夜色老司机极品盛宴

Chapter 240 - New Start

One month later.

"VICTORY TO THE EMPIRE!"

"VICTORY TO THE EMPIRE!!!" everyone chanted as they all gathered to celebrate.

Jiang Ce smiled as he watched the grand celebration from above. "These are the only Hoobite Rocks left after the Hoobite Planet exploded." He said. "Their mineral composition can be used to attack the Zergs. We will take some of them for our samples. Let\'s try to recreate these rocks to achieve another victory for the empire, and end the Zergs!" he told them.

"Yes!" Jiang Ce\'s students answered.

Jiang Ce smiled in satisfaction after he felt their enthusiasm.. One month ago, the Alliance lost to the empire and their leaders were imprisoned. The Alliance split up after they lost their leaders and scattered all over the galaxy. Marquis Jin and Su Rong were punished by death, and the Alliance Head and the other Alliance leaders were imprisoned for a lifetime. The Alliance Head can\'t bear the pain of losing his son, and so he committed suicide.

Not long after that and the Hoobite Planet exploded. They do not know the cause, and they were given no chance to investigate as the Hoobite Planet were already reduced to pieces. They thought it must me the Hoobite Rocks that caused the explosion. Baron Cloud and the Gav family who heard this surrendered the Hoobite Rocks in their possession because of fear it was them next who\'ll die. The Bertram family and the Lix family sold the Hoobite Rocks that they purchased to the empire.

Jiang Ce was over the moon. They have more of the samples now to use! They immediately started a new project.

Kale and Sam were busy receiving guests. Kale was saddened that the empress dowager also colluded with Marquis Jin, but that put an end to their mother-and-son relationship. Rayver Quinn must have known about this, as he had long ended his relationship with the empress dowager.

Speaking of Rayver Quinn, he was silently watching the banquet, but actually, his gaze has only been on one person. After he had watched him enough, he left.

"Eh?! General Quinn?!" the people who tried to talk with him was shocked by his sudden departure. "What happened…?" they were bewildered.

Rayver Quinn\'s subordinates knew what happened. Huo Jinghua and Mary Jackson were talking in one corner, and Rayver Quinn couldn\'t stand the sight anymore. They wanted to follow their brokenhearted general, but Rayver Quinn rejected them. He\'s gonna nurse his heart alone again. They all looked at each other.

"Won\'t you follow him?" Mary Jackson asked when she saw Rayver Quinn left. "Go." She told him before she pushed him.

Huo Jinghua looked at her before he smiled and then hurriedly left. "You\'ve finally decided, huh." Harry Walter said as he appeared behind Mary Jackson.

"Where\'s my brother?" she asked back.

Harry Walter\'s expression changed to a frown. "Went back to his laboratory again." He answered with a helpless tone.

Mary Jackson laughed. She raised her hand and covered her lips as she laughed. Harry Walter looked at her and smiled when he saw there was no ring on her finger.

"Cui… Ah Cui!" Huo Jinghua called as he ran after Rayver Quinn. "Wait!" he called. However, Rayver Quinn didn\'t stop and headed to the maze garden to avoid him. Huo Jinghua frowned as he followed him. When he entered the maze garden, he didn\'t see the other\'s figure. His face darkened as he walked forward. "Bastard." He spat and clenched his fists. "If you won\'t come out, I\'ll kill myself!" he said and pulled his gun, then pointed it at his head.

However, before he could pull the trigger, a strong hand grabbed his hand and disarmed him. The gun fell on the ground, at the same time Huo Jinghua\'s tears fell. "Don\'t…" Rayver Quinn spoke with a hoarse voice as he wiped off Huo Jinghua\'s tears.

"\'don\'t what? Don\'t kill myself? Don\'t look for you? Don\'t cry?" Huo Jinghua asked. "Rayver!" he finally called him in his real name because of anger.

Rayver Quinn pressed his lips on a thin line.

Huo Jinghua bitterly laughed. "Who do you think I\'m doing this for?!" he asked, mad, and then pushed Rayver Quinn away.

Rayver Quinn almost tumbled but he let Huo Jinghua. "Why are you giving me mixed signals?" he asked. "Why are you making me think I should hope? Why… don\'t make me expect something. Don\'t make me misunderstand. Jinghua…" he called as he raised his head to look at the crying Huo Jinghua. "I – " he was about to tell Huo Jinghua he\'s going to give up when Huo Jinghua raised his hand to wipe his tears.

Rayver Quinn\'s pupils shrank when he saw the absence of a ring on Huo Jinghua\'s finger.

Huo Jinghua scoffed when he saw the stunned expression on Rayver Quinn\'s face. "And you call yourself a general? You can\'t even see I\'m not wearing a ring anymore. You\'re so blind – mmmh!" he exclaimed and his eyes widened when Rayver Quinn kissed him fiercely.

Oh, my god! He\'s really a domineering man! Such a deep kiss, I\'m about to lose my breath! Huo Jinghua thought. His heart is beating wildly. However, even if he\'d faint from losing air, he still kissed Rayver Quinn back.

"I\'m not blind – " Rayver Quinn said as they both heavily panted after their kiss. "I\'m not blind… or else, how can I fall for you?" he asked as his thumb brushed the reddened and swollen lips of Huo Jinghua. He fondly gazed at Huo Jinghua\'s flushed cheeks. "I\'m not blind… Jinghua… Jinghua!" he called before he leaned down his head and kissed Huo Jinghua again.

Huo Jinghua\'s chuckle was trapped in between their lips. Fine, you\'re not blind then. Just dumb. He thought before he wrapped his arms around Rayver Quinn\'s neck and kissed him back.

Gerard Jackson sighed when they saw Rayver Quinn and Huo Jinghua were kissing in the hidden garden. "Mary, ah… she\'s really unfortunate when it comes to marriage." He lamented for his ex-wife.

Lewis Johnson just faintly smiled. She\'s not unfortunate with marriage, just that unfortunate with men. He thought and glanced at Gerard Jackson – the first husband of Mary Jackson, but in name only.

"I feel like this is my fault." Gerard Jackson said. "How do you think I can help her?" he asked.

"Just let the fate decide what\'s the best for her." Lewis Johnson answered.

"Huh?"

"\'third time\'s a charm\', as they say. I believe – " Lewis Johnson said and watched Mary Jackson from afar be approached. " – she will finally succeed this third time." He said when he saw it was the female bodyguard Harry Walter assigned for Jiang Ce.

The female bodyguard was in low spirits when she saw Mary Jackson. Her face lit up and she walked towards her. Mary Jackson\'s complexion turned better when she saw an acquaintance.

If men won\'t do, then how about women?

Normal World.

"Ugh…" Di San, Feng Er and Liu Lin grunted in pain when they suddenly hit the ground. Si Shui was lying on the ground, face down and unmoving.

"Is he dead?" Liu Lin asked when he saw the poor child.

"What do you think?" Di San sarcastically asked back as he helped Feng Er up.

Liu Lin shut up and helped the poor child up from the ground. "Where do you think are we?" he asked and looked around the dark alley they fell into.

"No spiritual energies, no monsters or any magical creatures… good. This is a Normal World." Di San sighed in relief. "We can rest for a while here. There must be no Soul Fragments here." He said as they looked around before walking out of the alley to look for an inn.

When they finally subdued the Soul Fragment, they all depleted their energy. But it was worth it. They immediately called Yi Bing to take the Soul Fragment from Huo Ling. However, they didn\'t expect for the Soul Fragment to do a final struggle and exploded the entire planet. Worse, it summoned the Soul Fragment that Yi Bing extracted from Huo Ling, making it more powerful, and the explosion became stronger.

Di San opened a portal immediately to transfer them all out of this world. He is afraid that if the Soul Fragment continues, it\'d destroy the whole world. And so, to protect the world, he brought it with them. Because of the Soul Fragments that combined, the space that\'s already unstable became more unstable and sent them to a random world.

The Soul Fragment, after it was exhausted, finally cooled down and hibernated.

"Where\'s Yi Bing and Huo Ling?" Di San asked.

"Didn\'t see them. Maybe they got separated from us and were sent to another world?" Liu Lin asked.

"Or maybe they were safe and proceeded to the next world Huo Ling would reincarnate…" Feng Er said when her voice died down after they saw a familiar figure running towards them. "Am I going blind?" she asked.

"If you are, then we are, too." Liu Lin spoke as they watched the figure slowly neared them.

"Out of the way! Wait, no. Duck!" he told them and pushed them down just a second earlier the bullets swooshed past them. "Damn it! All of you, hide! Quick!" he told them before he ran to a different direction and disappeared.

"That was – " they all sucked in a cold breath and immediately hid when they were being shot, too. " – Huo Ling! Why is he here?! And what is he wearing… a black suit?!" they exclaimed. With the current events, something dawned on them. They all looked at each other with widened eyes. " – mafia?!?!"
