Fox laughed.

The Silver Fox and the Gold Fox had entered the final confrontation. However, they would want to eliminate the Red Fox completely and not give her any chance for making a comeback. This was also because the two of them knew clearly that the Consul, Ison, was still single.

"Have the two of you finished talking?" replied the Red Fox faintly. "If I'm not fond of the younger guys, how would I even be interested in the likes of you two?"

As she spoke, she pulled up Wang Zheng's arm gently. "This man was the hottest person in the IG and will easily become our superior in the future. I was just trying to get on his good side."

As she spoke, her well-endowed breasts sank into Wang Zheng's arms. This wasn't something that any figure could achieve. Because of compression, the shape seemed more alluring than usual, causing the trio's eyeballs to almost fall out of their sockets.

Ison managed to maintain a straight face and was clearly more composed than the Golden Fox and the Silver Fox. Those who engaged in diplomacy must have such means.

"Captain Red Fox has the freedom to fall for whomever. However, one can't just enter this place without an invitation. If anyone were to sneak in here and destroyed the peace, Captain Silver Fox, shouldn't that be dealt with according to the rules?"

"That would be a given, Mr. Consul. No matter what kind of background he has or the fame he once had, everyone here is an ordinary person. A soldier has to follow orders!"

The Silver Fox immediately said as he did not attempt to hide that he was trying to get on the good side of the Consul. One had to be direct if he was boot-licking. The key thing was that he knew the personality of Ison. He was truly a scheming person, and Ison was a hypocrite. They could be considered to be part of the same family.

"I have an invitation." Wang Zheng did not mind being used as a shield for a while.

"Oh, you have an invitation too. Where did you steal it from?" The Silver Fox laughed.

"Lan Ling gave it to me." Wang Zheng laughed. "As for where did Lan Ling steal it from, I have no idea."

The trio's faces had changed. Even the Red Fox was stunned. Was he bluffing?

Ison and the two people were all shrewd people. Ison had taken the balanced approach of getting bribes and enjoying the beauties. When he completed his term, he could return home in glory. However, the Red Fox wasn't willing to give in, and this had given him a headache.

"Brat, you have to be cautious as a soldier and not speak at will. If you do not have an invitation, get out now and don't disgrace the Milky Way Alliance," said Ison in a kind tone.

Looking at this situation, Wang Zheng could roughly understand what was going. How he spoke would depend on the person.

"Is that so? Today seems to be the birthday banquet of Lan Ling. Whether I was invited has nothing to do with you. Moreover, this is my off day. Do I not even have personal freedom?"

The Red Fox had not expected Wang Zheng to take such a hard stance and gave him a praising gaze. After all, she no longer had any hopes of becoming the squadron leader.

The three of them were taken aback and hadn't expected that Wang Zheng would retaliate.

"Wang Zheng, as a soldier, you have to recognize the responsibilities you have at all times. Is that how you speak to your superiors?" scolded the Golden Fox coldly.

The Red Fox was of the same rank as him and had her own connections. However, surprisingly, a rookie was challenging him and was being presumptuous.

At this moment, the floor rumbled. The giants had arrived. Only the Lan family had such a large garden that could accommodate such a banquet.

When the Tita giants showed their faces, everyone around looked over. They were all pointing fingers and commenting. Although they had seen the people of Tita before, humans and the people of Tita were clearly separated most of the time. Both parties led their own lives. Therefore, when they met once in a while, there would be nit-picking.

Rara Durai was looking around once he arrived. He had run over first after hearing from Lan Ling that Ada would be here too.

After examining the surrounding dwarves, he could spot many gazes that were making a fuss out of nothing. However, he was able to spot Wang Zheng among them quickly and ran over immediately.

The others immediately ran away in fear. Some of them even knocked over some tables. Did the giants go crazy?

Ison and the rest were also startled. The raging giant was rushing toward them…

At this moment, the Golden Fox and the Silver Fox almost jumped backwards immediately, while the Red Fox took a step forward was ready to take action.

However, the giant slowed down before their eyes. The giant took a few steps to the front of the first person and bent down onto the floor.

"Ada." The pair of copper bell-like huge eyes was yearning for something.

The entire garden went silent. Ada???

What Ada?

The humans around knew clearly the meaning of "Ada." The rough meaning would be equivalent to "master" in human terms. Who were these people?

Wang Zheng smiled and patted the Red Fox's back gently. He was a little worried that if the Red Fox were to exert more force, the gown would burst open.

Walking in the front of Rara Durai, Wang Zheng caressed Rara Durai's huge head gently. "Rara, where are the elders? Why are you here yourself?"

"Ada, the elders and the Tribal Chiefs will be arriving shortly. I ran over first because I missed Ada," said Rara Durai.

"Hehe. I will be assessing the results of your training later. If you have been slacking off, I will scold you.

"Ada, I have been working hard. Shan Meng can no longer defeat me," said Rara Durai proudly.

Some time ago, he was able to truly defeat Shan Meng. He had a much better understanding of the techniques that Wang Zheng had imparted him than Shan Meng. Shan Meng wouldn't be able to defeat Rara Durai with just strength.

Chapter 490: Counterattack

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Within the tribes, the other giants were extremely jealous of the two of them. There was also a legend about a mysterious person from Earth circulating amongst the tribesmen. Also Earth was the origin of the human civilisation and was the mother Star for the noble civilisation which conquered the Milky Way.

Suddenly, comments and discussion in the garden erupted. The simple looking human in front of them was the Ada of the giants?

Could it be that he was the Wise one?

However, he seemed a little too tall to be one. In addition, they had not seen a Wise one that was of such a young age.

A new breed?

Ison and the rest knew about the identity of Wang Zheng. The truth was that they had been quite reserved because he had some background. If it was an ordinary soldier, they would have asked someone to drag him out. However, even if that was the case… Since when did he become so familiar with the people of Tita. Moreover, it seemed that the people of Tita were willing to submit themselves to Wang Zheng.

These were things that even the Lan Family couldn't achieve!

At the moment, rumbling sounds could be heard from outside again. Another three Tita giants had arrived. On their shoulders, there were even the Wise ones.

Such a line-up was unprecedented. Together with the giant which had arrived previously, there were a total of 4 giants and 4 Wise ones. This had exceeded the scale that Lan Jiang had interacted with in the past.

When the crowd noticed the forehead of these giants, they were even more surprised. This was because there was a tattoo on the forehead of each of the giants. One of them even had 3 tattoos. Only the strongest warrior would have the qualification to have tattoos on their forehead. In other words, the strongest warrior of the 4 tribes had arrived. Moreover, only Elders or the Tribal Chief would be allowed to be on the shoulders of their number 1 warrior.

This…

The giants came to the side of Wang Zheng as though the rest weren't around and lowered the Wise ones slowly.

Among them, the giant with the largest physique also bowed down in front of Wang Zheng. "Ada, Shan Meng missed you."

"You should rise, let's skip the ceremonies."

Shan Meng was full of respect and awe towards Wang Zheng. Rara Durai was respectful to Wang Zheng and relied on him. Rara Durai was also more gifted than Shan Meng.

Ison wasn't able to say a single word at this moment.

"Wang Zheng, we had met again. Let me introduced to you. These is Elder Guang Yao and Chief Prabuba.

Other than Mu Sen and Khalifa, another Grand Elder had come. The Grand Elder was one of the 8 Great Elders too and Prabuba was the Chief of the Kun Lun area.

"Mr Wang Zheng, it is nice to meet you!" Elder Guang Yao's head was slightly longer and had a completely different face shape compared to Mu Sen. His stature was also slightly taller. Obviously, it could be due to him having a longer head.

"It is nice meeting you too Elder Guang Yao."

Both of them shook their hands gently. The Elders had always used the human way of communication with the world of humans.

"Guang Yao, was I right about what I had said?" laughed Mu Sen.

Elder Guang Yao nodded his head gently.

The distinguished guests had arrived and the hosts had to appear. Lan Jiang immediately came out with several people around him. They were clearly all distinguished guests.

After hearing the reports, Lan Jiang was also surprised. He had not expected the people of Tita to show him such great respect. He was a little overwhelmed by the line-up.

He had heard about the mysterious stories about Wang Zheng from Lan Ling. However, he had not expected the people of Tita to show him such great respect.

The way the people of Tita formed relationships had differences with the humans' way. While the influence of the party was important, they also placed equal emphasis on fate. Otherwise, they would not have only allied themselves with the Lan Family over these years.

There was an aloof looking teenager beside Lan Jiang. He didn't seem to have the people of Tita in his eyes and even seemed to treat them as enemies.

"Let me introduced everyone to this man. He is Mr Zarberg, the one in charge of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation."

Lan Jiang helped to introduce for everyone. It was clearly a grand event. There were representative from the Milky Way Alliance, Mr Ison Lingshi, representative from the Commerce Organisation, Mr Zarberg, the people of Tita, the Lan Family. It is truly a lively occasion.

"Miss Red Fox is truly glamorous. I have always admired warriors like you."

Zarberg did not attempt to hide his perverted gaze.

The Red Fox smiled flirtatiously and easily withdrew her hand. "Zarberg is one of the most handsome talents in the Milky Way Alliance and is most known for his actions to stir storms and rain. I have been looking forward to meeting you."

The Red Fox maintained calm and composed. Yet her words seemed to hint that this man wasn't friendly.

Lan Jiang laughed. The benefits for the Lan Family were achieved through a balance by gaining advantages from various sides. The Super gravity energy mineral was an opportunity. Leveraging on this opportunity, the Lan Family hoped to get a permanent position after they joined the Milky Way Alliance.

It was to pursue victory in chaos. In other words, it was also to obtain power by walking on the edge of a knife.

However, speaking generally, the various powers had been showing him some respect.

"Wang Zheng. Brat, you have a great body and had recovered well. How are you doing since returning to the military?" laughed Lan Jiang.

Ison's eyes flickered. He had not expected Wang Zheng to have such a good relationship with the Lan Family. One would know that the Lan Jiang was the de facto leader of the Lan Family. This old man was truly the most influential person in this place. Even if one was influential in other places, he would have to show respect before him on Tita.

Ison was definitely a two-faced person and regarded his interests as the most important. It was clear that Wang Zheng was with the Red Fox. If Wang Zheng was just a pro of IG, it wouldn't have amounted to anything. However, if he was to use this relationship for the Red Fox, it wouldn't be wise to not choose the Red Fox as the Squadron Leader.

"Red Fox, Mr Lan has spoken. You have to give the younger people more responsibilities. Being brave in raising and training the rookies is also consistent with the tradition of the Milky Way Alliance Special Action Team!" said Ison as he suddenly acted as though he was close with the Red Fox.

"That would be great. This would make co-operation between the Lan Family and the Action Team much easier. This guy is dependable."

Everyone seemed to be unable to stomach it. With Lan Jiang's position, he wouldn't have to get on the good side of this immature brat.

However, Wang Zheng knew that this was Lan Jiang repaying him in an indirect way. This was because it was due to Wang Zheng that Lan Ling would be so successful in completing the negotiations on Tita.

"Haha, the Red Fox would be taking over the position of Squadron Leader. Although Wang Zheng is still young, his contribution was huge and can definitely take over the mantle of Section Leader.

Instantly, the Silver Fox and Golden Fox were grief-stricken. They would never have dreamt that the position of Squadron Leader which seemed within their grasp had flown away as though it had grown wings.

Ison was definitely a sly fox. He had kept a tight lip all along. By saying it out publicly, this matter was a done deal.

Although they were furious, they didn't dare to show it.

Clearly, Wang Zheng's close relationship with the people of Tita and the Lan Family had completely changed Ison's stand. This was classic example of being merciless after changing sides.

No matter how calm the Red Fox might seem, her heart started thumping at this moment. One could remain firm if one did not have any desires. However, she had desires and had her own goals. That was to become the Squadron Leader of the Fox Squadron. It was a simple and direct goal. She had believed that with her abilities, she would be capable enough for the role and be better than the men. However, it was very difficult to do so as a woman.

What a turnaround! After hearing the good news, the Red Fox was emanating an alluring aura. However, her gaze was on Wang Zheng. Who would have thought that the brat that just arrived had achieved so much quietly.

Leveraging on this opportunity, Ison pulled Old Man Lan Jiang away for a chat. He had always felt bounded as a Consul. Everyone had showed him respect but that was pretty much all he gotten. When it came into doing work, everyone would be either trying to delay or obstruct him.

Since the Lan Family had such high regards for Wang Zheng, making the Red Fox the Squadron Leader would be equivalent to forging a relationship with the Lan Family. Moreover, Wang Zheng seemed to have a good relationship with the people of Tita. He was excited just thinking about it. As long as he could get Wang Zheng on his side, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to perform as a Consul.

As for who was to become the Squadron Leader, Ison did not really mind. It was the same for him no matter who would become the Squadron Leader. The military would forever serve the Politicians. For this position, as long as it was by a person that he had helped to secure the position, the person would owe him a favour. It would be alright if this person was to take the same stance as him.

Old Man Lan Jiang faced Wang Zheng and winked. The intention was clear. This brat had owed him once again.

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded his head. He would gladly accept this favour. With the Red Fox becoming the Squadron Leader, his days in the future would be easier. With regard to the new mech designing, Wang Zheng was still very excited about it.

Rara Durai and Shan Meng had started quarreling. They were quarreling over whose shoulders should Wang Zheng sat on. After being scolded by Mu Sen, they finally stopped and decided to take turns carrying him. However, their request was promptly rejected by Wang Zheng. This was a ball and not a hunting trip in the forest. This had disappointed the both of them. Both of them looked like a child who did not get his toys. Sometimes, the people of Tita were so simple and pure.

The distinguished guests arrived one after another. Among the immigrants, there were other powers other than the Lan Family. As for the Commerce Alliance, there were also other massive powers other than Zarberg who was the representative of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. All of them came well dressed. Some of them even came specifically from outside Tita Star. The respect showed made Old Man Lan Jiang extremely happy.

Wang Zheng had returned to his corner to eat. The Red Fox had been pulled away. After becoming the Squadron Leader, she would have a certain level of rights to speak on TitaTitan Star. Everyone had to get to know one another again and established friendly relationships.

As for Wang Zheng, it wasn't that the rest didn't want to get to know him. No matter how insignificant he might be, he was also a guest. Moreover, from the situation previously, this brat seemed to be well connected. Even if it might not bring benefits from being a friend with him, it wouldn't be a bad thing too. However, the problem was…

Rara Durai and Shan Meng were sticking to Wang Zheng. They were standing to the right and left of Wang Zheng like two humongous keepers. Whoever tried to approach Wang Zhem would be stared at by them. As a result, no one dared to approach Wang Zheng… However, they did not know that Rara Durai and Shan Meng were already trying to maintain a gentle gaze.

"Old Man Lan, when will our beautiful star appear? Who would be the male partner for the first dance? Would you consider Xiao Dong from our family?"

Lan Jiang answered easily," Old Man Yi, these are the youngsters' matters. Let's not be involved in it. Moreover, didn't Xiao Dong already have a girlfriend?"

Everyone was chatting when they saw Sun Xin coming down from the stairs above. The crowd instantly quiet down significantly. Thoose who had some understanding of the Lan Family or Lan Ling would know who Sun Xin was. She was the personal assistant of the Missy of the Lan Family. Basically, wherever Lan Ling went, Sun Xin would be there first to make the preparations.

Was it that Lan Ling would finally be making an appearance?

Chapter 491: Prospective Son-in-law?

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Several teenagers started to adjust their attire and adopted a carefully prepared action and posture. They had made up their mind to leave a good and deep impression for Lan Ling.

Sun Xin walked down the stairs and looked around. She seemed to be looking for someone and everyone was a little curious. As the personal assistant of Lan Ling, clearly she was not looking for someone but was looking for the person Lan Ling wished to find at this moment.

After looking around, she headed towards Wang Zheng.

"Wang Zheng, Miss is looking for you."

Instantly, everyone was a little stunned. Wang Zheng was able to have a close conversation with the Wise Elders of the people of Tita. Considering the fact that Lan Jiang also had a good relationship with the people of Tita, Lan Jiang's relationship with Wang Zheng wouldn't be too bad and could explain his previous attitude. After all, their relationship was likely to have some nature of official business.

However, Sun Xin had represented Lan Ling to invite Wang Zheng to meet her upstairs just before the official start of the ball.

This was likely to be more of a personal nature. To say it clearer, Lan Ling was putting her reputation as a girl at stake!

Lan Jiang smiled and headed towards Wang Zheng.

Several people finally heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Lan Jiang wasn't an old and confused old man.

"Brat, you better have prepared a gift. If you didn't, I wouldn't forgive you."

Lan Jiang's words surprised everyone as Old Man Lan did not attempt to stop this incident that could ruin Lan Ling's reputation. He even encouraged it to happen. Gift? Oh my god! What was he saying? In the ears of those who had other intentions, those words were like hinting and asking Wang Zheng when he would propose a marriage. Did you bring along a proposal ring today?

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded his head. He took out a small gift box containing the crystal bracelet from his clothes and followed Sun Xin upstairs.

Wang Zheng smiled and asked the serious-looking Sun Xin," How have you been you recently?"

"I have been great every day. However… it seems that you were pretty powerful and I had not expected it. However, you don't deserve to be with Miss."

Sun Xin was acting like a little cat protecting a herd of calf and this had made Wang Zheng not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Wang Zheng nodded his head while maintaining a smile. This had nothing to do with brute strength. Lan Ling was his friend and so was Sun Xin.

Sun Xin brought Wang Zheng into Lan Ling's room. Clearly, it wasn't her bedroom but was a resting and makeup room.

Hearing the door opening, Lan Ling smiled brightly and turned around.

Wang Zheng was taken aback slightly. How could he put it in word? It was the first time he felt that Lan Ling was pretty beautiful. He had not realise that due to Aina, he had a rather high immunity towards beautiful girls.

"You are really beautiful."

Sun Xin took a look at Wang Zheng and gave him a threatening gaze out of her habit. Even she didn't know why she was threatening him. Following which, she walked out of the room quietly. As she left, she closed the door.

"Thank you. Your words were a huge encouragement for me. I was so nervous that I didn't dare to go out to meet the other people." laughed Lan Ling as she patted her chest.

"Hehe. Just a small gift. Happy birthday."

Wang Zheng passed the little gift box in his hands over.

Lan Ling's eyes lit up. "Thank you, what is it? Can I open it now?"

"Of course you could do so."

"It is really beautiful. Thank you. I really like it." Lan Ling put on the crystal bracelet onto her wrist quickly. The valuable star diamond bracelet was thrown casually to the side by her.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose and said," I feel that the star bracelet looked better." Wang Zheng was feeling a little embarrassed.

"But this crystal bracelet would be more suitable for me." laughed Lan Ling. There were deeper meaning in her words and Lan Ling's gaze was full of danger.

Wang Zheng smiled. "I feel truly honoured. Oh right, I was here for another matter. I remembered you talking about creating a mech specifically for use on Tita Star. There is an opportunity now!"

"Oh, please elaborate." When it comes to official work, Lan Ling was able to remain calm despite being busy at the moment.

"There is a collaborative mech project being developed by my side and it is entering the experimental phase soon. With only the strength from our side, it is not enough. If you are interested, perhaps we could enter an alliance." said Wang Zheng.

Creating a mech specifically for use on TitaTitan Star wasn't an easy task. Ye Zisu and Barry could both be considered to be geniuses. One of them was a design genius while the other had been researching on Tita Star for a long time. Although they had been able to work well since they got together, there were still 2 problems that they were unable to overcome it.

The Lan Family had been dabbling on matters in this aspect and had accumulated a large amount of valuable experience. What they were lacking was in depth technical support. Therefore, there was a basis for collaboration.

Lan Ling was slightly stunned. She had thought of many things that Wang Zheng might need her help on but had not expected it to be collaboration in mecha development.

"Please elaborate more first. Who is in your team?"

Lan Ling smiled. She could tell that the way Wang Zheng conversed with her was still within the boundaries of friends and wasn't an official negotiation.

"The design aspect of the mech is mainly being conducted by OMG and King Company. A friend from my Section and I are also involved in it.

Wang Zheng sent an overview of the information to Lan Ling using his skylink.

Lan Ling browsed through the data. There was an introduction to the main members of the design team. Ye Zisu? She looked so beautiful in the photo and was the successor to OMG.

Lan Ling raised her head and looked at Wang Zheng. "Is this lady, Ye Zisu, the princess you told me about previously?"

Wang Zheng was stunned. He shook his head. The emphasis of a girl was truly not common. "She isn't. She was my classmate and friend. She is also a member of my closest circle. Yan Xiaosu is also in it and I would definitely introduce him to you if there is an opportunity. Have you heard of the designer of the Wind God? "

Lan Ling smiled brightly upon hearing the first segment but was surprised by the later segment. "Of course I have heard of it. If I'm not wrong, she is the hottest mecha designer currently. If that is the case, I would really want to meet her."

"Hehe. I believe the two of you will get along VERY well."

"Alright, after the banquet,, you can arrange for a meeting between us." Lan Ling was in a very good mood.

"Oh yeah, I had asked you to be here because I need your help. Could you be my dance partner for tonight?"

"It would be my honour." Wang Zheng smiled and accepted the request calmly.

"But…" Lan Ling squinted her eyes and blinked.

"But what?"

"You have to change into a proper formal attire first."

Lan Ling pushed and walked Wang Zheng into a changing room. In the changing room, there were over 10 sets of suits for men. The style of the design was clearly of the same kind as the evening gown Lan Ling was wearing.

Wang Zheng changed into the suit with a forced file. He had originally thought that it would be a casual dance and had not thought more about it.

Lan Ling was scutinising Wang Zheng. She pouted and said," You need to let me tidy up your hair. You can't reject me."

"Alright." Wang Zheng had given up. The birthday girl was the most important here after all. The truth was that he had really wanted to ask why the suits were so fitting.

Lan Ling seemed to be playing with her dolls as she tidied up Wang Zheng's hair with much effort. "Would it be okay if I cut it a little?"

"Whatever you wish." said Wang Zheng with a forced smile.

"You said it. I had a dream when I was nine years old that I would be a hair stylist…"

Lan Ling was very happy. The truth was that her skills weren't bad. After some time, Wang Zheng was stunned by his reflection in the mirror. Oh damn, who was this handsome brat?

"You are finally deserving of me!"

"Cough…"

"Don't misunderstand. I was saying as my dance partner…" said Lan Ling as her face turned red. It seemed that the more she wanted to explain, the worse the situation got.

"I understood. Let's go. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

When they left the door, Wang Zheng extended his hands to Lan Ling. Lan Ling placed her hands on Wang Zheng's hand without changing her looks and headed down the stairs together with Wang Zheng.

Sun Xin frowned and blinked her eyes. Wang Zheng had only changed his attire but the feeling he gave off seemed to be….. pretty refined. However, to be deserving of Miss, he was still far from it.

At the bottom of the stairs, the atmosphere was dense. Not only was the Lan Family demonstrating their unique influence, other major powers were also making use of this opportunity to display their purpose and reasons for being there.

Commerce Organisation, Immigrant Families and representative of the New Immigrants…

In the banquet, they were wearing long sleeves suits and were good in dancing. Their gazes, background, strength, influence and topics in discussion were likely to affect the direction of development of the TitaTitan Star for the next several years or even decades.

Moreover, the fuss that Wang Zheng had caused previously had made it the topic everyone was talking about in such an environment. It was also an interesting topic among all the other topics. However, it would only last for a short while as it wasn't a topic that would last long.

Just when everyone was talking about it excitedly, they finally heard the sound of someone hitting a cup. At the front of the MC's stage, Old Man Lan Jiang was holding a goblet and he had hit it with a spoon softly. The sound had rang out through the sound system and everyone subconsciously looked towards the stairs.

Lan Ling was like an angel descending from the clouds. The protagonist was finally making her move.

She was really beautiful. The exquisite makeup seemed to have made Lan Ling the centre of attention and it was attracting all the eyes of the crowd.

*Claps*. Everyone started clapping. The protagonist of the banquet had arrived, signalling the official commencement of the ball.

The young men were rubbing their palms and straightened their backs. They were competing to be Lan Ling's partner for the first dance. To lead the first dance of the ball with the protagonist of the ball would have extraordinary significance.

However, soon, everyone could quickly see the person standing beside the angel-like Lan Ling was none other than Wang Zheng who was wearing a full black tuxedo…

The perception of everyone was that if Lan Ling was the angel, Wang Zheng would be the devil that had imprisoned the angel.

"Could it be…"

"It couldn't be!"

"What was the Lan Family trying to show by doing this?"

A sharp person would have notice that Wang Zheng had changed into an official suit. Connecting the scene previously where he was to meet Lan Ling alone, it would mean that she wanted to have the first dance with Wang Zheng!

The significance of this was different. Previously, Old Man Lan Jiang was still trying to give Wang Zheng a push and it had made him a section leader in the Milky Way Alliance. However, it would seem that this was just the prelude to marrying Lan Ling to Wang Zheng.

Between a man and a woman who were strangers to each other, with the IQ of Old Man Lan, he wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for this reason.

"Today was the birthday of Lan Ling and I would like to thank all our relatives and friends for being here. The truth was that I had wanted to make this an opportunity for everyone to gather and reminisced about the past. However, I have a friend that I would especially want to introduce to all." Lan Jiang paused for a while and pointed at Wang Zheng. "I'm sure everyone can see the handsome brat here. His name is Wang Zheng and is currently working within the Milky Way Alliance Special Action Team. Please look after him in the future. Alright, I shall not bother everyone anymore. Music please!"

Melodious dance music sounded. However, the guests were unsettled. What was he trying to achieve with such a formal introduction?

Chapter 492: Killing two birds with one arrow

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The birthday banquet ended with a weird atmosphere. Everyone at the banquet had remembered the "small fry" named Wang Zheng. Lan Jiang had also complicated things by strongly praising Wang Zheng, but he did not make their relationship clear. This had confused many people. However, the relationship between Wang Zheng and the people of Tita was very clear.

The one who was the most excited and surprised was the Red Fox. She had never dreamt that there was still hope in her becoming the squadron leader. Moreover, the two-faced Ison had surprisingly looked for her for a serious conversation.

The Red Fox had been the section leader for several years and clearly knew the importance of having good relationships with her superiors. Since the other party had taken the initiative and shown goodwill, naturally, the Red Fox would have to accept it. However, all this was because of that little brat, Wang Zheng.

The people of Tita were still going to remain in Lan Kao City for several days. On the other hand, Wang Zheng had to leave soon after the banquet ended. After all, he had official duties to attend to. Nonetheless, she had arranged with Lan Ling for a time to meet.

Lan Ling was very interested in both the project and Ye Zisu. The banquet had also consolidated the reputation of the Lan family, and this was very important, considering the current sensitive situation.

The Lan Kao City branch of the Blue Star Commerce Organization.

Zarberg was furious. Several key management members clearly had not expected the situation to have become like this so suddenly.

The Blue Star Commerce Organization had always been trying to achieve an agreement with the Lan family to develop and get rich together. As for those barbarians, they were only suitable to be slaves.

Moreover, Zarberg was very interested in Lan Ling. He did not mind using a political marriage to complete this huge business. After all, marriage and divorce were only pieces of paper. However, the situation had suddenly changed.

"What is the old fool trying to do? Does he believe that the tradition of the people of Tita to elect a brat is enough to change the current situation?" growled Zarberg angrily.

"Hehe. Representative, I believe Lan Jiang was trying to get on the good side of that brat," said one of the more composed middle-aged men. He was Moore, the director of the Blue Star Commerce Organization. He was also the de facto in-charge for this project and was assisting Zarberg. After all, Zarberg was the son of the largest shareholder and would require a dazzling achievement to enter the board of directors officially. It was also to pave the way to the Allied Commerce Organization in the future.

"Oh?"

"Representative, the people of Tita are not good at faking, and this is something I can see. Old Man Lan is an old, sly fox. To be able to rule the Titatitan Star for so long, he definitely isn't impulsive. The reason why the Lan family have what they have today is because of their relationship with the people of Tita. It has allowed them to dominate the other families, However, Wang Zheng has appeared now. Everyone who was there today saw that the people of Tita are closer to this teenager than the rest of us. If I was Lan Jiang, I would also resort to various ways to make him one of us, or at least make sure he won't be our enemy." Moore laughed. His age had allowed him to remain calm and composed no matter what he encountered.

"According to what you just said, do we have to get on the good side of this brat too?"

"I don't mean that. What I mean was that we would have to consider our plan B. Our conflicts with the people of Tita can't be resolved. No matter what, regardless of whether we can get the Lan family on our side or not, we still have to execute the plan. The truth is that there are also many powers who wish to replace them, and we could make use of them."

"What you are saying is to adopt the hard stance. It won't be easy to explain that to the Milky Way Alliance. Various major powers are also paying close attention to this." Zarberg wasn't silly. The reason to why he had to use such roundabout measures were to ensure that it would look legit.

The Blue Star Commerce Organization was a member of the Milky Way Alliance's Commerce Alliance and was also one of the top 10 organizations within it. The influence of the Commerce Alliance was beyond doubt, but it also had to follow the rules of the game. Otherwise, other powers would definitely interfere, and the losses would be greater than what they would gain.

"We wouldn't have to do it ourselves. What we need to do is to provide these people the funding and weapons. Obviously, with the current situation, we will likely need to make use of mercenaries. As long as we can adopt a blitzkrieg and settle it with the Milky Way Alliance when the time comes, everything will be settled and no one will care about a group of barbarians."

Moore said with a grinning smile. A conservative estimation would place casualties over several tens of thousands. Zarberg was feeling a little cold. Although he also preferred to adopt the more ruthless method, he had undergone formal education, after all. He still had some lingering fear of slaughtering so many people.

However, he wasn't willing to show it externally. "How confident are you?"

"The board has already made preparations. As long as the opportunity arises, the mercenaries will arrive. Obviously, to ensure that there are no hiccups, we will still have to make full use of all resources available to us, no matter if it's the Lan family or the Milky Way Alliance's Special Action Team."

Moore said. Ison was a typical official of the Milky Way Alliance and was also the easiest to deal with. He wouldn't need the help of the Milky Way Alliance's Special Action Team. As long as they did not obstruct him, that would be sufficient.

It would be enough to just give him a large retirement sum, such that he wouldn't be able to finish spending it in the latter half of his life.

Zarberg was also pondering his options. This project had been dragged on for too long. The longer it dragged out, the more disadvantageous it would be for them as there would be more powers paying attention to it. They had to quickly obtain controlling rights.

"Since the Lan family isn't willing to do so, let's just destroy them at the same time! They will have to submit to our pressure after declining our request."

Zarberg was revealing a hideous look. If everything went on smoothly, the Lan family would be behind bars at that moment. Lan Ling, that little slut, would be free for him to deal with!

He suddenly felt very happy at the thought of it.

"Hehe, Representative, we could make use of the Lan family. Old Man Lan isn't as righteous as he might seem to be."

Moore laughed. It was only a matter of benefits. Since they had decided to round the Lan family up in one fell swoop and to nurture a new local power, they might as well make use of the Lan family too!

It would be a highly profitable project with minimum investment capital!

When Wang Zheng returned to the base in Canyon City, he realized that everyone was around and had weird expressions.

"Wang Zheng, you are quite the brat to have become the section leader quietly!" said Lao Xiong with an unfriendly expression.

Wang Zheng was stunned. The news had spread really quickly. He had not thought much about becoming the section leader. He had become the section leader only because of the situation at that moment. Moreover, with his current identity, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to say anything.

However, seniority was important in the military. For a student soldier who had arrived recently and had done nothing much to become the section leader suddenly, everyone would definitely not be convinced.

Jing Long seemed to look down on him. If the Red Fox were to be promoted, he should be taking over the position of the section leader. However, he had to continue being the vice-section leader.

Wang Zheng really did not wish for this to happen. Otaku Barry was silent and clearly considered Wang Zheng to be someone who had manipulated powers for personal benefits.

Wang Zheng forced a smile and said, "Everyone has gotten this wrong. There are certain reasons why it turned out this way, but I will not be taking up the position as section leader."

The atmosphere was heavy. Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter. Jing Long came over and patted on Wang Zheng's shoulders. "Student solder, we were teasing you. Everyone has been convinced about your capabilities. Moreover, you helped our boss become the squadron leader. There would be no reason as to why we would be not convinced. If one has the ambition, age shouldn't matter. Am I right, my brothers?"

The whole bunk let out a wild growl.

Wang Zheng was speechless. "You were all playing a prank on me?"

"Haha. That's obvious. You will be our boss in the future. How could we miss such an opportunity!" Lao Xiong laughed. "Your brothers are all good actors. We could consider becoming actors after retiring in the future."

"With your looks, give the thought a rest. I would be more suitable." Chang Xiaodan laughed.

Everyone was exchanging comments. Basically, they roughly understood Wang Zheng's situation. Wang Zheng was rescued by the Missy of the Lan family after crashing onto the Titatitan Star, and their friendship was formed because of it. At the same time, he got to know the people of Tita because of Lan Ling. As for conquering the people of Tita, it might not be possible for others, but as the uncrowned king of the IG, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Everything we drink and do tonight will be on you!" said Jing Long. "Your brothers will not miss this opportunity!"

The crowd started a fuss and Wang Zheng did not know if he should laugh or cry. "This matter was really settled with Ison just making a comment."

"That person is a real fence-sitter. He could change his stance quicker than anyone in the current situation. Moreover, this matter has been dragging on for quite some time," said Jing Long. The things that happened during the banquet had helped Ison make a decision.

As for the Golden Fox and the Silver Fox, he wouldn't care less as he was their superior. Moreover, those two brats would need to rely on him or they would be suppressed to death by the Red Fox.

This could be considered killing two birds with an single stone.

Basically, everyone in the inner circle knew about the complete turnaround by the Red Fox. Obviously, everyone knew that there were some elements of a comedy.

"Wang Zheng is the lucky star of our Red Fox Section!" growled Otaku Barry loudly.

The nickname made Wang Zheng remember the family business of Tyrant Su. Wang Zheng shivered at the thought. This nickname was too awkward for him, wasn't it?

No matter what, Wang Zheng was relieved. The official appointment order came two days later. Truthfully speaking, with Wang Zheng's performance in the IG, becoming a section leader would be more than enough.

In the military, one's strength and achievements were the absolute principle. No one was too surprised.

On the other hand, Kong Zhan and Ate came looking for Wang Zheng. Both of them congratulated Wang Zheng. Obviously, Wang Zheng welcomed both of them warmly. Relative to the people of Tita, they were the ones he had similar experiences with.

The three of them found a small shop outside the base. Ate was clearly being a little reserved. The others might place more emphasis on Wang Zheng's position, but for the two of them, it was because of Wang Zheng's strength.

"The truth is that the two of us have long wanted to look for you. However, the competition for the squadron leader had not been settled during those times. It's great now. Since your section has emerged victorious, our captains have encouraged us to come and network with you." Kong Zhan laughed. He wasn't hiding or attempting to hide, as this was not important.

Wang Zheng laughed and replied, "In that case, I have to thank them for giving me this opportunity. I had long wanted to drink with you guys. After coming to this foreign place, it is only the three of us who are familiar with one another."

Seeing that Wang Zheng was very easygoing, Ate was finally relieved. He had thought that pros like Wang Zheng might be aloof and arrogant. However, on the contrary, Wang Zheng was more amicable than he had imagined.

"Our captain said that you were the strongest person she had ever seen, and she made you her goal," said Ate.

Wang Zheng and Kong Zhan knew that Ate was talking about Ao Ziwei.

"Ao Ziwei is being too courteous. There are many hidden talents within the Milky Way Alliance. Our batch was only a batch of the IG," replied Wang Zheng. He wasn't being humble but really felt that not all the pros were in this batch.

"Wang Zheng, what are your plans? How long will you be staying here?" asked Kong Zhan curiously. He had come to this place because he had taken the initiative to apply to be here. What was Wang Zheng doing here?

Wang Zheng forced a smile and replied, "It will probably be after resolving the current problem. I will take things as they come. Oh, right, the designer of the Wind God is on the Titatitan Star and will be designing a mech specifically to be used here. Are you two interested in being part of it?"

Both of their eyes lit up and they agreed almost in unison. They wanted to be closer to Wang Zheng. In a faraway foreign place, those with similar experiences would feel closer to one another. Moreover, they were also curious about what kind of new mech the designer of Wind God would come out with.

"Kong Zhan, what is your Ability X?"

"It is of the 'Wind' attribute. What is the matter?" Kong Zhan was taken aback. His ability wasn't worth mentioning in front of Wang Zheng. However, Wang Zheng was exhilarated.

What was this about? He was able to find the right person by sheer luck after searching far and wide!

Chapter 493: A Queen-like Encounter

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

It was only then that Wang Zheng realized that for him, it was only a memorable IG competition. However, for his opponents, Wang Zheng and Olivios were both monsters. The various feelings they had when they encountered these monsters couldn't be described with words.

"Wang Zheng, do you have the intention to enter Academy X after you leave here?" asked Ate.

"Academy X?"

"Yeah, the various major alliances are bounded by their regions and have an Academy X, as well as an Elite Academy X, established within them. It is easier to enter Academy X, but only the pros from various places around Milky Way Alliance have the qualifications to enter the Elite Academy X. Our captain applied to it, but the entrance tests were very difficult," said Ate with a face of envy.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose and replied, "It should be alright. With Ao Ziwei's strength, if she couldn't make it, there aren't many that could."

"The Elite Academy X doesn't consist of just those from the latest IG, but the last few batches as well. There are no limitations on age, but one has to have a relatively mature Ability X. Other than that, there are also talents from non-military backgrounds. It could be considered a place where the strong people of the Milky Way Alliance congregate. If one could enter that place, it would definitely result in a breakthrough. The results of the Silver Snake Republic weren't good enough and I couldn't enter it. However, with two additional years of trial and training, I could apply for it again."

Kong Zhan said. Anyone with some level of ambition would also want to go to that place.

"Oh, right. The Academy has made an exception and accepted Olivios."

"He was the Captain of the IG champions after all. To be accepted directly wouldn't be an issue. Moreover, truthfully speaking, even if Olivios were to enter that place, he wouldn't be one of the weak people."

Kong Zhan said. From his perspective, that place would be the gathering hub of the real monsters.

"We should probably solve the problem in front of us first." Wang Zheng laughed. There was still such an interesting place! This was probably something that he would need. He had a thick and solid foundation but was weak in mental strength and theories on Ability X. If he had to depend on his little ability to understand on his own, he wouldn't know how long it would take him.

Kong Zhan and Ate had the same thoughts. If Wang Zheng was also here, what were they whining about? They should be focusing on completing the tasks at hand honestly. They could also likely learn much by following Wang Zheng,

On the other hand, Wang Zheng was very interested in Kong Zhan's "Wind" attribute Ability X. Wang Zheng had considered him to be a subject for research.

Wang Zheng also had his thoughts. With such a concentrated "Wind" attribute environment, coupled with the fact that he had someone with the same attribute around him, if he couldn't achieve enlightenment on the "Wind" ability, he would be letting everyone down.

In the faraway Earth.

Lear had locked himself in a small hut. He was completely shaken. He didn't really mind the white-robed man, who had treated him badly initially. Honestly speaking, he hated others touching his Skylink. He didn't react because of his grandfather.

However, after he opened the program, he was completely shaken.

The first reaction was that he really wanted to strangle that bastard to death. He was a true idiot. This was because the thing he had transferred to Lear's Skylink was a… game!

Damn, a game! He was clearly looking for death!

Although he was furious, Lear managed to calm down. He eventually decided to open it. The house wasn't lacking of any virtual reality devices. The truth was that similar to CT, virtual reality game had always been popular. However, the Milky Way Alliance had relatively strict or even harsh attention as they felt that the virtual reality world was dangerous. Therefore, various countries were very strict in the control of this aspect.

This model was clearly from the black market. This was because it did not have the permission from the Milky Way Alliance.

The black markets in various countries would sell such programs. However, they were basically doing it discreetly as no one dared to create a huge fuss. This had aroused Lear's curiosity.

However, when he entered, Lear was completely stunned.

This was because within this virtual reality called "Saint", surprisingly, there were cultivation techniques! To be more correct, it was a virtual reality where one could obtain virtual cultivation techniques through various means!

The cultivation techniques were the real stuff! Although he was only able to experience the lowest grade of the cultivation techniques, it was definitely real. Such treasures were surprisingly available in Saint…

Who was the one that could create such stuff? Was there still such a terrifying faction in existence in this world?

Everyone within Saint was wearing a mask and had a short nickname.

Lear felt that there were ordinary people and Ability X users in Saint. Without a doubt, there was a method in here that could make an ordinary person become strong and someone strong become invincible.

This had shaken the roots that Lear had always been proud of.

He saw the Old Chronos and the Old Chronos seemed to know that Lear would come.

"You can ask what you want in one go." Since the white-robed man had come, the Old Chronos seemed to have completely relaxed. However, he also seemed to have aged a lot.

"Grandpa, what is the identity of the other party? Why did he have so many cultivation techniques in his possession?"

The Old Chronos stood up. "Our Sixty Four Skies Refinement was actually stolen. That happened several hundred years ago. At that time, the humans were different from the current us. We had relied on cultivation techniques and technologies to emerge victorious against the Zerg and were able to enter the age of interstellar navigation. At that time, we already knew that the humans would not just conquer the Milky Way Alliance but the whole universe!"

Old Chronos sighed faintly. "However, just when we thought that we had become the masters of the universe, the catastrophe fell upon us. Many of the people who were practicing the cultivation techniques showed signs of losing control. When it happened, they would enter a berserk state, and there was no cure for it. Moreover, it seemed to spread quickly. In a very short amount of time, humans seemed to have found another layer of barriers between the Earth and heaven. We couldn't borrow more power from the cultivation techniques as they suddenly lost their effects. Therefore, the origin of the cultivation techniques, Saint Church, was under siege from the highest authority of the Human Alliance at that time. Although it was called a siege, the Saint Church was already empty when our ancestors entered. Our ancestors had kept a cultivation technique secretly, and that was the Sixty Four Skies Refinement."

"Weren't we still fine after practicing this cultivation technique?"

"Rumors had it that the Saint Church did something that went against the will of God and had stopped the self-restoration of the universe. This had caused issues with the people who utilized such cultivation techniques. However, it was definitely a blow to the humans, and we have spent a long amount of time to recover from it. However, the technological level at that time was still very high and the strongest enemies, the Zerg, had been conquered. Therefore, humans started to expand rapidly and formed the current Milky Way Alliance. However, the Solar System Federation had lost the ruling position during this process. One reason for it was because of the decreasing power. Another reason was actually that we were made the scapegoat." Old Chronos laughed.

"What you are saying is that the opportunity for our revival has finally appeared?"

"You are right. From something as large as the universe to something as small as a human, they all have a self-restoring ability. A human can get ill and Earth might experience earthquakes and volcanoes. The self-restoring of the universe is a little more terrifying, but it wouldn't stay damaged for eternity. The opportunity has arisen now. Therefore, the power of our cultivation technique has increased. Although it still can't be compared with the past, it will definitely still be an opportunity for the Chronos family!"

Lear frowned. Old Chronos smiled and said, "What you are worrying won't be a problem. The scale of the Saint Church wasn't that small. They have been dismantled and went into hiding in those years and have probably suffered as a result of that. Moreover, times have changed. What they need now are capable people. What you have received is, in fact, the selection to become a disciple of the Saint Church."

"Aren't they afraid that something would leak out?"

"Hehe. If it was just low-grade cultivation technique, it wouldn't matter. It would only make others desire it more. As for high-grade cultivation techniques, not everyone is able to obtain them."

"What you mean is that I should focus my energy on this?" Lear still couldn't accept it.

There was no doubt that one's strength was important. However, in this world, authority and influence were more important.

The Old Chronos smiled and said, "You can decide on the route to take. From now onwards, the Chronos family will be handed over to you. Whether it will be destroyed or become magnificent, it will be dependent on your decisions."

The entire situation had exceeded one's control. The Milky Way Alliance was still strong and various major traditional powerhouses had taken shape and couldn't be shaken. The revival of Saint Church was mainly in the dark. If it wasn't because of the opportunity to become stronger, the Saint Church might not be of any use. However, if it was to rise, it would likely be a long process of chances, conflicts, dilemma, reliance and co-existence. This would only mean 1 thing!

The era of chaos was about to descend!

Which route would be the right one to take?

No one would know.

The Old Chronos felt very relaxed. He had put down this burden. Everyone on Earth would dream about restoring the establishment that Earthlings in the past had achieved. However, with the coming of the age of interstellar navigation, this dream had drifted further and further away and one could no longer see any hope of achieving it.

The old Chronos even felt that if it was not for the Solar System being the origin of humans, the Saint Church might not even care about it as they only required disciples.

Opportunity had to be captured by oneself.

The old butler, Drupe, walked over slowly and handed him another thing.

It was the examination notice for the Elite Academy X.

There were many different routes, and Lear had to make the right choice.

After pondering for some time, Lear's eyes lit up. Suddenly, he realized why his grandfather was so happy. The Saint Church was within the Milky Way Alliance, and the Milky Way Alliance was within the Saint Church. There was finally a crack in the door to victory. At the very least, he had something more than others.

At the same time, Achilles and Lie Xin had received the notice for the entrance examination for the Elite Academy X.

In the Solar System, only Lear, Achilles, Lie Xin, and Wang Zheng had an official slot. There was a remaining slot open for recommendation. After expending much of its connections, the Chronos family was finally able to help Luo Fei obtain the last slot.

For a long period of time, the Chronos family would have to be cautious and behaved. Favors from others and connections were things that had to be returned.

Wang Zheng's notice was in the hands of Meng Ao. Every cloud had a silver lining! Although there were still six months, he could use this as an excuse to recall Wang Zheng.

Undoubtedly, Meng Ao and the rest were the most happy about it. Therefore, he had not obstructed the Chronos family when they were trying to fight for Luo Fei's slot. Because of this, the Chronos family would not be able to prevent them from recalling Wang Zheng.

In Meng Ao's imagination, Wang Zheng must be in dire straits. He might even be resenting his life. However, it would also be great for a teenager to undergo such trials. Meng Ao was not in a hurry, as he understood that one could only achieve success after sharpening and honing his character.

What he didn't know was that Student Wang was very happy with his current life.

Due to him becoming the section leader and his relationship with the Lan family, Wang Zheng basically had no need to attend the formalities. He had spent his time on training, mech research, and teaching his disciples instead.

Giants of Tita as disciples.

Other than Rara Durai and Shan Meng, Mu Sen had selected two extremely talented giants from the Pool Tribe and Ling Shan Tribe and gifted them to Wang Zheng.

Mu Sen even sent six giants to bring huge amounts of native products as tributes to Ada for this matter.

Looking at the teasing face of Ye Zisu, Wang Zheng felt that he seemed to be a crook and was bullying kids.

On the other hand, Kong Zhan and Ate's eyes almost popped out after seeing the giants bowing down on the floor to Wang Zheng. One wouldn't have to worry about surprises when one was with Wang Zheng.

Lan Ling had naturally tagged along. Although this was the first encounter between Lan Ling and Ye Zisu, it would have a huge impact on humans for the following 10 years or more.

Chapter 494: Women's Connection

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Relationships between women are different from relationships between men. They believe a lot in first impressions. This is because either that they could be friends instantly or completely not have such feelings.

From the first time Lan Ling and Ye Zisu met, the two of them could feel a sense of agreement. A strange atmosphere was forming between the two of them.

"Ye Zisu."

"Lan Ling."

The two girls smiled as they met and had the feeling that they had known each other for a long time. Without the need for introductions by Wang Zheng, the two of them started to shake hands and chatted happily, disregarding the people around them. They only regretted they didn't meet sooner.

Wang Zheng was a little dumbfounded. What was this about?

Otaku Barry was already completed convinced by Wang Zheng. Who was Lan Ling? She was definitely the gem of the Titatitan Star and yet Wang Zheng could invite her over as he said he could. An erudite person was indeed an erudite person, and we couldn't use an ordinary person's way of thinking to predict what the erudite person could do.

Ye Zisu and Lan Ling hit it off well. Obviously, this was because they had similar personalities. At the same time, their identities and backgrounds were also similar. This was completely different from Aina.

Aina seemed to be too high up, to the point that it made her feel unapproachable. Even Ye Zisu felt that way. However, Lan Ling was different. What was more important was that they had the same type of eyes. They lacked a friend who they could share things that were bothering them. When they first saw each other, they immediately knew that the other party was the person they had been looking for.

Wang Zheng felt a little helpless. What was this about? The two girls had been chattering for over an hour now, yet they weren't finished. Were there so many things to talk about?

Wang Zheng and Otaku Barry introduced the situation at hand as well as their prototype concepts to Kong Zhan together.

"Our current design is based on the blueprints of the Wind God. Considering the situation on the Titatitan Star, the Magnetic Force Source would be completely useless in this place. Therefore, the ways to increase the mobility of the mech and increasing the defensive capabilities would be the most pressing issue currently. Kong Zhan, you are a "Wind" attribute Ability X user. Do you have any thoughts about it?" Wang Zheng laughed.

Kong Zhan pondered for some time. "I have not thought of this problem before. It is indeed a headache considering the situation of the Titatitan Star. The unstable magnetic field might be due to the super gravity energy minerals. For human warriors who are used to energy shields for protection and laser weapons, it is clearly not convenient. First, we would have to decide on the positioning of this mech. Will it be used against the people of Tita or humans?"

After all, Kong Zhan was the captain of the Silver Snake Republic and had a very clear head.

"It isn't to be used specifically against anyone. What is important is to fully demonstrate the powers of the strong "Wind" attribute environment. This star restricts other Ability X users and therefore definitely allows Wind Ability X users to better display their abilities. As for this aspect, we are completely unable to achieve it."

Wang Zheng's concept was along the line of a super mech that would be capable of going against 100 enemies. The most important thing to achieve was to rely on the deterrence of the super mech. This would allow it to solve the conflict more conveniently.

Attacking wasn't a problem. No matter if it was a non-explosive weapons or an armor-piercing rounds, the types of weapons used would be similar to the existing ones. However, mobility and defence were areas that had to be resolved and improved.

On the other side, Ye Zisu and Lan Ling were already very close. Their gazes shifted towards Wang Zheng from time to time.

"Initially, I thought that the princess was you." Lan Ling's gossiping heart was boiling with enthusiasm. She had a rough idea about Wang Zheng's situation. She was also clear about the situation with Ye Zisu. Could they be considered childhood friends?

The little princess of OMG was also in possession of hundreds of millions of assets. A normal person would definitely not have to worry about clothing and food. This was at least the case for Earth. In the Solar System, she would also be able to live comfortably.

The crucial thing was that Ye Zisu had a great personality and was also very beautiful.

"It really isn't me." Ye Zisu smiled. In her eyes, there was a strange feeling. "We seem to be able to become really close friends."

"Who could she be? Based on what you had said, he is also the biggest shareholder of KING. I have also heard of that project. Furthermore, he is also a talent of the IG. What kind of girl can be so high and influential and be able to capture his heart? I really wish to meet her!"

Lan Ling's lips pouted slightly and she was clearly not convinced.

Deep inside her, Lan Ling was the same as Ye Zisu. She had great confidence in herself. Although they didn't belittle others, they believed firmly that they would be more outstanding.

"Sister Lan Ling. Let's stop the gossiping. I can see that Wang Zheng is going crazy."

"Alright, it seems that you are quite protective of him. Hmm. Gossip? He owes me a lot for saving his life, I believe I can find a way to dig the answer out of him."

After all, Lan Ling was truly Wang Zheng's life saviour and debtor. This debt of life wouldn't be so easily repaid.

She could tell that Wang Zheng still had thoughts of the girl that had dumped him. This was an aspect that Lan Ling respected. This had at least proven that Wang Zheng wasn't someone who would love just anyone he saw. On the other hand, she also felt that it wasn't worthwhile. There were two sides in a relationship. Being too stubborn would be unwise.

A new relationship would definitely be the best cure.

When Ye Zisu and Lan Ling joined the discussion, things started to get more interesting.

The mecha research and development that the Lan family had devoted all their efforts to had achieved a certain level of success. When she heard about the two pressing issues from Ye Zisu, Lan Ling chuckled to herself.

"Zisu, one of the issues can be solved. With regard to the issue regarding the transmission of the 'Wind' element, it is in fact a simple matter. G material together with the Super Gravity Energy Mineral could perfectly achieve it. The source of the problem would be the Super Gravity Energy Mineral. At the same time, it would also be the key to the new mech. Not only that, once it is added, this mech will also be able to display the same effects to a certain extent on other stars. Although it won't be as strong as on the Titatitan Star, it will still allow ordinary warriors to be able to access battle powers close to Ability X users!"

Lan Ling laughed.

It was then that everyone realized that it was such a big market. It was not being excavated currently. However, once it was, the possibilities were endless.

"If that's the case, my thoughts on movement and displacements could be realized. Since it would be based mainly on the 'Wind' attribute, that move has to have the unique characteristics of wind. I have conceptualised a method for the mech to ride the winds. That would be to use high speed drift with the wind currents!"

Ye Zisu's eyes lit up, while the rest were dumbfounded. Ye Zisu turned on the simulator in front of them. In the simulation, the mech was shuffling along various unfixed paths. However, it was clearly faster and more agile than merely flying in a straight line.

"Using the Super Gravity Energy Mineral, I could design a wind trail. The movement speed would likely be slightly faster than the Wind God. Obviously, there are technical aspects within it that we would have to overcome!"

Ye Zisu said excitedly. She had already formed a concept in her mind.

Wind trail?

Wang Zheng closed his eyes gently. In his mind, he could already picture a silver-colored mech moving around like lightning.

When wind was pushed to its extremities, there would be lightning formed.

"If that's the case, the weapons to be equipped should include a blade, a long blade specifically, to aid in slashing and killing. We should also try to minimize obstructions to it," said Wang Zheng.

"What are we waiting for? Let's start moving!" Otaku Barry had awakened from the shock of Lan Ling's arrival. Once the topic was the stuff in this aspect, he would be lost in it.

"Although we might be close, the accounts should be clear. It seems that we are close to achieving a collaboration," said Lan Ling.

Ye Zisu also smiled. "Sister's orders, I would definitely not object. Nonetheless, you cannot just bully me!"

OMG would be providing the design, while the Lan family would provide the resources. This was because the excavation rights to the Super Gravity Energy Mineral were with the Lan family.

Obviously, the two of them had only achieved a preliminary agreement currently. Lan Ling had already arranged for people to extract the minerals. She would want to at least have the prototype mech out so as to find areas for improvements and innovations.

With the help of the Lan family and the prior preparations made by Ye Zisu, the speed of designing this model of mech had accelerated to the next level.

For the following month, everyone had entered quite a busy period. The Red Fox had also made it easier for Wang Zheng after becoming the squadron leader. Although Wang Zheng was the section leader in name, Jing Long was the de facto leader of the Red Fox Section now. As for the Golden Fox and Silver Fox, they understood the situation and had also made it easy for Kong Zhan and Ate to help Wang Zheng.

The two of them had a clear understanding of the current situation. The Red Fox had become the squadron leader. Moreover, she had a connection with Wang Zheng. If they were to instigate a direct confrontation, they would be idiots.

The Red Fox wasn't a squadron leader who would be unable to accommodate others. She also had things that she had to worry about. Becoming the squadron leader was only the beginning. This was because the activities of the Blue Star Commerce Organization had been rather frequent recently. It was clear that they were getting a little impatient.

In the vast universe, delivery ship after delivery ship were heading towards the Titatitan Star.

In one of the cargo holds of a delivery ship, it was complete darkness. At this moment, the door opened and the lights within the cargo lit up one after another.

What was inside were rows and rows of … battle robots!

Mecha were undoubtedly the weapons for conquering by humans. However, to conquer a star with numerous inhabitants and a harsh environment, low IQ battle robots were undoubtedly the best choice.

There might be a lot of giants but could you compete with the noble sciences of humans?

At the same time, the teams of A-grade mercenaries were also within them. What would happened to the people of Tita with a battle robot army paired with mercenaries that had a wealth of battle experience?

Complete destruction!

Zarberg was looking at the stars and he could almost feel that he could catch sight of victory.

Surprisingly, Wang Zheng had received a transferred signal from the faraway Solar System.

When the image of Meng Ao appeared, Wang Zheng immediately stood up and saluted.

Meng Ao smiled and said, "It seems that you have been coping well on the Titatitan Star."

"Sir… it is pretty good here." Wang Zheng laughed.

"Hehe. The holidays are over. Prepare to return." Meng Ao was direct. The situation on the Titatitan Star was a little more sensitive and wouldn't be conducive for Wang Zheng to stay behind for a longer time.

Wang Zheng was stunned. "I have to go back already?"

Wang Zheng thought that he would have to wait till the situation had become more stable. Moreover, his mech design project wasn't completed yet. He had always thought that he would be staying around for a longer time.

"Just follow the orders. The administrative procedures will take approximately 1-2 weeks. You should also make your preparations to face the new challenges. The Titatitan Star… you could just treat it as a holiday trip."

Meng Ao said before he switched off the Skylink.

Clearly, the general would not explain anything to Wang Zheng. This brat was rather interesting. He seemed to like being exiled.

He had no idea that Lear and the rest had made huge strides forward. Staying in places like the Titatitan Star for long would only hinder his development.

The opportunity to attend the Elite Academy X must be held tight. Only those who had entered there would be qualified to become the elites of humans. It was the congregation place for the most advanced technologies and resources of the Milky Way Alliance. Those who graduated from there would become the pillars of the Milky Way Alliance and not just a certain federation.

As for the details, even Meng Ao was not qualified to know about them.

Once accepted, the security clearance of one's Skylink would be raised directly to grade A. When one was out for mission, it could also be temporarily raised to grade S.

As the general of the Solar System Federation, his security clearance was only at grade A.
