"Welcome back, Wang Tong!" Li Shiming stepped forward and extended his hand.
The two of them held each other's hands, feeling quite strong. "Brother Li, let's work together!"
Li Shi Min was completely convinced by the atmosphere between the two of them. Like Lie Jian, he had once had a chance to fight for the throne. However, if he did that, the humans would be the ones to suffer. After all, they had to consider the bigger picture. Fighting like cornered beasts would only bring shame to themselves.
"Bro, why are you being so formal? Men like to put on a show."
Li Ruoer's sudden words made the two men not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I really need someone to take care of my sister." Li Shiming did not hide anything. Bolton had been very devoted to Li Ruoer all these years, but Li Ruoer was not interested in him. Eventually, Bolton pestered Li Ruoer to the point where she said that Bolton would only talk about it if he could defeat her. That was how Li Shiming cut off Bolton's thoughts. Even if Bolton trained hard for a hundred years, it would be useless.
Since the situation was not looking good, Li Shiming didn't want to fall out with Li Ruo-Er over such a trivial matter. After all, a politician had to look at the bigger picture.
As long as Wang Tong could maintain his influence, no one would dare to say anything against him.
This was probably the first time that Li Ruo-Er, Ma Xiaoru, and Sisi had been together for the past six years. Li Ruo-Er and Ma Xiaoru were already very familiar with each other, and Sisi and Li Ruo-Er had also interacted quite a bit. Now that they thought about it, it was the most exciting experience they had in university, and they had all grown into outstanding generals.
Li Ruo-Er had heard about what happened to Zhou Sisi. Everyone had heard about Wang Tong taking Zhou Sisi away in front of everyone, and Wang Tong's reputation as a playboy had also spread far and wide.
Initially, they were talking about Zhou Sisi, but somehow, the topic had shifted to Wang Tong.
"Ma Xiaoru, I think we need to be extra vigilant. Martian women are very straightforward and hot. Wang Tong is a good guy, but he's not a strong woman. If we're not careful, we might get into trouble."
Li Ruo-Er knew Ma Xiaoru too well. Based on their relationship, Ma Xiaoru wouldn't tolerate Zhou Sisi, and Li Ruo-Er knew Wang Tong's personality too well. However, judging from their expressions, Li Ruo-Er could tell that Wang Tong would never be able to get rid of her if Zhou Sisi was involved. Li Ruo-Er remembered that she had been waiting for this lecher for six years, and she couldn't just let him go.
Zhou Sisi was not in a position to reject Li Ruo-Er. She was well aware of the grudge between Li Ruo-Er and Wang Tong, and the reason why Li Ruo-Er was so passionate towards Wang Tong was because she liked Li Ruo-Er. Now that she had gotten what she wanted, she couldn't possibly reject Li Ruo-Er. Of course, it was up to Ma Xiaoru, and if Ma Xiaoru were to say no, Wang Tong wouldn't dare to do it.
"Ruo-Er is right. He has been spending a lot of energy on Mars. The High Medic, Princess Katie, and the Beautiful Arcane Squad are all having a lot of fun. The three of us have to keep an eye on him."
Ma Xiaoru smiled. She didn't mind it at all. If it were six years ago, she wouldn't be able to get over it. However, she had learned a lot from the things that had happened in the past six years. Nevertheless, even if she agreed, Wang Tong might not accept Li Ruo-Er.
Wang Tong was willing to accept Zhou Sisi because of her years of sacrifice. Ever since they met, Zhou Sisi might have given more than Ma Xiaoru did. Although it was hard for a woman to fall in love with a man because of her sacrifice, a man could fall in love with a woman because of his sacrifice.
Ma Xiaoru would be touched by Zhou Sisi's efforts if she were a man. However, even so, Wang Tong didn't dare to mention it to her.
Ruo-Er was one of Ma Xiaoru's few friends. Over the past six years, Ruo-Er had been surrounded by many suitors. Many outstanding officers of the Confederation Army had set their sights on her. However, Ruo-Er had been very persistent. Ma Xiaoru didn't want to be the only one who could be happy, and she didn't want to distract Wang Tong because of something like this.
The war was imminent, and everything was uncertain. Being able to reunite with Wang Tong today was already the happiest day in her life, and she wouldn't ruin it.
Ma Xiaoru's words had made her stance clear. Ruo-Er and Zhou Sisi were smart enough to understand what was going on. All that was left was for them to make Wang Tong fall in love with them.
When the three of them turned to look at Wang Tong, Wang Tong felt a chill run down his spine.
"Brilliant. Brother Wang, you have made the best choice." Li Shiming nodded as he listened to Wang Tong's brief introduction of the Mars plan.
If he were in Wang Tong's shoes, he would have done the same. It was the only feasible option, and it would have the most impact on the overall situation.
Frankly speaking, if Wang Liqiang could do this much, he really had nothing to fight for. He couldn't do any better.
"Brother Li Shiming would have done the same."
"Lie Jian must be very unhappy, but you are the only one who can do it. There is no one else in this world who can do it."
Li Shiming said. He was not being arrogant. If it were him or Lie Jian, it would be hard for them to submit to each other. However, Wang Tong was their only choice. They might be willing to submit to Wang Tong, but not to each other.
In a sense, Wang Tong was on the side of the House of Li. After all, he was the heir of the Blade Warrior, and he knew about Li Feng and the Blade Warrior's situation. Wang Tong was determined to protect the honor of the House of Li.
"Hehe, Brother Li, you know me. I'm a simple person. I'm not interested in politics or anything like that. My only goal is to restore peace and live a comfortable life. Of course, it's best if I don't lack money."
Wang Tong cracked a smile. He knew that Li Shiming, Lie Jian, and Li Shiming were not the same kind of people. They were always busy with scheming and plotting against each other.
Li Shiming paused for a second, but he knew what Wang Tong was trying to say. He put on a wry smile and said, "Alright, I have nothing else to say. To be honest, I am jealous and envious of you."
Li Shiming trusted Wang Tong's sincerity, and he finally understood why Wang Tong was the heir of the Blade Warrior instead of him.
Li Shiming was an ambitious man, and he would never put the interests of the entire human race before himself. However, Wang Tong's goal was simple, and that was to restore peace and order to the human race.
"Why should I be jealous?"
"Hehe, don't take it for granted. However, this feeling is not something that ordinary people can enjoy," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Sometimes, Zhang Jin wasn't sure if it was the times that shaped people, or if people were already shaped by the times. What was originally a complicated situation suddenly became simple.
Perhaps a complicated person would make a complicated situation more complicated, and a simple person could simplify things.
If it weren't for the chaos of the world, Wang Tong wouldn't be in his current situation. Suddenly, Zhang Jin understood everything.
During the peaceful times, Li Shiming and Lie Jian would be the most powerful princes among the four princes. They were powerful, smart, and passionate about politics. Odin did not pursue perfection. Patroclus, on the other hand, was smart and powerful, even more so than Li Shiming and Lie Jian. However, Patroclus did not care about perfection. Once a person reached a certain level of perfection, even if the Zerg did not appear, he would still create problems to achieve his goals.
The Zerg had provided Patroclus with the perfect opportunity. Patroclus was brave enough to give up everything he had and start all over again.
How strong was he? How confident was he?
Wang Tong had always been a simple person, and he was not a greedy person. He wouldn't have been able to reach his current level during the peaceful times, and he wouldn't have been able to do what he did when the humans had the upper hand in the war.
In other words, Patroclus was the reason why Wang Tong had become what he was today.
Wang Tong was the reason why Patroclus was the one who had become the most powerful man in the world.
Therefore, humans would never lack heroes, and some of them would rise to the occasion.
Everyone talked about Noah's Ark, and Li Shiming agreed. "If there's any need, the Federation Army will definitely cooperate fully. However, all these years, Noah's Ark seems to have disappeared. It is indeed possible that it exists in the subspace, but we are facing a very direct problem. If it exists in the subspace, there must be a key, and there is no doubt that the key is in Patroclus's hands."
Li Shiming pointed out the key. If the key could only be obtained by defeating Patroclus, then it would be worthless.
"It's impossible to store a huge space like Noah's Ark without leaving a trace. I've thoroughly investigated all of Patroclus's actions over the years, and I'm already doing the final statistics to infer the general location of the space."
"The exit of the subspace must be a bunker. It could be a Space City, or some other kind of building. Are you saying that we should find a way to penetrate the subspace without using the key?"
Li Shiming rubbed his chin and said, "If we can do it, we will destroy the communication between the Zergs and the Immortals at all costs. That way, our enemies will be divided, and that would be the best way to win the war."
"As long as I can do this, I will directly declare war on Patroclus. However, we don't have much time. Patroclus is still rational at the moment. If the battle continues to go against him, he will expand the Protoss' territory and launch an all-out war. I can only challenge him in advance."
Wang Tong said.
