The morning light finally broke through the darkness before dawn, casting sunlight across the entire land, as if the brilliance of the Federation enveloped every corner. The early morning always brings hope.
Ye Yu was ultimately granted bail, thanks to Tang Shenshen's video evidence. She happened to be nearby at the time and witnessed the scene. As a professional lawyer, she understood the importance of evidence. Although she couldn't do much at that moment, she made sure to preserve the footage. The video captured the Emaciated Youth attacking Ye Yu and Ye Yu rescuing people from the flames. This was enough to prove that Ye Yu was not the arsonist but rather a hero.
Of course, Ye Yu's control over Mental Power was a significant disadvantage. While the video showed he wasn't responsible for starting the fire, his illegal manipulation of another person's mental state raised concerns. However, with Shao Susu's guarantee and Tang Shenshen's evidence, they managed to secure Ye Yu's release after nearly a night of turmoil at the police station. Yet, this was not the end; Ye Yu would still be under surveillance and ready to respond to summons at any time.
"Are you going back to take the exam?" Although it was just dawn, returning to the First Military Academy for the exam seemed nearly impossible. This was Xia Chiu's first semester final exam, and naturally, her family placed great importance on it. If she couldn't make it back, it would be quite troublesome.
"I'm afraid it's too late. Even with a high-speed train, I would miss the time," Ye Yu said apologetically, looking at everyone who had put in so much effort for him while he delayed their important matters.
"Public transport System is unreliable, but I, Shao Susu, have my ways!" A hint of pride appeared on Shao Susu's face at that moment.
"Oh right! Cousin, your family has a suborbital aircraft; can you use it?" Xia Chiu suddenly realized that for everyone, time equated to money, and for the Shao Family, this was even more pronounced. They often had urgent matters requiring cross-regional travel. Relying solely on ordinary public transport System would be slow and wouldn't guarantee privacy or flexibility in timing. Therefore, many powerful families prepared suborbital aircrafts; even though the Federation Homeworld was vast, they could reach anywhere globally within half an hour.
"I ranked first last year; my family rewarded me with a year's access to a suborbital aircraft!" At this moment, Shao Susu resembled a typical girl her age. Unbeknownst to anyone else, she had already pulled out a shiny metallic object that appeared to be an access card.
The suborbital aircraft was parked in the outskirts of Central District, about two hundred kilometers from the police station. Ye Yu and his companions called for a luxury hovercar and arrived at the suborbital aircraft hangar in less than an hour. Not only did the Shao Family have their aircraft here, but several other powerful families also parked their vehicles in this location. The Shao Family had three aircraft stationed here; according to family agreements, anyone with an access card could operate any suborbital aircraft belonging to them at any time and place.
"Can you drive?" Ye Yu squinted at the ordinary ten-seat suborbital aircraft before him and instinctively asked. Although modern suborbital aircraft control systems were highly advanced and could fly with human commands alone, Ye Yu didn't believe a young lady could pilot such a vehicle capable of breaking through the atmosphere.
"My sister won a silver medal in the suborbital aircraft competition five years ago; she's also the youngest ever to achieve that," Uncle Hei interjected after remaining silent during their journey.
Ye Yu was astonished; he didn't realize that for those born into powerful families, power and responsibility were equal. Although they were born with golden keys in their mouths, maintaining that privilege required immense effort throughout their lives. Thus, they practiced many skills from an early age, and piloting a suborbital aircraft was merely one of them. After all, their ancestors gained their status through expansion and conquest; if they wished to continue their family's legacy of honor, they would eventually need to go into battle and even pilot battleships capable of traversing space. Therefore, learning to drive a suborbital aircraft was only natural.
Perhaps to prove her driving skills to Ye Yu, Shao Susu immediately accelerated the aircraft to its maximum speed in the shortest time possible. Although the aircraft could alleviate some of the overload pressure caused by high-speed flight, everyone still felt quite uncomfortable. Of course, as a martial arts expert, Shao Susu was not bothered by such levels of strain. As for Ye Yu, having previously piloted a star-class Battleship, he was certainly not intimidated by this level of flying.
What surprised Ye Yu was Uncle Hei. Although he appeared to be just a lawyer, Ye Yu sensed that his combat power was impressive, possibly even frighteningly strong, as he maintained a calm demeanor throughout the journey, as if he were simply walking on flat ground. It was only unfortunate for Tang Shenshen; after Shao Susu covered thousands of kilometers at twenty-five times the speed, she stepped off the aircraft and immediately vomited to the point where she could hardly stand, nearly bringing up bile.
Ye Yu was astonished. He did not understand that for those from prominent families, power and responsibility were equally weighted. Although they were all born with a golden key in their mouths, maintaining that privilege for a lifetime required immense effort. Thus, they practiced many skills, and piloting suborbital aircraft was merely one of them. After all, their ancestors had achieved their current status through territorial expansion; if they wished to continue their family's glory, they would eventually have to go to battle and even pilot Battleships capable of traversing space. Therefore, piloting suborbital aircraft was simply a necessary skill.
