Counterfeit Hero

But she just couldn’t fight with him. Every time she stormed off in anger, yet again... Audrey was very annoyed, she had never met anyone in the world who could completely beat her like this!

Actually, Fatty’s thoughts were simple: without desires, one is strong. I don’t rely on you to survive, nor do I want to date you, why should I take crap from you? Anyone daring to play tricks in front of me shall be knocked down!

The modifications of [Apollo] were essentially complete. The modifications that could be done during the journey were only these, if further modification was needed, they’d have to undergo large-scale overhaul at a maintenance dock. But that’s clearly unnecessary, as of now, this ship is enough to handle all smuggling situations as long as it doesn’t run head-on into pirates or military vessels. Once the radar detects enemies, evasion can basically guarantee escape.

The modification of [Apollo], apart from killing time during the journey, was most importantly for giving Ann Lei another chance to return safely to the Federation. Thinking of Ann Lei made Fatty’s heart ache faintly. Whether it was Ann Lei or Milan, he had no choice. Milan had made her choice and he couldn’t refuse. And Ann Lei, in the end, would make her choice. No matter what, since he promised Mr. Ann, he must bring Ann Lei back safely even if it kills him. Protecting her is his responsibility, whether near or far, as a lover or friend. This responsibility is something he can never abandon.

[Apollo] flew alone through the vast universe. After the modification was done, Tian Xingjian seemed to have no goals again and started frequenting the bar. Luckily, no crew member dared to provoke him. Everyone knew that Eric had been exiled for offending this Fatty who lived next door to the ship captain. The Power Cabin supervisor Ivan always treated this Fatty with utmost respect. No crew member dared to risk their life on this smuggling ship, no matter how they couldn’t understand why Old Ivan and Audrey favored this Fatty so much.

Audrey sat next to Fatty, and they were the only two in the bar. With a week left until they reached Mezrich, Audrey decided to seize this chance to make this Fatty named Zhang Yuan stay. If he stayed, the benefits were obvious, and as for harms, at most she would die from anger two years earlier.

The red wine swirled in the clear glass, Tian Xingjian looked at the woman holding a goblet. Her charm was rather unique, sometimes making it difficult to tell her age, whether she was a naïve girl or a mature charm-filled woman. Especially when drinking, Audrey naturally exuded a mature attraction, full of grace and allure. Maybe it was a temperament developed from traveling far and wide on the smuggling ship since childhood.

Seeing Zhang Yuan staring at her intently, Audrey felt slightly embarrassed and annoyed. She glared fiercely at Fatty, saying, "What are you looking at? I dare you to marry me!"

Fatty hastily drank his wine. Ever since he had flirted with Audrey only to have her flirt back unrestrainedly, Audrey had totally mastered his weakness. Like a legendary hero who fears dragons, he has the intent but no guts. Even though he looks lecherous all day and likes to "flirt", if you proactively offer it to him, he runs faster than a rabbit.

Audrey gave a satisfied smile, cast an even more coquettish glance at Fatty, and softly said, "Brother Zhang..." Before she finished her sentence, goosebumps already covered the floor from Fatty, who quickly waved his hand and said, "Speak properly if you have something to say." Audrey didn’t relent, lightly nudged Fatty with her elbow, and dragged out her voice to act coy, only to see his eyes bulge in a fierce glare as he shouted, "Use that voice again, and I’ll beat you!"
