Unfortunately, at the time, Kexiao had no desire to hear anything about Xiu Yi. To such clichéd talk, Kexiao placed more emphasis on being down-to-earth, believing more in creating the future with his own hands, rather than entrusting his hope for the future to someone else, especially to someone as wise as Feng Yi.
Unless, he had no opportunity to create the future, unless, he...
At that thought, Kexiao's body trembled violently!
But upon hearing that it was Xiu Yi, the murderous aura quietly dissipated, and he calmly asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why are you piloting his Mecha, and where has Feng Yi gone?"
Xiu Yi was not unaware of the relationship between Brother Feng and Kexiao—they were both mortal enemies and cherished rivals. Despite his wish to become stronger, when Kexiao asked about that matter, a hint of a choke still surfaced in Xiu Yi's voice.
"Feng, Brother Feng, he..."
Kexiao's mind was exceedingly sharp, and from just the fragments of Xiu Yi's speech, he instantly realized something, and his eyes suddenly hardened! What he desired was to fight the Revenge Shadow Rider, and without the Revenge Shadow Rider, what meaning did the battle itself hold?
"You don't have to answer me right now." To prevent any further complications, Kexiao rushed to stop Xiu Yi from speaking further...
The crowd outside had no idea what was happening. It looked like the two were communicating, but the dialogue seemed to be dragging on a bit too long, didn't it? The crowd immediately started to buzz with speculation...
It looked like Kexiao was considering something, and after hesitating for quite a while, he suddenly retracted his light saber, the Silver Spear deftly spinning in the air before being held in his hand. He said, "This battle is over now."
The audience was stunned by Savior's surprising declaration, followed by an uproar beneath the platform... What happened, were they not fighting fiercely just moments ago, why suddenly declare the battle over?
Unfortunately, Kexiao paid no mind to the surrounding spectators. What did the feelings of the people of the world mean to him? He simply looked at the black Mecha peacefully and said, "I'll be waiting for you on the Dragon Gate Heavenly Platform."
Once he finished speaking, Kexiao ignored his surroundings, and with the roar of Savior's engines, he vanished into the sky in an instant...
The crowd below exploded with confusion. Why had this happened? Hadn't Savior always been looking forward to fighting the Revenge Shadow Rider? Why did he suddenly leave, or did he choose to forfeit?
The stands plunged into chaos as many people from the Saudi sector and other world powers tried to break through the security barrier. They couldn't accept such an end to the fight. It far exceeded the public's expectations, that the most anticipated battle could end in such a way.
The Saudi officials were caught completely off guard by Kexiao's sudden action. However, faced with a flurry of communication requests from various bigwigs, Kexiao didn't accept any of them. Minutes later, he stood alone on the Heavenly Platform of Dragon Gate, atop the space station's highest peak, staring at the vast galaxy, lost in a daze...
It was only now that Kexiao still didn't dare, nor could he, determine the intent behind Xiu Yi's use of the word 'already'...
This highest platform in Saudi was a place Kexiao often liked to visit. Ordinarily, people had no right to be there, but when Xiu Yi came, nobody tried to stop him; the way was completely open—although his three companions had been detained by Saudi military personnel on the lower level.
Soon after, as the last electronic door silently parted from the center, Xiu Yi was suddenly faced with Kexiao standing with his hands behind his back. Even though Kexiao was facing away from him, and the distance was not far, Xiu Yi couldn't help but feel an immense distance between them.
Kexiao's voice came from afar to near, "Is that you, Xiu Yi?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"Are you Feng Yi's successor?" Slowly turning around, Kexiao looked at Xiu Yi with a complex gaze, observing him warily surveying the surroundings. Kexiao added, "Don't worry, there is no one else here but us."
Reassured by these words, Xiu Yi nodded seriously, "Yes, Brother Feng taught me a lot, and in the end, he entrusted the Mecha to me."
"He's no longer with us, is he?"
"Yes," Xiu Yi said, wiping away tears with his sleeve.
"I see..." Upon receiving Xiu Yi's affirmative reply, Kexiao's body involuntarily swayed slightly, "But why would he die? There are few in the world who could kill him, was it natural death?"
"No, Brother Feng was murdered, sob, he was killed by..."
Kexiao raised his hand to interrupt Xiu Yi from continuing, "I know. You don't have to lament to me, nor do you have to tell me who killed him. Don't forget, you are Feng Yi's successor. You must take responsibility for anything you face and strive to achieve your goals through your own efforts."
Xiu Yi didn't object to Kexiao's words but asked, "Did you come to find me just to confirm Brother Feng's death?"
"Yes, and now you can leave. Before you are truly able to pilot that Mecha, I advise you not to ride it frequently. Of course, I won't be seeking a challenge from you in the future."
Xiu Yi was somewhat puzzled by Kexiao's words, but he didn't linger. He turned and left the empty hall, leaving Kexiao alone, lost in endless thought...
He just left like that? As opponents, as mortal enemies, although they were at odds, they also cherished their camaraderie. Yet when the day finally arrived to truly settle their score, he suddenly realized that a familiar old friend had bowed out in such a desolate manner, leaving behind a permanent regret.
"Feng Yi, ah Feng Yi, how could someone of your stature die at the hands of the rabble."
