”Hehe… I am afraid that Moye is not going to let you do whatever you want on his turf.”
”Save your energy. Moye couldn't do a thing to stop me… you know that.” Patroclus brushed off the threat.
”Very well then, I will be waiting for the news of your defeat!” The girl shot back at him and turned on her heels. Despite her brazen ignorance and lack of respect, Patroclus let her walk out of the hall freely.
The girl clenched her hands together as she tried to cope with the immense joy inside her: he was back!
The belief that Wang Tong was still alive was what had kept her going for the last five years. Regardless of Patroclus' motive in telling her the news, this was what she needed to hear the most.
”My lord, why did you tell her that? Aren't you worried that she is going to be even more stubborn?” Lee Moshan asked with a quiet voice.
”Moshan, are you doubting me?”
”No, never my lord. Your words are the truth.” Lee Moshan hurried with an obsequious reply. However, he found it hard pressed to agree with Patroclus' methods for winning the girl's heart. If it were him, he would have taken the girl's body first and then worried about her mind and heart. Patroclus had the ability to give her eternal life, and perhaps the gift would change the way she saw the world. However, Patroclus kept her human form and seemed to have enjoyed the fruitless persuasion and waiting.
But, no matter how perplexed Lee Moshan was over the matter, he didn't dare ask for Patroclus' reason in doing things this way.
”Have they arrived on Mars?”
”Yes, my lord. They have already begun the search. Moye had made a bit of fuss over it. Do you think I should go there and help them out?” Lee Moshan always wondered why Patroclus cared so much about Wang Tong, since he was only an outdated public idol of a different era. Not only did no one remember him any longer, but his power would be puny compared to the new generation of the human race. Thanks to the new body given by Patroclus, the immortals were able to test tactics and techniques that would be outright banned in the old times due to their dangerous nature. These fearless experiments had widened the landscape of METAL combat significantly for the immortals, and made them much stronger than their human counterparts.
”Give them some time. If he keeps on harassing our men, then we will deal with him.” Patroclus' voice held a measure of anticipation.
”Yes, my lord.” Lee Moshan replied and then bowed. He knew that there were not a lot of worthy opponents left for Patroclus in this world, since he had already reached the Divine Way. However, the former wagered that Patroclus' defiant nature would eventually lead him astray from the Divine Way to seek alternatives that would break the circle, which in his view, had shackled the humans' real potential. Wang Tong was too weak even for the new Lee Moshan, much less Patroclus himself.

Blizzard quickly finished testing all the heavy METAL; their soldiers gawked at these shiny new METAL suits with anticipation flashing in their eyes.
On the other side, no one at Battle Wolf wanted to see these heavy METAL go. However, their financial constraint meant that they had to make some sacrifices.
Roseau and Mao Jin guarded these heavy METAL while waiting for their transport fleet to arrive, making sure no one from the Battle Wold could get near these precious METAL suits. Their overly protective act had rubbed Ross the wrong way. ”Balls! They haven't paid us yet, have they? Why can't we even take a look at them? ” He murmured.
Ross walked to Roseau and asked, ”Time for lunch, lieutenant Roseau. The table is set for you inside the dining room, please.”
”Haha… Thank you Lieutenant Ross, but no. We like to eat out here.”
