Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 688: Section 683 - Guests

Chen Fei spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders at the rebel officers, and said nothing more.

He really didn't mean that!

"Come sit at my place for a while; those guys, no matter how anxious, need some time to prepare before they can start dissecting."

Legion Commander Befas of the "Radiant Tiger" called over his nephew Minante and Chen Fei.

The news Chen Fei relayed via Minante was indeed shocking—who would have thought that during a fierce battle between the rebel army and the Slan Dynasty's suppression forces, a terrifying extraterrestrial race would suddenly appear, scaring the high-ranking members of the rebel army who knew about it.

Wasn't the channel for the "Sagali" invasion of Cangqiong Star closed thirty years ago?

How could it appear again?

Merely thinking about it made one's scalp tingle.

The office of the "Radiant Tiger" Legion's commander was quite spartan, located at one end of the legion's headquarters barracks, separated by a glass partition, equipped with a desk, a bookshelf, and a single bed.

Through the not-so-soundproof glass wall, one could directly see the busy command center; drawing the curtains turned it into a dormitory, combining work and accommodation in one space.

"I apologize for the humble conditions, please make do."

Befas personally poured rough tea for Chen Fei and his nephew Minante from a full-metal big teapot, tossing in a few leaves of coarse tea—plenty to go around.

"Thank you!"

Chen Fei, not being bashful, took the large cup and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

There wouldn't be a problem with the tea, no need for poison; if they really wanted to take his life, they could have done so when he first got out of the car by simply calling out, and tomorrow would be termed Chen Xiao'er's memorial day.

Once Befas was seated, he leisurely asked, "Little Chen, why are you clashing with the Righteous Army? I heard the corps that attacked the Dimensional Gate Management Substation suffered heavy casualties, even the Metallic Giants Dragons deployed on the battlefield were driven off."

"Yeah, 'Rookie', weren't you on Blue Star? How did you end up in Nandu City?"

Minante was also puzzled and surprised to encounter Chen Fei on the battlefield in Zilu Continent under hostile circumstances.

"It's for work, I received two, no, three commissions."

Chen Fei counted off three fingers one by one.

Of course, he wasn't intentionally opposing the rebel army. The rebel army wanted to restore the glory of the Tessa Empire; that had nothing to do with Chen Fei, a pure Blue Star person, even if they overthrew the Slan Dynasty and became the new rulers of Cangqiong Star, he wouldn't care.

Befas spoke unhurriedly, "Could you elaborate?"

He also didn't believe that Chen Fei, a Blue Star man, was intentionally waging war against the Righteous Army, even if he wasn't a friend of his nephew; there must be some reason.

"I am commissioned by the Slan Royal Family to assist in capturing Xia Ji, a core member of the fugitive 'Water Bear' organization, which secretly researches and breeds mutants on Blue Star and even aims to wipe out multiple military contractors at aircrew bases. The 'Water Bear' organization is now fully wanted by the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee. Xia Ji is a very important fugitive. The second commission is from the president of Louis Industrial Company, Louis Landon, specifically about a 'prophecy.' The extraterrestrial race 'Sagali' is attempting to use the rebels, oh no, the Righteous Army, seizing the chance to take over the South City Suburbs Ground Dimensional Gate Management Substation, to obtain the spatial coordinates 'Longinus,' and launch a full-scale invasion. The third commission is the defense contract for the South City Suburbs Ground Dimensional Gate Management Substation. There are three commissions in total, coincidentally all coming together."

Luckily, these were jobs that could be carried out simultaneously; otherwise, running around everywhere catching this and chasing that, Chen Fei wouldn't be able to handle such a workload. Handling one commission at a time was the normal procedure.

"'Water Bear,' 'Sagali,' no wonder..."

Minante's mouth twitched. He had no idea that Chen Fei had accepted so many commissions that were troublesome even to think about.

A normal person really couldn't handle such tasks.

As it happened, the Righteous Army initiated action, targeting the Ground Dimensional Gate Management Substation as a tactical objective, and a series of coincidences clashed directly with Chen Fei's commissions.

"Hmm! So, the Ground Dimensional Gate Management Substation has such hidden dangers."

Even Befas, one of the top leaders of the Righteous Army, did not want the Righteous Army to inadvertently pave the way for the extraterrestrial "Sagali" to take over the portal and use 'Longinus' to launch an invasion.

In some ways, preventing these parasitic species from invading was of a higher priority than rebuilding the glory of the Tessa Empire.

If they still obstinately focused on reviving the glory of the Tessa Empire while ignoring the invasion of the extraterrestrial races, most likely, most people would not support such foolishly single-minded actions, not even Legion Commander Befas of the "Radiant Tiger"."

If the extraterrestrial "Sagali" fully invaded, the human race would become their food; even if the Tessa Empire was rebuilt, it would only be a fleeting presence.

"Also, 'Rookie,' you mentioned Louis Landon's prophecy. What exactly is that prophecy?"

Minante could understand the Slan Royal Family chasing a prison escapee and the importance of 'Longinus,' but he was struck by the unusual word 'prophecy.'

"The Doomsday Prophecy: the destruction of Blue Star human civilization, Blue Star and Cangqiong Star isolated, perhaps... Cangqiong Star might not escape unscathed."

"The prophecy" only involved Blue Star and didn't mention Cangqiong Star; according to Chen Fei's guess, the situation on Cangqiong Star's side probably wouldn't be much better than that of Blue Star.

The greedy parasitic species would not miss an opportunity to exploit a planet with richer ecological resources."

"Hiss..."×2

Befas and Minante, the uncle and nephew duo, simultaneously gasped a breath of cold air.

"This prophecy is truly terrifying!"

The commander of the "Radiant Tiger" legion shook his head continuously.

Fortunately, the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation was not breached, otherwise the Righteous Army would have committed an irreparable mistake, which would not only endanger the lives on the Zilu Continent but possibly even the entire Cangqiong Star.

"'Rookie,' if I had killed you during the last battle…"

Minante spoke of a possibility, but as he spoke, he suddenly shuddered all over.

He had not only killed his good friend, Hammu, the former captain of Gale Team, but if he had also killed another friend, "Rookie" Chen Fei, allowing the extraterrestrial race "Sagali" to invade unimpeded, he would have been the greatest sinner in the history of civilization, single-handedly dooming two planets' civilizations.

Fortunately ... none of this had happened.

He looked towards Chen Fei, his heart still trembling with residual fear.

"Befas, I heard you had a visitor here!"

There was a burst of noise outside the legion headquarters' barracks, followed by a boisterous voice that penetrated the single-layer not so soundproof transparent glass wall and reached the ears of the three men inside the commander's office.

"Why did that guy come here?"

Legion Commander Befas frowned slightly as he recognized the speaker.

Another legion's commander, Valenya.

He immediately stood up, pushed the sliding door, and said to the "Undying Pigeon" legion's commander forcing his way past the guards and military police, "Valenya, what are you doing here instead of guarding the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation?"

The Rebel Army currently surrounding the South City Suburbs Ground Dimensional Gate Management Substation was the "Undying Pigeon" legion.

"I heard that 'Radiant Tiger' received a batch of unusual gifts, I specifically came to take a look and also to visit the 'Dragon Slayer' who defeated the Metallic Dragons."

A rough military officer with a thick beard but ungroomed appearance strode into Befas' partitioned office, his piercing gaze scanning around before settling on Chen Fei.

"Little Chen is my guest, do not get any ideas about him!"

Befas gave a knowing look to his nephew, and Minante immediately stepped without hesitation in front of Chen Fei.

It was evident that the relationship between the commanders of the "Undying Pigeon" and "Radiant Tiger" legions was not very good.

Valenya said carelessly, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm not going to eat him."

His gaze fixed on Chen Fei behind Minante, he sneered and said, "Being able to defeat the trump card of the 'Undying Pigeon'... worthy of being called 'Dragon Slayer.' But I wonder... if you are just as tough on the ground! Take him down."

As soon as these words were uttered, several people rushed out from behind the commander of the "Undying Pigeon" legion, and lunged towards Minante and Chen Fei.

"Stop!"

Befas's hair and beard bristled like steel pins.

Then there was a cracking sound as the partitioned office was hit by a tornado, with desks, chairs, and bookshelves instantly shattered, and all the partition glass walls smashed to pieces.

The dazzling Battle Qi Flame surged non-stop, with intense red, piercing blue, and solemn yellow. Multiple Battle Qi Flames and Magic Shields' lights reflected and highlighted each other.

A large hole appeared in the barracks wall, and Minante was the first to be blasted out. His Battle Qi cultivation was utterly insufficient in such a situation; he lay outside on the ground, spewing a spray of blood mist, unable to rise again.

Chen Fei, with his arms twisted behind his back, grimaced and said, "I mean, you don't need to be so rough. I'm just a weak, pitiful, helpless B-level supernatural power user, and I've also been injected with a Supernatural Ability Suppressant. I can't use Battle Qi or magic; even an elementary student could knock me down. Hey, you two don't need to be so serious."

It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but the opponent moved too quickly, and he didn't even have time to activate the Neanderthal's Secret Technique.

The incessant influx of external Battle Qi even made Chen Fei's muscle fibers feel as if they were being torn apart strand by strand, both painful and itchy, completely rendering him powerless.

However, Chen Fei's words did not earn him any leniency; instead, his joints were restricted even more forcefully, and he was pricked with another needle, not knowing what he was being injected with.

Dammit, all he did today was get jabbed with needles.

Befas, who had just exchanged a fierce punch with Valenya, looked like an enraged lion.

"Valenya, what are you trying to do? Does the 'Undying Pigeon' plan on starting a war with 'Radiant Tiger'?"

He never imagined that the other side would say one thing and do another, daring to launch a direct attack right in front of him.

"Befas, don't ruin the good relations over an enemy!"

Valenya let out a strange laugh, seemingly unconcerned whether the two legions would engage in a major internal clash.
