Chapter 546 – Envoys of the Qika Federation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Due to the various problems left over from the past, the Qika Federation was constantly yearning for top powerhouses. It was precisely because of this that they maintained an extraordinary level of attention toward
Chen Heng and his sister. Hence, they immediately noticed when Chen Heng’s information came out.
n fact, among the forces that had received news of the battle between Chen Heng and the Blue Knight, the Qika Federation was the fastest to react. They immediately sent out envoys and prepared to come into
contact with Chen Heng almost the moment the news of the battle came out.
However, because the distance between the stars was too huge, the Qika Federation would not be able to rush here immediately even if they used all their means to receive the news.
egardless of how Lu Yao and the others were able to arrive easily at the Hechi Starfield through the teleportation array, in reality, those who were able to construct a teleportation array and achieve large-scale
teleportation were still a minority even within the entire galaxy.
Lu Yao was able to do so because she had Ye Zi, the former follower of the Golden King, by her side. As the follower of the former Gold King, Ye Zi might not be particularly powerful, but she possessed something that
others could not imagine – the various inheritances of the previous Golden King.
The inheritance of a king was an extremely rare thing for others, but it was something that Ye Zi completely possessed. It was precisely because of this, coupled with her extraordinary talent, that she was able to grasp
the skill of teleportation arrays.
Yet, no one else had the ability to do so like her. This was especially so for a small faction like the Qika Federation, which hadn’t even produced a single sixth rank existence. To the Qika Federation, they had no way of
using the teleportation arrays to reach the Hechi Starfield directly. Hence, being able to arrive this time was already the result of their all-out effort.
However, they didn’t expect completely new development in the matter, even though their actions were already swift, and they had arrived at the Hechi Starfield within a few years.
When they had set off from the Qika Federation, Chen Heng had merely fought against the Blue Knight and displayed the strength equivalent to the Five knights. However, by the time they arrived here, even the Five
nights had already been eradicated and turned into the dust of history.
Chen Heng himself had revealed a power that could suppress the Five Knights and was comparable to a king. This level of change was something they had not expected. Even now, the Star Alliance had already been
established. A small force like the Qika Federation could not even be ranked in the Star Alliance.
if it were not because the Qika Federation was once the hometown of Chen Heng and Lu Yao, Malikado probably would not have mentioned it here on purpose and would have directly ignored it instead.
“The Qika Federation…” Sitting on the throne and listening to Malikado’s words, Chen Heng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought as he recalled some things.
He had many memories of the past in the Qika Federation. Those people and things that had come into contact with him were most likely still living well on the Qika Star. He just didn’t know how those people had
become. Were they still there? Had they become better or worse? Chen Heng’s mood fluctuated a little as this thought flashed through his mind.
“Sir…” Malikado’s voice sounded once again.
Chen Heng looked at Malikado as if he was listening to his words.
“The envoys from the Qika Federation said they have information about your parents…” Malikado still said it after he met Chen Heng’s gaze and hesitated for a moment.
Chen Heng’s expression immediately changed. He was a traveler from the outside world. The parents of this world were not his birth parents in the strict sense. But they were still the parents of his body no matter
what. In the past, the parents of this body were good to him. That kind of care and doting they’ve given to Chen Heng was real and came from the bottom of their heart.
Yet now, the news of his former parents was right before him. Chen Heng could not remain indifferent. So, he thought for a moment and finally nodded. “Let them in.”
“Yes.” Malikado secretly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Chen Heng’s words. Then, he hurriedly nodded and retreated.
He moved very quickly. In just a moment, the envoys from the Qika Star rushed over. During this process, Lu Yao received the news and rushed over, staying in the main hall with Chen Heng. There was anticipation on
her face as she wanted to know the news about her parents. Therefore, she rushed over as soon as she received the news.
Soon, while they were waiting, an envoy from the Qika Federation walked up. Under Chen Heng’s gaze, a vaguely familiar woman walked into the main hall and stood in front of Chen Heng and Lu Yao.
It was a woman wearing a red dress. Although there were some changes, her face was still vaguely familiar. Chen Heng could not help but be stunned.
“Jiang Wen…” Chen Heng stared at the woman before him before finally saying her name.
Even though a few years had passed, her appearance had not changed much. She was still the same as before, but she had become a lot more mature.
Jiang Wen was Chen Heng’s teammate when he was still in Qika Star. At that time, Chen Heng was working under the Black Dream Group, serving as the Guardian of an area. Jiang Wen was one of his team members at
that time. Their relationship was quite harmonious, and she had witnessed many things about him. To Chen Heng, this person was one of his memories in Qika Star.
Sitting on the throne, Chen Heng looked at Jiang Wen, who was still the same as before, but now she was much more mature. When Chen Heng left Qika Star, she was still a young girl, but now she was grown and tall.
It looked like she was going to be a big sister soon.
“Captain…” Jiang Wen was still a little nervous looking at Chen Heng.
It was not until Chen Heng recognized her and called out her name that she let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s you.”
The other people from Qika Star stood behind Jiang Wen and could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Under normal circumstances, with Jiang Wen’s identity, it was naturally not enough for her to appear in such a
critical mission.
However, based on their investigation, they found out that Jiang Wen was once Chen Heng’s subordinate and had a good relationship with Chen Heng. Therefore, they specially brought Jiang Wen over and arranged
for her to be on the team. From the results, this decision was the right one.
“It’s been a long time.” Chen Heng glanced at the people behind Jiang Wen, then looked at Jiang Wen before nodding and chatting with her.
They talked about their past experiences and some of the things that had happened. During this process, Chen Heng’s attitude was very calm. Although he wasn’t too friendly, he didn’t appear cold either. This attitude
made the people around him heave a sigh of relief.
After a long while, Jiang Wen retreated and let the others walk up. Strictly speaking, these people were the true envoys of the Qika Federation. As for Jiang Wen, she was only used to draw connections.
“| heard that you have news about my parents?” Sitting on the throne, Chen Heng looked at the people before him. He asked directly and didn’t say anything else.
“Yes.” The old man in the lead appeared very respectful among the envoys of the Qika Federation. He was also straightforward when he heard Chen Heng’s words.
He immediately took out a video and played it in front of Chen Heng and Lu Yao. As the video was played, the scene revealed was very familiar to Chen Heng and Lu Yao. It was an empty villa area, none other than
where Chen Heng and Lu Yao had lived before they left Qika Star.
They had not seen each other for a few years. From the looks of it, the area had become much more prosperous. Many more buildings were around, and even the security had become much stricter.
After so many years, Chen Heng was still fine when he saw this familiar place again. However, Lu Yao seemed a little excited beside him, but she did not say anything.
No one said anything but silently watched the video in front of them. Then, a middle-aged couple appeared in the video. They were like an average couple, living in this area and going through the daily chores.
“Dad, Mom!” Lu Yao could not help but speak, looking at the two people in the video. Her eyes had unknowingly turned red.
The middle-aged couple in the video was none other than Chen Heng and his parents. Judging from the situation in the video, they had aged a lot after a few years and had some white hair on their heads. However,
they were still healthy and living in the same area.
Soon, the video ended. The old man’s voice sounded again, “This is the video uploaded from Qika Star. It has been about a year since then.”
The old man’s expression was very respectful. At this moment, he said, “Your parents have been living very well there since the two of you left. They are under our protection, and no one will disturb them.”
Not long after Chen Heng and Lu Yao left, Chen Heng’s initial arrangement was discovered. Then, the Qika Federation followed the traces left behind by Chen Heng and found his parents in a particular secret realm.
After that, the people of the Qika Federation did not make a public announcement. But Instead, they protected Chen Heng’s parents adequately and placed them in the same area as before, until now.
“Your parents are living very well.” The old man continued, “Although we did not make a public announcement to prevent the people of the Round Table from finding out, we still supported them according to your
previous treatment and let them live in silence.”
Chen Heng nodded. Based on Chen Heng’s and Lu Yao’s situation, if his parents were to reveal themselves, it would cause some trouble. The people of the Round Table alone would be somewhat unable to deal with it.
After all, although Chen Heng had already hidden, Lu Yao was still being hunted down by the people of the Round Table at that time.
If people were to find out that Chen Heng’s and Lu Yao’s parents were still alive, people would most likely want to use this to make a fuss and even threaten Lu Yao into submission. Under such circumstances, the Qika
Federation’s actions were understandable and could even be correct.
“Before we rushed over, we learned about your past.” The old man continued to speak with a respectful expression. “Most of your friends from the past are still around, still on the Qika Star.” He also provided videos of
some of Chen Heng’s friends from the past as he spoke.
Chen Heng was silent for a moment seeing this, then he nodded, “You’re too kind.”
The Qika Federation had indeed done an excellent job. Even though they had not done anything to help Chen Heng and Lu Yao back then, it was not their fault. After all, with their abilities back then, if they had dared
to get involved in the matter between Lu Yao and the Round Table, they would most likely have faced a disaster.
On the other hand, they found Chen Heng’s parents, but they did not hand them over to the Round Table for reward. Instead, they secretly hid them. This was already very rare. If it were another organization, they
would most likely hand them over directly in exchange for some benefits.
Although, they would do this most likely because they had the intention to speculate, hoping that Chen Heng and Lu Yao would be able to turn the tables and bring them even greater returns. However, even if they had
such intentions, what they had done could not be denied.
Therefore, Chen Heng finally nodded and gave them what they wanted. He made a promise in front of Malikado and the old man that he would allow the Qika Federation to join the Star Alliance. In the future, they
would be able to control a starfield that initially belonged to the Round Table.
Similarly, he would arrange the privileges and resources that initially belonged to the Oriel family, the Red Lotus Association, and a small number of other factions for the Qika Federation to enjoy together. This could
be said to be the best treatment at this moment.
The Qika Federation was walking before many other factions instantly. They received the same preferential treatment as the Oriel family, the Red Lotus Association, and other factions that had joined early in the
morning. This was something that many people dreamed of. The Qika Federation had come all the way here for the same reason.
After obtaining Chen Heng’s promise, everyone present who came from the Qika Federation, including the old man and Jiang Wen, revealed looks of joy. They were thrilled.
A moment later, Chen Heng let the Qika envoys leave first to discuss the specific conditions with Malikado.
As for Jiang Wen, she was left alone by Chen Heng to ask about some things. “How is the Black Dream Group doing now?” Chen Heng took Jiang Wen for a walk in a quiet courtyard and then asked..
