CapĂtulo 1436: Chapter 493: Beginning_3
Coronan didnât decline, readily agreeing.
âAlright, thank you, Lord Coronan.â
âNo need for such formalities.â
âOkay, weâll leave you to your work then.â
Su Ming then left with An Ruoxue.
âŠ
In the evening.
In a spacious small dining room, Coronan had prepared a sumptuous table, but only Su Ming and his friends were dining.
Coronan poured a cup of tea for Su Ming and said.
âYouâre still recovering, so I wonât be pouring you wine.â
âAlright.â
Su Ming replied courteously.
âGeneral Su Ming, to be honest, there are very few people Iâve truly admired in my life. But I genuinely admire you. The Saint Mandy Planet operation was really thanks to you. Cheers to you!â
Coronana raised his glass and said.
âAlright.â
Su Ming picked up his glass and clinked it with Coronanâs.
Both drank it all in one go.
Coronan immediately poured himself another glass, smiling as he spoke to Su Ming.
âGeneral Su Ming, I heard from Ruoxue that back in the Federation, you took great care of her, and when her identity was exposed, you let her go. Cheers to you again.â
âLord Coronan, youâre really being too formal. An Ruoxue and I have always been great friends.â
Su Ming hurriedly poured a cup of tea, saying.
âDonât say that, the right attitude should always prevail!â
âAlright then!â
âCome, try these dishes and see if they suit your taste.â
Coronan then invited Su Ming to dine.
âHmm.â
Su Ming graciously tried every dish.
At this moment, Coronan kept winking at An Ruoxue, signaling her to persuade Su Ming to stay.
But An Ruoxue smiled and said.
âFather, is there sand in your eyes? Why do you keep blinking?â
Coronan, upon hearing An Ruoxueâs words, was frustrated to death; his daughter really was rebellious.
Su Ming, hearing this, curiously looked up, then smiled without saying anything.
Coronan awkwardly laughed as he spoke.
âNothing, just got a bit of dust in my eye. Letâs continue eating!â
âAlright!â
Su Ming nodded.
âŠ
Over an hour later, dinner was finished. Seeing that he couldnât persuade Su Ming to stay, Coronan sighed and said.
âGeneral Su Ming, the ship is ready. Ruoxue will personally take you back.â
âThank you.â
Su Ming replied gratefully.
âNo need to thank me; itâs what I should do. Also, no matter what your identity is, Su Ming sir, youâre our most trusted friend, and youâre always welcome here.â
Coronan said sincerely to Su Ming.
He genuinely hoped Su Ming would stay; after the last battle, Coronan had realized the reality.
He alone couldnât overthrow the Fanluo God Emperor; only someone like Su Ming had a chance.
âAlright!â
Su Ming nodded.
âRuoxue, handle the remaining matters.â
After instructing An Ruoxue, Coronan reluctantly got up and left.
An Ruoxue then looked at Su Ming and smiled.
âLetâs go.â
âHmm.â
Su Ming nodded.
âŠ
Soon after, Su Ming and An Ruoxue arrived at the dock of Holy Shadow Fortress.
The Level 5 Battleship Shadow Shuttle was ready, and Ilyas had been transferred onto the ship. As for the remaining batch of Silver Executors, Su Ming didnât take them; he left them for An Ruoxue.
An Ruoxue led Su Ming onto the Shadow Shuttle, arriving at the central control room.
âMiss!â
Captain Xia Lu and others respectfully greeted.
âHmm, are we ready?â
An Ruoxue asked.
âYes, weâve fully supplied the ship, everything is flawless. This time weâll depart from the back border of the production area of Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, taking a long detour straight to the Federation Area.â
Xia Lu briefly explained to An Ruoxue.
âAlright, set sail!â
An Ruoxue decisively gave the order.
âOh yeah, finally going home.â
Celeste excitedly said to Su Ming.
Su Ming also breathed a sigh of relief; finally, they were on the return journey.
At this moment, Xia Lu and others began operating the ship, and the entire Level 5 Battleship slowly disengaged from Holy Shadow Fortress.
On the observation deck.
Coronan and Emkain stood side by side, watching the ship slowly depart, with complex expressions on their faces.
Emkain spoke gravely.
âI thought you would try hard to keep him.â
âI tried, but itâs impossible; his will is too strong. To keep trying would be impolite.â
Coronan sighed and said.
âIndeed.â
Emkain replied with deep emotion.
âŠ.
Half a year later.
Kasine Star Sea Region.
A Level 4 Transport Ship was sailing forward.
In the central control room.
A middle-aged man, with stubble on his face, slightly thin, wearing a captainâs attire, sat on the command chair, yawning and said.
âThis journey is really boring; how much longer until we arrive?â
âCaptain Dan Jie, soon!â
The nearby crew member replied with a smile.
âDamn it, if business wasnât so difficult domestically, Iâd never run external routes.â
Dan Jie cursed irritably.
At this moment, a communication request popped up.
The operator glanced at it, shouting in confusion.
âLord Dan Jie, we have a communication request from an unidentified ship.â
âWhat do you mean unidentified ship? Whatâs the communication device of the ship?â
âTheyâre using a TSD communication device.â
âTSD communication device? Thatâs the device from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country; quickly, letâs go!â
Dan Jie suddenly remembered something, shouting in terror.
The operator immediately powered up and headed towards the distant starry sky.
