Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Surrender Command

Ling Feng looked at Chen Tie with a faint smile: "Oh, I’m curious what brilliant plan Senior Chen might have?"

"I just don’t want to waste time here!" Chen Tie said blandly. "We have heavy responsibilities entrusted to us by the organization, how can we indulge here? If Captain Ling is reluctant to part with the comfortable life here, he can hand over the mission to us, and we’ll complete it just as well!"

Chen Tie’s words carried sarcasm; from the very start, he looked down on Ling Feng. Although Ling Feng’s abilities were superior, in terms of experience and overall capability, what qualifications did Ling Feng have to be the commander, relying on his few solo missions? Can solo operations compare to coordinated missions?

Thus, when Chen Tie hadn’t received any tasks from Ling Feng all day, he couldn’t resist coming to question him.

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng’s eyes brightened upon hearing Chen Tie’s words: "It’s gratifying to see Senior Chen so aware! Please, Senior Chen, be patient; by tomorrow morning, I’ll hand all tasks over to you. Knowing my limitations, I hope Senior Chen can bear with it!"

A hint of anger appeared on Chen Tie’s face: "Fine, I’ll wait and see!"

With that, Chen Tie turned around with a livid expression and left.

"How did it go? What did Captain Ling say?" Back in the room, the others gathered around.

Chen Tie, still furious, delivered Ling Feng’s words to the group: "This decision to let Ling Feng be the overall commander by the Dragon King is definitely a mistake! I doubt he even has a plan, how are we supposed to complete the Dragon Group’s mission this way?"

Another middle-aged man furrowed his brow: "Chen Tie, did he really say that? It shouldn’t be."

"Zhou Hang, what do you mean? You think I’m lying to you?" Chen Tie said indignantly: "I suspect he doesn’t even have an action plan in mind, he’s just a guy under thirty—what experience and ability does he have to command the whole operation?"

"I agree with Chen Tie!" Another middle-aged man laughed. "And I suspect the Dragon King just wants to glorify Ling Feng by letting him be the commander! After all, Ling Feng is the Dragon King’s disciple, and everyone surely knows this!"

Zhou Hang sighed: "I thought Ling Feng would be a youthful talent, but didn’t expect..."

"Perhaps he’s even lost in a gentle village; we all saw the appearance of that Fusang woman today..."

"Ah, I hope we can complete the mission perfectly this time, otherwise we’ll lose face!"

After a brief discussion, everyone went back to their rooms.

Meanwhile, Yamato Haruko was contacting the Dark Church inside the Emperor’s inner chambers.

"Yamato Haruko, since you’re reaching out, I take it you’ve already decided?" asked a dry-faced Western man, smiling brightly from the screen’s other side.

Yamato Haruko said blandly: "Lord Dallas of the Dark Church, our Fusang hopes for aid from the Dark Church."

"That’s easy enough—if you agree to our conditions, our elite from the Dark Church will promptly land in Fusang to help you drive away those Divine Realm lurkers!" Dallas said, smiling broadly.

Yamato Haruko smiled slightly: "Though Fusang needs the Dark Church’s assistance, those terms...shouldn’t we negotiate? Establishing the Dark Church as Fusang’s national religion seems quite unsuitable, doesn’t it?"

"What’s unsuitable about that?" A red flash passed through Dallas’s eyes. "Lady Seiko, remember that nothing is free in this world. Without the Dark Church’s help, how long do you think Fusang can hold on? Don’t forget, your Fusang Government promised to clear the Divine Realm within a week, or else..."

After some verbal sparring, Yamato Haruko finally reached a consensus with Dallas, with both parties making concessions in their terms. Negotiating with someone as old and undying as Dallas was utterly exhausting for Yamato Haruko.

"Oh, by the way, Lady Seiko, there’s something I’d like to confirm with you!" Dallas said, smilingly.

Yamato Haruko asked coolly: "What is it?"

Dallas laughed heartily: "Our Young Master is quite fond of you; I wonder if you are still a virgin? If not, our Young Master would surely be very upset, hahaha..."

With a ’啪’ sound, Yamato Haruko turned off the screen, her brows furrowing, teeth tightly clenched: "Damn Dark Church..."

...

Early the next day, Ling Feng energetically gathered the Dragon Group.

"Gathering you all here is for better completion of the Dragon Group’s mission!" Ling Feng said straight to the point: "After a day of careful thinking yesterday, I made an important decision!"

Below, Chen Tie sneered dismissively.

Ling Feng continued: "I am aware of my lack of seniority and experience, so I will hand over the command to Senior Chen Tie for this mission, and most members of the action group will follow Senior Chen Tie’s directives."

Looking at Chen Tie, Ling Feng said with a smile: "Senior Chen Tie, I hope you can fulfill what you said last night and complete the mission promptly!"

After finishing these words, Ling Feng turned and left confidently, leaving the crowd staring wide-eyed—Ling Feng’s way of doing things was indeed...

"Chen Tie, it turns out Ling Feng is indeed as you described!" Zhou Hang couldn’t help shaking his head: "I don’t think he intends to complete the mission. What do you say we do?"

Chen Tie clenched his teeth: "No matter what Ling Feng thinks, I, Chen Tie, will complete the Dragon Group’s mission. Let’s first come up with a plan!"

Back in his room, Bai Feifei asked worriedly: "Ling Feng, are you really letting Senior Chen Tie take command? Aren’t you afraid they’ll ruin your plans?"

"What plan do I have?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

Bai Feifei rolled her eyes: "Alright, stop pretending in front of me; you’re not someone who improvises at the last minute. I’m sure you’ve got a full plan in your mind, right?"

Ling Feng wrapped his arm around Bai Feifei’s waist and chuckled: "No wonder you’re my woman, truly brilliant! But don’t worry, causing a stir could still be beneficial for Chen Tie and the others. However...without intelligence from the Inoue Family and Divine Gate, what do you think they can achieve?"

Bai Feifei thought briefly and suddenly understood.

The reason the Dragon King sent Ling Feng was due to Ling Feng’s connections with the Inoue Family and the Divine Gate. Although the Dragon Group is composed of elites, without intelligence support, what can they achieve in just seven days? They might not even locate the Divine Realm’s headquarters.
