Chapter 62 Investigation
Zen was on his way to meet up with his family's troops, which were stationed near the Twilight Zone.
After twenty minutes had passed, he eventually arrived and safely landed his ship onto an expansive destroyer type of ship classified as S-tier, boasting an impressive length of approximately three thousand meters.
When he arrived, all the troops present were surprised by his sudden appearance, but they quickly came back to their senses.
As they had grown accustomed to his frequent disappearances and sudden reappearances, their intrigue was piqued by the presence of the girl who was following behind him.
"Hey, did the young master find himself a girlfriend?"
"I think so, she looks like a doll and is quite cute."
Discussions among them can be heard as they curiously scrutinize Xue.
When she first met Zen back on the Outland continent, she was besmirched with filth, her clothes were worn down, and her clothes had all types of rips.
But after cleaning herself up, surprisingly, she was quite cute, and a beauty at that. Be that as it may, though, she still could not compare to Fiona and Celestia.
Who knows? Maybe in the near future, once she's all grown up, she might be able to, no one knows what the future holds.
They both entered a room that had been prepared for them, and Fiona, Daphne, and Celestia were all inside as well.
All three of them were having a conversation, trying to figure out the identity of the girl who was accompanying Zen. Since they did not have to think time about it back then because of the outbreak.
Their conversation was interrupted when both Zen and Xue opened the door and entered, Fiona hurriedly stood up when she saw Zen, grabbed him by his arm, and glared at Xue like she was protecting her food.
Seeing this, Xue chuckled a bit and said, "Young lady, don't be too wary; I am just young master Zen's follower, nothing else."
Zen spoke up, also asking Fiona. "So how are mother and father? Are they... still breathing?"
"Hey... Don't talk like that!" Fiona responded, "Anyway, they have left Pontiac Planet and have gone somewhere; I do not know where, that is just what I was told."
Zen thought about it for a moment, but in the end, he could not figure it out.
He found an empty seat and sat down, however, as he sat down, he had an enlightenment.
'They might have gone to the main family. It might have something to do with the unknown enemy lurking in the galaxy. Well, I do not have to worry about that for now.'
Zen exchanged greetings with all the girls in the room and told them all about his adventures so far. Of course, he hid some parts that could not be discussed and that only he should know about.
The three girls also talked to Xue and asked her about her story.
"You girls talk; I have something to do." Zen informed them.
They all nodded in agreement, but all the girls watched him as he walked and were curious what he was about to do since he might do something unexpected.
To their disappointment, Zen just stood up, walked to a corner of the room, and took out his phone to call someone.
So all four girls reverted their gazes towards him and just continued talking.
After he finished his call. Zen returned back to his seat and joined their conversation.
A loud 'growl' was heard in the room while they were all conversing. They all looked at Daphne and laughed. She ended up covering her face with her hands in embarrassment.
Of course, she did not care in the past even if this happened, but Zen was currently among them, the guy she liked, so she was very embarrassed about it.
"Ok, let's go eat then; since someone is hungry, you girls might also be tired from running all day from the Twilight Zone."
All of them agreed, and they stood up and started heading towards the exit.
The door suddenly opened by itself, and Marie's figure entered their vision.
Fiona saw Marie and questioned her: "What's wrong, Marie? Why are you here?"
"Young Master Zen called me here as he seems to have an order for me to do."
Celestia looked at Zen curiously and thought, 'This guy should be planning another thing that would shock the continent again.' Thinking of this, she chuckled slightly thinking Zen was full of surprises.
It was at this moment that she started to get interested in him, like she wanted to know about all his secrets.
Zen was full of mystery, which attracted her.
"You guys go out first; I have something to discuss with Marie." Zen spoke up and instructed the four girls to go ahead and eat without him.
They followed what he said and exited the room.
"What are you order's young master?" Marie asked as she looked straight at him, trying to attentively listen to what he was about to say.
"How is our family's intelligence network?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I want you to instruct our intelligence network to find out about Warden's action these past weeks and find out what he has been up to, he is also affiliated with the Doom Order organization."
"I'll need a detailed report on it as soon as possible."
Although Marie was confused about why and how he found out about such information, she was still willing to follow his orders.
"Anything else young master?"
Zen contemplated for a moment, thinking that the academy should also have some clues about the outbreak since it happened when the students entered the Twilight Zone.
"Hmm, include some details on the report about what has happened in the academy so far."
After receiving the information conveyed to her, she started heading out of the room with the intention of investigating Warden's background and attending to the additional task entrusted to her by Zen.
Zen watched as she left, his gaze fixed upon her leaving figure. "I hope she's useful and can do the things I assigned her well." Zen mumbled as he did not really have any information about her from the novel.
While saying that he also started heading towards where the four girls went, to join them for dinner.
