Chapter 2526: Chapter 8: The Counterattack Begins!
"It’s really okay..."
The female reporter thought the other party was causing trouble and quickly apologized again.
Compared to ordinary creatures in the Orion Arm, Earth people are even more extreme in their support for Jia’s family. Remember last time when a creature inside Orion Arm spoke ill of Jia’s family at a party, two Earth people present turned against them, and when they couldn’t win, they called bodyguards to help, nearly beating the person who spoke ill of Jia’s family into a state of helplessness.
Fortunately, the young man seemed a bit regretful as he shook his head and didn’t pursue their remarks further.
"Forget it, since you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you. However, while you’re conducting interviews here, remember not to impede normal military activities, or you’ll be subject to military discipline."
"Okay, we understand."
Although this area is a non-war zone, many military activities are carried out here. The female reporters know where they should and shouldn’t be.
"Very good, then see you next time if there’s an opportunity."
The young man waved his hand and left directly.
"Uh, who is this young man? He seems very important."
A group of reporters were all discussing, feeling that the young man was a significant figure.
But they had no answers.
"I always feel like I’ve seen this young man somewhere."
The female reporter was very puzzled.
Of course, she must have seen this young man before, even though he rarely appeared in media, thinking about it she realized this young man is actually from the most powerful family in the entire Orion Arm, Jia’s family, and is the most direct descendant, Jia Rong.
"This non-war zone here is indeed much more peaceful, there are so many reporters from the extraterrestrial domain present."
"Of course, but Lord Jia Rong, you better not be so reckless, knowing that those creatures earlier, if they were assassins, you’d be in danger."
"Oh? Do you really think I’d be in danger? Don’t think just because you’re Semi-permanent Star Level, your survival ability necessarily exceeds mine, believe it or not even if a Stellar level comes, I have ways to protect myself?"
Jia Rong smiled at a similarly short humanoid creature next to him.
This creature is his recent personal bodyguard, similar in size to Earth people, which is why he was selected as Jia Rong’s bodyguard. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Uh, I do believe you. Weren’t you chased by a Stellar level back then, and it ended up with the Stellar level dying instead? You must have methods of protection from Lord Jia Yan, but safety issues still need consideration."
The Semi-permanent Star Level helplessly smiled at Jia Rong’s words.
He also knew Jia Rong definitely had protection methods from Jia Yan on him, even if he died, Jia Rong might not necessarily die, so he couldn’t do much with Jia Rong.
"Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you, I’ll be more careful next time. By the way, those creatures earlier, they’re reporters from the extraterrestrial domain, right? Let them meet with me next time. We’ve been neglecting them a bit recently in Orion Arm. If I meet with them for an interview, we should be able to smooth things over."
"Okay."
Jia Rong definitely wasn’t some fool. Seeing the reporters from the extraterrestrial domain earlier looking neglected in this military peaceful zone, he understood the situation between the two sides was a bit awkward now.
This Small Starfield indeed supports Orion Arm a lot, but they’re really too small, making Orion Arm not have much time to entertain them.
So, Jia Rong, as a leisure person, stepping out to meet them, have a meal or something, could just relieve their dissatisfaction.
"Oh, right, I should be preparing to have a fleet assigned to me, shouldn’t I? Don’t make me wait long, only to find out it’s a Scruffy Fleet of just a name?"
Jia Rong suddenly asked.
"Replying to Lord Jia Rong, based on what I know, you should be getting a real normal fleet, considering you’ve been commanding fleets decently recently, it’s probably your time to shine."
The Semi-permanent Star Level looked at the intelligence data and congratulated Jia Rong.
"That’s good, but I also heard the reason I’m able to get a real complete fleet is because the upper echelon is preparing for a big operation, gathering all the fleets, so getting a real fleet isn’t really shocking."
Jia Rong wasn’t particularly happy, instead he shared the intelligence he gathered.
As someone with significant status in Jia’s family, he naturally had his sources of intelligence.
"Uh, I don’t know about that, but based on what I know, it seems that way, not sure why we’re mobilizing fleets on a large scale recently in Orion Arm."
Jia Rong glanced at the latter, then gave a faint smile.
"Though I don’t have a definite answer either, judging from the situation, I can guess... this should be... our Orion Arm’s counterattack is about to start!"
"Is that so?"
The Semi-permanent Star Level’s expression slightly froze.
Although what Jia Rong said was speculation, a guess from someone in Jia’s family carried significant weight, as Jia’s family had such high status. If Jia Rong were wrong and overheard, even brewing a counterattack would require making up for Jia Rong.
Of course, Jia Rong spoke with his judgment, judging from the recent fleet movements in Orion Arm and recent material transportation, a conclusion like this was easy to formulate.
"Heh, I wonder who issued the order for this counterattack, and how large it is. After all, counterattacks have occurred many times before, but each time hasn’t really been a full-scale counterattack. Could this time also be just minor skirmishes?"
In Jia Rong’s heart, he hoped for a large-scale counterattack battle to start, as he was part of Orion Arm’s creatures. If a counterattack began, he’d at least see fewer casualties and homelessness in his Mother Star Field.
On the other hand, the female reporter was still pondering over the man’s appearance she saw during the day.
She felt she’d seen him somewhere, but couldn’t recall.
As a female reporter, within her Starfield civilization, she’s considered a top beauty, and to Earth people, she’s an unimaginably top beauty.
Her Starfield civilization’s population far exceeds Earth’s, even in that civilization, she’s a top beauty, so on Earth, she’s incredibly stunning.
"I remember now, he... he’s actually... Jia Rong, isn’t he?"
Suddenly, this top beauty reporter was completely shocked.
She never expected to meet a person from Jia’s family, reputedly, on a normal road in the peaceful zone, and that someone from Jia’s family could be Jia Rong, full of inheritance significance.
This future prospective groom within Orion Arm, widely admired by many humanoid female creatures inside Orion Arm, and also by many females within the reporter’s starfield, who dream of combining with this young yet powerful man.
"Oh my, because I never thought of meeting him in reality, so I never expected he was Jia Rong. Now that I recall, he was indeed very approachable."
The female reporter felt a wave of shame, as a reporter, she didn’t even recognize Jia Rong standing before her, which felt a bit like dereliction of duty.
Just then, the director of their filming crew pulled out an invitation from Jia Rong, saying it’s for a meal with him and to interview Jia Rong.
The director and others were shocked too, but mostly excited, knowing that Jia’s family members aren’t easily interviewed.
"Okay, I’ll attend too, but I’ll ask some questions that are more appealing to women, not sure if they’ll be willing."
"They said they definitely are, Lord Jia Rong’s personality is just too good."
"Mm-hmm, I think so too."
The female reporter excitedly nodded.
Neither the female reporter nor Jia Rong realized that in this non-war zone, a tall Earth man was walking on the bustling starry sky street.
However, this man had a slight smile.
"Heh, this kid, spring has arrived."
The voice from this man’s mouth surprisingly resembled exactly that of Jia Yan speaking.
