Chapter 455: Patroclus' Loyalty

Patroclus remained calm and asked, ”Who is in charge here?”
”That will be my father. However, if you have anything to say, you can tell me as well.”
”Hehe. I am not talking about Carmen; he is nothing but a pawn. I want to see the Zerg who is behind all this. I know he is after the Ark and me, so here I am. Lead me to him!”
Patroclus stood with an unswerving conviction on his face. His words were laced with contempt toward the humanoid Zergs.
The sneer on Yalansili's face evaporated like a drop of water under the desert sun. She loathed the Ivantian Prince for calling her and her father 'pawns'. She believed that with the new body and abilities, they would eventually become the masters of both human and Zergs.
With her face knotted, Yalansili opened her mouth to refute Patroclus's comment. But suddenly, the anger disappeared from her face like an actress coming out of her role. She said with a newfound pleasant voice, ”Mr. Patroclus, our master is expecting you.”
Patroclus smiled faintly and followed Yalansili down the path.

”Move, MOVE!” Tee stormed toward the captain's office while shouting at the people in her way.
”What's the matter?” Kaost was amused by Tee's usual manner of hustle and bustle; she didn't change a bit even after joining the maintenance crew.
”Boss, it's big! The Zergs are going to take over Luolan!”
”Oh? I'm listening.”
After hearing Tee's report about her encounter with the policeman, Kaost laughed and then said, ”That's it? There is no evidence but Wang Tong's conjecture!”
Tee paused for a second as she conceded that Kaost's words had some truth in it, but not all of it. ”Captain, I trust Wang Tong. He would never make a joke out of something serious as this. Plus, my communication through skynet was hijacked as well. This couldn't be a coincidence.”
”Hehe, I am aware of those disruptions to the signals, and Luolan has already checked their system. By the way, where is Wang Tong now?”
”He stayed in the city...”Tee spoke under her breath.
”Who authorized it? I entrusted him to you, so how could you let him leave your sight! Call him back right now. Otherwise, you will have to face discipline!” Anger suddenly burst out from Kaost's eyes as he scolded Tee.
”Yes, Captain!” Tee turned around and walked out of the office.
”Wait! What's your plan?” Kaost asked.
”I am going to get back to the city and find him.”
Kaost paused and pondered for a moment, then said, ”Never mind. Just stay here on the ship and stay out of this!”
Tee left captain's office with many questions in her mind. She was not convinced that everything was under control. Kaost's sudden outburst, for one, had raised her suspicion. Why would he get so riled up for Wang Tong's safety while he claimed that there was no danger at all?
Even Tee knew that dealing with the space city was no better than playing with fire. The relationship between the confederation and the space city was intense as they already were, and any unnecessary strain would unleash the resentment built up over time.
