Chapter 241: Lie Wushuang
Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_
As a matter of fact, Ma Xiaoru wasn’t the main reason for what happened between Wang Tong and Samantha. After all, Samantha had her own career goals and ambition which she would never give up, while Wang Tong also had his own path to pursue that he wouldn’t give up. Not to mention he would never get Samantha involved in the mysteries and secrets that had been burdening him for years.
In short, both Wang Tong and Samantha would never choose to give up for the sake of each other, which was why they were not destined to be together.
Wang Tong was more mature than he looked. After all, he had really been through a lot since the day he met Old Fart. Hence, Wang Tong didn’t complain or blame Samantha for it. At least he knew that Samantha had never treated him like an expendable pawn.
”Wang Tong, as ordered by the military, you’ll be assigned to the Ground Forces on Norton. But before that, I want to ask you… Is this your real intention, or are you doing this for me?”
”A bit of both I guess. But since the order has been given out, I’m willing to go.”
”Actually, I never submitted your application form, yet your name still appeared in the military order. I have no idea if it is a chance for you to succeed, or a setup. After all, Norton is an extremely dangerous place as you know.” Samantha said.
The first thing that popped into Wang Tong’s mind was Li Ruo-Er, but still, he was very grateful for Samantha’s warning. Someone had obviously gone through a lot of trouble to put Wang Tong into this situation. Either the person was trying to observe him or using this as a chance to eliminate him for good.
Wang Tong was well aware that he had offended Li Ruo-Er on many occasions, and the infuriated little enchantress would do anything to make him suffer and burn.
”Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with Norton’s environment. To me, this seems more like an opportunity to succeed, making me one step closer to become a Battlecraft Commander. Relax, it’ll be a piece of cake for me.” Wang Tong smiled and replied with confidence.
If this really were Li Ruo-Er’s plot, then it would be best for him to go, because he was worried that it would cause people around him to be involved in the mess between him and Li Ruo-Er if he chose to stay at Ayrlarng. Anyway, Wang Tong doubted that Li Ruo-Er would be able to turn his life into a living hell, because to him, Norton was just a walk in the park!
To Wang Tong, the planet was just like a child’s theme park filled with creepy crawlies, not to mention he still had Einherjar Wannabe by his side. Although he was only able to equip the METAL Suit for a short period of time, still it would be more than enough for him to escape.
”Are you sure?”
”Don’t worry, I’ll come back in one piece!”
Both Wang Tong and Samantha stared at each other in silence. Honestly, Wang Tong was the only person that had ever seen the gentle side of Samantha. He was certain that after they bid farewell, Samantha would have no problem in doing her part as Ayrlarng’s multitasking principal. However, he couldn’t help wondering what was in front of him…
Still, Wang Tong believed that this was a good opportunity for both of them to prove themselves to each other. Who knew, maybe there was a chance that they could get back together if they succeeded. Even if they really couldn’t get back together, the sweet memories they had together was already more than enough for Wang Tong.
Both of them officially engaged in their own ”quests” the moment Wang Tong closed the door of Samantha’s office…
The members of ”S” Society decided to throw Carl, Rumi and the others who were going to Norton a farewell party on Friday afternoon. After all, they all deserved to enjoy themselves before exposing themselves to the unknown dangers that were lurking on Norton.
Hu Yangxuan even sang them a song with his passionate vocals. In the end, the mic hog was kicked off the stage because he had sung too many songs.
As for Wang Tong’s team, they were scheduled to leave within the week after Carl’s team departed. The military didn’t inform them about the exact time of departure, but they were told to get packed and standby.
As always, Ayrlarng’s students would be the last to leave.
Saturday seemed a lot more quiet than usual. Aside from the excitement, everyone also began to worry about the challenges ahead. After all, they knew nothing about Norton aside from some basic information mentioned in the overall data.
