Chapter 669: Retrieving the Fruit

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

When Wang Zheng woke up on the second day, Huiyin had already left. Switching on his Skynet, there was no news about Huiyin entering the academy, it should still be a secret.

Huiyin had surprisingly entered Elitie Academy, and was now his junior, this was really... inconceivable.

After a hearty breakfast and a night’s rest, Zhang Shan had recovered his usual attitude, compared to the others who had never competed before. At the very least he had made it to the second round, hence today Zhang Shan was feeling rather satisfied. Thinking back on it, he was still considered to be rather strong.

“Wang Zheng, are you hiding something from me?” Zhang Shan suddenly asked.

Wang Zheng was taken aback for a second, “What?”

“Something’s not right, there must be something different.” Zhang Shan’s suspicious gaze continued staring at Wang Zheng, trying to sniff out the truth.

“Are you actually a dog?” Wang Zheng was also speechless as this point. Huiyin’s appearance had indeed shaken him. In fact, Wang Zheng was already a little uneasy when he heard that Aina might follow the delegation to watch the matches, but he thought that it was unlikely. However, he had not thought the Huiyin would have directly appeared.

Zhang Shan immediately jumped over to Wang Zheng, “Tell me honestly, who was the one who you spent the night with?!”

At this time, Oli and the rest had also come over. Oli was not as calm as Zhang Shan, and streaks of her tears could still be seen on the face. On the other hand, Lia and the rest were glad, since Wang Zheng was continuing forward. Being from the same academy, they might be chosen to complete certain tests together. In the best case, they may still have a chance when Wang Zheng would choose his supporting team in the future.

“Overnight, what overnight? Wang Zheng you already have a girlfriend?” Lia was quite a gossipmonger.

Wang Zheng did not know to laugh or cry. “Don’t listen to his crap, there’s no such thing.”

“However, you are definitely a popular person at the Huang Grade.” In fact, there were many early birds that were paying attention to him.

The Huang Grade student entering the third round, even if it was only by luck, would attract attention. Zhang Shan was unfortunate, as his trump card was shown early, his three step instantaneous movement once shown would be easily countered. Hence, he was unable to show any further results, as it was hard to win against these sly opponent. After all, his talent could not be compared to his opponent, and he still had to make up for it with his hard work.

Special abilities may create miracles, but they were easy to counter, there were pros and cons in each.

However, all the attention was quickly focused on Wang Zheng’s third round opponent, who was a Xuan Grade Class 1 expert from Vermillion Bird, Brother Domon.

Once they heard this name, the people from the other planets may not have any reactions, but Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan both did a spit take. Did Brother Domon and Simon have familial relations to each other?

Eisen could not understand the unique flavor of the Earthlings, and only briefly mentioned the glory of their Brother Domon. He was a celebrity in this years’ Vermillion Bird Academy, and was prepare to challenge Vermillion Bird’s ruler Hocatolin.

After a round of heated discussion, Wang Zheng ended up not having a match today. Everyone still had to attend classes as per normal, keeping up with the normal atmosphere. However, Wang Zheng had a normal composure on the battlefield, but it was the other issues that were distracting him.

The Starlight Club was lively as usual, as Yan Xiaosu had topped the funds they had back to full, causing the rich kids to constantly hound ‘Brother Yan’ for more activities.

Starlight Club was actually a huge club for the wealthy. Jasper was not the one in charge, in fact, he was merely taking care of a clique of friends. There were many such cliques within the club, and at the moment on Tita Star, there were three that were more influential.

Other than Jasper, Yan Xiaosu was also rapidly making friends with another two cliques. Coming to Tita Star, if it wasn’t to play, then it was to making some money. Although their cliques were different, everyone was still able to freely communicate.

Parties, flirting, hunting... Tyrant Su had finally witnessed how these people were enjoying their lives. Luckily, he had pretended to be one of the more old-fashioned people here, and was able to withstand it till the end, but this instead made the second and N generation kids even more in awe of him. Who was a real gentlemen? Brother Yan was!

Yan Xiaosu wanted to cry. Gentleman? Who wanted to be a gentleman? Who did not want to let their hair down! However, he still had to endure. His image had already been set in stone, and he could only control himself.

As for hunting, Yan Xiaosu had been living in the mountains. In the words of Shan Meng, the Baja was a good brother of Ada, and under Titan’s order, he had to protect him at all times.

It would be impossible for Yan Xiaosu to believe him, who would believe that the Tita giants had simple minds? Every time he went to the mountains, he had good wine, meat, and even cigars and other specialties from South America. How else could he brag about being on the shoulders of the giants?

Jasper and a group of people had all been convinced by Yan Xiaosu. However, not all of them were fooled, as every time they went hunting, that giant named Shan Meng had arrived. They had also understood that this mountain range did not house normal giants, but was one of the guardians of the Titan, and was even the first disciple of the Titan!

Yan Xiaosu’s connections was becoming even more mysterious. He had the love from Lan Ling, the attention from Mu Sen, and now even had the protection from the Titan...

In a single sentence, on Tita Star, Brother Yan was unparalleled.

“Brother Yan, after arriving at Tita Star for so long, do you have any ideas? Will you start a company or something?”

Today, after a belly full of food, Jasper exchanged a look with a few others, smiled and beckoned him to sit on the sofa.

If there was an opportunity, it was not unreasonable to say that gold was everywhere on Tita Star. However, if one had sufficient funding, money was bound to start rolling in. Why would brother come over to Tita Star? Was he really here to start a company?

In short, the super gravity ore was essential!

These people did not lack any money, and the act of making money itself was not urgent. What they needed to do was to prove their worth to their families back home and inherit the business. That was the most crucial point.

However, the Tita giants were not idiots. When it came to that resource, they had all guarded it strictly, and would not even budge.

It was necessary to have a relationship. Across this period of time, they were able to confirm that Yan Xiaosu had indeed built up a friendship with the natives.

If they wanted it to be a success, the business still had to go through Yan Xiaosu, in order to build a successful company.

Yan Xiaosu smiled and stretch his neck. At his side, a beauty poured a cup of tea for him, and after serving him, lightly said, “The company is a must to set up. However, we still have not grasped the specific direction that we want to develop in.”

What development direction was all a load of fart, the truth was that he lacked the capital. Originally when he arrived at Tita Star, he believed that it was filled with opportunities. However, he soon after realized that such opportunities were far too grand for him, and he was unable to take advantage of them. However, monopolizing such issues would just invite unwanted trouble.

However, Little Lucky Star was currently being forced to the brink. Yan Xiaosu was clear that the treatment they were enjoying was because of Wang Zheng. However, no matter how good their relationship was, he had to at least contribute something to it. It was necessary to achieve one of his major goals if he wished to continue on with this relation.

In the past, they had caused quite a bit of trouble. Although Little Lucky Star was fine now, he had made Wang Zheng lose face, and thus had to consider the current circumstances carefully.

If they wanted to play it big, Yan Xiaosu was clear on one point, there was no hope in relying on Little Lucky Star.

The opportunity was in the hands of these brothers. Of course, this was a matter of mutual benefit. For these second generation noveau riche, while they were rich, it was different from having their own personal wealth, since they were not the only heir apparent in their families.

However, it was not something that anyone with money could just participate in. As Yan Xiaosu was biding his time, he had been observing who was suitable as partners, and who were not.

It was not only their wealth, but he also had to take into account their character. Yan Xiaosu was not only observing Jasper’s clique over here, but also two others.

Jasper was also aware of this point, and had started to be a little anxious. The consensus of their circle was that no matter what their evaluation of Little Lucky Star was, befriending Yan Xiaosu would never go wrong. Today, he had taken the initiative to take the offensive, attempting to show that their clique was entirely supportive of him. No matter what, the first person to move would always leave a stronger impression.

Yan Xiaosu’s attitude made Jasper unable to hold it in any longer. However, he could still tolerate it, but the same could not be said for others, especially Pila, who was the second son of the Lonk Corporation. The possibility of him winning the affections of his father over his elder brother rested entirely on this expedition in Tita Star.

Mitchell was also in the same situation as Pila. Although he was the first in line, the competition between the heirs was still rather tight. If he were to retreat a single step, there was a possibility that he would lose his support.

The most carefree was Gabre, who was fifth in line to CK. After all, it would never be his turn to succeed, but was he truly satisfied? This was not an issue of money, but an issue of his position, and this group of heirs all wanted their own prestige and honor.

Pila glanced at Jasper, and sat over, “Brother Yan, if you have an opportunity, don’t forget about us bros.”

“Rest assured, us good brother will be loyal to each other. It’s just that the company hasn’t even formed.” Yan Xiaosu laughed.

Jasper also laughed along, “Brother Yan, regarding the setting up of the company, shouldn’t it be sooner rather than later? The chance is here, and no matter if a temporary company would be too hasty, it would at least give others a peace of mind.”

“That’s true.” Yan Xiaosu nodded his head.

Mitchell also sat upright, and his expression was serious, “Brother Yan, such things should be done immediately. Why not let’s set up a strategic co-operation company today. We’ve been open with each other and had already discussed beforehand. This first phase has already raised two billion dollars, but it still seems to be a little lacking. Don’t worry, you won’t have to contribute any money, just help with the public relations of the company. You will get fifty one percent of the shares, and the remaining forty nine will be shared amongst us. The contract will stipulate that no matter what happens, your portion of the shares will be unmovable.”

Yan Xiaosu’s expression was a little sullen...
