”You are Zhang Yu?” Ye Chong studied the man in front of him.
Zhang Yu was also giving Ye Chong the same look of assesment. He was a little perturbed. He was asked to the bridge alone, and this special treatment unsettled him. However, he believed that he had managed to maintain a calm impression. He nodded and said, ”I am.”
”Alright. From now on, you will be under our protection,” Ye Chong stated plainly.
Zhang Yu stared in shock at the young man. The first thought that came to him was, had he encountered the legendary organization called the cartel?
Torres rushed to Terry City, just in time to see a starship making its landing. Around this starship were no less than a thousand of those weird flying vessels as its escorts.
Looking above from the ground, the fleet felt immense and powerful.
What an incredible show of power! Torres turned solemn. From the looks of it, the new arrival must be someone extraordinary. However, the starship did not seem to fit the story. Logically speaking, any person of status would have flown in a large high class starship, and not an average long distance starship like this one. This civilian starship would not have been enough to satisfy anyone of status, be it in terms of safety or comfort.
The scene was odd indeed. It was like seeing a large group of bodyguards in tuxedos carefully escorting a poorly dressed beggar.
As expected, the starship landed in the base of the Papatte Mech Squad. Torres no longer hesitated. He ordered his subordinates to drive him to the base.
Sang Pu, Sang Tie and Sang Ling all looked at Ye Chong, filled with emotions.
”Sir …” ”Sir!” ”... Sir …” The three of them spoke up simultaneously.
Ye Chong looked at them, and felt a surge of emotions from within. Sang Pu was beginning to have the bearings of a leader. He stood there before him with a grace that befitted a man of power. Sang Ling had grown even more beautiful. Sang Tie looked just the same as before, but with a more mature composure.
”I'm back,” Ye Chong said softly.
”Sir is back!” ”Sir is back!” The base was filled with roaring cheers of joy. This man had taught them how to build Collision mechs, survive the Beast Stampede, and leave Archipelago. Everyone of the Sang Tribe loved him from the bottom of their hearts.
When he began to introduce the others in his company, there was a bit of an issue. Most of them were fine, but Ye Chong had no idea how to introduce Rui Bing.
”She is …” Ye Chong tilted his head, unable to continue the sentence. A friend? He rejected the notion immediately.
”Welcome, Ma'am!” The sympathetic Sang Ling stepped up to give him a hand. The rest of the Sang Tribe realized the situation then. So it was Ye Chong's wife. No wonder he was embarrassed. They had all learned under Ye Chong, and since they called Ye Chong ”Sir”, it was only natural to call his wife ”Ma'am”.
Even with Rui Bing's steady character, she blushed deeply at the greeting.
Everyone's attention was focused on Rui Bing. They were all curious about the wife of their young teacher. Their intense gazes were directed instantly to Rui Bing, leaving Ye Chong completely ignored.
Sang Pu noticed Rui Bing's dilemma. He stole a glance at Ye Chong, smiled, and came forward to help Ye Chong and Rui Bing out of their awkwardness. He raised his voice to the crowd, ”What're you all standing here? Get to your jobs now. Sir is finally back, and he'll need his rest. Go on now, go on.” It seemed that Sang Pu had won the confidence of the people. They all left with reluctance.
Sang Ling smiled at Rui Bing and said, ”Young Ma'am, let's go.”
News of the young teacher bringing back a lady as beautiful as a Goddess spread like wildfire throughout the entire base.

Before them, the area around Yi Ju was shown on a holographic screen, suspended in midair. A bright red dot glowed on the projection.
”This is one of the areas that is spatially unstable, and the closest one to us. It's not clear yet if these areas of spatial instability were the first signs before those creatures appeared.” Ye Chong explained the situation briefly.
