484 “Uh yes, the traitor.”
“Excuse .... excuse ... out of my way,” were the loud shouts of a woman running through the passageways of the Cetus warship.
“Hey,”
“Watch it,”
Were the sounds of people yelling after her as she rcilessly pushed through the crowds.
She had tried several tis to contact the forr Marshal but each ti the communication failed.
Left with no choice she rushed over to the captain’s cabin. Without any consideration, she banged on the door several tis.
“Sir, sir,” called out Li Ran’s mother, and half a minute later the door slid open.
Yi Zhen who hadn’t rested well for days and had finally laid his head down was sitting at the edge of the bed with a dissatisfied look on his face.
“What is it?” he asked while rubbing his forehead.
.....
“It’s the Han warship... it retreated. They, they retracted all their weapons and they look like they are preparing for warp speed,” she explained unable to make sense of it all.
For five days straight they had been in a freaking standoff with the Han warship. That’s because the pri ministers bluntly accused the Bloodgarde of the Marshal’s disappearance.
After that, all hell broke loose. As though history was repeating itself they were finally determined to bring the Bloodgarde down. Because the pri ministers had ill intentions they leaked out the information that Yi Chen was missing and rumours that it had sothing to do with the Bloodgarde were spread like wildfire.
Cities burnt to the ground as waves of protests swept through the major cities in the Federation. The forr Marshal was yet again put in the sa position. A position he didn’t want to be in.
Zi Xingxi wasn’t shy about it at all. She was ready to burn everything to the ground. Her husband’s family built everything they had and they designed him with no scruples. Since they were ungrateful she was ready to tear faces and ruin them.
Yi Zhen didn’t want things to reach such an extent thus he went in between them. That is after Zi Xingxi’s n bombed several of the mansions belonging to the pri ministers. Zi
Feiji didn’t stand by either. He was still bankrupting so of their businesses and leaving them all penniless. Their secrets and shady deals were exposed for all to see.
After that Cetus and Han went head to head or in other words it was Cetus blocking Han from reaching Capital Star.
After days of this standoff with their guns drawn Han just gave up just like that and left. Sothing had to be wrong. They had to be up to sothing.
“Shit,” he swore as he got up to grab his light brain. He frantically dialled Zi Feiji but five rings later there was no answer.
anwhile, Zi Xingxi who was sitting on the captain’s chair giving out commands saw her father turning down a video call and asked, “Who is it?”
“Who else could it be?” replied Zi Feiji apparently not in the mood to deal with him.
“He probably wants to know where we are going,” he continued to say.
“Then I will enjoy cussing him out,” said Zi Xingxi.
“Then here. Please be my guest,” he said tossing the light brain to her.
With an electronic click, the video call was accepted and Zi Xingxi put on a sly smile like a fox taunting others for no reason.
“Uh yes, the traitor. What can I do for you? Bear in mind. I am a very busy woman.”
“Woman, I am not a traitor. I am trying to stop you from burning all bridges. I don’t want your son to return to a burning world,” replied Marshal Yi wondering why he couldn’t speak to Zi Feiji, he was the most sensible one in this situation.
“Blah blah blah. Since when have you cared about my son? You are just looking out for your so called family legacy. Now, if you have nothing else I will go now,” she said her finger reaching over to end the call.
“Wait wait where are you going?” he asked but even he knew she would never reveal that answer.
As expected she looked at him as though looking at an idiot before saying, “And why would I tell you that. Go do your own howork Yi Zhen and fuck off,” flicking him off with her middle finger.
Zi Feiji, “...”
His fist propping his cheek he asked, “Is this going to be a thing now?”
“What do you an is this going to be a thing? I have always been like this just not in front of you,” she said and Zi Feiji shook his head. The video call that had just ended rang again but no one answered.
“We are going dark,” she said and Lynn Feng answered,
“Yes ma’am,” before pressing a few commands.
The warship that was hovering in their proximity suddenly disappeared leaving behind a confused Cetus.
The forr Marshal sat there like the thinker statue repeating her words. He looked up at Li Ran’s mother and said,
“What does she an by howork... I don’t get it.”
Li Ran’s mom shook her head unable to comprehend the aning as well.
anwhile, Zi Xingxi glanced at her father and asked, “Do you really think they ca back?”
Zi Feiji looked at her like he also didn’t have the answer. They had recorded a surge in energy similar to the one detected when Zi Han perford a space jump so it had to be him, right?
“We can only wait and see,” he replied and Zi Xingxi nodded her head as she exhaled lightly to calm her nerves.
It didn’t take long for them to reach Loch Ness star. Like they had done dozens of tis before they sneaked onto the planet but when they reached the snowy mountains everything was in chaos.
The military officers protecting the mountains found themselves in a terrible situation. They had to find a way to kill this beast that had shown up out of thin air and began to attack the mountains.
Lucky for them it hadn’t struck the focal points which were the most volatile otherwise this world would have co to an end in an even more devastating way than when the old earth was destroyed.
“Hurry up... tell headquarters,” yelled the commander in charge.
“Yes sir,” yelled a short girl as she sent out a distress signal. Just when the ssage was sent through sothing unexpected happened.
