Ace Of Terrans

Quo Lina was surprised by his claim but she did not show anything on her face, except a faint blush that crept up naturally. The fat lady saw this and said, “There are a lot of people who are runaways, but that does not mean you could bypass the rules, no?”

Theseus sighed and said, “Big sister, it is not that I plan to bypass your rules. The thing is that my family is rigorous and Lina is from an average family, they do not wish for me to mingle with her, but big sister, tells me what can I do when I love her and what is the use of my being a man if I cannot protect the one I love?”

The fat lady looked as if she bought the story, but who knew she would simply kick Theseus in the nuts when she said, “What you have to do and what you are facing has nothing to do with me. Do you think only you have problems? This entire district is filled with people who were abandoned by their own people. Some of them are brothers betrayed by their own blood. Go tell your sob story outside and someone might empathize with you.”

Theseus was at a loss and wanted to come up with any other logic when Quo Lina said, “Elder Sister, you need to validate our identities, we can show you our school ID cards, but can you not input them in the system?”

They were aware that there was no system in this city but the reason they did not wish for her to scan the IDs was that they did not trust these people. If their IDs were used for something shady, it will screw things up for them. The fat lady saw that this couple of kids was very cautious, and she nodded.

Quo Lina tugged on Theseus’s shirt and the boy nodded. They quickly operated their communicators and displayed their IDs as the students from the FSA to the fat lady, who was surprised. The FSA was world-renowned and the people all knew about it as the students would appear at various events and competitions all year round.

She took a deep glance and then nodded. The two put away their IDs and the lady said, “Your room is down the alley on this floor.”

The two nodded and turned to head toward their room but not before Theseus planted a micro camera for surveillance. He did not want to leave his back exposed to this fat lady. The others were more or less the same. They planted cameras in the suspicious spots. The movements were fast and sleek.

This was a benefit of the problem children squad. They were all sneaky and sly, and the people in Jung-ta were not a match for them. After all, they had to survive among those beasts from the battlefield. These thugs were just ants in their eyes. If not for the order of the Teacher, they could have left Chou out and had him thrash these people and they will extract all the info they want.

…

Shi Lang and Martha were talking to the maintenance staff who showed them the central control system and left them to inspect. The young man was planning to use his ID, but then on second thought he contacted OB-One and instructed the bot to hack into the system and help him find the file he wanted.

The bot complied and used his superb skills to hack in and take out the files from five years ago. Shi Lang found that there were as many as fifty women who had given birth in this place during that month. Things were simple, and they quickly found the file which matched Tao’s DNA sample by an exact copy.

The young general then asked the bot on the other side to locate this woman. OB-One did not ask anything and began to work. Usually, he would have been able to find out in a few minutes, but this district had no surveillance. Shi Lang decided to wait. He gave up the facade and moved out of the hospital. He looked at the thug and said, “This place is well maintained, you all have done a good job, I will put in an application to the federal health ministry to appoint a good doctor here, however, you guys will have to arrange for his or her security, if this doctor is harmed, then I will personally have the automated system in this hospital shut down.”

The thug nodded quickly and flattered Shi Lang as they sent him and Martha away. The two people came back to the bus and found that the group of children have also returned. He looked at the students who were yet to go out and walk around this place, and said, “You all have one task to do, rig this place with micro cams, however, you must not be caught or noticed by anyone. Understood?”

The people nodded and they quickly dispersed, Shi Lang watched them leave and said, “Martha, you have command here, all of you do not step off the bus at any condition. I am going to keep an eye on them.”

He did not wait for them to reply and jumped high into the sky. Theseus and the rest watched him vanish in the blue sky turning into a dot and then invisible. They felt their throats dry up. They cast a gaze at Martha, who said, “Hehe, I didn’t know this guy could fly.”

She was shocked but not too much, after all, Jane has told her a lot of things about this brat. So, she could say that she was used to his surprises. Quo Lina was very curious about her teacher, and thus she began to chat with Martha, who accommodated these kids with grace. After all, she had just crossed the peak of her youth and was getting more motherly with each passing day.

…

Shi Lang stood in the void with his arms crossed in front of his chest and mumbled, “Hmmm, they have some shortcomings but that is fine, they will learn.”

OB-One said, “Sire, shall I hack into the micro-cams left behind by these children?”

Shi Lang replied, “Yes, commence. Also, I am dropping some bug bots, have them reach deeper into the buildings and houses.”

The butler confirmed and took control of the fly bug bots dropped by Shi Lang. They were delicate pieces of machinery and OB-One was the wizard. The cooperation was seamless and in a few minutes when the students returned, the bugs had taken over the district. Every crossroad and every turn was being watched, the party hugs, the abandoned streets. The homeless people’s shelters and everything in the place was under the vision of Shi Lang and OB-One.

Shi Lang simply hung in the void and waited for the results. The file they found had a photo of the biological mother of Tao. The reason to look out for her was to make it so that he could ask why the child was abandoned and the other was to ask her for custodial rights of Tao.

If she could abandon the child, then he would not let her have any contact with Tao at all. Suddenly, after a couple of hours, OB-One said, “Sire, the target is found, she is engaged in a gunfight, ten kilometers west of you.”

Shi Lang did not waste any time and flew toward the mentioned spot. His speed was fast and he delivered a message to Martha that the children must not be allowed to get off the bus. He did not want any of his students to suffer, and just when he was getting rigid in his thoughts, he was attracted by the sounds of a gunfight.

He stopped in the void and looked down to find a petite silhouette sticking behind a car, hiding from the gunshots fired by the enemy side. Shi Lang waited to see what this lady could do. His intuition was correct, this lady was tough but not skilled. She was facing a machine gun with a handgun.

He smiled and descended on the location. He did not speak but the enemy snipers informed them and the gunfire ceased. The people were shocked to see a handsome human levitating in the void. The young man with crimson eyes smiled bewitchingly and said, “Can you guys stop shooting? What if you scared her away?”

The people were scared and overwhelmed by panic, they raised their guns and started shooting at him. Shi Lang stood in front of the bullet shower ricocheting as they fell on his body. He just closed his eyes. After a few seconds, the guns ran out of bullets, and Shi Lang sighed as he snapped his fingers and said, “Sleep.”

He did not seek bloodshed without a motive. The people lost consciousness and they all fell to the ground. Shi Lang used spiritual energy to send the soundwave into their ears and stun them. Then he looked behind the car and found the lady passed out. He smiled and picked her up and vanished from the place.
