572 Rat From The Sewer (1/2)

No one was willing to back out of Wang Tong's plan. Although they were young girls, they possessed more courage than most men.

”Very well! From this day on, let us forge our bonds in the fires of hell. Till death do us apart!” Wang Tong joked.

”From THIS day on? I thought we were already bonded!” Xiao Ling exclaimed dramatically

Michaux heard the banters and laughter while he stood outside; he knew the girls had made their decision. He knew that all of his field medics were fearless heroines; otherwise, they wouldn't have made the cut in the first place.

If not for other duties that Michaux had to attend to, he might have joined Wang Tong's plan himself.

”Thank you, Michaux! I think it is time for me to leave.”

”There is no rush. Let them pack up so you can leave with them tomorrow.” Michaux suggested.

”Haha, sure! Might as well.” Wang Tong nodded. The sun was setting, and traveling alone in the dark could be dangerous.

Although Xiao Yuyu was excited about the upcoming mission, she had to spend the night making arrangements to cover her shift while she was absent.

”Young master, Zhang Guangming requests an audience.” A soldier reported to Michaux.

Michaux furrowed his brows and murmured, ”What is he doing here?” The insolent princeling had been a thorn in his side ever since his uncle passed away. For the sake of his uncle's name and reputation, Michaux had been cleaning after Zhang Guangming's mess and enduring his arrogance.

”I will meet him with you. It probably has something to do with me anyway.” Wang Tong smiled wryly. He knew Michaux had a soft heart, and was easily taken advantage of by unscrupulous dipsh*t such as Zhang Guangming.

Wang Tong hopped that Zhang Guangming had his wits about him this time.

When Michaux saw Zhang Guangming in the meeting room, the latter looked much more relaxed than he was during the day.

”Guanming, what's up?” Michaux greeted him like an old friend. Zhang Guangming shot Michaux a sidelong glance and then said, ”I come here to apologize. I shouldn't have done that earlier today. Your slap was a wake-up call for me. I want to dedicate myself to the war against the Zergs from now on.”

Michaux was pleasantly surprised, as he smiled earnestly. ”I am so happy that you think this way!”

”Mr. Wang Tong. I am sorry! It was very rude of me earlier today.” Zhang Guangming apologized to Wang Tong sincerely.

”That's it! Haha! Let's move beyond the past and always remember the teaching of our Divine Master.” Michaux said ardently. He had grown up with Zhang Guangming, and therefore, had always wished that the two could work together as brothers.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then nodded. ”No worries. Mr. Zhang is straightforward and outspoken gentlemen, so no hard feelings.”

”I wager that you are here for some urgent matters. Let me know if you need my help. I will try my best to redeem myself of what I have done.”

Even after Wang Tong and Michaux had sat down, Zhang Guangming stood still, his head slightly lowered. It seemed that Michaux's slap had made him take a long hard look at his actions, and he was genuinely sorry for the damage he had inflicted over the years.

”Michaux had offered me help already. Thank you for the offer.”

”It will be my honor to serve the heir of the Blade Warrior. I felt ashamed of my actions earlier, and I promise that I will strive to make a positive contribution to our world!”

”Haha, Guangming, you have changed so much since this morning!” Michaux laughed. He still found it hard to believe that a hopeless brat could have changed himself so utterly. If he knew his slapping was so effective, he should have done it many years ago.

Zhang Guangming scratched his head and said, ”I am surprised by myself too. I was so mad at you at first that I returned the tower and was going to... beat up someone to vent. But, the tower lit up all of a sudden, and I felt a voice calling me and telling me what I should do. After that, I felt so terrible for all the things I had done. It hit me like a wrecking ball! ”

It finally occurred to Michaux that it was the spirit inside the tower that had affected Zhang Guangming. He was the late Divine Master's last of kin. Bonded by blood, Zhang Guangming could have been easily affected by the energies inside the tower.

”It was in part my fault too. I should have stopped you or give you a stern warning much earlier. However, it is still not too late! Let's work together and save our people on Mars.”

”Well said! Let's toast for the final liberation of all human in the world.” Zhang Guangming said as he raised a cup and chucked the content down his throat.

”Very well!” The joy in Michaux was beyond description. It was his sworn duty to look after the kin of the late divine master. He couldn't have expected a happier ending than this.
