Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 509 - Grasping Tita

“Miss Zisu, it is clear that w.a.n.g Zheng places his trust in you. This is a token of appreciation from the people of t.i.ta, in the hopes that he does not forget us.”

“Elder Mu Sen, this is too…” Ye Zisu could not believe it. In the allocation of minerals, the majority share was received by the People of t.i.ta’ – after all it was their mother planet. The Lan family received 8 percent, and 30 percent went to the t.i.ta Star’s construction and expansion. Ye Zisu, representing Ye Bingwen and OMG, would receive 1 percent. Aslan Empire would receive 1 percent. This was how the People of t.i.ta expressed their grat.i.tude. The arrangement would last 10 years.

While this was generous, the important thing was that OMG and Aslan Empire would both have a privileged status in development. This meant unimaginable wealth and influence; the short-term profits paled in comparison.

But what troubled Ye Zisu was that the remaining 60 percent was definitely the People of t.i.ta’ share. The issue was that now Mu Sen was giving 30 percent to w.a.n.g Zheng, permanently. Within a day, it could be his, and for all his future generations.

This had indeed shocked Ye Zisu out of her wits. Given Mu Sen’s intellect, he must be clear of the immensity of such benefits. Most crucially, this would create far reaching impacts on future production. Would Mu Sen really trust the future of the t.i.ta Star to one person?

“Little girl, I know what you are thinking. That you think this way tells me that you are of the same character as w.a.n.g Zheng – not the greedy type. We People of t.i.ta are not stupid either. On the mere basis that w.a.n.g Zheng is the Ada of the t.i.tan, we the People of t.i.ta would not have given so much either. ”

Ye Zisu was really stunned. That was valid, but what could be the real reason for them to choose this course of action?

“That is a secret. One day you will understand. For now, I would like to request for you to keep this confidential and manage it well. I believe that this will all have a purpose someday. In the instant we entered the t.i.tan temple, the destinies of People of t.i.ta have been tied with w.a.n.g Zheng’s.” Mu Sen said seriously, his tone both solemn and severe.

“Elder Mu Sen, if you feel I am worthy of this trust, then I am willing to take up this responsibility.”

“Trust us people of t.i.ta’s judgment of character. We are more perceptive at evaluating humans than even humans yourselves.”

Mu Sen said as he shook Ye Zisu’s hand. Although this arrangement was confidential, but it implied that Ye Zisu would hold considerable authority on t.i.ta Star, especially with the support of Mu Sen and the People of t.i.ta.

Until the talks ended, Ye Zisu had been in a daze. She could not understand, could not see clearly. w.a.n.g Zheng was still w.a.n.g Zheng. From the moment he rejected them, she had known that he had not changed, but everything else in the world seemed to be moving too fast for her.

It looked like the People of t.i.ta still needed w.a.n.g Zheng, and everybody wanted to maintain the connection with w.a.n.g Zheng regardless.

But the cause?

The reason?

Ye Zisu was sharp, but she could think of no reason. Mu Sen was not as impetuous as Rara Durai – he had always been calm in the face of crises. But for such a person to make such a bold decision…

But, since it was for w.a.n.g Zheng’s benefit, Ye Zisu would always protect it!

Yan Xiaosu would definitely be happy. He would finally be able to quit selling sanitary towels, which the People of t.i.ta probably did not need anyway…

That was probably a good idea…

Inexplicably, thinking of w.a.n.g Zheng and Yan Xiaosu lifted Ye Zisu’s spirits extraordinarily. After the troubles had pa.s.sed, the sky seemed particularly beautiful.

Without even noticing, w.a.n.g Zheng’s path had moved beyond her understanding. In truth, she had initially felt that w.a.n.g Zheng giving up on a windfall like the role of Governor was a pity. But retrospectively, w.a.n.g Zheng had not only lost nothing, but he had also gained a dependable ally. At the same time, he would not be attract too much envy at his position which would expose him to the wider world. Because once he became Governor, fatalities were a possibility. A dead Governor could do nothing. As long as it was mankind, the position of First Governor was not an easy post to sit on. But the People of t.i.ta were an entirely different matter.

There was no doubt that Mu Sen’s tone and this additional guarantee both pointed towards this one matter. In the future, t.i.ta Star and w.a.n.g Zheng would be in the same boat.

Ye Zisu felt sincerely proud. The Aslan Empire might look down on w.a.n.g Zheng, but someday w.a.n.g Zheng would have them on their knees before him in regret!

And as for w.a.n.g Zheng?

It was as though nothing had happened. He was cheerful from morning till night. Once they knew that w.a.n.g Zheng was leaving, Jing Long and the rest had not let him off easy, keeping him drinking till he dropped.

They had learnt of w.a.n.g Zheng turning down the post of Governor from Red Fox, and felt both admiration and a pity. But thanks of w.a.n.g Zheng’s arrival, Jing Long and the rest would eventually take up posts in t.i.ta’s government. Barry had gone one step further, and would possibly head research in the future. They really raised eyebrows this time round.

They had drank too much that day. Barry cried noisily. He, who had been forced to leave Astina because of that incident, had always borne a heavy burden on his heart. But lately, his alma mater had reached out to him, for him to give a lecture when he was free.

A lecture?

This was clearly nonsense. They wanted to improve their relations.h.i.+p.

He had actually become somebody who took the stage, and returned in glory!

w.a.n.g Zheng had changed too many lives, and yet he himself seemed to have nothing. He stepped back alone on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to Earth.

Ye Zisu was not on the same flight. She would be delayed by a few days, hammering down some crucial details that were best attended to now. Once the various agents began to enter, things would be a lot more complicated.

w.a.n.g Zheng had to leave. The military was pressuring him.

Yet w.a.n.g Zheng felt not the slightest shred of desolation as he left t.i.ta alone, his eyes gleaming.

Ye Zisu would keep secrets from anybody but w.a.n.g Zheng. She had thought he would react differently, but he simply said that he would leave it all up to her.

In the t.i.tan temple, w.a.n.g Zheng had seen some things that were better off unseen. Although they had no idea how Mu Sen came to know of it, but now they were all in the same boat. Only, Mu Sen seemed to have taken a liking to him. In truth, he had no such extraordinary ability.

The boundless galaxy was always so beautiful.

Behind him, t.i.ta grew smaller and smaller, but w.a.n.g Zheng believed that it would continue to grow more and more beautiful. And he would return to fight and drink with them. At that time, Rara Durai would be even stronger.

But thinking of Red Fox’s private farewell, w.a.n.g Zheng was not sure whether to laugh or cry. 36D had indeed been ferocious, and his guard had almost slipped. If it had not been for a timely message from Lin Huiyin, he might have lost it in a moment of pa.s.sion. Even now, he looked back at it with a tinge of regret.

Huiyin had left 2 days earlier than him. Royalty could not be away for too long. Aslan Empire’s first announcement declared a period of constructive cooperation with t.i.tat.i.tan Star. They would send amba.s.sadors, and adopted an enthusiastic att.i.tude towards further cooperation with t.i.ta.

But enough of them. Other countries were also lining up out the door, but it was too bad for them. t.i.ta’s development did not need so many parties. Lin Huiyin’s “childish” decision was now met with nothing but praise back in the palace.
