Chapter 532: Chapter 530 Destiny

At dusk, the giant creature was still kneeling with one knee on the ground 20 kilometers away in the mountains, and the Rangers had gradually relaxed their vigilance. After all, Wei Tianyang was still here, and even if the creature started to move, he would stop it immediately.

At least that’s what the Rangers here thought.

Wei Tianyang glanced at his watch; it was less than an hour until sunset. He stood at the entrance of the tent, anticipating the creature’s performance. When he flew in the sky earlier, he saw a city to the north, roughly a hundred kilometers away from here.

He didn’t know the name of the city, but it was quite large. Given the creature’s pace, how long would it take to run there?

While Wei Tianyang was lost in his thoughts, Heins came over with a soldier from Yin Country, still giving a proper salute.

"No need to be so formal, Heins, relax," Wei Tianyang said with a smile.

He looked at the soldier, whose appearance was quite decent and of a similar height to himself, with a not-bad expression on his face.

Moreover, Wei Tianyang always felt this man looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

According to the various thoughts in his mind, this man had encountered him on a battlefield of a small country before, but at that time, Wei had not been distracted enough to observe the soldiers on the ground.

"You seem to have some grievances against me?" Wei Tianyang said.

"My name is Wang Ye," replied Wang Ye.

"Have we met before?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"At that time, you were in the sky, maybe you didn’t look down at us," Wang Ye said.

"Ah, I understand. Seeing someone flying in the sky must have been unforgettable, right?" Wei Tianyang laughed.

"What did you do to those children?" Wang Ye asked.

Heins sensed something was amiss and quickly stood between the two, saying, "I can arrange someone else..."

"No, no, let it be him. Besides, he has something to say to me," Wei Tianyang said.

Heins tactfully moved aside, continuously signaling to Wang Ye with his eyes.

"What children are you referring to?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"You abducted the refugee’s children; what did you do to them?" Wang Ye asked.

Wei Tianyang then realized, he took a deep breath, looked around, and then said, "They are doing quite well."

"Do you dare swear it?" Wang Ye asked.

"Swear to whom?" Wei Tianyang asked with a smile.

"Swear to the gods," Wang Ye said.

Wei Tianyang looked at the sky and said, "Only I fly in the sky, are you asking me to swear to myself?"

"Have you already considered yourself a god?" Wang Ye asked.

Wei Tianyang shook his head, "I still think, I might have seen you earlier than that, don’t you remember?"

"Don’t try to get cozy with me," Wang Ye turned to leave.

Wei Tianyang stopped him and reached out his hand, saying, "Let’s shake hands before you go."

Wang Ye looked at Wei Tianyang’s extended right hand, which emerged from the camouflage sleeve with a bandaged forearm, black fingertips, and fingers that looked like sharp rocks.

Wang Ye hesitated for a moment but still shook that strange hand.

Wei Tianyang watched him with a smile, then gradually, the smile on his face faded.

"If there are no issues..." Heins said.

Wei Tianyang released Wang Ye’s hand, watching him turn away.

"Let it be, just like that," he said.

Then he turned and walked back into the tent.

That brief contact allowed him to read Wang Ye’s memories.

He had indeed seen him, the vicious murder case in Yin Country, where a youth brutally killed six rogues with a fruit knife after his mother’s stall was trampled, and was later caught and tortured in prison.

That was all over twenty years ago; he had mentioned it to Zhao Ling back then and had secretly visited the young man in the detention center’s infirmary, only he himself did not know.

Not only that, Wei Tianyang also recalled his anger buried deep within his heart at that time, and the greater meaning he was seeking.

The greater meaning...

"Is this fate, or just a coincidence?" Wei Tianyang muttered to himself.

His involvement had changed that young man’s life.

Now, Wang Ye, grown up, stood before him, almost like another version of himself who remained true to his original aspiration, still adhering to the man-made concepts of justice and fairness.

Suddenly, Wei Tianyang began to feel restless, and he sensed that anger eroding him as he gradually remembered the days in Chicken Snake Country, that brief year also supported by a similar rage.

"No, I’ve already denied the greater meaning, I’ve done more than him, that kind of anger is pointless," Wei Tianyang seemed to be convincing himself, muttering.

Soon, darkness fell, and when Wei Tianyang stepped out of the tent, that damn alarm sounded again throughout the camp, and by then, the giant creature had already disappeared.

Heins and Mike Tangli found him almost simultaneously.

Before they could speak, Wei Tianyang said, "Prepare a helicopter, I know where it’s going."

On the helipad, an armed helicopter was on standby; Wang Ye, fully equipped, stood at the cabin door, its rotor blades already beginning to warm up.

Wei Tianyang walked towards the helicopter, his AR glasses integrating into the Rangers’ combat system.

At his request, the helicopter’s call sign was changed to Moby Dick, his own to Yaha, and Wang Ye was called Yishenmali.

Wang Ye opened the cabin door and was the first to board the aircraft.

Wei Tianyang walked to the door and reached out, but Wang Ye ignored him.

"Don’t be so distant, give me a hand," Wei Tianyang said.

Wang Ye still did not move.

Wei Tianyang chuckled self-deprecatingly, grabbed the handle, and boarded the helicopter as it tilted slightly to the side.

"Moby Dick ready for takeoff," the helicopter pilot’s voice came through the headset.

However, a red light suddenly illuminated inside the cabin, followed by an alarm sound.

"What’s going on?" Wang Ye asked.

"We’re overweight," said the helicopter pilot.

Wei Tianyang closed the cabin door, and at that moment, the red light and alarm were cleared.

"Can’t your plane carry two people?" Wei Tianyang asked with a smile.

"Could be a software glitch, we’re taking off now," said the pilot.

The helicopter slowly ascended, then hovered over the camp for a circle before flying north.

In his AR glasses, a 3D map encompassing 1200 square kilometers appeared on the right side of the HUD, and a giant humanoid was marked on the map.

"It’s moving fast, and many unidentified flying creatures have appeared around it; we might need aerial firepower support," the helicopter pilot said.

"No need, just follow it," Wei Tianyang said.

Wang Ye sat opposite Wei Tianyang, staring intently at his hand.

Wei Tianyang noticed that Wang Ye’s accompanying camera on his shoulder was still on.

"What are you looking at?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Wang Ye remained silent.

He simply raised his right hand, slightly unwrapping the bandage to reveal his hand, black like obsidian.

"Don’t worry, it looks very solid, but it’s as flexible as your right hand," Wei Tianyang said.

"Do you bleed?" Wang Ye suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?" Wei Tianyang countered.

"Do you?" Wang Ye asked again.

Wei Tianyang smiled, rewrapped the bandage, and while wrapping it said, "If you ever get the chance, you can try it."
