1290 They Were Both Barons, Why Is Wang Teng So Outstanding?
Sullen faced, Lu Qing left the Tiger Strike Force’s base with Swait and his men.
“Brother Lu.” Swait spoke carefully.
He could sense Lu Qing’s rage and knew he had caused a huge disaster.
“Once you’re back, go see the Third Prince and plead for forgiveness,” Lu Qing said.
“But…” Swait wanted to say something.
Lu Qing glanced back, making him desist.
After taking a few steps, The former stopped all of a sudden and looked further ahead, his expression changing somewhat.
Swait felt that something was off. He too peered into the distance and his pupils shrank. The man exclaimed, “Zhou Jingtian!
“Why is he here!”
Swait stared in disbelief, as though he had seen a ghost.
Lu Qing squinted his eyes and spoke slowly. “Looks like the Second Prince overheard something and couldn’t sit still.”
“He was sent by the Second Prince?” Swait asked.
“Why else do you think he’s here?” Lu Qing sneered.
The person arrived soon after. He was a tall young man with thick black hair draped over his shoulders; eyes sharp as knives as he grinned at Lu Qing. “So, the Third Prince sent you here.”
“Hmph.” Lu Qing scoffed. “The Second Prince really is everywhere.”
“Don’t misunderstand. The Second Prince only sent me to give his regards to Baron Wang Teng. After all, Baron Wang Teng had just made a contribution, and the Third Prince’s behavior is really disappointing. The Second Prince is worried that the Imperial Family would be disgraced by his actions; this is just to clean up the Third Prince’s mess.” Zhou Jingtian chuckled.
“You!” Lu Qing felt irritated.
“All right, I’ll stop here. I’m going to meet Baron Wang Teng.” Zhou Jingtian waved a hand and walked into the Tiger Strike Force’s premises.
Lu Qing stared at Zhou Jingtian’s back, feeling an extreme gloom. His mind was in a rollercoaster as he quickly left with Swait and his men.
Looks like the situation was worse than he had imagined.
…
Back in the Tiger Strike Force’s reception hall—Wang Teng sat on his chair with a blank expression.
Lu Qing’s aura just then was quite daunting.
He was a cosmos stage martial warrior, but the feeling he gave was something Wang Teng had never felt before.
This was the first time.
Lu Qing wasn’t easy to deal with!
He didn’t fear strong opponents, but he had to always be careful and be on guard against powerful poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows. This was truly annoying.
“Colonel Wang Teng, you caused us a lot of trouble,” General Cameron said.
“I am also helpless on the matter. I didn’t provoke them; they were the ones who started it,” Wang Teng said, still playing innocent.
General Cameron was speechless.
You don’t look like the one being provoked, at all. You were the one who bullied the Third Prince’s subordinates.
Wang Teng suddenly said, winking, “To show my appreciation for the generals, I have decided to donate two hundred billion to our headquarters. This can be considered as a contribution to Defense Planet No. 29.”
“Cough.” General Cameron cleared his throat and straightened his face. “Don’t worry, no one can hurt you while on this planet.”

At this time—Huo Qiya entered and whispered something to the young commander.
“Oh?” Wang Teng was surprised. He nodded and said, “Bring him in.”
“What’s wrong?” General Cameron asked.
“The Second Prince sent someone over,” Wang Teng replied.
“The Second Prince!” General Cameron looked at Wang Teng and smiled meaningfully. “You are really popular.”
“I don’t want to be involved in their squabbles.” Wang Teng felt helpless.
“I won’t meddle in this; there are lots of matters that require my attention. I’ll be taking my leave.” General Cameron shook his head and left.
Wang Teng was at a loss for words.
General Cameron was really fast when it came to escaping. It was obvious he didn’t want to involve himself with either the Second or the Third Prince.
In fact, if it wasn’t for Wang Teng, he wouldn’t have gone there.
Huo Qiya entered the reception hall with Zhou Jingtian shortly after.
Wang Teng sized up the visitor and was surprised. The fellow provoked a feeling similar to how he felt with Lu Qing, while radiating an overwhelming presence.
He’s not easy to deal with!
“Baron Wang Teng, I have admired you for a long time!” Zhou Jingtian cupped his fists in greeting.
“Baron Zhou Jingtian, please be seated,” the young commander said politely.
