Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 388 - 103: Three-Way Meeting! You Know Yu Jin? That’s My Son... (2)

"Mm."

In the light screen, Athena responded casually.

She turned to look at her true target for this trip.

It was the second light screen, the light screen of the ’weak fleet’ in the starry sky.

In the light screen, a middle-aged woman’s face was displayed.

Her appearance was somewhat ordinary.

As for her demeanor...

At first glance, she looked more like a regular housewife than a fleet leader.

"Miss Selena!"

Cao Fang’s voice emerged from the light screen.

In front of her, there were also two light screens, one showing Selena and the other Athena.

However, she didn’t know the latter, and the person she addressed was indeed Civilization Lord Selena.

"Lady Athena!"

"This is the person I mentioned..."

"The fleet leader who may have information about ’Yu Jin’, the Lone Wolf player."

Facing Cao Fang’s address, Selena, as the Civilization Lord, did not behave too courteously; instead, she looked at Athena throughout and reported the situation in a low voice.

As the words fell.

Swish—

Across the two light screens.

Athena and Cao Fang seemed to stare at each other through the void.

For the moment, the atmosphere was silent.

Selena also unconsciously held her breath.

...

...

"Yu Jin?"

"Xiaojin?"

Inside the warship command cabin.

When Cao Fang heard Selena’s report to Athena, although she remained expressionless, a storm surged in her heart.

Yu Jin?

Wasn’t this the son she had been yearning for and searching everywhere?

Moreover...

Unexpectedly.

Yu Jin, Old Yu, and her younger son Yu Chen should all be together.

Finding Yu Jin meant finding the other two.

Finding Yu Jin meant a true family reunion!

"Athena?"

"A name I’ve never heard..."

"Maybe it’s a stronger faction than the advanced civilization?"

"Judging from Selena’s words, it seems she is looking for Yu Jin..."

Various thoughts raced through Cao Fang’s mind.

At this moment, she still didn’t know Athena’s true identity.

Nor had she confirmed whether the ’Yu Jin’ mentioned by the three was the same person.

Until...

Swish—!

Within the light screen.

After a moment of silence, Athena suddenly waved her hand.

Behind her, an image appeared...

The image was incredibly detailed, recreated using the highest technology of the Ophelia Federation, Yu Jin’s appearance.

At first glance.

The first look might even mistake the image for a lifelike projection of a real person!

"Xiaojin!"

At the moment the image appeared.

Cao Fang, who had been maintaining a composed posture, subconsciously uttered a soft call.

Just as the soft call fell.

Cao Fang felt uneasy in her heart.

On the other side.

Athena was frozen in place.

Selena widened her eyes, both surprised and delighted.

"Xiaojin?"

In the light screen.

After coming back to her senses, Athena’s gaze towards Cao Fang changed repeatedly.

"You know him?"

"You know Yu Jin?"

Athena’s tone was rarely tinged with urgency.

And Cao Fang, after the initial mistake of seeing her son’s portrait, fell silent once more, saying nothing.

At this moment.

She had not yet figured out what exactly was happening.

Why this person named ’Athena’ was looking for her son and whether it would harm him?

"..."

Cao Fang remained silent.

Yet, because of her reaction, Athena’s expression changed again.

Thump thump—

As the daughter of the Federation’s chief speaker, she could even clearly hear the increasingly rapid beating of her own heart at this moment...

Heaven have mercy!

She had traversed dozens of Star System Wasteland servers, searching painstakingly for Yu Jin for so long.

After countless futile searches.

This time...

She seemed truly hopeful!

At the very least.

Athena could be certain—

In all the previous meetings with informants, no one had reacted the way Cao Fang just did.

Especially that one word, ’Xiaojin’!

Instinct told Athena—

Cao Fang was definitely not pretending; she truly knew Yu Jin.

There might even be a very special connection between them!

At this moment.

Aboard the warship Athena.

Behind Athena.

Ah Long and Don Flack also had tense expressions on their faces, filled with both anticipation and anxiety.

They witnessed Cao Fang’s reaction just now with their own eyes.

Their intuition and judgment were identical to Athena’s!

The whereabouts of Yu Jin...

might finally be surfacing!

"Whew—"

The silence, carrying a somewhat oppressive atmosphere, was finally broken by a long exhale from Athena.

"Captain Cao Fang, correct?"

She looked at Cao Fang on the light screen.

Cao Fang’s expression was inscrutable—an intentional cover-up, albeit not a sophisticated one.

"I am Athena, from the Ophelia Federation."

"The Ophelia Federation is a High-Dimensional Federation above the Star System Wasteland."

After guessing that Cao Fang might know Yu Jin’s whereabouts or even have a certain connection with him, Athena’s tone became much more courteous.

This courteous attitude was something not even shown to Selena, the Civilization Lord of the Glowing Civilization.

And this scene.

was also being noticed by Selena.

However.

She did not feel disheartened; rather, she was extremely overjoyed!

It wasn’t just her.

The upper echelons of the Glowing Civilization forces at the meeting table were also filled with intense anticipation.

"Hmm."

From the light screen came an uninterested response from Cao Fang.

Currently, she and the fleet she commands are still too weak in front of Athena and Selena.

The situation leaves her no choice; Cao Fang cannot ignore them for long.

"You know Yu Jin, don’t you?"

"It’s the person in this image in front of me..."

"His name is Yu Jin, his exact origin is unknown, but he is very young, immensely powerful, mysterious, and has a terrifying talent..."

A string of adjectives spilled out of Athena’s mouth.

Listening to this, the tension and worry inside Cao Fang quietly dissipated a lot.

"It seems..."

"They aren’t people who harbor ill intent towards Xiaojin?"

"It sounds more like kindness?"

This was Cao Fang’s judgment, but her face remained impassive.

To Athena’s question, she did not provide a definitive answer but responded with silence.

And this reaction.

made the hope within Athena burn even more brightly.

"Captain Cao Fang."

"Here’s the thing..."

"I once met Yu Jin in ’Wasteland OL’..."

"His talent and strength are extremely outstanding, even within the entire Ophelia Federation, he is a true genius and monster..."

"And my father, the chief chairman of the Ophelia Federation, holds him in high regard too!"

"Not long from now, more precisely, in ten months, a new round of the cosmic genius battle is about to commence..."

"My father, myself, and the entire Ophelia Federation deeply hope that Yu Jin can represent the Federation in this cosmic genius battle..."

"It would not only provide him with a greater stage to showcase his talent in front of various civilizations and federations across the universe, but it would also bring immense rewards and returns for him, the Federation, and countless citizens of the Federation!"

"..."

Athena spoke a lot in one breath.

She even roughly recounted her encounter with Yu Jin in ’Wasteland OL’.

If other citizens of the Ophelia Federation saw this scene, they would probably be shocked senseless on the spot.

After all...

This is the daughter of the Federation’s chief chairman!

Who else could compel her to keep explaining and persuading in such a manner?

Time slowly passed.

Only after quite a while.

did Athena finally stop speaking.

At this moment.

Cao Fang was completely moved by Athena’s words.

"So..."

"Captain Cao Fang."

"You do know Yu Jin, don’t you?"

For the third time, Athena asked this question.

Her tone was incredibly earnest, carrying a touch of respect.

"Hmm."

This time, Cao Fang finally responded.

After a brief silence.

Cao Fang added:

"Xiaojin is my son."

Such simple words.

Just six words in total.

left Athena completely stunned.

made Ah Long and Don Flack open their eyes wide.

made Civilization Lord Selena’s skin crawl!
