Chapter 846: Chapter 846: It's Good to Be Prepared Chapter 846: Chapter 846: It's Good to Be Prepared In the Eight countries of Southeast, Greg Jensen tirelessly hammered at his Five Elements Special Ability night and day.
In his spare time, he would go to the factory to watch Karen Milton craft the Young Family's Magic Artifacts.
Although The Angel of Burning Mecha lacked the enhancement of a top-tier chip and couldn't unleash its full power,
their research added many practical features.
It enabled the wearer to soar into the sky, burrow underground, or dive into the sea, with a speed comparable to that of a cheetah.
It could also shoot webs, allowing its user to engage in parkour between skyscrapers just like Spider-Man in Western movies.
As Karen Milton put it, with their technical skills, they had pushed this armor to its limits.
To further enhance its power would require the intervention of the clan chief or the elders themselves.
Luckily, it deserves mention that on that very afternoon, the escort team successfully delivered the people of the Ancient Clan safely to the Dragon King's Palace.
Seventy-three people in total, not one less, having traveled through winds and over mountains; their faces showed signs of fatigue, but they also breathed sighs of relief.
After all, arriving in the Eight countries of Southeast meant they were completely out of Cherrywood's and Liberty Alliance's control.
Greg Jensen held a large banquet, inviting his subordinates like Fox and Snake to dine with the people from the Ancient Clan.
After the meal, as they were drinking and making merry, Karen Milton detailed everything about The Angel of Burning Mecha:
“Chief, whether it's to help our seniors or to reclaim our dignity, to prevent the second stage of The Angel of Burning Mecha from causing chaos in the world, you need to oversee the big picture!”
Zack Milton, having heard these matters, wore a grave expression, catching him somewhat off guard.
He hadn't expected that there would be a traitor among his clanspeople, someone who had actually offered the template of the Archangel to the Liberty Alliance, a grave violation of the Ancient Clan's ancestral teachings!
He sighed deeply, “Looking at the ones who have seen the Young Family's secret manual in the past few decades, besides the few I am aware of, the only other person is Shelton Milton!”
“Chief, are you referring to Shelton Milton, who's known as a genius engineer?”
Karen Milton was slightly taken aback, a glint of hatred flickering in her eyes, “Didn't my father already eliminate him? Could he still be alive?”
“Nobody was on the scene at the time of that incident; who can truly know what happened?”
Zack Milton gave a wry smile, “It's just a pity about your father; in chasing down this traitor, he lost his own life.”
Through their conversation, Greg Jensen came to roughly understand that over ten years ago, there was a genius in the Ancient Clan, Shelton Milton. From a young age, he was adept at all manner of mechanisms and the Young Family's inner methods, and he was heavily groomed.
He was seen as the hope of the entire clan, and both the chief and the elders doted on him, frequently allowing him to descend the mountain to make purchases, which led to his close interactions with the outside world and gradually made him avaricious.
Eventually, he spent months away from the mountain, mingling with major powers and making money.
He even took to various vices, becoming adept at everything from murder to arson. The Young Family's weapons began appearing frequently around the world, causing quite a stir.
Zack Milton issued an order for him to return to the mountain for punishment, but Shelton Milton ignored it, having long cast aside the ancient teachings of the Young Family's Ancient Clan.
Left with no choice, as his mentor, Corey Milton–who was also the father of the two sisters, Karen and Zoey–decided to forcibly bring him back.
As an elder, his strength was naturally superior. In just a few days, Corey Milton subdued Shelton Milton, but tragically, on the way back, they encountered an ambush by major powers, leading to Corey Milton's ultimate demise.
After this incident, Shelton Milton also disappeared without a trace, with no one knowing his whereabouts. Initially, the Ancient Clan thought that this scoundrel was temporarily hiding in another country and would surely show himself eventually.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years passed, during which there was no news of Shelton Milton, and no treasures of the Ancient Tribe's Secret Manual ever surfaced again. It left people suspecting that both the master and his disciple died at someone else's hand during that hunt.
“I really didn't expect this guy to be so patient, lying low for over ten years, hiding in the Liberty Alliance, and he even helped them build the first phase of The Angel of Burning Armor Mecha!”
Zack Milton drank a gulp of wine in frustration, pretty much certain that the emergence of these Mechas was definitely related to Shelton Milton.
Karen Milton nodded seriously, a frown on her face, “Chief, ten years ago Zoey and I were helpless, but today, ten years later, I must personally slay Shelton Milton and avenge my father!”
“That's right! If I don't kill him, I would be letting down my father!” Zoey Milton also clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could go to the Liberty Alliance right now and turn Shelton Milton over.
“Hmm…”
Zack Milton gritted his teeth, then suddenly stood up excitedly and bowed to Greg Jensen, “Lord Dragon King, I must thank you for saving our Ancient Clan from peril! From this day forward, our entire Ancient Clan will put forth all our effort to help you research The Angel of Burning Armor Mecha!”
“There's no need for formalities, Chief Wang, just call me Ouyang.”
Greg Jensen got up and helped him, appearing very straightforward, “In our Dragon King's Palace there's no hierarchy, everyone seated here is a brother or sister, as close as limbs of a body! Any needs for future research, just let me know and I will satisfy them as much as possible!”
What he didn't say was that he was extremely interested in the second phase of The Angel of Burning Armor Mecha. He couldn't even imagine what kind of transformation and evolution it would undergo when it reached a higher level.
Perhaps even they themselves would be unable to explain it?
That night, everyone had quite a bit to drink. The people of the Ancient Clan, unable to hold their liquor and also exhausted from days of travel, all went back to their guest rooms to rest as arranged by Greg Jensen.
Only the key subordinates like Fox, Viper, and Black Wolf remained in the room.
“Lord Dragon King, with the Ancient Clan's joining, our Dragon King's Palace becomes even mightier!
Let's not even talk about how long it will take to build the second phase of The Angel of Burning Armor Mecha.
As long as we can achieve mass production of the first phase, our entire military strength can increase by tens of times!”
Greg Jensen smiled, not dwelling on the topic, but instead took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Fox, instructing, “In just over ten hours, the international conference will begin. You lead the people and set out later, try to arrive early, and gather as much intelligence as possible.
This is the Three-eyed Golden Eagle's communication scroll. If something's not right, you all must immediately fly back with the Golden Eagle, and remember not to linger there for too long!”
“Lord… Do we really need to be that cautious? This time, the Liberty Alliance is facing the judgement of over a hundred countries, could it be they'll just start a fight directly?”
Fox shook his head, thinking the possibility was not great, but he still subconsciously accepted the scroll.
Greg Jensen laughed, “Better safe than sorry.”
After all, during that operation, he had created an illusion for Krautopia and others, making everyone believe that the real scientific research manual was in Phil Donovan's hands.
The Liberty Alliance was always ambitious, always harboring thoughts of global domination; even under the pressure of the international conference, it's possible they would act inappropriately.
