Chapter 810: Master of Getting into Trouble

Confident in his position at the Falcon Main Camp, the Officer was utterly fearless. However, his smug grin quickly vanished as a fist landed heavily on his nose. Amidst his screams, Tom grabbed him by the collar and gave him a thorough lesson on what it meant to take a beating…

“Whoa!” With a knee strike to the man’s abdomen, Tom made his body curl up like a shrimp, and the man opened his mouth to spew out a large amount of bile.

“Can’t take a hit.” Tom scoffed, releasing his grip. With a thud, the man lay twitching on the ground, his pain-stricken face embedded in the puddle of sticky vomit.

The surrounding Soldiers were dumbfounded. Tom’s speed was astonishing. From the first punch to the opponent collapsing, it had taken less than ten seconds. It wasn’t until Tom walked away that someone finally snapped out of their shock and hurriedly helped the wailing Officer up.

“I’ve heard that some folks here are asking for trouble, but I didn’t expect to actually meet one.” Tom shook his wrist and said, “Next time I hear you spouting nonsense, I’ll make sure you vomit up your guts! Jason…”

“Here!”

“Let’s go.”

Tom spat on the ground and then headed towards the Helicopter with Jason.

However, before they’d gone far, a sinister glint flashed in the Officer’s eyes. He quickly drew a gun, aiming it fiercely at Tom, his face twitching as he shouted, “You dare walk away!”

Tom and Jason turned their heads simultaneously, startled by the sight of the gun barrel. Jason quickly disarmed him, shouting, “What do you think you’re doing!”

Meanwhile, Tom’s expression shifted. He then calmly asked, “Do you dare shoot?”

The Officer sneered, wiping the blood from his nose with a hand, and said, “The folks from the Second Camp sure have some nerve, daring to cause trouble in our Main Camp? Heh… Men! Disarm him and arrest him! Tom, if you dare resist, you’ll be committing treason. I have the right to execute you on the spot!” He then glanced at Jason, “Take his gun too.”

“You wouldn’t dare…”

Jason was just about to raise his firearm, but Tom quickly pressed down on his shoulder, “Don’t be rash… I’ll go with them.”

“Captain!”

“Enough!” Tom’s pupils slightly contracted, and his voice lowered significantly, “Otherwise, we’ll play right into their hands…”

…

“And then Captain Tom was taken away by them, and I was also questioned once. Five days later, Captain Tom was finally released. I heard it was all thanks to Zhang Yu pulling some strings. When he came back, Captain Tom had visibly lost weight, and his eyes were bloodshot…” As he recounted this, Jason’s expression turned furious, and he forcefully swung a clenched fist.

Ling Mo frowned deeply as he listened, while Xia Na chimed in, “I see… I understand what you’re getting at. How should I put it… A low-ranking Officer dared to act so arrogantly towards you and even ordered Tom’s arrest… In a way, his behavior might actually reflect the attitude of the Falcon senior management towards the Second Camp?”

Tom held a significant position in the Second Camp, and his personal involvement in transporting the medicine underscored the importance the Second Camp placed on the matter. Yet, this Officer chose to pick a fight over it, and in such an infuriating manner…

“It’s a case of those below emulating those above. If the senior management hadn’t made their stance clear, their subordinates wouldn’t be so blatant. Tom’s arrest must have caused a stir among the Falcon senior management, yet he was still detained for five days and was treated poorly…”

Ling Mo pondered, then asked, “Isn’t there more to it?”

Jason sighed and nodded, “This kind of thing has happened several times before, but I brought it up this time because I witnessed it firsthand. However, Captain Tom’s arrest did cause quite a stir, and it further strained the relationship between the Main Camp and us… but on the surface, these conflicts are still being kept within a manageable scope, and there’s no sign of an imminent outbreak.”

“So… that means there’s a fuse now? And the reason Yuwen Xuan isn’t letting us go directly to the Second Camp is because this fuse is burning?” Ling Mo continued to ask.

“You could say that… Recently, the Main Camp suddenly made a decision to requisition half of our Helicopters and Pilots to be stationed permanently at the Main Camp to facilitate their operations. They claim this will prevent further conflicts and reduce our workload. As compensation, they promised to send more food and manpower…”

Jason said indignantly, “But these are just empty promises. The food will run out eventually, and the manpower they send is sure to be those they don’t want to support anymore-the old, weak, and disabled! Even I, Jason, can see they intend to further weaken our Second Camp, taking full control of our air power! Now their people are stationed at our Second Camp, and there are quite a few of them… Previously they planted a number of people among us, and now these people all back the Main Camp’s decision!”

At this point, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and grabbed Ling Mo’s arm, “Ling-Ge, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Commander and them, but when I think of who could help, you guys are the only ones that come to mind!” ŔÁΝÓᛒƐŜ

Jason looked anxious, and his tone was a bit emotional. Ling Mo glanced at him, his mind quickly spinning in thought.

To be honest, Ling Mo didn’t enjoy getting involved in power struggles and preferred to stay out of them. However, when it concerned Yuwen Xuan and the Second Camp, it became an entirely different matter. When he had left the Air Force Corps to Yuwen Xuan, it was merely to leave himself a safety net. But after facing challenges from Niepan, he had come to deeply understand the importance of power. This power included not only his own abilities but also a wealth of resources and manpower.

The small force he had left behind couldn’t compare to these large camps. Moreover, he had a stake in the Second Camp, and Falcon’s attempt to divide it harmed his interests.

Even setting all that aside, he couldn’t just let Yuwen Xuan be bullied by others!

After some reflection, Ling Mo’s gaze on Jason turned somewhat complex. He smiled, patting Jason on the shoulder, “Did Tom put you up to this? Or was it Zhang Yu?”

Jason’s expression shifted slightly, and he awkwardly twitched his mouth before scratching his head with embarrassment and replied, “It… it was Zhang Yu’s idea… He also told me to let you know that Falcon is watching us, so for your safety, and to buy more time, you should stay here for now. But rest assured, when you’re needed, we’ll reach out to you. He also said…”

After hesitating for a moment, Jason bit his lip and said quietly, “This might be the opportunity for the Second Camp to become fully independent. The Air Force Corps is your achievement, and if it succeeds, we could gain quite a bit from Falcon… Although Zhang Yu isn’t the one who decides how it’s split, with Yuwen Xuan there, he won’t let you lose out…”

After saying this, Jason’s face turned completely red, and the veins stood out on the hand gripping his weapon, showing his agitation. However, upon closer observation, there was a hint of fear beneath his excitement. After all, this was no small matter… and their only hope of support lay with Ling Mo and his group…

“Hmm…” Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked another question, “You mentioned that the root cause here involves me. What’s that about?”

“Oh, that? Well, that’s something I said,” Jason lifted his head and explained, “Everyone knows about the relationship between the Commander and you, and the Commander often mentions you… I heard from Captain Tom that for some critical decisions, the Commander even said that you should make the call… If the Second Camp were completely under the Commander’s control, maybe the Main Camp would just be worried, because after all, the Commander came from the Main Camp. But if the real powerful ruler is someone else…”

“But if that person is an outsider, then Falcon would be really scared, right?” Ling Mo continued.

Jason gave Ling Mo an embarrassed look, silently agreeing with him.

Ling Mo turned his head away, speechlessly saying, “Yuwen Xuan doesn’t obsess over Yalin all the time, so why is he constantly bringing me up? Isn’t he just asking for trouble!”

“He’s basically the master of getting into trouble…” Xia Na giggled.

Even Li Yalin nodded in agreement, then furrowed her brows, “He dares to get involved with me…”

“The problem is that his troublemaking got me dragged into this too! Now Falcon might screw me over and potentially the Second Camp too… Talk about being attacked from all sides! Another masterpiece from the grand troublemaker!” Ling Mo said, clearly frustrated.

Standing to the side, Jason was at a loss. He desperately wished he could find a hole to crawl into. While they could speak freely about the Commander, couldn’t they at least do it behind his back? How’s he supposed to handle this?

Most importantly, while listening to Ling Mo’s group rant, why did he find himself involuntarily nodding in agreement?

“No, no… I can’t think like this. If I admit the Commander is messing up, wouldn’t that make our camp a mess-up camp? That’s not acceptable…”

As Jason shook his head internally, they reached a tightly closed Iron Door. Behind it was a long lane, lined with numerous parked vehicles, and at the end of the lane, the Oil Depot was clearly visible… They had arrived at Zone B.
