Chapter 740: Enjoying Life

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Getting hurt was a grave matter to Ye Zisu and the rest, but Achilles and Lie Xin did not really take it seriously. Things were fine as long as nobody died. Getting hurt was nothing out of the ordinary.

Achilles had gained a strong interest in Lie Xin’s breakthrough. This was the true power of the Lie Flame Technique – it completely disregarded all of the usual rules. The restrictions of Tita Star were meaningless to her. In fact, the special characteristics of Tita Star seemed to serve as firewood for Lie Xin’s Lie Flame Technique, igniting her powers instead of inhibiting them.

Wood gave rise to fire – this was an axiom of the five elements. The theory was simple but putting it into practice was very difficult. The power from such an interaction could only be harnessed once one’s strength reached a certain level. Lie Xin’s attack demonstrated that she indeed possessed such skill.

When it came to Lie Guang’s death... honestly Achilles was rather apathetic about it. This was simply the nature of the people from the Moon. They were rather subdued when it came to emotions. A more rational reason was that Achilles did not really know Lie Guang personally either.

It was only that he had to manage Lie Xin’s emotions as well. The both of them were honored guests of the people of Tita, so they had free access to any area they wished to visit. Lie Xin was especially interested in the hunting activities of the people of Tita, for the giant beasts here gave her an outlet for emotional release.

Three days later, Wang Zheng and Tyrant Su were discharged at the same time. In fact, Tyrant Su was actually able to leave the hospital on the day he was admitted, but he was unwilling to do so. He was a hero that faced off with an Earth Grade assassin after all, so surely he was entitled to a more thorough treatment. At the same time, he wanted to take the chance to meet up with pretty girls – the special treatment ward’s nurses were indeed of excellent quality after all.

Lan Ling and the others were overwhelmingly busy. While the crisis regarding the assassin seemed to have subsided, the aftermath was troublesome to deal with as well. The people of Tita did not have to rely on any particular empire, and only had to report to the Milky Way Alliance. The passing of the current crisis would generate a large amount of public pressure. Furthermore, many nations also did not wish for a single empire to gain total control over Tita Star, for this did not match their interests after all. With such an uproar, the person behind it all would definitely cease their efforts. Numerous other nations would be keeping a close eye on the situation after all.

Heaven’s whereabouts were entirely unknown. He had probably already left Tita Star. After all, a man with a broken arm would have been very easily recognizable on Tita Star. The security at the space port was not that stringent either. As far as Lan Ling was concerned, her first order of business would have been to quickly send that demon of pestilence away either way.

Wang Zheng did not harbor any enmity towards Heaven, their battle was one of life and death either way. He was even slightly thankful that he went easy on Yan Xiaosu. In return, he convinced Lan Ling’s side to stop monitoring the matter so closely. Wang Zheng’s skill level was still far from that of Earth Grade, so this battle actually helped him learn a great deal. Recalling the fight now, he also realised that Heaven did not truly have a strong intent to murder him. Things may have concluded very differently if that had been the case instead.

Why would such a person become an assassin?

If he was truly a professional, he would not care much about any other rules since killing his target would be his only task. As such, Yan Xiaosu really had to count his blessings after escaping from such a calamitous scenario.

“Boss, I’ve arranged a party, let’s celebrate our new lease on life!”

Yan Xiaosu was filled to the brim with optimism. Life was what it was – falling asleep was pretty much the same as dying for a bit anyway. Yan Xiaosu had always been a hedonist, so he was naturally more optimistic about things. Of course it was not all about play for him. On one hand, he wanted to find a way for Wang Zheng to let loose, and on the other hand he wanted to gather Jasper and his followers together in order to gain some influence using this matter.

After hearing Yan Xiaosu’s explanation, Wang Zheng smiled. He only roughly understood Yan Xiaosu’s business plans. “I don’t really know much about these things, so don’t count on me.”

Yan Xiaosu nonchalantly waved his hands, “Boss, all you need to do is show up and sit down. Leave everything else to me, and things will be settled.”

Wang Zheng nodded slightly. After such a huge battle, relaxing for abit would be great as well. At the same time he could host Lie Xin and Achilles as well. The two of them had been a great help to him. If not for them, there would have been more chaos at Mu Sen’s end.

“I’ll join in the fun as well!”

“Awesome, I’ll get someone to organize things. However, when I start to brag to others, you better not pull the rug out from under me!”

Wang Zheng could not help but be amused. “Little brat, as long as you don’t go too far I’ll leave you alone.”

“Roger that. Just wait for my news, Boss.” Yan Xiaosu turned away to go make arrangements.

If one wanted to host a party, hitting up Jasper was definitely a good thing to do. A direct Skylink call was all that was needed – that young brat was used to it.

Jasper’s nervous face greeted Yan Xiaosu as he picked up the Skylink call. “Brother Yan, what’s been happening these few days? How’s the situation? I couldn’t seem to get a hold of you.”

Jasper was genuinely worried. The people of Tita had implemented a media blackout on the incident, so nobody really understood what was going on. The person that Jasper was most concerned about was Yan Xiaosu. If anything were to happen to him, the Tita project would fall apart immediately.

“Look at how breathless you are. There’s nothing to be worried about. It was merely a single Earth Grade assassin, not like there were eight or ten of them. The matter has already been settled. I was nearly killed by that guy though, and it certainly wasn’t easy to get out. I’m thinking of holding a party so that I can celebrate for abit.”

Jasper was stunned. The matter was settled? From the way Yan Xiaosu put it, he seemed to be implying that he was personally involved?

He did in fact hear news about how Heaven was crippled as he retreated, but on the people of Tita’s end there seemed be little to no damage... this was rather miraculous.

“That scum nearly killed me. He better not let me catch him next time. I’ll definitely squash him then!” Yan Xiaosu mumbled to himself.

Jasper’s face was flushed red, for he was stunned. He was fortunate enough to have met an Earth Grade expert personally some time ago, so he knew the level of battle strategy that an Earth Grade expert possessed. It was a level of battle strategy that allowed them to match up against an entire mecha squad. The matter was settled just like that? If he did not know that Yan Xiaosu had limits when it came to boasting, he would not have believed any of this.

“I’ll prepare a banquet immediately. How about a pool party?”

“Sounds great. This is great, go get more people to come, I want the party to be as lively as possible...” Yan Xiaosu let out a smile that all men knew all too well. The details were very important here.

The party was held at a villa with an enormous swimming pool. This was a tourist destination that had been built in the early days in order to attract the rich and powerful to visit Tita Titan Star. It was built in a style that blended mankind’s civilized nature with the uninhibited style of the people of Tita. This place was now a monument of Tita Titan Star. Without the right connections, it would be impossible to book a stay here even if one was willing to pay.

By the time Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu had rushed over, the party was already very lively. Besides Jasper and his crew, there were other business people there as well. As the business expanded, new connections were naturally made. The number people who wished to join in only continued to grow over time. Moreover, Jasper understood Yan Xiaosu very well. If there were too little people, there was no way for Yan Xiaosu to flaunt his heroism.

Of course, there was an abundance of pretty girls as well. Jasper and his friends were rather well-known on Tita Star. Once invites were sent out, pretty girls naturally flocked over.

Jasper and Gabre approached Yan Xiaosu right as he arrived. Gabre was especially excited. He grabbed onto Yan Xiaosu and looked him up and down. “Was the Earth Grade assassin really defeated by you, brother Yan?”

Yan Xiaosu was stumped. F*ck, how did this rumor spread so quickly?

However, the rumour this time was one that was music to his ears. He let out a hearty laugh, “Where did you hear such rumors from? But then again it’s not like it’s untrue, I played a key role at a crucial time after all.” Bragging was not a crime after all.

As Jasper was steadying himself, he noticed Wang Zheng. At first glance he seemed rather ordinary, but after a second take, there seemed to be an aura around him that made it obvious that he was not just some normal person. Jasper was very confident in his ability to judge people at first sight. With a laugh, he asked: “Brother Yan, who is your friend here?”

“Heh, let me introduce him to you. This is Wang Zheng, my boss. You guys can just call him brother Zheng. Boss, these two are ones that I’ve mentioned to you about. They are Jasper and Gabre. They are brothers that I’ve been through some tough times with, so you can count on them.”

Brother Yan’s boss? Could this be... Jasper and Gabre’s eyes suddenly lit up. Both of them had their own network of informants, and they were no idiots either. Behind Yan Xiaosu’s back was a mysterious figure who never revealed his identity, and the connections that Yan Xiaosu was able to make on Tita Star were all maintained through this person.

“Oh, so you are brother Zheng!”

“We did not expect brother Zheng to come. We didn’t really prepare much, so hope that you’ll forgive us for that.”

Wang Zheng laughed as he gave a firm handshake to both Jasper and Gabre. “No need to take care of me, my main goal here is just to relax.”

Jasper and Gabre’s moods got better instantly. Their heart was finally at ease, for being able to meet this man personally meant that Yan Xiaosu now truly trusted them.

After entering the villa, the first thing that Yan Xiaosu did was to change into a pair of swimming trunks. He ran to the diving board beside the pool. His gaze wandered from the pretty girls in the pool to the pretty girls by the side before returning once again to the girls in the pool. Here I come!

Crash! A cannonball entered the water!

The crowd went wild. The live DJ sensed the mood and immediately turned up the volume of the music.

Wang Zheng got into the water as well. As he dived into the pool, the water washed away the fatigue of his body. The experience he gained from his battle with Heaven slowly crystalized in his mind. Relaxing allowed him to remember the details much better.

A few pretty girls recognized Yan Xiaosu as Mister Yan and decisively flaunted their cleavage at him. Yan Xiaosu began to flirt incessantly, but being the person he was, he was beginning to scare the girls away after only a couple of words.

Jasper and Gabre did not enter the water, but simply sunbathed at the side instead.

The both of them sent some women away as they quietly exchanged their opinions with each other.

Wang Zheng’s arrival was a surprise, so what should their next step be? Tita Star’s crisis management was rather well done, and the two of them were pretty well established. After experiencing such an incident, later developments would go on without a hitch. Perhaps it was time for them to increase their investment.

“I intend to take a risk for this next round.” Jasper glanced at Gabre. They were in it together for so long, and while they got through the most daunting part of process without much a mishap, it could be said that the two of them had went through some tough times together. As such, they were comfortable with exchanging their honest opinions on the matter.

Gabre was stumped. In his previous discussions with Jasper, he felt that it was about time that he started to limit his investment in Tita Titan Star. He had no qualms about cooperating with Yan Xiaosu, but this was simply a way for him to manage such a risky investment. Tita Star’s future was not that clear-cut after all.

However, it was obvious that Jasper wanted to go for an aggressive play this time. He was redoubling his efforts. The additional funds required for investment was not a huge problem here. The main issue was that he was putting his future in the company and his position within his family on the line. The results of his decision would greatly affect these two things. If he were to succeed, it would be a significant achievement and he would be able to rise up extremely quickly.

If he were to fail instead, then he would enter an abyss with no chance of redemption. He would lose the favor of his family, and it would also be extremely difficult for him to gain followers and re-establish himself later on.

Jasper smiled. “This is my decision, but you have to join in as well. Actually, it’s really risky.”

To be honest, Jasper himself was not really gifted at anything. His only innate ability was that he was able to recognize the talents of others. Yan Xiaosu seemed rather ordinary at first glance, but after further interaction he felt like this was someone who had lady luck on his side. While this may have sounded like a vague claim without much evidence, Jasper truly believed in things like this. This was the reason he took the initiative to seek out Yan Xiaosu and maintained relations with him. On this day his perseverance had been rewarded, for there was finally tangible proof that his judgment had been correct. Even if Yan Xiaosu liked to boast and was pretentious at times, was there anyone at all who genuinely disliked him?
