Chapter 1208: The Perfect Plan (1/2)

“Hmph! Fine! Don’t act like I’m the one begging here!” Akatziris raged as she sulked. Akatziris was not having it, not after she was the one who had begged Jiang Fei.

“Behave yourself, Akatziris. Ah Fei already listened and agreed to help. Mind you that there are limits to what he is capable of giving.” Ariel hissed.

“Huh? Behave myself, you say? If you have anything against my demeanor, why not do something about it?” Akatziris scoffed.

“Enough!” Jiang Fei barked at Akatziris as he moved to stop Ariel. Ariel might always be cool and composed at all times but that didn’t mean she would take a provocation like that without doing anything. Knowing well that Akatziris could provoke even the timid girl to act, Jiang Fei quickly stepped in. As much as he wanted to, there was no way he could allow anything to happen to the alliance between Akatziris and himself.

At this point, Jiang Fei felt like he had made the best decision ever having brought only Nina and Ariel. If Sylphy were there, she might have already beheaded Akatziris. No matter who emerged victorious, the true victor would be the Unknowns on Earth.

“Send us back,” Jiang Fei demanded after he had calmed Ariel down.

“Very well.” Akatziris nodded. She stood still for a moment, eyes glowing with faint blue light. Two seconds later, Jiang Fei, Nina, and Ariel were enveloped in the same bright light before they were teleported back to the same guest room they were in.

“Darling… Why do I get the feeling that she has been purposely trying to provoke you?” Ariel prompted.

“I wouldn’t know anything about that,” said Jiang Fei. Everything that happened in the game was not told to the girls. When asked about the reason behind Akatziris’ hostility toward Jiang Fei, he could not explain it properly.

“Ah Fei, how do you plan to deal with those people?” Nina asked out of the blue.

Jiang Fei paused to think but nothing came to mind.

“I don’t know yet. What I know is that we cannot afford to go against them before Braveheart is completed,” said Jiang Fei. He knew well enough that he had all the power he needed to completely destroy Akatziris if he wanted to. However, Akatziris had Braveheart in her hands. That was her chip. If anything went wrong, she could always surrender to the enemy Unknowns, taking the ship with her. If that ending came true, Jiang Fei will be in for a whole new kind of trouble.

“That’s true. Our main objective now is to seize control of the ship!” Ariel joined in. Once 0541 returned, the ship would definitely be in Jiang Fei’s hands. After that, it would be a snowball effect. Jiang Fei’s forces would reach its peak. With Jiang Fei in control of Namek’s most powerful battleship, orbiting Earth from space, nothing could rival Jiang Fei in terms of power then, not even Level 5 Metahumans or the Unknowns.

Hence, at this point, it all came down to energy. Jiang Fei needed to get his hands on more Energy Crystals and hasten the construction of Braveheart. Jiang Fei’s plan to assault the Unknowns’ base was viable at the beginning. The base was small and the Energy Crystals stored there would be little. Initially, that estimated amount would have been enough for Jiang Fei but since Akatziris has demanded a portion of that, Jiang Fei had to make an adjustment to his plan.

“Should we change our target?” Ariel chimed in.

“No. We stick to the plan,” said Jiang Fei adamantly. The base he was aiming for had the weakest defense force. Attacking it would have the highest success rate albeit having the lowest yield. Even so, Jiang Fei had planted his legs firmly in the plan.
