Chapter 434 "Special Honor"
Chapter 434 "Special Honor"
Offending the abbot is obviously unavoidable; the face of someone above the highest level cannot be ignored at will.
Faced with an invitation he couldn't refuse, Fan Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in the footsteps of the legion commander.
However, when he passed by a pool of blood and saw the unconscious Rotaher, he stopped and took out several vials of red medicine to pour into the mouth of his temporary teammate.
Without the help of a combat maniac, Fan Wei would definitely have a much harder time facing an encirclement.
He wasn't the kind of heartless person who would leave after receiving benefits; at the very least, he wanted to wake this guy up as a way of repaying his help.
The red potion remains potent, repairing injuries very quickly. However, it also follows the law of conservation of energy; ordinary quality red potion is far from sufficient to treat superhumans.
Fan Wei could only win by sheer volume, until he had almost exhausted his stock before he could wake up this towering giant.
"Cough!" Rotaher coughed up blood and foam, his eyes widening with murderous intent!
Having just woken up, he immediately went into battle, and the first thing he did was throw a punch forward! Fortunately, his movements were distorted due to weakness, otherwise the punch might have hit the commander in front of him, who was wearing a military uniform with his hands behind his back.
What happened behind one's back could not be hidden from a person who had surpassed the ruler.
"Good fighting spirit."
Without turning around, Lecross casually remarked to Rotach in a flat tone, "It's a pity that his talent is limited. The most important thing is to know your own limitations. He should stop when it's time to stop."
With a comment, the Commander-in-Chief continued walking forward, and Fan Wei had to support the injured man to keep up.
Rotah pressed his shoulder and shook his head.
"You don't need to take me with you, you go with the commander, but..."
With a smirk, the battle maniac's tone became high again, "I still want to have a good fight with you! Haha, Misel Van, do you have the time?"
Seeing the berserker, covered in blood yet still smiling broadly, Fan Wei couldn't do anything about it and couldn't help but smile as well.
"Get some rest. Once you've recovered, I'll be ready to play with you anytime!"
"Great! There's no one more suitable than you..."
Letting out a sigh of relief, Rotah revealed his white teeth, looking as happy as a child. He straightened up again, flexing his strong biceps, and strode away with powerful steps.
Watching the departing figure, Fan Wei sensed the solemnity in the tone.
There may be a deeper reason behind this person's berserk behavior.
Phew, I'll treat him to a meal sometime~ With goodwill and a bit of nervousness, Fan Wei followed Lecross back to the front of the Exploration Legion headquarters building.
The legion members who had been watching had gathered together and silently and solemnly saluted the commander-in-chief.
"Come, stand next to me." The commander-in-chief, with a gentle smile, placed his hand on Fan Wei's shoulder and squinted as he scanned the crowd in front of him from left to right.
"Heh...a bunch of useless trash—!!"
Suddenly, Lecross roared, like a cannon booming, the sonic boom whipping up a whirlwind! It swept through the crowd in an instant! The shockwave shattered all the glass in the back wall!
The shattered glass rained down on the staggering crowd.
"These expenses and the maintenance costs for my vacant lot will be on your tab."
The echoes faded slowly. The Commander-in-Chief pointed to the mess on the ground, ignoring the pained expressions of his subordinates, and calmly spoke to Fan Wei, who was covering his ears.
"Okay, okay..."
How could anyone dare to object! The power of a transcendent being is terrifying! They don't even need to use supernatural strength; a mere roar from them is no less powerful than a cannon blast!
Even after avoiding the brunt of the attack, Fan Wei still felt a buzzing vibration in his ears.
"Now, you bunch of bastards, listen up!" Although the word "dog" wasn't as offensive in the Empire, it was still quite contemptuous.
Showing absolutely no respect to the extraordinary experts present, Lecross patted Fan Wei on the shoulder and smiled in front of his subordinates.
"I hereby declare that, having so successfully humiliated our legion, this gentleman is now a distinguished guest of our legion!"
"Give him a proper bow right now!"
Fan Wei broke out in a cold sweat. He saw a group of superhumans with icy eyes, men and women, all bowing at a ninety-degree angle, their movements perfectly synchronized as they shouted, "Salute to our esteemed guests!!"
The feeling of clenching his teeth was as if he wanted to be devoured alive!
"Very good." The Commander-in-Chief smiled with satisfaction. "As long as the esteemed Mr. Misr Van continues to roam the Legion, all your salaries will be halved."
"And if anyone can defeat him in a one-on-one challenge, then you will have a place in the General Staff!"
"Did you hear me?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Wei felt as if he were swimming in a boiling pot, with a thorn in his back. It was his intuition telling him that there was danger nearby, even though he didn't need that intuition at all...
After the commander-in-chief spoke, he noticed that the eyes of those standing superhumans looking at him could only be described as impatient!
I can't wait to kill him!
Lecross's words put Fan Wei in a very difficult position. He didn't ask about the reason for the incident, nor did he care about the farce at all.
They just casually praised him to death, using Fan Wei as a means to motivate their subordinates.
This really put Fan Wei in a tough spot.
Putting aside the issue of halved salaries, the position of General Staff alone is enough to drive these regimental commanders crazy. In the exploration legion system, extraordinary individuals can serve as team leaders.
Above that is an even higher level: the General Staff, who manages them. Only those who have at least come close to the level of the superior can have the opportunity to assume this position.
This also illustrates that as long as one is in this position, it's only a matter of time before the resources one receives move towards those of the higher-ups! This is an irresistible temptation for almost anyone.
"So, you're very happy to receive this honor, aren't you?"
The old Commander-in-Chief gave a chilling smile and patted Fan Wei on the shoulder, saying, "If you have anything to say, then say it."
Should I give my last words?
Those in positions of power are not to be trifled with, so Fan Wei could only suppress his inner complaints and say with a long face, "Thank you for your kindness, Commander!"
"Listen to this! They don't take you seriously at all!"
Lecross continued to add fuel to the fire, pleased to see the crowd indignant. "That's enough for today. From tomorrow onwards, my word will stand."
"Any of you can challenge Misr Van, and the winner will be promoted to the General Staff."
After saying that, the Commander-in-Chief kicked open the space in front of him and disappeared from the spot as if taking a stroll.
With one strong barrier gone, Fan Wei felt like the gazes of all the superhumans were practically igniting him. If the commander-in-chief hadn't said to let it go today, they probably would have lined up and started fighting right now.
That was scary! I'm outta here!
Although they were dragged into another conflict and caused a great commotion, the purpose of the trip was completely achieved, and they even exceeded expectations perfectly.
Fan Wei's current status is absolutely enough to establish his authority within the Exploration Legion!
The enemy's prestige is also a form of prestige.
As Lecross said, as long as he roams this territory and as long as he hasn't been defeated, Misr Van will be a distinguished guest of the Exploration Legion!
Although this wasn't Fan Wei's original intention, this double-edged sword isn't something he can simply get rid of just because he doesn't want it...
Straighten your back and nod to each person who makes eye contact.
Having become somewhat numb, Misr Van swaggered through the crowd amidst the scrutinizing gazes and returned to the Legion headquarters building.
Now that things have been stirred up, let's see how to get things done properly!
When he returned to the business representative's office, Rona and Dust, who had been anxiously waiting, were eager to rush over, but their restraint ultimately stopped them.
He simply showed a relieved expression.
"The sight of the black fog filling the sky just now was really terrifying..." Luo Na smiled and winked at Fan Wei, "It's good that you're back."
His dusty, heterochromatic eyes gazed at her quietly with a hint of joy.
This savior who suddenly appeared in her world brought the girl a sense of security and dependence she had never experienced before, especially when she saw the man in front of her risk his life to help her.
The girl felt a deep emotion she had never experienced before.
However, she was extremely self-conscious. As a lower-class person with impure blood, her very existence seemed to be a kind of filth.
Is someone as strong and wonderful as her really someone she can get close to?
"Don't worry, the problem is solved." Fan Wei reassured the two girls with a smile, then looked at the business representative who was still pale and trembling with fear, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Can we talk business properly now?"
Faced with this 'question,' the commercial officer almost collapsed to his knees. Even Lord Ron, whom he was trying to curry favor with, had been killed by the man in front of him!
If he really wanted to kill himself, there wouldn't be any problem at all!
"You, you said~"
The business officer wanted to force a smile out of every wrinkle on his face, and dared not mention any benefits or favors to be made in the future.
As it turns out, when it comes to money and life, life is ultimately more important!
