"Why doesn't the Commander's name appear in the history books?" Li Bai asked.
"That was Mr. Luo Xia's idea. He specifically told us to keep his existence as low-profile as possible. He was always—there was always a chance he might leave, and no one knew when. If we got used to relying on him to win, China would have no hope at all. In the end, before he left for the Island Nation, he even altered the memories of most of the men who had followed him all those years. I swore to Mr. Luo Xia that I'd do everything I could to keep it secret, but someone had to remember what he'd done for us."
"Mr. Luo Xia and I agreed that I had to keep his secret for at least seventy years before making it public. I didn't understand what that time limit meant back then. Now that I've met you, I realize Mr. Luo Xia really was a time traveler," Zheng Hua said with a sigh.
With that, Li Bai had asked all he needed to ask.
At the same time, he'd gotten the answers he needed.
Because just moments earlier, after he'd sent their conversation over to Violet, his robot companions had sent back word: after gathering this information, Sorcerer Supreme The Ancient One had begun trying to pinpoint the point in time where Luo Xia was.
That was probably why Luo Xia had vanished after the War of Resistance.
"Has the Commander come back?" Li Bai asked.
"No. There's been a slight miscalculation, so we need to recalibrate," Violet replied regretfully.
"A miscalculation? What kind?" Li Bai asked eagerly.
"I'm not sure. It seems the Commander was sent to another point in time, one closer to the present," Violet said.
