Ma Xiaoru's face lit up with glee, ”The world would be a better place if everyone thought like you. Whatever you decide to do, I will always be with you.”
Wang Tong held onto Ma Xiaoru's hand and felt grateful for having such an understanding fiancé.
”Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me.”
”There's no need to worry about it right now. A lot of your questions will be answered inside the Hall of Valhalla. Don't forget about Mr. Wannabe. ”
”You bet! He is my priority. I thought my life was miserable, but every time I think of you, Old Fart, and Mr. Wannabe, I feel there is really nothing to complain about.”
”Let me guess...your life will be perfect if Li Feng didn't give you the title of the savior?”
”Haha, you know me the best. I felt that Li Shiming was a better fit for that role than me. He loves to be the one that's calling the shots, and knows how to handle responsibilities. Although Michaux and Patroclus are both capable of taking up the challenge, they don't seem to care about the world as much as Li Shiming does.”
”Nailed it. Michaux cares only about his cultivation, and Patroclus... Dad used to tell me to never trust a Dower.” Ma Xiaoru had hit the mark. Three centuries ago, Rilangalos had hidden among the earthlings for ten years to destroy the entire human fleet in a blink. But in the end, he switched sides again and aided Li Feng.
In the three hundred years that followed, the Dower had many opportunities to dominate the world when the other factions were tangled in in-fighting, but they never did. Their quietness, however, did not amount to lack of ambitions, as they maintained a tight grip on many aspects of Confederation's politics.
As for Patroclus, he had caught people off guard countless times. Not only had he allowed Wang Tong seven days to recuperate, but he had also passed up many opportunities to finish Wang Tong during the battle. The nonchalant and carefree appearance carefully eclipsed the seemingly self-contradicting motivations. Unlike Patroclus, Li Shiming was much easier to read; he never hid his real ambitions.
”Ah... Why did they have to make things so complicated? Be like me and don't hide anything. I just want to be a fleet captain and marry you and have kids while we are still young. Haha!”
”Who said I want to have kids with you?” Ma Xiaoru hurried to pick up a meatball and forced it into Wang Tong's mouth like jamming a stopper into the wine battle.
The two talked and laughed, painting a rare picture of happiness during this brief moment of respite.
It had been a while since the Templar's court had seen so many visitors, and everyone eagerly waited for the opening of the Hall of Valhalla. For most people, this could be the only chance in their life to step into the sacred hall that held the most important secrets of mankind.
Zhou Sisi had also arrived at the court a few days after Wang Tong. She was accompanied by core members of the S club. Although they were not supposed to be there since she didn't make it into the final, Wang Tong had invited them to enter the court. It caught Wang Tong by surprise how Old Fart had quickly accepted his request, which made him sense the convenience of having his new title.
”Sh*t! Boss, is this your hood?” Karl gawked at the exuberant city and asked. Since they were Wang Tong's friends, the court had rolled out the red carpet for them.
”I have never thought that I would come to this place one day.”
”Just saw some disciples during their training session. It was brutal!”
”Of course, this is where all the badasses are. We are badasses too now! ”
”Where is Hu Yangxuan?” Karl asked.
