Chapter 329 You Are One Of My People

Two months had passed since Thirteen, and Colonel Fischer had their talk.

When the other Battalion Commanders and the spies, who had managed to become part of the 69th Battalion, heard Thirteen's announcement, all of them were caught completely by surprise.

Instead of going to the Cygni Continent to help defend it from the Jinn Invasion, he chose to go to the Rigel Continent, which had already been overrun by these monsters.

Of course, his subordinates subtly asked him for the reason why they were going there, but the only thing he said was "the grass is always greener on the other side".

They thought that their Battalion Commander was just teasing them, but now, they couldn't even laugh about it.

Currently, the 69th Battalion was on-board an Aircraft Carrier, which belonged to the Leventis Family.

This Aircraft Carrier was accompanied by six Destroyer-Class Warships, and they were headed to the Man-Made island called Dvallin.

They had left the port a week ago and, if they kept traveling at the same speed they were now, they would arrive at their destination in six to eight days.

Since the Aldebaran Continent was separated from the Main Continent, the Remington Clan, and the three Prestigious Families of Aldebaran, which were composed of the Leventis, Smith, and Lockwood Families, had their own naval forces.

The Leventis Family had sent half of their navy forces to accompany Thirteen on his expedition toward the Rigel Continent.

To everyone's surprise, Michael Leventis was also accompanying them.

As the Second-In-Command of the Leventis Family, his words held great significance, making the Wanderers think that Arthur Leventis thought highly of his grandson.

Well, they weren't wrong because ever since the battle in the Arcadia Archipelago, the Patriarch of the Leventis Family had no choice but to take his no-good-grandson's words seriously.

The High-Ranking Officers of the Central Government knew that Zion would ask for his family's help.

They just didn't expect that Michael Leventis would accompany him on his trip as well.

Originally, Arthur only planned to give Thirteen a single Destroyer for his trip to the Rigel Continent.

But, after his grandson said that if he didn't send more ships with him "Arthur will regret it so much that he will suffer constipation for a year", the old man decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zion.

After hearing what the teenage boy had to say, Arthur almost sent the entire Naval Army of the Leventis Family, including himself on this mission.

However, Thirteen told him that doing that would certainly backfire. So, Arthur compromised and sent his son, Michael to assist his no-good-grandson, in looting all the resources on the Rigel Continent, which would greatly benefit the Leventis Family.

"Hey, are we really going to be fine?" Pietro asked his fellow Captains inside his own private quarters. "Isn't this a bit too much for a training mission?"

"You're just overthinking things," Cristopher replied. "If the Young Master says that we will go South, we will go South."

"If the Young Master said jump, the only thing you are allowed to ask is how high," Colbert commented.

Pietro looked at Piper's determined gaze before looking down on his hands.

Before this trip, his hands were covered with callouses due to the daily training that they had done for eight straight weeks.

Those calluses were now gone because thirteen had given them some kind of hand cream that they would use nightly before they slept.

When they woke up the next day, their callouses had disappeared, and their rough hands felt less rough than usual.

"Colbert, can I ask you something personal?" Alexis said as he looked at the young man, who had started to peel an apple with his combat knife.

"Sure," Colbert replied without even raising his head.

"You are part of the Riggs Family, right?" Alexis inquired. "One of the Ten Prestigious Families?"

Colbert smiled faintly before taking a bite of the half-peeled apple in his hand.

He knew that sooner or later, someone would ask him this question.

But, Zion never did.

For him, it didn't matter if Colbert was part of the Monarch Clans, a member of the Prestigious Families, or just a random beggar on the streets.

The teenage boy only said six words to him and that was "You are one of my People".

That was all he said, and that was all Colbert needed

The boot-licking teenager, who had schemed against Zion Leventis long ago, was now a changed man.

Although he was still a boot-licker, he was now a boot-licker with standards!

Flatter the Scions of the Monarch Clans?

Pitui!

Curry favors from the Prestigious Family?

Yuck!

Rub shoulders with the High-Ranking Officers of the Central Government?

No, thank you!

Just like Cristopher, he only wished to serve one man, and that was none other than the person, who promised him that he would become so popular, that the Riggs Family would beg him to keep their family name for generations to come.
