The Accountant stood to one side, looking at the unconscious Lan Jue with eyes full of envy.
This was because the powerful Mercenary King, Zeus, was lying in the arms of four girls.
Ke 'er held his head, letting him rest on her lap. Mika and Xiuxiu supported his arms and body, one on the left and one on the right.
Lin Guo-guo clung to his thighs.
Tears streamed down the faces of the four women.
"So annoying!" Kerr spat, tears streaming down her face.
"Yeah, so annoying!" Lin Guo-guo clenched her jaw. Her face was a mask of hatred.
Xiu Xiu was speechless.
Mika's lips were pressed tightly together. Deep in her beautiful eyes, a fierce light flickered.
Suddenly, as though they sensed something, the four women lifted their eyes to look at a certain someone. "What are you looking at?!" they shouted.
"Get in the ship!"
…
Planet Skyfire. Skyfire Avenue. Skyfire Museum.
"I didn't expect it to be the Pontiff's Citadel." The Clairvoyant stood by the window.
The Wine Master wasn't far from him. "Why didn't you let us go with them this time?
It doesn't matter who the enemy is, anyone who dares to plot against us will pay the price. "
The Clairvoyant smiled. "This child needs to grow, and growth comes at a price.
Otherwise, how will he be able to command Skyfire Avenue, and stand tall in all three Major Leagues? "
The Wine Master shook. "You've made up your mind?"
The Clairvoyant's face was bitter. "I have no choice!"
Hearing this, the Wine Master's face changed.
"Old fart, always talking like a ghost.
The Pontiff's Citadel, hmph! "A hoarse voice came from the other side of the Clairvoyant.
An old, stooped figure slowly rose from his chair, and tottered out of the room.
The Wine Master looked at him, but the old man didn't even turn his head to look at him. As he opened the door, the Wine Master caught a glimpse of something sparkling in the glass.
"Should I go after him?" The Wine Master asked the Clairvoyant.
The Clairvoyant smiled calmly. "Let him go.
It's just that we're too low-key.
Any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to offend them.
It was time for him to move his old bones a little.
Don't worry, although he always looks like he has one foot in the grave, this is also the best protection he can give himself. "
…
National Eastern University.
"Today, we will continue to discuss the significance of the combination of space technology and mecha.
It was common knowledge that due to the emergence of spatial technology, a few top-tier mechas could use high-grade spatial energy gems to store their mechas in a stable space and release them when needed.
In order to achieve the state of being one with the human at the first moment, he could fight calmly.
So, apart from this, what other connection does space technology and mecha have … "
On the podium, an elderly professor was talking incessantly. His students listened with relish.
Zhou Qianlin, however, was not amongst them. She stared out the window in a daze, her beautiful blue eyes reflecting the leaves and branches of the towering trees outside.
"Qian Lin!" Zhou Qianlin was startled out of her daze by a gentle touch. She looked to her side.
Tang Mi looked back at her, puzzled. "What's wrong with you?
This is Professor Roger's class, you have to pay credits to attend.
I don't even know how long it took for me to come and listen to him.
And here you are, slipping away at a time like this. "
Zhou Qianlin shot her a look. "I'm a good student, I have a lot of credits. Capricious!"
"Pfft!
I don't get you.
It's like you've fallen out of love. "Tang Mi snorted and continued to focus on the class.
Professor Roger's eyes swept over the audience, and Qianlin quickly focused her attention. She smiled sweetly at the professor, who was standing on the podium.
Professor Roger obviously had a deep impression of her. He also smiled and nodded to her gently.
Professor Roger was an expert in the field of mecha and space application.
He had a unique talent in this field, and he also had a level-seven spatial genetic talent.
He was only a guest professor at the National Eastern University.
He would only come once a month.
Only students in the national scholar class of all departments could pay credits to attend the class.
After packing up her things, Zhou Qianlin and Tang Mi walked out of the classroom together.
Beautiful women would always attract the attention of the surrounding people like a magnet. Although most people were afraid of Tang Mi's fierceness and only dared to sneak a peek.
"Qianlin, I heard that our class is going to transfer a transfer student," Tang Mi said in a low voice.
"Oh." Zhou Qianlin answered perfunctorily.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Tang Mi said angrily.
Zhou Qianlin smiled and said, "What are you doing?
What does a transfer student have to do with me?
Don't tell me you like him? "
Tang Mi said mysteriously, "This transfer student has nothing to do with me, but he's infatuated with someone.
He deliberately transferred from the Western League. Don't you think it's far?
Moreover, I heard that he used the connections of our Eastern Alliance's chief to successfully enter the school.
Because of this, the Western League specially transferred two professors here to temporarily serve as guest professors. "
Zhou Qianlin's expression finally changed. "You mean …"
Tang Mi shrugged. "Your engaged fiancé, of course."
Zhou Qianlin stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How is that possible?
What happened last time was already a scandal in all three Major Leagues. Does the Austin family not care? "
Tang Mi said, "How would I know about politics?
But I do know that Silva Austin only has one son.
It's not like you don't know his personality.
Clingy and affectionate.
I don't think even Prime Minister Austin would dare lose his only son. He's the only direct heir of the family.
So, it's not like some things can't be compromised. "
Zhou Qianlin's eyes flickered. She bit her lip. "When will he arrive?"
Tang Mi looked at her, puzzled. "What's wrong with you?
Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with this Li Cha, is there?
Young, rich, and his mecha skills aren't bad. I think he's a little better than me.
His Discipline isn't bad either.
He has the Austin family behind him. Do you look down on him that much?
Then why did you suddenly agree to marry him?
Now you're avoiding him like a snake.
I really don't understand you. "
"You don't understand!" Zhou Qianlin said.
"It doesn't matter if I understand or not. I just know that someone is going to be in trouble."
…
Skyfire Avenue.
A tall, slender figure appeared on the other side of Skyfire Avenue. He was clad in a black suit and shirt, and had short black hair. His pace wasn't quick, but the distance between each step was as if he'd measured it with a ruler.
It wasn't long before he reached the entrance to Skyfire Avenue.
"My apologies. Skyfire Avenue is up ahead.
Please show your badge before you enter. "One of the Skyfire Avenue guards raised a hand to block the black-clad man's path.
The man stopped, his voice calm. "I'm looking for someone.
I don't have a badge.
What do I do? "
Who knew how many of these people they encountered every day. The guard said matter-of-factly, "To obtain a badge, you need to come in the day, submit an application, and pass a number of tests.
Without a badge, you can't enter. "
"Is there no shortcut?" the man asked.
The guard shook his head. "None."
"Alright," the man said. "I'll call him out."
The guard smiled. "That's possible. You can ask your friend to come out. If his badge is high enough, he might be able to take you in."
The black-clothed man nodded and replied, "En."
"Lan Jue!" He suddenly raised his head, calling out softly in the direction of Skyfire Avenue.
The guard felt his vision darken for a moment, but then everything returned to normal. But then, to his horror, he heard countless echoes of "Lan Jue" reverberating throughout Skyfire Avenue.
At first the voice wasn't very loud. He could just barely hear it. But then it began to hum, growing louder as it reverberated.
The voice was low and dignified. Soon, it filled every corner of Skyfire Avenue.
Skyfire Avenue's many shopkeepers lifted their heads in unison, their ears pricking up to listen.
But most of them had a change of expression.
"You!" If the guard still didn't feel something was wrong, he didn't deserve to be standing here.
In a flash, he was already pouncing on the man in black. Several figures quickly appeared around him.
The black-clothed man stood in place, not moving an inch. Just as these figures were about to pounce on him, the air suddenly seemed to change. With the black-clothed man as the center, a strong gust of air blew up, instantly sweeping up these guards and sending them flying far away.
But strangely, each of them was standing on the ground, unharmed.
The violent airflow also disappeared the moment they landed.
The man in black's eyes were calm. He still looked in the direction of Skyfire Avenue, waiting quietly. Apart from that, he didn't make any other moves.
The guards on Skyfire Avenue looked solemn, but they didn't make any more moves. They just surrounded the man in the center.
They knew the difference between them and the man in black. Under such circumstances, continuing to make a move would only result in death. Since the man in black didn't make any follow-up moves, it was better to wait and see.
After all, there was a huge gap between the guards on the surface and the enforcers on the other side of Skyfire Avenue.
Not long after, a silver figure leaped like a meteor from the depths of Skyfire Avenue, flying towards them.
The man in black raised his head. His eyes were still calm and cold.
