Tang Shaoyang made a hasty exit from the room after Li Shuang arrived. Zhang Mengyao and Li Shuang exchanged glances. It was just a feeling, but it felt like they were talking through those gazes. Li Shuang nodded as if she got the message while Zhang Mengyao followed him.
"So do you need me to explain?"
Zhang Mengyao shook her head, "There's no need. I think I already know what happened."
He was relieved it did not cause a misunderstanding right before he left. He wanted to ask Zhang Mengyao to persuade the father and the daughter not to be stubborn. It might be too much to ask her, especially with the duty he gave to her.
During her absence, Zhang Mengyao and Li Shuang would be in power to make the decision. With that responsibility in her hand, it was better to add anything to her mind.
They arrived in his office, which he had never used. He had been here less than ten times. They exchanged kisses for a moment, the farewell.
Tang Shaoyang told her that he might not return even though he had monthly leave. He wanted to keep that monthly leave for the World War. Earth could only decline two more War of Worlds.
After the farewell, he left for the Administrator Space. He was immediately teleported into his room, and Ira was in his room, waiting for him.
"Have you found anything about the four worlds?"
That was the first thing that came out of Tang Shaoyang. The four worlds that challenged Earth into War of Worlds. He wanted to make sure whether the four worlds were related to any Executive Administrator.
Ira had a deep frown when he mentioned the four worlds, "I have looked into them."
"I want you to answer my question before we proceed with this. Do you offend any Executive Administrator?"
"I don't think so, and I don't even know anyone but Arion. How am I supposed to offend them when I don't know them? It's more like they don't like me than anything else."
Tang Shaoyang told her about his meeting with the eleven Executive Administrators. How he received the special mission because one of the Executive Administrators tried to dodge the draft call to guard the Void Gate.
Ira was in a dilemma. She wanted to cut off any links to Tang Shaoyang to avoid the trouble that would come from the Executive Administrator. However, the reward from this special mission was too big for her not to participate.
In the end, she still chose to remain on the team. Or else, she would not be here right now. She was relieved that it seemed like Tang Shaoyang was not offending any of them. Based on the story, it was more like a political move by one of the Executive Administrators. That might be the case since Tang Shaoyang was close to Arion.
"Out of the four worlds you mentioned, two are connected to one of the Executive Administrators. Ovalan and Vigrilon were ruled by one faction, Novis. Do you know the leader of Novis? Palmas, one of the Executive Administrators."
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, recalling the meeting. He remembered the name. The woman Executive Administrator mentioned that name, the person who tried to dodge the draft call.
"Alixon, not surprised why they challenged your world into the War of the Worlds. It's one of many worlds under the God Alliance."
Knowing the history between Tang Shaoyang and the God Alliance. Ira was not surprised when she found out about Alixon.
"The interesting part is Ivre. Ivre is a world ruled by mercenary factions. You know what mercenaries do, right? One of your enemies pays all mercenaries in Ivre to challenge you. I am amazed that your enemy is willing to go that far for you. I tried to find out who hired them, but they are quite tight-lipped."
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows. He expected one of them was Vigamaur Dgaror or even the work of The Nirvana Alliance. But both were not involved in the matter, and most likely all of this was the work of the God Alliance and Novis.
"Thank you for your help. I will also share an interesting fact. Don't trust Adam too much. It seems like Adam is heavily influenced by the Executive Administrator. This smart-ass AI is not as neutral as we thought."
That was what he found out from Atilla, the woman who guided him to the Executive Administrator. Looking at Ira's surprised complexion, she seemed not to know that yet.
"The woman named Atilla told me about it."
Tang Shaoyang headed to the door, "Gather the people. We will leave once I return."
"Where are you going?" Ira followed.
"I am going to meet the Executive Administrators. They need to raise the reward since one of them is targeting my world, no?"
Tang Shaoyang left the room while Ira stayed.
"Adam! Tell the Executive Administrators that I want to meet them!"
[You need to make an appointment to meet the Executive Administrator!]
"Then make an appointment for me."
[It usually takes three days on average before your appointment gets approved. There will not be enough time because you will leave for a special mission.]
"Wow. I don't actually believe Atilla when she said that you are on the Executive Administrator's side, but I do now. That Palmas guy is surely using all his tricks."
Tang Shaoyang did not really believe it until he experienced it.
"If I can't meet the Executive Administrator today, then I will cancel my special mission."
[You can't cancel the Special Mission! You will be teleported forcefully to the Special Mission location if you refuse to leave for your Special Mission.]
"Do that, then I will side with this Void Cult or whatever it is. I will destroy the force near the Void Gate. I will make sure that the Void Creatures will swarm the God Realm! Dare me, Adam!"
He was not joking when he said that. If he was forcefully teleported out for the Special Mission. He would not necessarily side with the Void Cult, but he would try to destroy the force that guarded the Void Gate. He would use everything to make sure the Void Creature entered the God Realm.
Adam did not answer him this time. The AI went silent for fifteen minutes as Tang Shaoyang was waiting in the lounge. Exactly fifteen minutes later, Adam spoke again.
[Executive Administrator Clementine and Executive Administrator Arion are willing to meet you. You will be teleported to the meeting room in ten seconds.]
Tang Shaoyang smirked when he heard the answer. The ten-second countdown and his figure disappeared from the lounge after the countdown.
