Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 933

Chapter 933

But the bit of scuffle was nothing new to Elite Academy X . After the bother had been chased away, they could enjoy themselves . Elite Academy X was different from other colleges because such low-level braggarts were non-existent .

Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er were feeling playful, which was why they had shown their cards . But Er Yu and the rest were indeed shocked . They were exceptionally delighted at Zhang Shan’s mysterious guests . Clearly, everyone was willing to be friends with the Ms . Perfects .

On the way back to school, Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er walked together, speaking one on one . Ai Xiaolu wanted to have a feel for Luo Er’s attitude . Wang Zheng had told her before that he was asking Luo Er for help as well . After all, the Chairman’s daughter would have unmatched intelligence on the situation . At the very least, she could learn of the Milky Way Alliance’s view on the matter .

And Ai Xiaolu knew that Luo Er thought well of Wang Zheng . This good feeling would help matters along quite a bit .

“You know about Wang Zheng’s problem as well?” Luo Er asked . She obviously knew that Ai Xiaolu was managing Saruman Snake Battle Team . Many people had seen Saruman Snake’s successful transformation as in no small part due to Ai Xiaolu’s efforts . This had made many Hail Cloud Alliance students unhappy . After all, Icefire Battle Team’s results were not as good .

“Wang Zheng and I are good friends . Many of his friends are on Tita Star and, actually, his wealth is all invested on Tita Star . ” Ai Xiaolu twinkled .

Luo Er laughed lightly, starting up the shuttle . She could not drive too fast – this was no mech – but she did enjoy the feeling of being free in the air .

“Are you going to help him?” Luo Er suddenly asked, smiling .

Ai Xiaolu was taken aback . Looking at this petite Gemini Star girl, she suddenly realized that she had committed a grave error . As the Chairman’s daughter, and also a specialist in social systems, her IQ and EQ must both be out of this world .

“I am . ” Ai Xiaolu had no need to deceive her . Besides, the Council’s stance was important in such an endeavor .

Luo Er smiled slightly . “I can see that you’re concerned for Wang Zheng . Given the rules of the Ai family, what you’re doing may be overboard . ”

“Keke, for me to do this, it must pass the family . From a business perspective, I’ve invested in Wang Zheng as a person . I favor him . ”

“Oh, is that right? There are tons of talent in Elite Academy X, and you’ve invested in the most risky one,” Luo Er said .

Ai Xiaolu was suddenly calm . This was the real Luo Er . People were often taken in by the appearances of Gemini Star people, but these appearances meant nothing to Gemini Star people . She looked like a loli, but in truth, Luo Er was very mature .

“High risk, high reward . And? What’s your reason for helping Wang Zheng? Don’t tell me that you like him,” Ai Xiaolu said .

Luo Er flashed a brilliant smile . “Don’t be so stodgy . Wang Zheng is not exactly my cup of tea . But he has a very alluring quality . Go ahead and guess . If you’re right, I don’t mind giving you a boost on this . ”

Ai Xiaolu knew that Luo Er was testing her . What was Luo Er referring to?

If Ai Financial Group was the stereotypical corporate family, then Luo Er was the stereotypical political family . And she had made it to the pinnacle of the Milky Way .

What did political families value?

Bravery? Strength? Potential?

None of these were of primary importance . Suddenly, Ai Xiaolu smiled, and opened her mouth . Luo Er smiled in response, nodding .

“Even so, I think it’s still insufficient,” Ai Xiaolu said .

“You’ve answered correctly . That’s why I chose to say nothing . This matter coincides with the Council’s interests . Besides, I might take a hand as well . Take it as my branching out from politics . ” Luo Er laughed .

If Wang Zheng was here, he would definitely be rendered speechless . The angle from which they saw the problem was completely different, as a result of their upbringing . In the stable era of the vast interstellar, the rulers of humanity had always been the descendants of the family . Excellent genes, excellent education, excellent resources dedicated for nurturing . This had built a dominating tier which new blood struggled to break out of . Many were assimilated .

“There is indeed some difficulty to this . If it succeeds, this should be a real feather in your cap . ”

“That’s why, Classmate Xiaolu, we both acknowledge the need for cooperation . Let’s help Wang Zheng get ahead,” Luo Er said .

Both girls gave a knowing smile . Although they got along well with their peers, their upbringing was very different . They were not destined for a simple life . But they concealed it well, until they met one of their like .

Ai Xiaolu had first discovered Wang Zheng as a target . Although Luo Er had originally taken note of him, she had not held any special interest . Until the Gemini Star trip, when Butcher’s attitude and Wang Zheng’s performance had shown her that he was more than the rumors . He was more impressive than expected .

As for liking him, it was true that she held affection for him . Anything deeper than that would require more careful consideration .

With Luo Er’s help, Ai Xiaolu suddenly felt the pressure alleviated . But still, this matter would be one of the hardest things that Ai Xiaolu would take on to date .

More tangibly, how this matter would turn out, and the difficulty, would still depend on the main player, the bigger country in the shadows .

And as for who it was, and where the final bottom line was, these had to be found out . It was extremely dangerous for Ai Financial Group to intervene in this . This risk could very well set the family back, and the lifeline of Luo Er was a helpful push .

Ai Xiaolu kneaded her forehead . That punk Wang Zheng had indeed set her a tough nut to crack .

But only such difficult tasks could arouse her interest .

Wang Zheng had maintained communications with Tita Star as well . Things had been relatively peaceful recently, and no arms were used . Many of the business groups also could not ignore their previous investments, and a semblance of peace had been restored . But they dared not to let their guard down . Mu Sen and Lan Ling hoped for Wang Zheng to return .

To return… Wang Zheng deemed it necessary as well . At this time, he should be facing it all together with Rara Durai, even if it was war . As for external matters, he could only depend on Ai Xiaolu .

The second round of the Greatest King battle was about to start . Rumors flew that the big Battle Teams had supplemented their lineups, with some making radical changes . Saruman Snake Battle Team was facing trouble . Once Snow Li left, they would be in a tough spot . But compared to the Battle Team matters, the Tita people’s situation was more pressing .

Before leaving, Wang Zheng felt that he should give Lear a present .

Wang Zheng arrived at the place that he and Lie Xin had arranged to meet . Lie Xin was lounging around drinking coffee, giving Wang Zheng a burning look that he wasn’t sure was a smile .

“What’s up?” Lie Xin was as straightforward as usual . Her beautiful, long legs were splayed all over, and Wang Zheng was not sure where to look .

“I want you to join Saruman Snake Battle Team!” Wang Zheng did not beat around the bush either .

Lie Xin laughed . “Why?”

“I need to go to Tita Star . You know the situation as well . In my absence, Achilles alone won’t do . We need you,” Wang Zheng said frankly .

“And why should I agree?”
