Chapter 748: Stabilizing Force

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Perhaps there were many reasons to stop Wang Zheng from going, but eventually none of them worked out because Wang Zheng was innately adventurous. During the last battle, Wang Zheng had already lost half the battle, but that in turned fuelled his strong desire to win.

For some people, they were afraid of failures, afraid of being attacked by others, and hence they would avoid taking risks as much as possible. But Wang Zheng was an exception. He was not that proud and arrogant like those who came from wealthy families. In the Rubik’s cube, Bonehead’s super warrior training program, to put it simply, was all about the constant resurgence from failures and persevering in spite of setbacks.

Such resilience, and maturity in thoughts, were concealed under their peaceful appearance.

Most of the time, the sea was calm and peaceful, but at the bottom, there existed magnificent hidden waves.

From the last battle, Wang Zheng had clearly understood the capabilities of an individual who belonged to the Earth Grade. At the same time, he knew that the opponent was not completely perfect and had his flaws. Regardless of the mech or physical techniques, he would not be afraid, and if they were in a vast environment, Wang Zheng would be even more confident about winning the battle.

Well, he was more afraid of being restricted in a space where he had to fight all the way.

The place that Heaven had chosen was far from the city, surrounded by dense forests. Hence he had no fears, and he was not afraid that Wang Zheng would call for backup. In fact, he probably would have chosen his prime location for him to observe the situation. The moment he noticed that Wang Zheng did not come alone, he would disappear immediately and begin his assassination operation.

Well, Wang Zheng had factored this into his consideration as well, but he remained unbothered about it. He landed somewhere near the designated location, and walked towards the meeting point.

When one walks alone into the dense forests, one would be able to hear rustling sounds accompanied with the howling sounds coming from the primitive monsters of Titatitan Star. It was a little hollow, and lest we had forgotten, where was an Earth Grade killer seeking revenge for his broken hand camping inside the forests. For ordinary people, they would have felt the pressure building up on them, but for Wang Zheng, it seemed like liberation for him.

In the primitive world, there were no restraints, no baselines. There was only life and death!

After approximately half an hour, Wang Zheng finally reached his destination. As there was still some time before the designated meeting time, he started to climb trees with his agile limbs. At the same time, he observed his surroundings, which was peaceful and seemingly no one was in sight.

The ability to detect enemies, was typically an advanced technique. This was an innate advantage of those with a stronger Ability X, but Wang Zheng was able to obtain this ability. It would be impossible for Heaven to go undetected the moment he arrived.

He was curious about how would Heaven resolve the grudge between them.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted. Wang Zheng came down from the tree, as Heaven had arrived.

Heaven’s left hand was still broken. It seemed like it was only given basic treatment, and Wang Zheng’s gaze had turned cold.

Heaven had a smile on his face, “Your reaction is quick, and you have the guts. Looks like you have confidence in yourself huh? But did you know, if I had the intention to kill you right from the very beginning, you wouldn’t be standing in front of me right now.”

Wang Zheng smiled. Now, it was a psychological game. Regardless of the outcome, one had to be strong willed and believe that he was able to emerge victorious to win.

“Perhaps you’re right, but that was just an ‘if’. The last time you didn’t manage to kill me, it will be even more impossible for you to do so this time round. But I’m really curious, the mission has already ended, you have no reason to stay on Titatitan Star.” Wang Zheng said.

“Woah, you mean a broken hand is not a valid reason for me to kill you countless times?”

Wang Zheng shook his head, “If you had treated it in time, it would be recovering well right now. Well, you said the last time you had no intention to kill, but now you do, I’m really curious about the reason behind it.”

Heaven was really ruthless the last time they met, but Wang Zheng did not sense his intention to kill. Things were a little different this time round. Heaven appeared to be rather relaxed and was talking cheerfully, but Wang Zheng could feel the murderous aura from him.

Heaven shrugged his shoulders, “Do you know why I had no intention to kill you the other time? You resembled me when I was younger. A youth with dreams and perseverance, someone who trusted his brothers and would not hesitate to help them at all costs, such innocence is really charming and fascinating.”

Heaven was speaking with fervor. Although he had only one hand, it seemed as though Wang Zheng had already fallen into his trap.

“So actually I did not have the intention to kill you, but now I do. Someone wants you dead, and this is something I cannot go against.” Heaven smiled bitterly, “Regardless of the Elite Academy, or the Underworld, there are always some forces that we cannot go against. One day you’ll look back and realize, what you insist on, is only for the sake of survival and nothing less.”

Wang Zheng looked at Heaven, “May I ask who that person is?”

“Killers have their own rules. Well, we’re not supposed to divulge any information, but this matter itself is already breaking the rules. I can only tell you, the forces within the Underworld is extremely complicated. Offending an individual isn’t a big deal, but the one who is after your life belongs to one of those forces. If I don’t get you, the one that perishes would be me instead.” Heaven was smiling even more peacefully, but at the same time the murderous aura was intensifying.

Wang Zheng did not know when did he offend the forces from the Underworld. Could it be his influence on the Titatitan Star had affected someone?

Or could it be the Aslan Empire?

Actually, after having his thoughts run back and forth, Wang Zheng suddenly laughed. Wang Zheng was just himself, someone who was never satisfied to be ordinary. Since it was something exciting, then all the more he had to be more vigorous. As long as it was coming for him, it did not matter to him who the person was.

“Well, it is understandable that each of us serve our own master. Brother Heaven, since it’s going to be a battle of life and death, don’t go easy on me. Although I may be lacking in terms of my level, but killing me ain’t going to be that easy.” Wang Zheng said.

“You’re interesting, and tough. Although it’s a pity to have you killed with my own hands, but as a professional killer, it’s something to be happy about. You didn’t bring anyone along, and there’s only dense forests over here. You’re bound to die. Actually why don’t you give up. I can end it in an instant and let you experience it once and for all.”

Heaven laughed, the battle between the both of them had begun.

“Brother Heaven, you’re timid. How can an Earth Grade killer have no confidence in yourself.” Wang Zheng laughed out loud.

Wang Zheng’s counterattack was sharp and precise. Just as he ended his talk, he dove straight into the forests, instantly widening the gap between them to about ten metres.

Heaven was stunned, never in his dreams would he had thought that this fellow would pull such a trick on him. Wang Zheng appeared to be so confident, and yet he escaped in an instant.

But, was he really able to escape?

Heaven moved his body and immediately chased in the direction where Wang Zheng was heading. He had completely grasped his surroundings, a vast land far away that was filled with wild beasts. It was inconvenient for any reinforcements to penetrate through such a harsh terrain.

He wanted to see how Wang Zheng could get away from his pursuit.

It was akin to a predator chasing after its prey, but Wang Zheng was just running all the way and had no intentions of getting caught by Heaven. action

At the Governor’s Office, everyone had a grim expression. All of them thought everything was at peace, but they did not expect the situation to become like this. If Wang Zheng was killed, then the situation would truly turn for the worst.

This was because the team that Wang Zheng had gathered when he came to Titatitan Star, would break down immediately. Mu Sen did not expect Wang Zheng to go alone, and the main issue was that no one knew where they were supposed to meet. Besides, it had been quite some time since he left for the battle, it would be too late to help even if they had wished to.

Ai Xiaolu did not expect Wang Zheng to go ahead without saying a word, or make preparations for the battle at the very least. She was trying her best in persuading Uncle Luo to help Wang Zheng, but to no avail. Uncle Luo was a respected senior in the family, and based on his status and capabilities, he seldom had to get into action. If not for Ai Xiaolu’s identity, the fact that she was part of the younger generation, and the chaos happening on Titatitan Star, he would not have come. To exchange blows with a killer out of nowhere, this was something that Luo Quan would not interfere with. And everything happens for a reason. If the Ai Shi Financial Group had gotten into trouble because of this, it would not be a wise choice to make.

The more powerful one becomes, the more unwilling one became in making enemies. At this point, it was clear that Heaven was going after Wang Zheng, and only Wang Zheng could resolve this matter on his own.

Luo Quan could see that Ai Xiaolu had a high regard, and even a little admiration for Wang Zheng. In fact, she was trying to bring Wang Zheng and Snow Li together, but when it came to crisis management, she was blinded by her emotions.

Although it was a rather good path, but based on Ai Xiaolu’s identity and status, once she left the Elite Academy, there would be plenty of opportunities out there. Based on her intelligence and wits, she would benefit all her life from managing the Ai Shi Financial Group well enough.

Taking a different stance, would mean that one would have a completely different train of thought as well.

Yan Xiaosu looked pale, for he had witnessed what had happened previously, and could not fathom how the situation devolved to this state instantly.

Ye Zisu was at a loss too, while the masses were bickering nonstop. They were all thinking about how they could save Wang Zheng. On the contrary, Achilles just laughed and did not say a single word, because this situation was a little amusing to him.

Frankly speaking, with regards to one’s identity or status, Achilles and Lie Xin were much more important but they still came over. It would be a lie if one said there was no danger involved in this battle, but since when did Wang Zheng became like flowers in the greenhouse that had to be specially taken care of?

Perhaps it was just a moment of frenzy because they were concerned, but Achilles could see clearly that his high regard for Wang Zheng was not because he had something, nor was it because of his performance on Titatitan Star. This was of no value to Achilles. Instead, it was Wang Zheng’s approach towards danger that attracted Achilles, who was similar to him.

This was also the reason why there were no ordinary people around Achilles, because their sentimentality and weakness would be a burden for him.

In this regard, Wang Zheng did not do well. Just taking this matter for instance, Yan Xiaosu had clearly become a weakness.

In comparison, Lear Chronos was more ruthless and decisive. From another perspective, Achilles and Lie Xin were the same as well. When it came to a point where sacrifices had to be made, they could even do away with Lie Guang.

Of course, this was the reason why Achilles was willing to get close with Wang Zheng. It was because he knew that Wang Zheng had his bottom line, even if they had become enemies in the future, he would not resort to underhanded means to achieve his goals. Lear was capable of doing so, and the same went for Lie Xin too.

Just when everyone else was panicking, Yan Xiaosu’s pale and worried face had become more calm, “Zisu, don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen to our big boss, perhaps we will get a surprise!”

Ye Zisu was shocked, little did she expect such words to come from Yan Xiaosu who was even more timid than her.

Everyone was looking at Yan Xiaosu, and his expression was a little stiff, “How can an Earth Grade killer dare to create havoc here! I guarantee that the outcome will be extremely interesting!”

“Fatty, don’t say things that you don’t know about!” Ai Xiaolu was raged as she spoke. He was an ordinary fellow, at a glance he was just a mediocre fatty, and yet he dared to make such bold statements.

Yan Xiaosu did not get angry, and smiled,”Well, I can blabber nonsense about other matters, but amongst everyone here, who dares to say that he understands Wang Zheng better than I do?”

Suddenly, everyone was silent. Mu Sen and Lan Ling were also flustered, but no one would have expected that the most stable person was Yan Xiaosu. Honestly speaking, if not for Wang Zheng, the rest of them had looked down on Yan Xiaosu who was a frivolous talker and an opportunist. The strength of Little Lucky Stars was just like that, Mu Sen and Lan Ling were not foolish either, it was all for Wang Zheng’s sake. But looking at Yan Xiaosu now, it seemed like they had underestimated Fatty Su.

With the guts to go against an Earth Grade killer and being the most steady one when others were in a state of panic, at critical moments, he was no different from Wang Zheng.
