Chapter 205 - Coincidental Encounter
Chapter 205: Coincidental Encounter
“What’s the old saying? Speak of the devil… Yes, speak of the devil.”
As Chu Nan muttered in his mind, he walked towards the “familiar” figure and waved his hand.
“Heh, Dunleavy, what a coincidence.”
Dunleavy was originally talking to a middle-aged man beside him in a low voice when he suddenly heard someone call his name. He was stunned for a moment before he raised his head and looked around in confusion before discovering Chu Nan.
“Heh, Chu Nan, what a coincidence. You’re now…” Dunleavy’s gaze swept past Chu Nan’s clothes. His eyes darted around and he smiled, “I understand. The public recruitment of Star Cloud Academy is about to begin. You’re planning to go to Earth to participate in the test, right?”
Chu Nan laughed and gave Dunleavy a thumbs up.
“Smart. That’s right, I plan to go to Earth now. What about you?”
“Ha, what a coincidence. I’m also planning to make a trip to Earth.”
“Oh? To visit your sister?”
“No, it’s mainly because of serious matters.” Dunleavy shook his head, “Of course, since I’m going to Earth, I’ll definitely visit my sister. It’s been a few months since I last saw her. Although we can often meet through remote communication, I feel that something is missing without seeing it with my own eyes.”
“Yes, I understand. Previously, when I was studying in West Cloud Academy, I would feel this every time I contacted my family remotely.” Chu Nan nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged man beside Dunleavy suddenly coughed lightly, “Dunleavy, he’s the Chu Nan you mentioned before?”
Chu Nan looked at him in surprise.
This middle-aged man had a square face and a stiff expression. His exposed skin was filled with muscles, and his entire body was filled with an explosive strength. One could not help but exclaim in their hearts, “Tough guy.”
Most importantly, he was wearing the standard uniform of a Federation Army officer, reflecting his high military status. From the looks of it, he might be an important figure in the Federation Army on Planet Macaw.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce him. Uncle Mengory, he’s Chu Nan. You should know him. I’ve mentioned him to you before.”
After introducing Chu Nan, Dunleavy introduced him again, “This is my father’s adjutant, Mengory. He’s going to Earth with me to do something. Right, he’s a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist.”
Chu Nan immediately felt deep veneration.
As a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist, those who were still serving in the Federation Army were all important officers in the Federation Army. This Mengory’s status in the Federation Army on Planet Macaw was definitely not low.
From the fact that he was Dunleavy’s father’s adjutant, it could be deduced that Dunleavy was indeed from a large family. His father should be an important figure in the Federation Army.
“Senior… Mengory, hello.” Chu Nan stretched out his hands.
Mengory revealed a warm smile and shook Chu Nan’s hand.
“Chu Nan, I’ve seen your competition in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition. I like the scene where you defeated Maruk very much. Not only is it because you taught that brat from the Kingdom of Kexley a lesson, but it’s also because I admire the spirit you show in risking your life.”
“You’re too kind.” Chu Nan smiled, “I actually did not really risk my life. Although I looked so miserable at that time, I only did that because I was confident that my life would not be in danger. In the end, it’s only a competition, right? I don’t have to risk my life.”
Mengory was stunned and looked at Chu Nan with a strange expression. The words he had prepared to continue praising him were blocked.
Seeing the expression on his face, Dunleavy laughed.
“Uncle Mengory, I’ve long told you that Chu Nan is a very interesting person. I’m afraid he’s different from what you imagine. See, I’m right, right?”
Mengory smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You’re right. This kid… Alright, I can’t say that he’s wrong. That’s right, it’s only a competition. There’s really no need to risk your life for this.”
Dunleavy smiled and turned to Chu Nan, “Since you’re also going to Earth, you should be on the same spaceship as us, right?”
Chu Nan took out the space class and compared it. It was indeed the same class.
“Yes, the spaceship is about to take off. Why don’t we chat slowly after boarding?” Dunleavy waved his hand and walked towards the waiting hall.
“Dunleavy, he…” Mengory was a little strange, but when he saw Chu Nan follow without any hesitation, he shook his head and did not say anything.
When he saw that Chu Nan had actually entered the VIP room, he felt even more strange.
Chu Nan was clearly from an ordinary family, so how could he enter the VIP room?
After the spaceship took off, Chu Nan entered the luxurious cabin of the spaceship with the two of them.
When Chu Nan entered his room to put down his luggage, he asked Dunleavy the question in his mind.
The answer he received from Dunleavy surprised him.
“Star VIP of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce? How is that possible?!” Mengory looked at Chu Nan’s VIP room in surprise with disbelief, “How did he become a Star VIP?”
Dunleavy shrugged. “Don’t ask me. I don’t know. If he doesn’t say, I can’t ask.”
Mengory thought for a moment, then frowned.
“This Chu Nan… seems to have many things hidden on him. Dunleavy, you have to be more careful when you interact with him.”
“Uncle Mengory, you’re thinking too much. Through my last contact with him, I confirmed that he’s actually a very simple person and not as complicated as you think. As for what’s hidden… who doesn’t have some secrets?”
Mengory shook his head lightly, clearly disapproving of Dunleavy’s words, but he did not say anything else.
After a while, Chu Nan put down his luggage and arrived at the room of Mengory and Dunleavy.
“Chu Nan, since you want to register for Star Cloud Academy on Earth, does that prove that you’ve already passed the initial assessment on the Purple Cloud Planet?” Dunleavy was the first to open the topic.
“Yes, the initial assessment was not difficult.”
Dunleavy and Mengory naturally did not think that Chu Nan was bragging.
With the standard Chu Nan had displayed, it would be strange if he could not pass the initial assessment.
“How’s the situation of your Purple Cloud Planet’s initial assessment?” Dunleavy asked again, “Did they use up all 500 spots?”
“I’m not too sure. I only know that there were 287 examinees who passed the initial assessment at my location. In the end, the review test decided that the final hundred examinees would pass.” Chu Nan glanced at Dunleavy in confusion, “Why do you ask?”
Dunleavy and Mengory looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
“As expected.”
