Chapter 1194: Stealing Energy (1/2)
Time flies when everyone was having fun. Everything was as cool as a cucumber. Jiang Fei and Hua Mulan were hitting it off and according to 0543’s analysis, Hua Mulan would be ready for transmigration to the real world.
Besides Hua Mulan, Jiang Fei had arranged for the revival of the rest of the New Saint’s Guard. Even though he already had more than a hundred lower-ranked martial artists under his wings, Jiang Fei could not befriend all of them. Even if he did, there was no absolute certainty that they would all be loyal to him. It was hard for them to earn Jiang Fei’s trust.
Truthfully speaking, Jiang Fei wanted nothing more than to grow his own troops but if he had included the Naga Priestesses, things would be messy. Or, in the worst-case scenario, bloodied. Jiang Fei was too worried about Isabella.
By the end of the week, Hua Mulan was ready for her revival but there was a problem. Energy. The one problem that would always come creeping back to him was the lack of energy. With the backup Teleportation Core, Jiang Fei was “earning” 100,000 Energy Crystal in a day. Even so, it was merely a drop of water compared to the sea of requirement.
Jiang Fei was prepared for the revival of the New Saint’s Guards. While courting Hua Mulan, he had also brought along a small group of female knights. These knights could never reach the limit of emotional attachment of Hua Mulan. They could never survive being subjected to a Level 5 body. Still, as long as Jiang Fei could get them to reach Infatuated level of relationship with him, he could revive all of them at the Pinnacle stage of Level 4.
Having mastered the technology of Bio-Human creation, Jiang Fei had already revived Hong Yu and her team of 20 or so soldiers to help him before. They were all completely left out during the war in the Winter Islands before Jiang Fei had deemed it so. They were too weak to do anything then. However, to compensate that disparity of power, Jiang Fei had prepared weapons for Hong Yu’s team, allowing them to gain stronger fighting power compared to the lower-ranking martial artists. Hong Yu and her team would be able to subdue any opponent, as long as they are not of Level 5.
“Ariel, Bella, I need both of you to accompany me for a bit. We are going to visit Akatziris,” said Jiang Fei. He was not confident enough to launch an attack, to steal the Unknown’s energy stash. Hence, he thought of having a shot with Akatziris, asking for her help once more.
“Darling! I would go too!” Sylphy shot to her feet and flash-stepped to Jiang Fei’s side.
“Be good. You and Nina are to stay back and guard the house. We will be back before you know it,” said Jiang Fei. To be honest, Jiang Fei had only wanted Ariel and Isabella to come because he loved them both more than the others, but that was not the sole reason.
Jiang Fei did not want to wrong Akatziris in any way. Taking Sylphy with him to visit her might only offend Akatziris since she was not used to having too many Level 5 coming with Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei was not going to risk it since Braveheart mk.2 was still in construction and in Akatziris’ possession. Jiang Fei wanted nothing more but to revive 0541 back by seizing control of the ship and taking over it as the ship’s official captain. Anything could go wrong and if Akatziris deemed it so, Jiang Fei could never set foot in the moon base.
That was why he had brought Isabella along. Akatziris might still be hovering in between ally and enemy status but Bella was her younger sister. The two share a bond that Jiang Fei could utilize. Sylphy, on the other hand, was a complete stranger. If things went south, she might ignore the diplomatic way of solving it and instead rely on her fist and dagger.
Ariel was brought along as insurance against Isabella herself. Even though Isabella was more than capable of teleporting, she was not as good as Ariel. In case of an ambush, Ariel could instantly teleport everyone back to Earth in a flash. Having to fight Akatziris and her men in the moon base would be dire since Jiang Fei, Ariel, and Isabella were still living beings.
