Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1035: Galaxy

The highest-ranking leader on Delmar planet looked suspiciously at the devious subordinate in front of him. To be honest, although he is the superior, he still feels a bit afraid when seeing this colleague’s twisted face.

As his colleague and nemesis, Shorty is well aware of his various deeds.

Despite this average appearance, this Qunzi has managed to survive in Delmar’s political arena for years and has risen to become a leader in an important department, showing he possesses abilities beyond the ordinary and a wealth of cunning strategies.

However, he mustn’t show this to his subordinates, or he’d lose face. ”What are you planning to do?” he asked Shorty, ”You can’t act rashly against these people, as they are not ordinary individuals.

We’ve already failed twice in front of them, and that man from the extraterrestrial planet has also warned us. If we dare try any tricks again, he surely won’t let us off like this anymore.

”I know, this is why I subtly suggested you not agree to their demands,” Shorty said insidiously. ”If you really fulfill the promises to those three by shepherding all the disaster victims properly, we’ll have no time to deal with the three of them.

Now, since we’ve agreed, with the four days they gave us, we have a lot we can do.

Shorty said viciously, ”What you said is correct. None of these three opponents are ones we can easily mess with. So, if we strike, it must be swift and fierce!

His superior said worriedly, ”But we’ve witnessed their strengths firsthand, and if any of them manage to escape, their vengeance will be more than we can handle.

Right, so we must be cautious. If we leave our opponents half-dead, we just give them a chance to retaliate. We might as well continue to be humble, fulfill their wishes, send them off from Delmar respectfully.

Shorty chuckled slyly and looked at his superior, ”But this is something I cannot do. How can I be trampled underfoot and still smile up at them?

Shorty sneered, ”Instead of that, why not go all-out against them for mutual destruction?”

Hearing Shorty speak so uncompromisingly, without a hint of compromise, his superior was rather unimpressed.

This Shorty is infamously notorious in Delmar’s politics, often described as vile, insidious, ruthless, and vengefully persistent, but never brave.

Since you’ve made up your mind to face these three extraterrestrial people, as your colleague, and now your ally, I will not step back; you can rest assured.

However,” the highest-ranking leader’s tone shifted, ”we may still be at a disadvantage against these three extraterrestrial people. Should we bring him in?

Shorty was bewildered at his superior’s words, not knowing who this ”him” referred to.

Feigning depth, his superior smiled mysteriously without saying more.

Let’s turn our attention back to Jiang Cheng and the others at the inn. Despite the late hour, none of them felt sleepy after all that had transpired.

Xuran and Ba Lv, after freshening up, instinctively headed to their teacher’s room. Jiang Cheng was naturally awake, sitting at the desk, intently studying the holographic starmap before him.

In front of him was something toy-like, containing dozens of planets miniaturized by a factor of N, moving according to their orbits. Seeing his two female students enter, Jiang Cheng excitedly pointed to the farthest green planet and said, ”I seem to have seen this planet before, at least this is the second time I’ve seen it on a starmap.”

He tapped the table, gesturing to Yanran and Ba Lv, saying, ”If we can land on this planet to confirm it, I’ll be more confident.”

He paused briefly, ”It’s been so long since I’ve departed from Earth, I wonder if anything has happened there.”

His two students surely didn’t come just to discuss this matter.

”Teacher, haven’t you noticed how easy it was to speak to those two top men from Delmar?” Ba Lv, being impulsive, was the first to voice, ”They’re certainly up to no good!”

Indeed, although those two were forced to yield under our control, their behavior seemed too compliant. If we hadn’t dealt with them before, seeing how they act, anyone would assume they were gentlemanly.

Yanran scoffed and said immediately, ”But who knows, they’re rotten to the core inside!”

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

Noticing their teacher not expressing an opinion, Yanran and Ba Lv glanced at each other, a trace of surprise lingering in their expressions.

Could it be that their teacher has already devised a plan?

They couldn’t believe Jiang Cheng couldn’t see through those two’s malicious intentions.

”You should go rest, it’s getting late, and we have things to do tomorrow.” Jiang Cheng evaded their question, gently steering the conversation away.

Since their teacher said so, neither Yanran nor Ba Lv insisted on continuing the discussion. They bade Jiang Cheng goodnight and returned to sleep with a sense of doubt.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t the slightest bit sleepy; his gaze left the starmap and he began to ponder quietly.

Now, even his two disciples have noticed there’s something off about those two, so of course, he wouldn’t be oblivious.

He just hoped these two wouldn’t test his patience. They are smart, especially that Shorty — Jiang Cheng could tell, this person is deeply scheming and treacherous, making it necessary for anyone who interacts with him to be exceedingly cautious.

Hopefully, he won’t rely on cunning and attempt any unrealistic actions. Should he dare attempt such a move, he would only end up hurting himself, fearing that he might find it difficult to extricate himself when the time comes.

Jiang Cheng coldly chuckled, composed his thoughts, and returned his gaze to the starmap, reflecting once again as he watched the various planets orbiting continuously.

The night had gradually faded, with a faint light appearing in the sky.

As the day began to break, Jiang Cheng urged Xuran and Ba Lv to get up quickly. After a simple wash-up, they immediately had breakfast, knowing the disaster victims were waiting for their help. Neither Xuran nor Ba Lv had any complaints, as aiding these unfortunates gave them a sense of atonement.
