All of the competition members were about to arrive. The observers had already taken off as well. Kashawen was not so free. Of course, she would not really let Aina watch such a bloody scene.

Kashawen already suspected that Aina had remembered something. That was not important. This was basically a multiple choice question. If Aina said nothing, then everything would proceed as normal. It would be normal for Wang Zheng to not stand out either. She had no ability to deal with a kid. If Aina remembered, and Wang Zheng was tactful, then she would not care. People were not cold-blooded. The third choice, which was the worst option. Aina said it, and Wang Zheng did it. She would not be merciful in that case.

The Aslan Empire was vast, and each step had to be carefully considered. She had never killed anyone, but throughout the course of the empire’s development, there had been too many sacrifices to count. More accurately, every country was like that. Wang Zheng had made the childish choice. Before, she had thought Wang Zheng had his wits, but a pity that he could not pass this hurdle.

And to Wang Zheng, his best course of action now would be to find a safe opportunity to surrender. Losing was better than dying.

Of course, Kashawen also knew that Wang Zheng would not surrender easily. From the first day she laid eyes on him, this boy had really grown.

A pity that reality had brought him to his knees.

Ability X bracelets were indeed on the agenda, but not in this round. Kashawen had merely brought it forward. The mightiest people in this world were not fighters, but those who set the rules.

“Aina, let’s head back. Wang Zheng is quite brave. If he can emerge from these circumstances, then he is just about qualified to talk to a princess.” Kashawen smiled slightly.

Aina mirrored her smile. “It’s just wonderful that the Prime Minister thinks so as well.”

“You seem very confident,” Kashawen noted. Aina was no longer the child of yesterday. She had matured, and it was a game between them, one played along the rules of the queen’s line. She would see Aina humbled, and to do so, she would have to play by some rules. Aina was in the same boat – she could not act with impunity. Neither could bear the consequences of careless actions.

“I have always had confidence in him.” The biggest difference for Aina was that in the past, she could only back off to buy Wang Zheng’s safety. Now, even though she was fighting from behind, Kashawen could no longer afford to be careless either.

“Then we’ll see. Getting first place in SIG is not as easy as you imagine.” Kashawen smiled warmly. “I see you’re still energetic. We still have many things to do.”

Kashawen’s smile still held a hint of exasperation. She liked Aina’s fighting spirit. She was a future queen. Rebelliousness was the first step, and a good sign. But she still needed to be honed. She had poor taste. Many thought that Wang Zheng was an elite fighter. Even if he was not the strongest, he was one of them. But that was just because they had yet to see stronger.

One’s horizon determined one’s life.

Only those at Kashawen’s level could control the Milky Way Alliance, this inconceivably prosperous world that humans had built, and all kinds of top-level powers and secrets.

But anybody at this level could not let it go easily. Power was the greatest vanity in this world. Once attracted, it could not be shaken off.

One by one, figures were dispatched from the air. It was different from dropping normal soldiers and squads. Here, there was no fear, only excitement. The freedom of the air was thrilling to these mighty soldiers.

The two islands were extremely big. Human constructions were concealed in dense forests. There was no risk to the laboratories present. Out of all the experimental grounds in the world, only Aslan had no incidents in the last two decades.

Wang Zheng had already landed. Given his flying speed, there would definitely be enemies within a few hundred meter radius.

Checking through his things, he felt the Ability X bracelet’s inhibitive ability. Wang Zheng knew that this quality must be the best, so there was no need to test it. There had been many tests this month, and he liked these battles.

If anyone wanted to go, come at him.

The laser gun hanging on his waist, and the titanium blade sheathed in his boot, he shouldered the pack, and with a flash, Wang Zheng disappeared into the thick forest.

Did the participating captains act alone?

The exact opposite. Survival tasks were the norm for special troopers. In this process, alliances were necessary. In all kinds of competitions, many were already familiar, and Wang Zheng was also that way. Moreover, those from other countries had known each other since Junior Ability X class, and all kinds of other factors had firmed up their circles and networks. In such a situation, strong alliances were the key to securing the win.

Those who simply pursued power alone and tested themselves did not survive. People always looked for the easy way out.

Strong alliances were extremely terrifying. Basically, when they jumped, they had already arranged the sequence. Those within a few hundred meters could easily meet up. Even if they could not use Ability X, their physical prowess and scouting experience were extremely proficient.

Manalasuo’s Jondi Lilick, Lya Sphinx’s Qiqin Nacchai, Hail Cloud Alliance’s Ai Zhengyang. The three were huddled together. This lineup was rare in the leader tier. If the three of them joined hands, they would bring death on any they met.

“Jondi, I received news that the Aslan imperial family is very interested in you. You had best perform well.” Qiqin Nacchai smiled. “If we meet Wang Zheng, I’ll leave him to you. Zhengyang, what do you say?”

Ai Zhengyang’s beautiful face was still cold. “I don’t like that guy.”

“Oh, but I know that he’s pretty chummy with Ai Xiaolu,” Qiqin said.

“Kill!” This also ticked off Ai Zhengyang. He would not interfere in family business. Ai Xiaolu had acquitted herself well. His younger sister was smart, but smart girls were often muddled in matters of the heart. If Wang Zheng liked Xiaolu, there would be no issue. He would definitely stand with Wang Zheng. But clearly, Wang Zheng liked Aina. Which meant he was playing Ai Xiaolu. And this grated Ai Zhengyang.

As an involved party, Jondi smiled. “No rush. Wang Zheng’s business can be let alone for a while. This is a very interesting hunt. Since we’re here, let’s play. We’ll collect tags first and then watch the show. Even if we don’t make a move, many are anxious to do so.”

There were at least three on the imperial watchlist, and they could not hide. Nobody was a fool. But since Aslan had put a princess on the line, they would also show some sincerity. No matter who gained in the end, that would remain to be fought over.

But Jondi was in no hurry.

“Kashawen seems to have played a good hand. But she forgot something. Now, I’m afraid that the most anxious are Di Maria, Lin Feng, and Qiankun Zadeh,” Qiqin said.

Jondi smirked as well. “So let them go first. You’ve seen Wang Zheng’s power. Even without Ability X, his physical technique is not bad at all.”

“Good is good, but he’s too reckless. He won’t return this time. I think three days. He should be able to hold out for three days, so we must complete our mission within then. If someone else claims his head, you won’t look good either,” Qiqin said.

“Reasonable. I’ll remember this favor.” Jondi nodded gravely.

When it was time to compete, compete. When it was time to cooperate, cooperate. Jondi and Ai Zhengyang were very clear that at their level, they had to be even more conscious of which was which. This world did not belong to a solo berserker. Those types never ended well. Never.

All three lazily faded into the jungle. The hunt had begun, and there was nothing to fear. When these three were together, the rest could only circle. All they needed to do was hunt.
