Chapter 961: Maple 5 (3)
She stood quietly at the door, her deep, sharp eyes slowly scanning the surroundings. The restaurant, ravaged beyond recognition by violence, was in a state of disarray, with mottled walls, broken tables and chairs, and a devastating mess.
Finally, her eyes fell on him.
"I see that you are trying hard to live." Her voice was calm, but it hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him tremble slightly.
This time, she took him back to her place.
When the shuttle slowly pulled into the berth and the airtight door slid open silently, the layout of the house that came into view was enough to shock him.
Under his feet was a transparent super-solidified alloy floor, as if the people in the room were standing on clouds.
Through it, he could clearly see the panoramic view of the slowly rotating planet below.
The outline of the continents, the waves of the ocean, the movement of the clouds, everything is within her sight. Standing here, she feels like she is standing on top of the world, overlooking everything on the planet.
The room was clean and quiet, the air filtered through multiple layers of fine filters, refreshing and pleasant, with a hint of cool fragrance. The temperature and humidity could be adjusted at any time to suit her preferences, always maintaining the most comfortable state for her.
Later, after spending some time together, he finally learned that she was actually the strategic chief of staff of Planet X. With her identity, even the king of the planet had to give her some face.
She asked him to be her follower, and all he had to do was follow her around and make his presence felt.
From then on, he realized that whether a person can be a subordinate or a superior is just a matter of one thought.
Although the identity of a follower may not sound very impressive, it actually has a special meaning.
She has always been a loner, with a cold personality and almost no emotions that people should have, so there are rarely other people around her. But he became the only one who often appeared by her side and followed her.
Those military officers, wealthy people, and even princes who wanted to make friends with Xing Rong began to show their goodwill to him and gave him a lot of benefits, just to get him to say a few good words for them in front of Xing Rong.
He used to be so humble, trampled under the feet of those in power and regarded as rotten dirt.
But now, because of Xing Rong, he has suddenly become the object of these people's flattery, which makes him unable to help but secretly mock them. They are really a group of snobbish people.
He didn't understand why Xing Rong, a woman, could make these people want to curry favor with her so much.
But as time went on, he gradually discovered that the important decisions on the planet were all based on the best ways of handling them proposed by her.
No matter how difficult the problem is, it can be solved perfectly as long as she is there.
Only then did he truly realize Xing Rong's strength. She was indeed a truly powerful strategic general staff officer.
After he truly witnessed her strength, he openly accepted the gift, as if he was not afraid at all that she would hold it against him.
In fact, she really didn't care about him at all, nor did she scold him.
Many years had passed, and he had truly witnessed how she had devised strategies and successfully saved the attacked Planet X from danger; how she had foiled the nobles and officers who had attempted a rebellion and had them imprisoned; and how she had solved the thorny problem of the planet's energy shortage, bringing new hope for Planet X's continued survival.
One day, he couldn't contain his curiosity and asked her, "You are so powerful, why don't you just take the king's place?"
Hearing this, her eyes remained calm, as if the identity of a king held no appeal to her at all. She simply replied calmly, "A king is the only person who cannot truly do as he pleases."
At that time, he didn't quite understand this sentence, and it was really difficult for him to understand. The king of a planet, who possessed the highest power and status on a planet, could not only cover the sky with one hand, but also make everyone obey and crawl at her feet. Isn't such a status free enough?
