Li Ze left without anyone stopping him. This was partly because he was He Xingjue's partner, and partly because the guards had not received any orders.
Thus, Li Ze successfully boarded the flying car.
"Uncle Li, drive faster," Zhou Yang urged.
"Yes, young master," the driver replied, and immediately sped up.
Li Ze himself was not in a hurry and still looked calm and composed. However, he had exhausted himself today, and his complexion, which had finally regained its rosy hue, returned to its usual paleness.
"You'd better leave Vermilion Bird Star for a while. On the surface, the royal family might not make things difficult for you, but it's hard to say what they might do behind the scenes," Zhou Yang said.
Li Ze nodded in agreement. He had originally planned to leave Vermilion Bird Star once he got the mecha.
"Let's leave in a bit," Zhou Yang said again, still feeling a little uneasy.
“Okay.” Li Ze smiled. Even though they had only met a few times, Zhou Yang chose to stand by his side at this moment, which surprised him.
Li Ze felt a warm sensation in his chest, a feeling that was unfamiliar.
The car drove directly into the manor and to the front of the house.
"I'll go in and pack some things," Li Ze said.
"Do you need my help?" Zhou Yang asked.
"No need." Li Ze shook his head. He didn't have much to take with him. Besides the box of energy stone crystals, he only had some nutrient solution and medicine.
As Li Ze went downstairs, he encountered a robot. "I'm leaving for a while. Please take good care of the house."
The robot nodded. "Understood. Please take good care of yourself while you are out there."
"Okay. I will. Goodbye." Li Ze waved and left without looking back.
"Goodbye!" the robot waved.
"I'll take you to Star Harbor." Zhou Yang opened the car door for Li Ze.
"No need, I'll just pilot the mecha away." Li Ze said, releasing his newly acquired mecha.
“Then I’ll help you apply for the promotion channel. I remember my brother has a few opportunities to use the promotion channel each year. You can borrow his.” Zhou Yang was about to contact his older brother.
“No need.” Li Ze smiled. “I have permission to use the jump channel.”
Zhou Yang was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "You have it?"
“I donated 20 billion to them, and they granted me access.”
Zhou Yang: "......"
Two hundred billion! Even his older brother didn't spend that much.
"Alright, I'm leaving." The hatch of the black mecha had already opened, and Li Ze leaped inside.
"Take care!" Zhou Yang shouted.
"Okay!" Li Ze responded loudly. The next second, the hatch closed, and the black mecha soared into the sky, turning into a black dot and disappearing.
Inside the mecha, Li Ze directly chose the mental link.
"Xuan Ying, head to the nearest jump portal," Li Ze said.
"Yes, Master," Xuan Ying replied, his voice a clear, youthful tone.
Li Ze raised an eyebrow and asked again, "Xuan Ying, how long does it take to get to the nearest jump portal?"
"Reporting to Master, five minutes."
Five minutes later, Li Ze's mech stopped in front of the warp portal.
"I want to enter the jump tunnel," Li Ze said to the soldier guarding the jump tunnel.
The soldier noticed Li Ze's surprise and, upon hearing that he wanted to enter the warp portal, hesitated and kindly reminded him, "Entering the warp portal requires authorization."
“I have the authority,” Li Ze replied.
The soldiers were even more surprised; this person actually had authority! Really?
“According to regulations, I need to check your permissions,” the soldier said.
“No problem,” Li Ze said calmly.
Checking permissions is simple; just enter Li Ze's gene sequence number.
Two minutes later, the soldier watched the black mech disappear into the warp portal. With a complicated expression, he contacted his colleague, "Did you know that Li Ze actually has access to the warp portals of the entire empire?"
"Impossible, you must be joking!" the colleague said, disbelieving.
“It is absolutely true. I swear on the honor of the Empire that I am telling the truth.”
"Holy crap, why? Because he's He Xingjue's partner?"
"No, I asked, and he said he donated 20 billion to us."
"...I really like this reason."
The news that Li Ze killed the eldest princess quantum beast and broke her limbs spread throughout the upper echelons of Suzaku Star in less than an hour.
When the news reached He Xingjue's villa, everyone present wore expressions of disbelief.
“Our people sent back a video of the scene. Would you like to take a look?” Ishikawa asked.
"Open it," He Xingjue said coldly.
The entire battle was short. From the moment the eldest princess made her move, to Li Ze's counterattack, to the death of the eldest princess's quantum beast, and finally to the eldest princess having all four limbs severed, the whole process took less than twenty minutes.
After watching the battle video, everyone present fell silent.
After a long pause, Ishikawa spoke first, "The fact that Madam can see the quantum beasts means that Madam is a guide or a sentinel."
"The fact that the lady could defeat the S-rank princess without any chance of fighting back means that her level must be above S-rank, and most likely SS-rank."
"It's a pity that the video didn't capture the Quantum Beast. I'm curious about what kind of Quantum Beast Madam has."
"Just ask the people present."
"......"
"Damn it, they said that the lady didn't release the quantum beast at all! She only dealt with the eldest princess and her leopard with her own strength."
"ox!"
In this interstellar world where strength is revered and martial prowess is valued, the formidable Li Ze quickly won over the hearts of the warriors present.
Everyone else looked excited, but He Xingjue still frowned. "Contact Li Ze and have him move here temporarily for a while."
The eldest princess caused trouble for Li Ze because of him, so he should bear some responsibility for what happened today.
If Li Ze had been even slightly weaker today, he probably wouldn't have survived.
He Xingjue frowned more and more deeply. Since becoming his partner, Li Ze seemed to have been constantly dragged down by him.
However, if she divorces Li Ze now, the royal family will be even more unscrupulous in dealing with him.
Fine, let's just delay it for a while longer.
“Commander, we don’t have Madam’s contact information,” Ishikawa said.
He Xingjue froze, pursed his lips, and did not respond.
Seeing He Xingjue's expression, Shi Chuan understood perfectly, and suggested, "Shall we go directly to the Li family manor to pick them up?"
“Go, take more people with you,” He Xingjue said.
After Ishikawa and the others left, He Xingjue turned to the robot and said, "Barrel, go and prepare a room."
"Master, which room should I clean?" The round, bright eyes of the barrel stared at He Xingjue.
He Xingjue paused for two seconds, then said, "Next to my room."
Ishikawa and his group soon returned.
"Where is he? Isn't he coming?" He Xingjue asked. "Didn't you tell him that the royal family would take action against him?"
“We didn’t see anyone,” Ishikawa replied.
"Could it be that the royal family has already made a move?" He Xingjue frowned. "Pass down my order to search for Li Ze's whereabouts with all our might, and keep a close eye on the royal family's movements."
"yes."
