Chapter 478: Visitors from House Lie

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

There was another familiar face among the member of House Lie: Lie Wushuang. Lie Wushuang had just turned twenty-seven this year, and his seniority and experience had lent him confidence. Each step he took held an unswerving determination and purpose. Among the half dozen warriors sent by House Lie, he ought to be the strongest.

”Balls! That's Lie Wushuang! He is the boss' competitor.” Lun Duo scowled and lamented.

”He has no chance! How many years had he stayed close to Lie Xuan, and still no dice? If Lie Xuan were interested in him, they would have already gotten married.” Tan Bu shook his head. Clearly, he knew women better than his best friend.

While they were speaking, the entourage had filed into Guan Dongyang's room. Lie Xuan held hands with Ye Zi and started chattering like two teenage girls. Everyone's face lit up with glee; it was evident that Guan Dongyang had kept an amicable relationship with House Lie.

As Lie Xuan and Ye Zi walked out of the room and disappeared into the distance, Tan Bu and Lun Duo both heaved a sigh.

”I would rather die in the bed with a hot muffin than live a single extra day. I have decided, I will work extra hours every day to become one of the super METAL warriors, and find myself a sweetheart as beautiful as those two.” Tan Bu thought for a few seconds and then announced with determination in his voice.

When he finished announcing his newfound resolution, he found out that Duo Lun had already left him, dragging Wang Tong behind.

”Don't mind him; he is an idiot.” The wind blew a few words out of Duo Lun's mouth into Tan Bu's ears.

”Hehe, everything is possible.” Wang Tong said quietly to himself.

Tan Bu caught up with the two and walked to their rooms together. Suddenly, they heard a voice calling out to them, and they saw Ross scuttling toward them.

”What are you three doing here?” Ross asked.

”Nothing, nothing. We didn't do anything.” Tan Bu hurried to reply.

”I know you guys are peeking at those girls. Everyone knows that you only think with what's in between your legs instead of what's on your shoulder. Come, Furface. Boss is looking for you. We have a guest today, so don't let us down.” Ross commanded.

”What's up?”

”I have no idea either, just follow me. Ask less, do more!”

Wang Tong nodded and waved to the two young soldiers. ”Don't forget to find me tonight.”

When Wang Tong arrived at Guan Dongyang's room, he was greeted by swells of laughter. Everyone was listening to Lie Xuan's recent battles while throwing banter at her from time to time.

Guan Dongyang didn't pay much attention to Wang Tong when he first heard of his arrival. However, during the battle at the hills, he was surprised by how well his METAL had functioned. Therefore, he thought he owed Wang Tong a formal appreciation.

Ye Zi knew Wang Tong well, and therefore, she pushed herself up from the chair, walked to Wang Tong, and introduced him.

”This is the furface of Battle Wolf… An excellent METAL mechanic, palpably the best on Mars! We will take him with us to the tournament to identify the looted METAL.”

Lie Xuan surveyed Wang Tong and heaved a sigh of disappointment. Martians were never good at hiding their feelings. ”The best? Do you think the five mechanics of House Lie are any worse than this...loser? ”

Although Guan Dongyang was well aware of Lie Xuan's personality, her ill choice of words spurred a knot on Guan Dongyang's face.

Sensing her words had gone a little overboard, Lie Xuan quickly plastered on a whimsical smile and laughed out loud. ”Haha! I was just joking! Come sit by me, Mr. Furface. We will be counting on you to see through any tricks from the Thunder Fire.”

Wang Tong nodded; time didn't change her carelessness, but made her made more aware of other's feelings nonetheless.

”Brother Guan, we should take advantage and establish your authority among the other factions. Let those Thunder Fire shoot themselves in the foot.” Lie Wushuang announced.

”Hehe, you have spoken my mind, Brother Wushuang. I will send the Battle Wolf members out first, and you can help out once things start to get hairy.”

Lie Wushuang nodded in approval. He scanned the room and found Wang Tong sitting quietly in his seat.

”You don't like to talk, do you?” Lie Wushuang asked.
