Chapter 1184 Wait, What If It Was A Trick?
After w.a.n.g Teng left General Cameron’s office, he informed his team and asked them to prepare for departure.
Then, he returned to his lodging.
“w.a.n.g Teng, how is it?” Olivia rushed over when she saw him and asked agitatedly.
“I’ve already understood the mission. I’ll be leaving to investigate it now,” w.a.n.g Teng replied. “Don’t worry. Wait for me here.”
!!
“No, I want to go too.”
“Nonsense!” w.a.n.g Teng scolded, “You’ll create trouble for me if you go.”
“You’re scolding me. You’re scolding me too.” Olivia pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes. “You’re bullying me too. Everyone bullies me. Everyone feels that I’m immature.”
w.a.n.g Teng had a terrible headache.
Young ladies were indeed troublesome.
He didn’t know what to do when Olivia cried. There was no way he could reprimand her now.
“I’m not bullying you. If you follow me, I’ll have to take care of you. What if something happens and I can’t save Di Qi?” w.a.n.g Teng had no choice but to scare her away.
“But, but… I can help you. I can sense Cousin Di Qi’s location within a certain range. If you don’t bring me along, you’ll have to waste time finding him,” Olivia sobbed and continued.
“You can sense Di Qi’s location?” w.a.n.g Teng was startled.
“Yes, I can sense him using our family’s special communication method if we’re within a certain range.” Olivia nodded.
“Hmm…” w.a.n.g Teng was in a dilemma.
Based on what she said, things would be easier if he brought her along.
However, this lady was a troublesome kid. She wasn’t as obedient as she seemed. She was a cheeky one.
Would accidents happen if he brought her along?
“I won’t be a burden. I’ll listen to you all the time,” Olivia promised hurriedly. She knew what he was worried about through his expression.
“You said it.”
“Yes, I mean it,” Olivia replied.
“What if you don’t follow my orders?” w.a.n.g Teng didn’t believe her.
“If I don’t listen to you, I’ll… You can hit my b.u.t.t. My mom always reprimands me this way. I’ll give this right to you now,” Olivia said. She seemed to have made a huge decision.
w.a.n.g Teng: …
What did she mean by hitting her b.u.t.t? What was this young girl thinking? How could a man agree to such a request?
This was embarra.s.sing!
She was close to 20 years old,q but she was still naive and pure. w.a.n.g Teng didn’t realize it in the past.
Wait, what if it was a trick?
If her family members knew that he agreed to her request, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name in the future.
They would think that he was a pervert. They might even beat him to death.
He s.h.i.+vered at the thought of it.
“Cough, there’s no need to hit your b.u.t.t…” w.a.n.g Teng coughed and replied.
“No, you won’t believe me otherwise. I’m giving it my all because I want to save Cousin Di Qi. I must show my family my ability and prove that I’m not a weak and pampered young lady. I can definitely do something big,” Olivia clenched her fist as she said. Her determination was touching.
w.a.n.g Teng raised his eyebrows. This young lady seemed immersed in her own world.
He wondered if he should wake her up.
“Stop hesitating. Time waits for no man,” Olivia urged him when he didn’t reply to her.
“Let’s go.” w.a.n.g Teng was too lazy to speak. He could create a clone to follow Olivia and watch her. He would ensure that she had no chance to cause any trouble.
They arrived at the parking s.p.a.ces around the field. Peggy and the others were already waiting for him there. The battlecraft was parked and the engine switched on.
“Major w.a.n.g Teng!”
“Sir!”
Everyone greeted w.a.n.g Teng.
Olivia glanced at w.a.n.g Teng in amazement. He managed to gain the trust of his team after a single mission.
They seemed to respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
Olivia was a busybody. She loved to hear Di Qi’s stories about his experiences. In the past, she frequently heard him complaining about how hard it was to lead a team.
But it didn’t seem that way for w.a.n.g Teng.
Was Di Qi too weak?
“Are you ready?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“We’re all ready. We can leave immediately,” Peggy replied.
“Alright, let’s depart.”
w.a.n.g Teng entered the battlecraft, with the others following closely behind him.
The battlecraft vibrated and rose into the air. It shot into the distance, vanis.h.i.+ng on the horizon.
On the battlecraft.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at his team and said, “Y’all should know the mission briefly. Peggy, you’ll come up with the action plan. We will move once we arrive at the fifth frontline. Don’t waste any time.”
“Yes!” Peggy’s eyes lit up. She felt perked up.
During the first mission, she didn’t understand w.a.n.g Teng’s ability, so she had a hard time collaborating with him. Now, things were different. She finally felt that she could release her full potential and show w.a.n.g Teng her capabilities.
Peggy immediately started studying the map and forming an action plan. The other team members checked their equipment and prepared for their next operation.
Round Ball was controlling the battlecraft. It raised its speed to the maximum and headed toward the fifth frontline.
They met a few lonely dark apparitions along the way, who were killed by w.a.n.g Teng.
The battlecraft never stopped.
The team was used to it. During the first mission, they witnessed w.a.n.g Teng killing dark apparitions as easily as if they were chickens and dogs.
But Olivia was dumbfounded.
w.a.n.g Teng seemed to have gotten more powerful after he left the No. 4 Defense Planet. At that time, he could still kill devil kings, but he couldn’t have done it so easily.
She remembered all the rumors she had heard about w.a.n.g Teng. A martial warrior who could offend the Parkers wouldn’t be ordinary.
Compared to him, the young martial warriors she befriended were nothing.
No wonder Cousin Di Qi looked up to him and made friends with him even though he was a cosmos-stage martial warrior.
Soon, they arrived at the fifth frontline. They reported to the commander at the base before heading directly to the location where Di Qi disappeared.
This was a dark patch of mountains. It had been contaminated with dark Force, so all the plants had turned into dark plants. They gave off wisps of dark Force.
“Be careful. The sharp leaves and thorns on the leaves can cut your skin and contaminate you with dark Force,” Peggy glanced at Olivia and reminded her.
She was the only one who looked like a newbie here.
Peggy could tell that this young lady had a close relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Teng. She wasn’t an ordinary martial warrior and might have some hidden ident.i.ty.
“Thank you, Sister Peggy.” Olivia’s expression changed slightly. She carefully evaded the leaves and thorns around her and gave Peggy a sweet smile.
w.a.n.g Teng rolled his eyes secretly when he saw her face.
Act!
Continue acting. I don’t even want to expose you.
“Peggy, how far away are we from our destination?” he glanced around him and asked.
“Two to three kilometers,” Peggy looked at the map on her wrist.w.a.tch and replied.
“Hasten up.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
Everyone increased their speed. They were experienced, so they easily avoided the dangers and pa.s.sed through this dark forest.
After some time, w.a.n.g Teng stopped. He raised his hand, and his team stopped too.
A thin dark mist floated around them. It spread throughout the forest and gave off an evil and forbidding aura. Everyone turned serious.
“Do you guys have ways to resist the dark Force in the mist?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“There are light Force stones embedded in our battle armors. We can resist the invasion of dark Force temporarily if we activate them,” Peggy explained.
“Huh? This device seems familiar,” w.a.n.g Teng exclaimed.
“Mister Veblen designed it. The other defense planets are using it too,” Peggy said proudly.
w.a.n.g Teng: …
That bad-tempered old man had a good reputation.
