Old Huang

Old Huang was not surprised that Su Jiu did not continue.

With a wave of his hand, Su Jiu projected an image of over a hundred men in black exchanging fire with the garrison troops at the foot of the mountain.

Li Qi glared angrily at the scene before her and said, "Information from last night only arrived today. Spies really are everywhere."

Su Jiu put away the item and said, "Now that we're here, it's fine. You can't be blamed for this either. It's just that some people don't have the hot blood of Huaxia flowing in their bones at all."

Liu Chuang, Kiana, Zhao Yun, and the others spread out.

At that moment, Old Huang's guard spoke up. "I'll go take a look." With that, he headed toward the meeting room doors.

Just as the guard was about to open the door and leave, Su Jiu said, "Tokugawa Ichiro, twenty-seven years old. You enlisted at eighteen, performed outstandingly at twenty-three, and were transferred to Old Huang's side as a guard. Am I right?"

Tokugawa Ichiro's hands trembled, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Su Jiu continued, "When the Sun Country announced its surrender, your grandfather was secretly arranged to become a spy for your Sun Country. Your father was also a spy, and so are you. A piece like you would not be used unless it was a special situation. You know far too much. Do you really think you can get away?"

Old Huang looked at his guard and said, "I already knew you were a spy. I arranged everything today myself, all to clear out the current trash and, incidentally, draw out some spies who haven't been exposed yet."

Li Qi drew her pistol, walked behind Tokugawa Ichiro, and ended the scum whose family had been spies for generations with a single shot.

Old Huang smiled. "I still have to thank the Captain for the spy files. I thought I could use this incident to clear out many spies, but I didn't expect there to be so many more."

It had actually been a spur-of-the-moment idea for Su Jiu. After Zhao Yun finished talking with Old Huang, Su Jiu thought of the television dramas he had watched. Weren't there many spies between countries? So he had Chi Yang infiltrate the databases of many countries, compile the spy files, and send them to Old Huang.

Su Jiu smiled and said, "Let's continue."

Su Jiu gave five Wristwatches to Old Huang, then opened a briefcase containing five red cores. "Old Huang, these five cores can reset the Yan Huang Mech system cores. If we no longer recognize someone as authorized to pilot a mech, we can use the same Wristwatch to enter new pilot information. If the unrecognized person is piloting the mech, they will immediately suffer brain death."

Old Huang solemnly put away the five red cores.

Then Su Jiu took out a USB drive and said, "I have recorded all the information on the Yan Huang Mechs in this USB drive, including weapon manufacturing." With that, Su Jiu handed the USB drive to Old Huang as well.

Old Huang accepted the materials, his hand trembling slightly as he nearly failed to catch them.

At this moment, Li Qi took out a combination case and said, "These are things we prepared for you. You might not think much of them, but they should be somewhat convenient."

Su Jiu opened the case and found ten blue booklets inside. They had no names, no photos, and only a sword on their covers.

Li Qi explained, "We prepared ten of them. Just send us the names and ages, and we'll handle the rest. You only need to attach your own photos."

After thinking for a moment, Su Jiu asked, "Did you create a separate department for this?"

Old Huang said, "Yes. It doesn't have a name yet. We're waiting for you to name it and give yourselves an official designation, so that everything will be legitimate. Don't worry, there won't be any vested interests involved. You won't be subject to restrictions, but we also hope you won't act recklessly."

An official designation would be good. At least we won't be lacking legitimacy. And we won't be restricted.

Thinking this, Su Jiu said, "We can accept that. We'll only do our own work and won't interfere in anything else. Just don't come demanding things from us."

Old Huang nodded. "Fine. What will it be called?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Jiu said, "Blue Sword."

After settling on the name with Old Huang, Su Jiu and the others walked into a wormhole and vanished before him.

Old Huang looked at the five people who had disappeared and said to Li Qi, "I truly didn't expect them to cooperate with us. I thought they would choose the Super God Academy, but they chose us. We can't let them down, can we?"

Li Qi stroked the black case in her hand and said, "Perhaps we are more trustworthy, aren't we?"

Old Huang turned around, patted Li Qi on the shoulder, and said, "They have shown their sincerity. We can't let our allies down." With that, Old Huang strode away.

Li Qi looked at the five mechs and said, "Then let Huaxia be reborn from here."

After returning to the Hyperion, Su Jiu said to Mei, "Aren't you curious why I gave them the mechs?"

Mei looked calmly at Su Jiu and said, "A little."

Su Jiu gently stroked a cherry blossom petal and said, "At present, all we can do is strengthen ordinary people. The Xiong Bing Company has Super Soldiers, but what does Huaxia have? Only people. When the time comes, ordinary people will die in the greatest numbers."

"The Captain doesn't want to see too many people displaced, does he? Or perhaps it's compassion," Mei replied uncertainly.

Su Jiu released the cherry blossom petal in his hand and said, "It isn't compassion. I believe in myself. Sometimes, the more you know, the more you think." With that, Su Jiu slowly walked away.

Mei watched him leave and murmured to herself, "Sometimes, the Captain really is very kind."

Late at night, someone sat beside the Hyperion's main cannon. At the cannon's position, Su Jiu gently stroked Moonwheel and said, "Moonwheel, we're about to begin a great war. But we won't lose. With you, with everyone, and with the person I most want to see... but that person is so far away. When I have time, I should go see them."

After sighing, Su Jiu had Chi Yang open a wormhole and left the Hyperion. He did not notice that a girl behind him had been listening to him all along. She tightened her grip on the sword in her hand, and after Su Jiu left, she also had Chi Yang open a wormhole to the same location.

Su Jiu left the Hyperion and wandered through the bustling Tianhe City without any destination. Then he saw someone unexpected—or rather, an Angel.

An Angel stood atop a skyscraper, looking down at the city below, unaware that she had already been discovered.

Su Jiu emerged from a wormhole behind the Angel and said, "Weren't you supposed to have left by now? Why are you still here?"

Angel Yan turned to look at Su Jiu, who had appeared behind her, and said, "Sit. We aren't enemies now, are we?"

Su Jiu looked around and said, "This place is nice. So spacious. One bed, four sofas, and a coffee table. Do all Angels live this simply?"

Angel Yan smiled without denying it. "It has always been simple, hasn't it?"

Su Jiu had only wanted to take a walk, but he had not expected to run into Angel Yan.
