Chapter 10

The meeting ended with an agreement from the committee to lend the national team to the military team with a written promise that the military team will be responsible for the safety of the national team from the first day until the last day of the mission. In the event that the mission endangered their life after the mission ended, the military team also have a responsibility to protect the national team and make sure they can live like they normally did.

Nothing about the mission details that were being talked about. The committee did ask about what the mission is, but they only said that they need the national team to play a game. It was a really vague answer, but no one has the nerve to complain to army members.

After the agreement was signed, Ye Xiu was tasked to be the coordinator and mediator between the military team and the national team.

One by one, the committee members left the room. There is only Ye Xiu alone from the national team side.

The guy that had been sort of a spokesperson then greet Ye Xiu. "Good afternoon, Mr. Ye, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." He said while standing, holding his hand out.

Ye Xiu also stood up and shake the guy's hand. "Likewise."

The guy was opening his mouth when Ye Xiu cut him. "By the way, I didn't quite catch your name." He asked, as blunt as ever.

The guy's face turned awkward from Ye Xiu's remark. He cleared his throat.

"I'm Liu Rui. " He introduced himself. "Our commander here is Tian Wei. And you already know about Xue Ye."

Ye Xiu stared blankly at Ye Xue. "Yea, I know her." He nodded in agreement. Ye Xiu didn't doubt that the military team already know both his and Ye Xue's connection.

He turned to Liu Rui. "So what do we need to help you with? You didn't tell us clearly before," he asked.

Liu Rui looked at Tian Wei, and with a nod from the commander, he took out a document from his bag. He gave the document to Ye Xiu.

"Actually, we are pursuing a group of people and we get an information that they are lurking in a game similar to Glory." he started explaining, which earned a doubtful look from Ye Xiu.

Liu Rui shrugged. "We'll tell you in detail later when we do mission briefing. It's a long story and I don't think I'd want to repeat it twice."

"When do you want to give a briefing?" Ye Xiu asked.

"As soon as possible."

Ye Xiu glanced at the clock. 4.15 p.m. "I'll tell them to get ready in 15 minutes." he said as he standing up. He didn't wait for their answer before rushing out of the meeting room.

The military team was left alone in the meeting room. Liu Rui turned to Ye Xue. "Xuexue, your brother is weird," he commented. Other teammates also gave their nod.

One of them chuckled, "he was silent for the entire meeting, I never thought his mouth is as sharp as his eyes." he said while sighing.

"Oh yeah, he looks like doing an X-ray with his eyes and his mouth is a blank space that doesn't have any filter." Another member said while laughing.

Ye Xue smirked. "Isn't unfiltered mouth better than the unfiltered brain?"

All members stared blankly at Ye Xue. She just blinked.

"What?" she asked.

Liu Rui shook his head helplessly.

"You are really good at killing, Xuexue. You can even kill jokes."
