The Almighty Ring - Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156: 1156

“I need Energy Crystals . I don’t need much, only about five million of them,” said Jiang Fei . It was a number that 0543 had provided .

“Is that so . ” Straz hummed . He had been attempting to establish a connection with 0543 but had failed repeatedly . Jiang Fei was desperate but he was smart enough to never reveal his emotions to Straz . Straz was also desperate since 0543 would not respond to his hailing . If he tried to delay talking to Jiang Fei, Jiang Fei himself might realize something was up .

“I cannot make this decision myself . I need to contact my superior . Perhaps you should talk to the leader yourself,” said Straz as he disappeared from the oval hall .

“F*ck you . If it weren’t for Isabella, I would not be taking this from you!” Jiang Fei thought . Jiang Fei was careful; he did not allow any of his emotions to leak out . Even when Straz had left the room, leaving him alone, Jiang Fei still expressed a calm and relaxed posture .

The moment of silence in the oval hall was both frustrating and annoying to Jiang Fei . He was in dire need of Energy Crystals and had no time to waste! A few minutes later, Straz returned to the hall with Z0-11 walking behind him . They were exchanging words with each other but it was inaudible . Then again, he could not be bothered to listen to what they were saying .

“Are you sure?” Z0-11 asked . The two of them were still talking to each other, out of Jiang Fei’s earshot .

“Yes . There was no response . ”

“Mhm . This is as expected . Even so, your carelessness had cost us dearly . ”

“What should we do now?”

“No matter . This is not your concern anymore . ” Z0-11 shoved Straz away and came into the hall . Straz followed suit with his head hanging .

“I assume you were informed of my request?” Jiang Fei pushed . Time was a luxury that Jiang Fei could not afford at the moment .

“Yes . However, I am curious to know . What are you going to do with five million Energy Crystals?” Z0-11 spoke . His monotonous, synthetic voice was dull and emotionless, which ticked Jiang Fei off a little . At the same time, Z0-11 was flicking its fingers, directing a beam of energy straight toward Jiang Fei’s ring .

“Haven’t you heard of the phrase, curiosity killed the cat? Back to my question, will you or will you not help me? It’s a simple yes or no question,” said Jiang Fei .

Jiang Fei was so preoccupied with Isabella’s issue that he was completely oblivious to the energy beaming toward the ring . The ring actually produced visible blink of light, which faded just as quickly . Not long after, another beam of energy was fired out from the ring, which was received by Z0-11 . At that moment, both Z0-11 and Straz’s eyes glowed faintly with a blue light .

Even if Jiang Fei had failed to notice the invisible beam of energy fired between Z0-11 and the ring, he could still see the faint glowing lights that were coming from both Z0-11 and Straz .

“Yes . We will help you . Please wait here . I shall have my men gather the requested Energy Crystals,” said Z0-11 . Both Straz and Z0-11 quickly paced out of the oval hall .

Alone in the hall, once again, Jiang Fei could not help but feel relaxed . It was a feeling of acceptance . He was only a fighter of Level 4, standing in the middle of someone else’s lair . There was nothing he could do but die should Z0-11 suddenly wish for his death .

…

“I cannot believe he’s been keeping this from us . What should we do?” Straz asked when both Z0-11 and Straz were out of the oval hall .

“Mhm . Jiang Fei had played us quite well . Isabella was already useless to begin with!” Z0-11 laughed coldly .

“I blame myself for believing in Isabella for so long,” said Straz angrily .

“Leader, what should we do next? Should we just–” Straz stopped talking as he made a gesture which suggested terminating Jiang Fei right there and then .

“NO! HE IS NOT TO BE HARMED!” Z0-11’s sudden roar caught Straz by surprise .

“Jiang Fei is nothing but a parasite to us now . Why is he allowed to live?” Straz asked .

“I have my reasons . You are not at liberty to ask,” Z0-11 barked before turning its back toward him .

“So, are we supposed to just hand him the Energy Crystals?”

“Heh . Yes . But it’s not going to be that simple,” said Z0-11 . Its eyes glowed with a faint blue light .

“Take the information and send it over to the other party . Make sure they know everything about Jiang Fei . ”

Straz eyes glowed with the same hue before he nodded .

“I see . You are orchestrating this entire facade,” Straz answered with a satisfying tone, as if he had understood something .

“That,” said Z0-11 before it turned back to face Straz, “is just the start . ”

“Go and make preparations . I will delay Jiang Fei for as long as I can,” said Z0-11 as it walked toward the oval hall .

“Yes, leader . ”

Straz immediately left Z0-11 alone as he headed toward the internals of the base to start Z0-11’s plan against Jiang Fei .

“Mr . Jiang Fei . We will take some time here . Bennette Straz is currently assisting the gathering process,” Z0-11 said when it reentered the hall .

“Thanks,” said Jiang Fei with a big fake smile . It was inevitable . There was literally no one else on Earth that could help Jiang Fei .

“No thanks necessary . We are allies . It is but expected of us to help each other in times of need . ”

Z0-11 was deliberately trying to waste as much time as it could to stall Jiang Fei . It brought up idiotic topics of conversation that Jiang Fei found extremely dull and drab . Even so, Jiang Fei had to wait . He could not leave the base without first acquiring the requested Energy Crystals . Even if he was having a panic attack, he had to force himself to laugh and nod at Z0-11’s nonsensical conversation .

While Jiang Fei was as nervous as a mouse in a room full of cats, Straz was getting as busy as a bee .

Straz was not getting busy gathering the aforementioned Energy Crystals . They were all already arranged neatly and was ready to be transported at any moment, even if Jiang Fei had not requested them . Straz was actually getting busy preparing a special route . He was going to spread the information about Jiang Fei, everything about him to the other factions of the Unknowns .

The other factions were skeptical about it when they first got hold of the information but it was proving to be too alluring to let slide . Thus, since the Unknowns were all Androids, powered by powerful computers, seconds after they had received the information, the leaders of the other factions decided to look into it . After scanning the location of Winter Islands via a powerful satellite and a sent scout team, the information was proven to be true when Nina and Sylphy defended the house where Isabella was being treated .

Isabella was the one entity that all the Unknowns hated . How many of their “brethren” had she killed? Now that they knew that Isabella was unconscious; a sitting duck in a pool of water; they would never let this once in a lifetime chance to slip away .

While the enemies were readying their armies at home, preparing to launch a second attack on Winter Islands, Jiang Fei was still waiting for the “promised” Energy Crystals on the moon base!
