Chapter 478: Visitors from House Lie (2/2)

Wang Tong's eyes found Lie Wushuang's gaze, but he didn't say a word.

Ye Zi hurried to reply on behalf of Wang Tong. ”He is just a technician, probably too afraid to talk to you at this moment.”

”Lie Xuan, make sure you rest well. We will move out tomorrow.”

”Roger that.”

”Ah… We have other matters to take care of. You two, please continue. ” Ye Zi squeezed a wink at everyone and left the room. Ross and everyone else picked up the cue and followed Ye Zi out of the room, leaving Guan Dongyang alone with Lie Xuan.

Lie Xuan cast a glance at Lie Wushuang, willing him to stay.

It was true that Lie Wushuang used to be obsessed with Le Xuan, but not anymore. However, Guan Dongyang's insistent courtship of his former lover annoyed the former like a prick in his side.

Lie Jian really liked Guan Dongyang's talent, but his favor was limited to only business. Even though Lie Jian never planned to marry his sister to Guan Dongyang, neither did he ever openly oppose his courtship. Using her sister as a pivot, Lie Jian played a smart game against two of his most potent associates. He used Guan Dongyang's actions to stoke the flame of jealousy inside Lie Wushuang, and in the end, they both had to ask him for help —a hefty bargaining chip that he could weigh in when asking the two for their loyalties.

”Furface, don't mind what Lie Xuan had said. House Lie folks can be jerks sometimes.” Ye Zi said.

Wang Tong shrugged.

Ye Zi cracked a smile and then said, ”They are very generous this time. Other than Lie Wushuang and Lie Xuan, the other four warriors are all level sixteen. It should give the Thunder Fire some pressure.”

”Is it allowed to have external aid from House Lie?”

”Of course!” Ye Zi was taken aback by the question.

”What if Thunder Fire does the same?”

”Phf... What kind of aid would they have?” Ye Zi snorted.

”Hey, you! Have we met before?” A deep voice boomed behind the two. It was Lie Wushuang, his eyes locked onto Wang Tong.

”No.” Wang Tong shook his head.

Lie Wushuang thought for a second; it was true that he never knew any mechanic except for those who worked for House Lie.

After exchanged a greeting with Ye Zi, Lie Wushuang left with his associates.

”You should go back and prepare for tomorrow's task, ” Ye Zi said to Wang Tong.

Wang Tong nodded and walked away. But, he didn't go back to his room. Instead, he went straight to Duo Lun and Tan Bu's room.

”Hey, Furface, how did you know we were here? Did you cast a location spell on us? Haha!”

”Spell you're a*s! ” Wang Tong cursed for the first time in a long time.

Sensing that Wang Tong was finally loosening up, Tan Bu said, ”Here we go! Let it all out. You know, I was dumped fifty-six times! And look at me now… a chick magnet!”

”I was never dumped.” Wang Tong protested, but his voice betrayed him.

”We know the pain, bro. We neither have the power nor a pretty face like our boss. But, as long as we keep at it, we will be fine. Hey, do you want to know some useful information to up your game a notch?”

”Oh? Do tell.” Wang Tong's interest was piqued.

”Haha, there are beauty queens on Mars. The first one is Heidi, but it is impossible to court her because of obvious reasons. The second is the most beautiful and talented medic Susu. She is the founder of the Field Medic Association. The third is the daughter of the Lord of Thunder Drum, Zambrotta.”

”Zambrotta's daughter?” Wang Tong shouted in disbelief as Zambrotta's ragged face appeared in his mind.

”Yes, she looks like her mom. After Einherjar Wannabe defeated Zambrotta, he recovered and regained momentum in the development of the Thunder Drum. After the Zergs' invasion, he fled with his followers and quickly formed a resistance force. His group is the third most powerful force right after the House Lie and the Divine Master Sect.”
