Ace Of Terrans

Quinn glanced at the back of Steward's head for a second and using single-hand signs asked, 'Do you want me to get in his body?'

Shi Lang did not act too surprised and asked, 'Will you not face any backlash?'

Quinn nodded slightly, and Shi Lang shook his head in denial. He used his signs to tell her, 'You will be crucial in the future, we cannot risk getting any members injured.'

The girl nodded and Zyesha said, "Lang, this guy is not easy, you two better shut up. I can see his ears twitching as if listening to movements."

Shi Lang nodded and turned his head outside to look at the scenery. Quinn took his hint and stopped communicating with her hands. The young man asked, "Steward Hash, are you responsible for the transportation of the guests in the palace?"

Steward Hash nodded and said, "Yes, Sir. May I ask why you are asking?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Oh, when we arrived, it was Captain Ameris who took us to the palace, so I was curious if you were sick back then?"

Steward Hash replied, "Thank You for your concern, Sir. I was indeed sick."

"Oh, may I ask what happened?" asked Shi Lang, as if he was greatly interested.

The old steward replied, "A Parmici Equus, the animal used to pull the carriage went out of control, I was injured in the process to control it."

Shi Lang gasped and asked, "Steward Hash, you are an elder, how could you be so careless with your life? Are you recovering well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Sir. But slaves do not have much emotion. Yes, I have recovered well." said the old man.

Shi Lang asked, "What do you mean by slaves, Steward Hash? Do you mean to say that you are serving the palace out of your free will?"

The steward hurriedly shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, Young Sir. My ancestors were attendants in the palace, and so am I. We consider ourselves slaves to the true ruler of the empire."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I see that is a very admirable spirit. How long have you been serving as the steward in the palace, and is transportation the only thing that you are responsible for?"

The old man replied, "I also look after the stables, Sir."

Shi Lang nodded and saw that the carriage has arrived in front of the spaceport. They stopped at the entrance, the soldiers confirmed that the carriage was coming from the palace, and they allowed them to pass.

Quinn and Shi Lang got down from the carriage with Zyesha, the young man told the Steward to wait while they go to the ship, it will not take them more than five minutes. The old man nodded and stood with the carriage. Quinn and Shi Lang were led to the Terran space vessel by another guard.

Shi Lang noticed that the hatch door was opened, he felt indignant with this treatment. These people were going inside and outside their ship as they wished. He did not like this. The young man and Quinn were about to get inside the ship when the former suddenly stopped and said, "You stay here."

He said to the guard in lead. This person was a middle-aged man with sharp features, he did not like this Terran telling him what to do. He said, "Remember that this is Nestia and not your Terran hole. You have no right to tell me what to do."

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and said, "You better lower your voice when talking to me. We are the guests here, so have some courtesy and do not make me look down on your empire. Stand guard here, which is your duty. Do not try to act like a majestic ruler."

That said, the boy went inside the hatch door, but suddenly, his senses went off like a nuclear bomb and he ducked. The guard who tried to pretend to be a big shot just now had attacked Shi Lang with his spear.

However, he did not expect this boy to avoid his attack. Shi Lang avoided the attack because of his ability, however, before he could counter, Quinn beside him took out the sword from her waist and attacked the dazed guard with a loud shout.

She used all the strength of her body and with one attack she sent the opponent flying away. She took out her walkie-talkie-type communicator and said, "Captain, some guard at the spaceport tried to attack Shusha Ace. I have neutralized him, but can you hurry over just in case?"

Ameris was surprised to hear this on the other side and said, "Yes, I am coming right away."

The guards in the spaceport heard the noise from this and rushed over to check the reason, they found Shi Lang standing behind the palace guard. A soldier asked, "What is happening here?"

Quinn replied, "Call your superior, Captain Ameris from the palace guards will be here shortly, and you better not take this man away. He is charged with the crime of disrespecting the imperial guest and also attacking him with the intent to kill. Anyone who dares to side with him will be treated the same."

The soldier heard the cold words and dared not delay. He used the communicator to call over the captain while the rest of the soldiers formed a parameter around the ship. Shi Lang said, "I will be going in, Zyesha needs medicine."

Quinn nodded, and the boy led Zyesha inside, what they needed was a few minutes for Shi Lang to use the mainframe and then get it linked to his communicator. This way they will be able to stay in touch with The Federal President from outside.

...

Ameris and the captain of the spaceport troops arrived at the same time. Ameris ignored everyone and asked Quinn about what happened, and the latter replied, "Shusha Ace and I were being led by this man, when Shusha Ace told him not to board the ship with us, this man told him that this is Nestia and not the Federal Hole, and Shusha Ace is not qualified to order him around.

Then Shusha Ace reminded this man of his status of an imperial guest and told him to be respectful, lest his actions demean the glory of our empire. He told this man that he was a guard and not a majestic ruler to order him around. The next thing was this person stabbing at the back of Shusha Ace's head with his spear, thanks to his perception, Shusha Ace came out safely, and then I countered this person before calling you over."

Ameris nodded and said, "You did good."

Hearing her words the captain of the spaceport grit his teeth and said, "What a good palace guard, how dare you attack my troops, if there was any misunderstanding then you should have came to me first, who allowed you to attack my troops?"

Ameris sneered and said, "If the leader of the imperial guests was to be harmed by the time you arrived, would you be able to answer her majesty?"

The captain was choked and Ameris said, "I will report this incident to her majesty and she will deal with you bunch of rowdies. Wastes of imperial money and resources. Take this guy into custody and have him appear at the court tomorrow."

Ameris and the spaceport captain might have the same designation but the status of the former was higher as she reported directly to the Queen. After the scene was cleared, the people did not enter the spaceship but waited silently. After ten minutes, Shi Lang walked out with Zyesha. He said, "We can go now?"

Ameris nodded and bowed to the young man as she said, "I apologize for the transgression Shusha Ace."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "It is fine, I just hope there will be no second time."

Ameris nodded and then she led the two back to the carriage. The mission was successful but Shi Lang was thinking if Quinn's ability had any loopholes. However, they could not talk in front of Ameris. The journey was quiet, Zyesha did tell Shi Lang that the old man was paying them even a higher attention, but the young man did not say anything.

The carriage arrived in front of the palace and Shi Lang got off first with Zyesha, he turned to the old Steward and said, "Thank you for taking me to the spaceport."

The old Steward bowed his head. Shi Lang left with Quinn in tow. Ameris wanted to say something but she had to notify the queen first about the incident at the spaceport. This was her priority. Shi Lang and Quinn arrived back to the corridor where his room was located and the boy turned around to thank the lady when he saw her eyes roll back before regaining her control.

Shi Lang did not care about her confused gaze and said, "Thank you for protecting me."

Then he entered the room, the first thing he did was to contact the whole team.
