”Don’t worry! C’mon, take this as my chance of repaying you for your kindness of helping me!” Ma Xiaoru then pulled Wang Tong to the driver’s seat. Of course, Wang Tong was more than happy to be offered an opportunity like this. He knew Ma Xiaoru wouldn’t mind, since she was rich, and he had always been craving for the excitement of acceleration.
”That’s the push-to-start button, the touch control panel and that’s the autopilot button. Just push that button if you feel that you’re not able to drive, simple as that.” Ma Xiaoru said. Driving itself was really simple, and the rest were basically entertainment functions. Wang Tong then started the engine and began to feel the rush of adrenaline, as the maglev vehicle rose up. It really felt different from those smaller ones, and definitely looked cooler than Hu Yangxuan’s.
”Hold on tight!” Wang Tong said in excitement. He loved the feeling of adrenaline rushing throughout his body, kind of looking like a boy with his new toy. Actually, he had wanted to try driving when he was in Hu Yangxuan’s vehicle back then, but in the end, he didn’t ask for it. Nevertheless, Wang Tong had already learned most of the basics while watching Hu Yangxuan drive.
It was definitely a good quality maglev vehicle, because the vehicle didn’t rattle as it rose up slowly, even though it was driven by a rookie. Since Wang Tong had learned how to pilot a Battlecraft in his previous training, he was able to get used to every function in a jiff. Soon, Ma Xiaoru’s vehicle began to move and accelerate.
”Woah, cool!” Wang Tong loved the thrill of speed. Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoru seemed to be startled by the sudden excitement.
Wang Tong began to drive like a racer, as he had gotten familiar with the maneuvers, and within minutes, they heard police sirens wail behind their vehicle. However, neither of them knew that it was illegal to drive that fast in the city. The only thing mister rookie knew was to shake off the police as soon as possible.
”Hold on tight Xiaoru, I’m going to shake them off our tail now!”
Wang Tong stepped on the pedal and accelerated, yet their vehicle was still closely followed by the police. Two maglev vehicles were seen zigzagging across buildings. Wang Tong was getting more and more excited as he pushed his driving skills to the limit; he was even turning corners by drifting the vehicle, really looking like a racer.
Of course, the police was unable to drive like him, not to mention their vehicle was not as fast as Ma Xiaoru’s. Soon, their vehicle had gone out of sight.
”Dammit! That was fast! What the hell was that vehicle?”
”That brand… oh nevermind, let’s head back to the precinct.”
”What’s the matter with you? I’m sure we can catch that fella and lock him up for ten days or maybe half a month!”
”That maglev vehicle belongs to the House of Ma, you idiot.”
Both cops looked at each other, ”Giving a speeding ticket to the House of Ma? Nah...” They gave up the idea immediately.
Wang Tong sighed in relief when he noticed the police was out of sight. Honestly, what happened minutes ago almost scared the crap out of him. Ma Xiaoru, who was sitting right beside him, giggled as she saw his amusing expression.
”What’s wrong, was it bad? Oh god, please don’t tell me they’re gonna arrest me soon.”
”Two minutes ago, you were driving fast like a madman, and now you’re scared like a chicken. Get a grip!” Ma Xiaoru said. Actually, they could’ve just pulled over and given the officers a few good reasons instead of turning it into a street chase.
Wang Tong scratched his head, ”I was kinda excited and went crazy… My bad! Luckily I didn’t take the wrong turn.”
”Don’t worry, it’s fine since we’re about ten minutes earlier than our expected time of arrival.”
This wasn’t Wang Tong’s first time visiting the Sky Mansion, so he decided to show himself around while waiting for Ma XIaoru to get changed. Minutes later, she came back in her training outfit.
”Wow, so you really are getting serious huh. Looks like I’ll have to be extra alert later.” Wang Tong joked.
”Make sure you don’t go easy on me. I’ve been spending a lot of time recently to prepare for this. Hopefully, I’ll be able to succeed in one shot!”
”Are you planning to perform Tactics Advancement?” Wang Tong asked, knowing this might be a difficult task.
”How do you know about Tactics Advancement?” Ma Xiaoru looked at Wang Tong in surprise. Somehow, he always didn’t know things that were commonly known by others, but he would know things that he wasn’t supposed to know.
”Kinda heard of it before. But no one is here to monitor you. Are you sure you wanna do this?”
”I’ll be fine, Tactics of the Enchantress might be unpredictable, but it’s quite stable when it comes to Tactics Advancement. I’ll handle the rest by myself.” Ma Xiaoru didn’t want to trouble the House of Li and worsen the situation, since the deal between the two houses was already settled.
”So, how can I help?”
”There are ten stages in the two hundred and one nodes Tactics of the Enchantress. Right now, I’m at the fourth stage. However, I couldn’t improve my tactics ever since I got out from the House of Li. If I were to fight Li Ruo-Er with my current level, I'd never stand a chance to defeat her. So, I have to advance to the next stage as soon as possible!” Ma Xiaoru seemed very serious about this battle. Somehow this fight meant a lot more to her than what met the eye.
Wang Tong had no idea what was going on with her, yet Mr. busybody was eager to help when he saw Ma Xiaoru’s enthusiasm. Moreover, Ma Xiaoru’s performance was crucial to their crusade against Capth.
