Zhang Jin proceeded to put more good words for Patroclus into w.a.n.g Tong's ears . She liked both of the boys, and didn't want to see them become enemies . Although the compet.i.tion was inevitable between the two, she wished it was a healthy one, like that between Li Feng and Rilangalos .

"I will investigate into this and give you an answer . "

"Hehe, doesn't matter . I doubt they would do it again anyway . " w.a.n.g Tong cracked a nonchalant smile .

Ever since the incident, Zhang Buyu and his fellow Templars guarded w.a.n.g Tong round the clock . Their primary duty on this s.h.i.+p was to make sure w.a.n.g Tong's safety; it was a direct order from the grand master .

Zhang Jin knew that w.a.n.g Tong was still weak, and therefore, didn't stay for too long .

The Ark soon lifted its anchor off the Martian sh.o.r.e and set off deeper into s.p.a.ce . The promise of an exciting voyage gripped everyone's attention . As a result, a few weeks after the incident, no one talked about it any longer, as if it had never happened .

Samantha had suggested w.a.n.g Tong to work in her office . Although it was not in a combat unit, he finally could be away from the squalid maintenance room . However, w.a.n.g Tong had refused the generous offer .

The reason for w.a.n.g Tong's refusal was two folds: first, he didn't want to distract Samantha, and second, he wanted to lure the culprit out of hiding . Having the first mate around him would make it impossible for the culprit to act again .

"w.a.n.g Tong, why don't you take a rest? " Tee said like an older sister .

"I'm fine . "

"You know, we were told to look after you from the higher-ups . I mean . . . really high up . "

"Tzs . . . I'm not a china doll . I have finished reading all the manuals . Am I going to join the team this afternoon?"

"Sure . We'd prefer you to just read manual since you are pretty useless anyway . " Tee said with a broad smile on her face .

w.a.n.g Tong nodded . He knew it was impossible for him to blend in, since he carried too much dead weight with him, such as his many t.i.tles .

While w.a.n.g Tong continued his slow recovery, Li s.h.i.+ming and Patroclus had started to make a name for themselves . Maybe Kaost had tried to pick on them; he had been giving them more and more difficult missions . However, they completed each of those missions with greater success than the last . As a result, they had very quickly gained the respect of their supervisors .

Although Lie Jian had completed difficult challenges with equal success, his typical Martian att.i.tude had hindered his rise in status .

Ever since the Ark left the last civilized world, Mars, the captain's room had quieted down significantly, as there were no more phone calls nor press releases . The real objective of the expedition remained unknown to most people .

"Captain, this is the report for this week . " Hill set the report on the table . Hill had been Kaost's personal a.s.sistant for decades, and was the old captain's most trusted adviser .

"What is your take on these little brats?"

"Patroclus is perfect in technical terms, but lacks pa.s.sion . Li s.h.i.+ming is a cunning fellow, typical great house heir . Lie Jian is . . . well . . . He is a martian through and through, so you know what to expect . Ma Xiaoru doesn't seem to be interested in anything except her boyfriend . She is unlikely to be a problem in the future . I still can't get a number on Li Ruoer and Zhang Jin . " Hill said .

"What about w.a.n.g Tong?"

"Problematic . . . to say the least . "

"Go on . I'm listening . " Kaost said as he puffed a cloud of smoke .

"He lacks the most crucial character of a strong leader, being able to blend in . So far, he still does his own things by himself and keeps a distance from the other co-workers . "

Although w.a.n.g Tong was one of the well-known characters on the s.h.i.+p, he had much less support than the great house's princes and princesses .

w.a.n.g Tong had gained the t.i.tle of young master solely because of his connection with the grand master of the Templars . If a new grand master was elected, his claim could be revoked at any time . As for his a.s.sociation with House Ma, it was as fragile and fickle as teenage lover's infatuations .

"Good, very good!" Kaost nodded at Hill . "I feel like you want to say something?"

"Captain, I think it's time to call back agent Tee . She would be more useful in the combat unit . "

"Haha . I know you miss her a lot . " Kaost jested .

Hill blushed and rose up to the comment . "That is not why…"

"I know you like her . But, I need her to keep an eye out for me . Don't worry; she will be back soon . Make sure she knows how you feel about her, OK? She is not going to fall in love with you if you don't make a move first!"

"Yes . . . Yes, Captain!" Hill blurted, still blus.h.i.+ng .

Kaost heaved a sigh and waved at Hill to dismiss him . He was a good soldier and an even better strategist . However, he knew nothing about women .

Kaost turned his leather chair around to face the window . Captain of the Noah's Ark? Bah! What a hot mess it was!

…

"Who did this?" Tee shouted out .

w.a.n.g Tong stepped into the storage room where he heard the commotion, and he found out that two s.p.a.ce METAL were damaged beyond repair . He cast a look at Tee's face and thought that fire was going to spit out from both of those holes .

"Tee, umm . . . It's us . . . We had been sparing and got a little bit too carried away . "

"You two again? How many times have I told you? How many!"

The smile on the two s.p.a.ce fighter's faces evaporated as they lowered their head to avoid eye contact with Tee .

"Wow . . . They just going to stand there? I thought those two were top s.p.a.ce fighters . " w.a.n.g Tong mumbled a question to one of his co-workers .

"You have no idea . . . You need to be careful around her . " The co-worker was a small engineer with eyegla.s.ses .

"Thanks for the heads up . "

"No problem . My name is Zuoyan by the way . "
