133: Chapter 133: Dumbfounded (Additional update for Alliance Leader ‘Open the Door to Receive the Delivery’) (4th update) 133: Chapter 133: Dumbfounded (Additional update for Alliance Leader ‘Open the Door to Receive the Delivery’) (4th update) Not long after, Su Ming and the others followed Mia to the outside of the school, where a fifty-seat bus was parked.
“Get on the bus,”
Mia said with a simple wave of her hand.
“Teacher, we’re not training inside the school.
Where are we going?”
Su Ming asked, slightly suspicious.
“Cough, cough, why ask so many questions?
You’ll find out when we get there.”
Mia coughed and responded with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Just as Su Ming was about to ask more, Rhein and others, impatient, pushed him onto the bus while saying,
“Class president, don’t ask so much.
Could the teacher really sell us off?”
“Alright.”
Su Ming had no choice but to give up on asking.
Soon, everyone was on the bus, and the vehicle closed its doors and drove away along the road.
….
An hour later.
Starlight City · K District · Black Rock Military Storage Base.
A bus pulled over and stopped nearby.
“We’re here, everyone off!”
Mia urged everyone to get off the bus.
Su Ming and the others walked off the bus, looking around curiously.
During the ride, they had barely seen a few people.
They all wondered if they had arrived at the outskirts of Starlight City.
“Where are we?”
Zhang Yi and others asked confusedly.
“You, you guys, look over there.”
At that moment, Angel, panicked, pointed forward and shouted.
Su Ming and the others were startled and looked in the direction Angel pointed.
About four hundred meters ahead, a massive storage base sat, with huge cubic crystal buildings, each reaching a hundred meters tall.
In front of the base’s gate were ten Second Generation Mecha·Iron Guards standing,
“Isn’t this the Black Rock Storage Base?
One of Starlight City’s important storage facilities?
What are we doing here?
We might get caught as criminals, you know.”
Rhein immediately realized the situation and said in shock.
At that moment, all the students were in an uproar.
Su Ming’s mouth twitched.
He should have known; if Teacher Mia was reliable, the sky would have fallen.
“What are you shouting for?
Don’t you see I’m still here?
What’s there to be afraid of?”
Mia spoke nonchalantly to Su Ming and the others.
The group immediately fell silent.
“Sigh, Teacher, you’re not thinking of letting us train inside, are you?
This is a military storage base.
Are they even going to let us in?”
Su Ming sighed.
“Why not?
Just wait here,”
Mia then headed alone towards the entrance of the Black Rock Storage Base.
Su Ming and the others watched nervously, only to find that Mia reached the gate, negotiated with the guards, and actually went in.
“The teacher went in!”
“There’s hope.”
…
Rhein and the others said joyfully.
At that moment, inside the Black Rock Storage Base · Command Room.
A middle-aged man wearing a major’s military uniform, with a pair of small mustaches and rough, dark skin, lounged in his chair, sipping on his drink and holding a handful of peanuts.
“Huhuh~”
He hummed a tune and leisurely tossed a peanut into his mouth, his face revealing pure enjoyment.
Just then, an urgent set of footsteps approached, followed by the door being slammed open, and a slender man in a Captain’s uniform, looking utterly terrified, shouted,
“This is bad, Lord Morgan!”
Startled, Major Morgan almost jumped out of his skin and accidentally dropped the peanuts from his hand onto the floor.
He hastily got up from his chair, bent down to pick up the fallen peanuts, quickly blew on them, and ate them.
After finishing, Morgan lifted his head and angrily glared at his aide, spraying out his words,
“Akusu, what are you blathering about, ‘bad’?
This is a storage base; nothing has gone wrong here for hundreds of years.
What could possibly be wrong?”
“Mo-Morgan, sir, it’s…
someone is here…”
Akusu was so nervous he couldn’t speak clearly.
“Damn it, what’s the stutter for, who’s here?
Who could scare you like this?
Could it be you’ve seen a ghost?”
Morgan cussed him out in irritation.
Akusu was speechless and in his desperation, he said to Morgan.
“Sir, why don’t you go out and see for yourself!”
“Pfft, even if a superior came, what about it?
I want to see which high and mighty person has arrived.”
Morgan snorted and strode towards the door.
But as he stepped out, he ran straight into Mia.
“Hey!
Morgan, long time no see.”
Mia greeted Morgan with a smile.
When Morgan saw Mia, his knees went weak and he instantly kneeled before her, stuttering.
“Mia, Mia my lord.”
“Oh, Morgan, what are you doing?
I’m not your mother.
You don’t have to be so formal!
Or are you feeling guilty?
Are you up to no good?”
Mia asked him jokingly.
“Not at all.”
Morgan struggled to his feet, responding flusteredly.
“Really?
You’ve been drinking.
Haven’t changed a bit, have you!”
Mia leaned in close to Morgan, sniffing him, with a mischievous smile on her face.
Morgan was jolted and quickly explained to Mia.
“I’m on a day off today, Akusu can vouch for me.”
Akusu, nearby, nodded his head like a pecking chicken.
“Okay, no need to explain.
How about a drink?”
Mia asked with a smile.
“No, really no more, I was just having insomnia and had a little sip!
Mia my lord, is there any particular reason you’re visiting us today?”
Morgan promptly changed the subject, not daring to drink with Mia.
“Such a killjoy.
But I’m actually here to ask you for a favor.”
Mia said with a disappointed look.
“You name it.
If it’s within our power, we won’t refuse.”
Morgan quickly asked, eager to help and send Mia on her way, hoping that would be the end of it.
“Your Defensive Mechas here are pretty good.
Could I borrow one for my student to practice with?”
Mia asked cheerfully.
“Eh?”
Morgan was immediately dumbfounded.
Was she asking to borrow a mecha for a student’s practice?
“Is there a problem?”
Mia continued to ask with a smile.
Morgan shook his head like a rattle drum and immediately replied.
“No problem at all.
Akusu will take care of it.”
“Okay, okay…”
Akusu responded nervously.
“Right, there’s one more thing.”
Mia continued to speak.
Morgan’s heart suddenly clenched, and he pleaded with a bitter smile.
“Mia my lord, I’m just a storage keeper, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
“What’s the rush, I won’t eat you.
I just want to borrow your mecha as well.”
Mia said, pushing her luck.
“Eh?
My mecha?”
Upon hearing this, Morgan’s eyes widened.
“Is that not okay?”
Mia saw Morgan’s reluctance and immediately asked with a smile.
Morgan, looking at Mia’s radiant smile, felt his legs uncontrollably shaking as he quickly said.
“Okay, why not!”
“Great, it’s settled then, let’s go!”
Mia finalized the matter and then turned her head to look at Akusu.
Akusu, with a sour face, followed Mia out.
