Chapter 974: Choosing Xiao Fei

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On Earth, due to the competition between Zeus College and Ares College, this match had already drawn unparalleled attention. It wasn’t about conquering and ruling over the Milky Way Alliance. Based on the management on Earth, people were more fond of first determining who the boss was.

From IG to Elite Academy, the battle for supremacy between Wang Zheng and Lear had reached a critical point. As the two most well known military colleges on Earth, the competition had always been very intense. However, with the strong performances by Wang Zheng and Lear on the international stage, these had ignited the burning desire for glory among the people from Earth.

The match between the Saruman Snake battle team and the Dynasty battle team would be the first time Wang Zheng and Lear would face off against each other. The topic on who would be victorious had already made countless students feel crazy.

In Ares College, Principal Xiao Fei would definitely not let this opportunity slide away. She firmly believed that Wang Zheng was much stronger than Lear and that he would definitely win this battle. Therefore, the college definitely wasn’t showing weakness in the pre-battle publicity. Xiao Fei let the students have free reign over how they would like to raise the publicity level. This battle would also have great influence for Ares College in the military aspect.

Clearly, this was sensationalising the battle. As a military college, strength was obviously still important. However, this college also needed to be attractive to draw in outstanding talents. Because of Wang Zheng, Master Xiao Fei could at least not worry about recruiting students.

As for now, what Ares College had to do was attract more elites.

The crisis of Tita Star had been resolved and the KING Company had finally entered a stable phase. Xiao Fei had also gradually let go of the operations and managed them together with Ye Zisu. She was worrying about another matter currently.

On that day, Xiao Fei met an unexpected person. He was her idol, the target and role model that she had been chasing after. He was a noble physicist and was also the noblest scientist of the current generation, Alan Tucker.

He was a legend, and this guy was, surprisingly, still alive!

Although this person did not talk about it, Xiao Fei still believed in her judgment. She had finally understood why Wang Zheng had such an astonishing physics foundation and outlook. There was only one person in the world that could do it, and there was no one else.

With regards to Wang Zheng, Xiao Fei couldn’t describe her feelings. He was her student, business partner, a man, a friend, and others. She only knew that they would be entangled for life. The appearance of Old Merchant had revealed a new side to it.

In this world, there’s the existence of an organization; an organization that was terrifying and strong.

In this world, there were actually numerous such organizations, and Xiao Fei at least knew about many of them. Which countries didn’t have some secret organizations under them? However, the one Old Merchant told her about had a history of several centuries and went beyond the national level. It had control over tremendous resources and technologies and had infiltrated into various countries, including the Solar System and Earth. No one knew its objectives and its roots.

A scientist like Old Merchant had managed to hide from the Milky Way Alliance but still failed to hide from this organization. The truth was, it didn’t matter to Old Merchant. This organization had the technology, funding, and even unimaginable strength. He had even thought of using his own strength to help Wang Zheng achieve his goals.

However, the deeper he was involved and as his importance grew, he gradually found the structure of this organization rather strange. It seemed to be focused on finding some sort of a successor and eradicating other successors.

And up till now, the candidate from Earth was Lear. In that case, the other people would be in a very dire state. Although this wasn’t absolute, the current situation was at least as described. It was especially so as Lear would obtain some unimaginable resources.

What Old Merchant needed Xiao Fei to do was for her to be his contact person in a single directional way. The precedence was for Xiao Fei to trust him.

To Old Merchant, Wang Zheng was his only kin and his only child. The reason why he was alive was because he hoped for Wang Zheng to achieve his goals. No matter if he was to become a scientist or warrior, neither of the routes would be a smooth and ordinary one.

And Wang Zheng would need helpers around him.

If it wasn’t Alan Tucker and was another other person, Xiao Fei would have thought they the person was crazy. However, this was Alan Tucker, an existence that was a cornerstone of science, the one who had the highest understanding of physical space and a god of the scientific world.

It was clear that there were many things that Old Merchant couldn’t say, and Xiao Fei was willing to do it for him. This allowed her to feel that she wasn’t separated from Wang Zheng. Old Merchant had chosen her not only because he trusted her but mainly because he believed in her.

Xiao Fei’s personality was full of adventurous and inquisitive vibes. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen this route. This required high intelligence, high emotional quotient, and supreme genetics. What Xiao Fei was afraid of was stoppage. This was because once she stopped, she wouldn’t know what to do. If she was only a political figurehead or principal of a military school, it would only be a matter of time till she left. However, after interacting with Old Merchant, it had helped her to open up a brand new world and a new outlook of spatial physics.

The level where Old Merchant and Xiao Fei conversed at would definitely be higher than the level between Old Merchant and Wang Zheng. Xiao Fei’s foundation was much greater than Wang Zheng’s after all.

The single directional contact between Old Merchant and Xiao Fei would be kept low profile on purpose in order to complete some matters. The current Wang Zheng and what he possessed were still too fragile. Wang Zheng had to grow and become stronger.

Obviously, there’s a secret that Old Merchant would not speak of. Only Wang Zheng knew of it in this world – the Rubik’s Cube.

This thing might very well be what the organization had been looking for and wanted to destroy in secret. Conceptually, they weren’t looking for the Rubik’s Cube and were just looking for something similar. In their understanding, it might appear in any form. However, based on Old Merchant’s judgment, it should be this.

This was some form of succession for a mysterious power. The decision of the organization was to obtain it or destroy it. They would never allow an outsider to be in control of it.

Old Merchant was feeling a little remorseful for handing the Rubik’s Cube to Wang Zheng. However, it was too late. Not only was Wang Zheng in possession of it, he was even in control of this power. Although this had given Wang Zheng magical powers, based on the current observations from Old Merchant, this was completely insignificant in front of the organization.

Old Merchant was indeed Old Merchant. If there’s no way out, then going forward was the only way. It was similar to his past, and he had to go through it together with Wang Zheng no matter how it might turn out in the future.

Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be enough if it was just him. Among the people around Wang Zheng, Old Merchant had chosen Xiao Fei.

She would be the easiest to communicate with, and Xiao Fei was the same kind of person as he was.

Recently, the financial sector of the Solar System was in a buzz. Spatial technology company KING possessed the most outstanding spatial technology team. It could also be considered as top notch within the Milky Way Alliance. OMG Company was a new superpower in the military supplies industry. It possessed extremely strong research and development capabilities and had created the spatial movement box. It was also the most well-known mecha company in the Solar System currently. Little Lucky Star started off as a consumer product company but had a development trail that was moving miraculously quick. As the largest foreign investor to the Tita Star, it had practical control over fifty percent of all investment projects on Tita Star. Its strength was astonishing.

The three companies were to merge officially and undergo reorganization to form a brand new KO Group. The group’s chairman would be Ye Zisu, while Yan Xiaosu would become the vice-chairman. The two of them would also be the major shareholders of KO Group at the same time. Since the completion of the merger of KO Group, its share price had shot up substantially. A lot of professional investors had high regards for the growth potential of KO Group.

At the same time, the KO Group had also announced their first major project after the merger, and that was to form the KO Tita Business Organization. They were looking at creating an all-rounded interstellar investment and research organization.
