Chapter 503: In the name of Titan
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
With the matter going back and forth, another 10+ days had passed. In this half a month, the beautiful Tita Star had turned into blazing carnage.
It might require a long time to build a Star but destroying it could be done in a blink of an eye.
The robot unit swept through like a plague of locusts. The objectives of the Commerce Organisation were clear and that was to flatten the area. By doing so, they would not even have to cut down the trees when they built the mineral mines in the future. This was also why they had brought along the flamethrower.
The actions of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation were revealed in the end and had caused demonstrations of protests in the 5 main cities. Those who had been living on Tita had already considered this place as their home. There weren't many such beautiful Stars left in the Milky Way Alliance. Based on what the Commerce Organisation had been doing, they were going to convert this place into a mineral mining Star.
This had resulted in extremely high public anger. Naturally, there were public relations personnel from the Blue Star Commerce Organisation coming out to give explanations. They had claimed that the people of Tita had schemed to attack the humans and the Blue Star Commerce Organisation would guarantee the rights of every human inhabitant on Tita Star. Once the mines had been excavated, everyone would also receive a sum of compensation and could even go to the mines for work.
It would have been better if they had not made any explanation. With the explanation, the anger of the public rose even higher. These explanations seemed to be used for pacifying kids. The people of Tita had coexisted with the humans over the years. Why would they suddenly had a scheme once the Blue Star Commerce Organisation arrived. Moreover, there were dividends for everyone? All of them would have become mining workers under the blank cheques that Blue Star Commerce Organisation had issued. Did the Blue Star Commerce Organisation think that they were idiots and weren't aware that the Blue Star Commerce Organisations would leave after making a windfall.
There were demonstrations to combat the scheming companies everywhere in the 5 main cities.
In the Consulate.
Ison was savouring a Cognac that was kept for over a few hundreds of years. Only the Commerce Organisation would have the ways to get such an extremely good thing. However, the Consul wasn't feeling particularly great. The responses of this matter were a little too big.
"Mr Zarberg, your actions have to be quicker. The objections have been getting louder and louder. There were also quite a number of people who were protesting outside.
"Mr Consul, those who accomplish big things would not mind the details. We would still need your help to maintain the security within the cities. As for outside the city, rest assured. The Commerce Organisation had people sent to deal with it specifically. As for those human rights activists, let's be magnanimous and give them a chance to make some noise. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make a living. They should be thanking us for it."
Moore laughed.
"Mr Consul, our cleaning activities were going on very smoothly. The Kamla region is almost complete. As long as the first step is solid, the subsequent work could be complete in an extremely short time. Tita Star is huge and we would need some time. "
Zarberg said. They were still being very cautious. However, the battle strength of the Tita giants were truly too weak. It was really silly and naïve for a group of barbarians holding primitive weapons to go against them.
However, Ison frowned. "It better be the case. The objections internally and externally have been getting louder. Why didn't you all tried to settle it directly?"
Hehe, Mr Consul was also part of us. The excavation of the Super Gravity Energy Mineral was very troublesome. Some places weren't suitable for the operations of Wild Mecha but the giants would be great for completing these works. We were using the Kamla region as a demonstration to tell the barbarians that the only choice was to succumb to us."
Moore laughed. "The people of Tita seemed to be mobilizing their forces and wanted a death match with us. Therefore, as long as we agreed to this battle, the people of Tita would be scared to death and we could save ourselves a lot of trouble."
Ison finally felt relieved. He had also felt that the attacks of the Commerce Organisation were a little slow. He had not known that it was to drag it a little longer and solving all the problems at one go. It would be better than attempting to cleanse all the giants hiding within the deep mountains, which might be rather troublesome.
"Mr Consul, we were being careful because some people did not share the same goals as us. I heard that one of your underlings and a group of people were spreading rumours. Should you handle it?" said Zarberg.
"You are talking about the Red Fox?"
"Captain Red Fox was part of them. There were also some from outside places."
"There's a need to adopt some emergency measures."
The Red Fox was the original scapegoat. However, this scapegoat seemed not to be able to understand the situation and even wanted to resist it.
"Golden Fox, Silver Fox. The two of you shall immediately bring people over and control the Red Fox. For the other related parties, wait for further orders."
"Mr Consul, rest assured!"
Golden Fox and Silver Fox had been waiting for this order for a long time. After claiming credit for this order, not only could they be promoted but they could also receive a huge sum of remuneration. It would definitely be being stuck in a barbaric Star.
The same world in the eyes of different people would be completely different.
The Pool Tribe was the only place of the Kamla region that had not been showered with the flames of war. However, the robot unit had been approaching from all direction and ashes were everywhere.
Shan Yue wasn't looking well. The Ling Shan Tribe had been flattened by the robot unit led by the Mercenary Corps. The whole Tribe had been burnt to ashes. The warriors of the Ling Shan Tribe were either dead or injured. At the start, they had really believed that they could stop the army of the humans. However, after going against them, they finally knew how terrifying the humans' units were.
The ambassadors of various Tita Tribes had arrived. Although the war was mainly within the Kamla region, the Kamla region was only the beginning. There were incessant arguments over the past few days and a united view couldn't be achieved. In fact, there were more people blaming them than those who wanted to help.
Some of the people of Tita had believed that they should give the Kamla region away and allowing the humans to do whatever they want with it. Some of them even believed that the giants of Tita in the Kamla region had lost the soul and courage of the people of Tita after being too close with the humans. As a result, they were so fragile. They even believed that the steel-skin unit would not dare to go to other areas.
At this moment, they were still quarrelling. Mu Sen was looking extremely grim. He knew clearly about the intentions of the Commerce Organisation. However, the other people of Tita did not understand the humans. One could even say that their understanding of humans had originated entirely from the Kamla region.
This was because the 5 main human cities were all in the Kamla region.
Some people of Tita had believed that the giants of the Kamla region had lost their pride and soul and everything that was happening was their punishment.
Those with such way of thinking included the Wise ones.
Lan Ling had brought back over ten thousand battle armors together with Shan Meng and the group after "raiding" the garage. It wasn't that the Lan Family had not made preparations over the years. It was just that they had made a different choice at the crucial point.
However, even if that was the case, Lan Ling still did not receive the recognition from some of the people of Tita. Some even felt that she was scheming.
It was only till 10 flying ships dropping huge amounts of napalm in other regions that the situation garnered the attention.
The problem was that the flying ships were flying around in the air and the people of Tita had no way to counter it before their home became a sea of flames.
Although there were restrictions in using energy-based weapons on this barbaric Star, humans had other methods. Their primitive methods were even more direct.
This was an absolute difference in level of civilisation. Shutting themselves up during the era of Interstellar Navigation would result in one not being able to have any way out.
This was something that Mu Sen had already witnessed. He should have taken bigger steps. If he had done so, the outcome today might not be such a catastrophe.
The Commerce Organisation weren't afraid that the people of Tita gathering together. They were more afraid they did not gather together. Therefore they had used the napalm to push them along. They could either surrender or give their all. Either choice would make the war quicker.
There was a limit to bravery. The bombing flying ship had scared some of the people of Tita badly. They had only heard about the humans but had not experienced it themselves before. They were still under the delusion that the humans would fight with them using real knives and guns. When they saw the flying ship firing flames from high up in the sky, some of the people of Tita were devastated.
There was an extremely big change in attitude.
Mu Sen and Guang Yao were feeling helpless. They could tell that Shan Meng, who had always been brave and ferocious, had lost his fighting spirit. When the strength of the enemy was beyond imagination, even the anger for revenge was dissipating. One of Shan Yue's sons had also died in battle. He even died pitifully after being turned into a large fireball in front of Shan Yue without even touching the enemy.
This was completely different in the world of the people of Tita.
Mu Sen recalled a line from the humans. The advancement of a civilisation came along with the conquest of fire and blood.
The people of Tita would forever become slaves if they surrendered. If they choose to live, they would lose their souls.
If they chose to battle, the people of Tita might be erased from the Milky Way Galaxy. If they die, they would leave behind memories.
However, Mu Sen did not have the rights to make a decision in this aspect. Moreover, everyone looked lost.
"There weren't much time left for us. Everyone, let's make a decision soon."
Initially, there were still people advocating for battle. However, they were silent too now. However, no one was willing to give up. This would mean that the people of Tita would become servants of the devil and helped the devils to destroy their own Star completely. Once they had lost their value, their outcome would still be the same.
At this moment, someone had barged in. It was Lan Ling.
When they saw Lan Ling, everyone had a complicated look. This was because no matter what, Lan Ling was still a human.
"Lan Ling, what was the matter?"
"Lan Ling seemed agitated. "Elders, Wang Zheng… is back."
Wang Zheng?
Everyone did not know what to feel. It was another human.
"What about Rara Durai?" Mu Sen stood up suddenly. Even though it wasn't possible, it could also be the last hope for the people of Tita.
Lan Ling had a strange expression. Mu Sen became disenchanted. It seemed that everything pointed to disaster for Rara Durai.
At this moment, thunderous cheers erupted from outside the meeting room. Silence followed closely behind the cheers.
Everyone rushed out. A human mech was standing quietly at one side. The remaining giants of the Kamla region were basically all here and these people of Tita were all kneeing down on the floor.
The only giant that were standing… Golden drawings were intertwined all around the body. The giant also held a lightning-like spear and a big golden shield.
This was…
Titan!!!!
The door to the cockpit of the mech opened. Titan extended his hands over and carefully placed a human on his shoulders.
As the Titan left, all the people of Tita followed behind quietly.
Mu Sen's eyes turned teary. Disregarding destruction or anything, the people of Tita had found courage.
Rara Durai. It was Rara Durai. He really made it. Titan, the leader of the people of Tita! When catastrophe befell, he would descend. God would never abandon the people of Tita.
All the Elders and Chief looked at the Titan respectfully.
Rara Durai raised the long spear and the golden rays shot towards the sky. A strong gust of wind also appeared. "In the name of Titan, I summon all the warriors. Follow me. Fight~~~~"
The Titan's roar propagated across the entire TitaTitan Star. The only thing that was beyond life and courage was faith.
In the name of Titan, all the warriors of Tita congregated at the Kamla region to have a death match with the despicable schemers.
Chapter 504: A Fight to the Death
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Wang Zheng knew about the influence of Titan on the people of Tita but hadn't expected it to be so significant. When Rara Durai had appeared, there wasn't any need for explanation. As long as the Titan said it, they would use their life to complete any task. There wasn't any fear, but instead honor shone in their eyes.
It seemed that those who could get allocated work by the Titan would be accorded the greatest honour.
As the Ada of the Titan and coupled with the fact that Rara Durai had a great respect for Wang Zheng, these had allowed all the people of Tita to understand that this noble Wise one from the birthplace of the humans was a friend of Tita and a messenger of the God.
Obviously, the arrangement at the end was the work of Mu Sen. Mu Sen was undoubtedly the one who best understood the current situation among the people of Tita. He also knew how to go about solving it.
The trip to the abyss had opened Wang Zheng's eyes. Rara Durai's body was engraved with some formed of power. If the totem-like golden carvings were to be activated, it would form a power that could communicate with the "Wind" attribute Yuan Qi. As for the golden spear and armour, they were completely forged using the Super Gravity Energy Mineral. With the current humans' technology, this type of mineral had to be combined with alloys to have some restricted uses. However, this weapon had no such restriction and the power of it was rather exaggerated.
However, it was still a fanciful idea to think that they could use this to go against the army of the Commerce Organisation. Humans had the power to obliterate "God". When technology had reached a certain level, it was truly terrifying.
When he heard about Wang Zheng's plan, Mu Sen was truly stunned. He had thought that Wang Zheng had intended to have the people of Tita to engage in an all-out war with the Commerce Organisation. However, this was only a smokescreen.
Wang Zheng shook his head and said," Lan Ling had received news that this was exactly what the Commerce Organisation had wanted. They had prepared to wipe out the Tita people's effective strength once and for all. Obviously, I'm not looking down on the bravery of the Tita Warriors. However, we do not have to do this!"
"The robotic armies are just products that could be purchased with money. It wouldn't be worth it to exchange our lives for it. All we have to do is to destroy the command centre of their armies and we would be able to gain valuable time!" said Lan Ling. This was also the only way. If they were truly engaged in a prolonged war, even if they won, the people of Tita would be no different from having been exterminated.
Mu Sen was feeling grateful. He knew that this was the best solution. The other Tita people were only looking at Rara Durai. They only believed in the judgement of the Titan.
"Ada's thinking must be the best option. However, we would still need warriors to complete this decisive mission." said Rara Durai.
Instantly, the people from various major tribes volunteered for the mission. To be able to fight along the Titan would definitely be the greatest honour. It was especially the case for this war which would definitely be going into the history of the people of Tita. Every single person of Tita would want to be living with such an honour.
With regard to this kamikaze squad, Wang Zheng had never doubted the courage of the people of Tita.
"Is this information reliable?" Mu Sen decided to still ask.
"It was information from Lan Kao City and it is reliable. However, my friends have all been imprisoned. This battle is also our last opportunity." said Wang Zheng.
It appeared that Ison had been driven to desperation and had trapped the Red Fox and Zisu's group in the research lab. They had also been subjected to restrictions to exit. If it wasn't for the battle strength of the Red Fox Section, they would likely have the intention to attack their way in. However, by cutting off their supplies, one wouldn't know how long Red Fox's group could hang on.
"Although we know about the location where they were stationed, the actual difficulty of executing this mission was still higher than what I had expected. The Troy Mercenary Corps that were stationed there were well known in the professional mercenary circle. With over a hundred mobile warriors, a large amount of robot warriors that could be activated anytime and various gun turrets that were around their base, we would have to pay a rather high price if we were to attack them frontally."
Lan Ling said. This was a bloody kamikaze battle. However, if they did not have this decisive battle, what would be waiting for the people of Tita would be greater destruction.
Truthfully speaking, she really hoped that the Lan Family would take action and help. However, she couldn't influence the others and could only do so much.
"I'm sorry Elder Mu Sen."
Mu Sen smiled and replied," Miss Lan Ling, the truth was that the Lan Family had already helped us in many ways. We did not have the rights to force them to die with us. Lan Jiang might have had his considerations. At least he didn't stop us from getting the battle armour.
Mu Sen's smile was filled with intelligence. After giving some thoughts, it was also true. Lan Jiang would likely know about the things that Lan Ling knew. If he had told it to the Commerce Organisation, the Commerce Organisation would have sent people to stop them and would never allow them to retrieve the battle armour so smoothly.
The people of Tita knew how to be grateful. The truth was that at this point, Mu Sen was longer blaming the Lan Family. Moreover, Lan Ling was also part of the Lan Family. She had helped a lot in various ways. Without Lan Ling's strategic input, the people of Tita would definitely still be in a dire situation.
Similarly, it was through Lan Ling's connection that they got to know about Wang Zheng, the great benefactor of the people of Tita. Everything had its own cause and effect.
"It wouldn't be useful to have too many people. Everyone please look at this map. We have to infiltrate the place secretly and breach the first line of defence quickly. After which, we would need people to defend this point to allow others to rush in and solve everything. There would only be one chance and therefore I would need warriors who aren't afraid of death. No, I would need warriors who could persevere to the very end and see the light of victory!"
Wang Zheng said.
"Ada, all the people of Tita are warriors As long as you say it, we would defend it with our lives!" said Rara Dura.
The truth was that the people of Tita still couldn't understand why Rara Durai would still be so respectful to Wang Zheng after becoming the Titan. However, they only believe in one thing and that would be that the strongest person would always garner respect. The person that the Titan still had to respect would definitely be in possession of great power and wisdom.
This was something that only Rara Durai knew. If it wasn't for Wang Zheng, he wouldn't be here today. This was what could be truly considered to be bottomless power and wisdom. Wang Zheng even knew about the power of the Titan and how to use it. There could only be one explanation to it and that was that Wang Zheng was a messenger of the God.
"Rara, after we rushed in with the quickest speed, the enemies' robots would definitely be activated. Therefore, I would need you to lead 1000 warriors to defend this place with their lives and buy time for all of us!"
Lan Ling looked at Wang Zheng. The truth was that deep in her heart, she did not want Wang Zheng to go. The headquarters of the Commerce Organisation would definitely be heavily guarded. However, she also knew that Wang Zheng would not cower at this moment.
"If that was the case, we would recruit warriors immediately!" Mu Sen was already being decisive.
At this moment, a fuss could be heard from outside again. Shan Meng extended his head in and said," Ada, Titan. Our humans brothers have arrived and they are outside!"
Wang Zheng and the group immediately went out. The first to come out was Ye Zisu. Along the way, she was running and threw herself into Wang Zheng's arms.
War was something that was too foreign to Ye Zisu. This was also the first time she saw the cruelty of war. She would never have dreamt that the other party would be so brazen to even imprison them and had total disregard to the Constitution of the Milky Way Alliance. Furthermore, she was more worried about Wang Zheng. Along the way, the flames of war could be seen everywhere.
Wang Zheng patted Ye Zisu's back and said," It's alright. I'm here!"
It was only then that Ye Zisu realised that she had been too tense and agitated. She immediately stood up and wiped her teary eyes embarrassingly.
At this moment, the Red Fox and the group had already jumped out of the mech smiling. "Captain Wang Zheng, how could you leave us behind in a war!"
Wang Zheng laughed heartily. The truth was he was worried about rushing in because there were mobile warriors and gun turrets everywhere. These were stuff that the giants wouldn't be able to withstand. One could even say that they would be no hopes for survival for those who rushed in. However, it would be a different case if there were mecha involved.
"You all…"
The Red Fox pointed to the 2 people behind and said," We have to thank Kong Zhan and Ate."
Kong Zhan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I have principles and that would be that if I had a chance to fight along Wang Zheng, I would definitely not be his opponent."
Ate, who was standing at one side, nodded his head violently. "Wang Zheng, allocate us our mission. My hands are already itching for it!"
Kong Zhan and Ate were genuine professionals and these were the type of individuals which Wang Zheng was lacking.
They finally had some chance of victory.
The Red Fox had the best understanding of the landscape of the base. This was because not only that she knew about it, she even went there before. She was even stationed there for a period of time during sensitive times. Obviously, those times were just a smokescreen by the Commerce Organisation, to create the atmosphere that the people of Tita were threatening the safety of ordinary merchants.
The Red Fox had also thought of this point. Wang Zheng had gathered the people of Tita as a way to blunt the Commerce Organisation's onslaught. Nonetheless, they had to prepare for the worst.
If the other party had ample preparation and with only this small number of people rushing in, it would truly be a trip of no return and the consequences would be inconceivable. Wang Zheng wasn't willing to think about the outcome of the people of Tita if they lost all their external reinforcements. Obviously, he wouldn't want to die either!
"Oh right, Wang Zheng, did you want to know about why your spaceship was suddenly attacked?" The Red Fox recalled something unrelated suddenly.
"Yeah, it was someone from the Commerce Organisation that disrupted the signal. As for why they did it, I had no idea."
Wang Zheng was slightly stunned. He had no animosity with the Commerce Organisation. It could only be because of the Aslan Empire. With their influence, this might be a real possibility.
"There was something that I wasn't sure if I should say. I had heard it from the Silver Fox unintentionally. The meaning was roughly along the line that they were satisfied with the remuneration from the Earth and something about a member of the Alliance asking them to do so. In addition, they also talked about how a small figure wouldn't affect the greater picture…" said Ate. ��At that time, I did not pay much attention to it. Would it be related?"
Instantly, emotions were surging within Wang Zheng. He recalled many things in an instance and exchanged glances at Ye Zisu. There weren't many organisations on Earth that were qualified to enter the Commerce Alliance and they only knew one. Chronos!
All along, Wang Zheng had believed that it was Aslan who wanted him dead. Looking at the current situation, it seemed that Aslan only wanted to separate them. If they really wanted to kill him, they wouldn't have to send Aina to Atlantis. Someone had made use of this opportunity. This move was truly sinister and ruthless and Wang Zheng wouldn't even know why he died if it was successful.
Lear! You were truly terrifying!
Wang Zheng smiled. The problem that had been troubling him had been solved in this instance. As the successor of the Chronos Family, Lear would definitely become someone important within the Military in the future. Yet, he had expended so much effort and resources to deal with him. How could Wang Zheng not repay him well for it!
Since the Elite Academy X of the Milky Way Alliance had sent an invitation to Lear, how could the vice-captain of the Solar System Federation team miss this opportunity as well.
Ye Zisu didn't have to say a word. OMG and the Chronos Family were in a complete standoff. Ye Bingwen's campaign had received various obstructions by the Chronos Family. One could say the business world was similar to a war. If one failed, they might be beyond redemption. However, she had never thought that Lear would resort to these actions. These weren't something that a normal student was capable of doing.
The mission at hand was to first eliminate these scums of the Commerce Organisation. Not knowing why, Wang Zheng's morale had never been higher after knowing about what Lear had done.
Chapter 505: Unavoidable Confrontation
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
As Wang Zheng's side was preparing, the other side was also celebrating. Ison, Zarberg and the rest believed that victory was within their grasp. Initially, they were unable to stop the dissent from the voices of Earth despite the influence of Earth being very weak. This had given Zarberg some worries. However, no one had thought that people of Tita were being so accommodative and had started to gather. This was going entirely along with their plans and allowed them to save time.
Therefore, they were more than willing to give the people of Tita time to gather. However, small fries like the Red Fox and her group, who had been trying to foil their plan, had managed to escape. Nonetheless, Ison wasn't too concerned about it. It would be better if she died in battle. The most he had to do was to give her the title of being a hero. She would have caused more problems if she died in the city. Everything was proceeding smoothly.
Time had passed slowly. In the Canyon two hundred over kilometres outside of the Lan Kao City, it was the military base of the Commerce Organisation. It was known as the development centre of Tita Star to the outside world. Obviously, this name wasn't entire wrongly. It did facilitate the development of the star, unfortunately in this case, it had first burnt Tita Star to the ground.
Wang Zheng and the rest had already been lurking around the dense forest. They had thought about a sneak attack during night time. However, this wouldn't be possible. When it was night time, the combat robots would be fully released and this would cause them to be unable to deal with them. The security during the day would be relatively much lower.
After a final selection, Wang Zheng only brought only 800+ people. He had chosen the most agile and strongest of the giants. The absolute number wouldn't be the decisive factor. What they had wanted to do was to seize victory through a surprise attack.
"Otaku Barry, are you done? With your skills, these standards would be nothing." Lao Xiong was feeling a little impatient.
These filthy merchants dared to take actions on the soldiers of the Milky Way Alliance. It was something that they could endure but they weren't willing to just endure it!
"Stop rushing me. The monitoring system in this place is rather good. The captain had said that we couldn't afford making any mistakes."
Otaku Barry was genuinely a master of electronic warfare. The truth was that the Troy Mercenary Corps that were stationed in this place did not pay much attention to this aspects. They were going against a bunch of barbarians and wouldn't need a highly advanced defensive system. All they had to do was to follow through the steps. Practically speaking, they did not even need it.
The only thing that could trouble them was the Lan Family and they were equivalent to being a dog now. However, it seemed that the Lan Family was still a disobedient dog. Lan Jiang the old sly fox seemed to want to disassociate himself from both parties and wasn't taking any sides. There weren't such good deals in the world. It was just that they still need the Lan Family for now.
After a while, Barry swung his fist and said with a low voice," Settled!"
"Great! Let's go according to formation. Red Fox, the gun turrets at the door would be left to you. Rara, lead our brothers and rush in. Remember to maintain the formation and follow all orders!"
"Rest assured Ada!"
As the command was given, the mecha lunged forward and the scouts struck. The people of Tita who were equipped with battle armour followed behind and tried their best to maintain the distance as they approached slowly. There was still time and there was no point hurrying now. As they approached the base, they were getting closer to success.
"Red Fox, the targets are in range."
"Wait a little longer and allow the formation to press ahead a little more."
Everyone held on to their weapons tightly and their distance from the base was getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly, a deafening siren erupted in the base. Clearly, a giant had accidentally set off something or was discovered by the enemy.
"Action!" growled Wang Zheng. Sniper mecha immediately launched fierce attacks on the gun turrets. As for the giants, they charged fearlessly towards the main gate under the leadership of Rara Durai.
Rows and rows of combat robots had gushed out. When enemies come face to face, their eyes would blaze with hatred. Among those who were recruited to this kamikaze team, quite a number were from the Ling Shan Tribe. The whole Ling Shan Tribe had been reduced to ashes. For the giants of Ling Shan Tribe, they hated these robots to the utmost degree.
Shan Meng was leading the way as he launched his huge sword towards the robots. As for the combat robots, they raised their flamethrower in a neat fashion.
Just when everyone thought that the giants would be turned into ashes, Rara Durai let out a thunderous roar. The spear in his hands was raised and pointing to the sky. Rara Durai's body started to glow and a strong gust of wind appeared. Dark clouds started to appear in the skies.
In the instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Flashes of lightning struck towards the combat warriors following the direction the spear were point to. Rumble…
Flame-throwing combat robots exploded instantly. The back blast destroyed the robots that were gushing out from the back and the gates of the base were blown apart.
Ison and Zarberg were dumbfounded. They were looking at this idiotic brainless Tita people through binoculars. They had not expected them to attack the base with so little people. However, the performance of Rara Durai had given them a huge shock.
"Titan! There really was a Titan!" exclaimed Ison.
"Mr Consul, don't lose your composure. What is the Titan!"
"According to the legends of the Tita people, that thing is the son of the God, Titan!"
"He is just a barbarian who got his hand on some form of advanced weaponry. There's nothing to be alarmed about!" Moore said calmly. Although he was surprised, he felt relieved after seeing only one of such golden giants.
One could just disregard a giant who had changed his colour. In the face of such a large troop of robots, even God would be obliterated to pieces.
Practically speaking, after Rara Durai used such an attack once, the glow immediately dissipated. His whole body seemed to be drained of all strength. However, although Rara Durai did not move, the giants behind him started to rush ahead as though they had gone crazy.
There weren't any organisation. It was simply a crazy barrage of giants. They were fighting for the honour of the Titan!
These giants weren't afraid of death. No matter if their opponents were robots or what, they resorted to all means to battle.
Shan Meng was charging forward as the point of the vanguard. The shield had stopped waves after waves of attacks as he pounced crazily onto a combat robot. The equipment of the Lan Family still played a vital role. If they were to rush ahead without it, they would have just died. Nonetheless, Shan Meng still suffered a few shots but this wasn't enough to stop a giant who had gone berserk.
The Red Fox Section had followed through. They were in charge of getting rid those defensive facilities. These facilities could do greater harm to the giants but were a different story for the mecha troops.
The huge amount of robots weren't able to fully shown their might. This had allowed the giants to breach the first line of defence in one breath.
At this moment, Moore started to frowned. "Commander Miasu, exterminate the invaders at all costs with your people!"
"Mr Moore, rest assured. They are just a bunch of small fries." Commander Miasu, leader of the Troy Mercenary Corps, had his mobile warrior prepared since a long time ago. Since he had arrived on the Tita Star, slaughtering stupid Tita meatballs wasn't satisfying at all. It finally seemed that someone worthwhile had appeared.
Troy was originally a pirate. It was just that their background had been cleansed after going under the flags of the Commerce Alliance and he had started doing "legal business." However, their bloodthirsty habits had not changed over the years. There wasn't any meaning in killing giants. It was more interesting to kill humans.
"Rara Durai, Shan Meng. Both of you lead the giants to stop the robot unit in front. Leave the rest to us!"
"Yes Ada. For honour!"
"For honour!"
All the giants let out a huge growl and defended the passageway with their lives. As for Wang Zheng and the members of the Red Fox Section, they had headed towards the inside and rushed in.
Just when they appeared, a row of bullets swept across.
In front of them was over 100 different models of mobile warriors and everyone had their Titanium blades unsheathed.
There wasn't any place to retreat!
"Mr Consul. How long did you think would be needed for the battle to end?" laughed Moore.
Ison started to feel more relieved. The large troops of robots were pounding the defensive lines of the giants endlessly. The giants were falling one after another. There was one less giants with every one falling here. On the other end, there were an endless amount of robots.
Inside the place, over a hundred mecha were going against over 10 mecha. If they weren't able to win under such circumstances, they could just go and eat sh*t.

Wang Zheng was rushing at the front with his new mech. Miasu smirked coldly. With a wave of his hand, rows of heavy machine gun turret appeared from the tall tower at both sides. How naïve was that!
Red Fox and the group had a shock. They had not expected that there would still be gun turrets in this place and there were so many of them.
However, Wang Zheng did not retreat and continued charging ahead. He had become the target of concentrated fire.
Da da da da da da…
The gun turrets launched a fierce strafe of attacks. The new mech immediately activated the Sliding Rail. Zing Zing Zing… With three zig-zag slides, all the shots had missed their target. However, the second wave of attacks followed closely behind.
Wang Zheng was completely surrounded. The shield was of no use unless the shield was an energy shield. However, no one had an energy shield on Tita Star!
In the most crucial moment, the movement of the new mech wasn't affected at all. However, a strong whirlwind started to appeared on the surface of the titanium blade!
Ability X???
The only type of Ability X that could be used on Tita Star would be Ability X of the Wind attribute. Since when was Wang Zheng able to do so?
However, it would be pointless too even if he had Wind attribute Ability X.
Zing…
A wind wall appeared in front of the mech. Rows and rows of armour piercing rounds landed on it mercilessly.
Was this a joke? One could simply forget about Wind attribute ability users. One would be pierced through even if God was here.
However, the scene that stunned everyone had occurred. These armour piercing rounds seemed to have been stuck onto the Wind Wall and had been blocked by it!
This was the perfect reaction from the combination of the Ability X and the Super Gravity Energy Mineral. It was also what Wang Zheng had managed to understand from the Titan Sacred Temple.
The Wall of Despair!
Taking advantage of those lost in concentration, the reaction of the Red Fox Section was very fast. They immediately launched their attacks on the gun turrets. It was the smart thing to first eliminate these.
The mecha of the Troy section had also charged towards Wang Zheng. Miasu was wearing a smirk. He had not expected to encounter such an interesting prey.
The mobile warriors were rushing directly ahead to Wang Zheng. In an instance, Wang Zheng's mech launched a Sliding rail. The mech followed it and the titanium blade struck out in the instant they passed one another.
The two mech stopped moving immediately after clashing before shortly falling into two.
At the same time, Kong Zhan and Ate had rushed ahead. The two of them had followed behind Wang Zheng closely. When they realised they could fight along Wang Zheng, they had stopped thinking about life and death unknowingly. They could felt an uncontrollable fighting spirit as long as they could see the figure in front of him.
If one would say Wang Zheng's Wind Wall was only a small trick, what came after that could be considered to be the real show.
After slicing apart the two mecha in an instant, Wang Zheng headed towards the formation of the Mercenary Corps without looking back. Although the number of enemies seemed limitless, this was something easy for Wang Zheng.
Using the words of Bonehead, these so-called numbers were only used to cause psychological deterrence. In limited space, one could only face a limited number of mecha. A real warrior could just completely treat those at the back as wooden blocks and slashed through them one after another.
This model of mech hadn't been named and Wang Zheng had not thought of one. However at this moment, he suddenly had a thought.
— The Storm Swordsman!
The person moved as the blade moved and the blade moved as the wind moved. The movement was elegant but the heart was wild!
Whenever the surrounding mecha wanted to attacked him, Wang Zheng would be able to escape using the Sliding Rail. He would then move extremely close to his opponents, virtually sticking next to them. By doing so, the surrounding people would immediately hesitate to take further actions in fear of hitting their own people. At the same time, Wang Zheng did not hold back in his attacks. The sliding rail appeared right after and the Storm Swordsman struck in the instance.
The titanium blade that was imbued with the cutting power of the Wind attribute could totally disregard any defence. Even if there was a shield, it would be sliced through!
If one could equip an energy shield, Wang Zheng would have been caught in a standstill even with his strength and would eventually die of fatigue. However without the energy shield, who could stop a real swordsman?
Wang Zheng was totally in a killing frenzy. Every slash brought with it an explosive blade gust. Despite killing all those who had surrounded him, in an instant, over 10 mecha surrounded Wang Zheng yet again. Those of the Mercenary Corps weren't afraid of death as well.
With a roar, the Storm Swordsman rushed out with it's Sliding Rail. Following which, the titanium blade slashed out.
A shocking scene had occurred. This time, it wasn't a wind wall but a tornado which was thrown out from the titanium blade. The tornado expanded in an instance and swept towards the Mercenary Corps.
At the same time, Wang Zheng's Storm Swordsman had also disappeared. The performance of the Super Gravity Energy Mineral within the mech seemed to have been ignited. Wang Zheng could feel that the mech was completely weightless now and seemed that it could even fly by controlling the air flow within the whirlwind. The mech levitated into the sky.
Zing Zing Zing…
The whirlwind dissipated. The Storm Swordsman lost its support and landed on the ground. At the same time, 8 mecha of the Mercenary Corps' mobile warriors also landed onto the ground.
Rumble rumble rumble…
They fell one after another in a row.
Miasu's jaws had dropped. He had been in the Mercenary Corps circle a long time and knew about the existence of a super warrior. However, in this remote place, even a super warrior had to lower his pride. What the hell was this!
Kong Zhan and Ate had been completely left behind. This was truly crazy. He had also piloted this mech before and he was also a Wind attribute Ability user!
"Why is there such a big difference!"
Boom… Kong Zhan destroyed another mech with one strike as he was cheering excitedly. It seemed that he was enchanted by the scene ahead of him!
They just had to follow behind. Wang Zheng was able to defeat another mech in one strike. He was surprised himself. His battle was mainly based on his innate abilities. He had never dreamt that the combination of the Super Gravity Energy Mineral when combined with the abundant Wind attribute ability would create such a magical effect.
However, this clearly wasn't the time for him to be surprised. Once the Storm Swordsman landed, it immediately moved as the blade moved in tandem.
At this moment, the Red Fox had finished off the gun turrets. They were also surprised by Wang Zheng. Although they knew that Wang Zheng was a pro from IG, he was currently on TitaTitan star!
Even a super warrior would not be able to fully display his skills.
However, even if a super warrior would not be able to display, it didn't mean that Wang Zheng wouldn't be able to do!
Just like those giants who were trying to stop the pounding of the robot army with the bare body, Rara Durai had always believed that Ada would definitely save them!
This type of trust had supported Rara Durai to lead the giants. Rara Dura let out an angry roar. Even if they were to fight to the last man, they wouldn't allow the robot army to rush past them.
That growl had also greatly stimulated Wang Zheng's power. Kill kill kill!
The Storm Swordsman had charged ahead. It was only at this moment that the leader, Miasu, had reacted.
"Stopped him quickly. Don't let him get in!"
However, Wang Zheng's Storm Swordsman had charged in with an unstoppable momentum. His target was the control room. As long as he could destroy the signal tower, the robot troops would lose their mobility.
On the other hand Kong Zhan and the rest were shouting wildly as they tried to stop the rest. If it weren't for Kong Zhan and Ate, the Red Fox Section wouldn't be able to stop these Mercenary Corps by themselves as they weren't weak too.
However, Kong Zhan and Ate were both pros of the Milky Way Alliance's IG and represented the highest level in the military. At the same time, they had been stimulated by Wang Zheng and weren't afraid of death anymore. This wasn't something that the Mercenary Corps could destroy in a short amount of time.
At this moment, a deafening siren sounded in the ears of everyone. What followed it was a raging fire.
The signal tower had been destroyed!
There were only approximately 200 Tita giants left while there were endless amount of robots in front of them. Suddenly, all the robots' actions started to slow and soon they stopped moving completely.
Ison was shocked. Damn, what kind of useless group were they. They couldn't even defeat one person with a group of people.
Moore and Zarberg also exchanged glances. Moore even dropped his cigar. Why were they in this position after being in possession of this type of strength?
Moreover, what was this mech. Why would this magical super mech be on Tita Star???
After destroying the signal tower, Wang Zheng piloted the Storm Swordsman, turned around and killed its way back. Those 10 Mercenary Corps' mecha that were approaching him suddenly retreated in fear.
Miasu looked at the group of giants equipped with battle armour. His face darkened. Although business was important, keeping one's life was more important.
"Retreat, retreat immediately!"
After finishing his line, he ran away in the first instance.
This had greatly enraged Zarberg who was spectating. "Who were these cowards? What kind of professionals were they? Bullshit. Moore, think of a solution quickly!"
Moore wasn't looking great too. He had never expected things to turn out this way and that the enemy would turn the table around. They had mobilized their troops to destroy the Tita people in one fell swoop and this had led to the inadequacy of the defense of this place. He had not expected them to take advantage of it. He had also not even dreamt that they would have hidden such a high level warrior in this place.
"Moore, stop dreaming. Think of a solution quickly. At this rate, we would be finished!"
Moore smiled faintly. He opened his Skylink, activated the loud hailer and turned it to face outside. "Everyone stop or bear the consequences!"
All the guards had retreated. What Moore had done was equivalent to revealing his position and saved Wang Zheng's group the time to look for him.
"Red Fox, you all are members of the Milky Way Alliance Special Action Team. How could you go against direct orders? Aren't you afraid of being charged in the Military Courts?" Ison said as he tried to appear tough externally although he was shivering on the inside.
The Red Fox smiled. "Aiyo, isn't this Mr Consul. I'm afraid the one who would be charged in the Military Court would be you!"
Moore smiled and asked Ison to move aside." The pilot of the new mech must be Wang Zheng. If I knew that you would foil our plan, I would have finished you off previously!"
"That's the reason why! You had wasted such a good opportunity." said Wang Zheng. "Didn't Lear tell you who I was?"
Moore didn't reply and only moved the image of the screen away. "You have forced me to take action. I had not intended to do this. There os a warship directly above the space of Tita Star. There are also quite a number of Tita people that had gathered. It is time to directly destroy you all!"
Moore, how dare you use interstellar weapons? Aren't you wary of the Milky Way Alliance's laws?"
The Red Fox said angrily. To launched a direct attack from space would bring about unpredictable scenarios based on Tita Star current situation. This would bring about irreparable damage to the Tita Star.
"These were all because you all had forced me to do so!" laughed Moore. "With just a light push of a button from my place, everything would end. The Milky Way Alliance? Psh! Who would know about this?"
Everyone went silent. They didn't knew if Moore was bluffing but no one dared to be rash. This was because from the signal of Moore's Skylink, there were indeed several main cannons of several warships aiming directly at Tita Star.
Using the transmission of the Super Conducting Energy Mineral, these types of weapons could bring about an unforeseen-able catastrophe. They would even lose their lives in the process. Moore was truly thinking of perishing together with them.
Moore wasn't thinking of dying. This was truly about perishing together if this group of people were willing to play with their lives. This project had to be successful or the Blue Star Commerce Organisation would be used as the scapegoat by the Commerce Alliance and abandoned. Their outcome would be worse than death.
"Retreat immediately or you know the consequences. I'm not just scaring you. I will give you 3 minutes to consider!"
Moore said the words calmly and was completely confident. He was stalling for time.
However, at this moment, it seemed that a wormhole was opened by a battleship and was approaching at high speed.
The symbol on it was… the Aslan Empire???
Chapter 507: Hanging by a hair
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
The symbol on the leading ship was… the Princess's ship???
The Princess of Aslan had arrived on Tita Star?
On top of the ship was a corolla that symbolised the Aslan's Princess. It was specifically for the use by the Princess.
Ison was also dumbfounded. Why would the Aslan Princess come to this barbaric planet???
"Moore, ignore the princess or whatsoever. Activate it quickly before she tries to stop us and chase these barbarians to the gates of death!" Zarberg growled angrily.
He knew clearly that once he was stopped, he would lose everything and might even be thrown into the jail.
Ison did not say anything but his face had turned pale. Moore's hands were shaking and gritted his teeth as he couldn't make his decision.
"Ison, you have to think clearly about it. Using an interstellar weapon to destroy a planet in front of the Aslan princess would warrant the highest penalty in the Milky Way Alliance!"
"Don't listen to this gibberish. Finish him!" Zarberg growled angrily.
However, Moore released his hands in the end. Ison also let out a heave of relief and collapsed.
Even If they could activate the interstellar weapon to destroy the Tita people in front of the princess, they would definitely not be able to cover it up. One could only imagine the waves and waves of attacks they would receive and they would only end up worse. Not only they would be punished as an individual, they would also implicate their entire family, relatives and even related people. This was because the crime for this type of destruction was the greatest. They weren't a country but just merchants.
Moore knew clearly that this was the only way they could stay alive. If he had activated it, they wouldn't be any way that they could keep their lives.
The only thing he couldn't understand and couldn't reason how was it that a barbaric planet was worth the Princess' presence?
Could there be anything that was more unlucky than this in the world?
In the room, the three of them were catching their breath. They couldn't imagine the future that would be awaiting them.
Blue Star Commerce Organisation's project on Tita Star ended in complete failure.
Red Fox announced the removal of martial law using the identity as the highest temporary commander. At the same time, she detained Ison and the relevant Commerce groups.
After losing the support of the combat robots, the Tita giants started their counterattacks. The Mercenary Corps cleverly chosen to surrender.
They were paid to do a job and weren't responsible for giving up their lives for it. Moreover, their bosses had been captured and they had no intention to retaliate.
At this moment, the Pool Tribe seethed with excitement. Mu Sen was full of smiles. They had used the smallest price to win this war for freedom. Obviously, they had the help of their human friends.
The Milky Way Alliance meeting finally had a reaction. They had no choice but to react to it. Who would had thought that a matter of this grade would involve the Aslan Princess. This represented the attitude of the Aslan Empire. This was especially the case since the Constitution of the Milky Way Alliance was involved. Once a position was taken, it had to be resolved.
The effectiveness of the Milky Way Alliance was on display this time.
Ison, Zarberg and the rest were immediately transferred to the Milky Way Alliance Courts. The next step would be to collect evidence for a period of time and go through the trials. Undoubtedly, the human rights groups in the Milky Way Alliance would not be courteous with these terrorists who waged wars and bombed and destroyed indiscriminately.
As the Red Fox had an extremely great performance and defended the Milky Way Alliance's pride and trust, coupled with the fact that the opinions of the Red Fox were highly sought after, she had become the new Consul. She would also be taking on the position as the Commander of the Milky Way Alliance Peacekeeping Force at the same time. The Milky Way Alliance would also be sending a peacekeeping force to be stationed on Tita Star. At the same time, the Red Fox would also be responsible in co-ordinating the relationships with the people of Tita and complete Tita Star's application to join the Milky Way Alliance.
In the Consulate, Wang Zheng saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time. The truth was he really hope that it was Aina at this moment but he knew that this wasn't possible.
Lin Huiyin was here and had saved his life. More accurately, she had saved the entire Tita Star.
The Royal Family of Aslan did not agree to it. However, they had underestimated the guts of Huiyin, your highness. She was more undaunted and reckless than Aina and weren't afraid of anything in the world. The worst it could get would be that she caused some trouble and would be grounded. It wasn't that she had never been grounded before! It would be even better if she could be removed from the role of a princess!
Angela was helpless. She wanted to object to it but Lin Huiyin only said a sentence. Either you can choose to be my follower or you can leave.
Angela had never heard the Highness say such harsh words. She knew that the little princess was truly enraged and could only follow her words.
The other guards remained outside. Angela closed the door and stood guard outside. Beside her was a huge monster that had a really huge physique.
Although Shan Meng was covered in injuries, he was still alive. As long as he was still breathing, he would be responsible for the safety of the Ada. Rara Durai and Lan Ling had returned to the Pool Tribe. Large amount of Tita people were gathering and there were subsequent things to be settled. If it weren't handled well, it could turn into unrest. However, with the Titan around, he was confident that it would turn out well.
When she saw Wang Zheng's fatigued look, Lin Huiyin's tears immediately streamed down. "These people were too bad. Were you injured? I wanted to capture all of them."
Wang Zheng touched Lin Huiyin's head. "I'm fine, why did you come to this place?"
Lin Huiyin rubbed away her tears and replied," No one would help you so I would. At the worst, I wouldn't be the princess anymore. I would have more freedom!"
Wang Zheng was truly feeling a little touched. "Silly brat. Don't be so rash in the future. It was dangerous. Nonetheless, thank you. You are the real hero here!"
When she heard these, Lin Huiyin smiled brightly. The little brat had a sweet smile. It seemed that this was the highest compliment that she had wished for.
The truth was that during the situation then, Wang Zheng had already taken aim at Moore. However, he didn't dare to act impudently as there were 2 other existences. If anything were to go wrong, Wang Zheng wouldn't dare to think about the consequences. Huiyin's appearance stopped a catastrophe from unfolding
Faraway at the Pool Tribe.
The giants were still quarrelling incessantly until the arrival of the Titan. The giants had completely submitted due to fear. After going through this war, the people of Tita in the Kamla region finally understand the strength of the humans. Although they had friends among the humans, they also had enemies. It was only through joining the Milky Way Alliance and had co-development that Tita Star could become stronger and safer.
Lan Ling was undoubtedly the most trustworthy friend of the people of Tita. The Titan and Lan Ling would be jointly responsible for joining the Milky Way Alliance and excavating the Super Gravity Energy Mineral.
The appearance of the Titan was undoubtedly a good sign for the people of Tita. This would meant that the people of Tita had overcame a catastrophe and would be walking to glorious days. At the same time, Rara Durai's opinions would also be the opinions of all the people of Tita.
After celebrating for a whole day, even Lan Ling was feeling dizzy. She still had to discuss various agreements with the people of Tita in subsequent days. The Lan Family weren't glorious in the entire incident but the people of Tita trusted her. They didn't care about the others and were only concerned about Lan Ling.
What was more important was Wang Zheng.
All the Tita Tribes had a legend circulating about a human from the origin of humankind. That mysterious messenger was the master of the Titan. At the same time, he was recognised by the Titan God and had saved the Tita Star single-handedly.
Wang Zheng was supposed to celebrate with the people of Tita about such moments. However, he had to accompany Lin Huiyin. This rash brat had made a huge fuss over this. He had heard everything from Angela. After returning, what would be waiting for Huiyin would likely be punishments from the Royal Family from mobilising the Princess Defence team without permission and going against orders from the Royal Family…
Looking at the heartless smile of Lin Huiyin, what Wang Zheng could do was to make Huiyin's refugee days a little happier. Obviously, there was also Ye Zisu. With old friends around, Lin Huiyin wouldn't be bored.
As for other matters, there would be more appropriate people to handle.
After 5 days, the multi-party summit to discuss Tita Star joining the Milky Way Alliance and excavation strategies was held in Lan Kao City. This was a joyous day for the people of Tita and the human immigrants. This was because the TitaTitan Star would officially become part of the Milky Way Alliance. As Lan Ling had submitted huge amounts of data relating to Tita Star's mineral reserves and their uses, Tita Star had been graded as a Grade 1 planet. In other words, its political position was only behind the 10 permanent members of the Milky Way Alliance. Obviously, this was also an attempt to compensate for the negative publicity caused by the Commerce Organisation's attack.
Nonetheless, with Tita Star's advantageous natural environment and unique mineral reserves resources, it was definitely worthy of the title. In other words, Tita Star would have 2 important seats in the Milky Way Alliance meeting. From now on, they would not have to worry about such things happening again as they had a place to raise their concerns.
In addition, there were unexpected good things happening. Initially, Huiyin was filled with anxiety over the last few days. She was really being rather undaunted and reckless when she heard that Wang Zheng was in a dangerous situation. However, when she recalled her mother's face, she was afraid.
However, the situation was the exact opposite. Under the current tense international situation, Aslan Princess's action had received praises from various countries. During the times when various countries would stay away from the matter if the matter didn't concern them, the Princess' actions had defended the Constitution of the Milky Way Alliance. In an instance, Lin Huiyin had become a positive model. No matter what, at least she wouldn't be punished when she returned.
Huiyin didn't care about any rewards. She would be happy as long as nothing would happen to her.
Chapter 508: Maturing Man
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Besides that, the voices of the Solar System Federation were also well received. They would definitely have stayed away in such matters that didn't concern them in the past. However, the candidates for the committee members of the Solar System Federation had vehemently raised their voices about it to request for the upholding of the Constitution of the Milky Way Alliance and to protect the roots of humans. Although the effects weren't big, it was truly one of the few political voices about the mater. This had greatly raised the image of the Solar System Federation in an instance.
The reactions of the Solar System Federation were even quicker. It was said that these two members were in fact poised to become part of the committee and was just lacking in the administrative procedures. As the creator of the Milky Way Alliance and one of the permanent members of it, the Solar System Federation had always been devoted to protect the peace and development of the Milky Way Alliance.
When she heard about the news, Ye Zisu was very happy. This was because politics and economics were different. Although OMG had a certain economic foundation, it would be difficult to go beyond this barrier. She had also heard his father saying that he would work harder if he failed this time and opportunities had to be fought for slowly. However, due to this incident, what was originally thought as a troublesome and futile job had changed because of Aslan's attitude. Coupling with the fact that the Solar System Federation had always liked to go with the flow, the matter of him and Solon had been settled.
New committee members, new vitality. They would bring a new force to the Solar System Federation. Obviously, this had also made several people regret. They had not expected such a drastic change. This also meant the rising of a new power.
As various parties were celebrating, it would seem that someone was left with nothing. That was Wang Zheng. Not only that Student Wang didn't receive any rewards, he had also received subtle criticism from the military. This was because he had not followed the orders for him to immediately return to the Solar System Federation. As for the credit of the Titatitan Star joining the Milky Way Alliance, it had naturally fallen onto some other people.
Nonetheless, he didn't cause any negative influence and was even able to make some small contributions. His contributions were just enough to set off his wrong-doings and nothing much was said. It was just that he had to return to Earth as soon as possible and wait for the next arrangements to be made.
Truthfully speaking, no matter whose idea it was or what intentions they had, Wang Zheng didn't mind. After going through so many things, he clearly knew what kind of world he was in. If he wished to fulfil his goals, he would first have to fulfil the capital needed for his goals.
Everyone was gathered together. Red Fox, Lan Ling, Rara Durai, Mu Sen, … and even Lin Huiyin and Angela had gathered. It was beyond anyone's imagination that these people would gather together.
However, this group had gathered because of Wang Zheng.
Due to the strong request from the Tita people, Wang Zheng had become the first Governor of the Titatitan Star.
The Titatitan Star was the hottest topic recently. After the real value and reserves amount were revealed, it had attracted the attention of various powers. These powers were also dissatisfied with the Commerce Alliance. Clearly, the Commerce Alliance knew about the benefits and therefore was willing to devote such capital. Who could have tolerated it after knowing that the Commerce Alliance was trying to enjoy the benefits themselves?
Not only Aslan had reacted, the Arbiter Republic's voice was even louder. Arbiter Republic was known to take advantage of any situation. It was clear that they weren't really feeling as what they were claiming and wasn't truly trying to further condemn the wrong doers. They were trying to make the Commerce Alliance pay for it and it was said that they had signed some unequal agreements in the past previously.
Everyone had their attention on the first Governor. Without a doubt, this person would be greatly loved and had great authority.
"Wang Zheng, stay behind!" Lan Ling said sincerely. The hidden thoughts of a young lady were clear from her gaze.
"Wang Zheng, your brothers in the section all hope that you will stay!" The Red Fox also made her stand clear. With regard to this capable and yet not arrogant member, she truly had a high opinion of him. No matter if it was the entire matter or his bravery, the Red Fox could only said that he wasn't an ordinary person.
Only Ye Zisu knew that she didn't want Wang Zheng to stay behind. This was because it would mean that they would be separated by long distances. Although OMG would also set up a branch in this place, their roots were still on Earth and no place would be better than their home.
However, Ye Zisu also knew that staying behind would be more suitable for Wang Zheng. If he returned, he would definitely encounter various party trying to hold him down while he would had the absolute support of the people of Tita and the Lan family here. No one would be able to harm him even though it was a political joke to make him the Governor considering his age and experience. However, the Titatitan Star had absolute autonomy and was currently a member of the Milky Way Alliance and a free country under the protection of the Milky Way Alliance. No external forces had the rights to interfere. They could even make a three year old kid the Governor if they wished to.
The wishes of the people of Tita were the most pressing. This was especially so for Rara Durai. He had not smiled since he had the thought of Wang Zheng leaving. He didn't have to care about what the military of the Solar System Federation thought. As long as Wang Zheng agreed, they would be equal.
To reach the heavens in a single bound wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Everyone stared at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng smiled and stood up. He bowed at everyone.
This was because his answer was rejection.
In fact, he had never felt conflicted on this matter. He would definitely leave. The Titatitan Star was just a battle in his life. His route was much longer than this. If he stopped here, he wouldn't be able to go far.
The truth was that Mu Sen knew about it. The Titatitan Star was still too small. To be rich in monetary terms wasn't Wang Zheng's goal in life.
"Mr. Wang Zheng, I would like to say a sentence on behalf of the people of Tita. No matter where you are and when it is, if you need us, all you have to do is to say the word. Using the words from the Earth, we would go through boiling water and walk through mountains of fire without a word!"
Mu Sen had become the Grand Elder of the people of Tita now. He was the only Grand Elder. His performance during this catastrophe had gained the trust of the people of Tita. With the appearance of the Titan, there must also be a Grand Elder.
"Elder Mu Sen, we will forever be friends."
Rara Durai who was at one side could no longer hold back. The huge giant had cried surprisingly. Luckily, no other giants were around. In the Tita Tribe, the awe of the Titan had never been so high. Some warriors from the strongest tribes couldn't hold back their desires and challenged the Titan. The results could easily be expected. Rara Durai went against 10 of them at the same time and completely conquered the people of Tita.
"Rara, look at you. You are the leader of the people of Tita now. This will only be a temporary separation. When we are free, you can come and look for me on Earth and I could come to the Titatitan Star. At that time, you have to cover my lodging and food!" Wang Zheng laughed.
Everyone laughed and was envious of the friendship Wang Zheng had with the people of Tita. The one who was the most surprised was Angela. It was a blessing in disguise for the entire world because of the terrifying mineral reserves on the Titatitan Star. In the Milky Way Alliance, one's strength would determine how loud their words were. Currently, the Titatitan Star had a rather loud voice. From the current situation, it would seem that Wang Zheng had a great reputation in this place. What was more impossible was that he had given it up so easily. What kind of a person was he?
Angela couldn't see through it and couldn't understand.
However, Lin Huiyin was carrying a smile throughout. She was proud not because of her own actions but felt proud for Wang Zheng.
"In this case, I have decided to nominate Elder Mu Sen to become the first Governor of the Titatitan Star," Lan Ling suddenly said.
Almost everyone had thought that the Lan family would accept this important position, but Lan Ling had given it out. This was because the Lan family wasn't qualified. Although she had protected the Lan family's standing, what Lan Jiang had done was too damaging. Moreover, this would further help the people of Tita to step out from deep within the mountains and build the Titatitan Star together with the humans.
Mu Sen was also slightly stunned. He had not expected Lan Ling to have such a suggestion.
"In fact, that would be for the best. From now on, we will be a family. Elder Mu Sen, it couldn't be you are trying to slack off!" Wang Zheng laughed.
The Titatitan Star had two seats in the Alliance. One of them would be given to Mu Sen, while the other given to Lan Ling. Lan Jiang was no longer suitable to show his face. If it wasn't because he had closed one eye at the critical stage and allowed the giants to get the battle armors, the standing of the Lan family would be at further risk. After all, this was a betrayal to generations of work.
In this case, the Titatitan Star's Great Excavation Immigration plan and the Mineral products excavation plan could be best protected. Moreover, the people of Tita would also give their all to help out. One should know that if the giants were willing to work, the efficiency couldn't be compared with the past.
With Ye Zisu as the spokesperson of Wang Zheng, OMG Company was also the first external company to be stationed in the Titatitan Star. They would also receive the best treatment. This was because the Super Gravity Energy Mineral would be a valuable resource that couldn't be bought even if one had the money in the future.
Wang Zheng wasn't concerned about it. The practical matters would be handled by Mu Sen, Lan Ling and Ye Zisu. As for him, he brought little Huiyin on a tour around the Titatitan Star under the companionship of Rara Durai.
The small Huiyin and the huge Rara Durai were brought together by fate and hit off really well. Rara Durai really liked and respected this adorable little Princess. In Rara Durai's perspective, the smaller their body size, the greater their wisdom. Moreover, this little princess was their saviour.
As for Huiyin, she had loved to play pranks on others. This was especially so as to prank a huge giant. No matter what she did, Rara Durai would always be laughing.
He was too happy.
He was the Titan and the new leader of the people of Tita for the next hundred years. He also had to ensure that the Titatitan Star would become worthy of its name. As for the abyss, it had been locked down by the Tita people. That was a sacred ground. No matter what the secret was or what power there was, it wasn't a place for external people to dabble in. That was their faith. Clearly, there would still be warriors to enter the abyss for training every year. Wang Zheng had really wanted to say to forget about that place. It would simply be throwing one's life away.
"Brother Wang Zheng, I want that flower!" Huiyin was truly very happy.
Although Rara Durai was tall, he still couldn't reach it. They had no other choice. Wang Zheng stood on the body of Rara Durai and raised Lin Huiyin up.
However, just when Huiyin was about to touch that flower, the flower opened its mouth and spat out some pollen. This gave the little princess a scare and she sneezed several times.
The scene had greatly amused Rara Durai. Who could say that all giants were stupid?
Angela only followed by the side like an observer. She was responsible for the Princess' safety. However, even she could feel that wherever this person was, she would seem to feel happy and comfortable. It seemed that all her worries had also disappeared.
It was just that… Princess Huiyin was getting older and she was being a little too… close to Wang Zheng.
However, since it was only for two days, Angela closed one of her eyes. It must merely be a kid's affection.
On the other hand, Ye Zisu was shocked by the proposal that Mu Sen had placed in front of her. She didn't dare to sign it.
Chapter 509: Grasping Tita
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
"Miss Zisu, it is clear that Wang Zheng places his trust in you. This is a token of appreciation from the people of Tita, in the hopes that he does not forget us."
"Elder Mu Sen, this is too…" Ye Zisu could not believe it. In the allocation of minerals, the majority share was received by the People of Tita' – after all it was their mother planet. The Lan family received 8 percent, and 30 percent went to the Tita Star's construction and expansion. Ye Zisu, representing Ye Bingwen and OMG, would receive 1 percent. Aslan Empire would receive 1 percent. This was how the People of Tita expressed their gratitude. The arrangement would last 10 years.
While this was generous, the important thing was that OMG and Aslan Empire would both have a privileged status in development. This meant unimaginable wealth and influence; the short-term profits paled in comparison.
But what troubled Ye Zisu was that the remaining 60 percent was definitely the People of Tita' share. The issue was that now Mu Sen was giving 30 percent to Wang Zheng, permanently. Within a day, it could be his, and for all his future generations.
This had indeed shocked Ye Zisu out of her wits. Given Mu Sen���s intellect, he must be clear of the immensity of such benefits. Most crucially, this would create far reaching impacts on future production. Would Mu Sen really trust the future of the Tita Star to one person?
"Little girl, I know what you are thinking. That you think this way tells me that you are of the same character as Wang Zheng – not the greedy type. We People of Tita are not stupid either. On the mere basis that Wang Zheng is the Ada of the Titan, we the People of Tita would not have given so much either. "
Ye Zisu was really stunned. That was valid, but what could be the real reason for them to choose this course of action?
"That is a secret. One day you will understand. For now, I would like to request for you to keep this confidential and manage it well. I believe that this will all have a purpose someday. In the instant we entered the Titan temple, the destinies of People of Tita have been tied with Wang Zheng's." Mu Sen said seriously, his tone both solemn and severe.
��Elder Mu Sen, if you feel I am worthy of this trust, then I am willing to take up this responsibility."
"Trust us people of Tita's judgment of character. We are more perceptive at evaluating humans than even humans yourselves."
Mu Sen said as he shook Ye Zisu's hand. Although this arrangement was confidential, but it implied that Ye Zisu would hold considerable authority on Tita Star, especially with the support of Mu Sen and the People of Tita.
Until the talks ended, Ye Zisu had been in a daze. She could not understand, could not see clearly. Wang Zheng was still Wang Zheng. From the moment he rejected them, she had known that he had not changed, but everything else in the world seemed to be moving too fast for her.
It looked like the People of Tita still needed Wang Zheng, and everybody wanted to maintain the connection with Wang Zheng regardless.
But the cause?
The reason?
Ye Zisu was sharp, but she could think of no reason. Mu Sen was not as impetuous as Rara Durai – he had always been calm in the face of crises. But for such a person to make such a bold decision…
But, since it was for Wang Zheng's benefit, Ye Zisu would always protect it!
Yan Xiaosu would definitely be happy. He would finally be able to quit selling sanitary towels, which the People of Tita probably did not need anyway…
That was probably a good idea…
Inexplicably, thinking of Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu lifted Ye Zisu's spirits extraordinarily. After the troubles had passed, the sky seemed particularly beautiful.
Without even noticing, Wang Zheng's path had moved beyond her understanding. In truth, she had initially felt that Wang Zheng giving up on a windfall like the role of Governor was a pity. But retrospectively, Wang Zheng had not only lost nothing, but he had also gained a dependable ally. At the same time, he would not be attract too much envy at his position which would expose him to the wider world. Because once he became Governor, fatalities were a possibility. A dead Governor could do nothing. As long as it was mankind, the position of First Governor was not an easy post to sit on. But the People of Tita were an entirely different matter.
There was no doubt that Mu Sen's tone and this additional guarantee both pointed towards this one matter. In the future, Tita Star and Wang Zheng would be in the same boat.
Ye Zisu felt sincerely proud. The Aslan Empire might look down on Wang Zheng, but someday Wang Zheng would have them on their knees before him in regret!
And as for Wang Zheng?
It was as though nothing had happened. He was cheerful from morning till night. Once they knew that Wang Zheng was leaving, Jing Long and the rest had not let him off easy, keeping him drinking till he dropped.
They had learnt of Wang Zheng turning down the post of Governor from Red Fox, and felt both admiration and a pity. But thanks of Wang Zheng's arrival, Jing Long and the rest would eventually take up posts in Tita's government. Barry had gone one step further, and would possibly head research in the future. They really raised eyebrows this time round.
They had drank too much that day. Barry cried noisily. He, who had been forced to leave Astina because of that incident, had always borne a heavy burden on his heart. But lately, his alma mater had reached out to him, for him to give a lecture when he was free.
A lecture?
This was clearly nonsense. They wanted to improve their relationship.
He had actually become somebody who took the stage, and returned in glory!
Wang Zheng had changed too many lives, and yet he himself seemed to have nothing. He stepped back alone on the spaceship to Earth.
Ye Zisu was not on the same flight. She would be delayed by a few days, hammering down some crucial details that were best attended to now. Once the various agents began to enter, things would be a lot more complicated.
Wang Zheng had to leave. The military was pressuring him.
Yet Wang Zheng felt not the slightest shred of desolation as he left Tita alone, his eyes gleaming.
Ye Zisu would keep secrets from anybody but Wang Zheng. She had thought he would react differently, but he simply said that he would leave it all up to her.
In the Titan temple, Wang Zheng had seen some things that were better off unseen. Although they had no idea how Mu Sen came to know of it, but now they were all in the same boat. Only, Mu Sen seemed to have taken a liking to him. In truth, he had no such extraordinary ability.
The boundless galaxy was always so beautiful.
Behind him, Tita grew smaller and smaller, but Wang Zheng believed that it would continue to grow more and more beautiful. And he would return to fight and drink with them. At that time, Rara Durai would be even stronger.
But thinking of Red Fox's private farewell, Wang Zheng was not sure whether to laugh or cry. 36D had indeed been ferocious, and his guard had almost slipped. If it had not been for a timely message from Lin Huiyin, he might have lost it in a moment of passion. Even now, he looked back at it with a tinge of regret.
Huiyin had left 2 days earlier than him. Royalty could not be away for too long. Aslan Empire's first announcement declared a period of constructive cooperation with Titatitan Star. They would send ambassadors, and adopted an enthusiastic attitude towards further cooperation with Tita.
But enough of them. Other countries were also lining up out the door, but it was too bad for them. Tita's development did not need so many parties. Lin Huiyin's "childish" decision was now met with nothing but praise back in the palace.
Chapter 510: No Chance to Beat
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Wang Zheng was on a passenger spaceship, which would pass through a few stellar systems. He regarded it as a stellar holiday, where he could see all sorts of people. This was a relaxing process, and he eventually needed to calibrate his attitude back for school.
After more than 10 days of travel, Wang Zheng's transit on the Solar System 330 finally approached Mars. It would make a brief 10 minute stop, and the next stop was Earth. From Aslan to Titatitan, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. So many things had happened that Wang Zheng felt he had been away from home for a long time.
He felt a little homesick suddenly.
Wang Zheng looked out the window. Even Mars felt really close now. He wondered how Lie Xin, Lie Guang and the rest were. They must be keeping busy.
More passengers boarded, headed for Earth.
The spaceship quickly took off again towards Earth. Wang Zheng was still staring out the window. Compared to other stellar systems, the Solar System's space scenery was definitely not as gorgeous, but it had a moving feel to it that was refreshing.
"Excuse me… are you… Boring Zheng?" A voice was heard.
Wang Zheng turned around. A pretty girl stood in front of him. She was more than 170cm, sylph-like and petite, and accompanied by a young man of large stature.
"You are…" Wang Zheng also felt that she was familiar, but could not put his finger on it."
"It's really you, you haven't changed! I'm Yu Qian, your junior high classmate. Don't you remember? We were in the same class in our first year." Yu Qing said delightedly.
Wang Zheng was stunned, his face showing his disbelief. "You're Chubb-… Yu Qian, oh! You've changed so much!"
On closer inspection, her face shape was largely the same, but it was hard to imagine that this good-looking girl used to weigh close to 200lbs in secondary school, and definitely a plus-sized one.
"It's not much, I've just slimmed down some. Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend Tan Long, he's also my university classmate, and my senior at the First Martian Sage College."
Wang Zheng reached out a hand, which was received warmly. Both shook firmly. "What a coincidence, to meet an old friend here."
Yu Qian was friendly, sitting in front of Wang Zheng with her boyfriend.
"Boring Zheng, were you at Mars to play? I remember you entered Ares College back then."
At her mention of the Ares College, Tan Long's eyes flashed with surprise.
The Ares College of today was completely different from the past. It was definitely the most famous military school in the Solar System Federation.
"Nope, just passing through. I'm on the way home."
"No way, solo travel? Where's your girlfriend?" Yu Qian said. She was clearly still as casual as always.
Tan Long coughed uncomfortably from the side. His girlfriend was even more forward than the Martian girls. If he had a girlfriend, he would not be travelling alone…
"She's abroad." Wang Zheng replied with a casual smile, unwilling to explain further.
To coincidentally meet an old friend so far from home had lifted Yu Qian's spirits greatly. She had been like this in the past as well. She had been on Mars these few years without returning home. Who would have thought that she would meet an old classmate on her first trip home?
"Boring Zheng, don't take this personally, but you have to change your character. You're still the same as before. You're already in university, and there's no need to work so hard anymore. Get a degree and find a job, that's it right?" Yu Qian said.
Wang Zheng nodded agreeably. Yu Qian had always been the procrastinating optimist. It had been so long since anybody called him Boring Zheng.
Yu Qian's nickname had been Chubby Qian. Wang Zheng, who had his head in the clouds, had undertaken great efforts to enter military school, although his results were average. At the same time, he seldom interacted with other students, and developed the nickname Boring Zheng, a tasteless person much like overboiled cabbage.
"Little Qian, the Ares College is flying up the rankings, and now a prestigious military school in the Solar System Federation. How could he just take it easy? Perhaps Wang Zheng might even be an official after graduating." Tan Long was a little exasperated at his girlfriend. He knew that her mouth was often faster than her brain, but this could have been a little offensive.
"Long, dear, Wang Zheng was famous in our school. He's a most interesting guy, let me tell you…"
Wang Zheng did not even get a chance to stop her. His most embarrassing moments were exposed in a flash. His antics of jumping in the lake, confessions… His eyes were always teary, but why did he always cry soundlessly?
Seeing Yu Qian so excited, he did not have the heart to stop her, just smiling sheepishly. But such boisterousness was pretty entertaining as well.
"Brother, you're really a genius!" Tan Long, having heard the stories, gave him a thumbs up. "Indeed!"
Such matters were dismissed out of hand on Mars. They did not particularly mind it, doing whatever they wished. Youths were meant to be adventurous.
He had already taken the blow for Yan Xiaosu anyway. Although that had led to him getting to know Ye Zisu, which had brightened the whole matter considerably.
With the presence of Yu Qian, the journey had become less lonely. She had chattered all the way till Earth about everything and anything. The different views from Mars, the mysterious Sage Sec, etc. Wang Zheng and Tan Long were utterly swept away, reduced to mere listeners.
When the spaceship reached the airport, it was time to part. Yu Qian still had energy to spare. "Wang Zheng, our junior high will soon celebrate its 100th year anniversary. You have to go!"
Wang Zheng waved her off hurriedly, making his escape. Her verbal attack was frightening. His head was about to explode.
"Alright, don't shout, dear. Did you use to have a crush on him? I'm hurt." Tan Long jibed.
"Crush, my foot! Back then, Boring Zheng and I were always the target of our classmates' bullying, and were pitiful comrades. But I have to say, so many years have passed, and he hasn't changed one bit. "
Yu Qian shook her head. Boring Zheng's dressing was as basic as always. One could not tell him apart from a student. His hairstyle too was a little dated. Could the Ares College really be so backward?
"Boring Zheng, what Boring Zheng? Is that his real name?" Tan Long asked curiously.
"His name is Wang Zheng. Oh that reminds me. It wasn't nice to say to his face, but his genetic score is only 28. Haha, what a joke, it's like an animal's." Yu Qian laughed openly, but turned to see her boyfriend petrified in shock.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? I promise there's nothing going on between me and him."
"The legendary Wang… Zheng?" Tan Long said faintly.
"What legendary Wang Zheng? That guy is a dumb-dumb. Such a far cry from you. You're the mecha valedictorian in the First College."
Tan Long sighed deeply. "Please don't compare us. There's just no basis."
"Keke, only I can say that, not you! He's still my classmate after all!" Yu Qian knocked his head playfully.
"What I mean is, how can I be compared to the Solar System Federation IG team leader, our undisputed King." Tan Long laughed a little bitterly.
Yu Qian's jaw dropped, and her eyeballs almost popped…
Back on Earth, Wang Zheng still felt a little un-adapted. Peace and prosperity, an urban jungle, hovercrafts zipping back and forth, cars packed till the city borders… and a lack of vitality. Wang Zheng felt suddenly grateful that he had went to Tita.
At once familiar and foreign.
On hearing the news, Yan Xiaosu immediately began wailing. "Boss, you should have told us you were returning. I was just at Titan for business. If I had known, I would have forgone all the Titan markets to have come to fetch you."
"Alright, that's enough. Just get on with your work." Wang Zheng scolded smilingly. He had already heard from Ye Zisu that Yan Xiaosu had been applying himself, vowing to leave his tyrant identity behind for nobility.
Besides the tyrant, Gu Te had assembled the students and staff of Ares College to welcome the returning Wang Zheng. In truth, Gu Te felt a little guilty as well, to have sent the esteemed IG team leader all the way to a barren planet. That had been unforgivable.
The scene was not particularly grand. The students were mostly Wang Zheng's former classmates in Physics, and 2 student representatives from Mecha. The teachers were just Zhuo Mu and Luomu. It was rumored that Xiao Fei was recently so busy that she was forgoing meals.
"You did well, we're happy for you!"
Gu Te hugged Wang Zheng hard. When one had lived as many years as he, he no longer wanted for anything. All that was left were ideals, and with such a worthy student like Wang Zheng, what else was there to ask for?
Luomu and Zhuo Mu's pride shone from their faces as well, especially Luomu. Wang Zheng had been under his guidance all the while, from his time working at OMG. He was practically half a younger brother.
The Physics students were as welcoming. "Prof Wang, when are you coming back to teach us?"
"Yeah, you have to do a seminar or something once in a while!" Translocation was now a specialized area of the Ares College, and everybody was full of good feeling towards its founder.
The two Mecha student representatives were a little embarrassed. They were not too sure of what to say. Wang Zheng was both familiar, yet foreign. And they were a little curious as well.
Familiar, because they had also surreptitiously watched Wang Zheng's battle footage in IG. Foreign, because it was their first time seeing him in person. And this Wang Zheng seemed incompatible with what they had seen of the mecha fighter. Could this person in front of their eyes be the almighty expert?
After a period of exuberance, Gu Te also sensed that Wang Zheng was not at ease. He laughed: "Alright, that's that. Go back to your lessons now, and hold Wang Zheng as your role model. Wang Zheng, I need to talk to you."
Luomu and Zhuo Mu nodded, and led the students away. Although the reception had been modest, but in Wang Zheng's current state, it was not appropriate to call too much attention.
Gu Te led Wang Zheng to the principal's office, and personally poured him a cup of tea. "Sit, hehe. The welcome reception was a little simplistic. Are you disappointed in your alma mater?"
Wang Zheng sat upright. "You're too kind, Principal." Towards Gu Te, Wang Zheng had always held the utmost respect. Without Gu Te's support, Wang Zheng would not be what he was today.
"Haha, don't be so formal. You were never that sort." Gu Te laughed heartily, sitting down beside Wang Zheng and reaching an arm over his shoulder. "For now, don't bother yourself with the school's matters. Forget about attending class as well. Focus on your preparations to go to the Elite Academy X. That boy Yuxin is already there waiting for you."
There was no way to play this low-profile. Meng Ao had already told him some things, and he had his own sources of information. Therefore, he had to think of ways to protect Wang Zheng.
"Really?" Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. He had not heard news of Xie Yuxin for a long time. "How is he?"
