Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Fei was able to get Dark Faction ident.i.ties for Sylphy and the female soldiers from the Nephilim King Augustus. As such, they would be able to communicate openly with the soldiers in the Demon Flame Fortress.
After everything was sorted out, Jiang Fei saw that it was about time to leave. After chatting with Isabella for a while, he logged out of the game.
After returning to the real world, as Jiang Fei no longer had to pretend to go to school, he did not need to get out of bed immediately. He lied on his bed and started to come up with a new strategy for his next steps.
“0541, do you have any good suggestions?” Jiang Fei asked.
“Searching for Braveheart’s Fragments is still our main priority. However, I suggest that you find more energy before we start looking for the Fragments. Otherwise, if we are engaged in a difficult battle during our search for Braveheart’s Fragments, I might not be able to a.s.sist you!” 0541 said.
“Haih! I understand. However, looking for energy is so annoying!” Jiang Fei shook his head. 0541’s current urgent request for energy was not its first. However, Jiang Fei would not be able to solve this problem until they find Braveheart’s engine room.
“Should I get Han Tianyu to think of solutions for me?” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself. Han Tianyu’s Manda Group had a lot of capabilities in producing nuclear weapons. However, they only had the right to produce but not use them. They would have to hand the produced goods over to the government after the creation process.
However, since they could produce the resources, Han Tianyu must have some of the nuclear materials. Despite that, Han Tianyu would probably not have enough for 0541 which consumed mountain-loads of energy at one go.
“Forget it. I’ll ask Han Tianyu later in the morning. If he could locate a storage full of enriched energy resources from the j.a.panese, that would be the best case scenario!” Jiang Fei finally made up his mind.
The j.a.panese’s threat was getting serious. If they really could not locate their nuclear energy storage, Jiang Fei would have to think of other ways by reaching out to the European Vatican.
At around eight o’clock, Jiang Fei finally got out of bed. By then, his parents had already woken up. Jiang Fei could smell food when he exited his room.
“Little Fei, it’s time to wake up. Get ready for breakfast!” His mother said happily. Ever since the kidnapping incident, she appeared extremely happy when she saw everyone safely at home each morning.
After breakfast, Jiang Fei said to his parents, “Dad, Mom, I am going out for a while. I won’t be coming back for lunch. I’ll probably be back only at night.”
“Where are you going? Will it be dangerous?” Jiang Fei’s mother asked worriedly. Whenever Jiang Fei went out, she would feel very concerned.
“It’s nothing serious. I am only heading upstairs to discuss something with Han Tianyu.” Jiang Fei laughed.
“Oh! Then I will prepare dinner for when you return!” When she heard that Jiang Fei was not leaving Manda Square, Jiang Fei’s mother finally relaxed.
After walking out from his house, Jiang Fei went directly to the 108th floor, which was where Han Tianyu’s office was located. As usual, he nodded at the secretary before entering the office.
“Ah! You are here, Ah Fei. If you didn’t come, I would have headed over to look for you!” Han Tianyu did not complain about Jiang Fei barging into his office. Clearly, he needed to see Jiang Fei for something urgent.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Fei asked, confused.
“Somebody wants to meet you.” Han Tianyu said as he pointed at the sky.
“Why does he or she want to meet me?” Jiang Fei looked even more confused. He understood what Han Tianyu said. The person who wanted to meet him must be one of the superiors in the government.
“The j.a.panese’s plot is too terrifying this time. The government wishes to cooperate with the Martial Art Alliance,” Han Tianyu said.
“Then let them speak to the Martial Art Alliance. Why do they want to see me?” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes.
“They have already engaged the Martial Art Alliance. They primarily want to meet you because your background isn’t any different from the Martial Art Alliance…” Han Tianyu laughed as he spoke.
“Oh…” Jiang Fei understood what Han Tianyu meant right away. He had been pretending to such an extent that everyone believed his master Zhuge Shanzhen was truly formidable. Not only was he himself a Level 5 Metahuman, he even had a Level 5 Metahuman as a disciple.
Since Zhuge Shanzhen did not belong to the Martial Art Alliance, and now that the j.a.panese’s threat was getting more serious, the government naturally wanted to reach out to Zhuge Shanzhen through Jiang Fei who was his disciple.
“Forget about meeting them. I would prefer to communicate through you!” Jiang Fei hesitated before declining the offer altogether. Although it was not very respectful behavior, Jiang Fei did not have much of a choice.
Jiang Fei knew his true status very well. He could not even play tricks against people like Han Tianyu, let alone a bunch of old cunning professional diplomats. In less than half an hour, they would probably be able to figure out that Jiang Fei was lying about a lot of things.
To prevent his ident.i.ty from being exposed, Jiang Fei decided to stay away from those cunning experts.
“Alright then!” Han Tianyu did not try to convince Jiang Fei. After all, Jiang Fei was no longer the naive young boy he once knew. When Han Tianyu did not know about Jiang Fei’s background, he had brought him to meet Chen Kaiyin out of the blue. Han Tianyu still regretted his decision to this day.
Providing potions to the military group at a low price had always bugged Han Tianyu. This was the only thing which Han Tianyu felt guilty toward Jiang Fei. Although Jiang Fei had never brought it up, Han Tianyu was worried that Jiang Fei would distance himself from Han Tianyu because of that incident.
Therefore, when Jiang Fei said he did not want to meet the government superiors, Han Tianyu thought that Jiang Fei was still upset about the previous incident. He was worried Jiang Fei might think the government wanted to exploit him again.
In all honesty, Jiang Fei had long forgotten about the incident of providing potions to the military group. After all, he only provided the cheap potions once or twice. Moreover, to Jiang Fei, it did not cost a lot to produce the potions. Although Han Tianyu thought he had been cheated, Jiang Fei did not care about the matter at all.
As a student who did not have much experience in society, Jiang Fei did not prioritize money. Even after Jiang Fei had left school, he only mixed with people in the Metahuman circle. Therefore, he did not really care about riches and fame of the world. He did not even spend a single dime of the billions that Han Tianyu and the Zhang family had paid him for the potions.
As Jiang Fei could not share his concerns with Han Tianyu, Han Tianyu naturally could not clarify his misunderstandings. However, this was not all bad for Jiang Fei. Due to the misunderstanding, Han Tianyu would work even harder to block off the pressure from the government superiors. Moreover, now that Jiang Fei’s background was so deeply affirmed, the government superiors would not dare to pressure him too much either.
“Oh right, I came to find you for something.” Although Jiang Fei rejected the meeting with the government superiors, he still needed to discuss the matter of energy with Han Tianyu.
“What’s it about?” Han Tianyu.
“Do you have uranium?” Jiang Fei asked in a straight-forward manner.
