Chapter 902 (2/2)

Shen Yue had been promoted by the military as one of the most important military leaders of the younger generation, and she had also been selected as a member of this new parliament. At the same time, she had been transferred back to the military to undertake an important position.

Shen Yue's brows furrowed slightly as she replied, ”It's going to be very difficult for Shrek Academy to be rebuilt. Even if the academy does get rebuilt, so what? Shrek Academy's roots have already been destroyed, and the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion is also gone. Even if it does get rebuilt, it won't be the number one academy on the continent that it once was.”

Even though Shen Yue was a graduate of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy, thereby making her one of Shrek Academy's rivals, she was still filled with grief after receiving news that the academy had been wiped off the face of the continent.

In a sense, Shrek City was already one of the symbols that represented the Douluo Continent. To the government, an independent and neutral ent.i.ty that was as powerful as Shrek City was a constant source of pressure, but to the general public and many other powers, Shrek City was an important beacon of diplomacy.

Now that Shrek Academy was gone, it would definitely be a lot easier for the federal government to exert control over the entire continent, but at the same time, there would no longer be any ent.i.ties capable of supervising the government and keeping them accountable for their actions. From a long-term perspective, this was not a good thing.

Shen Yue wasn't part of the military's Eagle Faction. Instead, she was leaning more toward the Dove Faction, which promoted defending the continent against external threats when they arose rather than actively waging wars. This recent terrorist attack has been one of unprecedented proportions, and the Eagle Faction's popularity had risen significantly as a result, but the Dove Faction had also taken the opportunity to secure some territory. Shen Yue was none other than one of the representatives being championed by the Dove Faction.

Now that the Eagle Faction had gained the firm upper hand, Shen Yue was very concerned that the continent would be plunged into turmoil and unrest in the future. As a high-ranking military official, she was naturally aware of the fact that there were many voices calling for the unification of the entire planet. From a soul technology advancement perspective alone, the Douluo Continent had indeed always been the frontrunner.

Shen Xing was looking at her concerned sister, but her heart had already drifted elsewhere. That one face had been cemented deep into her mind. She could never forget the man who had plagued her nightmares virtually every single day for a period of time.

Was he dead as well? Had he also perished during that attack? If so, then she wouldn't even get a chance to take her revenge on him.

However, she had been feeling very depressed for some reason, and her entire mental state had been quite lackl.u.s.ter for a very long time.

……

A man and a woman walked hand-in-hand along a wide street. Both of their bodies were quite tall and graceful, but their appearances were very ordinary. The young man was over 190cm with a set of wide shoulders, a slim athletic waist, and a pair of muscular arms. The young woman was also quite tall and slender, and her long legs were particularly eye-catching. However, her skin was rather dark, and her appearance was also extremely mundane.

”We're here.” The young man pointed at a teahouse up ahead before entering with the young woman.

The young woman opened her mouth to say something, but repressed the urge to do so in the end. However, an involuntary pout appeared on her face, and she seemed to be quite displeased.

After entering the teahouse, the two of them were immediately greeted by a waiter.

”A table for two?”

The young man nodded, and said, ”We'd like some Da Hong Pao tea.” [Da Hong Pao is a very famous tea brand in China.]

The waiter's expression changed ever so slightly, and he asked, ”How many soaks would you like?”

The young man replied, ”Three soaks would be perfect; any more than that and the tea would end up tasting completely bland.”

”Alright, please come with me.” The waiter turned and made his way up the stairs as he spoke.

The young man and woman followed him up the stairs.

The waiter didn't say anything else, and he merely led them onto the second level before walking all the way to the conclusion of a corridor. All of a sudden, he gently pressed a hand against the wall, and it suddenly split open to reveal a door.

The waiter then made an inviting hand gesture, and the young man entered through the door with the young woman.

They found themselves in a tea room, and there was already someone waiting for them in there. He was seated on a futon with his legs crossed behind a tea table, and he said in a calm voice, ”Take a seat.”
