“Fair enough. You have so many women, why would you remember the name of an ordinary girl?” Christina snorted lightly.
Gaia was stunned, but he let out a small chuckle.
“Don’t worry, I don’t really care about your past. I’m just curious, why would a person like you be here? Why would a rich young master living in luxury come here to slum it with the military?” Christina asked.
“You should know why I’m here, right? After all, the country has already released the news online. You’ll know after checking it out.” Gaia did not want to talk about this in this setting, so he said in a straightforward manner.
“I’ve seen the videos. Indeed, you’re manlier than I thought,” Christina said.
“So, what did you actually come here for?”
Just as Christina was about to speak, Gaia said again, “Drop the jealous girl act. Your acting skills are really bad. We’re both heirs of a big family, so we both know what’s actually going on. I doubt either of us will be bothered by it, so let’s just drop the act.”
Gaia suddenly put on a serious expression, it was not something you’d usually see from him.
It was as if the person in front of him was not his fiancée, but an enemy.
Christina revealed a faint smile, but her entire temperament had changed.
If she was a jealous little girl earlier, she was now a mature heir of the family.
“I really can’t hide anything from you, my dear fiancé,” Christina said with a smile.
“Can we go somewhere more private? The next topic will be more sensitive… And more in-ti-mate.”
After saying the last word, Christina blushed, as if something that was not child-friendly was really going to happen.
“Let’s go.” Gaia got up first, grabbing another piece of cake for himself as he left.
Christina, on the other hand, walked in front of him seductively.
It was only now that Gaia noticed that his fiancée was also a great beauty.
Christina was over 1.7 meters tall. Since she was about to follow the exploration team to Planet Mushu, she was not wearing an evening gown. Instead, she wore a cool-looking black combat uniform.
Under the form-fitting combat pants, her long and slender legs were very eye-catching. Her perky hips further accentuated her perfect hourglass figure. Her long and straight black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, perfectly framing her delicate yet mature face.
Christina.
The second daughter of the Samuel Family, the third-in-line as the heir to the Family. She had been chosen as Gaia’s fiancée, becoming the link between the Samuel Family and the Klaus Family. She would definitely play an extremely important role in the cooperation between the two families in the future.
Originally, Gaia was not interested in this so-called fiancée at all. However, after actually seeing her today, Gaia suddenly started to have a change of heart.
The two of them found a quiet place to sit down. Christina finally told him her true goal for today.
“You probably don’t know why the country decided to announce the news about Planet Mushu, right?” Christina said.
“Why did they do that?” Gaia was indeed very curious.
This was extremely classified information just a single day ago. Why did the government decide to do a sudden 180 in just one day?
“My dear Fiancé, this information is currently a confidential matter…” Christina stopped talking at this point, batting her eyelids seductively at Gaia as a cheeky smirk appeared on her face.
“Just tell me already, it’ll definitely benefit you anyway!” Gaia said impatiently.
“The Higher Scientific Research Center found a strange virus in the wolf monsters you defeated. This virus is extremely infectious. The infected person will turn into a zombie-like creature and rabidly attack other people.”
Christina’s expression became serious when she said this, “Other than that, the Higher Scientific Research Center also discovered that there were traces of genetic modification in these creatures. This means that there might be a civilization on Planet Mushu that far surpasses mankind. Therefore, Planet Mushu is no longer a place that can be developed by a single country. The Federation has deemed that this project would require the combined power of the entire Planet Azure.”
Gaia was stunned. He remained silent for a long time.
“So, what’s your purpose of coming here today?” Gaia asked.
“The Samuel Family wishes to further cooperate with the Klaus Family. We wish to see our two families working together in this project, earning a bigger shared cut from this endeavor,” Cristina said in a serious tone.
Gaia lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.
“It’s not up to me to decide. I need to report it to the Family.”
The Samuel Family was similar to the Klaus Family in terms of size. Their family was very powerful in the field of biological technology. They could help the Klaus Family quite a bit when it came to exploring Planet Mushu.
“That is fine. That was my goal for today.”
Two people talked a bit more before they went their own ways. Gaia also took advantage of this free time to report this to the family.
——————————
After the banquet, Gaia and the others headed back into Planet Mushu.
By this time, the carcasses outside of the altar had been cleaned. Some of the soldiers were currently washing the walls with water.
There were claw marks all over the wall, some even having bits of flesh stuck in them.
The air was still filled with the stench of blood and rot, but it was much better than last night.
“Did anything else happen last night?”
“No, those werewolves weren’t endless. When they were down to a fraction of their original pack size, the werewolves retreated,” Douglas said.
This guy had been guarding the city wall for the whole night. After the wolf monsters retreated, he personally went down to get some fresh samples. It was a werewolf.
“Oh right, you came just in time. Get ready, you’re heading out soon. Philip had already a mission planned for us. Today’s goal was to get a rough idea of the situation within 500 meters of this place. Other than the beasts, can you detect smaller critters like snakes and insects?” Douglas asked.
In reality, in the jungle, the ones who caused the most casualties were not the ferocious beasts, but the venomous insects, snakes, and even some poisonous plants.
“I can detect some of them. I’ll do my best.”
Gaia’s skill was called Attuned to Nature. He could also hear the voices of some animals with higher intelligence levels. However, it did not work on the less intelligent ones. He had to sniff them out by listening to the plants around them.
