Chapter 490: Counterattack
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Within the tribes, the other giants were extremely jealous of the two of them. There was also a legend about a mysterious person from Earth circulating amongst the tribesmen. Also Earth was the origin of the human civilisation and was the mother Star for the noble civilisation which conquered the Milky Way.
Suddenly, comments and discussion in the garden erupted. The simple looking human in front of them was the Ada of the giants?
Could it be that he was the Wise one?
However, he seemed a little too tall to be one. In addition, they had not seen a Wise one that was of such a young age.
A new breed?
Ison and the rest knew about the identity of Wang Zheng. The truth was that they had been quite reserved because he had some background. If it was an ordinary soldier, they would have asked someone to drag him out. However, even if that was the case… Since when did he become so familiar with the people of Tita. Moreover, it seemed that the people of Tita were willing to submit themselves to Wang Zheng.
These were things that even the Lan Family couldn’t achieve!
At the moment, rumbling sounds could be heard from outside again. Another three Tita giants had arrived. On their shoulders, there were even the Wise ones.
Such a line-up was unprecedented. Together with the giant which had arrived previously, there were a total of 4 giants and 4 Wise ones. This had exceeded the scale that Lan Jiang had interacted with in the past.
When the crowd noticed the forehead of these giants, they were even more surprised. This was because there was a tattoo on the forehead of each of the giants. One of them even had 3 tattoos. Only the strongest warrior would have the qualification to have tattoos on their forehead. In other words, the strongest warrior of the 4 tribes had arrived. Moreover, only Elders or the Tribal Chief would be allowed to be on the shoulders of their number 1 warrior.
This…
The giants came to the side of Wang Zheng as though the rest weren’t around and lowered the Wise ones slowly.
Among them, the giant with the largest physique also bowed down in front of Wang Zheng. “Ada, Shan Meng missed you.”
“You should rise, let’s skip the ceremonies.”
Shan Meng was full of respect and awe towards Wang Zheng. Rara Durai was respectful to Wang Zheng and relied on him. Rara Durai was also more gifted than Shan Meng.
Ison wasn’t able to say a single word at this moment.
“Wang Zheng, we had met again. Let me introduced to you. These is Elder Guang Yao and Chief Prabuba.
Other than Mu Sen and Khalifa, another Grand Elder had come. The Grand Elder was one of the 8 Great Elders too and Prabuba was the Chief of the Kun Lun area.
“Mr Wang Zheng, it is nice to meet you!” Elder Guang Yao’s head was slightly longer and had a completely different face shape compared to Mu Sen. His stature was also slightly taller. Obviously, it could be due to him having a longer head.
“It is nice meeting you too Elder Guang Yao.”
Both of them shook their hands gently. The Elders had always used the human way of communication with the world of humans.
“Guang Yao, was I right about what I had said?” laughed Mu Sen.
Elder Guang Yao nodded his head gently.
The distinguished guests had arrived and the hosts had to appear. Lan Jiang immediately came out with several people around him. They were clearly all distinguished guests.
After hearing the reports, Lan Jiang was also surprised. He had not expected the people of Tita to show him such great respect. He was a little overwhelmed by the line-up.
He had heard about the mysterious stories about Wang Zheng from Lan Ling. However, he had not expected the people of Tita to show him such great respect.
The way the people of Tita formed relationships had differences with the humans’ way. While the influence of the party was important, they also placed equal emphasis on fate. Otherwise, they would not have only allied themselves with the Lan Family over these years.
There was an aloof looking teenager beside Lan Jiang. He didn’t seem to have the people of Tita in his eyes and even seemed to treat them as enemies.
“Let me introduced everyone to this man. He is Mr Zarberg, the one in charge of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation.”
Lan Jiang helped to introduce for everyone. It was clearly a grand event. There were representative from the Milky Way Alliance, Mr Ison Lingshi, representative from the Commerce Organisation, Mr Zarberg, the people of Tita, the Lan Family. It is truly a lively occasion.
“Miss Red Fox is truly glamorous. I have always admired warriors like you.”
Zarberg did not attempt to hide his perverted gaze.
The Red Fox smiled flirtatiously and easily withdrew her hand. “Zarberg is one of the most handsome talents in the Milky Way Alliance and is most known for his actions to stir storms and rain. I have been looking forward to meeting you.”
The Red Fox maintained calm and composed. Yet her words seemed to hint that this man wasn’t friendly.
Lan Jiang laughed. The benefits for the Lan Family were achieved through a balance by gaining advantages from various sides. The Super gravity energy mineral was an opportunity. Leveraging on this opportunity, the Lan Family hoped to get a permanent position after they joined the Milky Way Alliance.
It was to pursue victory in chaos. In other words, it was also to obtain power by walking on the edge of a knife.
However, speaking generally, the various powers had been showing him some respect.
“Wang Zheng. Brat, you have a great body and had recovered well. How are you doing since returning to the military?” laughed Lan Jiang.
Ison’s eyes flickered. He had not expected Wang Zheng to have such a good relationship with the Lan Family. One would know that the Lan Jiang was the de facto leader of the Lan Family. This old man was truly the most influential person in this place. Even if one was influential in other places, he would have to show respect before him on Tita.
Ison was definitely a two-faced person and regarded his interests as the most important. It was clear that Wang Zheng was with the Red Fox. If Wang Zheng was just a pro of IG, it wouldn’t have amounted to anything. However, if he was to use this relationship for the Red Fox, it wouldn’t be wise to not choose the Red Fox as the Squadron Leader.
“Red Fox, Mr Lan has spoken. You have to give the younger people more responsibilities. Being brave in raising and training the rookies is also consistent with the tradition of the Milky Way Alliance Special Action Team!” said Ison as he suddenly acted as though he was close with the Red Fox.
“That would be great. This would make co-operation between the Lan Family and the Action Team much easier. This guy is dependable.”
Everyone seemed to be unable to stomach it. With Lan Jiang’s position, he wouldn’t have to get on the good side of this immature brat.
However, Wang Zheng knew that this was Lan Jiang repaying him in an indirect way. This was because it was due to Wang Zheng that Lan Ling would be so successful in completing the negotiations on Tita.
“Haha, the Red Fox would be taking over the position of Squadron Leader. Although Wang Zheng is still young, his contribution was huge and can definitely take over the mantle of Section Leader.
Instantly, the Silver Fox and Golden Fox were grief-stricken. They would never have dreamt that the position of Squadron Leader which seemed within their grasp had flown away as though it had grown wings.
Ison was definitely a sly fox. He had kept a tight lip all along. By saying it out publicly, this matter was a done deal.
Although they were furious, they didn’t dare to show it.
Clearly, Wang Zheng’s close relationship with the people of Tita and the Lan Family had completely changed Ison’s stand. This was classic example of being merciless after changing sides.
No matter how calm the Red Fox might seem, her heart started thumping at this moment. One could remain firm if one did not have any desires. However, she had desires and had her own goals. That was to become the Squadron Leader of the Fox Squadron. It was a simple and direct goal. She had believed that with her abilities, she would be capable enough for the role and be better than the men. However, it was very difficult to do so as a woman.
What a turnaround! After hearing the good news, the Red Fox was emanating an alluring aura. However, her gaze was on Wang Zheng. Who would have thought that the brat that just arrived had achieved so much quietly.
Leveraging on this opportunity, Ison pulled Old Man Lan Jiang away for a chat. He had always felt bounded as a Consul. Everyone had showed him respect but that was pretty much all he gotten. When it came into doing work, everyone would be either trying to delay or obstruct him.
Since the Lan Family had such high regards for Wang Zheng, making the Red Fox the Squadron Leader would be equivalent to forging a relationship with the Lan Family. Moreover, Wang Zheng seemed to have a good relationship with the people of Tita. He was excited just thinking about it. As long as he could get Wang Zheng on his side, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to perform as a Consul.
As for who was to become the Squadron Leader, Ison did not really mind. It was the same for him no matter who would become the Squadron Leader. The military would forever serve the Politicians. For this position, as long as it was by a person that he had helped to secure the position, the person would owe him a favour. It would be alright if this person was to take the same stance as him.
Old Man Lan Jiang faced Wang Zheng and winked. The intention was clear. This brat had owed him once again.
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded his head. He would gladly accept this favour. With the Red Fox becoming the Squadron Leader, his days in the future would be easier. With regard to the new mech designing, Wang Zheng was still very excited about it.
Rara Durai and Shan Meng had started quarreling. They were quarreling over whose shoulders should Wang Zheng sat on. After being scolded by Mu Sen, they finally stopped and decided to take turns carrying him. However, their request was promptly rejected by Wang Zheng. This was a ball and not a hunting trip in the forest. This had disappointed the both of them. Both of them looked like a child who did not get his toys. Sometimes, the people of Tita were so simple and pure.
The distinguished guests arrived one after another. Among the immigrants, there were other powers other than the Lan Family. As for the Commerce Alliance, there were also other massive powers other than Zarberg who was the representative of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. All of them came well dressed. Some of them even came specifically from outside Tita Star. The respect showed made Old Man Lan Jiang extremely happy.
Wang Zheng had returned to his corner to eat. The Red Fox had been pulled away. After becoming the Squadron Leader, she would have a certain level of rights to speak on TitaTitan Star. Everyone had to get to know one another again and established friendly relationships.
As for Wang Zheng, it wasn’t that the rest didn’t want to get to know him. No matter how insignificant he might be, he was also a guest. Moreover, from the situation previously, this brat seemed to be well connected. Even if it might not bring benefits from being a friend with him, it wouldn’t be a bad thing too. However, the problem was…
Rara Durai and Shan Meng were sticking to Wang Zheng. They were standing to the right and left of Wang Zheng like two humongous keepers. Whoever tried to approach Wang Zhem would be stared at by them. As a result, no one dared to approach Wang Zheng… However, they did not know that Rara Durai and Shan Meng were already trying to maintain a gentle gaze.
“Old Man Lan, when will our beautiful star appear? Who would be the male partner for the first dance? Would you consider Xiao Dong from our family?”
Lan Jiang answered easily,” Old Man Yi, these are the youngsters’ matters. Let’s not be involved in it. Moreover, didn’t Xiao Dong already have a girlfriend?”
Everyone was chatting when they saw Sun Xin coming down from the stairs above. The crowd instantly quiet down significantly. Thoose who had some understanding of the Lan Family or Lan Ling would know who Sun Xin was. She was the personal assistant of the Missy of the Lan Family. Basically, wherever Lan Ling went, Sun Xin would be there first to make the preparations.
Was it that Lan Ling would finally be making an appearance?
