Dong, dong, dong…

“Your Highness, you have a visitor.”

“Just say that I’m not well.”

“It’s Prince Hao Lin,” said Mitch.e.l.l softly.

Kashawen was taken aback for a moment. “Arrange for a meeting room.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

She could refuse to see anyone, but she could not look upon the position of Atlantis lightly. Aslan needed alliances too, and Atlantis was the best and the strongest. Furthermore, they would never pose a threat.

Hao Lin Atlas, on all appearances, looked like a young child. However, Kashawen knew that the wisdom he had inherited was not as simple as his look. He was different from Dina Atlas. Dina had royal blood in him, whereas Hao Lin had inherited it.

Respect had to be given for this.

Upon seeing Kashawen, Hao Lin smiled and bowed. Although he was young, he had always given the impression of refinement and cultivation, like a young adult.

“Your Highness, what brings you here at this late hour?” asked a smiling Kashawen. She was always so energetic in front of outsiders.

Hao Lin nodded. “Prime Minister. I’ve heard some rumors.”

“Oh! Keke. Since when has Your Highness been interested in rumors?” Instinctively, Kashawen could not help but feel that his intentions were not pure.

“It’s a very interesting rumor. I heard that Princess Aina is in love with w.a.n.g Zheng.”

Kashawen was a little taken aback. “Rumors are usually not true. w.a.n.g Zheng is a rather good young man. I’m an admirer, and so is Aina. That is all.”

Kashawen suddenly felt that she was a little too soft-hearted. Perhaps it was time for her to be decisive.

Hao Lin seemed to have sensed a change in the atmosphere. The Atlanteans had always been more sensitive.

“Oh, really?! I was planning to congratulate you on this.”

Kashawen looked at the child in front of her. It was not difficult to differentiate between the truth and the lies behind that innocent look in his eyes. But she was not going to be deceived by this sort of look.

“Prince Hao Lin, this sort of trivial rumor should not have started around Aina.” There was some seriousness in her tone.

“Oh, I see. Then I don’t have to worry. Actually, you might know yourself, Prime Minister, after some period of time, we Atlanteans have to choose a member from the royal family to marry a human. This is to further integrate ourselves into the Milky Way Alliance family. This time, I am entrusted by my Queen. As you know, I have an older sister…”

Kashawen’s heart raced a little for a moment. The last marriage between a member of the royal family of Atlantis and a human was a long time ago. Even though Hao Lin had taken on the surname of a human, he did not inherit a lot of the human bloodline.

Why would Atlantis make such a move so suddenly?

“Atlantis and Aslan have been good friends for a long time. We hope that you, Prime Minister, can help us with this matter. Our Queen wishes to see the real potential of w.a.n.g Zheng and hopes that he will not be interfered with by external forces.”

Said Hao Lin slowly.

Although there was a smile on Kashawen’s face, all sorts of different thoughts were running in her mind. What did all this mean?

A fair warning? Or was this a simple request for a.s.sistance?

“Don’t worry. Aslan represents the fairness and justice of mankind. I hope that Your Highness will find what you seek.”

“My most sincere thanks to you, Prime Minister. Honesty, personally, I like w.a.n.g Zheng a lot.” As a junior, Hao Lin still rose to express his grat.i.tude.

After sending off the prince of Atlantis, Kashawen’s mind was in chaos.

What did this really mean?

Was he really here simply to relay this matter?

This was pretty impossible!

Kashawen was not a child. She suddenly realised that regardless, given the current circ.u.mstances, it would not be wise to make any move on w.a.n.g Zheng. If the Atlantis prince had not been here, it would not have mattered. Now that she had been informed, if she made a move nonetheless, and if she was discovered, then it would cause a rift in the alliance between Aslan and Atlantis. This was something that Aslan would not want to see.

But was this the truth?

w.a.n.g Zheng and a princess of Atlantis?

For some reason, Kashawen was having very mixed feelings. What was this?!

Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu had not been idle. The supporters of Saruman Snake from the Solar System were all being hosted by KO Group. Of course, there were the t.i.ta giants too. They had taken over all such matters, but they both felt that they were duty-bound. Among the supporters were, of course, fellow students from Ares College.

If they did not have to preside over the overall situation, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu would have been here too. This time, they had chosen to hold the fort.

Ye Zisu found time to make contact with Yuan Donger. The reason why the transportation matters from KO Group had gone so smoothly was mainly because of Yuan Donger. Ye Zisu decided to take the initiative to show their grat.i.tude to her. However, the reality was different from what Ye Zisu had thought. Yuan Donger did not seem to care much for this. For her, this was merely a flick of her fingers, and she had also found w.a.n.g Zheng to be agreeable. As for grat.i.tude, she had no need for it. Besides, she was not intimate with Ye Zisu and had no intention to be.

Ye Zisu did not know whether to laugh or cry, but she understood too. In fact, this was the natural disposition of the aristocrats of Aslan. However, she still expressed her grat.i.tude for all her help.

The team members of Saruman Snake did not show up. Yan Xiaosu and the rest did not want to impose on them either. At a time like this, w.a.n.g Zheng would focus completely on the preparations for the battle. They had already come this far, so their focus would be on the champions.h.i.+p.

On the contrary, Ai Xiaiolu came and joined them. At this stage, tactics were the least of their concerns. It was more about the determination and display of the team. The current Saruman Snake needed no encouragement. What needed to be researched had already been researched. The rest was up to them now.

Although they had not met often, they felt like good old friends. This was because they had a common center, and this made them closer.

There were also no barriers in communication with Jasper, Laurel, and Gabre. It was relaxed and casual. Laurel had also asked Luo Er along. They were now in the same boat.

Although Luo Er was the daughter of a rather high-ranking chancellor, circ.u.mstances had changed. This was why Luo Er could not be compared to Aina. Bloodlines could not be changed, but chancellors.h.i.+p in the Milky Way Alliance would. Recently, there had been unrest in the council in the Milky Way Alliance. Both Aslan and Arbiter were supporting their own people in the running for the chancellors.h.i.+p of the Milky Way Alliance. This was because Ryan’s administration had not made a big difference in the situation for the Milky Way Alliance. Moreover, his support for the development of the under-developed federal government had also received great backlash. Now he was in a precarious state.

Luo Er could feel the obvious change in her friends around her. Many had begun to alienate her, or their characters had changed drastically. However, there were those who did not change, like Ai Xiaolu, Yan Xiaosu, and the rest. This had greatly impacted Luo Er. Friends that she had originally thought were good friends turned out to be not. Those that she got along well with but did not have close relations.h.i.+ps with and had not known long turned out to be more reliable.

Initially, the conversation surrounded w.a.n.g Zheng and Saruman Snake. However, those present were obviously into politics and economics as well. Since Luo Er was around too, the topic naturally turned towards the issues of the election and the tough situations that were faced by Ryan.

“Luo Er is around today. Although our power is weak, we can’t sit back and do nothing at a time like this. Chancellor Ryan played a pivotal role in keeping the peace in the Milky Way Alliance. As such, he has incurred the wrath of some strong nations. But this is the best choice for the Milky Way Alliance right now,” said Ai Xiaolu.

The council election was something that only the powerhouse in the political and business world could be concerned with. Ai Xiaolu had the rights. So did Laurel, to a small extent, while the rest were just small fish.

Jasper and Gabre were obviously embarra.s.sed. What could the insignificant them do?
