Soon under Hu Rong's driving the three of them arrived at the Shanghai Hyper Airport which was one of the first and now one of the largest Hyper Airports on the planet.

Hyper, this was the greatest invention of the 22nd century. It was so great that even now in the 23rd century, the world was so reliant on Hyper that everything from Homes, to Cars, and Planes to Weapons relied on Hyper.

Hyper, the name of the energy which changed the face of the Earth and replaced Crude Oil as the largest energy source of the planet. However, unlike Crude Oil, Hyper was not a resource that would get exhausted with over use, since it was literally the kind of energy which could never run out.

The only drawback of Hyper was that large amount of energy created from it couldn't be stored, this just like it sounds meant that Hyper was alternatively produced and consumed.

Hyper was not the product of created energy, but was a small chip which would harvest Hyper particles in the molecular scale to produce huge amounts of Hyper energy for their immediate usage. Thus, if anything ever happened to the Hyper chip of a running airplane the plane in the next moment would plummet down if it it doesn't have another source of energy to rely on.

However, all things said, Hyper was still the best energy source humanity had found since the period of gun powder and oil.

...

Arriving at the Shanghai Hyper Airport, Hu Rong stopped the car and stepped out of it, however before she could open the back door and let out Long Yu, a hand appeared out of nowhere and held onto hers stopping it in the middle.

Shocked that she didn't discover another presence, Hu Rong was just about to pull out her twin daggers, but was stopped due to the voice which spoke in directly into her ears.

"Don't bother trying to resist, if I wanted you dead, you'd already be dead."

Turning around Hu Rong was no longer surprised when she saw the woman who was holding her hand was Tsukiko Akane, because not many females were there who were stronger than her on the planet. And out of them, only one was very close to her.

"You don't need to wake him up, he was coming here to drop me off anyway."

Saying so, Akane let go of Hu Rong's hand pointing towards the inside of the car where Long Yu was curled up like a ball and sleeping.

"The little guy has been through a lot of things, and though he acts all calm and tough he's burdened with the fear of betrayal very much that he doesn't trust many people even after knowing them for years. Well, not that I could blame him. The poor boy spent many years in a hospital because his own family were not willing to help him, and finally they even tried to kill him and seize the only thing which was keeping him alive. Sigh... "

Having said till here Akane heavily sighed and shook her head causing her long black hair to shake with her while a depressing smile appeared on her small thin lips and sadness in her brown colored eyes. However, even if Akane looked so sad and pitiful that she looked to be needing a shoulder to rest on, no one in their sane mind would try to get close to her, cause that ultimately may lead to their deaths when she recovers.

Hearing the tragic past of Long Yu, a complicated expression appeared on Hu Rong's face because she never experienced the thing called family and thus couldn't understand what he went through. But still as someone who experienced betrayal at its finest, she knew how tough it was to trust others.

"There's one thing I'll say before leaving, Long Yu always thinks he's got everything in control and many times over estimates himself and those around him. Now that's all fine in the Virtual world since that really wouldn't effect his life, but if he ever does something in real life where he's pushing himself and you to the limit and you feel like you might not handle his safety make sure to give me a call, I'll come and give a helping hand. He very rarely calls me for help, even today I had to make an excuse of being in town to hitch a ride with him, if not I don't know what would've happened if you didn't appear like you were supposed to. Sigh... Anyway, drive that sleepy head home, the address is saved in the navigation panel."

Saying so Akane tapped her phone on Hu Rong's battle suit's recieve, after which she turned around and began walking away at the same she also lifted a sake bottle and began drinking it staying true to her name as the Drunken Blade Mistress.

Pulling her phone out, Hu Rong saw what Akane shared with her. Unlocking the phone she saw that Akane shared a note with her.

[My number - XXXXXXXXXX

Don't hesitate to contact me if you ever need my help

P.S- If you ever even as much as think of betraying Long Yu I'll make sure you regret even being born.

Akane]

Reading this note would regardless of the person who it was, once they knew who wrote that they would've definitely paled from fear. But being a SSS Ranked Fighter even if the other party was a Z Ranked fighter, Hu Rong who had already been threatened by one of them didn't seriously take Akane's warning, because she never had any intention of betraying him anyway.

Getting back inside the car, she chose the home option on navigation panel and began driving to Long Yu's residence.
