w.a.n.g Tong said with a smile . He refrained from raising the price not only because the Battle Wolf owed the Blizzard a favor, but also because there were not a lot of buyers out there .

Reputation was also one of the main aspects that influenced a warband's power, and therefore, w.a.n.g Tong knew that he should strike a balance between reputation and profit .

"There would be no problem at all . Although I am not in charge of our group, I can guarantee you enough food and supply that will fill up five s.p.a.ce crystals, in addition to the agreed payment . "

"Excellent! Thank you, Lieutenant Hans!"

"You are welcome! We will be working together many times in the future . You really have made a name for yourself, Captain Tong!"

"It's very nice of you to say that . I am just lucky . " w.a.n.g Tong said with a broad smile .

"Roseau, why are you still standing here? Take your men to try on those METAL suits . This time, be more careful!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ross, please accompany Lieutenant Roseau . " w.a.n.g Tong announced in a commanding tone .

Hans had always thought that Ross and w.a.n.g Tong were of the same rank, but every word that w.a.n.g Tong spoke suggested that it was otherwise . He didn't even see Guan Dongyang throughout this bargaining, and it occurred to him that w.a.n.g Tong had taken charge of all businesses in the camp .

"You look very young . Who is your s.h.i.+fu? Are you a new generation martian?" Hans asked .

Neither w.a.n.g Tong's demeanor nor his appearance looked like a native Martian's . So, Han guessed that he settled on Mars because of the war, a part of the so-called "New Generation . "

"Yes, I am . Unfortunately, my s.h.i.+fu had lost his memory . So, I don't know who he exactly is . "

"What a pity! Your s.h.i.+fu must be quite a character, just like you . Captain Tong, since we are friends, please allow me to be frank with you… Don't you think Battle Wolf is a little bit too small for your talent? Why don't you join a larger war band such as the Blizzard? You have my word… If you come to us, you can have any position you would like!" Hans remarked confidently . He had finished the first half of his mission, and now, he moved onto the second half .

"Hey, Hans! Are you trying to steal our beloved captain? Did Aamir send you here?" A sa.s.sy voice rose at the door; it was Lie Xuan .

Hans let out an ugly grin after he heard Lie Xuan's voice; he knew that he had already failed in his second mission . "Haha… What are you talking about, Princess Lie Xuan? We all love talents, don't we?"

"Hehe… Then look elsewhere . " Lie Xuan shot back .

Finding no other excuses for his actions, Hans changed the topic, "Ah-Ha… Miss Lie Xuan, you look so pretty today! I believe everything is going well with Captain Guan, eh?"

"Pff . . . None of your business . Now, are you going to pay us or are you waiting for me to raise the price?"

"Yes, yes, right away . I have already confirmed the deal with our captain . I'm just going to ask Brother Guan a few questions about Mastery while I wait . "

"Fine, you better be quick . w.a.n.g Tong, Ye Zi is looking for you . "

"Hehe… Mr . Hans, please excuse me for a second . "

"No worries! Please think about what I have said . " Hans didn't mind Lie Xuan's interference in his mission . In fact, he suspected that Lie Xuan was on the same mission herself .

Before w.a.n.g Tong walked out of the meeting room, He gave Lie Xuan a thumbs up for saving him from the awkward conversation .

After Blizzard confirmed the quality of the heavy METAL, they paid the full amount that w.a.n.g Tong had asked for . Although it was a small fortune for them, Hans felt that it was well worth it . Plus, it was never a bad idea to help each other out during the time of hards.h.i.+p .

After having received the payment from Blizzard, Battle Wolf finally had the chance to survive normal warfare without using any tricks . Survival was always the number one priority of any warrior after all .

w.a.n.g Tong reckoned that the time had finally come to test Battle Wolf's limits . Without having experienced the brutality of a real war, no one would have the right to call themselves a warrior .

…

Lunar City was no longer humanity's paradise that it used to be; instead, it had become the headquarters of the Immortals . There were not so many resistance forces left on the moon . At best, they could be called underground operations . The entire moon had become the base for Patroclus, and even the Iron Curtain, House Zhang, had moved to the Earth .

One would think that the streets of the Lunar City would be empty and lifeless; however, it was far from the truth . The streets were still filled with clamor and commotion, but those who moved about in the bustling streets were not humans; they were Immortals . At the center of the Lunar City was a magnificent place called the Divine Place; it was Patroclus' residence .

Inside the palace, Patroclus held a cup of red wine with the color of blood .

"My Lord, she has arrived . " Einherjar Lee Moshan spoke to his master in a servile tone .

Sitting on his throne that was set high up on a platform, Patroclus didn't have to try hard to look imposing and stunningly lordly .

"Noted . " Patroclus waved to dismiss him .

Lee Moshan was one of the greatest warlords serving under Patroclus . Among the four great warlords under the latter, there were also some dark ones .

Forced by the pressure to keep his family safe, Lee Moshan had switched his alliance with the feeling of guilt and resignation . However, after he had received the immortal gift from Patroclus, he no longer felt sorry for himself . There was nothing that felt better than being alive .

As Lee Moshan left the room, he saw a woman walk into the hall; he lowered his head and stepped aside to let her pa.s.s . Although Lee Moshan was one of the four warlords, he had to bow to the women that even Patroclus had to respect .

Seeing the approaching girl, Patroclus smiled and then said, "it's rare to see you here . "

"What's up?" The girl's voice was neither cold nor warm; it was indifferent .

"He is out in the world again . "

The girl's body quivered, and then she gathered herself . "How is that possible?"

Patroclus pushed himself off the throne . He walked to a large gla.s.s panel and looked out at the bustling street scene . Not only did the five years of war not destroy the moon, but it had actually made it the place to live for the Immortals . This had been his dream: a stronger race, and a more efficient city .

Patroclus never wanted to conquer people using fear; instead, he wanted to win the population over with respect .

Right then, looking out of the window, he thought that he had done it .

To him, there was nothing he couldn't achieve, and success was only a matter of time . House Dower knew that the essence of patience was to pretend that one was not waiting . As the heir of House Dower, Patroclus had done an even better job at waiting than his glorious ancestor, thanks to the new perspective that the Zergs had given him . He was no longer a human, he was a G.o.d, and therefore, time was irrelevant .

Although perfection could be an imperfection in itself, it was only true for people who thought they were perfect . This was not the case for Patroclus; he was already beyond being perfect and imperfect due to his G.o.dhood .

However, Patroclus conceded that even a G.o.d could not change the mind of the girl in front of him . It had been five years, but Patroclus still failed to persuade the girl to join his ranks, much less make her forget her loved one who left her five years ago .

Nevertheless, Patroclus had kept her well and alive; every setback he faced while trying to persuade the girl was refres.h.i.+ng to him . Never had he hurried his persuasion by using unnecessary violence; he had time, and he was good at waiting .

"I hope this news brings you joy . I have always thought that he was dead over the past five years . But now, I can feel him . He is on Mars . " Patroclus remarked .

A hint of joy flashed across the girl's face . Although Patroclus was her enemy, she knew that he would never lie to her… He didn't need to .

"Let's play a game . I will catch him for you, and you can decide his fate . "

"You think you can catch him?" The girl said with a cold sneer .

"Hahahahah!" Patroclus burst out laughing uncontrollably .

"I like your att.i.tude! I am already on it; you can just sit and wait for my good news . " Patroclus said with an eerily placid face that made one think of a mask .
