Ace Of Terrans

The lady was impressed by his composure and asked, “Why do you seek audience with the council of Xena?”

She did not waste time asking stupid and obvious questions, like, why was Shi Lang in this building and how did he get there. The queen was smart enough to deduce things and since the person, who sneaked inside the headquarters of the council had such a calm temperament and was able to speak his purpose in front of her. It meant that he was here on an urgent basis.

Shi Lang replied, “It is about the administrator of the outlanders.”

The lady in the white frowned and said, “Why should I believe you, after all, you are an outlander yourself.”

Her caution was called for, after all, their race was suffering in such a manner because of the outlanders. She would not trust the person completely. She thought that Shi Lang came here to give her some tip, to stop rallying the people against the administrator or something, however, she was shocked when she heard his next words.

“I have been tasked to assassinate the administrator.” his tone was still calm. He was not worried about the lady in front of him snitching him out. In the data given to him regarding the mission, this lady was marked in bolds and italics. She was the youngest empress of the cat-men and she was also the one, who almost got raped by the administrator.

Shi Lang, who thought of himself as an unfortunate person was now feeling very fortunate. The entire planet might not support him in killing the administrator, but this lady surely will. She was called, Xenon, the empress of the youngest empire on this planet. She was the most beautiful of the ten empresses.

Xenon was a stubborn and grudgeful lady. She was wise, but if someone made her suffer the slightest of injustice, then she will make them pay the appropriate price. The administrator was someone she hated with a passion. She had been rallying fellow victims against him and she intended to kill him.

Hearing what Shi Lang said, she chuckled and said, “Why shall I believe you?”

Shi Lang replied, “It is your choice, whether to believe me or not, your majesty. However, I have no reason to lie to you. The government of my homeland has deemed this person as a scourge and threat to the peace we had established between the two worlds. So, whether you help me or not, I will go forward with the task assigned to me.”

His words were paced calmly and he gave off an adamant aura. Xenon nodded and said, “Let us have a closed discussion, Mister Ace.”

Shi Lang had no problem and nodded to her. Just before Xenon could speak, the door was knocked on. She said, “You shall wait in the washroom.”

Shi Lang complied and walked inside the washroom. Xenon walked to the door and allowed Samara to place the food trolley inside, and then she asked her to guard outside and not to step inside until she called for her.

After Samara left, Xenon called the boy out of the washroom. She sat down on the couch and said, “What do you need from us? You are an outlander, can you not kill the administrator better? Or do you think that we will be fools to lend you a hand and when the things are discovered, your forces will slaughter our people under the tag of vengeance?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Your majesty, I only need you to lure the guy out of the Terran Command Outpost. That place is made in a way where abilities will not be able to help much. The administrator has a strong one level above me and what I seek is his accidental death. My mission is to kill that guy and not to deepen the rift between the two parties, more than it already is.”

Xenon nodded and asked, “So, how do you plan to do this? Do you think luring that turtle will be easy? He hides inside that command outpost to protect himself from our rage. Otherwise, he would have long died.” the hatred in her voice could not be described in words.

Shi Lang said, “What you said is true. He is a turtle, however, when you flip the creature on its back, things become easy.” his voice was calm.

Xenon raised her willow-like eyebrow and said, “Indeed, but to flip that turtle we would need to take him by surprise. How will you do that?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I beg your pardon, your majesty, but you are the key to flipping the turtle.”

Xenon glared at him, Shi Lang looked unaffected on the surface but if this lady went berserk at this point, then even his corpse might not make it out of here. He continued, “Your Majesty, you have seen what is the weakness of that guy and what can flip him completely. I am not saying that you will have to do something demeaning. I only need your help to call that guy outside the command outpost.”

Xenon raised her eyebrow and asked, “What do you plan to do? Only when I know the ins and outs will I lend my help to you, outlander.”

Shi Lang nodded and began to tell her what he had in mind, an hour passed for the two people to collude in the conspiracy. Xenon was impressed by this young boy in front of him. Do not judge the lady with the title of the youngest in the crown club. She was in her early thirties. She said, “Very well, Young Outlander, I will help you in this. However, none of my people should be inflicted. Otherwise, even if we go down, we will go down fighting. Do you understand?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Your Majesty, rest assured, the plan will not fail. Also, you will receive your share of reward on your contribution.”

…

NOTE: Shi Lang is not wearing a mask, because he is supposed to complete this task without being spotted, and secret division troops are always standing out so he is playing this one like a normal solider and avoid limelight.
