Chapter 34

The reason she stopped talking afterward was simply because she was unaware of Zheng Chen's past experiences. Judging solely by her own experiences, it seemed like she was imposing her goodwill forcefully, "Being in a pact with the Holy War Angel is not exploitation."

"Uh... I can't help but ask, you two aren't really not in a pact, are you?" Greaz, holding his head, couldn't help but interject, surprised. Although the intelligence said so, few people truly believed it.

"Is he really just a stone?" Kokowit reached out to touch the ring around her neck. If not for Greaz telling her how dangerous it was, she would have really considered it a beautiful accessory, albeit one without any color.

"… I won't stay here." After a while, Zheng Chen finally spoke, "She has someone to find, and I have answers to seek."

Lassadi couldn't help but sigh, glancing at the blue-haired girl in surprise. She didn't know about this. As for Zheng Chen, it turns out this cold-faced man has his own pursuits.

"You don't seem like someone who enjoys helping others either." Kokowit blurted out, only to have her mouth quickly covered by Greaz. Didn't you see how the atmosphere was too heavy? Don't talk too much!

"Cough, so you're looking for someone, no wonder you're taking this route." Greaz, sweating profusely, said, stepping up to take responsibility for his woman's blabbering, "Who are you looking for? Maybe I can recognize them."

After hesitating for a moment, the blue-haired girl finally said a name, "Her name is Sia."

"Ah? A woman." Greaz was taken aback, winking at Zheng Chen, "There's a chance, boss."

"…" Zheng Chen gave Greaz a faint glance, "Answer."

"Cough." Greaz cleared his throat, frowning as he thought, carefully recalling. His position in the organization wasn't high, and he only had access to the middle levels.

"Sorry, I don't have much of an impression."

"Then Kith? Kith Ferong?"

"Oh oh! I know this one!" Greaz's eyes lit up, slamming his palm, "Everyone in the Edel Garden knows him."

"He's a hero in the Edel Garden." After pushing Greaz's black hand away, Kokowit added, "He lived for two hundred years, it's almost inhuman."

With a clear message, the blue-haired girl's tense expression eased, "Sia is Kith's wife."

"… Huh?" Greaz and Kokowit were both taken aback. They had no idea about this. Shaking his head, Greaz looked at her strangely, "Is that true? It shouldn't be. If she's Kith's wife, her name should also be engraved on the Heroes' Monument. What's special about Sia?"

"Sia is a Holy War Angel."

"This makes even less sense." Greaz became serious, feeling like he had unknowingly stepped into a new deep pit, "If that's true, then there's only one explanation: Sia's history has been concealed. According to what we know, Kith was a famous figure in the Edel Garden five hundred years ago…"

Greaz stared blankly at the blue-haired girl.

"Five hundred years…" Lassadi looked at the blue-haired girl with shock, recognizing the Holy War Angel named Sia. Kith's history spans five hundred years… yeah, if you connect the dots, the girl in front of her must be at least a few hundred years old.

"…" Zheng Chen was also a bit silent.

"Why are you all looking at me?" The blue-haired girl tilted her head in confusion.

"I know Holy War Angels are very long-lived, but to maintain the same appearance for hundreds of years… that's impressive." Greaz said, a bit conflicted, while Kokowit patted his head.

"Hehe, now you know my good side, don't worry, I won't abandon you."

Greaz was a bit embarrassed, "Cough, anyway, with the Edel Garden's resources, hiding someone's history is too easy, especially after so much time has passed. Even if there were any traces, they would be hard to uncover now."

After a while, Greaz continued, "Actually, if possible… don't go to the Edel Garden. I found you because I received a private order… the president probably doesn't know about this."

"No, I have to find her." The blue-haired girl shook her head, and Greaz couldn't help but look at Zheng Chen, feeling helpless. Seeing Zheng Chen's expression unchanged, he became even more worried!

For no other reason, at least to fight for his own survival.

To persuade Zheng Chen, well, the possibility is low. Since that's the case, let's try something else. At first, he thought the blue-haired girl was looking for a childhood sweetheart or lover in the Edel Garden. Now that he knows, it's a Holy War Angel who might be her sister. That makes it easier to talk about!

"Let me put it this way, even though I was defeated by you, boss, essentially, Kokowit and I didn't even use a tenth of our strength." That's true, if Zheng Chen had been a bit more ruthless, they wouldn't have even used a tenth of their strength. They would have been done for.

Rushing back to the deck, it was still quiet in the middle of the night. The recent commotion had already calmed down, and the patrol didn't find any suspicious characters. The scene only had a broken chair, like someone's prank.

"Greaz, the material of the neck ring is strange, I can feel it even in the pact state." Kokowit said, a bit helpless.

"This? Let's just consider it our bad luck…" Greaz pulled at the corners of his mouth, glancing at Zheng Chen, and began chanting with the short sword after the pact with Kokowit.

Ripple-like sound waves radiated outward. Zheng Chen looked at the shaking tables and chairs on the deck. If these sound waves didn't avoid him, they could hurt people. Was this protection during the chanting?

But the flaw was too big. Chanting takes time, and during this time, if they were interrupted, no matter what big move Greaz had, it would be stifled!

"Sound Wave Initial String!!!"

The sound wave crashed into the distant sea, like a bomb being thrown into the black water, causing a splash dozens of meters high… an incredibly violent force, more powerful than a normal cannon!

"Hey? Greaz!! My power seems to have been partially cut off when I used it." Kokowit exclaimed in surprise, immediately breaking the pact state, looking at her hands in confusion, "Did I get weaker?"

"No, I feel everything is normal." Greaz scratched his head, confused.

"You're the platform, I'm the one outputting the power, how can you not know? My power output was at least cut off by a third!" Kokowit touched the neck ring, "It must be because of this thing. Otherwise, why would that only cause such a small splash!"

"…" Small splash? Zheng Chen looked at the now calm sea, lost in thought. The chanting and charging took a bit of time, but the power was terrifying. Although Zheng Chen was surprised, he wasn't frightened.

Power is relative. The destructive power is strong, but this is just a platform. Would Greaz dare to use it in close combat? Unless he didn't want to live!

"This metal is strange." Kokowit stared straight at Zheng Chen.

Strange? The metal came from the box where the blue-haired girl had been sleeping for about five hundred years. It's normal for it to be strange. After thinking about it, Zheng Chen, to Kokowit's surprise, took off the neck ring from her neck… and Greaz's hand now had a bracelet…

A Holy War Angel and the user must be in a pact to unleash the greatest power, so it doesn't matter who wears it. Zheng Chen just didn't want to bother with the recovery.

"You're so petty." Kokowit's eyebrows twitched, giving Zheng Chen a disdainful glance. Regardless, without the life-threatening neck ring, she felt much lighter. As for her partner, well, he would have to bear with it for now. The neck ring was already fatal enough, and the wrist bracelet was just a light rain, "Now I can use my full power."

The calm sea erupted again with a splash, about half the size larger than the previous one. This power… was enough to easily destroy the passenger ship. Zheng Chen also gained a new understanding of the power of the pact weapon.

As for the size of the power, each has its own strengths. Kokowit's is a high-destructive range attack, but it doesn't provide much protection to the user. Otherwise, Zheng Chen wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily.

The Brilliance Hunters Waluk and Jilulu he had encountered before couldn't unleash such powerful destructive power, but they had a special advantage in defense. Zheng Chen had defeated them by exploiting their defensive weaknesses.

"Ha ha ha! This is the kind of power I'm talking about!!"

"Let's go back." Zheng Chen said. The two loud explosions successfully drew the attention of the crew again. When they returned, Zheng Chen directly changed their residence. The reason was that Lassadi's economy room was really too crowded!

Compared to the luxury room where Greaz and Kokowit stayed, it was several levels lower!

"… I'm a bit regretful for spending all the money on that fat guy." Looking at the luxury room's decor, Lassadi rubbed her forehead in frustration. In comparison, their previous place was as simple as a slum!

Zheng Chen turned on the TV in the room. Surprisingly, there was a signal in the vast sea, and most of the programs were from the continent. There wasn't much to watch in the middle of the night, and he didn't care much about it.

Switching to another channel, everyone in the room was drawn to the attention. The program was about what Zheng Chen had done.

After watching for a while, Greaz was a bit stunned. After finishing, he couldn't help but look at Zheng Chen again. This… this cold-faced man actually planned so meticulously?

No wonder he could quietly break through the blockade and get the blue-haired girl on the ship. He had tricked all the security forces in the port town!
