Chapter 687: All Men are Born Equal

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Even 10 years ago, the Aslan Empire was still as strong. A poor kid from Earth dating the Princess of Aslan seemed as though it was from a script.

“I wished that she was just an ordinary person.” said Wang Zheng. It might be due to the alcohol that Wang Zheng was also feeling a little emotional.

“You should not take this for granted. This girl isn’t bad at all. If you can get out, be nicer to her.” said Old Zhuo. “If she doesn’t want you anymore, I would recommend my daughter to you.”

Wang Zheng was feeling bottled up. If his daughter was really as great, she would definitely have a boyfriend. Moreover, who knew if he really had a daughter?

“I’m not the kind who is clingy and will pester her. I have no other way forward after coming to this stage.” said Wang Zheng.

Old Zhuo shook his head and said, “Brat, your EQ seems to be lacking. Since you knew she was the princess of Aslan, you should have known that such a day would come!”

Wang Zheng smiled and replied,” I could endure all of this. However, there are still some baselines that shouldn’t be crossed.”

“I’m not talking about those things which are getting in your way. Im trying to say that you should work hard and let those who have looked down on you previously kneel down in front of you. What was that saying... All men were born equal. Everyone’s lot in life is determined by their own actions. One should always strive to change their destiny!”

“All men are born equal!” Wang Zheng was also drunk. If he didn’t know what to say, he wouldn’t say it casually... it would only lower his status...

“After all, that was the meaning of that saying. In fact, it is just the beginning for the both of you since you have reached this stage. Aina has already made the first move but it seems that you haven’t realised it yet.” Li Yizhuo was already putting on the attitude of a master.

“I’m wish to hear about the details.” Wang Zheng was indeed lost in the situation. Could there be other possibilities?

“Come kid, pour some alcohol for the master. Actually, my daughter isn’t bad at all...”

“Old Zhuo!”

“Eh, youngster. Don’t be in a hurry. Moreover, my daughter... Alright, let’s talk about the serious things. Why did you think that the Aslan Royal Family would create a chance for the both of you, despite knowing that you are in the Elite Academy?”

Old Zhuo’s question had stunned Wang Zheng. Initially, they had tried all means to separate them and even were willing to send Aina to Atlantis.

“Think clearly about it.” Li Yizhuo drank a mouthful of alcohol slowly. He would not have to keep anything behind if things worked out.

Was it because that I had agreed to it and therefore the Aslan Royal Family no longer cared about it?

Wang Zheng immediately rejected this thought. He wasn’t that naïve and the Aslan Royal Family would not be too.

That... Suddenly, Wang Zheng’s heart skipped a beat. He already knew what the Aslan Royal Family wanted to do. action

“Do you understand it now?” Old Zhuo lit up a small section of his cigar carefully and took a puff with a satisfied expression on his face.

“Could it be that the Aslan Royal Family wanted to test if we had really broken up?”

“Stupid!” Li Yizhuo did not know whether to laugh or cry. “You all are still too young. The intention of the Aslan Royal Family this time had nothing to do with you but this was a trial for Aina. The Aslan Empire has a rather unique position in the Milky Way Galaxy. A monarchical structure is behind the times but yet the Aslan Empire is still so strong. The reason behind their strength is because their King and Queen have to be ruthless and see the country as their everything. The Royal Family and the Cabinet are all watching. Aina has to deal with you correctly to have the qualification to succeed the throne.”

Wang Zheng was stunned for a while and nodded his head.

“Were you thinking that this girl was clamouring for glory and wealth?” asked Li Yizhuo.

Wang Zheng shook his head and replied,” Aina is not that kind of person. Moreover, chasing after a better life is the choice of every single person. I didn’t feel that she was wrong.”

In fact if that was really the case, things wouldn’t be so troublesome.

Old Zhuo spit out a smoke ring and said,” Therefore I said that the two of you were rather interesting. To the Royal Family, no matter what Aina chooses to do, the implications wouldn’t be big. This is because if she did not pass the trial, the Aslan Royal Family would then think of a way to get rid of you, the weakest point, and let her understand that as the successor, she would have to make sacrifices. If Aina passes the trial, the Aslan Royal Family would be more assured that the princess had become mature. We have to understand that what they were most afraid of was a ruler that would be affected by her own emotional judgment.”

Wang Zheng nodded his head. He could feel it subconsciously. It was just that it wasn’t as clear as what Old Zhuo had said. This was because this was a deadlock. His strength was not enough to change the rules of the game.

“The people of the Aslan Empire are really scheming. Did you know why had they let Lin Huiyin back into the family?” Old Zhuo continued.

Wang Zheng was clueless about this. Could it be related to this matter?

Old Zhuo was feeling a bit proud. “This move is the finishing touch. The two scenarios that were mentioned previously could still be controlled. However if there was any unexpected thing such as Aina and you deciding to elope together or worse, if that results in an unsalvageable scenario, Lin Huiyin would be the second option. Once Lin Huiyin had witnessed this tragedy, she would then avoid committing the same mistake!”

Suddenly, Wang Zheng felt that Aina and Huiyin were a little pitiful. The title of the princess might have the huge authority to rule over the lives of many others but they had no control of their own destiny.

“Kid, I was getting a little envious of you to be able to meet such a great girl. Obviously, my daughter isn’t bad too.” laughed Li Yizhuo. “Aina as a member of the Royal Family would definitely have realized this scheme. Therefore she had to act and had to act it as though it was real. Obviously, reality and this lie might turn into one and the same. This is because if the two of you were to really get together, she must have sufficient respect and control or you have to become sufficiently strong.”

Li Yizhuo’s words seemed had ignited Wang Zheng. His eyes were gleaming with green light. Did he have to say such things? Why was he so stupid to not understand it?

“Kid, don’t get too excited yet. What I just said was just a possibility and that was the more optimistic scenario. However I felt that humans have to live for themselves. As a man, no matter what the results would be, you have to slap those who looked down on you with facts. If you have the chance, you could even stomp on them instead. Everyone is born equal and we have to strive to change our destiny! This is what we call ambition!”

In the end, Wang Zheng managed to hold back and did not spill anything. Striving to change his destiny was Yan Xiaosu’s hobby. Wang Zheng had not expected that it would have become an inspirational slogan.

He shouldn’t be worried about personal gains and losses. Being himself was the right way to go. This would not change anything about Aina and him but had allowed Wang Zheng to be more at ease. The two of them were still young and if the results were failure, that would also be their fate.

As for the Aslan Royal Family, he would prefer to let these hilariously stupid people do whatever the y want.

“The truth is that, my daughter isn’t bad at all. Let me tell you...”

“Cough cough. Old Zhuo, you must be tired after all the work today. Rest well while I go look for materials. We will be modifying my mech from tomorrow onwards.” Wang Zheng could feel a headache whenever he heard the word ‘daughter’ now.

“Eh, the youngsters nowadays are really lacking patience. In the past...”

Old Zhuo was still mumbling to himself. Student Wang had already escaped. There’s no wonder why people said having an old person at home was equivalent to having a treasure at home. Their way of looking at things was truly sharper than the youngsters.

Instead of whining about the unfair things and being overcautious, he would rather do what he had to do. Wang Zheng was at least confident in himself. That was right! There were some things that he couldn’t change. For example, he might just be a “bandit” from Earth. However, so what if that was the case. Who knew if a “bandit” from Earth could become the master of the Milky Way Alliance. In these times, those who were brave were well-fed while those timid people would starve to death. There’s only one word to describe it and that was to — act!

The same growl could be heard from Yan Xiaosu in the faraway Tita Star.

That’s right! If he died in the process, so be it. There was only one word and that was to — act!

Little Lucky Star had the opportunity now to become a first grade organisation in a single step. However, this opportunity was filled with unforeseeable risks. Jasper and others were fighting to be part of it now but had been fudged by the imposing manner that Yan Xiaosu had created. However if there weren’t enough projects, a fall out in the commerce industry wasn’t uncommon. At that time, Little Lucky Star would have faced a major blow.

However, would that mean that he shouldn’t do it if there were risks?

This type of opportunity might be once in a lifetime. Yan Xiaosu decided to charge ahead and took the gamble!

On the TitaTitan Star.

The visiting group with Ye Bingwen as the leader and KING Company as the main body had arrived. They received a warm welcome from various parties.

One could disregard the commerce industry. The success of the KING Company was a grand affair for humankind in the Milky Way Galaxy. This was a big step for humankind to step deeper into the universe. If they could collaborate with the KING Company now, they would have a headstart in the future.

In the political scene, Governor Mu Sen and Lan Ling had come together. This was the highest level of ceremonies used for welcoming on TitaTitan Star. In the previous month, the Vice President of the Astina Federation had the same type of treatment when had dropped by TitaTitan Star.

This released a strong signal that KING Company and the OMG Company from Earth had possessed strong trust by various parties on TitaTitan Star.

The thing about trust on TitaTitan Star wasn’t about the credit one had with his/her banks or about the amount of capital one could obtain. A relationship that went beyond the importance of one’s life was more convincing than any glamorous and flowery language.

Yan Xiaosu brought a group of rich man to the starport. Jasper and his group of men were also excited. The position they were standing at now had deep meaning to it. They were close to the front rows and these were reserved specially for them.

At their current level, the placing of the seats, position of the rows and the number on the seats had special meaning to them and released hidden messages behind it. Those who didn’t understand would just be there for fun. Those who could understand would know about the meaning behind it. Their current position would indicate that they had gained the preliminary trust of the TitaTitan Star.

Brother Yan was awesome!

Other than those that had the strong support of their countries, their group of people could be considered as the first batch of businessmen that had received the trust from the TitaTitan Star. What were they depending on? The strong relationship Brother Yan had with the officials!

There was only one word to describe it. Power!

Everyone was wearing a gentle smile. Truthfully speaking, they had things to say about accompanying Brother Yan around previously and felt that they had borne huge risk. However at this moment, all the burdens they felt were left behind. Considering the investment they had made and the position they had achieved now, one could say that had already made great returns!

Everyone could see the type of gazes people from the other circle were giving them.

Haha, they were full of jealousy and hatred and seemed as though they might die of jealousy. Jasper gave the leaders of the 2 other cliques a faint smile. The feeling of walking at the front was great.

The competition between these few cliques had always been very intense. It would seem that after coming to the TitaTitan Star, the results of the competition had been finalised.

Yan Xiaosu wasn’t one who liked to drag his feet. After considering the worst outcome, he became calmer instead.

The ship that OMG was taking had arrived. They passed through the examination which was actually just a formality. From faraway, one could see Ye Zisu and her group walking out in a line. All of them were part of the OMG’s team. The whole star port was locked down. The traveling of other tourists were all stalled as the OMG ‘s team received treatment no different from a president of a federation.

“Baja! Welcome!”

Mu Sen walked up with a group of people to welcome them and gave the salute that was reserved for the most distinguished guests of the TitaTitan people. This was a way of saying thanks to Ye Zesu for providing help to them when the people of Tita were facing their toughest challenge.
