Chapter 12: Cooperation

1756 Words
"Bang, bang, bang...!" In the cockpit, gunshots rang out, and two bodies were dragged out half a minute later... They were all the hijackers, and it seemed that the hidden bodyguards of Mordemgg were all skilled. Besides one who got shot in the shoulder, the others were all unharmed. By this time, everything was settled. Four hijackers were killed, one was captured. The young leader's hands and feet were frozen, and then he was handcuffed by Mordemgg's bodyguards. In the cockpit, the two pilots were also unharmed. The hijackers only forced them to fly to a certain place, without hurting them. Now, the incident was over, and they naturally reported it and flew to their destination according to the original plan. The incident gradually subsided, and many people expressed their gratitude to the two of them. They both politely responded. However, it seemed that many people were still shaken by the experience, and few people continued chatting. The cabin was quiet... The plane landed... Surrounding the plane were over 100 SWAT teams, the hijackers were quickly controlled, and Li Xing and others were questioned. But Mordemgg seemed to be quite skilled, and Li Xing was only in the police station for half an hour before being personally escorted out by him. Sitting in the luxury car, Li Xing felt a little novel. It was the first time he had ever sat in such a car in his life. "Li Xing, have you had your meal yet?" Meddang asked with genuine concern. "Yes, indeed not yet," Li Xing replied honestly nodding his head. "Then if there's nothing urgent, would you mind having lunch with this old man?" Meddang said humorously. Li Xing smiled and replied, "Of course not, I'm actually hungry now." "That's good. I've already reserved a table, and there are some things I want to talk to you about. But let's wait until we get there." "Okay," Li Xing didn't say anything else, he could confirm that the old man had no ill intentions towards him, but he didn't know the old man's purpose at the moment. He would see how things went and act accordingly. When they arrived, it was at a very luxurious hotel. Meddang seemed to be very familiar with the place, accompanied by several bodyguards, he led Li Xing to a private dining room. Opening the door, Li Xing was surprised to find that there was already someone sitting there, and it was a young boy. He looked to be around ten or twelve years old, with golden hair and blue eyes like Meddang's. He was dressed very appropriately, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry when he saw someone coming in. He stood up and greeted them politely, "Grandpa, you're here. And this is...?" "Oh, this is Grandpa's friend, his name is Li Xing," Li Xing, this is my grandson Jack, his Chinese name is Ming Feng." After introducing the two of them, Li Xing and Jack shook hands with each other. Jack warmly invited you to sit down first. After sitting down, Li Xing was slightly surprised, as he had originally thought that there would only be him and Meridnger, but he didn't expect Meridnger to have called his grandson... Upon thinking about it, he realized that this meal was probably something that the two of them had already arranged, but it just so happened that something else had occurred, so Meridnger decided to invite himself over as well. However, he still didn't know what the old man's purpose was. Before Li Xing could start speaking, Meridnger smiled and spoke first, "Jack, you may not know this, but Li Xing is an esper, and he's very powerful!" As Meridnger said this, Li Xing clearly felt that Jack was looking at him with a bright expression! "May I ask what kind of power does Li Xing brother have?" Jack looked at him excitedly, even forgetting to maintain his own elegance. "He has a natural ice-based power." It's not a big deal, his power has already been exposed to Meridnger. "What Looking at his sincere eyes, Li Xing couldn't bring himself to lie. After carefully feeling it, he answered, "You will feel as if you have gained a new power within your body. As you gradually cultivate, this power will become stronger and more manageable." Saying this, Li Xing raised his right hand and drove his spiritual power. In his palm, an ice sculpture...a bird spreading its wings to fly...appeared. "Amazing..." Jack stared fixedly at Li Xing's hand, his eyes full of admiration. "Anyway," you two shouldn't be lost in admiration of this. I've already ordered them to start serving the food. Soon, a variety of dishes were served all at once, quite sumptuous...Mortdogg was originally planning to have a drink, but Jack and Li Xing both refused at the same time. Jack said he had classes tomorrow and couldn't drink, and for Mortdogg's health, Li Xing didn't let him drink either. Li Xing himself was so busy that Shadow Blade had scheduled his daily training program, and he hadn't finished it today, of course, he couldn't get drunk either. At the dinner table, the three of them ate while Meridian began to explain his purpose to Lee Sing. He spoke for a long time, in great detail... Lee Sing understood completely. Meridian and Jack belonged to a family called the Stanthorpes, who were well-known in Western and European countries. They had many businesses and were powerful, with the words "wealthy, influential, and powerful" summing them up. Meridian himself was a respected elder in his family. His grandson Jack wanted to come to China to study, so Meridian arranged for him to attend Peking University. The reason he was willing to make friends with Lee Sing was because of their family's upcoming plan... They had discovered the site of an ancient Earth civilization! And they wanted to develop it using the power of their family. Unfortunately, though they had determined the approximate location of the site in the ocean, it was in a very awkward place. The magnetic field there was too strong, and their family's exploration planes and ships had failed twice. All the Earth-made planes and ships that entered the area experienced radar failure, and even once, one of their exploration planes nearly didn't make it back. The family was at a loss. Then suddenly, someone suggested the idea of getting help from the Human Alliance since Earth-made equipment wasn't working. They are a wealthy family, and if they wanted to, they could easily buy a more advanced anti-magnetism radar device from the Human Alliance. Then everything would be solved. But the problem is that he cannot contact any of the interstellar companies. Such military equipment cannot be transported by parcel delivery. It is not only complicated in terms of procedures, but also has strict regulations for escort. Earth has been a member of the Human Alliance for many years, but it still does not have the ability to travel to other stars. Therefore, their family is still in a situation where they have money but cannot buy anything. Actually, not only the Stansen family, but many large companies on Earth have shown great interest in the many benefits provided by the Human Alliance to low-level civilizations. However, the Earth Federation Government has not yet opened up Earth, so that the planet, which should have joined the Human Alliance soon, is now in an insignificant position, even with a sense of being cut off from the world... So now it is clear that Mordin wants to reach an agreement with Lee Sing and have him become a judge and enter the universe. He hopes that Lee Sing can serve as a medium to allow the Stansen family to have more contacts with the Human Alliance... "I actually wonder why the old man found me?" "As an elderly gentleman, you should also know other mutants, shouldn't you?" Li Xing was indeed confused about these things. After all, he had just acquired his powers for a short time, and his own knowledge of the Human Alliance was limited. To his surprise, however, Madingge shook his head in response to Li Xing's words, looking at Li Xing with questioning eyes, he then explained, "To be honest, I do know some, but in my eyes, their powers seem to be quite weak. Moreover, no one is as familiar with the Cosmic Universal Language as you. Therefore, I don't see much hope in them. Just when I met you, your conditions are better than most of them. That's why I chose you, so you don't have to be too surprised." It was like that... Li Xing couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He didn't know anything about the Cosmic Universal Language. It was all because of the translation chip in his brain... However, all of this was trivial, and now he really needed some help. So he nodded in agreement. "Great! I really hope we can work together smoothly," Madingge, the elderly gentleman, extended his hand to Li Xing, who naturally shook it back and smiled, saying, "Of course, it's a must." The two of them sat down again, only to see Jack looking hesitant on the sidelines. "What's wrong?" Concerned about his grandson, Murdinger naturally spoke up immediately. "The thing is, I'd like to ask Mr. Lee Xing to do me a favor. If he can successfully reach the universe, could he buy me a bottle of brain development serum? We're really short on it on Earth!" Jack... Murdinger was about to open his mouth to tell his grandson not to make any random requests, but Lee Xing had already agreed readily: "No problem, it's on me." His easygoing attitude made Murdinger feel more at ease. In his eyes, it was a clear sign of wanting to strengthen their partnership. Jack was even more excited! He had skipped grades to go to college, so he was not that old. He was still at the age of admiring those with superpowers. He used to get so excited when he saw those people on TV. But he never thought that he would get such an opportunity! As for Lee Xing, they didn't know, but Lee Xing knew that brain development serum was not a rare commodity in the universe. It was readily available in many places, and if he could succeed, it would be a piece of cake for him... "Oh, by the way, Mr. Old Man, could you explain those bandits?"...
