Chapter 2077: Chapter 2077: Light-Year Distance (6)
Back in the day, Marshal Kelly was a fearsome warrior on the frontline. Over the years, he retreated to wield authority from behind the scenes. If not for the final moments, he wouldn’t have needed to return to the front.The many years on the frontline have made Marshal Kelly appear very youthful.
Of course, in the Star Era, human life expectancy has greatly increased, averaging over two hundred years.
Marshal Kelly is already two hundred years old this year, yet he gives off a very amicable vibe, without any sharpness, akin to an elder from next door.
Chuzheng met with him privately, and the conversation was nothing more than why she survived, how she returned, and similar topics already discussed.
"Surviving disaster brings fortune..." Kelly sighed, "I’ve read your resume; it’s impressive. You’re also an Alliance Hero. Rest assured, now that you’re back, we won’t mistreat you."
Chuzheng maintained a respectful yet polite demeanor: "Thank you, Marshal."
"It’s what you deserve," Kelly chuckled, "When I was your age, I couldn’t boast of such accomplishments."
Chuzheng: "..."
The original protagonist achieved such success just to get married.
With the Liang Family’s low status, to gain acknowledgment from the Lu Family, she had to carve out a reputation within the Alliance and earn glory for the Liang Family.
Even if she couldn’t match the Lu Family’s standing, at least she could compel them to relent.
The original protagonist hadn’t anticipated that her sister would ultimately benefit.
"Marshal, the banquet is about to begin," someone entered to remind Kelly.
"Alright, little one, let’s go," Kelly gestured to Chuzheng.
-
Kelly had invited quite a few people, and many arrived with their families, increasing the headcount.
The banquet hall was bustling with glamorous guests exchanging drinks and engaging in lively conversations—who knows their true thoughts?
Kelly appeared with Chuzheng, causing a hush to fall over the room as all eyes turned to the young girl beside him.
Is this the key figure behind their newfound peace?
She looks so young...
Kelly followed protocol with some formal remarks, then introduced Chuzheng, finally urging everyone to enjoy themselves.
Most are here primarily because of Kelly, secondly to see Chuzheng, the ’resurrected’ protagonist.
