Huiyin was easy to deal with. It was not that Huiyin was not clever – she was precisely the opposite. In order for her to be happy, she would simplify herself and do what she wanted to do, although she would relent occasionally. Wang Zheng knew that if he asked Huiyin for help, she would definitely think of a way to help him. But no matter the outcome, it would greatly inconvenience her.

But after mulling it over, Wang Zheng could not come up with a solution. Zisu and Tyrant Su were busy trying to come up with methods to raise the issue, but they were futile. Such disputes had a wide influence. Once started, they were not easily quelled.

Of those around him, the one who was most likely to be effective would be Ai Xiaolu.

Xiaolu was recently caught up in the revival of the Icefire Battle Team. Hail Cloud Alliance and Astina Federation had brought newcomers over. If the Greatest King competition opened a new round, these people would give everyone a surprise.

As the Hail Cloud Alliance’s big sister figure from the same country, she could not possibly abandon her own national Battle Team. Of course, she had to take care of Saruman Snake Battle Team, but Saruman Snake was fine by itself. This was a matter of network. With a country as a base, there would be an endless supply of talent, but such composite groups did not have many connections, and could only attract students from the smaller federations, which were unable to form their own Battle Teams. And the selection rate from these students was very low. And even so, these students’ first choice would be the bigger Battle Teams.

They did not simply consider the Battle Team result, but also its influence. If they could perform well in a big Battle Team with influence, the outcome would be different. They could go back and say that they had been in Aslan Battle Team, and did so and so. Luckily Saruman Snake Battle Team’s results had been unparalleled, and they were able to attract newcomers.

But Wang Zheng was not flustered by it, and Ai Xiaolu could not run it without his participation as well. The Battle Team’s training was now largely run by Achilles. He was very similar to Wang Zheng, but Ai Xiaolu could not seem to click with him. He was suave and elegant, but incomparable to Wang Zheng’s grounded personality. And this person had worked with Lear. No matter the reason, Ai Xiaolu knew that Lear and Wang Zheng walked different paths. Although they were not as immiscible as water and fire, but the differences were apparent. She was not too clear of the internal happenings of the Solar System. Lie Xin had been the same.

Ai Xiaolu had eagerly accepted Wang Zheng’s invitation, but as they busied themselves with school matters, Ai Xiaolu’s heart had gradually calmed itself. She had always been a calm person, and a smart one as well. Wang Zheng’s… feelings were too complex. 2 Aslan princesses in tow. Honestly, this was not something that a normal girl could accept. She could feel that Snow Li was of the same mind, but Snow Li had chosen to watch quietly from the sidelines. Icefire Battle Team had extended an invitation to her, which was after all her own country. They hoped that a strong sniper like Snow Li would return. Honestly, this was a difficult situation for Snow Li. It was, after all, her motherland’s Battle Team. Many military schools in the Hail Cloud Alliance, including her own alma mater, were watching. Even her alma mater’s principal had come to her, and it was not something that Snow Li could reject.

Although she had not agreed immediately, but Ai Xiaolu knew that Snow Li would be hard pressed to hold out.

Ai Xiaolu looked at Wang Zheng. Suddenly, she really wanted to see his reaction, and spilled the Snow Li situation.

Wang Zheng was indeed glum. Saruman Snake Battle Team had just started to move to a good level. Their formation work and affinity were not bad. If there was another iteration, their improvements would definitely be marked. But the main sniper leaving was a big setback. Was this the start of more troubles just as peace set in?

“Snow hasn’t said yes, but I think it would be difficult for her to hold out.”

Wang Zheng nodded. “It’s my oversight. If Snow wants to go, I agree.”

Smiling, Wang Zheng said “As an opponent, I won’t go easy. Tell her to prepare, haha.”

“Really? I think if you ask her, she’ll stay.” Ai Xiaolu checkmated Wang Zheng. She did not know when she had started to enjoy seeing Wang Zheng’s discomforted and troubled face.

Wang Zheng stared, then smiled affably. “I don’t have the authority to do so. And this way is better for her.”

Ai Xiaolu leaned back irritated. “Spit it out then, what did you come to me for?”

Wang Zheng smiled. “I’m sure you can guess, it’s the situation at Tita Star.”

Ai Xiaolu sat up straight. “I know that you, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu have a large program on Tita Star. I have an interest too. But in business, investment must result in profit. The way things are, Tita Star is a hot potato – whoever touches it dies. If you need money, or help in developing a new market, I can help you, no problems at all.

Ai Xiaolu spoke frankly because of her special connection with Wang Zheng. Just like Wang Zheng was always straight to the point, she had no need to prevaricate as well.

Wang Zheng laughed bitterly. Ai Xiaolu knew that Wang Zheng was a little stubborn, and valued his relationships too much. This was a weakness, but one that was hard to criticize him for. “Wang Zheng, the Tita people are very friendly, but they don’t understand that this world belongs to the humans. This means that they will never find justice. The benefits of the super-gravity energy ore production are too high, and they can’t swallow it. They must comply on this matter.”

“If I said that the biggest beneficiary of Tita Star is actually me, would you have a solution then?” Wang Zheng said.

Ai Xiaolu started, then laughed. “You’re referring to the mining rights of OMG? Wang Zheng, in the world of capital, that’s nothing. Honestly, once Tita Star is controlled, the entire profit will be reassigned. Hail Cloud Alliance, as one of the top 10 superpowers, will definitely get a share. I can’t persuade the family.”

At such a high level, Ai Xiaolu could not simply do it by feel.

“What I meant was that I have 30% of the rights of all the resources on Tita Titan Star.” Wang Zheng said.

Ai Xiaolu was smiling sympathetically, as though willing Wang Zheng to understand the cruel nature of business competition.

…

“How much? 30%???” Ai Xiaolu bolted upright.

Wang Zheng shrugged, a little bothered. “I only found out afterwards. Tita Star and the Lan family’s decision when they entered the Milky Way Alliance.”

Ai Xiaolu stared at Wang Zheng, speechless.

Were these people crazy?

Ai Xiaolu had met Mu Sen before. That was definitely one wily man. Tita elders’ intellect trended high, especially in the human aspects. It was excellent in using the worst of human nature to secure benefits.

“How did the Tita people pass this decision?” Ai Xiaolu was still a little suspicious. She knew that Wang Zheng did not lie, but this news was too shocking. Even if the Lan family had been completely moved after that last fiasco, how would the Tita people have agreed? Even Mu Sen’s word would not have been strong enough.

“I’m Titan Rara Durai’s Ada,” Wang Zheng said.

Ada… Ai Xiaolu was clear about this. On Tita Star, this had connotations of mentor, father, spiritual leader. If one was the Ada of Titan, then his existence was like the father and god of the Tita giants. Thinking back to her experience on Tita Star, each giant had treated Wang Zheng with an uncommon reverence. She had not treated it seriously then, but now she could see that she had underestimated this man.

“Wang Zheng, what other secrets do you have that I don’t know about?” Ai Xiaolu playfully asked Wang Zheng. This bastard. She had finally quietened her heart down. He always had a way to stir her up again.

Wang Zheng waved a bothered hand. “Nothing else, that’s all I have. What do I have that you don’t know about? In truth, whether in terms of profits or relationships, I don’t wish to see Tita Star descend into battle. If there’s any solution, I won’t pass up on it.”

Ai Xiaolu smiled. “Well, that was how it was at first, but now things are different. 30 percent… Do you have any proof? I need it to work with.”

“There was, in the negotiations for entering the Milky Way Alliance. But it’s sealed at the highest secrecy classification. If there’s a need, I’ll get Tita to send it over.”

“Don’t worry. When have you ever heard of the Ai Financial Group not being discrete? This is necessary in order to get the capital market moving. As long as you can provide it, I can go and negotiate!”

“Mm! As long as it can alleviate Tita Star’s situation, just tell me anything you need!”

“And you! Let me warn you not to reveal your trump card so easily when talking business next time. It will affect your future investments. As for the family, we would have helped you for your help when we were in need. But for someone who has 30% of Tita Star, we’re willing to put down big money to help you. In this world, the biggest investment is people. Leave the rest to me.”

Ai Xiaolu said. If Wang Zheng did not have this status, then no matter how much he had done, the family would never agree. But Wang Zheng with this status was someone else. There was no need for expenses, because the family was not short on money. But what Wang Zheng could repay them in the future was beyond money. If a family wanted to endure any crisis, then what it needed most was reliable friends. Without question, Wang Zheng had now fulfilled the criteria.

Wang Zheng grinned. “I told you.”

Suddenly, Ai Xiaolu felt that Wang Zheng was the most cunning guy. He looked foolish, and was anything but.

But she liked it…
