Tranxending Vision - Chapter 896

Chapter 896: 896

The shocking ‘accident’ at Arabino Range had media outlets all over the world scrambling to be the first on the issue . Japan had lost three Type 10 Tanks and nine men, but the Land of the Rising Sun wasn’t planning on demanding any explanation from China . On the contrary, they were very much afraid that China would demand an explanation from them . After all,having three tanks malfunction at the same time and target one tank was a hard lie to stretch . Who would’ve bought that lie?

On the other hand, China wasn’t planning on questioning Japan about the incident at Arabino Range . The foreseen best outcome would just be an official apology from both sides, which gave no meaning to the already ended issue . Not to mention, Xia Lei was the one who destroyed three of Japan’s tanks . The incident literally ended with an eye for an eye resolution .

Xia Lei remained unbothered about the entire ordeal . Returning to China, the man immediately started a maintenance and resurrection project for the damaged ZTZ100 while he provided some feedback to improve the model .

For the Thunder Horse Organization, the Arabino Range incident was beneficial to them as it was essentially a field test . The so-called accident had testified to ZTZ100's overall practical performance . The ZTZ100 main battle tank was the brainchild of Thunder Horse Organization’s most advanced technologies . Any inadequacy and shortcomings sourced from the data collected on Arabino Range were very important .

On the second day since his return, Sa’im too had returned from America .

Xia Lei met him in a secret room back at the Peace Mansion . While the meeting was in progress, four women guarded outside the door . They were Giovanna and Stella from the Grey family and Rosa and Theresa of the Russo family . Their wounds were healed and they were officially members of the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team . However, their main task was focused on protecting Xia Lei and the people around him . Therefore, it was probably more appropriate to call them Xia Lei’s knights than members of the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team .

In the room, Xia Lei dove straight into the topic . “Still no updates on her?”

Sa’im shook his head . “None . After our last call, I’ve tried to search for her and used some of my contacts . Unfortunately, we found nothing . The last place she appeared at was Washington, but she’s clearly not there anymore . ”

Xia Lei thought of Langley but he said nothing . He didn’t want Sa’im sending his men to that place . The area was the CIA’s turf . It was literally a forbidden territory for spies and agents .

“Also, I obtained a very weird piece of information back in America . ”

“What is it?” Xia Lei returned to the present .

Sa’im answered, “A few inexplicable deaths had occurred in Washington . Initially, the police had suspected that it was a terrorist attack that used nerve toxic gases but the progress on the case was gradually undeclared . Eventually, the cases fell silent . ”

The term ‘inexplicable deaths’ was something Xia Lei had associated with Zhu Xuanyue . The man didn’t need American intel and investigation findings to know that this was Zhu Xuanyue’s doing .

“The weirdest thing is that all victims that had died were members of the mafia and drug dealers . They’re all scums of society . Some American media outlets had even hailed the mysterious murderer as some kind of hero . They have yet to find out about the person’s gender . Some depicted them as male while some were convinced that they were female . There was no uniformed idea about its gender,” said Sa’im .

Xia Lei thought to himself . “She kills only bad people . Was this because of me? Was it because I yelled at her and she had learnt that she was in the wrong? If that’s the case, she’s not as evil as I had imagined her to be…”

“That’s all I have . ” Sa’im looked ashamed . “Boss, you entrusted a task to me but I lost her . I…”

Xia Lei flashed a reassuring smile . “This isn’t your fault . It was a task even I couldn’t complete . You may head back now . I’ll be handing you someone new to investigate . ”

“What’s the new task about?”

“The FA Organisation . ” Xia Lei continued, “The Knight Hospitaller has been severely damaged . Without their threats, the FA Organization will definitely resume its operation . I want to know their next moves so I need you to collect as much FA intel as possible . ”

“Got it, I’ll have my men start work as soon as I get back,” said Sa’im .

After Sa’im had left, Xia Lei stayed behind in the room in a daze . There was an unwavering presence in his mind . Zhu Xuanyue .

Earlier, when Sa’im had told him that Zhu Xuanyue was only murdering bad people, Xia Lei felt the sudden urge to bring her back . However, now that he had thought things through with a calmed heart, the urge dissipated .

What would happen after her return?

Fearfully, the man would be faced with the problem of getting her fed . Was there an abundance of villains for her to feed on in Bailu Town and Jingdu? Zhu Xuanyue couldn’t live on without food either . She was bound to get hungry .

“The more she eats, the more energy she’ll harbour . If this goes on, will she recover her normal state? What would she be like when that happens? Will she be a friend or foe?” Those were questions Xia Lei had no answers to .

The door to the secret room was opened . The entrance of the four female knights immediately added alluring fragrance to its interior . There was a variety of scents, the room smelt of roses, lavenders, jasmine and something akin to sweet osmanthus .

All four of the female knights were dressed in dark feminine suits . The well-tailored garments highlighted their curves beautifully, extruding the sexiness they naturally possessed . In this getup, they didn’t look like knights or security but they certainly looked like secretaries .

Xia Lei could no longer resume his thoughts . He smiled at them . “You smell really good . When did you buy perfume?”

Giovanna was the first to speak up . “We used Taobao . ”

“We used your chef’s account to buy these,” said Stella .

“It was ten dollars per bottle . ” Theresa helpfully supplied .

“And it was on promotion . Buy four free one . ” Rosa chimed in .

Xia Lei stared at them in confusion .

“What’s with that expression?” Giovanna pouted . “We’re penniless, we even had to borrow money from your chef to buy ourselves perfume . ”

“Yeah . And these clothes were gifted to us by Liang Siyao,” said Theresa .

“We don’t even have money to buy our other ‘necessities’,” grumbled Rosa .

Xia Lei was stunned . “Buy what?”

“You know, that . ” Stella seemed a little bashful . “Period pads . ”

The unannounced appearance of the female knights doused in cheap perfume and cries of poverty had made their ulterior motive obvious .

Xia Lei dug into his pockets for his wallet and pulled out a card . “Take this . You can buy anything with this, including cars . ”

“What? Even cars?” Giovanna gaped in shock .

Xia Lei replied, “This card has a limit of ten million dollars for domestic transactions . Use it as you please . ”

“Woah! Xia, you’re so wonderful!” Giovanna spread her arms and embraced Xia Lei . Her full breasts unforgivingly pushing themselves against Xia Lei’s taut chest . The female knight even pecked his cheek after releasing him .

Their gestures were a common form of greeting in Italy . However, Xia Lei was raised in China . They did not do that in China . Regardless of his discomfort, Theresa, Stella and Rosa did the same after Giovanna had let go of him, kissing and hugging him in turn . The physical contact had stirred up some physiological reaction, which could be seen from the tent of his pants .

Giovanna was all smiles as she stared at Xia Lei . “Xia, are you thinking of what I’m thinking?”

The other three stared at him intently . Their eyes were smiling, lips curled in a coquettish manner .

Sheepishly, Xia Lei said, “Go! Buy whatever you want! Now that you work under me, I’ll make sure that you live the rest of your life in luxury . Each of you shall receive two hundred thousand dollars per month as salary . ”

“Yay!” Theresa exclaimed, rushing towards him with stretched arms .

The other three followed suit .

Xia Lei frantically dodged their incoming embraces . “Enough, that’s enough . I’m not too used to gestures like these . Anyway, let me just say this again . As long as you serve me, you will enjoy comfortable and dignified lives . ”

“We were already yours in Malta,” uttered Giovanna .

“Yeah, do you need us to show you our hearts . ” Theresa’s fingers were fumbling with a button .

Xia Lei could feel his head spin . “You… What are you trying to do?”

The four women looked at each other .

Giovanna spoke, “We will not be returning to Italy and we’re not planning to return . We’re your knights and we’ll protect you with our lives . However, we don’t wish to abandon our faith, so…”

“Go on . ”

“Xia, could you build us a Catholic church?” Giovanna finally said it out loud .

Rosa added, “Just beside the Peace Mansion . ”

Theresa supplied, “With the church, there’ll be more brothers and sisters joining us . We’re well aware that we’re way weaker than your men in comparison . Hence, we wish to build a faithful team . ”

“Yes . ” Stella chimed in, “We’ve got many brothers and sisters back in Italy who would be more than willing to join us . ”

Ah, so that was it . Xia Lei hadn’t seen this coming but the revelation had him comforted . “That’s a great idea . Sure, no problem . I’ll contact a construction company in a bit and have them build a church for you beside the Peace Mansion . ”

A faithful religious team controlled by his four female knights meant additional power . It was true that the ladies were nothing like the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team members . But with that, they would be able to hold very important roles around him .

“Xia, we didn’t know this before but we know better now,” mentioned Giovanna .

“Know what?”

“You’re the most charming man in the world, and perhaps the best man the world has to offer . ” Giovanna went forward and gave him another embrace .

Xia Lei had never felt more awkward in his life .

The female knight whispered into his ear . “You saved our lives and protected our dignity and faith . You own us . If you want it… it’s alright too . ”

Xia Lei felt his body tense up .

Though it wasn’t explicitly worded, it wasn’t difficult to comprehend the matter she was implying .

Giovanna released her grip and beamed . “Alright then, we’re going shopping . ”

The other three sisters flashed their best smiles at Xia Lei .

But all Xia Lei could feel was a flurry of emotions terrorizing his heart .
