Chapter 877: I Am a Hero (2/2)
…
George soon arrived with his men. Ee Chen, Ali, and their friends also tagged along. The general atmosphere was celebratory when they saw that Xinghe's group was safe and sound.
When they saw Xinghe's group, tears welled up in their eyes, like it was a reunion after a long time. They had only been apart for less than ten days, but it felt like decades.
”Xinghe, you guys are wonderful, I am so proud of you!” Ali said excitedly.
Before Xinghe could say anything, Sam lifted his chin slightly and gloated, ”Now you finally realize how wonderful your big brother is!”
Ali replied snidely, ”I was talking to Xinghe, and not you.”
”Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, but do not worry, I can feel your admiration toward me just fine,” the thick-skinned Sam said. Even though people were making jokes at his expense, no one dismissed him because he was worthy of all the praise they lavished on him.
George led his men to check up on the fleet of spaceships, and he also went to greet Shi Jian and his men who had come from the moon. Then he said to Xinghe respectfully, ”Miss Xia, the cars are all ready, we can depart any moment now.”
Xinghe enquired, ”Have you found the rest of the spaceships?”
”Don't worry, they have all been accounted for. There are people who were assigned to intercept them.”
Xinghe nodded. ”Good, then we shall leave now.”
”Please!”
Just like that, Xinghe's group got into the arranged cars and left the scene.
