Gundam 00: Rise of China

The waiting area at the Tianzhu No. 1 Railway Station of the People's Revolutionary Alliance is spacious and bright, with passengers hurrying towards their respective trains.

No matter how many people are busy here, in the enormous platform that matches the aura of the great power of the United Nations, the human figure will always be so insignificant.

Wang Ye, who handed over the final work in Taliban to the arriving economic mission and effectively became a hands-off manager, was also present at the time.

While marveling at how all the major Eastern powers in every world love to be number one, he led Piris and Anura straight to the orbital elevator, preparing to head to the Heavenly Pillar Headquarters in space.

However, since it was still early, Wang Ye, leaning against the railing, habitually glanced at the surrounding crowd, killing time while also harboring some anticipation.

Suddenly, Wang Ye raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.

Actually, he had no hope for something, but he didn't expect the world line correction power to be so strong.

It's important to understand that the chaos in Taliban in this world ended later than in the original timeline, so logically these people should have missed it.

But Wang Ye still managed to run into Saji Crossrod here, the protagonist whose ranking in the original timeline was unknown!

The boy who caught Wang Ye's attention was dressed casually and was whispering something to the blonde girl next to him, his face showing the apprehension and anticipation typical of Japanese people.

The girl's name was Louise Halleve, and at that time she was just an ordinary girl from a wealthy family who was full of longing for the universe.

The woman standing in front of the two was named Kinue Crossrode.

The older sister of young Saji, now looking at the two people in front of her who were completely mismatched and she didn't know how they had come together, clearly showed a bit of confusion on her face, not knowing how to comment.

"Major, are we really not going back to Ceylon first?"

Wang Ye was looking elsewhere, completely unaware of this, and Anura stood beside him, speaking in a somewhat hesitant tone.

"I told Captain Wei Meng earlier that I could go back soon after dealing with the Taliban situation."

"Now look what's happened, instead of going back to Ceylon, you've taken us straight to space."

After scratching his head, Anura looked troubled and said again.

"Captain Wei Meng was telling me privately the other day that he envied me for being able to go to Taliban with you and pull off a big heist."

"Now we've abandoned him again and run up Tianzhu. I really won't be able to explain this to Lieutenant Wei Meng when we get back."

"You're his superior, he can't control you, but he can control me!"

"oh oh."

Wang Ye responded casually to Anula's complaints, but his gaze remained almost imperceptibly fixed on the three people not far away, making no attempt to hide his perfunctory attitude towards Anula.

So how could such a small action escape the notice of Piris, who had been watching him closely?

Immediately, the girl followed Wang Ye's gaze and naturally looked at Louise and Kinue.

Otherwise, could it be that Major Wang Ye is actually interested in that timid man?

After sizing up Louise and Juanjiang, Piris's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Then she looked down at herself and took a half step forward, blocking Wang Ye's line of sight.

"Um?"

In response to Wang Ye's puzzled question, Piris looked up at him, his tone flat but carrying a stubbornness he himself was unaware of.

"Major, what are you looking at?"

"What?"

When Wang Ye came to his senses, he saw the girl blocking his way and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

This is a complete injustice!

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Anura's eyes lit up. He instantly forgot about Captain Wei Meng and glanced at the area behind Piris.

Anura, who was older, came over and jokingly whispered to herself.

"Hey, Major, which one have you got your eye on?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Being stared at coldly by Piris and openly teased by Anura, Wang Ye raised his hand and lightly patted him. Then, looking at Piris, who was pursing his lips, he shook his head with a smile and explained.

"I just saw a few familiar faces and glanced at them a couple more times."

stare!

That's utterly ridiculous. Of course, Piris pursed her lips. She neither pressed him for more information nor moved away. She just stood there in front of him like a little animal guarding its food.

Anura, who was watching all this, immediately tried her best to suppress her laughter so as not to lose her composure and incur Wang Ye's retaliation.

The three people laughing and joking around looked no different from the hurried travelers around them.

If no one can provide direct evidence that these three are elites who fought their way out of the Taliban battlefield, who can believe that these people are ruthless monsters with multiple lives on their hands?

But because of Piris and Anura's interference, Wang Ye didn't notice that on the other side of the waiting area, two people dressed in low-key yet luxurious attire were quietly observing them.

One of the tall men, with a single ponytail, leaned slightly forward and lowered his voice to report to the girl beside him.

"Miss, that man is Wang Ye, the man who used the alias Xia Ya to ambush Celestial Being and Union in Taliban."

"He is also a core ace of General Gao's faction in the People's Revolutionary Alliance, and a thorn in the side of our potential partner, General Jin."

"The information transmitted back through the internal line confirms that the identity and resume have been verified and there will be no errors."

"As for why he appeared here, it was so sudden that there is no further information to confirm at the moment."

"Give me some time, and I'll try my best to find out."

"I see."

The girl, named Wang Liumei, gently interrupted the report from the man named Honglong beside her.

Just like with Wang Ye before, Wang Liumei's gaze never left Wang Ye.

She actually dislikes Red Dragon in private. On the surface, it doesn't seem like she does anything, but in reality, she doesn't want to exchange a single word with him.

But at this moment, Wang Liumei had no intention of arguing at all. Her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she stared intently at Wang Ye, who was chatting and laughing with his subordinates not far away. Her mind raced with thoughts.

The battle in Taliban thoroughly exasperated the arrogant Unionist from Kona.

Using only tactics and popular support, they overturned Veda's orders and forcibly split Celestial Being, enabling the Gundams to repel Union's fleet.

They take all the benefits they can get with perfect discretion, leaving AEU with no way to complain!

People like that are so interesting.

As the head of the Celestial Intelligence Network, he is also someone who yearns to personally transform this corrupt world.

Wang Liumei even felt that Kona was not good enough compared to Wang Ye, and that he was not qualified to be a driver for the Celestials.

Only this man named Wang Ye is that sharp yet composed blade, the very fulcrum he has been dreaming of, capable of moving the entire world.

As her fingertips gently caressed her sleeve, Wang Liumei was unexpectedly overcome with a feeling of longing.

She wants that fulcrum that can move the world!

Thinking it through, Wang Liumei was about to step forward and strike up a conversation to see if she could gain anything.

Just then, a gentle boarding announcement sounded in the waiting area of ​​the Tianzhu Rail Elevator.

As the gates slowly opened, the crowd began to move forward in an orderly fashion.
