For Fang Zheng, Sylvia's nod confirmed one of his companions. After all, the Star Martial Festival was just a means for Fang Zheng to build his reputation. If he wanted to overthrow the integrated corporate chaebols and hang all those capitalists under the street lamps, it would naturally be impossible to rely on such means. However... Fang Zheng was an expert at this.
In other words, in a world where personal force determines everything, it is actually simpler.
And now, what they need to focus on is the holding of the Griffin Star Martial Festival.
"I'm really bored..."
Standing in the audience, overlooking the stage in front of him, Fang Zheng snorted coldly. Unlike the doubles competition of the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, the team competition of the Griffin Star Martial Festival requires a larger venue, so the organizers also spent a lot of effort to transform the stage. The entire competition stage is surrounded by a trench like a moat, which is filled with protective gel developed by the Alekante Research Institute. In this way, the entire stage is like an island in the center of the lake. Coupled with the protective force field outside, the safety measures can be said to be impregnable.
Of course, in Fang Zheng's opinion, this thing was just a child's plaything. No matter whether it was him or Fan Xinglu, if they got serious, they could basically punch through the entire playing field with one punch. The protective force field was bullshit.
The opening ceremony of the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival will be held later today, and participating teams will be able to come here to visit in advance - this is also a privilege.
Although it's useless.
Of course, Fang Zheng was not the only one who came here.
"Oh? That's not..."
Seeing a familiar figure not far away, Fang Zheng walked over and greeted him.
“Yo.”
"Ah, Kasugano-kun."
Hearing the voice, the two people standing in front turned their heads. They were none other than Julis from the Seidoukan Academy and her boyfriend—what was his name?
Forget it, Fang Zheng has no interest in remembering men’s names.
"You guys are here to compete again."
"Of course, we will try our best to win the championship this time as well."
"hehe."
Hearing what Julis said, Fang Zheng laughed.
“Try hard.”
"...I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable when I hear you say this..."
Julis was quite unhappy with Fang Zheng's "Hehe", but she couldn't do anything to him. After all, she and her partner Amagiri Ayato had experienced the true power of the other party firsthand at the Phoenix Star Martial Festival. It was a complete crushing. Although the end of the battle was a bit of a cheating move, but... the other party has a big fist and strong strength, so he can play however he wants. There's nothing you can do to him, right?
Not to mention that Fang Zheng generously gave her the opportunity to realize her wish after the game, which made Julis unable to find a reason to get angry.
She couldn't possibly be angry with her creditor.
"By the way, Julis, I want to talk to you about something."
"this……"
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Julis hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Amagiri Ayato beside her. The latter smiled slightly and nodded.
"Then I'll go to the president."
After saying this, Amagiri Ayato turned and left, and Julis also turned around and looked at Fang Zheng.
"What's up?"
"Well, I remember you were a princess...what's your name..."
"The Kingdom of Zeletania... I am the first princess."
"Just don't be Britannia."
"???"
"By the way, I want to ask you, who is the king who rules your country now..."
"Yes, brother. What's the matter?"
"Oh, that's why I came to you."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"I hope you can arrange for me to meet your brother. How about that? That would be like you repaying my favor."
"Meeting my brother...?"
It must be said that Julis was quite surprised to hear Fang Zheng's request. She had no idea what Fang Zheng wanted to discuss with her brother. However, the other party was her benefactor after all, and as the first princess of the Zelentania Kingdom, it was not a particularly troublesome matter for Julis, so she nodded.
"That's no problem, but in terms of time..."
"How about after the Griffin Star Martial Festival is over, during the holiday?"
"Okay, I will inform my elder brother in advance..."
"No."
However, Fang Zheng shook his head and interrupted Julis.
"I hope you can tell him about this in person. When you return to China, I will go with you. Don't do this via email or phone, and it's best not to tell anyone else."
"Uh...Kasugano-kun? What exactly are you planning to do?"
Hearing this, Julis became more confused, while Fang Zheng shook his head.
"This is a matter between your brother and I. If you want to know, you can ask your brother after we have discussed it. But I promise, it's not a bad thing."
"Oh well……"
Julis nodded, and Fang Zheng gestured to her and turned away.
After all, he still had another princess to contact.
"Yo, Stella!"
"Alas--!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, Stella, who was not far away, froze all over and instinctively wanted to slip away, but Fang Zheng held her shoulders.
"You seem quite energetic. Is everything going well with your boyfriend recently?"
"It's fine! Why are you asking this?"
"I have something I want to talk to you about."
Fang Zheng looked around and made sure that there was no one else around before looking at Stella.
"You're a... princess, right?"
"I am the second princess of the Famillion Empire!"
Stella was furious when she heard Fang Zheng's question, mainly because Fang Zheng's tone revealed a question like "Are you also a princess?", which made her very unhappy.
How do I not look like a princess?
"That's perfect. I hope to meet with the ruler of the Familian Empire and discuss some things. Can you help me make the connection?"
"Father?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Stella also frowned.
"What do you want from father?"
"Things between adults have nothing to do with a little girl like you."
"You're not much older, okay? Let me make it clear in advance that not just anyone can see our father!"
"That's why I came to you. After all, I have helped you several times. You won't refuse to give me this little bit of face, right?"
"...It's not impossible, but what exactly do you want to do with your father?"
"Anyway, there is something wrong. It's useless to tell you now. If you want to know, just ask your father later."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"I hope you can tell your father about this face to face, not through text messages, emails or phone calls, and it's best not to have a third party present."
“…Is it that serious?”
Hearing this, Stella's expression also became serious. Although she had a hot temper, as a princess, she also knew the priorities. Based on Fang Zheng's request, she knew that what the other party wanted to talk to her father about was probably not just a small talk.
"We'll know when the time comes. Anyway, it's about time... After the Griffin Star Martial Festival, you'll have a holiday and return home, right?"
"Um……"
Speaking of this, Stella was still a little embarrassed.
"I plan to take Yihui back because my father said he wanted to meet him..."
"When the father-in-law meets his son-in-law, then wish him good luck."
Fang Zheng sighed casually and then turned back to the topic.
"That's it. I will also meet you in the Kingdom of Familion later. I will contact you then. Thank you for your help, okay?"
"Well, I hope you don't get into any trouble."
Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng was going to do, Stella still agreed to Fang Zheng's request. After confirming the schedule, Fang Zheng turned around and prepared to go back to the lounge. At this time, a voice suddenly rang out.
"ah--!!"
Along with the screams, Fang Zheng saw five girls running towards him and standing in front of him.
"You are Kasugano, right?"
"Who are you?"
Looking at the five girls in front of him, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment. Judging from the uniforms they were wearing, they should be students of Kui Enwei Girls' School. However... Fang Zheng only knew Sylvia at Kui Enwei Girls' School.
But when she heard Fang Zheng's question, the leading girl seemed shocked.
"Liar, don't you know us?"
“Do I have to get to know you?”
"What should we do?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the leading girl turned around and looked at her companions behind her.
"There are still people who don't know us, Lusaluka!!"
"I never thought that he might be a caveman..."
"I originally thought that I just needed to get his autograph and take a photo with him, but what should I do now?"
"…What do you want from me?"
Seeing that the other party was talking more and more outrageous, Fang Zheng frowned. What about signing autographs and taking photos? He was not a star-chaser, right?
"Really, Michelle, you are wrong."
At this moment, the tallest black-haired girl among the five girls was also startled when she saw Fang Zheng's expression and hurriedly lowered her head to him.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Mr. Kasugano. Actually, we came here to thank you."
"thank?"
"Yes, we have heard from Sylvia that it was thanks to you that Michelle and the others were rescued from that place..."
"Oh...it's you guys."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng came back to his senses. Speaking of the haunted incident in the old building, Sylvia did say that five girls were implicated, two of whom were seriously injured and three were missing. Later, after entering that ghost world, Qi Lin found that the three missing girls were possessed by ghosts and became students of Yingyu Girls' College. Later, Fang Zheng cracked that world and the three of them came back.
It’s just that Fang Zheng didn’t pay much attention to these three girls at that time.
The black-haired girl also hurriedly introduced herself to Fang Zheng.
It turned out that the five of them were members of a girl rock band called Lusaluka. The one at the beginning who was irritable and noisy was the lead singer and guitarist Michelle, the quiet one at the back was the drummer Baiwei, the petite and cute pink-haired girl was the bassist Monica, the last one with a hot temper and a fierce-looking green-haired girl was the guitarist Tulia, and the tall black-haired girl who introduced everyone to Fang Zheng was the keyboardist Mavrena.
This time, they also participated in the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival under the name of Team Lusalka.
Of course, according to Mavrena, they came to thank Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng felt that these people seemed to be looking for trouble...
"That's it anyway. I'm very sorry to bother you..."
"It's nothing, I just did it casually, you don't have to take it to heart."
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Mi Erxue jumped up immediately.
"Listen, I told you, he won't take it to heart. You shouldn't care too much about such trivial matters. Sooner or later, we will defeat Sylvia and pull her down from the throne of the world's number one!"
"Mi Erxue..."
Perhaps it was because Michelle's voice was a little loud, which made the other players who were not far away and came to observe the game curiously look over here. Mavrena almost cried when she noticed everyone's gazes. However, she didn't care at all and just waved at Fang Zheng with a smile.
"That's it then. Bye. Oh, by the way, to repay you, if we meet again, I will give you a little water. That's it."
"Really? What are you talking about?"
“…”
Watching the five girls leave noisily, Fang Zheng sighed speechlessly.
Are these a group of idiots?
