Wang Zheng shrugged. "Must there be a reason? I don't know either. Maybe it's fate. I think we're more suited to be friends than enemies. Of course, the final choice is in your hands."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?" Heaven asked.
Wang Zheng laughed. "If you were that kind of person, I don't think I would be the one alive right now. I think we can be comrades."
Heaven closed his eyes and did not speak. Wang Zheng's words hit Heaven's weak spot. He was not suited for the lonely atmosphere of the underworld. When he saw Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, he thought of himself. That was why he refused to leave. If he could live like that …
Boom …
The blanket exploded in Lear's hands.
It was not easy for the Earth Grade killer to escape. The organization had proven their strength. They gave Heaven two choices. Either die, or complete the mission.
But who would have thought that the idiot Heaven would be killed by Wang Zheng.
Four days.
Lear could easily guess what method Wang Zheng had used. The stupid one was Heaven. D * mn, he was an assassin, not a knight. Yet he had gone for a one-on-one fight, and had even run into the forest. Wasn't that asking for death?
Lear had seen Wang Zheng's combat ability and tenacity in the wild. His endurance was more vicious than the most venomous cobra. Without any worries, Wang Zheng could tire his opponent to death.
To deal with Wang Zheng, one had to play dirty. The more dirty the better. But he could not. He was Lear, the future king. He needed a glorious image. His subordinates were a bunch of idiots. None of them were useful.
But now he had to stop. There were rules in every world, and it was the same for the underworld. But to be able to force an Earth Grade killer like a stray dog, the other party had shown his strength. He could not underestimate him. It seemed like he had to make good use of the resources and power in his hands.
Perhaps, he could use Wang Zheng as his touchstone and slowly train him.
Thinking about what he had in his hands, Lear smiled. To be honest, when the old man gave him this power, he did not care much. But now it seemed like he had underestimated them.
Somewhere in the Milky Way, a person who had not been seen for a long time was deep in thought. The Old Merchant was standing at the critical juncture of this change. The more he understood about the Saint Church, the more fearful he became. However, this understanding only touched on the surface of the Saint Church. The true core was probably a hundred times more than what he had seen.
Old Merchant was put in an important position. The Saint Church was not only interested in his research abilities, but also in his connections and financial capabilities. More resources and authority were opened to him, allowing him to see more inside stories. The truth of what happened hundreds of years ago, the truth of the relationship between the major families and the Saint Church that was currently very active in the galaxy.
In the beginning, he had thought that he could pave the way for Wang Zheng, and even bring Wang Zheng into the Saint Church. But now he realized that this organization had existed for hundreds of years, and was a terrifying existence hidden beneath the Milky Way Alliance. It was a beast that could not be controlled. Not only did it have complicated relationships with the various empires, but it also had connections with commercial organizations like the Commerce Alliance and the Trade Alliance.
However, their inheritance was very strange. It was as if they were looking for an heir. Logically speaking, in such an era of technology, such mysterious and even superstitious things should not exist. However, the Saint Church had been pushing for it.
Their core strength was their martial arts. As their martial arts became stronger, the power of the Saint Church was also recovering. They were probably no longer willing to lie dormant. This made the Old Merchant a little worried. The Rubik's Cube was probably even more of a taboo. Everything inside was definitely a shock to the Saint Church. If not, the Old Merchant would have introduced Wang Zheng long ago. Now, he hoped that Wang Zheng would never get involved in the struggles inside, and have a simple and happy life. However, he could no longer leave.
Returning to Earth, the Old Merchant felt a faint sense of nostalgia. He vaguely felt like home. It was a pity that Wang Zheng did not return to Earth even though he had a rare vacation.
This was good. It was not a bad thing to avoid the eyes of certain people. After all, people like him who had too much knowledge would also be monitored.
Arriving at the greatly changed bookstore, the Old Merchant quietly stayed for a while before leaving. After all, he had lived here for so many years. This time, he did not come back just for a vacation. He had matters to attend to from the Saint Church, and also his own needs.
Ding!
The doorbell rang. "Come in."
A black shadow floated in lightly. Without saying a word, he delivered a piece of paper to the Old Merchant's desk. Then, like a ghost, he quietly disappeared behind the door.
Every time the Old Merchant saw him, he would feel a faint chill in the depths of his heart. The people that the Saint Church had sent to his side were only on the surface. Perhaps there were hidden spies in the dark.
However, all of this did not matter. His current actions were in line with the interests of the Saint Church. Moreover, his ability was indeed irreplaceable. After all, a genius like him was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
At this moment, he looked at the paper document on the table. It was a special kind of paper with the insignia of the Saint Church printed on it. This was a custom passed down, representing antiquity and nobility.
Picking up the document, he saw the names of 12 people. The handwritten words indicated the importance of these 12 people.
Below, there was a printed explanation.
The meaning was simple. The Old Merchant was to pay attention to and make preliminary contact with these 12 people and the 12 ancient families behind them. Moreover, he was to secretly support a few of the weaker people in the families to forcefully ascend to power.
At the same time, the Old Merchant's Skylink vibrated.
The Old Merchant smiled slightly and picked up the Skylink. "Elder He, why are you calling me on Skylink?"
On the other side of the Skylink was an old man with white hair and beard. "Haha, I'm just here to remind you that the name list you've just obtained is extremely important to our follow-up plans. Perhaps the Saint is one of them. Everything else can be put aside for now. Let's focus on this matter first."
The Old Merchant was stunned. The Son of Saint!
In the Saint Church, he had heard many stories about the Son of Saint. He had always treated it as a legend.
"There is a person on the name list whose family is on Earth. His name is Lear Chronos. He has been selected."
Switching off the Skylink, the Old Merchant had no say in this matter. He had to pay attention to this matter. The representative of Earth, Lear Chronos. As the origin of the Saint Church, Earth had always had a great influence. This was the complete opposite of the Milky Way Alliance's influence.
The holidays were always short. The second semester had begun, and everyone had begun to return to Elite Academy X. Wang Zheng, on the other hand, headed directly from Tita Star to Roland Garros. Before he left, he had to be scolded by Rara Durai and the rest. Even though Wang Zheng had a lot of energy, compared to the giants, he was really a small bay. In the end, he was completely carried back. He had never been so defeated even when facing an Earth-rank expert.
The Titan First Personal Guard was established. There were a total of 500 giants, all of whom could comprehend martial arts. Of course, their standards were very low, but this was not important. They could slowly practice. During his time on Tita Star, Wang Zheng had been training them, tormenting them to death. However, even the Titan had set an example, so there was nothing more to say about them.
Lie Xin and Achilles returned to Mars and the Moon respectively after discussing the cooperation matters. They would meet directly at the Academy. They also knew that the real battle would only begin in the second semester, and the competition would become even more intense.
