1435 You’re Putting Me in a Tough Spot.
Wang Teng was surprised by the call.
He thought he was just a stand-in for the military. He didn’t expect they would take the matter so seriously.
After Major Maxwell’s hologram disappeared, Wang Teng looked away and leaned back on his seat. He then closed his eyes and went into deep thought.
Round Ball appeared and floated near his left side. “The military wants to make a role model out of you.
“Everything lined up coincidentally. You made great achievements on Defense Planet No. 29, right when the League of Talents was just around the corner. They know you’ll stand out in the event because they understand how powerful you are.
“Their reputation will improve if they make you a figurehead for the military before you become really famous.
“Of course, this is a win-win situation. You’re using the military’s power and they’re using your fame.”
“I know.” Wang Teng nodded. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking how I can make use of this.”
“What do you need to do? The military has everything figured out. You just need to be the mascot.” Round Ball smiled
“I became a mascot!” The young fellow didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The little one continued, “But, you still need to set the League of Talents on fire, or the military’s effort will go to waste.”
Wang Teng didn’t reply. His expression remained confident.
He was invincible in his cultivation level.
He believed that no other celestial warrior could beat him if he used all his skills.
He was certain about this.
Round Ball looked at his expression and felt a little conflicted.
Half a year prior, when news of the League of Talents had first rolled out, the little one felt that Wang Teng didn’t have the ability to fight against real talents, even though he was strong, too.
After all, there were numerous geniuses in the Great Qian Empire.
It was extremely difficult to stand out in a crowd.
However, this thinking had changed entirely that day.
Round Ball witnessed the young man’s growth, from his time on earth to the Great Qian Empire, seeing how he rose from a backwards planet and entered the vast universe stage.
He kept shining, still outstanding even in the scope of the Great Qian Empire, no matter how difficult it was.
He met Ferya, a talent from the Pan-Cosmic Alliance, yet he still defeated her.
That was enough to prove that the young hero possessed the ability to compete with the other talents in the universe.
Wang Teng stood up and said, “Let me take a look at the Black Leaf Mercenary Team.”
He took those people along when he left planet Light Velvet.
Well, he couldn’t let them stay there, could he?
Ren Gulan’s brother had placed a tracking device on her ship; he would definitely act and look for her if the craft stopped moving for long.
Planet Light Velvet was already registered under his and Ferya’s name, so he wasn’t afraid of the mercenaries taking action.
If they weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t touch the place.
However, tensions could arise if he left Ren Gulan on the planet. The Light Velvet people were still too weak to confront the Black Leaf Mercenary Team.
That was why the young hero took the hostages away. The tracking beacon would follow his movement.
Once the mercenary head noticed a change in location, they wouldn’t go to the remote planet, especially after knowing that its owner wasn’t someone that could be provoked.
Still, the Black Leaf Mercenary Team gave Wang Teng a headache.
There were conflicts between them. Ren Gulan and the others got caught the moment they landed on planet Light Velvet. Until then, they had behaved properly.
This had left our hero in a tough spot.
Soon, he reached the containment area where he locked them up. Cao Hongtu was watching over the room.
He had been recuperating inside the Flaming River after Wang Teng planted the spiritual mark on him.
There wasn’t anything for him to do; the young man asked him to guard the prisoners.
Cao Hongtu stood up when he saw Wang Teng arrive. “Master!”
“Good.” Wang Teng was satisfied with the fellow’s attitude, acting more obedient than Cao Jiaojiao.
Cao Jiaojiao wouldn’t dare say a thing because of his oppressive aura, but her stubborness and unwillingness to relent had never changed.
The metal door opened. Wang Teng entered the cell.
Ren Gulan looked at Wang Teng with fear in her eyes.
She already knew that he wasn’t an ordinary warrior. This spacecraft they were in was at least of heaven level rank.
Forgive them for their shallow knowledge; they couldn’t possibly tell it was actually a universe level spacecraft.
If not, their shock would have been greater.
However, she also realized that the person appointed to guard them was a heaven stage warrior.
Come on!
