Tempest of the Stellar War

It was not the first time that Huiyin had asked Angela over the Skylink.

As for Lin Huiyin’s questions, Angela was stressed to the point of heart attack. Highness, please rest assured… sometimes, she really hoped that Wang Zheng would disappear over some matter. The matters on Gemini Star was definitely immediately picked up by Aslan intelligence. This guy was really a trouble magnet. Wherever he went, something bad would happen. That research program was one that Aslan paid close attention to, but there was no news on the black market. If it could be bought, Aslan would spare no expense.

At that moment, Wang Zheng was discussing the Tita Star situation with Luo Er and soliciting her view. It was highly likely that it was also the Milky Way Alliance Council’s point of view. Luo Er was also very happy-faced with Wang Zheng’s questions. This was, after all, her area of interest, and some of the information was what Wang Zheng wanted. On the whole, things were bleaker than he had imagined. This was a classic case of a power struggle between the big countries. The big countries would not directly reveal themselves, but work through proxy nations through a profit dispute. Once it started, they would have an excuse to send troops. No matter how it turned out, the dispute would not end peacefully, and this would be their benefit.

Council settlement?

This still concerned profit. Without more tangible evidence that could suppress them, they had to act fairly.

This was also the international relations’ ideology of balance, which the Council must control. The strong countries must honor their commitment, and the Council would allow them to fight it out within the rules of the game. If they forcefully dealt with the matter, it might start a larger scale war, even mutual destruction.

Wang Zheng was nodding non-stop as he processed the information. Luo Er was happy explaining as well. Very few boys were willing to listen to such things. Especially those like Wang Zheng. And she could feel that he was genuinely learning from her.

Suddenly, Wang Zheng felt a chill on his neck. Murderous intent!

He looked back, and lo and behold, it was a pouting Lin Huiyin.

Something in his brain must have snapped. No wonder he had felt that something had been missing since his return. In these two days, Lin Huiyin had been patiently waiting.

The little princess must be furious!

Luo Er blinked. This Wang Zheng was full of surprises. Among the Aslan princesses, did he like the older one or the younger one?

“Brother Wang Zheng, I thought you weren’t coming back!”

“Keke, Huiyin, my bad. There were pressing reasons. I’ll catch you up in a bit. This is Luo Er. Luo Er, this is.”

“The princess of Aslan, whose reputation precedes her. How would I not know?” Luo Er smiled. In terms of looks, Luo Er was a bit more loli – after all, this was the trademark of Gemini Star people. But in terms of manner, Huiyin was hands down the most loli character.

“Sister Luo Er likes to tease, as always. How do you know Brother Wang Zheng?”

Wang Zheng realized that they must have known each other before. Princess of Aslan, Council president’s daughter, they walked in the same upper echelon, and there was no way that they did not know each other. They had kept this relation a secret.

“We just know each other.” Luo Er was no normal person. She was intending to play this close-lipped, and to also tease Lin Huiyin a little.

But Lin Huiyin was no fool. She smiled. “Find me at night. I have something on!”

Wang Zheng nodded, and ruffled her hair. “Got it.”

After feeling Wang Zheng’s touch, Huiyin happily went back to eat with her classmates. Among the people that Wang Zheng knew, Huiyin was the most easily pacified.

But there was something. He felt that Aslan and the Milky Way Alliance Council’s relations were normal. Just as expected. At the level of Aslan and Arbiter, if they could not control the Milky Way Alliance, then it would be just an obstacle.

Although Luo Er was smaller, but she was clearly calmer than little Huiyin. Of course, this was Huiyin. If they had met Aina, it would have been a completely different matter entirely.

Just as Lin Huiyin and her classmates left the cafeteria, Luo Er suddenly laughed. “Wang Zheng, looks like the little princess of Aslan has good feelings towards you. Looks like the rumors are true?”

Luo Er asked curiously. Wang Zheng answered exasperatedly. “Where did all this come from? I see Huiyin as just a little kid.”

“Eh, but she’s growing up just fine.” Luo Er said mischievously. “Seems like… you’re really not interested. Strange. Wang Zheng, what exactly is your type?”

Luo Er propped her chin and measured Wang Zheng, making him feel embarrassed. This… was not the main point. Girls really were champions at changing the topic.

Wang Zheng smiled, and continued their previous topic. He had no intention to learn more on this one.

“Do you feel that Tita Star’s predicament has a solution?” This was the main point that Wang Zheng wanted to know. Perhaps Luo Er could see a way from her position.

Luo Er blinked. She was curious as to why Wang Zheng had such unusual concern towards Titatitan Star. “Wang Zheng, do you have friends trapped on Titatitan Star?”

It was very clear that Wang Zheng had come to find her not just to build friendships. He had come expressly for her expertise and opinions on the Titatitan Star dispute. This left Luo Er a little disappointed. It had to be said that this unusual boy really attracted her. His age was about the same as hers, but he had an uncommon maturity and dependability. Gemini Star girls liked this type, especially those of her family.

Wang Zheng nodded. “Keke, me and my two lackeys have practically invested our houses into Titatitan Star. That aside, I have many good friends there. It’s like a second home.”

Luo Er nodded. “Understood. I’ll see what else I can find out. But I advise you to tell your friend to pull out as quickly as possible. The faster they leave, the less they lose. At present, such cases have no good solution. In the best case, both sides will still suffer.

The way Luo Er saw it, Wang Zheng and his friends must be running some amateur small-scale operation.

The last time they returned to Titatitan Star, Ye Zisu had already told Wang Zheng about what Mu Sen had sworn her to secrecy about. In the beginning, when the shares of the super-gravity ore stock were being divided up, Mu Sen had put 30% permanently to his name. As long as the Tita people were still in power, Wang Zheng was actually the biggest beneficiary. To this, Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had already received much from the Tita people. Friendship, help, and trust. He had no intention of exercising this privilege. In truth, this was more responsibility than future benefit.

Luo Er said that she would try her best to get this matter raised. From a political standpoint, she was on Tita Star’s side, because the Alliance wanted to strengthen their control, and curb the rising power of these empires. To do so, they had to handle this matter forcefully, but they had to find a way.

Wang Zheng also knew that this was not a problem which could immediately be solved. The moment he returned to his dormitory, he received Lin Huiyin’s message.

It had no voice, nor message. Just a blank message.

Wang Zheng chuckled. He knew the kitten’s claws would eventually be unsheathed.

“Are you sending people to watch me?” Wang Zheng laughed.

“Tch, you narcissist. I just sent it on a whim. I will now give you a chance to admit your mistake and make reparations!”

Wang Zheng was also affected by Huiyin’s cutesy attitude. It seemed like all his worries vanished whenever he was with her.

“Alright, I was wrong. I should have treated you to lunch today. How about this, I’ll pay the penalty, and owe you two meals!”

Real men did not dare to be true with girls.

On the other side, Huiyin was ecstatic. From the side, Annil could not believe it. Was this a penalty?

Whoever the princess acquiesced to eat with, that person should be so happy that they could not fall asleep!
