Chapter 1183 Kept A Secret From Him!
w.a.n.g Teng stood outside his lodging and stared at Olivia. He furrowed his brows.
Why was this lady here?
Had she not given up?
This was his first thought. But when he heard her agitated cries, his expression changed. “What do you mean? Di Qi is in danger?”
!!
“Nevermind, come in first.” w.a.n.g Teng pulled Olivia into his room and closed the door. He stared at her sternly and asked, “Are you lying?”
“Why would I lie to you? Our family has a special communication method. When our lives are at risk, a message will be sent to the nearest family member. I received Cousin Di Qi’s message the moment I woke up this morning,” Olivia replied like a machine gun. She was panicking.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at Olivia and felt that she wouldn’t lie to him about such matters. Moreover, she didn’t seem to be acting.
“w.a.n.g Teng, I can only ask you for help. My family members won’t be able to rush here in time. Cousin Di Qi might not come back if we don’t act fast enough. This communication method is only used at the final crucial moment,” Olivia said anxiously.
“Don’t panic.” w.a.n.g Teng reminded her. “Ask your family to contact the higher authorities in the military. They will send martial warriors to save your cousin. I can’t do it alone.”
“My family has already contacted them. However, I trust you more,” Olivia replied.
“Wait for me here. I’ll ask General Cameron what mission he gave to Di Qi.” w.a.n.g Teng wouldn’t fold his arms and look on. He told Olivia to stay still and left to find General Cameron.
…
After some time, w.a.n.g Teng arrived outside General Cameron’s office. He strode straight in.
“Major w.a.n.g Teng, are you looking for General Cameron?” General Cameron’s adjutant knew w.a.n.g Teng, so he got up to welcome him.
“I have urgent business to discuss with General Cameron.” w.a.n.g Teng walked toward the door.
“Major w.a.n.g Teng, wait. General Cameron is meeting someone. You can’t go in. I need to report your arrival first.” The adjutant stopped him hurriedly.
“Move. I don’t have time to wait for you to report.” w.a.n.g Teng pushed his palm out, moving the adjutant back. He wasn’t injured. He was just pushed aside so that w.a.n.g Teng could pa.s.s through.
The adjutant’s expression changed. He was astounded.
Major w.a.n.g Teng was powerful.
Mind you, he was a cosmos-stage martial warrior while w.a.n.g Teng was a celestial-stage martial warrior. Yet, he was knocked back with a single attack. No wonder General Cameron had high hopes for him.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t care what the adjutant felt. He pushed open General Cameron’s door instantly.
General Cameron was really meeting someone in his office.
When w.a.n.g Teng appeared, both parties looked at him.
“Wendell! Why is he here?” w.a.n.g Teng was stunned when he saw the person sitting opposite General Cameron.
“General, I didn’t manage to stop Major w.a.n.g Teng. Please punish me,” the adjutant stepped forward and said nervously.
“Nevermind, you can leave first.” General Cameron waved his hand. “Major w.a.n.g Teng, come in.”
“Hmph, as expected of a martial warrior from a remote planet. You have no manners at all.” Wendell scorned.
General Cameron blinked. He knew w.a.n.g Teng’s background as well as his grudges against the Parkers. Hence, he wasn’t surprised.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t even glance at Wendell. “General Cameron, can you send him away? I have something to ask you about.”
Wendell’s face turned black. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d ignored him completely.
He was here first, but he wanted to chase him out? This was too much.
He wanted to speak, but General Cameron interrupted him. “Major w.a.n.g Teng, I know your purpose here. You came for Colonel Di Qi, right?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng was surprised. He glanced at Wendell and nodded. Since the general had spoken about this matter, there was no need to hide it from Wendell.
“I called Colonel Wendell over for the same issue. Since you’re here, sit down and let’s discuss it together,” General Cameron said.
“General Cameron, pardon me for being direct. Based on what I know, most of Major w.a.n.g Teng’s team was injured during his first mission. I have a reason to doubt his ability. It’s not appropriate to share this mission with him,” Wendell said.
w.a.n.g Teng was staggered. Then, he stared at Wendell strangely.
This fellow was asking for it. General Cameron had inside information, yet Wendell defamed him in front of the general.
“Cough!” General Cameron’s gaze turned weird too. He coughed awkwardly and said, “Colonel Wendell, I know Major w.a.n.g Teng’s ability clearly. It’s appropriate to share this issue with him.”
Wendell was stunned.
General Cameron’s att.i.tude wasn’t right.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t complete his first mission properly. Why did General Cameron speak up for him?
Did they make a secret deal?
Multiple thoughts flashed across his mind. Wendell had a worse impression of w.a.n.g Teng.
“General Cameron, the issue is urgent, so I will go straight to the point. What’s Di Qi’s mission?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
General Cameron turned serious and replied, “This is a long story, but I’ll summarize it. We received news that a large number of dark apparition activities had been detected at the fifth frontline. However, the dark apparitions only appeared for a moment and disappeared after that. No one can find their whereabouts, so I sent Di Qi’s team to investigate this issue. I didn’t think he will be in life danger. There must be something going on.”
“A large number of dark apparition activities?” w.a.n.g Teng frowned. “Do you know what type of dark apparitions they are?”
“No.” General Cameron shook his head.
“Since it’s a large-scale activity, they won’t vanish the moment they appear, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Could it be some special dark apparition’s race?” w.a.n.g Teng guessed.
“You might be right.” General Cameron nodded. “However, the appearance of sp many dark apparitions comes with a black mist. This time, they hid in their black mist too, so we had a hard time recognizing their race.”
w.a.n.g Teng went into deep thought. After some time, he said, “Either way, we need to save him first. Let me investigate this matter.”
“General Cameron has given me this task,” Wendell said coldly.
“Let’s investigate on our own then,” w.a.n.g Teng frowned and replied.
“Hmph, with your ability, you’ll definitely interfere in my investigation. If something happens, whose responsibility will it be?” Wendell scoffed.
“You might be the one giving me trouble,” w.a.n.g Teng said calmly.
“What a joke!” Wendell acted as if he had heard a funny joke.
“Alright, stop arguing. I’ll let the two of you handle this issue. I hope you’ll put aside your grudges for this mission. I only want results,” General Cameron reprimanded them sternly.
Wendell was still unconvinced, but General Cameron had made his decision. He could only shut his mouth.
“I have no problem with that,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.
“Alright, go ahead then.” General Cameron waved his hand.
“General Cameron, can I speak to you in private?” w.a.n.g Teng suddenly asked.
“Huh?” General Cameron was stunned for a second. Then, he nodded and said, “Colonel Wendell, you can leave first.”
Wendell: …
They were keeping a secret from him?
He felt like an outsider.
Why?
Why could a newbie who just came to the No. 29 Defense Planet and completed only one mission gain General Cameron’s favor?
He had been working hard for many years, but he felt that he wasn’t as well-liked as w.a.n.g Teng.
Infuriating!
d.a.m.n it!
Wendell glared at Wendell bitterly as he walked out of General Cameron’s office.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at him strangely. He felt that this fellow had the potential to be an aggrieved woman confined at home. His gaze…
“Alright, what do you want to say?” General Cameron asked.
“General Cameron, do you think the dark apparitions’ strange actions have anything to do with the devil ovum?”
“What do you mean?” General Cameron’s expression changed.
“I feel that we should investigate the dark apparitions’ movement on all the frontlines on this planet,” w.a.n.g Teng suggested.
“I’ll consider your suggestion seriously.” General Cameron understood w.a.n.g Teng’s concern. He nodded grimly.
w.a.n.g Teng left the room.
