Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 1032 - Easter Sunday

The little miner w.a.n.g Zheng propped two bottles of beer and went to send his greetings. He delivered the drinks, but didn’t get much back. It was like hitting a dog with a meat bun – all loss. This Zuckerberg was a petty creature. You could see that he had the eye, which was why he would be a.s.signed here. w.a.n.g Zheng felt that the moment he spoke of something sensitive, he would just change the topic. w.a.n.g Zheng also did not want to press. The other had given him some face. Saying more would be ruining their relations.h.i.+p. He was afraid that Zuckerberg was surmising that he was a problematic one as well.

Besides those who he did not care about, like Old Xiao and Zuckerberg, even the little lackey was privy to his situation. It was just that many of them were not confidantes. He really needed to consider his situation.

On the way back, w.a.n.g Zheng was really considering his own “holier than thou” aura. It was not completely his fault. He had just finished the Greatest King Compet.i.tion at Elite Academy X. w.a.n.g Zheng could hide his aura, but not his style. He just did not seem like an unyielding guy. And those ace undercover agents not only needed to be capable, their disguises also needed to be up to par. They were professional and masterful in many areas. At least it did not look like he was an undercover agent in any way.

But the drink with Zuckerberg had not been in vain. At least he now knew the current situation. The three great powers were competing vigorously. Mainly, it seemed like the Bill family and the Julian family were already moving, and had gone public about it. While the Hong Lirong was content to watch them duke it out.

If the Bill family finished off the Julian family, Hong Lirong would be next on the list. But it seemed like Hong Lirong was in no hurry. Either they were biding their time, or they had some sort of agreement.

Besides, the current situation was precarious. It might become an uproar at any time. And as for what exactly his own Easter plan was, he had no clue. He seemed to be making no progress.

And on the flip side, the school had no reason to make things harder for him. Most of the time, all that came from the Alliance Council was just a name… Were they treating dead horses like live ones?

This mission was really something. No wonder Professor Jiang Feng had been so serious. And he had been a little overconfident as well. But this was not bad. At least it was an experience. And at least Charcoal had been lured out, to settle one of his life problems. Profit!

Back in his room, he realized that the little guy was awake. A pair of gleaming, black eyes looked back at him. At this moment, he realized that this guy’s eyes were quite bright.

Eyes were the windows to the soul, and also a response to one’s spiritual strength.

“Why not sleep a bit more?” w.a.n.g Zheng smiled slightly. He also knew that this young one might be troubled. But in terms of expecting anything from the kid, that would be asking too much. Children were children.

The youngster’s eyes were a little red, but he quickly recovered, and he had an arrogant smirk. “You think that two bottles of drink can get you the information you want? Naivety is not a crime, but one as naïve as you surviving in such a job is pretty much a wonder.”

w.a.n.g Zheng was surprised. Something was up with today. Ever since arriving at Fallen Paradise, he had been disdained from all sides. Even this urchin. He was really not cut out to be an undercover.

“I’m just a miner,” w.a.n.g Zheng said without much feeling.

“Is that right? You don’t have the bearing of a miner at all. In word and deed, you’ve had the highest education. You move well, have good reflexes, even dodging the laser. Fufu, if my guess is right, you must have been betrayed and sent here. Pitiful,” the little guy said confidently.

w.a.n.g Zheng shook his head with exasperation. This little guy was conceited. He ate and lived on his dime, yet was still arrogant. w.a.n.g Zheng did not hold back. He grabbed the kid and began spanking him.

He let him yelp until his voice ran out.

w.a.n.g Zheng stared at him. This little guy was gritting his teeth and staring at him angrily.

“Little squirt, don’t come and play all grown up with me. Out with it. Who are you and what’s your purpose in getting close to me?”

Piglet stared daggers at w.a.n.g Zheng with an uncowed manner. “Who’s interested in a poor miner like you?”

“If you don’t say, I’ll spank you till your bottom swells.” Saying this, he raised a hand again. Against such a rebellious one, logic did not work. Perhaps violence would be a bit more effective.

“You only know how to bully kids!”

w.a.n.g Zheng was incensed now. “At least you know you’re a kid. Say your name then.”

“Piglet!”

“Pig? I asked for your real name. Don’t give me all that. What’s your dad called? What’s your mom called? What do your parents do? Why are you acting pitiful and trying to ingratiate yourself with me? And why are people after you? Are you really not going to give me an explanation?” w.a.n.g Zheng demanded.

He had not pressed for answers, but that did not mean the questions were not asked.

Instantly, the little urchin’s eyes were wet again. w.a.n.g Zheng felt troubled. He had heard that children were troublesome, and he did not know what had possessed him to bring the kid back. Well, he had taken him under his wing now.

“Alright, I won’t ask anymore. You tell me what you can. It’s about time now.” w.a.n.g Zheng never knew what to do with girls and little kids.

The urchin took a while to soften up. “Just call me Piglet. Actually, I want to know what you do. Maybe I can help you, more so than you think.”

“What do you think it is that I do?”

Peng…

“Undercover. The Council Alliance’s undercover. I dare to bet that no one cares about you here on the lower levels, but if you dare to show your face, especially at the compet.i.tion grounds, you’ll die without a trace.”

Ping…

w.a.n.g Zheng rapped Piglet’s skull. “You little sc.u.m, how dare you curse your savior!”

Piglet rubbed his head indignantly. “Don’t knock my head, I’ll become stupid!”

“Then I’ll beat your a.s.s!”

“Childis.h.!.+ How could there be such an immature undercover agent who only knows how to bully kids!”

“Who says agents can’t be immature? Who said undercover agents can’t bully kids?” w.a.n.g Zheng laughed. For some reason, teasing this guy was pretty fun.

But he had also realized that his own situation was not too favorable. It was going to be difficult.

Peng…

“Fallen Paradise is in turmoil now. It might break out with trouble at any time. Do you want to succeed? Let’s team up!”

Piglet was suddenly full of confidence.

Ping…

“Little squirt, why are you acting all big-headed for?”

w.a.n.g Zheng had to think of something. People had to find paths suited to themselves. Firstly, he had to get rid of this bracelet. He might have to pick the chestnuts out of the fire. Compared to acting, straight methods were his forte.

A city fight. In such a big area, he would be hard to deal with, no matter who the opponent was. And he did not believe that the Milky Way Alliance was counting on a newbie undercover agent like himself.

Just at this moment, the boy raised his head and said the words, “Easter Sunday.”
