Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 344 Subdue.

The Federal Star Academy contingent was seemingly unstoppable. Their performances were not too striking that they will stand out, but they were smooth. Shi Lang watched the mech run and nodded. They did better than expected. Theseus and the rest gathered after their test. The result was announced and they passed the test with ease.

Shi Lang asked, "What did you learn?"

Quo Lina stepped forward and said, "There is a slight delay in the controls, regardless of the advancement the limbs of the mechs do not respond as quickly as our limbs, so we have to be quicker in our reaction."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "This can be negated by using the Neural link, however, these older models do not have the new link technology."

Theseus said, "Teacher, but we cannot use it all the time, can we?"

"Indeed, you will have your stamina sapped quicker when you use the neural link, that is why it is recommended to use it in dire situations.", said the young general.

The students nodded and then they followed him. The next event schedule has been sent out to their communicators. As they were heading out, Major Aztec happened to be around and he came to Shi Lang. The young general stopped when he saw him and nodded.

Aztec smiled and said, "Greetings, Sir."

Shi Lang waved his hand and said, "We are teachers at the moment, Major. You do not need to put on the military respects."

Aztec scratched the back of his head and said, "Cannot help it, Sir."

Shi Lang smiled and shook his head, and asked, "So what can I do for you?"

Aztec said, "Umm, Sir, actually a lot of young military officers are in the city, so I told them about you, and they all wish to meet you."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "We can gather in the evening. You can arrange the place and tell me about it. I will settle the tab."

Aztec was gratified and they exchanged contact information and then left alone. The students were taken to the hotel and then Shi Lang checked the mission status with Darcx and found that things were going smoothly. He was at ease, but he still went out of the way and communicated with Commander Scar.

He spent a considerable amount of time talking to the people and perfecting the investigation. The entire federation was boiling with movement from the smallest to the biggest link that could be found. Some of the people understood that the Secret Division has caught a whiff and they could not take the pressure so they came forward to surrender, while some began to distance themselves from the ongoing investigation.

However, nothing worked, the secret divisions worked combinedly and they caught hold of the roots of this syndicate. The person behind this was former cabinet minister Luan Mata. He was arrested by the Shadow Executioners when he was sleeping in his house. Shi Lang was asked what to do, and the young man said, "Kill them and hang their bodies around the cabinet building."

The commanders were shocked but then they agreed, after all the statement they wanted to make was clear, that whether it was the higher-ups or not, they will receive the same treatment as a criminal would if they tried to harm the federation for their personal interests.

Shi Lang received a message in the evening, Aztec has sent him the location of the gathering and the young man asked Amelia to come along with him. The lady was in the city and their family was having a fun trip. But since it was a military gathering, Shi Lang wanted her to be with him.

Shi Tao also tagged along when the family arrived at the pub. Suddenly, the young man asked, "Do you have any weapons on you?"

Amelia was stunned and asked, "What happened?"

Shi Lang replied, "I sensed ten gazes on my back. Something is not feeling right."

Amelia held Shi Tao's arm slightly tighter and said, "What shall we do?"

Although she asked this her gaze was calm, she did not have the habit of scanning the place with her spiritual sense. After Shi Lang expressed his doubts, she scanned the place and found it to be true. The young man did not falter and kept walking as if he did not know anything. After a few seconds, he said, "You can go ahead without me, I will join you after these junk dogs are settled."

The lady nodded and the two people went separate ways. Aztec was aware that Amelia will be coming as well. So he had already informed the people. Shi Lang had no time to waste as he turned around and his figure flickered.

He appeared on top of a ten-floor building in a blink. His spiritual sense had already been locked at the ten people. He thought of something and said, "I am a fool to let Amy go alone."

He found a metal rod at the side and using his strength he tore it into ten metal discs. Then he covered them with his spirit energy and controlled them to levitate in the void. The next moment, the ten discs flew out. It was like remotely guided missiles firing at the enemy. The speed of the discs was fast and they were undetectable.

Soon, the threat was eliminated and Shi Lang jumped off the building again, appearing beside Amelia. The couple discussed the matters with each other and they moved simply as if nothing happened. These ten men were sent by the Red Widow. She was not targeting Shi Lang, but all the military officers in the region were under the scrutiny of the syndicate.

However, for some reason, they all were emitting the intention to kill. Shi Lang knew this reason, it was because of the Syndicate heads being taken out, and in the absence of the top brass, the lower-level pawns wished to prove themselves and step up. However, they were nothing but clowns jumping on a beam.

...

Shi Lang spent his time attending the gathering and the crowd was jolly, he also danced with Amelia, and the people were surprised to see the highest-ranking officer be so humble and easygoing. Amelia also mingled with the female comrades and the atmosphere was jolly.

After dinner, the trio left the place and came to the hotel the family was staying. Shi Lang told Amelia about the movement that will be taking place in the morning and he asked her to be prepared to be approached for interviews and all.

The woman nodded, and Shi Lang went back to the warehouse. According to the data provided to him by the task force of combined secret divisions, they had three hundred targets to take down. Shi Lang approved the hits and left the warehouse to deal with the rats located in Elton City.

His speed was fast and the result was sure. The targets he dealt with were all high-table members of the Elton City Syndicate. The only person left was the Red Widow, who was presently cultivating in her house.

This upper echelon of the syndicate was cleaned up but she had no knowledge about that. She was immersed in her cultivation and probably that was why Darcx did not act against her. He was aware of the contact that Shi Lang found, and to think it was this woman. He did not mind it as long as the task was completed.

...

Shi Lang stood behind a lady, who was sitting on the floor with her eyes closed and immersed in cultivation completely. He smiled and then shook his head as he said, "Foolish."

The lady in the red woke up in an instant and reacted quickly. She stood up and turned around to face the person in her room. Shi Lang had his hands behind his back, the lady did not attack him but smiled, and asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Your charm does not work on me. Your yin physique is not yet strong enough."

The Red Widow's pupil contracted and Shi Lang said, "You have two choices, either work for me or die."

His red eyes were shining with a cold gleam, that made the woman freeze, she only realized now that this man was the one who imprinted this scripture in her mind, and she was benefitting a lot from it. At least that was what she thought, about the benefit.

Shi Lang said, "You might think that you are benefitting but despite it being mentioned in the sutra you lack the proper understanding and thus you are rushing things for momentary pleasure. Do you want to die so much? I can help you and I promise it will be painless."

The next moment his eyes gleamed and after five minutes Red Widow fell to the floor with her face pale. Shi Lang asked, "So what do you choose?"

The lady reacted quickly, "I submit, Lord."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Good choice."
