"Old Guo!?"

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, the two quickly stood up to greet him.

The visitor was none other than Guo Jing, the highest-ranking commander of the Dragon Kingdom's capital military region.

He looked energetic, his weathered eyes shining brightly, as if the presence of US military troops had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Mr. Guo, are you alright in the US?"

"Though I am an old man, I am not someone those petty scoundrels can do anything to!"

Guo Jing's gaze sharpened, and although the corners of his mouth were still curved in a smile, his aura changed instantly.

The imposing aura inspired everyone present.

"As expected of you!"

Su Bai praised it.

This unparalleled demeanor made Su Bai admire Guo Jing even more.

"Haha, I still can't compare to you."

Guo Jing waved his hand, gesturing for the two of them to sit down together.

Su Bai sat down at his prompting, but Wang Zhenguo remained standing.

He bowed deeply to Guo Jing, his voice strong and resonant.

"I will take full responsibility for the huge losses caused by our failure to guard against the ghost agents this time!"

After saying those words, Wang Zhenguo even seemed relieved.

He had always felt uneasy about the military region suffering such a loss.

As a soldier, he was proud and would not handle this incident carelessly!

They will not make any attempt to defend themselves or play the victim.

Su Bai wanted to say a few words in his defense, but after thinking for half a second, she said nothing.

He also understood Wang Zhenguo's pride and self-esteem.

Soldiers have always been averse to making excuses. By speaking up for Wang Zhenguo, he was not helping him, but pushing his self-esteem into an even deeper abyss.

"look up."

After a long silence, Guo Jing finally spoke slowly.

Wang Zhenguo stood up, his back straighter than a steel plate.

"He definitely needs to be punished! He needs to write me a performance review report after this incident!"

"yes!"

"besides……"

Hearing this, Su Bai couldn't help but want to say a few words on behalf of Wang Zhenguo.

Guo Jing's serious expression suddenly changed.

"You did a great job."

He comforted you, saying, "Don't panic when things happen. Report promptly and fight the enemy with all your might. You have done everything in an orderly manner and fulfilled what a soldier should do."

"Old Guo..."

Wang Zhenguo felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot.

"You and Su Bai are both the pride of my Dragon Kingdom, how could I blame you? Please sit down."

"yes!"

He bowed solemnly again before sitting down.

Guo Jing's approving gaze also fell on Su Bai's head, "Thanks to you this time!"

“Su Bai, although you are still young, you are already capable of standing on your own! I’m afraid you’ll catch up with me soon.”

"Compared to Mr. Guo, I am still very inexperienced."

This time, Su Bai was truly humble.

No matter how proud he was, he wouldn't dare compare himself to Guo Jing.

"I'm getting old, and the Dragon Kingdom is to be handed over to you young people."

Guo Jing waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be modest, "Besides, you are loyal and righteous, and people with this kind of character are destined to go far!"

"Thank you, Mr. Guo! I will continue to work hard!"

Su Bai quickly thanked him.

Looking at his humble and polite demeanor, Guo Jing was increasingly delighted.

He already valued Su Bai, and after this incident, he was already secretly planning to groom Su Bai as his successor.

But that's a story for later; there are more important things to do right now.

"Regarding this incident, the people who should be punished are not those from our Dragon Kingdom, but those who used such despicable methods!"

Guo Jing slammed his hand on the table, his face full of resentment.

"Those three countries really went too far this time!"

Wang Zhenguo echoed this.

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and he wished he could devour their flesh and blood to vent his hatred.

"Japan and South Korea have long relied on the United States for support to commit wrongdoings. If we bring up this surprise attack, I'm afraid the United States will continue to try to smooth things over..."

Su Bai calmly began to analyze the situation.

"Yes, I'm worried about that too. It's one of their usual tactics."

Guo Jing spoke in a deep voice.

"If they stop me, they'll say it's because they happened to be patrolling there. If they send out ghost agents, they'll say it's their personal behavior and has nothing to do with the United States. No matter which one they choose, they'll try to absolve themselves of any responsibility."

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Wang Zhenguo was furious.

In that case, wouldn't they be forced to suffer in silence, unable to express their bitterness?

"No rush, we will definitely avenge this!"

Guo Jing narrowed his eyes, a resolute glint flashing within them.

"Our Dragon Kingdom is not a pushover that can be easily manipulated and crushed!"

...

...

at the same time.

Blood Elf territory.

Bai Mengyu sat in a chair, her long, silky hair cascading down her back.

Her gaze swept across the channels, and a complex mix of emotions gradually welled up within her.

Her childhood friend has become the center of public attention one after another, and his achievements are constantly refreshing her understanding of the world.

This was naturally difficult for her, a woman who was born into privilege.

Despite being a woman, Bai Mengyu's pride was no less than that of ordinary people, and perhaps even greater.

While she was still basking in the glory of being one of the best among her peers, Su Bai had already transcended that level.

Even high-ranking lords are no match for him.

Bai Mengyu knew that even if she encountered a high-ranking lord, she wouldn't be entirely confident.

The greatest victory is simply to avoid a humiliating defeat.

As a result, Su Bai managed to scare them so much that they crawled and scrambled home using teleportation scrolls.

"Su Bai has become so powerful..."

She sighed softly and sat up straight instinctively.

When we meet again, I'll only be able to look up to him from afar.

A pang of sorrow welled up in Bai Mengyu's heart. Her eyes gazed out the window, or perhaps into a more distant place.

Compared to her complexity, Zhao Xiangtian, who was in the territory of the beastmen, had a much more open and straightforward mindset.

If he felt somewhat incredulous and resentful when he first heard about Su Bai, it would be a different story.

This time, he was completely convinced.

To have such a legendary figure turn out to be your classmate is a blessing that not everyone can have.

Once Zhao Xiangtian understood this, he was overjoyed.

When the differences between people are too great, it is difficult for emotions such as envy, jealousy and hatred to arise.

After all, Su Bai was already someone he could never reach.

Let alone starting to cultivate diligently now, even if he were to awaken from birth, he would win at the starting line of life.

Zhao Xiangtian didn't think he had much of a chance against Su Bai.

This is no longer a prodigy created by simple hard work and talent.

He felt absolutely no jealousy.

All that remains is admiration and worship.

Even if we take a step back and say that he has this relationship, his future life will be much easier.

Having such a powerful lord as a former classmate, he would command respect anywhere.

Although he couldn't bring himself to shamelessly ask Su Bai for favors yet, this title alone would make things much easier for him in the future.

Other lords would have to think twice before doing anything to him.
