The Favored Son of Heaven Chapter 198

Chapter 198 - Support from the Major General

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The recruit camp had been trained by several drill instructors for many days, allowing Qin Fen to possess the most basic reflex skills required of soldiers. His posture straightened up even more, his feet tapped together, and he gave a standard military salute as he said in full strength, “Reporting as ordered, sir new recruit, Qin Fen reports!”

The second lieutenant kept a straight face as he nodded. He made a neat turn and walked out as he said, “Come with me.”

The seasoned soldiers were well aware that Qin Fen had missions. They neither stopped him nor asked any questions. They merely said, “Kid, come back soon.”

Qin Fen also gave a standard military salute to the seasoned soldiers, “I will.”

As Qin Fen followed the second lieutenant, he was filled with doubt.

According to Xing Wuyi, the training had not been completed yet. Based on the usual practice, the soldiers who had completed all assigned missions would receive a call from the military department after recuperation. They would be notified about their return to the Happy Paradise to take the final lesson of the drill instructor. Only then the soldiers’ training would be complete.

Even if they couldn’t be notified because of poor reception on the cell phone, either the First Sergeant or the Sergeant Major would deliver the message personally.

In any circumstance, a second lieutenant shouldn’t be the one who notified a new recruit about returning to the troops.

The two walked out of the military camp in tandem and sat in a sedan that was already parked there.

As they sat in the car, Qin Fen became even more curious. The matter of returning troops would involve nothing more than a notification. Thus far, he had never heard of a car being particularly prepared for such an occasion.

The car sped through one building after another. It was finally stopped at the parking lot of the International Trade Office.

Qin Fen got off and looked around. There were no training buddies in sight.

The second lieutenant walked to the front of the road. Once again, the commanding tone came, “Come this way.”

Everything was incomparably eccentric, and Qin Fen’s curiosity was topped with a strand of alertness. A few days ago, he destroyed a few people’s chances of entering the Song Family. It was unsure if someone had bribed the second lieutenant to commit some deplorable conduct.

The elevator stopped at the fifty-fourth floor. The second lieutenant stepped out as he dashed toward what looked like an ordinary office. He raised his hand and knocked on the door with a strange rhythm.

Qin Fen had been trained by several insane-level drill instructors. He knew that the second lieutenant knocked with a Moorish password.

The knock meant to say: Reporting as ordered, sir, the person has been brought in.

Sir? Qin Fen could not help but become more curious as his ears pricked up. He listened attentively to the breathing in the room to make an initial judgment of the strength of the other party.

“Come in.”

When the door opened, Qin Fen entered the room upon the second lieutenant’s signal.

Three people sat side by side in the room. Two of them wore police uniforms. The person in between them was in military wear, and there was only one gold star on his shoulder.

Major General!?

Despite having seen General Du Hen, that encounter was only possible because of Du Zhanpeng.

Qin Fen was shocked to meet the Major General for the first time under such circumstances.

The two policemen assessed Qin Fen, and then looked at the information in their hands. At last, they nodded, “Not bad, not bad.”

The Major General who sat in the middle adjusted his posture slightly. He leaned against a large, spacious chair, “New recruit, Qin Fen. You are now given a chance to give back to the Federation that has nourished you for all these years.”

The one hundred square meters space of the office echoed the Major General’s low voice which contained a hint of order.

Qin Fen first frowned. The corner of his mouth showed a smile in no time.

Give back to the Federation that has nourished me all these years?

Qin Fen yearned to ask the Major General about when he was ever nourished by the Federation. He lived in the lowest class of society and lived days with unguaranteed meals. Was this the nourishment that the Federation gave?

The police officer opened up the information in his hand as he uttered, “The situation is like this…”

“Please wait for a moment.” Qin Fen interrupted the police officer’s speech.

This move brought out the curiosity of the other three people in the room.

No one thought that in the face of a Major General and two police officers, a little new recruit dared to interrupt the police.

“Sir, I’m a soldier.” Qin Fen reaffirmed his identity, “If I may ask, is my assigned mission one of the military?”

“No.” The police officer who spoke first replied, “We seek you this time to cooperate with our police force, to complete a mission.”

“Report, sir.” Qin Fen straightened his body, “I am a new recruit who is about to participate in the Military Recruit Tournament for the selection of new recruits. If possible, I hope that sir will delegate this military-irrelevant mission to someone else.”

Major General’s eyes narrowed into slits. He stared tensely at Qin Fen. The superior’s power dispersed bit by bit as it strained toward Qin Fen’s direction.

One second. Ten seconds. Thirty seconds. One minute.

Qin Fen was like a javelin. His eyes held on to the sharp stare of the Major General.

He had come into contact with Song Family once. Song Zhen Ting’s words still had a huge impact on him.

Love, like what Song Zhenting said, is not a slogan. An impassioned shout of the word will eliminate hunger, obviate the cold, and be given a good home to live in.

The moment that love becomes a marriage, it was also one’s match, rice, oil, salt, vinegar, and tea. Eating, clothes, house, consumption, transportation, none of them should be lacking.

Qin Fen’s eagerness to earn money was not only for the traveling expenses for finding his brother, but also to get an affirmation from Song Family that Song Jia wouldn’t suffer from hunger and poverty when she is married to him.

Although he didn’t know why the police sought him out, he was certain that their sort of mission will inevitably hinder his preparation for the Military Recruit Tournament.

Hindering his preparations for the Military Recruit Tournament equated to a hindrance of money-making, This would then obstruct his future happiness.

With this firm belief, not only was Qin Fen not pressured by the daunting power of the Major General, he was instead like a knife as he pierced through the power.

When the Major General saw Qin Fen’s eyes getting brighter, the smile at the corner of his mouth became more apparent, and the superior’s threatening stare turned into an approved smile.

The other two police officers also exchanged an approved look. To be able to face the Major General’s vibe without backing down made Qin Fen more than qualified for this mission.

“Young man.” The thirty-five-year-old Major General stared at Qin Fen with great interest, “Can you tell me, why are you so obsessed in participating in the Military Recruit Tournament?”

“Report, sir!” Qin Fen raised his voice and replied, “For the honor of the East Asian Military Region! This should be the realization of any East Asian Military Region soldier!”

The two police officers and the Major General assessed Qin Fen for a long time before they finally applauded. They found an important quality of Qin Fen that was suitable for this mission.

In the presence of the three officers, he dared tell a bombastic lie. Not only did he not blush but his breath, heartbeat and blood pressure also remained unchanged.

If it were not for the knowledge they had of him from the information, they would have been deceived by this new recruit who clearly has little realization of a soldier’s service.

As Qin Fen looked at the strange smiles of the two policemen and the Major General, he had a feeling similar to when asking a weasel to guard the chicken. He felt weird in his heart.

“New recruit, Qin Fen.” The Major General took a sip of the tea from a cup on the table, “Can you tell me, what the military duty of a soldier is?”

“Report, General!” Qin Fen could only answer in the military’s manner, “It is to serve!”

The Major General stopped talking. He gently pushed the information by his side forward, “Now, I’m commanding you as a General. Get to the bottom of this onerous task. Don’t think that the soldiers who are not within my jurisdiction can enable you to evade this. I have already greet your instructors and butchers, they already agreed.”

Qin Fen was speechless. There were several drill instructors who were like his loved ones and elders. He could never refuse their demands.

What’s more, if he were to refuse, his drill instructors would let him know what real diabolical training was when he returned to the military camp.

There was no way he could refuse, thus he could only accept. Qin Fen reached out for the huge stack of information. He saluted and he was about to leave.

“Halt right there.” The Major General raised his wrist and pointed to the information in Qin Fen’s hand, “These can only be seen here, it cannot be taken out.”

“So…”

“Yes, you can only memorize all that information in this room.” Major General tapped on the table, “Of course, you can use the restroom during this period.”

Qin Fen became curious about the information in his hands. What is this mission? It is actually so secretive? Why was there a need for a new recruit to execute it?

The two policemen left the room side by side. When the Major General walked past Qin Fen, he patted him on his shoulder, “Young man, do it well. This mission was fought vigorously by a few of your own instructors to be assigned to you. Your worry about not being able to catch up for the Military Recruit Tournament is not necessary. Theoretically, you can catch up with everything. Moreover, after this mission is complete, it can be converted into military merit. Besides, throughout the period of this mission, you can still earn the money you like so much.”

The Major General pushed open the door and left the room, and immediately two soldiers of the captain rank entered the room.

Judging from their gait, Qin Fen could gather that not only were their martial strengths good, but they were also good with guns. They probably belonged to the police force.

As Qin Fen lowered his head to skim through the information, he gradually realized why the police system required him as a new recruit to execute the mission.

In theory, within the Federation, the police officer will be under the police, and the military officer will be under the military. Given the fact that they are within the same huge system with separate functions, it was a rare occasion for them to cooperate with one another.

This time the mission was to enter the Golden Triangle and assassinate a person named Wang Hao.

This person used to be a policeman. Today, his identity was a drug lord. He might even become one of the greatest drug lords in the future.

Or rather, he had never been a true policeman. He had always been a drug-dealing member lurking in the police force.

From the information, it could be shown that he was a person with special experience.

His martial strength could be the basic grade of Comet Level, eight star-class! Rising from being an ordinary policeman, not only had he spent about ten years continuously solving several major crimes, he also became a narco hero, and he was promoted as the leader of the narcotics squad.

Moreover, he had a photographic memory. He also possessed great abilities in detecting and anti-detection. The police force awarded him the nickname of ‘The Living Computer’.

Working all year-round as a police enabled Wang Hao to train his eyes to be like the falcon. Even for people who had worked in the police force before, not even their breaths could be hidden from his eyes.

In just three months, the Federation had sent twelve batches of police veterans undercover to enter the Golden Triangle to get closer to Wang Hao and to assassinate him.

In the end…

All these attempts failed!

When these people first met Wang Hao, Wang Hao immediately gestured a secret sign to ask his people to shoot the undercover without asking much.

In the end, the police held several meetings. They were sure that no one from the police force could escape Wang Hao’s sight but he must be eliminated.

Having been lurked by a drug lord for more than ten years and promoting him as the leader of the narco squad…this had to be a shame to the East Asian police.

If he were allowed to go free and unfettered, then it would be bringing shame to the East Asian police.

Furthermore, this narco leader was very familiar with the strength of the East Asian Police, and the way police handled cases.

The police force was an impregnable fortress for other drug lords, but in Wang Hao’s eyes, there were loopholes everywhere, allowing him to trade freely.

After accepting his deceased brother’s power, deliveries were made in a short period of three months. It always arrived safely, and he never wasted a single penny of his customers.

Highly efficient, unparalleled safety. Not only were the drug dealers from all around the world interested in him, even the dealers from other planets had become a little interested.

The development at this rate made the future of the drug-dealing market incredibly daunting.

And all of this came from Wang Hao.

At that time, the police in other regions of the Federation would accuse the East Asian police of their mistakes, resulting in their increased crime rate.

It wasn’t that the Federation never considered the use of professionals to enter the territory to assassinate, but the Golden Triangle was a small area muddled with different kinds of people.

To be able to be under these circumstances today, the drug trafficking headquarters in the Federation had long ago stated that this place was definitely not as simple as it seemed on its surface.

The next piece of information was the various power divisions of the Golden Triangle. A few among them even had their own army.

Five thousand people. Eight thousand people. Three thousand people. There was even one with seventeen thousand people!

Before Wang Hao’s brother died, he too had a troop of more than nine thousand. This was one of the larger warlords in the Golden Triangle.

Today, Wang Hao had merely received more than one thousand three hundred troops and territory. Just by doing so, he already began emerging from the crowds.

With regards to kill such a person, Qin Fen began to doubt if it was true that his drill instructors fought for this mission for him.

He obviously couldn’t bring any heavy sniper equipment when he sneaks into the Golden Triangle.

Moreover, even if one were lucky enough to bring it in, it would be very difficult to find a good sniper point in such a chaotic place.

If the job was not done well and the sniper point was not found, it would be discovered by the warlords nearby, and he would be decapitated immediately.

After turning over another page, Qin Fen looked at the numbers at the top and got excited.

The East Asian police offered one million for Wang Hao’s head! For the sake of their reputation and for the future of drug dealing channels, the East Asian police offered a price on Wang Hao which exceeded the price of many famous terrorists.

“I don’t care whether this was requested by my drill instructors.” Qin Fen’s eyes shone just by looking at the information. He said decisively, “I’ll take this mission!”

Shifting his gaze from the reward offered, Qin Fen turned over the page again.

This was the identification information that the police arranged for him. Qin Fen, eighteen-year-old male, new recruit…

Everything was more or less the truth. It was just that the place of his spouse… Lin Ling.

Lin Ling? Qin Fen’s mind flashed to the moment of the new recruits training session. She was that frosty and superior female soldier.

According to the arrangement of police information, Qin Fen and Lin Ling were both new recruits, and they developed feelings in the course of training. In an opportunity of being alone with each other, they had an intimate relationship.

However, the military had its regulations. In the recruitment phase, it was forbidden for soldiers to fall in love with each other, more so where opposite sex soldiers were found on the same bed.

Once this happens, the soldiers must be dismissed immediately without question. Their citizenship would even be revoked. They would no longer have the benefits of medical indemnification and other privileges offered to citizens.

To put it in a cynical context, even if they were beaten to death on the street, the assailant would not receive any heavy sentencing.

Losing citizenship was a very miserable thing for the people of the Federation.

Of course, most of the people living in the Golden Triangle did not have federal citizenship.

It could be said that people without citizenship would either find some ways to work hard and create benefits for the Federation in order to regain citizenship, or they would go to an area like the Golden Triangle. There was no need for citizenship there, as long as you have a skill, you can live an equally unrestrained life.

Most of the people who lost their citizenship would choose to go to the Golden Triangle or to Saturn. This was because regaining citizenship was not an easy task.

As Qin Fen studied the information, he continued scoffing softly. It seemed that the police had planned this mission in detail.

The following information had tactics on how to get close to Wang Hao. After the follow-up of every scheme, the police would provide assistance for Qin Fen to retreat safely when he completes his mission.

After two days, Qin Fen memorized all the information.

The Major General who left earlier appeared before Qin Fen again. This time, there was someone by his side. A woman.

Qin Fen’s spouse in the provided information, Lin Ling.

“Qin Fen, this is your partner for this mission.” The Major General withdrew to the side, “I believe that you’re both familiar with each other. So, in the next week, you will have to live together, familiarize with each other, and cultivate more tacit understanding among yourselves.”

Qin Fen looked around the house and asked, “Will it still be here?”

The general shrugged his shoulders, “Of course not. How can you both get to know each other in here? The military provided you two with some money to let you both rent a house out there. Only this can provide the best result.”

“So, I’m not to go back to the military camp during this period?” Qin Fen was active, “You clearly know my level of strength. If I am to assassinate Wang Hao now, I might be the one who ends up being killed. I’m at the basic grade of a Meteor level, and he is already at the Comet level.”

“I know this.” The Major General nodded. “You undoubtedly need to improve your strength now.”

“Yes. If possible, I hope to find someone to train with me. It’s better to not train alone.”

In relation to life, Qin Fen was serious. He was quick to voice out his requests.

The Major General contemplated it before he nodded and said, “No problem! I have heard about your days spent in the gravity chamber. I will find more people for you to conduct a special short-term training session. I hope that will help. ”
