—A few days later - Rome —
—Aurelia House—
The sweet giggling voice resounded out of a green lawn beside the house. The owner of the sweet giggling voice came from a boy who was playing a handheld game console with Zhu Xian’er who came here to play, along with her parents Zhu Yinbing and Zhu Songtian.
That boy was Adrian who came to Rome along with Yun Xi who was usually taking care of him but since she got orders from Zhu Wushang to establish a supply base in Rome for his expedition to Alexandria along with the helpers from the volunteers from the sect people who came to this world to butter up to Zhu Wushang.
The wind from the sea along with the sound of waves crashing at the base of
After the party; Zhu Wushang went out on a night tour in Rome entertainment along with his two wives. Aurelia who had known Zhu Wushang and his wives for some time and could consider herself as one of the inner circle of Zhu Wushang knows exactly what they’re planning.They want to have alone time for themself; especially before Zhu Wushang goes to Alexandria to investigate the clue about the Black Merchant alone.She knew that what they are planning to do is not for the ears of the children who are currently staying at her mother's house; Otherwise, they might not want to go out to tour the night considering his parents staying here and spending some time with them before he goes to Alexandria.“Why don’t you go with them?”
— 10 nautical miles before arriving at Alexandria port —A large customized black cargo ship of over 50000 tons is traveling through the calm sea toward its destination; The Alexandria port.On this ship, over 1,000 passengers are traveling along with many cargoes that were carried on this ship. In this, over 1,000 passengers 400 of them are volunteers from the sect in Zhu Wushang world. The others are from the various government bureau and the people from the Qin Empire Imperial palace that represent the will of the Qin Emperor.At the ship bridge, Zhu Wushang is standing behind the control console and the radar console while looking at the captain and the crew working on the ship's navigation.“T
Once the gunboat was boarded by the sect of people; a series of gunfire rang out along with the shout and battle cry from both sides. None of the bullets had met their mark, some of them got parried by the sword, spear, or even metal fan; some just bounced off of the spirit-qi barrier from the sect's people who have high cultivation.Red blood from the gunboat guards was spilled each time the weapons from the sect people swung at their targets. The turret got cut cleanly by a sword qi from the sect people who came from the upper realm along with the lives of the people who are still in the turret.Few of the guards ran out of the deck with power armor but the defense of the power armor didn’t make any difference as it got cut like a hot knife through butter along with the people who wore it.At Zhu Wushang's side; The silhouette of a Submarine appeared before his eyes as he dived down with great speed. As if it had eyes the submarine immediately dived down and sped up to run away from
After the advance team from the sect’s people made sure that there was no danger, the Qin Empire team consisted of engineers, supply crews and other auxiliary positions such as communicators and general workers followed along and quickly set up a temporary forward base.As this is the first forward base that was set up in the area that had been cleared of rubble and debris. The crew made sure that this base was quick to move and take down if the situation require, but some of the representatives who have a deep connection to the Qin Empire higher up and the Royal Family who knew the information that only the selected few know were more daring.They knew that Zhu Wushang and the people who called themselves “Special Forces” were actually the people from the other world that have greatly superior strength and combat effectiveness than any soldiers or special forces in this world, and this strength even surpasses the veteran soldiers in power armor.So, these people who mostly are the re
After the two introduce themselves, they sit down on the opposite side of each other and start to negotiate.“Just now, Mr. Hatem, did you say that you know about me from the Qin Empire side? Can you tell me who you heard it from? specifically.” Zhu Wushang start.Asim smiled a little; he knew that he lost the bet but even though that bet was just an oral promise and nothing was compelling him to keep his promises. So he decided to play hard to get a little to maximize the benefit that his group would receive.Suddenly a strange feeling of friendliness and trust toward the man in front of him rose inside him and it compelled him to see this man as if he were a close friend who grew up alongside him from childhood.Asim is suddenly alarmed, he’s looking at the man in front of him as if looking at a monster while trying to fight and suppress this feeling. No matter whether he had been trained to resist many forms of interrogation including drugs such as the truth serum, this feeling tha
Zhu Wushang then starts to tell Xue Ji about his encounter with the Olympian gods. Which very much rang an alarm bell inside Xue Ji who took this expedition to this world as a trip to relax.After Zhu Wushang had told Xue Ji about his encounter with the god of Olympus Xue Ji became more serious about the current situation. He never thought that in this world without spirit-qi and cultivation resources such as this would be this deep.“So do you plan to deal with this mysterious god yourself?” Asked Xue Ji.“We’ll see… tomorrow I need to go to the city center anyway. I have an appointment with the local force.” Zhu Wushang said while looking at his tablet that have all of the information that scouts had reported on until now.“Want me to tag along?” Xue Ji asks.Zhu Wushang shook his head and then looked at Xue Ji.“You need to station here, and if possible. Call Fatty Bao and Azanah to come here to help you take over the command. I need some people I can trust to oversee these sect’s
In the morning, Zhu Wushang gave his instructions to all of the team especially Xue Ji who needed to take command while Zhu Wushang was absent. He instructed a foreseeable future of 1 month and gave some alternative instructions in case things go south for Xue Ji. After Zhu Wushang had finished, he went outside of the forward base and went straight toward Alexandria city center where he had an appointment with the local forces through Asim's arrangement. To prevent himself from being found out by local forces. He travels on land from alley to alley while expanding his spiritual sense around and releasing some of the formless one bugs he had sent in advance to scout ahead. In this war-torn city, he saw many atrocities caused by fellow humans, the strong and the ones with the weapons hold the power in this lawless land whether the one who holds dominance was soldiers or civilians. Despair and lack of choice drive one to kill for resources; The dark urge of beastly desire drives one’s
What Asim just said is like it fell on deaf ears. Other than scorn and ridicule in the eyes of the people in the room; No one is interested in doing what he had suggested. When Asim saw the reaction of his people, he sigh to himself and laments inside his heart at how unlucky he was. It’s not that he didn’t understand them either. He does understand them because if he were them and he had heard what he told them that someone who had ridiculous means that are able to subtly but also forcefully change someone's train of thought and attitude with ease like what Zhu Wushang did to him. He wouldn’t have believed it either. Also, their group is no stranger to the other side of the world's society. They knew about magic, god, and things that other people usually did not know. That’s why they also know the basics of how magic works such as the incantation, the preparation one needs to do in order to safely initiate the magic contract, and also the demonic pact that is more severe than the m
