Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 369 Crystal Balley.
Shi Lang stood at the spaceport with his team looking at the exterior of the new ship that was allotted to them. Shashi was also present there and said, "If only the federation had the right to manufacture this sort of ship."
The young man looked at him and said, "Leave that for later, go, courier the things I gave you, and do not mess up the address."
Shashi nodded and said, "Goodbye. Godspeed."
Shi Lang nodded and then sighed as he looked at his communicator to check the time. He has been informed by Harley that a new person was being assigned to his team, however, this person had no combat experience but was a great tactician.
Shi Lang did not object at all as Cara Balley was the one behind it. He did not know what can make the higher-ups do this for Cara, but then again, he could tell that a simple transfer was not a big deal for them either. He was checking his communicator because the person was late, and finally, after ten minutes, he walked to the hatch with big strides and used his communicator to contact Cara Balley as he said, "Senior, your person is late, I have a mission to attend, I apologize, but the trade is now null."
Cara Balley was surprised and then asked, "Are you sure?"
Shi Lang replied, "Senior, timing is a crucial thing for a cultivator to understand. You should know what a second's delay in the battle can do."
Cara Balley sighed and said, "Give me a minute, only."
The connection was disrupted and Shi Lang did not even have the time to speak up. He sighed, since Cara had asked him in person then he decided to wait for a minute. It was not going to make a big difference to the mission.
There were only a few seconds in the minute to expire when Shi Lang grasped the hilt of his sword and looked at the void in front of him coldly. Soon after, the void split and formed a space tunnel. The tunnel was entirely black and Shi Lang was shocked, he mumbled, "Ascended Mortal."
This was the peak realm, allowing people to see through the bonds of the mortal world. Just when he was wondering who could be there, he spotted Cara Balley walking out with another figure in her arms.
The middle-aged lady did not care about her image and directly let the figure fall on the ground like she was some dirty trash bag. The figure cried and stood up as she said, "Nana, you are so rude. Why must I go on a genocidal trip? Can you not let me have peace?"
Cara ignored her and looked at Shi Lang before she nodded, "Valiant and calm, very good Junior."
Shi Lang bowed and said, "You praise too much Senior."
He was sincere in his gesture more than just a formality this time. Cara smiled and said, "Seems like this incident has allowed you to find a few things. Well, keep them to yourself if possible."
Shi Lang nodded and the lady continued after a pause, "This child is Crystal, my granddaughter, I would like you to train her."
Shi Lang cast a careful gaze at Crystal and found that the girl was no older than a young adult, but the power radiating from her was too good. She was already at the peak of the core condensation realm, higher than anyone in the Ace Division.
While he was watching this beautiful lady, the same was true for the others party. Crystal had a hair full starting white hair, and her eyes were blue. She had a fair complexion and her assets were something that could set civilizations on fire. He sighed and said, "A snow spirit fox."
Cara was surprised and wanted to ask how he knew it when Crystal asked, "How do you know?"
Shi Lang sighed and said, "I am well-read, you are a heavenly fox from the senior's family, but your hair is white as snow and your skin is colder than the rest of the people. Your eyes are blue because your blood is ice blue. Your cultivation is core condensation or should I say, demon core condensation realm."
Crystal was shocked but Cara smiled and she let out a light chuckle as she said, "Finally, someone can render her speechless. Goodman, Shi Lang, go take her custody and leave faster."
Shi Lang nodded and looked at Crystal, who said, "I am not willing to go. What can you do?"
Shi Lang said, "Senior, may I?"
Cara nodded and said, "Be my guest please."
Shi Lang nodded and waved his hand. The spirit energy around the girl's body turned into a bind and then pulled her towards the hatch. The next thing she knew was a cold blade resting on her shoulder. Shi Lang said, "I will not hesitate using my force against you."
Crystal was shocked and then she looked at Shi Lang with teary eyes as she said, "Please forgive me."
Shi Lang was not affected by anything and said, "You should give up on your charm techniques. If I used my methods, your glass brain will break and you will not be able to go to the washroom to pee."
Cara did not say anything, her granddaughter has been the pampered one in the family and this made her grow up into a greenhouse flower. She had the power to kill people but her resolve and thoughts were too green for the cultivation world and with her appearance, it was a ticking time bomb.
The young talents from various clans had been vying for her heart and even the prince of the fox clan was on the list. However, he will not succeed. Shi Lang turned to look at Cara and said, "We will see you later, Senior."
Cara nodded and Shi Lang closed the hatch door. Then he led Crystal to the command bridge. The ace division was present there and they were shocked to see Shi Lang escorting a beautiful girl in the control room that too with a sword on her neck.
Shi Lang saw his team was ogling at the lady and he snorted. He said, "None of you are allowed to make eye contact with her. Men are to stay away from her until I give you a particular order. Do you all understand."
The team woke up from a daze and they replied, "Hoorah."
The men turned their backs to Crystal and Shi Lang said, "Jill, secure this lady in a place and also, men, put up your earplugs, she is capable of taking over your mind by singing or talking."
The people shivered and Shi Lang continued, "This lady is Crystal Balley, she will be on our team from now on."
Suddenly a man walked over to stand in front of Shi Lang and asked, "Sir, if she is in our team then why do you not lower your weapon."
This man was not a Terran but a person that Harley has arranged to be on his team. He has fallen for the charming technique. Shi Lang did not hesitate and swung his blade, the back of the blade hit the man on the neck and knocked him out. Sparrow acted and took the men to the med bay, and Jill took Crystal to a seat on the side.
Shi Lang called Harley and asked, "Commander the man you arranged to teach me fell for the charm of a team member, he hindered me and I knocked him out."
Harley was surprised and then looking at the rooster of the team, she said, "I see, you have been arranged with Crystal. Well, I will ask that man to be careful around her."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not wish for him to come along, you do not have to worry, I will be in constant touch with you. Okay?"
Harley was aware of his temperament and she knew that since that guy has become a vulnerability, Shi Lang will get rid of him, and that was what he did.
She did not blame him as if she was to face a similar condition, she would have said the same thing. She said, "Fine, leave him behind. You must post reports on an hourly base from the moment you reach the coordinates of the targeted planet."
Shi Lang nodded and the call was disconnected. He then called Amelia and told her about his mission and the lady supported him to go. After all, this mission served a dual purpose for them and he did not wish to be missing out on this opportunity. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
The ship gradually took off from the base, and after all the permits were confirmed the Strike Force team one hundred one had left the blue star after they had come further from the planet, Sonic said, "Boss, initiating hyper wrap. Hold tight."
Shi Lang nodded and Sonic initiated the hyper wrap. The ship vanished from its spot in space heading towards a new endeavor.
