Chapter 219: Romero's Left Eye

Li Hao stared blankly at his Skycom, wondering if he had been found out. Although he intended to pay it back, it felt like a distant prospect; he would save Ant first and figure out the rest later.

"Second Brother, I have over three hundred here, but it needs to be cycled through a few times; it's a bit troublesome coming out of the dark web. I can get it done in three days. How about you?" Kevin was actually quite worried about this. This was also why Ant didn't want to trouble others, feeling like a burden. The Genetic CT Mixture to treat him cost 1.5 million per injection.

"I've already found a way, but the amount is a bit large, so I still need some time to scrape it together. Do you think Solomon is very wealthy..."

Ding-dong... Your Skycom account has received 20,000,000. Balance: 20,006,850. Skycom Fund welcomes your attention and is willing to provide you with supreme financial services.

Li Hao:......

Kevin:......

Kevin licked his lips, "Second Brother, did you rob a bank? Why didn't you call me?"

"Get lost. An honest, law-abiding person like me never does such things. I racked my brains to borrow this—I met a good person!" Li Hao beamed as he counted the zeros. That kid Ant really has good luck.

At this moment in Li Hao's heart, Dita was already on par with the Virgin Maria, even though it seemed like something was wrong with her brain. Pfft, pfft... Sin, what a sin.

Kevin was also relieved on his end. Having received the funds, Li Hao wrote an IOU to Dita on Skycom, indicating that he had received it.

Dita, who was in the middle of training, saw the signature and USE citizen number on the IOU and smiled happily. How refreshing. This way, everyone had leverage on each other, and the embarrassing things from before could be put to rest. It was quite good; otherwise, how could she hold her head up in front of A Youyou?

Young man, you've really broadened your path!

"Hello viewers, I am the streamer Luna. I am currently at Langwu Star Battle Academy. The academy has restricted entry and exit, and outsiders cannot enter. However, fortunately, Luna herself is a student at Langwu," she said, giving a sexy wink. "Everyone can see that the building in front of me is the Special Combat Building for the Langwu Team. We used to be able to watch their training, but now we can't get in. Team Leader Romero is currently preparing for battle. This fight will attract the eyes of the entire Solar System, and the opponent is the legendary Puppet!"

Luna had a very sexy figure, estimated at a 36E, yet she had a slightly delicate face. She was a popular outdoor streamer on the Mars EMP. Her nicknames included "Mars Weapon" and "Dominator of the World"—of course, those were given by her fans. Luna herself liked fitness, gymnastics, and extreme sports, and was naturally a Mecha enthusiast. There were basically no young people now who didn't like Mecha. The plastic surgery and tattoos that were particularly popular on Mars were absent on Luna; she was a breath of fresh air on Mars, which also made her highly sought after.

She certainly couldn't miss a major event happening at her own academy. The Langwu team members at the entrance naturally recognized Luna. Luna was considered a star at Langwu and was also the captain of the cheerleading squad, so she had a very good relationship with the team.

"Two seniors, I am Luna. I wonder if I could bother the Team Leader for a few minutes? Mecha enthusiasts across the entire Alliance are waiting for this battle, and everyone really wants to hear the Team Leader's voice."

Looking at the sexy Luna, the two looked at each other. "Junior, this is a critical period. The Team Leader cannot be disturbed."

"Senior, please help me ask. I beg you. I have many little sisters who really admire you all."

The two looked at each other and nodded tacitly. "Junior, we can only help you ask. Whether it works or not depends on the Team Leader."

After a while, the slightly taller team member came out, looking happy but also a bit surprised. "Junior Luna, the Team Leader says you can come in."

Luna was stunned. "Really? Can I continue the live stream?"

"The Team Leader says you can."

"Partners in the live stream, the welfare is here! Who you are about to see is our Langwu hero, Lone Wolf Romero, who is also my idol!"

In an instant, the live stream became lively. Millions of fans immediately filled the screen with '666'. The Mars Three Wolves were also famous for being difficult to approach; they rarely accepted interviews, and their personalities were relatively ruthless and arrogant. Ordinary people really couldn't handle them.

Not only were there Martians, but upon hearing that they were about to interview Lone Wolf Romero, many viewers from other federations also began to flood in. This battle was the biggest event in the EMP war zone, so everyone was waiting in anticipation and wouldn't miss any details.

In fact, even without Puppet, Romero alone was enough to attract attention.

Arriving in the training room, the team members were practicing. Romero seemed to have just finished sparring. Seeing Luna, he nodded, and the other team members quickly left.

Romero was shirtless, his muscles visibly rippling and then settling. Looking at Luna, for that instant, Luna felt her body tense up. A woman's sensitivity felt like it was facing a terrifying creature, carrying a suffocating sense of dominance.

But the next second, Romero's aura dissipated, though he remained expressionless.

"Team Leader Romero!" Luna immediately saluted according to the Langwu military salute.

Romero nodded. "Sit. What do you want to know?"

Influence was also a part of strength. Since he had decided to fight that person, he didn't mind this.

The usually exceptionally active and sexy Luna was as obedient as a rabbit at this moment. "Team Leader, actually, fans across the entire Alliance have many questions. The first question is, is Puppet real?"

Luna got straight to the point. Such an opportunity was like a pie falling from the sky. She had been at the academy for so long, but this was the first time she had gotten such a chance. Many people now suspected that Puppet wasn't even human.

Romero nodded. "He exists."

"Everyone thinks that among the people Puppet has fought, some of them know Puppet, is that right?"

"Yes." Romero didn't shy away from it too much.

The popularity in Luna's live stream began to boil, rising by over two million in just a short while.

Luna felt Romero frown slightly and knew she couldn't go too deep; she had to have self-awareness.

"What do you think is Puppet's weakness?" Luna asked cautiously. This was also what many people wanted to ask.

"None," Romero said flatly.

Luna was a bit confused. In fact, the Martians in the live stream were also posting all sorts of question marks, because this was simply not the Romero they knew. What was a Lone Wolf? It meant being supreme in heaven and on earth; no matter who the opponent was, in his eyes, they were all trash.

Was this still the Lone Wolf they knew?

But to say that Lone Wolf feared Puppet, no one believed that either. Puppet being strong was beyond doubt, but such fame and topicality weren't entirely due to strength; EMP's support and mystery were factors. But Lone Wolf Romero stood at the pinnacle of mecha combat, tested by countless real battles.

Luna's heart was also full of doubts, and a rumor suddenly surged into her mind. Not knowing where she got the courage, she suddenly asked, "Team Leader, there is a rumor now that your left eye was injured by Puppet, so..."

Before she could finish, the temperature in the room plummeted. Romero's eyes suddenly became incomparably cold. No one in all of Mars dared to mention his left eye to his face. It was said to be an accident, and this rumor was complete nonsense.

Luna panicked. At this moment, she clamped her legs together, as if something wet was about to flow out. Her whole body was filled with fear, and she wanted to run, but her legs were weak.

Romero glanced at Luna, then at the screen, and his aura slowly receded.

Romero stood up, a curve appearing at the corner of his mouth, and at this moment, countless viewers in the live stream were watching Romero.

"Let's stop here for today." Romero turned and left flatly.

Luna's chest heaved violently. At that moment, she felt that if it weren't for the live stream, she might have been done for.

Drip, drop...

At this moment, what the fans cared about was no longer that; the live stream screen had exploded.

Could it be?

Could it really?

God!!!

Lone Wolf didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. I'm afraid it at least has a connection to Puppet. Then things were big. If it really was Puppet who blinded him, then the two not only knew each other, but I'm afraid they also had a deep history. And Puppet... who was he?

Someone who could fight Lone Wolf must have been at the highest level from the very beginning.

In fact, there was no shortage of busybodies going to investigate, but such a figure simply didn't exist in any files. Moreover, such a figure, as dazzling as the sun, couldn't have remained unknown for so many years. At this level, it couldn't be suppressed.

In an instant, this interview topped the hot searches, sparking heated discussion. This was originally not just a battle of honor for a Mobile Suit pilot, but even involved personal grievances.

If Lone Wolf's eye was blinded by Puppet, then Puppet must have been incredibly badass from a long time ago, this...

The combat team training building of Tianxing Jiwu Academy.

The other team members were all outside; Alzi and the others were clearly training half-heartedly, each one like a monkey, itching with curiosity—what on earth were they talking about inside?

"Feynman, do you have a feeling that the atmosphere recently is very strange, and that there is an invisible hand manipulating us?"

Feynman glanced at Alzi, "You should go find a woman."

"Look at what you're saying, am I the type of person to value romance over friendship? Really, ever since we went to Tianjing, it seems like everything is off. Do you think there's some kind of metaphysics involved in this?"

"I think your brain is the one that's not normal. Something big must be happening today." Feynman was also very curious; this kind of situation was still very rare.
