Leave the Dragon Squad!
Jiang Guohao had made it very clear, and that startled Zhang Feng and the rest. Even Captain Zhao and other captains couldn't help raising their heads and looking at Jiang Guohao. Those they had included after doomsday were basically with either high or rare superfunctions. Taking the superfunction of space as an example. There were five in the Dragon Squad, three of which were recruited from the outside world. And they took Zhang Feng as their leader. Therefore, if he kicked Zhang Feng out, the three of them would leave. And that was too much a loss that any squad could bear.
"Captain!"
Glaring at him gloomily for a long time, Zhang Feng stood up all of a sudden with his hands on the table, "Fine, I'll leave! Humph, Captain Jiang, hope you won't regret this!"
After speaking, Zhang Feng pulled the woman beside him and was about to leave. The two captains next to him stopped him at the same time, "Captain Zhang, not so fast. Captain Jiang, Zhang has long been here and he has devoted a lot to our squad. How could you just kick him out?"
"Yeah, right, Captain Jiang. Although we didn't follow you before doomsday, we've worked together for so long afterwards. You know Captain Zhang. He means no harm by saying so. You can't just kick him out because of what he said. If you do this, how do we, those who are not as good as him, to survive here?"
They talked one after another for one purpose: blaming Jiang Guohao for doing this.
"If you think it's unfair, feel free to leave with him."
Jiang Guohao had determined to get rid of them, so he wouldn't change his mind that easily.
"You! Fine! We'll leave! I can't believe you are such a man! Captain, we were blind to choose you!"
"Humph, it's not a big deal leaving here. I'll see how long you will be the best squad in the capital without us!"
"Applause!"
They were furious and shouted back immediately. Captain Zhao and his colleagues hurried to ease the air, but they heard applause all of a sudden. Following the voice, they found Ye Xingchen. The latter had stopped clapping, turned to lean against the chair, and said to Jiang Shang, "Jiang, I've finally learned a lesson about how a villain sues his victim. Tell me, what Brother Che would do with such people in Peak?"
"Kill!"
Jiang Shang answered briefly. Yun Che would never allow anyone to live if the one tried to overthrow his rules or even reverse the facts. If Zhang Feng and his friends were in Peak, they would have died several times. Wait, they wouldn't have the chance to join Peak in the first place.
"Kill? Humph, are you guys capable of doing that?"
Zhang Feng and his friends soon realized that Ye Xingchen was saying this to him and snorted immediately. Although they had heard a long time ago that Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang were level 6, they wouldn't be a big threat for them. Zhang Feng wasn't afraid.
"Boom!"
"Ahhhh!"
Suddenly, a golden silky halo was thrown out. None of the present, including Zhang Feng, had expected this. Without thinking, Zhang Feng pushed the woman aside and condensed a large gold sword above his head. But he had underestimated Jiang Shang. The next second, the chain whip seemed to have its consciousness, rolled up from aside, and wrapped his fat waist. Jiang Shang simply waved his arm, and then Zhang Feng was in the air.
"Boom!"
Jiang Shang withdrew the chain whip forcibly. Without defense, Zhang Feng fell to the ground. But before he could react, the golden silky halo once again targeted him. Zhang rolled in place and barely avoided the attack. There was a deep groove on the ground already.
"Level 7? That's impossible!"
Zhang Feng yelled in disbelief, feeling so upset to be suppressed like that. Ignoring the fierce pain he had suffered just now, he was chased by the silky halo and ran around. The hall was barely decorated before, but now it was a mess, full of grooves as wide as a palm. Zhang Feng had scars on his body as well.
"Impossible? Well, I don't think so. See? I'm level 7 as well."
Ye Xingchen's voice sounded. Immediately afterwards, a dozen of gold arrows were launched, each having powerful internal force and flying very fast.
"Ahhh!"
Even if Zhang Feng was level 6, he failed to avoid all the arrows. In the end, he had one arrow deep in his belly while the other in his thigh. He had thought to dissolve the arrows with his superfunction, but he failed.
"Now, tell me, do you still think we are unable to kill you?"
Moving before Zhang Feng within a blink, Ye Xingchen leered at him from above. Zhang Feng knelt on the ground with one knee, feeling scared, but he was stubborn, "Humph, you only made it with join attack!"
"Haha, guess you didn't know I was a beast trainer. Now that none of my beasts showed up, what is the so-called 'joint attack'? One more thing you should know is that Jiang had only used one-tenth of his power. What do you think would happen to you if he tried his best? You still got time to boast here?"
Ye Xingchen teased him. Killing him was too easy a task to bother them both.
"What, what do you want?"
Zhang Feng got nothing to refute them. Knowing that he had offended the one he couldn't afford to provoke, he restrained himself not to play cool and arrogant. Living in doomsday for two years, he knew better than anyone that dignity was nothing in front of his life. Being alive was the top issue.
"You have an hour to take your guys and get out of the Dragon Squad. If you have space, take everything out before leaving."
Ye Xingchen didn't bother to say more to him but told Jiang Guohao, "Dad, send one of your trusted men to go with them. If anyone is willing to share, others could feel if he had anything in his space."
"Will do!"
Finally, Jiang Shang and Ye Xingchen were willing to defend him, Jiang Guohao was more than delighted and agreed without hesitation.
"You two, take your men and get out of my sight!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ye Xingchen looked around and shouted coldly. The two were totally in shock at what had happened just now, so they rushed out before Zhang Feng. The latter's face turned gloomy. He stood up and barely supported his body with one leg, covering his abdomen with his right hand. The blood was pouring.
"Wohhhh!"
As Ye Xingchen turned his hand, the two arrows in Zhang Feng's body were drawn out in an instinct. Zhang Feng almost sobbed, then he yelled at the woman in a lower voice, "What are you looking at? Come over!"
"Oh, right."
The woman was startled, approaching him tremblingly. But Zhang Feng pulled her over and leaned against her. Before leaving, he took a look at Jiang Guohao meaningfully. No one understood what that meant, but he drew his gaze within a second.
"Chen, dirty!"
Seeing that Ye Xingchen was about to pick up the arrows on the ground, Jiang Shang stopped him and released his silk halo. It soon collected all the gold arrows together, condensed them into one, and then split them into a dozen arrows again. When Ye Xingchen finally got the arrows, they were all pure and tidy.
"Jiang, I see your master upon the superfunction of gold is maturer."
Ye Xingchen put his arrows back and complimented, and Jiang Shang became an ignorant boy again. His face was telling the rest how happy he was to hear such praise.
When they did all this, Jiang Guohao also told his men to clean the mess. The superfunction possessors of earth performed their skills and restored the dilapidated hall soon, while the superfunction possessors of space also did the same to the broken chairs and stools. Within a few minutes, the place was as good as before, seeming like nothing had happened here.
"Sorry, Dad, I did all this without your approval."
Although Jiang Shang was still thinking of the praise he had just heard, Ye Xingchen pulled him to Jiang Guohao and others and said the above. But anyone could tell that he wasn't sorry at all. Jiang Guohao waved his hand and said, "Oh, please don't say that! We are family now! You know what? As long as you do have the wish, I won't mind leaving the Dragon Squad to you."
Jiang Guohao was very proud. When nobody in the base was claimed at level 7, both his son and his beloved one were already at level 7. That was amazing!
"Haha, Dad, I'm flattered."
Everyone knew that Jiang Guohao was not joking. However, now that Ye Xingchen had said so, Jiang Guohao wouldn't bother to talk more about it. Captain Zhao was helpless, "After today, we only have two possessors of space. That means more troubles in our future missions."
The superior possessors would be fine as long as they worked hard to practice, but those with space superfunctions were hard to find. It had taken them a lot to recruit the three who had got away just now.
"What are we gonna do?"
The rest sighed as well. They didn't mean to blame Ye Xingchen but felt regret and burden. Those with space superfunctions weren't the essential part of their team, but without them, their situation might be much worse.
"Space, right? We got a lot in Peak."
Ye Xingchen sounded. Seeing their confused faces, he beckoned them to sit down. Jiang Guohao couldn't help frowning as well. Just when he was about to ask, Ye Xingchen took the initiative and explained, "Dad, actually, we have something important to discuss with you today. Now that everyone is here, I'd like to share it. After all, we don't have much time left. Here is the thing. We are about to go to the Coast Base in a few days, so we won't come back to the capital frequently in the future. And we'd like to ask you if you are willing to join us at the Southwest Base? It's not as large as the Capital Base though, but Lingjiang City faces the Lingjiang River and backs against the Dragon Door Mountain. At least you will be safer in there, compared to the Capital Base of course. Also, you won't have to be separated from Jiang."
Ye Xingchen didn't mention the space because he didn't know if they would join them to the Southwest Base. He'd better keep it a secret from the outsiders for the time being.
"Well!"
Jiang Guohao wouldn't hesitate to leave with his son, but seeing his subordinates around the table, he failed to answer right away. After all, it was okay if he made the decision for himself only, but he couldn't force them to do it as well.
"Captain!"
All the branch captains looked toward Jiang Guohao. The Dragon Squad had long been the best in the capital, so it was reasonable that they felt it hard to give it up. But Jiang Guohao finally found his son, it would be selfish if they forced him to stay. They had worked long enough to develop deep relations.
Jiang Guohao looked at his men one by one and finally gave his answer, "I would love to go to the Southwest Base with Shang if it's just about me, but I won't force you all, my friends, to make the same decision. You've worked with me for so long, and I'd like to respect your decisions. So, give it a thought, will you? After all of you give me your answers, I'll decide what to do next."
Jiang Guohao was no longer a rash man who would like to be dominating and make all the decisions. Even if he could, he wouldn't do that to his friends. He had sons, so did others. Therefore, he would respect their choices as best as he could.
