Chapter 851 - 520: With Me, All Is Well
"It’s all Old Li’s fault for being such a big mouth, saying everything."
"But, well... thanks."
He smiled and acknowledged Chen Feng’s congratulations, while Chairman Li Yun pretended not to hear the disrespectful remark.
The two took this opportunity for a brief chat.
Prior to this, they had fought side by side twice, once in Suo Jia City and once in the Nanjiang Black Tide, so they had become acquainted.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and Chen Feng took the opportunity to ask out of curiosity.
"I’ve heard that after the second phase, the Legendary Consciousness gains an Immortal trait."
"If I’m not mistaken, you should have more than this one body, right?"
The Star Spirit had previously explained that in the second phase, the Legendary Transformed People possess multiple reserve bodies.
Relying on this, they can project their consciousness over long distances and space to master various places.
And this journey to the Federation is full of uncertainties; he doubted the other party would leave it to chance.
At that moment, he gave Chen Feng a deep look.
Wang Cheng remained silent for a moment, yet didn’t question how he knew.
"Correct."
Nor did he deny it, setting aside his iced cola cup.
"Indeed, this body is just one of them."
"But rest assured, I won’t abandon you and become a deserter."
Wang Cheng spoke with a serious face, making a promise, clearly misunderstanding the intention.
Without much explanation, Chen Feng sensed the other’s sincerity, nodded gently, ending the topic.
"Then, may our journey be smooth."
He spoke in a low voice, and Wang Cheng nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere in the cabin returned to silence, occasionally disrupted by members of the envoy flipping through documents and discussing strategies.
Thus, the group left the border of Chi Country, and shortly thereafter Wang Cheng put on headphones, took a tablet from his assistant, and entered gaming mode.
"This guy really is big-hearted."
The Star Spirit commented in Chen Feng’s mind, clicking its tongue in wonder.
To this, Chen Feng shook his head.
Everyone has their own way of adjusting their emotions; he didn’t find it strange at all.
In comparison...
Gently closing his eyes, he reconnected the Spiritual Link.
He saw the Soul Fire of Jia Ta and other Merfolk, as well as the boundless deep blue sea.
He had no idea how the search progress of the Wind Raider was going.
.....
Whoosh!!
The waves on the shore slapped against the rocks, the mist they sent flying rapidly evaporating in the sunlight.
It seemed as though some colossal creature had appeared in the deep sea, causing white seagulls about to dive for fish to be startled and fly away.
From afar, watching this scene, the military ships docked at the coastal port remained unmoved.
Within the deeper parts of the city, numerous figures were unaware, all continuing their comings and goings as usual, but when passing by a certain villa within a manor, they would reveal different expressions, mostly admiration and envy.
"Miss, the envoy from Chi Country is arriving."
A serious voice echoed, leading the Lute family members within the manor to withdraw their gaze from the window.
The admiration and awe of these Federation citizens had long before become as trivial as dust in her eyes, impossible to pique her interest in the least.
Compared to this, the arrival from Chi Country...
"When will they arrive?"
Turning to the speaking loyal security, Oona’s aloof disdain faded by two degrees, replaced by a hint of seriousness.
"Around ten o’clock is expected."
"The Foreign Affairs Bureau has already dispatched personnel to the designated location, preparing to welcome them at the port’s border defense..."
The loyal white security guard quickly detailed the briefing, causing Oona to squint her eyes slightly at hearing this, lastly glancing towards a silent middle-aged man beside her.
"Uncle Long Jia, what do you think..."
"Their purpose this trip is to take away Han Mingchuan; we only need to handle this matter."
"You have some contradictions with that Martial Artist, so it’s not appropriate to show up too often."
The man named Long Jia, a Legendary Mechanical Martial, spoke seriously, his brown eyes bright like amber.
Oona understood the implication and reason told her to avoid directly getting involved in this bipolar conflict where one might be seized by hands and feet.
However.
Thinking of that Martial Artist, she felt a bit unwilling.
"He killed so many of our Lute family."
"Should we just let him go like this?"
The deaths of Ammon and Milan had long reached them through other sources, combined with their insight into the Nido upheaval confirming traces related to him.
This is the disgrace of the Lute family.
Even if she gained from it, securing her place in the succession sequence, it couldn’t erase the anger of having once been overlooked.
"No, of course, we can’t let him off too easily."
Suddenly shaking his head, Long Jia said in a lowered voice.
"Lord Vilatu’s original consciousness has yet to fully repair, and he certainly won’t forget this vengeance."
"Moreover, as the family’s foundation, naturally no one can stop his decision."
With his words, Oona’s gaze sharpened.
The furrowed brow relaxed, a sense of vindication flowing through her heart.
More so, her thoughts scattered, leading her to a crucial point.
The detachment of the Nido Royal Family from control enraged the Federation Council, especially since the assassination attempts by the Investigation Bureau and the Military had failed, causing endless controversy.
That Martial Artist likes to meddle so much, then perhaps...
"Heh heh."
Revealing a cold smile, Oona again looked out the window.
The high clouds formed shapes, as the Federation Military’s aircraft carrier slowly moved from the sea level.
The port remained bustling as always, stacks of freight containers highlighted the splendor of the largest city in the south.
And in that moment, no one could know.
A black crow descended from the sky, alighting at the top of a high-rise.
The enormous clock’s second hand rotated, the scarlet vertical pupil reflecting the world, all things in it dyed a shade of red.
...
Buzz!!
The red maple leaf’s flying device began to lower its altitude amidst the rolling clouds.
The deep sea images from the Spiritual Link were cut off by Chen Feng, while Jia Ta and the Merfolk continued their search for the World Ark deep within the Platinum Federation’s coastal waters.
