Chapter 299: Reunion (Bonus for Alliance Leader Ice Shirt Mu Xue) (Fourth Update)

Ms. Hai Lan also sighed and said,

“Alas, I hope so. But this war, who knows how many lives it will take.”

“Some wars are unavoidable, and war is also for long-term peace, after all, some people truly cannot be reasoned with.”

Su Ming explained calmly.

“Mm.”

Ms. Hai Lan nodded slightly in response.

Starlight City, Royal Court Academy Interstellar Airport.

Student family members, dressed in black plain clothes and sobbing, stood in the C89 docking bay waiting area, comforted by the academy teachers.

At this time, several reporters held cameras, occasionally taking photos of the scene.

Just then, Red Fang pierced through the dark clouds, slowly descending from the sky and landing steadily on the Interstellar Airport.

Then the boarding exit slowly opened.

Vice Principal Fuleike, leading many teachers and students, with heavy hearts, escorted transparent mechanical coffins one by one from the ship.

At this point, the waiting student family members could no longer suppress their sorrow, and rushed forward.

When they saw the remains of their children inside the mechanical coffins, they immediately burst into tears.

“My son!”

Many more family members, their faces pale, asked Vice Principal Fuleike.

“Principal, where is my child’s body? Didn’t he sacrifice himself? Why don’t I see his body?”

“That’s right, what about ours?”

“I apologize, we were unable to bring back your children’s bodies.”

Vice Principal Fuleike bowed deeply to them, expressing his apologies with a heavy heart.

“Wuwu!”

The family members on site cried even more sorrowfully.

Su Ming and the others watched this scene, their hearts growing heavier. War was truly that cruel.

It wasn’t like a league match where there was a chance to start over; death was death, and there was no coming back to life.

Mia looked at the dejected crowd and sighed, comforting them.

“Sacrifice is unavoidable. Perhaps the next person to sacrifice themselves will be someone close to you. You must learn to control your emotions, accept everything calmly, and carry the belief of your fallen comrades to live well in this world! Remember my words, the dead are the happiest, and the living are the most painful, because they have to bear everything.”

“Mm.”

Rhine and the others nodded, seemingly understanding yet not fully.

At this moment, Mia looked at Su Ming, only to find his gaze incredibly calm, almost without a ripple, like a steadfast rock.

She thoughtfully said to Su Ming,

“Su Ming, take the students and Ms. Hai Lan back to rest. I’ll stay here to help handle things. Also, starting tomorrow, you’ll have three days off to rest well.”

“Okay, everyone, follow me.”

Su Ming nodded, leading the group towards the waiting bus.

Soon, everyone boarded the bus, and the vehicle slowly began to drive away.

Su Ming turned his head, looking through the window at the gradually receding Red Fang. He then took out his phone from his pocket.

Messages popped up one after another.

He clicked to read these messages; they were all from his father and mother, and there was also a message from his grandfather, Su Zhentian.

The content was roughly the same, asking if he was safe.

Su Ming looked at these messages, a smile appearing on his face, and replied to them one by one.

The next morning.

Su Ming and the others arrived at Teacher Mia’s dormitory early.

They saw Katini standing at the door waiting, and she had even specially changed into the dress Su Ming bought for her.

“Big Brother, you’re here.”

Katini called out happily.

“Mm, is your mother awake?”

Su Ming asked with a smile.

“Mm-hmm, I’ll go call her now. Mother, Big Brother and the others are here.”

Katini ran into the house cheerfully and called out.

Soon, Ms. Hai Lan came out with a small bag, and she smiled at Su Ming and the others, saying,

“You’re here.”

“Are you ready? If so, let’s depart.”

Su Ming said to Ms. Hai Lan.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Ms. Hai Lan replied without a moment’s hesitation.

Su Ming then led them out of the school, and soon, their group boarded two hovercars and drove away.

Inside the car, Katini looked at the scenery outside the window with curiosity, exclaiming repeatedly,

“So beautiful!”

“Do you like it?”

Su Ming asked with a smile.

“Mm-hmm.”

Katini replied obediently.

“If you like it, then live here with your mother.”

Su Ming said, stroking Katini’s little head.

At this moment, Ms. Hai Lan opened her mouth and asked Su Ming,

“Mr. Su Ming, where is the Scarlet Country delegation staying now?”

“We checked the relevant information; they are currently staying in District J1, Red Leaf Street. Although that area is a bit remote, overall, it’s still very nice.”

Su Ming replied to Ms. Hai Lan.

“Okay.”

A look of anticipation appeared in Ms. Hai Lan’s eyes.

More than two hours later.

The hovercar passed through the express lane and arrived at Red Leaf Street in District J1, pulling up in front of a building enclosed by a high wall at the very end.

The building’s gate was not only tightly shut, but several soldiers stood guard at the entrance.

These soldiers immediately became alert when they saw the hovercar stop.

At this time, Su Ming got out with Ms. Hai Lan, and Rhine and the others got out of the other hovercar.

“Who are you? This is a restricted area.”

The soldier captain in charge of guarding stepped forward and asked.

Su Ming took out his student ID and politely replied,

“We are students from Royal Court Academy. These two are Ms. Hai Lan and Miss Katini from Scarlet Country. We are specifically here to bring them to meet with the delegation.”

“You may knock on the door.”

The soldier captain checked their IDs, then looked at Ms. Hai Lan and her daughter’s appearance, and then moved aside.

Su Ming stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.

Ding-dong~

Not long after, a rush of footsteps was heard.

The tightly shut gate was then opened, and Elena looked out with a puzzled expression.

“Elena!”

Ms. Hai Lan, seeing Elena, instantly cried out with some emotion.

Elena, seeing Ms. Hai Lan, also showed a shocked expression in her eyes, then exclaimed with great joy,

“Princess Consort, you’re still alive, that’s wonderful!”

“Mm! This is all thanks to Mr. Su Ming and them.”

Ms. Hai Lan explained to Elena.

“I see. Please come in quickly, don’t stand outside.”

Elena quickly ushered Ms. Hai Lan and the others inside.

Su Ming and the others then followed Elena inside. Beyond the gate was a small open space, and further in was an old Gothic-style building.

Once they entered the building, they arrived in a spacious hall.

The entire hall was filled with children; there were no adults in sight.

These children looked timidly at Su Ming and the others.

Su Ming and the others looked at these children, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. These children were precisely the ones Elena had taken to kneel before the City Lord’s Mansion, and they were also the last hope of Scarlet Country.

Ms. Hai Lan, with a complicated expression, asked Elena,

“Elena, besides you and these children, is there anyone else here?”

“No, we fled too hastily back then, and I only managed to bring these children.”

Elena replied, her eyes slightly red.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Ms. Hai Lan said gratefully.
