The Almighty Ring - Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145: 1145

“Ah . I was only contacting the leader about Jiang Fei’s arrival . The leader has something to talk about with Jiang Fei,” Straz responded immediately as an attempt to hide the fact that he had been caught doing something suspicious .

“Huh? Me?” Jiang Fei said . He was oblivious to what had happened .

“That’s right . The great leader wishes to have an audience with you . I will take you to the leader when you are finished here,” said Straz normally, acting like nothing had happened .

Ariel stood still, minding her own thoughts when Jiang Fei talked to Straz . Despite that, she was sailing in her sea of thoughts . Right now, she had definitive proof that 0542 was colluding with the Unknowns . Unfortunately, that proof was only as good as a grain of salt to the sea . She needed something more concrete for Jiang Fei to see!

It pained her so but there was nothing she could do then . They were on the moon! Ariel and Jiang Fei were only two people . If she were to get things riled up, starting a fight there in the base would only cause a terrible ending to them .

Ariel sighed as she gave it a serious thought . She dared not confront the matter and decided to postpone calling 0542 out until she had definitive proof . It was an incredible unease for her since 0542 was akin to a time bomb strapped to Jiang Fei’s finger . Every moment the ring was on the finger was hell for her .

“In that case, shall we get a move on?” said Jiang Fei nonchalantly . He was done with the ship, and since unsealing 0541 was still a far away journey, there was no use in staying on the bridge . There was nothing he could do to further his cause .

“Please follow me,” said Straz as he gestured politely again .

Jiang Fei followed on with Ariel sticking extremely close to his side . The barrier that she had encased Jiang Fei with was still there . Jiang Fei noticed the barrier that she had cast on him but did not question her about it . From his point of view, he thought Ariel was just being overly cautious of his safety . He had been conditioned when 0541 was still around to think that the ring’s A . I support system would never do anything to harm him . That was why he had no idea that the barrier was erected, not to shield him from the Unknowns, but from 0542 .

Unbeknownst to Jiang Fei, the barrier served no other purpose but to block incoming and outgoing electromagnetic waves . Nothing could get in or out of the barrier if it had anything to do with electric waves .

With Straz’s guidance, Jiang Fei came to a large oval hall . It had a simplistic design with no windows and no doors . There was no visible hanging light yet everything was illuminated . Everything was… so… technologically advanced .

“Where’s Z0-11? Are we meeting here?” Jiang Fei asked .

“Please wait . The great leader with be here shortly,” Straz answered politely, like a plane steward, as he took two steps back, away from the walls .

Ariel got anxious . The room itself was too dangerous to be in . With Jiang Fei standing directly at its center, he would be at the perfect spot for an ambush . The walls itself could be hiding guns and turrets . Based on their technology advancement, Jiang Fei and Ariel might get shot from all around .

“No need to be so anxious, miss Ariel,” said Straz, smiling innocently .

When he was trying to communicate with 0542, Ariel had managed to catch them in the act and even did something to stop them . From then on, he knew that Ariel would not lower her guard when he was in the room . It was only fortunate that she was not able to produce any proof or else Jiang Fei would immediately call off the cooperation .

The only reason Ariel had not destroyed anything was because of their number . Jiang Fei had only brought Ariel along . The fighting force of them two combined was most definitely not enough to take on all the Unknowns at the moon base .

As for Straz’s side, Z0-11 would not want a confrontation then since they needed Jiang Fei to “surrender” the original parts of Braveheart . They might have more Energy Crystals than Jiang Fei could ever collect, but it was still far from what they needed to finish the entire ship .

To finish the ship, Z0-11 would have to make a move against the other Unknowns and rob their stash of Energy Crystals . Unfortunately, Z0-11 would never be able to do so with their current fighting force . Then again, they were good enough to leave them in peace, so why break the silence when the others wished to preserve it .

Hence, Z0-11 prioritized having a good relationship with Jiang Fei . To be specific, they needed the help of Isabella the Destroyer! Hence, it all boiled down to not offending Jiang Fei . To be honest, in their own turf, they could easily erase both Ariel and Jiang Fei . It would be like spraying insecticide in a small room .

They were, unfortunately, uninformed about Isabella’s current condition . They did not know about Isabella’s ailment . All they knew about her was the sheer destructive power she had during her awakening . If they knew that Isabella being cured would strip her of her Berserk power, they would not want to play this game of house with Jiang Fei .

At this point, it was all thanks to Ariel’s barrier that they were still oblivious about Isabella’s condition . Had she had not created the isolation barrier around Jiang Fei, 0542 would have transmitted its data pack to the Unknowns, which contained detailed reports of Jiang Fei’s activities . Jiang Fei was still alive, only because Z0-11 and Straz did not know that he was already useless to them .

After having caught 0542 once, Ariel never left Jiang Fei’s side . Her presence had created an obstacle for 0542 to transmit information to Straz . At that moment, Straz and Z0-11 were still under the presumption that Isabella was still strong . They needed her strength to fight and destroy their enemies, the other faction of the Unknowns, in order to rob their Energy Crystals .

While Ariel was still glaring at Straz, a crack opened at one of the far corners of the oval hall . The crack opened up wider, unveiling a long narrow pathway . No sooner, echoes of footsteps could be heard from it and Z0-11 revealed itself .

“Mr . Jiang Fei, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person,” said Z0-11 . Its voice made it hard to discern its gender, unlike Straz who was using his original voice pack from the game . Z0-11 was completely covered in a thick dark cloak, from head to toe .

“What do you need me for?” Jiang Fei asked .

“Nothing of urgent but there’s been… in layman terms, trouble . I wish for your help . If you would, and it would be so effortless for you to do so, help us, it would be beneficial to you as well,” said Z0-11 .
