1254 Buddha’s Sutra!

There wasn’t any suspense about Crofts’s ending. There was no room for redemption if he was court-martialed.
The military court was the highest authority in the Great Qian Empire’s forces and it couldn’t be trampled on.
It was impossible for anyone, not even someone from the Parkers family, to ignore the majesty of the military court and attempt to rescue Crofts.
Crofts’s career in the military was over. He would lose his position, rights, and maybe even his life.
The war had just ended. Assaulting and trying to kill a martial warrior who had made great contributions was a violation of the military code.
Moreover, something like this couldn’t be kept under the sheets. Once it was made known, it would enrage countless martial warriors enlisted.
They fought against dark apparitions on the frontlines with their lives on the line. But now, they were getting attacked by their fellow humans. What was the logic behind this?
Although they weren’t the ones being attacked, they shared the same hatred.
Once a precedent was set, there would be many future occurrences like this one.
Given the circumstances, leaving Crofts unpunished would never defuse the anger felt by those in the military.
General Cameron and the others left, then Wang Teng got up and also left the hall. His expression was calm, so calm that Crofts found it hard to accept.
Shouldn’t Wang Teng be happy now that he had brought down a great enemy?
Why does he seem like he only did a small thing?
Crofts was unable to stomach such contempt. This only meant that Wang Teng didn’t take him seriously at all.
Being underestimated by someone he considered inferior was undoubtedly the biggest blow to a failure like him.
…
Wang Teng returned to his residence and was ready to get a good rest.
He would have been unable to hold on after repeated battles if it wasn’t for his ability to speed his recovery by picking up attribute bubbles.
However, his spirit was a little tired, even if his body could last.
He didn’t do anything. He took out a pile of delicacies to eat and slept after that. It wasn’t a long while before a soft snoring could be heard.
Round Ball appeared beside him and shook its head. There was a little concern in its eyes.
Wang Teng slept soundly this time; his body and mind were relaxed.
Waking up the following day, he felt that his entire body was cleared of any fatigue and felt extremely comfortable.
“Looks like you have to balance work and rest. It’s not good to push too hard.”
Wang Teng shook his head and smiled bitterly while he stretched his back.
“Wang Teng, you have a few messages.” Round Ball’s voice could be heard in Wang Teng’s mind.
“Let me see.” Wang Teng nodded.
There were three messages in total, the first being from General Cameron; it was a letter of appointment as the Tiger Strike Force’s commander. He was also informed to collect his military uniform from the logistics department within three days and to show up for his new post.
“Three days. There’s no rush then.”
Wang Teng took a look at the second message, which was from Peggy. She was asking how he was doing. Based on the words, it wasn’t difficult to see that she was a little… concerned about him.
After all, not everyone could stand such an intense battle.
“Wang Teng, looks like your adjutant is interested in you.” Round Ball snickered.
“I’m handsome. I’m loved wherever I go,” Wang Teng said shamelessly.
Round Ball was rendered speechless after having underestimated his unabashed nature.
Wang Teng hesitated for a bit, but still replied to Peggy with a short message.
In any case, she was concerned about him. He couldn’t just pretend he didn’t see anything.
On the other side—a pretty smile appeared on Peggy’s mouth as she received Wang Teng’s message.
She usually had a serious and cold appearance. The sudden appearance of a smile was quite breathtaking.
It was a pity that no one could see it.
Peggy didn’t reply to the message, simply closing her eyes and resuming her cultivation. She already felt the gap between her strength and Wang Teng’s. Catching up was basically impossible, but she still had to work hard to shorten the distance; otherwise, she might not even be able to see his back in the future.
The third message was from Di Qi who also asked about his condition.
Wang Teng replied casually, not bothering much about it.
At this time—probably due to the relaxed state of both body and mind—he felt that the inherited memory from the Devouring Nihility Beast had loosened up. Many memory pieces were naturally integrated into his mind and digested by him.
He then sat cross-legged on the bed and shut his eyes.
Time passed little by little. His eyes opened about three hours later. A strange light flashed in his pupils.
