He is a friend from work. (did you get the reference?)
*****************************
In the next moment, Zane suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the approaching person, with dazzling light radiating from his fingertips once again.
Zane guessed the visitor's purpose immediately.
It was nothing more than an attempt to negotiate, to quell his anger or buy time.
Sorry, Zane wasn't in the mood to waste time with these people.
The so-called rule of not harming envoys during wartime didn't apply to Zane.
If negotiations could solve problems, why would Zane pursue power?
However, upon seeing the visitor's face clearly, the light on Zane's fingertips quietly dissipated, and his expression became strange.
It had only been a few days, and Zane still remembered this girl who had made him slightly embarrassed before.
Could this be the legendary 'fate'?
It was truly marvelous.
When the girl reached Zane, the flying device attached to her back immediately self-destructed, not even giving her a chance to turn back.
"Um... what a coincidence, sir, may I... ask your name?" the girl nervously stammered, trembling in front of Zane as if he might eat her the next moment.
"You can call me Zane. Don't worry, because of our connection, I won't kill you."
"By the way, weren't you the one charging fees at the landing pad? How did you end up here?" Zane asked curiously.
Hearing Zane's words, the girl relaxed a little but was still very nervous.
She quickly recounted her unlucky experiences in detail.
As she spoke, she felt more and more aggrieved, as if the entire world was betraying her.
Finally, she squatted down and cried, making Zane feel extremely awkward.
Wasn't she here to negotiate and calm him down?
Was she trying to reverse the situation, making him comfort her instead?
The negotiation minister and the highest leader of Xandar, monitoring the situation from afar, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zane and the girl communicating.
As long as they could communicate, they were relieved. The highest leader secretly decided to promote the girl and give her a raise once this matter was resolved.
As for the cowardly negotiation minister, he would be demoted to clean toilets.
What use was he, sending a young girl to face this situation?
The girl, seemingly a negotiation genius, started crying, which, though childish, effectively gained the upper hand in the negotiation.
Zane no longer had the cold expression he had initially.
This kind of talent must be utilized!
After crying for three minutes, the girl remembered her mission and looked at Zane pitifully, saying:
"Mr. Zane, can you stop the attack?"
"No!" Zane said firmly.
"Then, can you give us more time? Half an hour is too short."
"No!"
"Alright, stop asking. Sit quietly on the side and wait."
"Okay!"
Sensing Zane's impatience, the girl obediently sat down, not daring to move an inch.
The sensitive girl had already noticed Zane's resolute attitude.
She had completed her assigned task.
Continuing to ask would be courting death.
Time quietly passed as Zane sat meditating on the power of death and the unfortunate girl sat in a daze.
Soon, it was 29 minutes and 30 seconds.
Zane slowly stood up and said to Skynet:
"Skynet, if Rocket and Groot are not found on Xandar within 20 seconds, destroy one city per minute!"
Zane's tone was extremely indifferent, chilling the girl sitting beside him.
Skynet's response was equally indifferent, as if it were a routine task.
Since joining Zane, Skynet had always been satisfactory to Zane, obeying orders perfectly and executing Zane's will flawlessly.
Having such subordinates was very comfortable.
As the auxiliary cannon of the Ark began charging and aiming at a distant city, the girl sitting on the ground received a message.
"Mr. Zane, please wait a moment. The people you're looking for are on their way and will arrive in half a minute!" the girl said anxiously.
But Zane didn't even glance at her, coldly counting down.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
"Time's up, Skynet, fire!"
However, Xandar hadn't been idle. They discovered Zane's intentions through surveillance half a minute earlier.
Immediately, the entire Nova Corps was dispatched.
But their target wasn't the Ark or Zane.
They weren't foolish enough to seek death, considering the previous hundreds of ships had been obliterated by Zane.
Their goal was to intercept the energy projectile aimed at the nearby city.
Countless small ships formed a neat formation in the sky, creating a layered energy shield with their connections.
Thousands of ships formed a three-layered shield, using their bodies to protect the city.
As the Nova Corps formed their defense, the auxiliary cannon completed its charge and fired precisely at the 30-minute mark.
A blinding beam pierced the sky, striking the energy shield formed by the Nova Corps.
The immense kinetic energy dented the first layer of the shield, causing countless ships to shatter and emit ear-piercing metallic screeches.
Fortunately, they held the line and saved the city's inhabitants.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a faint purple hue flashed within the energy beam.
The beam, initially a concentrated column, suddenly expanded, followed by an earth-shattering explosion that reverberated across Xandar.
Glass shattered in countless buildings below, raining sharp shards on the city, causing chaos and panic.
This was just the aftershock!
The Nova Corps, bearing the full brunt of the auxiliary cannon, faced the real devastation.
The first shield layer's ships turned into flying debris in an instant.
