Chapter 663
On the Galaxy Diva, Mwu kept watching the time. When there were only a few minutes left before the hour, she glanced at Xiao Ran, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, then turned to Sheryl. "It's almost time. Connect the Frontier and bridge the communications to Luca's Mecha, Skull Squadron Unit Four."
"Right away." Sheryl nodded. Xiao Ran opened his eyes at that moment, shook his head lightly, and rose to his feet as he watched Sheryl establish the connection. Smiling, he asked, "I'm not underdressed for an occasion like this, am I?"
Mwu looked over Xiao Ran's fitted black formal attire. It made his body, increasingly perfected through repeated enhancements since becoming a Participant, appear even straighter and more imposing. The air of authority he had cultivated across several worlds was also perfectly displayed under his deliberate control.
But Mwu merely smiled and gently shook her head. Bobby, seated before the helm, gave Xiao Ran a thumbs-up without saying anything. Only Sheryl spared him a glance, a faint smile on her face as she curled her lips. "You look all right, I suppose."
"Since that's coming from a superstar like you, I'm relieved." Xiao Ran shook his head with a smile and walked to the center of the bridge. Only when the screen ahead lit up did Sheryl turn toward him and give him an OK sign. Three images appeared on the bridge's main display: Luca in his cockpit, the Frontier's bridge, and a specially prepared backdrop within New Zeon for this address, with Char standing at its center.
Xiao Ran nodded first. The Galaxy Diva's cameras transmitted his full image into all three communication links. "There are only a few minutes left. Is everyone ready?"
Char raised his brows slightly over the connection.
