Chapter 238: Chapter 237 The Presence of a Bystander

Interstellar Federation, Emperor Star, Presidential Palace.

The Martial Saints had all gathered together, listening to the intelligence being relayed from the front.

“The Yao Tian Federation has recently been recruiting soldiers at the border. Do you know why?” the President asked in a low voice.

The Martial Saints shook their heads, indicating they did not know.

The President looked towards Qiu Linghan, who was sitting at the end of the table, took a deep breath and said, “Qiu Linghan, won’t you explain this to everyone?!”

Qiu Linghan rubbed her temple; she could not avoid this. At the same time, she wished she could drag Wang Hao over and beat him as an outlet for her frustration. She had sent Wang Hao to rescue someone, not to blow up Prison Star!

Now that such a huge commotion had been caused, even if Qiu Lei could successfully escape from prison, whether he could get away was still an unknown.

“According to the latest intelligence I’ve received, those youngsters managed to rescue Qiu Lei, but at the same time, they also blew up Prison Star, causing the Yao Tian Federation to enter a Level 1 alert,” Qiu Linghan sighed and honestly reported.

“What! Blew up Prison Star!!”

All the present Martial Saints exclaimed in shock. The Interstellar Federation also had a Prison Star, and they all knew how secure it was. But now someone was telling them that a few youngsters with only Martial Master Cultivation had blown it up. Was this some kind of April Fool’s joke?

To tell the truth, they had not taken it seriously when they heard that Qiu Linghan had sent these youngsters to rescue someone.

After all, how could a few youngsters possibly rescue someone from the heavily secured Prison Star? At most, they would go there, hang around, experience the Yao Tian Federation’s culture and customs, before scurrying back.

They were only slightly worried that if these youngsters were to have their identities exposed and get caught, what would happen then.

But now, Qiu Linghan was saying that not only had these youngsters rescued someone, they had also blown up Prison Star, which left their minds in a daze, clearly unable to understand how such a massive operation could have been carried out!

The President exhaled and said, “The news I’ve received is the same. Somehow, these youngsters managed to paralyze the Military Star that guarded Prison Star, causing all the high-tech equipment to malfunction.”

“All malfunctioned!?”

The Martial Saints were startled again, and since the President had confirmed it, this meant it was no joke.

But could all the high-tech on Military Star really be brought down to a complete malfunction? Was that even possible?

The President continued, “Furthermore, I’ve received information that this time these youngsters not only rescued Qiu Lei but also obtained a Level 5 giant Mecha, as well as a Mecha equipped with brain-sensing remote control.”

“What!!”

The Martial Saints in attendance were completely astonished and also began to suspect whether the Yao Tian Federation had already become thoroughly corrupt. Otherwise, how could a few youngsters rescue someone from such a secure prison and lay their hands on such cutting-edge technology Mechas?

“Based on these youngsters managing to acquire Mechas in any way possible, I am certain that this was orchestrated by Li Yunyang of our Military Department,” a Martial Saint from the Military Department said as he stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

No sooner had he spoken than disdainful glances shot his way from the other Martial Saints.

A Martial Saint from the Adventurers Guild snorted coldly, “Le Xuan is the daughter of Le Yuanguang, and Elder Chen’s apprentice. She was born with the spirit of adventure, so these actions must have been hers.”

“Bullshit!” a Martial Saint from the Presidential Palace spat, “Ling Xiao is a talented individual that our Presidential Palace aims to nurture for the future. He received high-level education from a young age and is well-versed in both letters and martial arts. Such actions must undoubtedly be his doing.”

A Martial Saint from the Skyfire Company couldn’t take it anymore. “Stop spouting nonsense. Xue Qianqin is a shadow spirit body and the personal apprentice of the young lady. This stealth infiltration into Military Star to cause its downfall, followed by a rescue mission on Prison Star, must all be credited to her.”

Su Mu and the other three principals exchanged glances, all discerning the thoughts of one another. It must have all been orchestrated by that kid, Wang Hao.

Though the other children were prodigiously talented, their thinking was conventional, incapable of the wild and imaginative scheming of Wang Hao, who managed to stir up so much trouble.

What the four principals hadn’t expected was the magnitude of the commotion Wang Hao was able to create.

At that moment, the Vice-President of the Potion Guild, Bing Qiao, tugged at Qiu Linghan and whispered, “It isn’t that kid Wang Hao, is it!?”

Qiu Linghan bitterly smiled and nodded, “That’s right, all of these events were stirred up by Wang Hao, and the rest of the kids played just minor roles. The whole thing was a one-man show starring Wang Hao.”

“What!?”

Upon hearing this, the other Martial Saints grew unhappy. What did Qiu Linghan mean by saying their children played just minor roles?

“Cough cough…”

The President coughed, signaling everyone to be quiet with a wave of his hand.

“Qiu Linghan is not wrong,” the President said softly. “The information I received also says that whether it was helping Qiu Lei break out of prison or acquiring the cutting-edge mecha of the Yao Tian Federation, it was all Wang Hao’s doing.”

But the President was pondering in his mind how to coax Wang Hao away from the Potion Guild to the Presidential Mansion.

Back then, he had high hopes for Wang Tianyi, thinking he would become the top guard of the Presidential Mansion. But fate had its own plans, and in the end, Wang Tianyi ended up joining the Military Department as a Marshal.

Now, having encountered a talent even greater than Wang Tianyi, he was determined not to let this opportunity slip away.

However, the profiles indicated, “Seventeen years old, Level 4 Pharmacist King.” Just this alone would mean the Potion Guild would never let go, but he was still not content to give up without trying.

“Impossible, what is this Wang Hao compared to Li Yunyang? How can he be stronger!” a Martial Saint from the Military Department said, full of disbelief.

“Indeed, Le Xuan is the daughter of Le Yuanguang and Yun Chuyao, how can she just be a supporting player to a nobody!?” A Martial Saint from the Adventurers Guild said with disdain, obviously disbelieving as well.

“Mr. President, Ling Xiao belongs to our Presidential Mansion. How can you be favoring outsiders!?” a Presidential Mansion Martial Saint gave the President a disapproving look.

The President shook his head helplessly and sighed lightly, “Gentlemen, Wang Hao is not just some unknown kid; he is the son of Wang Tianyi.”

“The son of Wang Tianyi? The kid who was expelled from the Royal College and then from Emperor Star?”

The Martial Saints present suddenly put the pieces together. They were all aware of the past incidents, though they only knew of them after the fact. While they thought the Military Department and the Royal College had been too harsh…

But by that time, Wang Tianyi had vanished, and who would stand up for a child on such matters?

“How could this Wang Hao not only blow up Prison Star but also get his hands on the cutting-edge mecha of the Yao Tian Federation!?” The Martial Saint from the Military Department’s eyes flashed with a cold light, his fists clenched tight, revealing inner turmoil.

After all, Wang Tianyi’s talent had been acknowledged by everyone. If Wang Hao had inherited Tianyi’s talents, then in a hundred years, a peerless powerhouse would emerge, which would undoubtedly bring trouble to their Military Department.

At the same time, the Martial Saint from the Military Department was also puzzled. Back then, they had seen Wang Hao disliked cultivating, and his Potion Level was not even on par with a Level 1 Potion Apprentice’s, so they agreed to expel him from the Royal College to prevent him from embarrassing it.

But now Wang Hao had not only become the Potion Guild’s top genius Pharmacist but also orchestrated this sensational heist to rescue prisoners. If Wang Hao turned his tactics on the Military Department, they would lose all face…
