Ace Of Terrans

Darcx asked, “Why did he not assassinate you then? There are a lot of ways to kill someone without them finding out about it.”

His words made Nexalia sigh and said, “The ruler must be a female, Ever since our mother took the throne the people supported her and it became a trend. Abbey was the first choice of the new ruler, but he was rejected by the people.”

Amelia asked, “Why?”

Nexalia shrugged her shoulder and said, “I really have no idea.”

Jenkins spoke up, “Mutual discord is fine, but you two people are vying for the strength might have helped someone else. It could be a third party who is pulling all the strings from the background.”

Expect for Nexalia everyone was nodding. The queen was left in a stupor, she could not believe how these people were coming up with the possibilities so quickly. She asked, “I have a list of suspects who could be behind this.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Your Majesty, if you do not mind, I would like you to provide us with all the details. We will try our best to get things sorted for you. We will be needing some resources and tech support.”

Nexalia nodded and said, “I will leave Ameris to help you, and she will also take you to a place where you can work without any trouble. I only need results.”

Shi Lang nodded and Rosa asked, “I would like to ask you a few questions, Your Majesty.”

Nexalia nodded and said, “Please tell me.”

Rosa asked her, “Do you not have an investigation department in your empire?”

“We do have an investigation department in the empire, however, just like I stated before, I could not trust them completely. The vice president of the Intelligence department happens to be Abbey’s brother-in-law,” said Nexalia.

Rosa nodded and said, “We would like to first take control of the intelligence department. Their resources will come in handy, also I would like to ask you if we can use the cold knives, or do we have to be subtle with the approach?”

Nexalia nodded and said, “It would be better if you can keep things clean, however, if you have conclusive evidence, then I allow you to publish in front of the people of the empire and kill the targets.”

The people nodded and Shi Lang said, “Let us move, we have a lot of work to do.”

Nexalia nodded and after greeting them she allowed them to go back to their rooms. It was decided that they will leave the palace tomorrow and they will be staying in a secret location. Nexalia will tell the world that the Terran team is out for a tour and sightsee.

The excuse was sound, after all, the team will be moving around to explore and investigate. However, before they dived deep into this quagmire, they had a few things to confirm.

Firstly, they needed to know that what the Queen just said was true, that she needed help. Second, how guilty is Minister Abbey. Third, is Ameris worthy of their trust during the investigation? Fourth, if this was not all true, Terrans decided to plan backup strategies to keep themselves safe just in case.

The team retired to their rooms and gathered with the help of the nanobot rings. Shi Lang asked, “What do you think about the situation?”

Darcx said, “Captain, I would like to tell you that whatever she said, is most likely to be true.”

Rosa asked, “Reason.”

“It is my ability to detect if the person is lying or speaking the truth. I can tell you that seventy-five percent of the things she said were true. However, the part where she said that the throne must belong to a female, that was undetectable.” stated the guy.

Jenkins said, “Hmmm, Quinn is it possible to get this matter confirmed by the president? However, this method must be untraceable. To prevent these guys from tampering.”

Quinn replied, “Umm, my ability is possession. I can control the Palace Guard and use their body to get to the ship and use the special frequency to communicate with my father. However, you will be needed to guard my body. I would like to ask, Instructor rosa and Amelia to do it. The captain can also guard me but none of you two perverts are supposed to get near me.”

Darcx said, “Tch, stingy.”

Shi Lang said, “Very well, Amy, you will protect Quinn. Instructor Rosa will be your partner.”

The ladies nodded and they moved to Quinn’s room, they will make it look natural. Shi Lang cast a gaze on Zyesha and said, “It is time we go to work, Zyesha.”

The tigress raised her head and replied in his mind, “I would like to have the invisibility suit as well.”

Shi Lang chuckled and said, “You will not like the style. Come.”

It was night when Shi Lang opened the door of his room. Ameris had changed the palace guards in front of their rooms, every twelve hours. The young man came out of his room and the lady saluted him, she asked, “Anything I can help you with?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “I would like to go to our spaceship. I need to give Zyesha her medicine. Would you please arrange for transportation?”

The palace guard was surprised, they were told not to let these Terrans out of the palace. She said, “Sir if you would be so kind to let me inform my superior.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “I will inform Amelia that I am going out for a bit in the meantime.”

The guard nodded and contacted her superior, Ameris, who in turn asked the permission of Her Majesty The Queen. Nexalia did not think much but told the guard to follow the protocols, which meant keeping an eye on him.

Shi Lang walked up to the room where Amelia and Quinn were, and under the gaze of the guard outside, he knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the door was opened. Shi Lang smiled and said, “I will go back to the ship, do you have anything you need from there?”

Amelia shook her head and with a faint smile she said, “Just be back soon.”

Shi Lang quickly leaned in and pecked her nose before leaving her standing there in a stupor. Amelia quickly closed the door after a second. The palace guard responsible for Shi Lang walked over and said, “Sir, we can go now.”

The boy nodded and said, “Thank you, and sorry to make your job harder.”

The palace guard shook her head and was about to say something when her eyes rolled for a second. Shi Lang asked, “Do we go back to from the main entrance as well?”

The guard regained her senses and nodded. Then she turned around and led the young man with her. A levitating carriage was already ready for them. A steward helped them with the door, and Shi Lang asked the palace guard to get up first.

He followed in and the steward took the seat of the coachman. The palace guard made a few signs with her hand, ‘I am in Captain.’

Shi Lang replied with the signs, ‘I can tell. Also, do not mind but can you tell me how your ability works?’

Quinn nodded slightly and made hand signs again, ‘As long as I have seen the person once, I can possess them for ten hours. Just now, Amelia had the communicator display the images she saw outside.’

Shi Lang nodded and said, ‘My fiancee is so smart.’

Quinn only rolled her eyes at him. Zyesha sitting in the carriage said, “Lang, the coachman is not ordinary.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “He is physically stronger than all of us combined.”

Zyesha shook her head gently and said, “His brian is even more terrifying. I can tell that he has been paying attention to every sound that our movement makes.”

Shi Lang raised her eyebrow and asked, “How long before we can reach the spaceport, Sir?”

The coachman replied, “Please call me Steward Hash, I am not a sir. Shusha Ace, we will be arriving in a few minutes.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Steward Hash.”

The boy communicated with the tigress and said, “Indeed, his mannerism itself tells that he is not a simple guy. I wonder if he is on the camp of the minister.”
