Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 380 Who Is The Fisherman?
Shi Lang and Crystal returned to the hotel after dealing with the people in the club and the entire team gathered around them. The first thing Shi Lang did was to tell Crystal to change into comfortable clothing. The men would lose it if they were exposed to her. He sighed and replied, "What are you people kicking up the storm for?"
The people calmed down, Shi Lang spoke while undoing his tie and asked, "That fucking leader of the mercenaries is too cunning."
He went on to tell the people about what was going on and the clue they had obtained. Jill said, "Boss, are we not being too presumptuous here? You know, dragging one of the big five into this mess? Would it not be easier to ask their chancellor to help us get to the mercenaries?"
Shi Lang shook his head and tapped on his communicator. A projection in the center of the room attracted the attention of the people. Shi Lang said, "The people who died under their hands are of varying races, but the people from the Ikeras clan, are listed MIA. Meaning, even their remains were not found. While the people think these mercenaries have a special hatred for Ikeras, they are actually helping them."
The people were confused and Shi Lang said, "Aran, find me the details of these missing people in the galactic crime database."
Aran nodded and began to work quickly. The Strike force could access all the criminal records in the galaxy. Although the search was narrowed down to Ikeras, the system still took half an hour to find the relevant details. The results were shocking.
The people on the missing list were all wanted for all sorts of crimes. Shi Lang smirked and said, "Run these faces through facial recognition and they will all be alive and well."
Aran was quick to follow and said, "Boss, it will take days for this data to come through."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Leave these searches in the mainframe of the Strike force. Have them do some work for us. Well, seal this for the commander. I do not want any Ikeras cronie to be nosy."
Aran nodded and Shi Lang said, "Go play, I need to cultivate, I am bored."
Sonic said, "Boss, you are truly different, who cultivates when they are bored. You should come out with us to grab a few drinks."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not want to become a hooligan like you Sonic, your sister-in-law prefers me in line." fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
The people laughed and Shi Lang walked back to his room. He contacted Amelia to check on the progress of the people there.
...
Amelia was looking at the students from Shi Lang's special class sparing with each other. Suddenly, she saw a figure shuttling between three students, and they were having a hard time dealing with her. Amelia smiled faintly as she shook her head.
Her communicator shook gently and she picked it up. She saw Shi Lang smiling at her. She gave him a signal to stay quiet and the boy nodded. Then she made a swiping gesture and Shi Lang saw the students sparing with each other, and then his gaze landed on the small girl fighting with three people at the same time.
Although the competition was tough and the girl was being pushed back sometimes, she would learn from her mistake and quickly move against the opponents. Suddenly, Amelia said, "Alright, that is enough for today."
The students stopped and fell on the ground, Amelia opened the speaker and Shi Lang asked, "How many hours have you been grinding them, you beautiful demon?"
Amelia raised her brows and asked, "Who is the beautiful demon?"
Shi Lang replied with a coy tone, "Ofcourse it is you. The charm of a demoness you have and it has got me spellbound."
Amelia snorted and with a faint blush she said, "Have you forgotten that I am still in class?"
The students on the side were all surprised to see Shi Lang's hologram. The young general did not answer her questions and said, "Looks like, by the time I come back, my princess would have you lackeys wiping the floors."
The students all bowed their heads and Shi Lang said, "Have you all forgotten what you promised me? If you all did not reach that level, you will be disqualified from the guardian division."
Then his hologram turned face to look at the shocked Shi Tao at the side, and said, "You have gotten a lot stronger. Keep working at it, but do not over-exert yourself. However, if you get the chance, then beat these weaklings up and do not hold back."
Shi Tao nodded, and Amelia shook her head. Shi Lang then gave them all some pointers. Amelia isolated the voice again and they talked for a few minutes before the lady went back to class.
...
Shi Lang closed the communicator and started to cultivate. He did not wake up for days before the door was knocked. The young general opened his crimson eyes and walked out of the door he asked, "What happened?"
Jill replied, "Boss, Ikeras have entered the space."
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "You have been monitoring the place?"
Jill nodded and said, "It has been five days since you started cultivating, they arrived late."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Well, they could not have rushed at me like a horde of ants charging at honey. It will be too obvious. Commander Harley is not a fool, she must have prepared some contingencies for this."
Jill nodded and said, "What shall we do now?" fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
Shi Lang sighed and said, "Let me look for me, you guys check out and stay in the wilderness, I will lead them out of the city."
Jill nodded, and then she went to relay the plan to the entire team. The ace division was fast to act, as they all moved away. In the meantime, Shi Lang spread his spiritual sense around the entire city and found that the situation outside was akin to a city-wide evacuation.
He looked at the latest news and found that the people did not even mind spending a few million credits to buy the whole city under the name of a redevelopment project. He circulated his spirit energy inside the storage tattoo and took out his space ring.
He did not want this ring to get lost in any of his fights, so he kept it inside. After putting on the ring, he took out his sword and battlesuit. He quickly geared up and prepared to meet the enemy head-on.
He sensed at least seven people with weapons, three fully armed mechas. These mechs were all different from the ones in the strike force. Shi Lang checked his communicator and found that the connection was isolated. However, he did not detect his team members in the city so that was a relief.
He did not know if they were able to deal with Mechas without any phaser weapon, so he did not want to risk their lives. This entire plan was an excuse from the beginning. He vanished from his room, and when he next appeared he was standing on the roof of the hotel. His sight was locked on the three people approaching the place at high speed.
He could hear them talking on their communicators, phrases like, target acquired, and approaching.
He shook his head and then he flickered again, this time he appeared in front of the three people team and he asked, "Is someone important from the clan leading you?"
The other party was surprised, they did not expect this guy to approach them and even ask such a question. They were not stupid and asked, "You are targeting a high official? How dare you?"
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I am asking so that I can get away from your murders. If it is someone from the high level, he might be able to handle me, but you measly ones. Since you ask such questions means, no high official is here."
Then Shi Lang's sword flashed and three headless corpses fell to the ground. Shi Lang picked up the weapons and gears in his space ring. These will be given to the team later.
Shi Lang moved around, dealt with the seven people with ease, and then took down the Mecha after climbing on top of the machine. He entered the chamber and then he killed the pilots. He also ruined the cockpits of the mechs to prevent them from being re-used in a short term of time.
Just when he thought this batch of people was useless, a sense of threat emerged from behind him, and without looking back, he vanished from his spot. He appeared a few meters away, only to see that a lady stood in the void.
She had long golden hair and a cold face, with one eye covered with a black gloomy eyepatch. The lady said, "You are the fish?"
Shi Lang smirked and said, "You think of yourself as the fisherman?"
The lady tilted her head and said, "We shall see, who is the fisherman."
