Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 101

Shi Lang rushed back to the villa and packed his bag. Changed in the regular military uniform and walked out to the garage. He picked up a bike and rode it to the transportation base, designated to the secret divisions. Today he was going to use his privilege as a Major. He was going to use his privilege as a Major.

He showed his access to the guards in the bay and came inside where the solo space fighters were docked. He was going to use this vehicle for his travels. Since he was given just one week, he will hitch a ride on other big-class military spaceships. Getting on the spaceship, familiarized himself with the cockpit and put on the helmet.

He spoke, “ATC, ATC, this is phantom fighter pilot, Ace. Do you copy?”

The connection was established and the person on the other end replied, “This is ATC, go ahead, Ace.”

Since Shi Lang was using the vehicle designated to the secret division specifically, he needed to use his registered codename or they will not allow him to fly. Well, such were protocols and conducts. Shi Lang replied, “Requesting permission to take off.”

The Air Traffic Control replied, “You can take off, the window to breach the stratosphere is five minutes.”

Shi Lang confirmed a few more things with them and pressed the ignition button. The ship flew up vertically at a high speed. After a thousand meters in the void, Shi Lang maneuvered and said, “Ace going Mach two.”

Then he pushed the throttle control and with a boom, the vehicle moved. It went straight through the clouds. Shi Lang increased the speed and kept announcing it to the ATC transmission, until a few moments later when the fighter ship got past the atmosphere.

Shi Lang contacted a few military ships in the vicinity and hitched multiple rides to get through the sea of stars.

…

At this moment, Amelia had just entered the basecamp, with her body covered in mud and dust. Her face was anything but beautiful. However, the girl went straight inside the main building and reported to the commander about her expedition.

The commander of this base was a Major ranked five-star Terran, called Tiberius Dawn. He was a man in his mid-twenties and was considered a genius, however, he was a typical one, as soon as he found Amelia, he was head over heels for her. The girl did not find that it was necessary to make her engaged status clear to him.

He was not important to her. The man was trying every possible way to woo the cold goddess. He was unaware of his own folly. Amelia entered the room, with the guy sitting in his chair. She saluted and said, “Commander, the expedition proved useful, the route discovered by the satellite is secure from Shamanti threat. However, there is something else.”

Tiberius was listening to her in a daze, he asked, “What is it?” with a voice so soft that it made many females inside the room envious.

Amelia replied with her indifference, “They have a next of hostile bug beasts in there. The bug is as small as a pea, however, the speed is akin to a bullet and they attack in swarms.”

Tiberius nodded and said, “You might be tired, do that rest for the time being. Shall I get you something?”

Amelia saluted him and was about to walk out of the control room, without caring for the guy’s embarrassment. Suddenly, a soldier spoke up, “Commander, an unidentified space ship passed through the atmosphere and will be upon us in a few seconds. What are your orders?”

Tiberius raised his brows and said, “Shoot it down.”

He did not ask the origins of the spaceship or tried to establish the contact, but directly gave assault commands. Amelia stopped in her tracks for a bit but then walked out of the control room. She did not care if this guy did anything wrong, he would always find a way to get away from it.

The soldier hesitated and pressed a few buttons on the console, initiating the air defense system to take down the incoming spaceship. His hand was about to press the fire button when the communication system of the control room activated by itself and a cold voice sounded, “This is Agent Ace, secret division. Here to report to Camp Ragnarok. Stand down. Or I will return fire and raze your building to a parking lot.”

His voice was enough to send shivers across the room. Everyone shivered from fright because of the combinations of a few words. Secret Division, Camp Ragnarok, I will fire. They did not expect it to be such a person. Everyone turned their gaze to look at Tiberius, who was standing there in a daze.

He said, “Do not panic, stand down. I will deal with this.” his voice was quite calm.

He turned back to find Amelia gazing at the console and shivering slightly. Tiberius thought that she was shivering because of the threat they received on the transmission. He walked over and said, “Lieutenant, you do not have to feel scared. I will deal with this person. You will not be implicated.”

Amelia suddenly went stiff and then relaxed. She said, “Commander, I am not afraid. I wonder if you will be going to attend the secret division officer?”

Tiberius failed to catch the hint of mischief in her voice and said, “Yes, I am the commander of this base, it is only reasonable that I welcome the guest.”

Amelia nodded and gestured for him to take the lead. The man smiled and straightened his back to walk out in the front. His adjutant was also a girl and caught up with Amelia. The two were aware of the hedonistic personality of their superior and banded together. The adjutant asked, “What’s up?”

She was not a lusty wolf who lost her sense of measure in heat, she did catch the tinge of mischief in Amelia’s voice earlier and thus questioned her. The latter smiled and winked at her, indicating to be patient. This was the smile that Tiberius was so eager for.

…

A team of soldiers took defensive formation around a single-man fighter spaceship that had just landed in the transportation area. They all had their arms at ready, suddenly they heard a hissing sound coming from the cockpit hatch. The cockpit door moved back and a figure dressed in a black uniform jumped out from it.

The people saw the black dress and they were all shocked. They gulped in a mouthful of saliva and took half a step back. It was not because they feared the strength of the person but his position. The black dress belonged to the secret divisions. They all may be from different divisions, but they all had one dress, one purpose, and they were all very cruel.

The secret divisions were viewed as monster legions. Each and every one of them was so cunning and cruel that they could even make your shadows betray you. It was at this moment that Tiberius walked over with his crew.

He spoke in a cheery tone, “Welcome, Sir…”

His greeting was not even finished when Shi Lang raised his head to gaze at him. The bland mask and vermillion glazed lense as his eyes sent out sirens in Tiberius’s mind. And he was not wrong. Shi Lang took a hold of the hand gun strapped to his tight and directly aimed at the Base commander’s head.

However, none of the people in the defensive parameter dared to raise their gun against him. Shi Lang did not fire but walked closer to the man slowly. He stuck the barrel of the hand gun to Tiberius’s chin and asked in a somber tone, “How does it feel to be at the gun point for no reason?”

Tiberius could tell that the man in front of him had the intention to kill him. He put away his ass-kissing attitude and said, “I apologize for the misconduct sir.”

Shi Lang snorted and said, “If it was a civilian ship seeking your help and they were met with those guns you moved as you wished, I would have to take a trip here and bring their relatives your head on a silver platter. Remember, that the chair you sit on comes with burdens and is not meant for you to rest. Be responsible and tedious in your duty, or I do not mind making a special mention to the seniors.”

Tiberius was scared shitless. He did not dare doubt a single syllable Shi Lang had said just now. He did not have the courage to say anything and just nodded with a drop of sweat trickling down the side of his face.

Shi Lang took back his gun and turned to look at Amelia, and after taking down his mask, he said, “Surpris…”

Amelia, on the other hand, thew herself in his embrace and said, “I missed you, Honey.”

Her tone was so sweet that Shi Lang was surprised. Well, he was not the only one to experience the same.
