Chapter 551 Amess Curiosity (2/2)
Boom!
The next moment, the force field exploded, and a larger wave shot out in all directions. Like a stone being thrown into a lake, the dust on the ground rippled outward and formed a dust cloud that could reach one's thighs.
Han Xiao's hair was blown into a mess, and with a gust of wind blowing in his face, he could not help but squint.
Ames then appeared from a small door by the side of the throne and sat on the throne. She was once again dressed in a long, purple dress with her hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her delicate beauty was like a face that was frozen in time, and not the slightest wrinkles could be seen. Holding her chin with her hand, her sleeves slid down her forearm and revealed her snow-white wrist as she looked at Han Xiao with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
”The first time I saw you, you were almost crushed by my force field. I used the exact same strength previously, and you are now able to block it easily. It has only been two years; the speed of your growth has truly shocked me.”
Ames laughed, and her lazy voice sounded with the unique hoarseness of a lady.
The moment the force field appeared, Han Xiao knew that this was Ames testing him. If it was before he entered the universe, it would have been extremely difficult for him to block such an attack. However, he was able to do so now without any pressure.
Ames' charisma was too stunning, and Han Xiao could not help but be astounded by her beauty every time he saw her. However, he was extremely experienced and quickly took a look at Ames' washboard figure. His heart immediately calmed down, and he nodded.
”Lord Dragon Emperor, what did you wish to see me for?”
”Didn't I say before? You can call me Ames.” Ames' lips twitched. ”Actually, it isn't much. Recently, Jenny has been protesting against you expanding the Field Team. Let me ask you, what are your thoughts?”
Of the four beyond Grade A Supers in the Shattered Star Ring, Floating Dragon Island was the weakest. With Han Xiao expanding his forces, there were many organizations in Shattered Star Ring that misunderstood his intentions. They felt that the Dragon Emperor wanted to mimic the other three beyond Grade A Supers and expand her own forces to make them an untouchable existence. Ames was not too bothered by their thoughts, and she was not interested in the other organizations.
Originally, she did not care about Han Xiao expanding his mercenary group and silently consented to Han Xiao using her name. Furthermore, she had always given him a great deal of trust.
However, Jenny always complained about this matter, and the reason for her rejection made Ames dumbfounded. Jenny said that Han Xiao's expansion had resulted in a chain effect, and all the other organizations are trying to show their goodwill and work out their intentions. As a result, her workload was many times greater than before. With the pressure of work being unbearable, she was losing hair every day and felt as though she was aging rapidly. Thus, she strongly opposed Han Xiao's actions. She even added that if Ames did not want to hire another manager, Ames should not allow Black Star to expand his forces any further.
Thus, Ames wanted to know Han Xiao's thoughts. She personally did not care about the outcome. If Han Xiao had a reasonable plan, Ames would not mind supporting him. In any case, Aesop, who had been caught by Han Xiao, was currently spending his retirement on Floating Dragon Island, and he would be the best choice to share the workload with Jenny.
Hearing that, Han Xiao was moved.
”Do you remember Aroshia?”
Ames thought for a while. ”She is an undying Space Wonder. I saw her on the island before, and even I couldn't kill her. You were the one who took her away, right?”
”I found millions of Space Wonders with the same special physique as her. Furthermore, they are all full of potential, and it is possible to communicate with them like normal beings.”
”Millions‽” Ames was stunned, and a curious gaze could be seen in her eyes.
”They are from my hometown and appeared a couple of years ago. I have a feeling that they will become a force in the universe that cannot be underestimated. Thus, I want to recruit them early.” Han Xiao did not lie. He understood the players' potential, and his tone was filled with confidence.
”There is actually something so fun!” Ames said joyfully. ”I have to take a look personally.”
Han Xiao's mouth cramped up, and he immediately felt a headache coming on.
He had dug a hole for himself this time. While bringing Ames with him would be a form of insurance, his return this time was to find an excuse to bring out the mutation source. If Nagakin ended up asking Ames about this, would he not be exposed?
Coughing, Han Xiao tried to persuade her otherwise. ”Ames, DarkStar and Godora are fighting again, and the situation in the Garton Star System is pretty complicated. My hometown is part of this mess as well. Why don't you come after this mess is over?”
”DarkStar again? What's there to be afraid of?” Ames said with dissatisfaction. ”I hate waiting. I will return with your spaceship. If DarkStar dares appear, I will smash them to bits.”
Han Xiao slapped his forehead and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It seems like DarkStar is in for a ride again.
He truly did not intend to call Ames over this time!
…
Jenny returned to her office. Taking off her spectacles, she rubbed the bridge of her nose and let out a sigh.
”Dragon Emperor requested a meeting with Black Star, and she is definitely talking to him about the problem of the Field Team. Black Star has her trust, and Ames probably won't stop his actions. Jeez…”
Thinking about Han Xiao, Jenny could not help but be filled with pent up rage. After her dissatisfaction over the loan the last time, she was filled with enmity toward Han Xiao. After that, despite trying many different methods, she had not been able to reduce Ames' trust in him.
Now, regardless of how dissatisfied Jenny was, she could only accept the presence of this colleague.
Putting on her spectacles again, Jenny browsed through the many documents before her. Suddenly thinking of something, Jenny took out a document with regards to the Garton Star System.
The Garton Star System hasn't been calm in recent times, and there are many organizations paying attention to this. According to news on the black market, even organizations more infamous than DarkStar are placing their attention on this matter. This is the hottest topic in recent times.
Black Star is also operating in that region and has been dragged into this incident. As of now, he is standing on Godora's side. Humph, at least he knows not to enter the fray in the name of Floating Dragon. If not, I wouldn't let him off!
Jenny snorted coldly.
Since Floating Dragon wanted to maintain neutrality, it would be best for them to stay far away from such a sensitive affair. While she did not like Han Xiao, she did not have the ability to order him around. On the surface, both of them were at the same level and were managing different departments.
Godora and DarkStar are in a chaotic war, and who knows when it will end? In any case, this mess has nothing to do with Floating Dragon and won't give me any trouble, Jenny thought to herself.
