Chapter 89 - 89 Zhao Yue, Concerned
89 Zhao Yue, Concerned
“He knows you two, but you two don’t know him. Who should I trust?” Zhao Yue sneered.
“Sir, I, Sun Qi, swear to the heavens that I don’t know such a person!”
“Me too.”
Hua Hai was sweating profusely. He shouted, “We’ve got a witness. Sun Qi and I have been hunting Beasts in Area B1. How could we be inexplicably related to this?”
Although the mercenary didn’t point them out, they were completely flustered.
Zhao Yue took a deep breath and almost spat out blood after listening to their explanation.
In his previous investigation, he had already followed the clues. He found evidence that Sun Qi had contacted the mercenaries in the black market.
In addition, they also found out that the mercenary was actually a distant relative of Hua Hai.
His heart ached as a soldier. Even more resentful, he had not met his expectations as this year’s Head Examiner.
“That’s enough. Let him out.”
“Who is it?”
The two people’s confused eyes were instantly stunned when a figure appeared.
“Long time no see, you two.”
Su Bai strode over with a toothpick in his mouth. He looked at the two with a smile and said, “Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost? I’m not dead yet.”
Not only did Su Bai not die, but he also had a rare moment of rest and used his rich merit points to make a trip to the military cafeteria.
The food there was much more sumptuous than those in the youth training camp.
“You are still alive…”
The last line of defense in Sun Qi and Hua Hai’s hearts completely collapsed.
“Sun Qi! Hua Hai! You two have violated the military’s rules. In addition to your previous false accusations, the military will punish you severely. You will never be allowed to join the military for the rest of your lives! At the same time, you two will be transferred to Los Monstaria for your trial.”
THUD!
Sun Qi seemed to have lost his soul as he sat paralyzed on the ground.
Hua Hai’s vision turned black, and he fainted on the ground.
They had committed a military taboo. Although they were not official soldiers, they were also guilty.
It was very likely that they would be forcefully banished from Los Monstaria or be imprisoned for more than ten years.
No matter which one it was, neither of them could accept the outcome.
Su Bai just laughed it off when he saw their miserable looks.
‘No matter what, killing was killing.
‘The entire human race was struggling to survive in this world of Beasts, yet they would actually do such a stupid and forbidden sin.’
Not to mention them, even the eight great families wouldn’t dare to rashly break the taboo.
Once violated, one would be the enemy of the entire human race.
The surrounding soldiers looked at the two of them with anger and coldness in their eyes. Sun Qi and Hua Hai had been wholly despised.
“Are you satisfied with the result?”
“Thank you, sir, for standing up for me.”
“It’s a small matter.” Zhao Yue touched Su Bai with his elbow and asked, “I still have one more thing to ask you.”
“Fire away.”
“Which legion do you plan to join?”
“Erm…”
Unsurprisingly, Zhao Yue was sure that Su Bai would be the first in the military selection.
Then Su Bai’s choice was undoubtedly the most curious.
Ninety-nine percent of the people would choose Welkin Wolves without hesitation.
After all, it was the First Legion of the military.
Zhao Yue asked for his own benefit.
The unit he belonged to was the Third Legion, Ironclad, which was of a good standard in the military.
As the saying goes, first come, first served. Zhao Yue couldn’t resist recruiting a promising talent like Su Bai.
“What, are you afraid that I’ll trick you?” Zhao Yue asked.
After a long silence, Zhao Yue smiled and said, “Don’t worry, just tell me which legion you want to join. I won’t interfere with your choice.”
Su Bai had heard of Zhao Yue’s reputation.
Although he was harsh to his subordinates, he was actually an upright person.
This was especially true for the members of the youth training.
Although every youth training member’s mind would automatically fill in the image of a demon’s face when they thought of Zhao Yue.
“I’m joining the Ninth Legion.”
Zhao Yue’s expression was complicated as if he had just eaten some indescribable food from hell.
“Are you sure? The Ninth Legion?”
“Yes.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Zhao Yue asked, dumbfounded.
Even the people in Los Monstaria knew the situation of the Ninth Legion, let alone the military.
If Su Bai didn’t choose the Third Legion, he would feel heartache for a while at most. But when he heard the name of that legion, he was lucky that he didn’t suffocate on the spot.
“For some reason, I wish to join the Ninth Legion,” said Su Bai.
Su Bai didn’t tell Zhao Yue what had happened that night.
“Okay, fine. I really don’t know what you think that you actually want to go to the Ninth Legion.”
Zhao Yue took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He said, “But I can’t interfere with you. Think about it yourself. You can go back now.”
After Su Bai left, he heard the patrolling soldiers say that Zhao Yue hid by the window and looked up at the starry sky all night. He sighed every other second.
The next day, Sun Qi and Hua Hai’s names were utterly removed from the giant screen, and the punishment memo was also issued.
It shocked everyone present.
“Crap, Sun Qi hired mercenaries to assassinate Su Bai?!”
“Wow… There’s already such breaking news so early in the morning.”
“I’ve long found Sun Qi an eyesore. I didn’t expect him to be a despicable person…”
“By the way, Su Bai is even more awesome. He actually killed some mercenaries!”
“He did!”
“Su Bai will be my role model from now on!”
As for Su Bai himself, he had already gone to Area B1 and started to hunt for Beasts.
After three days of scouting, Su Bai was already familiar with Area B1. His gains in one morning had already occupied more than half of his Beast Space.
On the leaderboard, Su Bai’s in the lead, almost a thousand points ahead of second place.
However, Su Bai was still active, hunting everywhere in the B1 area and racking up points like crazy.
After all, the excess points could be exchanged for merit points.
It would be a waste not to take it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the seventh day.
Su Bai looked at the almost full Beast Space and immediately returned to base.
In a few days ‘time, the points he accumulated had reached 6,000 points.
The second place only had 3,000 points.
But Su Bai wasn’t satisfied because Bearen and Whitey showed no signs of breaking through to the Silver-level.
If other people knew about his worries, they would probably be furious.
Under normal circumstances, a Beast would take at least a few months to break through to the next level. The higher the level, the more difficult it would be.
Bronze-level soldiers were the main forces of the military.
The Silver level ones were the backbone of the military.
In other words, Su Bai’s improvement was like a rocket, leaving most of his peers far behind.
But Su Bai was worried about his slow progress.
It was really infuriating to compare with others.
Back at the gate of the military base, it was very lively. Even Liu Yiyi sent a text asking Su Bai about his outcomes.
[You guess.] Su Bai gave a short reply.
Liu Yiyi was so angry that she clenched her fists and stomped her feet for a long time.
