1477 It Will Be Fine (1/2)

0541 groaned, sounding panicked. ”What? What now?”

If he could, he would have rolled his eyes at Umbral Jiang Fei for making such a statement in dire times like this!

”What now? Who knows?” said Umbral Jiang Fei, shrugging nonchalantly before suddenly grinning. ”There is someone watching us from above. It will all be fine now.”

”What do you mean by that?!” barked 0541. He could not follow Umbral Jiang Fei's train of thought.

”As I said, all will be fine. My job is done and the rest should be alright. Goodbye!”

Umbral Jiang Fei laughed quietly as he faded away. The black smog that enveloped him disappeared, and when his eyes opened again, Jiang Fei was back.

”Huh? Where are we? How did we enter the palace grounds?”

Assuming that his alter ego would take him somewhere safe, he thought that his problems would be solved by the time he was back in control. The last thing he expected was for his alter ego to ditch him when the situation got out of hand.

As the alter ego was gone, so was the power he held, restoring Jiang Fei's original combat level. Even though having a combat level of four million at his age was a commendable feat, it mattered not, unless he could somehow gain at least 4 times the combat level right then and there!

”I… I… I don't know either!” 0541 shrieked.

His confidence in Umbral Jiang Fei was never strong to begin with, but 0541 assumed that he was at least capable of handling difficult situations. That assumption was quickly replaced with one of blatant incompetence when he dug a deep hole, placed Jiang Fei there, and left without even providing a rope for him to escape!

As Umbral Jiang Fei left, all the soldiers who went berserk earlier returned to their normal selves. Right now, there was no way Jiang Fei could defeat an army of tens of thousands of royal guards, much less the three super-powered old men.

”Dammit! Dammit! He left us to die!” thought 0541.

Despite being frustrated by the fact that Umbral Jiang Fei left them for dead, 0541 did not forget about the secret of his true nature. For what it was worth, Umbral Jiang Fei was a necessary existence. Telling Jiang Fei the truth now would cause the two of them to fuse into one being again.

”By the way, you haven't told me your name,” said Aurelia.

Her hands were tightly wrapped in Jiang Fei's. Something about him made her feel that he was not the same person she encountered before.

Turning around, Jiang Fei noticed that he was holding hands with an extremely breathtaking woman who was dressed in an equally breathtaking wedding gown.

He was fully aware that they were in danger, but his natural instincts quickly calmed him down. His pride as a man would not allow him to get flustered in the presence of a woman, especially a beautiful one.

”Alright.”

The way he smiled and the look of confidence on his face made her feel all tingly, but not in a positive way. Everything about this man was different from the one before.

The man earlier, although devious and filled with malicious thoughts, had a certain charm to him. His look of confidence was one that only someone overwhelmingly confident could have. Right now, Jiang Fei's expression and smile were utterly repusive to her.

”Perhaps, the enemy is too strong and he lost his composure…” she thought.

She knew the three archbishops well enough to know that they were three of the strongest beings on Alderaan. Jiang Fei was strong, but he had not reached their level yet as he was still too young.
