Chapter 149: 089 Welcome back to the team【Five More Updates!】
A lie requires a hundred lies to sustain.
Yang Ming finally realized the true essence of this saying.
Three days after the New Federation Agent elimination battle, about the event of him being attacked by missiles, three versions of lies had now surfaced:
High-tech bionic robot escaping;
An empty ‘monster’ hover vehicle;
And the most absurd one—blown up, but not dead.
The first lie was a tale Edwan told to the Old Emperor and also communicated to the Sherman Empire’s intelligence department.
The second lie, was Yang Ming fooling Edwan and Gudun Mah.
The third lie was a masterpiece, currently ongoing, concocted by Edwan in an attempt to fool Miss Windsor.
Outside the isolation ward of this unremarkable hospital, Miss Windsor’s eyes were brimming with tears as she gazed at Yang Ming on the hospital bed, biting her lower lip gently, unable to help but sigh softly.
“Thank you… Your Highness, thank you! Are his injuries severe?”
“No need to thank me, Miss Windsor.”
Edwan stated gravely:
“We found Yang Ming by the seaside to prevent the New Federation Agents from causing him secondary harm, I decided to temporarily withhold this news.
“I’m sorry for not informing you in time.
“His injuries aren’t worrying, his heart and brain are intact, that’s not a big problem… You also need to keep this confidential, can you manage that?”
Miss Windsor quickly responded, “I will! Can, can I go in and see him?”
“Oh, it’s best not to,” Edwan kept shaking his head, “This is a sterile negative pressure ward, and he has just undergone surgery, it was… very high-tech that kind of surgery robot helped him complete it, basically…”
“He is so pitiful.”
Miss Windsor lamented:
“Those agents are filled with sin! Why are they targeting Yang Ming? He is clearly so kind.”
“Kind? Oh, yes! He is kind… but this is war, this is the war between the New Federation and the Sherman Empire, the New Federation chose our country as the battlefield, Miss Windsor, this is not something we can choose.”
Edwan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He should cultivate a few more reliable confidants.
Next time there’s such a task, he can let them handle it, he really isn’t good at dealing with such scenes!
Eventually, after Miss Windsor watched over him for a while, she was forcefully persuaded to leave by a protection team sent by the Finance Minister.
—Nowadays Ilando City was in turmoil, Miss Windsor was also placed under house arrest, and could not stay outside for long.
This made Edwan breathe a sigh of relief.
After the Second Prince personally escorted Miss Windsor away and returned to the hospital room guarded by Mechanical Guards and attended by an intelligent nurse; Edwan leaned close to the window to take a peek inside, and immediately flew into a rage.
Yang Ming, who was bandaged like a mummy, was currently lounging with his legs crossed, nibbling on expensive imported fruits with the part of his mouth that was exposed, savoring them deliciously.
Edwan pushed open the door and barged in, activating the room’s shielding device, and immediately started scolding:
“A Prince like me has to break the gentleman’s code and lie to a beautiful lady! And here you are, so leisurely! You’ve made Miss Windsor very worried! She is your little sweetheart! Not mine!”
“So,” Yang Ming spread his hands, “I’m the one who caused the current situation? I’m the victim of a missile attack.”

“You should be kinder to Miss Windsor, at the very least.”
Edwan then made himself look very weak, his eyes becoming slightly blurred, filled with longing for this life, his voice trembling as he said:
“I, I love you… even though my life is soon to part, all I think of, all I cherish, is you…”
Yang Ming, his forehead creased with lines: “Be serious, Edwan, why don’t you become a theater actor?”
Edwan snapped his fingers, his hands pointing at Yang Ming: “How did you know my dream from ten years ago?”
Yang Ming forcefully brought the topic back to important matters: “What’s the reaction from the New Federation?”
“Er,” Edwan sat back on the bench nearby, grabbed a piece of fruit and took a bite, “This fruit basket is really nice… Their reaction is very intense, yet restrained. You should have seen the news, a fleet of two kilometer-scale main battle ships from the New Federation has already arrived near our Star Domain, their diplomats are exerting extreme pressure on us, announcing that they will sanction us from all sides.”
Yang Ming puzzledly said: “Isn’t it them who sent spy agents to our place for assassinations? We eliminated agents and spies within our territory, it’s completely legal self-defense! And they still want to sanction us?”
Edwan grimaced: “They claim to the outside world that we’ve violated the Human Rights Charter, breached the Milky Way’s moral convention, creating a humanitarian tragedy. They insist that among those more than a thousand people, only a few dozen served the New Federation’s national security departments, all others were normal business elites.”
Yang Ming cursed, then asked: “Did you release the video I gave you?”
“Of course, it’s released, it’s full of Federation Soldiers, Federation Soldiers who got wiped out, our people carried away their bodies and weapons.”
Edwan laughed:
“This video topped the hot search in Sherman Empire-affiliated countries, there was no news about it in New Federation-affiliated countries… Oh right, I remember why I came here, I have two pieces of good news to share with you!”
“What?”
“The first piece of good news, the Sherman Empire’s 079 Squadron appeared near the New Federation Fleet, both sides have already started confronting.
“The Sherman Empire just announced that they will provide us a reduction of 365 billion Empire Coins in annual silver and an additional 300 billion Empire Coins in military sales, essentially giving us a batch of their decommissioned weapons.”
