Laurel was making a difficult decision.
Yan Xiaosu's hopeless actions had caused her confidence to sink. But because of her agreement with Jasper, Laurel decided to be impulsive. Perhaps one could not be too rational in life.
From another perspective, Yan Xiaosu's offer of this opportunity was already good enough. She could not ask too much of others.
It was just that all along, her expectations of Yan Xiaosu had been too high. This was also the reason why Jasper had always held Yan Xiaosu in high esteem. After spending so much time together, it was impossible for there to be no feelings, no influence.
Margate Interstellar Airline's attack was getting tighter and tighter. The overall situation was getting worse. There was news that Margate was in contact with some of their suppliers. The situation was grim.
At this time, there were only two choices.
The first was simple and crude. Give up on Yan Xiaosu, and work with Margate Interstellar Airline instead. She was not completely unaware that someone in her family was in contact with Margate behind her back.
The second was to use her family's power to break the stalemate. The best breakthrough was still New Time Shipping. Her appearance and her family's appearance were completely different.
The first choice … had already been given up. Then there was only the second.
Her slender fingers swiped across the Skylink. A number zoomed in before her eyes. After a few tries, she finally pulled it out.
"Uncle, there's something …"
In Newcastle, Yan Xiaosu was also making a difficult decision.
The Skylink displayed Wang Zheng's number.
Call, message …
Yan Xiaosu was truly at his wit's end. In front of outsiders, he could still act tough to the end. But now that he was alone in the room, his pretense was off. At this point, Yan Xiaosu knew that he was at his wit's end. If he delayed any longer, something bad would happen. But he called Wang Zheng's Skylink, and it was silent. For the Skylink to be silent meant that something must have happened to Wang Zheng. Now that SIG was in progress, it was very likely that he was injured. If something more serious had happened, Zhang Shan and the rest would definitely inform him.
With a wave of his finger, Wang Zheng's number returned from the Skylink. Zisu could not do anything either. This was a real headache. But Yan Xiaosu was still calm. He had been through a lot, and had risked his life on Tita Star. He was gambling!
Laurel!
This woman truly had power. But in this entire matter, she had not exerted herself. Yan Xiaosu had to be calm. As long as he was calm, Laurel might act. Once he lost his composure, a shrewd woman like Laurel would definitely leave. She might even take Jasper with her. Even if Jasper did not leave, it would be of no real use to the entire project.
What he was doing was called Jiang Taigong holding his breath and holding on until the end.
Suddenly, his Skylink flashed. The name was Laurel. This person was really unbearable. Yan Xiaosu calmed his mind, thinking of a way to phrase it.
After a simple greeting, Laurel got straight to the point.
"Brother Yan, Margate is getting tighter and tighter. The Fairy Star Federation is the best place to break through. My uncle has a certain friendship with Governor Keelung. I want to ask him to help break the situation!"
Laurel tried to sound nicer. She believed that Yan Xiaosu knew what to do.
Of course, Yan Xiaosu knew that he had succeeded in his bet.
Laurel's uncle was indeed very powerful. The governor's office had already arranged a time to officially meet with the KO Tita Chamber of Commerce. This meant that there was already room for compromise. This was already a huge improvement.
Was Yan Xiaosu going to back down?
No. This was business. Even if Laurel had played her part, he still had to take control. Otherwise, everything that had happened before would have been for naught. Now Yan Xiaosu understood a saying. In the pugilistic world, one had no choice.
At SIG, all the warriors who had been injured in this battle received two pieces of good news. One was that the time of the main competition had not been brought forward. This gave them enough time to recover. Other than two warriors who were too heavily injured and could not fully recover, the others could all return to the team on time.
The second piece of good news was that Princess Aina was going to comfort and encourage the injured soldiers. Even though Her Royal Highness was only showing her face, everyone could feel Her Royal Highness' charm up close. Just a smile could make people feel relaxed and happy, and any pain would disappear. It was even more effective than painkillers.
Qiankun Zadeh was naturally one to visit. How to put it? Aina was troubled by Qiankun Zadeh's "desperation", but she could not refute his "protection". She had heard from Lin Feng that Wang Zheng had been merciful. This was indeed Wang Zheng's style!
Actually, he had not needed it at all. After all, it had been a battle of life and death. Qiankun Zadeh himself had died without regret. But Wang Zheng had spared his life then. If he was a shameless person, he would not care. But Aslan people, especially someone as proud as Qiankun Zadeh, wanted his face. This guilt made him unable to attack Wang Zheng.
Even if they met in the actual competition, because of this psychological disadvantage, the military officers' college would not be able to display their true strength. Such a psychological disadvantage could not be erased. At least at this age and with such experience, he could not do it.
Wang Zheng's side was bustling as well. Zhang Shan and the rest were definitely there. Wang Zheng's physical recovery had also amazed the Aslan doctors. Although they had used the fastest surgery and bone repair techniques, Wang Zheng had only stayed in the nutrition tank for three days before coming out. Of course, the key parts of his body had been strengthened, but there was no longer a need to stay in the tank. This speed was astounding.
News of Aina's arrival had already caused a stir. They were also waiting. Luckily, the brothers gave him some face, and did not tease him. In truth, they felt that these two really dared to go against the world. Wang Zheng was extremely daring, and this Princess Aina was also someone who wished for the world to be in chaos.
Finally, Aina had arrived. Her secretary general, Lacus, had blocked the others outside. They were all Aina's guards. Although the warriors of the various countries were also idolaters, they still had basic manners. Aina would be more courteous elsewhere, and etiquette was enough. But here, it was clearly different. Lacus also knew that, and so she created an opportunity for the Princess.
She was the Princess' secretary general, just like Angela to Lin Huiyin. She did not need to have her own thoughts, and could not make her own decisions. Her existence was to follow the Princess' train of thought, and to serve the Princess. For example, regarding Wang Zheng's matter, even if the whole world opposed it, she had to stand on the same line as the Princess. Even Kashawen could not pressure her. This was the law of the Aslan royal family.
Although there were many people around, the two of them were stunned the moment they saw each other. There were thousands of words in their hearts that they wanted to say, but at this moment, they only needed one look to understand.
The others were also silent. Outside, Lacus coughed dryly. Time. The Princess could stay for a while, but not too long. This was not a good time to agitate Lady Kashawen.
"Student Wang Zheng, congratulations. The Saruman Snake battle team has created another miracle." Speaking of which, Aina was also a student of Elite Academy X, so it was normal for her to call him student.
"Aiya, my stomach doesn't feel too good!" Zhang Shan suddenly shouted, and kept making eye signals.
"I told you not to eat so much. I'll go with you!" Achilles suddenly said. "You guys come along too."
Lie Xin was speechless. These stupid men, couldn't they just leave? Even women felt a little discouraged when they saw Aina. She was really impeccable. She looked gentle and pressured, but on the inside, she was strong and courageous. It was like she was another person.
Wang Zheng smiled. He just looked at Aina. Only he knew the real Aina.
When everyone had left, Wang Zheng opened his arms.
(I drank so much yesterday that I was groggy the whole day. I'll make up for it tomorrow. Sorry, I'm begging for a monthly ticket. It's been hard on you!)
