Chapter 529 (1/2)
Chu Yunsheng also didn’t expect to see Tan Ning here. But his eyes just glanced past her and then s.h.i.+fted back to the holograms, that displayed the situation outside again, as if he did not know her.
Chu Yunsheng did not know and did not want to know how much Tan Ning knew about the plan that lured him to that isolated island twenty years ago.
Even if he wanted to know, he did not believe that they would tell him the truth.
In order to appease Chu Yunsheng, Huan had ordered the arrest and detention of heaven’s messenger No. 2. He did it in front of Chu Yunsheng in the command s.h.i.+p. The mysterious heaven’s messenger No. 1, which had never appeared before, eventually chose to stay silent. Many people, therefore, expected that sooner or later, heaven’s messenger No. 2 would be executed.
It was said that Shu Du city had already sent people to “supervise the execution”. In addition to Chu Yunsheng, they were probably the most active force in the execution of the No. 2 heaven’s messenger.
After a moment of silence, Tan Ning said to Huan, “Lord Huan, the cannon is ready to fire!”
Chu Yunsheng looked at Huan with surprise. It was the first time for him to hear someone calling Huan this way.
Huan laughed and ridiculed himself, “I was given this t.i.tle because of the things I did in the battle that happened a long time ago. My one is pretty common at that time. But the one laying inside that coffin is a true lord!”
“True lord?” Chu Yunsheng looked at the cube and suddenly looked at Huan again and said, “You like her!”
Huan was stumped for a second and then laughed, “who do you think I am? Lord Jing was… Sigh, you won’t believe it… Anyway, if I dare to have the slightest intention towards her, who is the eternal pride of the Ice Race, those people from the Ice Race would rip me apart!”
Just when Chu Yunsheng was thinking what he meant by that, Huan’s face suddenly dropped and said sternly, “I know what you mean, the woman I loved, no one can replace her position in my heart! No one! If she were the one that was lying inside that coffin, I wouldn’t be standing here watching other people attack that cube, I would be out there doing it myself. I would probably lose my mind just like that young man Yao Xiang .”
Hearing his words, Tan Ning looked at Chu Yunsheng with a complex expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
Chu Yunsheng fell silent. Huan’s words reminded him of someone in the past. Although so many years had pa.s.sed, he didn’t why, sometimes, he could still remember some people clearly.
Looking at Chu Yunsheng’s reaction, Huan frowned and hesitated for a moment. But eventually, he still said, ” Chu, originally, I did not want to tell you. But… Just a friendly reminder, and consider this as a prepayment for using your swarm. The resistance force is not as easy as what you think it is. During the time of your disappearance, there were reports about them searching for anyone that was still alive and was related to you, and taking them away. In terms of that their commander… Just be careful…”
After saying that, and before Chu Yunsheng even asked him why, he said to Tan Ning, “fire it!”
Tan Ning nodded and before her hologram image disappeared, she took a quick glance at Chu Yunsheng one more time…
The all the communication channels were filled with a nervous female countdown voice,
“Ten”
“Nine”
…
“Two”
“One”
“Fire!”
Then all the hologram screens were filled with blue light. Outside the aircraft, a gigantic blue beam that contained a tremendous amount of energy was heading towards the cube at an incredible speed.
