Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang shivered when the voice passed through his ears. He exerted his strength on the iron rope tied to the bar of the holding cell and yanked it towards himself. Hunk also joined his struggle and together they were able to bend the bar slightly. The old man inside the cell senses their determination and punched the bar where the iron rope was tied.

The power of the punch was so strong that just catching a glimpse of the movement raised red flags for the two soldiers outside. Shi Lang kicked Hunk on his waist and the two people moved away from the trajectory of the incoming punch.

TONG!!!

The impact of the punch was so strong that the door of the holding cell began to vibrate from it. The vibration produced some high-frequency sounds that made Shi Lang and Hunk slightly dizzy. But they could still see an old man climbing out from the space left from the deformation of the bar.

The strong voice sounded again, “Who?” this time the person did not get the chance to say anything more when the old man interrupted him in a cold sonorous voice, “Your Father, I regret the day you were born, Alkaid Duke. You harbinger of the Duke family.” with that said, the old man rushed to the outside of the holding area.

Shi Lang gazed at Hunk, who nodded, to confirm his suspicion. The prime target and the ‘must kill’ person of their mission, Alkaid Duke has shown up. Shi Lang did not have the time to meddle with the pair of father and son, he quickly came back to the cell where Lullaby and Tian were, he found that Sharpnel was tinkering with the motion-sensing shackles tied to Lullaby’s feet.

Click!

The shackle was undone and Sharpnel said, “They can move, but Captain, we might need to carry Lullaby, her nerves are a bit too sensitive at the moment.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Hunk, carry them both and moved to the rendezvous point.”

Hunk nodded and easily lifted up Lullaby from the ground, they did not have any shyness persisting between them, as soldiers, they were aware that the situation was critical and as injuries the lady was, she will only delay the mission and become a burden on the team. However, that was not the case with Tian.

She said, “Captain, my ability will come in handy. Please let me stay.”

Shi Lang asked, “Give me an explanation.” that was all. He was asking her why she thought that her ability might come in handy.

Tian nodded and said, “My ability allows me to take control of the I wish for five seconds. I can control all the movements and even the speech of a person. If you allow me to use this ability on Alkaid Duke, then this battle shall wrap up immediately.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people heard loud banging sounds coming from the outside of the holding cell. Shi lang was aware that he did not have the luxury to consider all aspects of the fight and said, “Very well, you will follow behind Sharpnel, and will not engage in frontal combat. Is that clear?”

Tian nodded and said, “Yes, Sir.”

Shi Lang cast a gaze on Hunk and said, “Take Lullaby with you and ask Carole to clear up the loose fish. Time to close in the net. Let us go, we need to deal with that old man and his son.”

Hunk nodded and left the place with Lullaby in his arms. Given his super strength he did not have to worry about fatigue or anything, Lullaby in his arms was nothing more than an overgrown flower. The two rushed away, ShI lang asked Tian again, “Are you sure you can take further pressure?”

Tian nodded and assured him that she can. Shi Lang and Sharpnel took the lead to get out of the holding area with Tian in tow. As they reached the doors, they could hear the bangs and the booms coming from the surroundings.

Sharpnel said, “This is the level of a seven-star Terran. ” his voice contained a hint of awe and respect, after all, the strong were to be respected.

Shi lang had never seen the extent of strength as a seven-star Terran fought, this was like the door of a new world to him. The way the Terrans were moving so fast that they almost disappeared from the eyes and if not for the water drops from the rain were being pushed away.

The youngster could not help but compare this strength level to the levels of cultivation from his past life, he sighed and mumbled, “Spirit formation.”

However, no one among the two of his companions was paying attention to his words. They were looking at the fight in front of them. The two people were fighting with no concern for safety. After all, they both were aware that their plans have reached a dead end. Suddenly, a figure flew across the scene and crashed hard on the debris scattered around.

Tian was the first one to recognize the person, she said in a low voice, “Alkaid Duke.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Calm your anger, take action when you find a good chance.”

Tian nodded. She understood that anger will do them no good, sometimes in eagerness to kill someone you might die before the other person. Sharpnel said, “How shameful. A dignified Seven-star Terran getting into such a mess and even inflicting a guaranteed death sentence by harming the secret forces.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Do not think too much about these guys. As you said, they inflicted this upon themselves.”

While Shi Lang and the two were watching the fight from the side, the old man walked over to his son slowly as he spoke, “Your greed for power made you so narrow-minded that you did not even count the decline of your own family.”

Alkaid Duke was hurt but he still had the power to talk back, and he said, “Who do you think made me like this, it was your teachings. Your pride made me greedy, if not for all the rules you imposed on me, do you think I would have been limited to this place? There is no war, no battle. I spent my whole life outside walking through corpses, yet you called me back. Why? Why did you restrict me?”

Shi Lang has read the data, it said that Alkaid Duke was a budding general at the frontier and he was renowned for his skills. His commanding ability was good enough to make him a fleet general, however, all of a sudden, his father, the retired fleet general called him back. According to the intel gathered by the secret divisions, Alkaid Duke was asked to train the younger generation of the family to grow up like him.

Following the assessment of the analysts of the investigation division, Alkaid seemed to have developed the idea of creating his own power under the impression that he was very strong. His delusional state led him to rebel. However, he conveniently pushed the blame on his father.

The old man said, “I constricted you? Do you think I am not aware of your battle lust? Do you think that the analysts at the front will not see through your concealed actions to entice trouble with the natives of a warring planet? You shamed me, that was the reason I called you back. You shamed the name of my family, that was why I called you back. Yet you imprisoned me inside my house. You dared to provoke those who watch over the order of the military forces. You are just a degenerate.”

While he was talking he was already closer to Alkaid, the old man was among the taller people in the Terran race. His lanky body cast a towering physique on Alkaid Duke. He raised his arm to punch down at the head of the latter when suddenly, Alkaid Duke fished out a phasor gun from a holster behind his back.

He was about to aim at the old man and take a shot when his body froze. Tian had made her move, her body lost control and was about to fall to the ground when Sharpnel caught her, the old man saw his son aiming a gun at him, the rage in his heart exploded like a volcano and his fist fell down.

Just as the fist distorted Alkaid’s head from the pressure alone, Tian woke up. Her face was pale, she did not look good. Shi Lang did not ask her what happened, he was smart enough to understand that it was the backlash of her ability. On the other hand, a loud boom indicated the end of Alkaid Duke.

His head exploded like a ripe watermelon. Shi Lang looked at the old man. He held his handgun and walked over. The old man was aware of this, and said, “Before you make me rest, can I, at least, give my family a proper funeral. They might have committed a crime of rebellion but it was not out of a free will. The Duke Family itself is an army and the family members were bred like soldiers from birth, they would have followed all and every instruction of the leader without hesitation.

This is all due to us the old people imposing prideful ways on the young. I apologize to the federation on behalf of my family.”

Shi Lang heard his words and said, “You can arrange for a mass funeral. I hope you understand that the time on our hands is short. If I do not report the completion of the mission soon, then the secret divisions will mobilize and hunt down everyone related to your duke family.”

With that said, the old man began to arrange for a funeral of his family, he dug pits and buried them all personally, and he shed tears under the red rain. Tears of regret and remorse, but this world did not have a medicine of that.
