Chapter 823: A Great Disaster

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

There were only eight slots. The first team to be confirmed, and also the team that was most certain to be chosen was surprisingly Dynasty battle team! The captain was from Earth. This would be completely inconceivable in the past. However, no matter how baffling it seemed, it was the truth now.

On the side of Aslan, they had undergone a consolidation to prevent internal exhaustion. With Aslan’s strength, it wouldn’t be impossible to forcefully enrol two teams. However, the final effect might not definitely be the best. Therefore the Aslan Alumni club had only enrolled a single team, Hocatolin’s Imperial Glory battle team.

Lin Huiyin would be the leader of the battle team with its members selected from Aslan students. As long as her Highness, the princess, had spoken, the conflicts and frictions afterwards would suddenly vanish. This made it much simpler. Moreover, Hocatolin’s strength and influence were still intact. Therefore, it would also be a given that Imperial Glory battle team would be selected. Other teams might be worrying about getting the confirmation but the problem for them was that there were simply too many people that it might be a problem. Hocatolin would be taking up a position and so would Heracles Poseidon from Atlantis. The other three main members’ positions would be decided between the numerous masters from Aslan.

With her Highness, the Princess, leading the team herself, everyone in Aslan was united and strong as one. The competition within Aslan’s internal selection was intense. One not only had to compete for a position as the main force, one even had to compete to become a reserve. Therefore the little Princess had been very busy recently. Wang Zheng was finally able to heave a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of this smart and playful brat torturing him now.

The style of Arbiter was clearly different from Aslan. Arbiter was too strong. A single slot wouldn’t be enough to satisfy them. Although they were brothers, Marzu and Olivios basically didn’t have any interactions between them. To sum it up, one wouldn’t be able to make sense of their relationship.

Olivios’ Asura battle team and Marzu’s Massacre battle team had registered at the same time. However if one was to consider the strength of each battle team, these two teams were still very strong. As to if they could be selected at the same time, the Academy side would still have some conflicts considering they were both from Arbiter. After all, Aslan had only selected one team. However, if Marzu and Olivios were to form a single team… it would probably not require any strategy. With the strength of these two people, they could directly roll over the rest.

Being too strong was also a cause for concern.

Naturally, Wang Zheng’s side was also preparing enthusiastically. The addition of Achilles had undoubtedly greatly strengthened and stabilised the Saruman Snake battle team. As for the competition for a position, it had also become more intense. After all, Achilles also represented the top-level strength in the Elite Academy.

With the additional of him, it also allowed the strategies of the Saruman Snake battle team to be more varied. The team of Wang Zheng and Achilles were looked forward by many others.

Besides that, Lya Sphinx, Hail Cloud Alliance and other powerful countries were also preparing for it. The intention from the school was clear. The first wave of battles was clearly for showing the highest standard.

Lear was feeling very relaxed now. Others were mostly lacking a tank warrior. In his team, he had a surplus. Lear and his professors had come to an agreement and that was to restrict the allocation of tank pilots from Black Tortoise Region out as much as possible. It would at least be such a case in the first stage so as to allow Dynasty battle team to be at an advantageous position as much as possible.

Obviously this couldn’t be done openly. Additionally Lear also knew about the situation on Earth. However, this incident had nothing to do with him and he didn’t have the energy to bother with it. This was an inevitable result in the competition for resources between a new rising power and an old power. There’s nothing to be said about it and he didn’t want to care about it. When he was in a different position, what he looked at would also be different. He also knew that the real reserves of the Chronos Family weren’t just that small amount on Earth. There was no real need for him to look after it and there would be people below him following up naturally. What he needed to do now was to establish influence at this higher level to lay and build a good foundation for future developments.

The Elite Academy X might look like just a school but it played an utmost important role in future developments. He knew clearly about this and so do some other people. Some might have already started using it. Sometimes Lear really wanted to rip open Wang Zheng’s head and see what he had inside. He was only able to have such ways of thinking and vision with his family background. This was what the Chronos Family had accumulated. One wouldn’t become a noble without three generations of time. However, Wang Zheng’s background was nothing like him and yet how could his thinking be so clear?

The Old Merchant had said previously that in this generation, a good scientist was also a good politician at the same time.

He was the first real teacher of Wang Zheng and had influenced the formation of qualities of Wang Zheng subconsciously. This formed the foundation for Wang Zheng’s future. A good Mentor would triumph over all others.

The situation on Earth was pressing. Ye Zisu felt a little desolate. Over the past two days, she had gone around various activities but was unable to reap any returns. It had become extremely difficult to even meet those people who usually addressed her father as brothers at this moment. Even when she finally got to meet them, they all showed a helpless and painful expression. However in the next instance, they were smiling and joking with other people in the banquet. There were also some who were pondering about how to kick them when they were down and gained benefits from OMG.

Relationships between people were apathetic and the world was cold. Ye ZIsu had truly experienced it.

The Yan father and son were also going around to various activities. However, the results weren’t great. If it was during usual times or if the problem wasn’t big, it might still be ok. However, those insiders all knew that Ye Bingwen and OMG had offended the Chronos Family. In the past, the other party just wasn’t making its move. However, the scale of action this time was clearly to deal them a death blow. Whoever got involved would probably become a target of attacks from the Chronos Family.

They had just visited a high ranking Federal officer. This was possible because of family connections. Although they were separated by many different families, it would still be easier if they were connected. However after they mentioned Ye Bingwen, this relative had found an excuse and left.

The two said goodbye and left. When they left, they saw a Skylink message from an encrypted number. “Old Yan, it’s me. It isn’t appropriate for me to say something just now. Stop wasting your time and energy on this matter. Let me reveal this information for you to know. OMG is completely finished. If they give up their operating rights, the person might still be able to live. Otherwise… Sigh! It would be best for Little Lucky Star to severe the relationship now. Otherwise you all would also be implicated. That’s all I have to say. Take care!”

After reading the message, they raised their head and saw Liang Yindao’s speech from the TV programme showing from the window opposite the road. He was bashing OMG and Ye Bingwen constantly and putting on a seemingly just front.

Liang Yindao had become the vanguard in attacking Ye Bingwen. One had to admit that the effects were very clear. With his grassroots image as foundation, OMG and Ye Bingwen’s reputation were completely tarnished after multiple speeches on TV by Liang Yindao. There were even citizens gathering in front of the headquarters building of OMG, which had been shut down, holding banners and protesting.

Yan Xiaosu had a stern look. When public opinions were directed and made used by those with ill intentions, it would be as disastrous as a torrential flood.

The Skylink rang again. I was Jasper.

Yan Xiaosu sneered. OMG’s Ye Zisu had a share in the Little Lucky Star TitaTitan Investment Company. “Hey Jasper, what’s the matter?”

Before Jasper had called, there had already been several investment companies who had joined at a later stage calling him to ask about the risks.

“Cough. Brother Yan, there’s nothing much. I just wanted to ask if there’s anything I could help with?”

In the video conference, Jasper was smiling seriously. He wasn’t just seeing the risks like others but he was also looking at the opportunities behind all the turmoil.

Yan Xiaosu was taken aback. He nodded his head forcefully once. “Brat, there’s nothing much to do currently. Oh ya, OMG’s had a project to help the poor by bringing the people of Earth to TitaTitan Star. Please collect information on their living conditions now.”

“Sure. Brother Yan, I had consolidated my position in the family substantially. If there’s a need, we could show solidarity at the Milky Way Galaxy level.”

“Let’s not take action now. The opponents this time have great powers. If you made a statement, the other party might have a greater reaction. It would be bad if he maligned you with forging evidence.”

Yan Xiaosu was still very cautious. Uncle Ye was already a committee member and yet he was captured without concern. Even they had been implicated. After going around, those in their network for years weren’t even willing to reveal any news. Some even made the decisive decision to not meet them at all. From the looks of this, the other party that had targeted uncle Ye probably had great powers. It was truly terrifying.

After hanging up Jasper’s Skylink, Yan Xiaosu pondered for a while and decided to still dial Wang Zheng’s Skylink number.

Wang Zheng knew that if they were no exceptional things, Yan Xiaosu wouldn’t be looking for him at this point in time.

“Boss, something serious happened here. Uncle Ye has been imprisoned…”

Yan Xiaosu explained the situation in detail once. “Boss, the current situation is a little steep. Is it possible to request Governor Mu Sen to do something on their end?”

Wang Zheng nodded and didn’t say much. The battles in the political scene were very complicated. After discussing with Yan Xiaosu again, he immediately contacted Mu Sen. In some aspects, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu might feel more about it. However, he wouldn’t just let this matter be settled in such a way.

“I had tried to find out more about this incident in the first instance. There is great difficulty. The other party has spent a lot of political power and connections in this aspect. I’m only afraid the other party would accuse falsely the actions taken by our side into evidence against committee member Ye. Therefore, I have been waiting and observing quietly to see how things would go. Rest assured, I will have a plan.” Mu Sen had also paid a lot of attention on this incident and had already taken action to handle it.

Mu Sen knew everything about humans. He wasn’t surprised at all that such a thing would happen. At the same time, he clearly knew about the breadth of things he should do. If he had taken the side of Ye Bingwen in a rush, a well-intentioned thing could become a bad thing.

Wang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief after Mu Sen had explained the situation once. Through the analysis of costs and benefits in this incident, at least Ye Bingwen’s life wouldn’t be in danger.

“However the other party was very strong. It would be hard to say if Committee Member Ye’s company and position could be protected in full.”

“It would be fine as long as the person is alright. There’s a saying among the humans that goes along where there is life, there is hope. Elder Mu Sen, I’ll be troubling you then.”

After hanging up the Skylink, Wang Zheng dialled through Ye Zisu’s Skylink. He could tell that Ye Zisu’s eyes were a little red. However, her expression was still rather calm.

“Do Yan Xiaosu and you see me as an outsider? If you encounter such incidents next time, you have to inform me in the first instance.” Wang Zheng opened his mouth and broke the silence.

Ye Zisu smiled forcefully. “Wouldn’t this mean that I can’t handle it myself? Why are you still blaming me?”

“Why would I blame you? I believe in Uncle Ye. Looking from another perspective, this might be a good thing” said Wang Zheng. One had to admit that Mu Sen’s analysis was very reasonable. If one didn’t go through hardship, how would one see the rainbow after the rain? It was the case for TitaTitan Star and would also be the same at a smaller scale at the individual level.

OMG’s growth and strengthening would naturally have to go through this process.

Wang Zheng did not talk about the solution in details with Ye Zisu. Some things would be fine just by executing it. He had talked about the interesting things that happened in Elite Academy instead to take Ye Zisu’s mind off. Wang Zheng’s conviction had truly made Ye Zisu feel much better. The more she cared about the incident, the more she would be in a panic. Moreover, the incident involved her only father. Things had not reached the point of no return. At such times, it would be more important to remain calm.
