Chapter 492: Killing two birds with one arrow

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The birthday banquet ended with a weird atmosphere. Everyone at the banquet had remembered the “small fry” named Wang Zheng. Lan Jiang had also complicated things by strongly praising Wang Zheng, but he did not make their relationship clear. This had confused many people. However, the relationship between Wang Zheng and the people of Tita was very clear.

The one who was the most excited and surprised was the Red Fox. She had never dreamt that there was still hope in her becoming the squadron leader. Moreover, the two-faced Ison had surprisingly looked for her for a serious conversation.

The Red Fox had been the section leader for several years and clearly knew the importance of having good relationships with her superiors. Since the other party had taken the initiative and shown goodwill, naturally, the Red Fox would have to accept it. However, all this was because of that little brat, Wang Zheng.

The people of Tita were still going to remain in Lan Kao City for several days. On the other hand, Wang Zheng had to leave soon after the banquet ended. After all, he had official duties to attend to. Nonetheless, she had arranged with Lan Ling for a time to meet.

Lan Ling was very interested in both the project and Ye Zisu. The banquet had also consolidated the reputation of the Lan family, and this was very important, considering the current sensitive situation.

The Lan Kao City branch of the Blue Star Commerce Organization.

Zarberg was furious. Several key management members clearly had not expected the situation to have become like this so suddenly.

The Blue Star Commerce Organization had always been trying to achieve an agreement with the Lan family to develop and get rich together. As for those barbarians, they were only suitable to be slaves.

Moreover, Zarberg was very interested in Lan Ling. He did not mind using a political marriage to complete this huge business. After all, marriage and divorce were only pieces of paper. However, the situation had suddenly changed.

“What is the old fool trying to do? Does he believe that the tradition of the people of Tita to elect a brat is enough to change the current situation?” growled Zarberg angrily.

“Hehe. Representative, I believe Lan Jiang was trying to get on the good side of that brat,” said one of the more composed middle-aged men. He was Moore, the director of the Blue Star Commerce Organization. He was also the de facto in-charge for this project and was assisting Zarberg. After all, Zarberg was the son of the largest shareholder and would require a dazzling achievement to enter the board of directors officially. It was also to pave the way to the Allied Commerce Organization in the future.

“Oh?”

“Representative, the people of Tita are not good at faking, and this is something I can see. Old Man Lan is an old, sly fox. To be able to rule the Titatitan Star for so long, he definitely isn’t impulsive. The reason why the Lan family have what they have today is because of their relationship with the people of Tita. It has allowed them to dominate the other families, However, Wang Zheng has appeared now. Everyone who was there today saw that the people of Tita are closer to this teenager than the rest of us. If I was Lan Jiang, I would also resort to various ways to make him one of us, or at least make sure he won’t be our enemy.” Moore laughed. His age had allowed him to remain calm and composed no matter what he encountered.

“According to what you just said, do we have to get on the good side of this brat too?”

“I don’t mean that. What I mean was that we would have to consider our plan B. Our conflicts with the people of Tita can’t be resolved. No matter what, regardless of whether we can get the Lan family on our side or not, we still have to execute the plan. The truth is that there are also many powers who wish to replace them, and we could make use of them.”

“What you are saying is to adopt the hard stance. It won’t be easy to explain that to the Milky Way Alliance. Various major powers are also paying close attention to this.” Zarberg wasn’t silly. The reason to why he had to use such roundabout measures were to ensure that it would look legit.

The Blue Star Commerce Organization was a member of the Milky Way Alliance’s Commerce Alliance and was also one of the top 10 organizations within it. The influence of the Commerce Alliance was beyond doubt, but it also had to follow the rules of the game. Otherwise, other powers would definitely interfere, and the losses would be greater than what they would gain.

“We wouldn’t have to do it ourselves. What we need to do is to provide these people the funding and weapons. Obviously, with the current situation, we will likely need to make use of mercenaries. As long as we can adopt a blitzkrieg and settle it with the Milky Way Alliance when the time comes, everything will be settled and no one will care about a group of barbarians.”

Moore said with a grinning smile. A conservative estimation would place casualties over several tens of thousands. Zarberg was feeling a little cold. Although he also preferred to adopt the more ruthless method, he had undergone formal education, after all. He still had some lingering fear of slaughtering so many people.

However, he wasn’t willing to show it externally. “How confident are you?”

“The board has already made preparations. As long as the opportunity arises, the mercenaries will arrive. Obviously, to ensure that there are no hiccups, we will still have to make full use of all resources available to us, no matter if it’s the Lan family or the Milky Way Alliance’s Special Action Team.”

Moore said. Ison was a typical official of the Milky Way Alliance and was also the easiest to deal with. He wouldn’t need the help of the Milky Way Alliance’s Special Action Team. As long as they did not obstruct him, that would be sufficient.

It would be enough to just give him a large retirement sum, such that he wouldn’t be able to finish spending it in the latter half of his life.

Zarberg was also pondering his options. This project had been dragged on for too long. The longer it dragged out, the more disadvantageous it would be for them as there would be more powers paying attention to it. They had to quickly obtain controlling rights.

“Since the Lan family isn’t willing to do so, let’s just destroy them at the same time! They will have to submit to our pressure after declining our request.”

Zarberg was revealing a hideous look. If everything went on smoothly, the Lan family would be behind bars at that moment. Lan Ling, that little slut, would be free for him to deal with!

He suddenly felt very happy at the thought of it.

“Hehe, Representative, we could make use of the Lan family. Old Man Lan isn’t as righteous as he might seem to be.”

Moore laughed. It was only a matter of benefits. Since they had decided to round the Lan family up in one fell swoop and to nurture a new local power, they might as well make use of the Lan family too!

It would be a highly profitable project with minimum investment capital!

When Wang Zheng returned to the base in Canyon City, he realized that everyone was around and had weird expressions.

“Wang Zheng, you are quite the brat to have become the section leader quietly!” said Lao Xiong with an unfriendly expression.

Wang Zheng was stunned. The news had spread really quickly. He had not thought much about becoming the section leader. He had become the section leader only because of the situation at that moment. Moreover, with his current identity, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to say anything.

However, seniority was important in the military. For a student soldier who had arrived recently and had done nothing much to become the section leader suddenly, everyone would definitely not be convinced.

Jing Long seemed to look down on him. If the Red Fox were to be promoted, he should be taking over the position of the section leader. However, he had to continue being the vice-section leader.

Wang Zheng really did not wish for this to happen. Otaku Barry was silent and clearly considered Wang Zheng to be someone who had manipulated powers for personal benefits.

Wang Zheng forced a smile and said, “Everyone has gotten this wrong. There are certain reasons why it turned out this way, but I will not be taking up the position as section leader.”

The atmosphere was heavy. Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter. Jing Long came over and patted on Wang Zheng’s shoulders. “Student solder, we were teasing you. Everyone has been convinced about your capabilities. Moreover, you helped our boss become the squadron leader. There would be no reason as to why we would be not convinced. If one has the ambition, age shouldn’t matter. Am I right, my brothers?”

The whole bunk let out a wild growl.

Wang Zheng was speechless. “You were all playing a prank on me?”

“Haha. That’s obvious. You will be our boss in the future. How could we miss such an opportunity!” Lao Xiong laughed. “Your brothers are all good actors. We could consider becoming actors after retiring in the future.”

“With your looks, give the thought a rest. I would be more suitable.” Chang Xiaodan laughed.

Everyone was exchanging comments. Basically, they roughly understood Wang Zheng’s situation. Wang Zheng was rescued by the Missy of the Lan family after crashing onto the Titatitan Star, and their friendship was formed because of it. At the same time, he got to know the people of Tita because of Lan Ling. As for conquering the people of Tita, it might not be possible for others, but as the uncrowned king of the IG, it wouldn’t be impossible.

“Everything we drink and do tonight will be on you!” said Jing Long. “Your brothers will not miss this opportunity!”

The crowd started a fuss and Wang Zheng did not know if he should laugh or cry. “This matter was really settled with Ison just making a comment.”

“That person is a real fence-sitter. He could change his stance quicker than anyone in the current situation. Moreover, this matter has been dragging on for quite some time,” said Jing Long. The things that happened during the banquet had helped Ison make a decision.

As for the Golden Fox and the Silver Fox, he wouldn’t care less as he was their superior. Moreover, those two brats would need to rely on him or they would be suppressed to death by the Red Fox.

This could be considered killing two birds with an single stone.

Basically, everyone in the inner circle knew about the complete turnaround by the Red Fox. Obviously, everyone knew that there were some elements of a comedy.

“Wang Zheng is the lucky star of our Red Fox Section!” growled Otaku Barry loudly.

The nickname made Wang Zheng remember the family business of Tyrant Su. Wang Zheng shivered at the thought. This nickname was too awkward for him, wasn’t it?

No matter what, Wang Zheng was relieved. The official appointment order came two days later. Truthfully speaking, with Wang Zheng’s performance in the IG, becoming a section leader would be more than enough.

In the military, one’s strength and achievements were the absolute principle. No one was too surprised.

On the other hand, Kong Zhan and Ate came looking for Wang Zheng. Both of them congratulated Wang Zheng. Obviously, Wang Zheng welcomed both of them warmly. Relative to the people of Tita, they were the ones he had similar experiences with.

The three of them found a small shop outside the base. Ate was clearly being a little reserved. The others might place more emphasis on Wang Zheng’s position, but for the two of them, it was because of Wang Zheng’s strength.

“The truth is that the two of us have long wanted to look for you. However, the competition for the squadron leader had not been settled during those times. It’s great now. Since your section has emerged victorious, our captains have encouraged us to come and network with you.” Kong Zhan laughed. He wasn’t hiding or attempting to hide, as this was not important.

Wang Zheng laughed and replied, “In that case, I have to thank them for giving me this opportunity. I had long wanted to drink with you guys. After coming to this foreign place, it is only the three of us who are familiar with one another.”

Seeing that Wang Zheng was very easygoing, Ate was finally relieved. He had thought that pros like Wang Zheng might be aloof and arrogant. However, on the contrary, Wang Zheng was more amicable than he had imagined.

“Our captain said that you were the strongest person she had ever seen, and she made you her goal,” said Ate.

Wang Zheng and Kong Zhan knew that Ate was talking about Ao Ziwei.

“Ao Ziwei is being too courteous. There are many hidden talents within the Milky Way Alliance. Our batch was only a batch of the IG,” replied Wang Zheng. He wasn’t being humble but really felt that not all the pros were in this batch.

“Wang Zheng, what are your plans? How long will you be staying here?” asked Kong Zhan curiously. He had come to this place because he had taken the initiative to apply to be here. What was Wang Zheng doing here?

Wang Zheng forced a smile and replied, “It will probably be after resolving the current problem. I will take things as they come. Oh, right, the designer of the Wind God is on the Titatitan Star and will be designing a mech specifically to be used here. Are you two interested in being part of it?”

Both of their eyes lit up and they agreed almost in unison. They wanted to be closer to Wang Zheng. In a faraway foreign place, those with similar experiences would feel closer to one another. Moreover, they were also curious about what kind of new mech the designer of Wind God would come out with.

“Kong Zhan, what is your Ability X?”

“It is of the ‘Wind’ attribute. What is the matter?” Kong Zhan was taken aback. His ability wasn’t worth mentioning in front of Wang Zheng. However, Wang Zheng was exhilarated.

What was this about? He was able to find the right person by sheer luck after searching far and wide!
