664 Alive Like A Tiger (1/2)

Ma Xiaoru was affected by the touching scene as well. ”Grandmaster reassured that Wang Tong will lead us to victory.”

”Haha, of course! He is going to be the new grand master of the Templars. All eyes are on you now, kiddo!” Wang Buting had never admitted defeated even once in his life. But after six years of struggle against Patroclus, he was tired, and hopelessness had started to creep in. Overall, the situation on Earth was much better than what those who didn't live there would think, all thanks to the Templar and the Confederation's perseverance.

”Grandmaster, Wang Tong has already come up with a solution, and we are currently working on it. ” Ma Xiaoru went on to explain their plan of capturing the queen. Old Fart nodded from time to time, and after she had finished, his face was lit up with glee. ”Excellent plan! But, how confident are you in defeating Patroclus?”

”Hehe, I don't remember you ever taught me how to fail, so I won't.” Wang Tong said airily. Wang Buting locked his eyes onto his face and saw through his nonchalant mask right away. Wang Tong's resolution was unswerving. With his current level of power, it was not impossible to get rid of Patroclus by paying the ultimate sacrifice.

”Kiddo, I know a person who might be able to help us. But I am not sure how long it will take us to find him.”

”Who is that?”

”You know him too.” Old Fart said knowingly.

”Sisi?” Wang Tong gasped.

”That's right. Over the years, she had been helping the Templars secretly, and without her, I might have already been dead.” Wang Buting heaved a sigh.

”How come? I had tried to contact her, but... I thought she was dead.” Ma Xiaoru was surprised by the revelation.

”A strong soul, that one. I knew she was to play a big role in human history the moment she was chosen to enter Valhalla, although I admit that I have no clue what exactly that entails, and neither does she. Therefore, I have left her with an encrypted communication device, and we have stayed in touch ever since. I have not told anyone about his for obvious reasons.”

”No wonder that we could always get the alert of Immortals' attack just in time. I thought that the information was provided by the underground agents.” Ma Xiaoru exclaimed as realization dawned upon her. Although she and Zhang Jin had their suspicions on the source of the precise intel they had been getting, neither of them delved into it.

”She is the only person who has access to Patroclus, and therefore, only she will know where the Queen is. Even a general direction would be of great help.”

”Is she in danger?” Wang Tong asked concernedly. ”We need to get her out of there.”

”You think I didn't try? I have asked her many times, but somehow, she refused to be rescued. Maybe she wanted to stay close to Patroclus to protect us. She had saved so many lives. Without her, I wouldn't even be here talking to you. The only way to get her back is to kill the queen and end the war” Wang Butting said. He was grateful for Zhou Sisi's secret protection over the years.

”That's fine, Old Fart. I have been to the moon, and I couldn't find Zhou Sisi. But, if you know her whereabouts, I can figure it out myself.” Wang Tong said firmly and then looked at Ma Xiaoru beside him. She appreciated the sacrifice that Zhou Sisi had made for her man, and therefore, despite her obvious crush on Wang Tong, she didn't protest his plan of rescuing her personally.

”I agree with Wang Tong. If Patroclus isn't aware of Zhou Sisi's communication device, he is not likely to expect Wang Tong to show up either. We suspect that the queen is on the Ark, and we will locate her sooner or later. It is about time for Zhou Sisi to come home.”

”You guys are too young and too simple, sometimes even naive!”

”Shut up, Old Fart! Tell me where she is, and I will bring her back.”

Wang Tong had always been mindful not to owe anyone anything. Zhou Sisi was the only person he genuinely felt indebted to. Not only had she sacrificed her own chance of escaping to save Wang Tong during the tragedy on the Ark, but she had also endured the slandering and smear attacks in order to protect the safety of the Templars. She was a true heroine.
