Chapter 863: Chapter 770: Return to Starshine_3

“`

…

Outer City, Security Team.

Tao Tong changed into his uniform and swiftly made his way to his own squad, then stretched out his hand to knock on the already open door

“Alright, time to get to work.”

Ever since the demonization trait healed his legs, Tao Tong has been full of vigor, energy, and spirit every day.

…

Even though his younger brother has left Starshine City, the network and resources he left behind continue to provide unbelievable benefits.

In such a short time, with demonization, inner strength, his previous foundation, and his talent for dynamic vision, he has become an intermediate partner; He is now an absolute top-tier player in the Outer City Security Team.

If it weren’t for recognizing his own lack of management skills, Uncle Hu would have probably promoted him to vice-captain in charge of a district rather than having him still lead a small team.

In fact, the income from this job doesn’t even compare to just staying at home and collecting the ‘living allowance’ from Dada Company.

However, Tao Tong, who’s used to the hard life, does not want to idle about and seeks to do what he can.

He doesn’t know much about the business side, and while his abilities are passable in the Inner City, he’s not part of the New Development Zone, so he couldn’t adapt to working for the Dada Company and had to return to his old line of work in the Outer City.

Although he now lives in the Inner City and returns there every day, Tao Tong is still more accustomed to the environment of the Outer City.

Even though it’s filthy and unpleasant, it’s also where people can truly relax.

Plus, now that Uncle Hu is the Captain of the whole Outer City Security Team, there aren’t any pressures…

“Ah~, Captain Tao…”

“No way, on duty again.”

“Can we have a day off, just one day.”

“…”

After Tao Tong knocked, the members of the Security Team inside assumed rigid postures on their feet, though their mouths were filled with groans and moans.

While Tao Tong’s strength is considerable within the Security Team, his good nature and treatment of his subordinates mean they like to jest and banter with him.

Even with their complaints, their actions of getting ready are unhindered.

“C’mon Captain Tao, when the vice-captain for the East City District was replaced last time, why didn’t you fight for the position? We thought you were a shoo-in.”

“Ha~, Captain Hu is Captain Tao’s uncle. If Captain Tao wanted to move up, he’d have done so already, could’ve used an excuse to topple someone else and take their place, not to mention there’s also the support of Eight-Armed Vajra.”

“Captain Tao just can’t bear to leave us behind, haha~”

“I suspect what you really want is for Captain Tao to get promoted, so you’d be free to slack off, isn’t that right?”

The members of Tao Tong’s team banter with grinning faces, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Members of the Security Team are at least required to have some combat talent and undergo unified training; thus, it’s a comfortable and decent job in the Outer City.

However, due to the peculiar environment in the Outer City, the Security Team usually only deals with major events, as the day-to-day management falls under different gangs’ jurisdictions—it just shouldn’t escalate to involve the Security Team.

That’s why life in the Security Team has been pretty laid-back, mostly training and tea-drinking.

Tao Tong’s serious attitude towards patrolling with his team is somewhat of an anomaly.

If it were someone else, they might have even faced ostracism.

Nevertheless, supported by his intimidating background, Tao Tong is faced with smiles and praise, lauding him for his dedication and his contribution to the security of the Outer City…

“Forget it, we have a day off tomorrow, tonight we have a dinner gathering.”

Tao Tong chuckled.

“Yay~”

“The captain always does Dutch for dinners, never treating us.”

“Ha, it’s only by sticking with the captain that we can afford to eat things from Pavilion of Eats with a discount…”

“Dutch treat it is then.”

“…”

Hearing Tao Tong’s words, the faces of the Security Team members brightened up.

Although the Security Team members’ earnings in the Outer City are fairly decent, the consumption levels in the Inner City are still daunting.

Yet, thanks to Tao Yu, Tao Tong is able to eat at Pavilion of Eats with a 90% discount. Even if the discounted price is still steep for them, the rare chance to enjoy fine dining and socialize is gladly welcomed.

Plus, it brings them prestige to brag about later.

His squad is the only one in the entire Security Team to dine at such high-end venues.

“You guys…”

Tao Tong shook his head and smiled at his team members. Feeling the powerful strength in his legs and the relaxed atmosphere, he still found his current situation somewhat unreal.

After so many tough years and even facing disability, he had lived through difficult times.

He thought that was how his life would always be, with his family background unable to afford treatments for his legs, not biological or mechanical prostheses.

But the sudden rise of his younger brother turned things around.

For this reason, even now, when he does spend money, he still subconsciously saves.

“These past few days, the Black Rat Gang has been overstepping. Today we’re going to give them a warning.”

Tao Tong laid out the day’s plan.

“Ah, we’re going again, but as the captain says.”

“Let’s finish up and go for the meal.”

“Actually, captain, we really don’t need to meddle in this; the Black Rat Gang is backed by several Inner City powerhouses…”

“Why worry? Our captain is from a powerhouse family too.”

The team members felt somewhat helpless regarding Tao Tong’s decision. Now, several gangs supported by the Inner City contend with the Chaoyang Society.

Other Security Team members pretend as if nothing happened, but Tao Tong’s squad frequents their patrols, thwarting any excessive actions.
