Ace Of Terrans

239 Romance.



Shi Lang and Amelia had no trouble with the vehicle. The boy drove the car at a cruising speed, The manor had a dedicated road network that allowed the residents to move around the place and connect to the beach. The distance between the beach and the manor was around twenty kilometers, which was enough for them to enjoy a long drive.

Amelia had let down the window and the breeze tussled her hair. Shi Lang looked at her from the side, lost in her serene beauty he let go of a hand on his steering and turned slightly to have a proper look at the young lady.

Amelia blushed slightly but she did not shy away from his gaze. It was as if Shi Lang would eat her up. She asked, “What are you doing, focus on the road.”

Shi Lang knew that she just wanted him to turn his gaze away, he replied with a smile, “Do you think with my skills, we will crash? I just want to look at your smile for as long as possible.”

Amelia stuck out her tongue at him and said, “You are really glib-tongued, but I like it. Tell me why are you like this?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “Is it not your charm that I have become like this?”

He was completely giving up restraints and flirting with Amelia. Watching that the girl did not intend to answer him, Shi Lang asked, “You remember how we met?”

Amelia nodded and the corner of her lips tilted upwards, Shi Lang continued, “Why did you sneak up on me?”

“Huh, you think too much of yourself, I came in to practice while using my abilities. It was a method to increase my power and get some me time, I had no idea you would be there.”, replied Amelia.

She just stated that Shi Lang was being narcissistic. The young man chuckled to cover up his embarrassment, but then he heard Amelia say, “Why were you so curt to me at that time, and later on you did not even protest to our parents about the engagement? Are you not too sleazy? Getting me was too easy for you.”

Shi Lang rolled his eyes, and replied, “I did not put up a protest because I knew that I will not find someone better than you. Why will I go for a lesser person over the one who can bring out the best in me?”

His casual tone did not hide the compliment and Amelia smiled beautifully. The young man asked, “You could have put up some protest, Miss Fiance, back then, why did you not do it?”

Amelia snorted and said, “Just gave you a chance.”

Shi Lang simply smiled and gave up on probing deeper. Amelia will not tell him that she simply liked him because he was able to sense her during invisibility. Also, the talent he displayed later was something even more outstanding, and which girl disliked talented men?

The two people drove to the shore and Amelia sighed, “How beautiful is the horizon?”

Shi Lang smiled and opened the door, he got out of the car. Amelia was looking at the landscape from inside the car, she only got off the car when the young man opened the door for her and took her by the hand. He hugged her waist and just stood there looking at her.

The soldiers keeping a watch from the distance sighed and said, “Captain, I also want this with my boyfriend.”

The captain replied, “Yeah, me too, but too bad we are single. Now focus on the task, or Minister Ameris will have our heads.”

The team of women chuckled and began to pay attention to the sight again.

Shi Lang and Amelia were romancing by the beach. The grains of golden sand and the blue water formed an amazing contrast. The skies were filled with patches of white cotton. Shi Lang stood at the side with his jeans folded up to his calves, while Amelia walked in the waves. Shi Lang had deployed a video camera to record this.

He was wearing blue jeans and a white shirt, while Amelia was wearing a blue skirt with white flowers printed on it. They were both dressed simply yet looking very eye pleasing. Amelia hopped over to Shi Lang’s side and locked hands with him. They clicked pictures with each other in various poses.

Shi Lang stole a kiss when he thought Amelia was distracted and her reaction was priceless. Suddenly, Amelia asked, “Lang, you always say that you like my smile, right?”

Shi Lang nodded with a faint smile on his lips and said, “Yes.”

Amelia asked him with a slightly cheeky expression, “What if one day, I stopped smiling for you?”

Shi Lang was surprised, and then he came to stand in front of her and leaned down while looking into her eyes. Amelia did not expect him to react this way, the usually calm boy, could not hide the panic deep inside his eyes. She raised her arms and hooked them around his neck and wanted to kiss him, but the young man did not kiss her lips.

He ticked her slightly with his fingers around her waist and pecked the corner of her lips. He whispered in her ears, “There, I locked your smile, now you will keep smiling.”

His deep low voice, made Amelia freeze, she did not expect this guy to say something so warm. She felt her stomach was filled with butterflies at this moment. She kissed him back, and when the two were expressing their love, suddenly, Shi Lang opened his eyes wide and broke away from the kiss, he picked up the surprised Amelia in his arms like a princess and ran.

Amelia was shocked, she did not understand why was Shi Lang running away, that too at his fastest speed. She wanted to ask what was going on but she heard Shi Lang speaking in the communicator. “This is Ace, I need immediate fire support. We are under attack. The enemy is using a flying vessel to engage.”

His words had just dropped and Shi Lang suddenly changed directions and a loud explosion sounded behind him. The impact of the blast left a huge crater on the beach, Amelia looked back and found that the spot was now left with molten glass.

The scouts in the car also reacted and called Ameris without a delay. They were shocked when radars alerted them, just before they were about to alert Shi Lang, the man had run away already. The only thing they could do now was to call Ameris.

At this moment, the security team was standing, and when the captain received the message directly from Shi Lang, they all moved into action. Not only them but the Neomonian team had taken action a few moments quicker.

The ship took off and headed right to the beach, where Shi Lang’s communicator was being located. They will reach the distance in thirty seconds, but those thirty seconds were going to spell the difference of life and death to Shi Lang.

Ameris was sitting on a couch with the family of her idol chatting casually when she got the news. She jumped up into action and gave instructions, at the same time, she told The Empress about the situation.

The rest of the people also got the news. General Charlotte and Hayley’s mother had their personal guard detail in the stand-by security team, they told them the news when they were checked on their status and decided to come over to provide security. General Edwards was the same. When Shi John and the rest of the family received the news they were shocked, Luna almost fainted.

The situation was a chaos of emotions and reactions.

Shi Lang was running along the road with Amelia in his arms. The girl said, “Let me go, I can keep up with you, it will save your energy and we can be faster.”

“You will not be able to sense their attacks, and even a momentary lapse in reaction will lead to death. I cannot let anything happen to you. Never.”, said Shi Lang.

The girl had tears in her eyes because the attacks were getting closer to their position and the precision of timing was increasing with every passing shot from the cannons of the fighter ships. Shi Lang said, “Fifteen seconds. Count them.”

He could not let Amelia’s emotions get in the way, if she did something stupid, then the situation might escalate even more. The girl counted with her throat. She knew they will not be able to last for fifteen seconds against these fighter ships. This was simply a fantasy, the system on board the ships could re-calibrate the weapon system to improve it and that was something they could not beat, no matter how strong or fast Shi Lang was, he was a Terran.

However, as time passed, the hope to get away become bigger, the fifteen seconds that were never too much, today felt like decades. With each passing second, hope to survive brought stress of death. Amelia was worried about how long can Shi Lang run faster than his limit.

In the last moments, Shi Lang suddenly urged his spiritual energy to cast a shield around them and used the nanobots on his body to cover Amelia. The last beam of phasor canon hit them with a boom…
