930 Countering Lear

The fact that Ai Xiaolu had decided to look for a solution let Wang Zheng sigh in relief. He knew that this matter would not be resolved in a day. Even if a solution was found, it would probably be a complicated and wide operation. And this was not something that he, or even Ye Zisu, could participate in. They could only wait for the Ai Financial Group to find the answer. The most important thing was not money, but his own personal worth.

Alright, big financial groups had a unique way of thinking.

Besides, Ai Xiaolu had pointed out something else – that Lear had come over soliciting in Wang Zheng's absence. She felt that the Solar System only needed one leader. As an outsider, everyone saw the Solar System as full of internal strife. The key was that the Solar System loved to fight too much. Only when an absolute leader emerged in the Solar System would they become the strongest. This meant that the Solar System was like Arbiter. What they needed was consolidated authority, not democracy.

Ai Xiaolu did not spend too many words on that topic, but simply pointed out the current situation of Saruman Snake. Lear was conducting a resistance against Wang Zheng. When Wang Zheng was in front fighting and earning glory, Lear would use it as well. In Ai Xiaolu's words, Lear's character was destined for greatness. But as an opponent, he was a dangerous fellow. A barking dog never bit. A two-faced Lear was the most dangerous one. And this guy belonged to the Black Tortoise Region, and was difficult to read. Lear had crossed paths with Ai Xiaolu as well, but quickly gave up. They were all-knowing people. The moment they met, Lear knew that his tricks would not work, and might even expose himself.

What Ai Xiaolu meant was that Wang Zheng should teach Lear a lesson. And it'd be best if it was a mental one.

How to teach Lear a lesson was a difficult question. Clearly, Wang Zheng could not seek out Lear and say, "Let's go one on one." Lear had a thousand reasons to say no, and could even think of a way to sully Wang Zheng's reputation with it, such as bullying his own countrymen, that he was obsessed, etc. Lear was even more difficult to deal with than the rowdy type.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

But Wang Zheng was no goody two shoes either. Dirty tricks had to be paid in kind!

Snow Li had not left the Battle Team. This was something that Wang Zheng did not want to bring up. Training had been normal since Wang Zheng's return, and Achilles did not seem to have changed. There was no need for Wang Zheng to say anything. Zhang Shan's improvement was apparent, and this spurred the rest to greater efforts. Oli was participating in the formation now. As for Oli and Olivios… This was an Arbiter line of thought that outsiders would not understand. As for the way Arbiters saw love, that was ridiculous.

The runic mech's performance was excellent, but he had not had the time to ask Butcher since his return. The base incident investigation was still ongoing. Although, this did not concern Wang Zheng anymore. Butcher wanted Wang Zheng to focus on his training and studies. And Wang Zheng's profile gained another record. Although this was not as spectacular a performance as with Hail Cloud Alliance, his overall performance was recognized by the school.

Wang Zheng mandated a break on the weekend, hoping that everyone would take the time to relax. Bearing the burden of their undefeated record in the first round, Saruman Snake Battle Team's mood was a little heavy. Rigorous training was a good thing, but overdoing it was not. Especially Vincent – in order to master the true dual wielding of Golden Wheel Battle King, he had tried too hard. In the last 2 days of training, he occasionally rubbed his wrist. If this continued, he might very well sustain injuries from too much training.

Vincent's face tightened. Rest? Besides training, what else was there for him?

But Wang Zheng's decision was sound. He would calm himself, and review his training footage in this period. Perhaps some reflection would be more effective than just grinding blindly. After seeing the results of Zhang Shan's special training, Vincent's conviction in Wang Zheng's judgement had grown further.

Since it was a break, everyone was relaxed. Takumi was the happiest. Finally, there was time to date. In terms of managing himself, Takumi did it very well, and was stable. Of course, as a member of Big Bear Star, he was not facing that much pressure.

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Shan was browsing his notifications on the Skylink, and grabbed a hold of Wang Zheng. "Wang Zheng, let's go play tomorrow. I got to know a babe from Outer Roland. We're having a get-together tomorrow. I'm supposed to bring a few Elite Academy students, the more the merrier."

Zhang Shan said. Actually, he felt that Wang Zheng was the one who needed to let loose the most in the Battle Team. Wang Zheng could not be left to hang himself over the Aina tree. One must enjoy life's pleasures to the limits. Rabbits did not just graze on the grass beside their nests. But perhaps the grass over at Outer Roland could be sampled. Wang Zheng should be more open minded.

Get-together? Wang Zheng smiled. "Cool. A good chance for me to clear my head. What kind of people are they? Are they fun?"

"Remember the last time I asked you for an emergency authorization? There's a scientific interest group in Outer Roland that is holding a get-together. The event seems interesting enough, and we can go there and relax. And the girls are big fans of Elite Academy, we can hold our heads high there."

Zhang Shan was rather friendly with some of the group, especially Zhuxi, who was very passionate. But Zhang Shan preferred to talk to the reserved, prim and proper Er Yu. She had been the one to pull him in at the beginning. Zhang Shan was not as busy as Wang Zheng. He had not met anyone suitable till date either, and since he had no fixed plans, then he would enjoy love where he found it. But as a brother, he felt that Wang Zheng was too wound up. Men needed to relax a little. At least, they should meet some new friends and do something new once in a while to forget their worries.

Zhuxi had suggested on occasion for Zhang Shan to bring a few more Elite Academy X students to join their activities. In Roland Garros, many students were keenly interested in Elite Academy. Even now that Inner Roland was in the spotlight, it was still rather enigmatic, and outsiders were prohibited from access.

The next day, Zhang Shan looked at Luo Er, and Luo Er looked at Zhang Shan.

"Luo Er, do you really want to come?"

"Mm. Practice is an important part of learning social relations. Don't worry, I won't interfere in your flirtings." Luo Er blinked her wide eyes.

Zhang Shan had called Luo Er, but had not thought that she would really come. Wang Zheng had called Ai Xiaolu. Being with Ai Xiaolu was not that burdensome, and Ai Xiaolu had also wanted to let loose a little.

Ai Xiaolu had driven up, and Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were both relegated to the backseat. Luo Er and Ai Xiaolu chatted and laughed. Clearly, the two were not very close with each other, but familiar about the other. All that could be said was that the universe was a big place to Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan, and a small world to these girls.

Their class was about the same, and there was not much of a political stand. Both girls easily hit it off. To Ai Xiaolu, if it was not for the Aslan princess system, it would be better. And Luo Er agreed on this point!

Girls were like that. Once they established common ground, it was easy to become best friends. To Luo Er, she was happy that Wang Zheng had not brought Lie Xin. Lie Xin's personality would clash with Luo Er's.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were in the backseat, listening to the girls talk. They could not even get a word in, and were relegated to playing on their Skylinks.

Coming out, even just to breathe the air, felt good. The gathering place was not bad. It was in the suburbs. A bendy river, and a fine river bank. On the side, all kinds of sport facilities, tennis, basketball, baseball, all were professional level grounds. Although Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan could see that everything was man-made, who cared!

The weather was great, and the sound of students fighting over the ball drifted towards them, as though their mood had become one with the fair weather.

"Zhang Shan!"

Zhuxi dragged Er Yu over enthusiastically. She was happy to see that Zhang Shan had brought others too.

But a beauty, and a Gemini Star petite loli… what was going on?

"Keke, let me introduce you. This is our Saruman Snake Battle Team's captain, Wang Zheng. I guess I don't need to say more. This is senior Ai Xiaolu, and Luo Er."

Zhang Shan smilingly made the introductions. "This is Er Yu, who aspires to be the next teacher Xiao Fei. This is Zhuxi, who just wants to live a happy life, right?"

"My dream is to find a handsome boyfriend!"

"Really? That's only too easy!" Zhang Shan teased. Perhaps they had become too familiar over Skylink chat.

Everyone laughed and chatted for a while, warming up to each other quickly. At this time, others had come over to greet them as well. Seeing Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er, they showed startled expressions, and were very warm.
