Chapter 341: Chapter 340 You’re Really Useless
“Alright, I’m leaving the recruitment to you. Remember to recruit some pretty female soldiers.”
Wang Hao patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, then left with his two underlings, Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao.
Qin Feng gave a wry smile. Just as Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao had said, Wang Hao really wouldn’t bother with the legion’s affairs.
“Ah, if he’s not going to manage, then I’ll reluctantly step up to the plate!” Qin Feng took a deep breath, his energy peaking, ready to make a big splash.
Qian Wanyang looked back at the brimming Qin Feng, tugged at Chen Yao and asked in a low voice, “You think this guy’s a masochist or what?”
Chen Yao nodded repeatedly, agreeing. They had kindly invited him to become a general, but he had to play hard to get.
Yet, after being beaten up, he actually turned up obediently. This was truly the sign of a born masochist.
…
At the border of the Interstellar Federation.
Su Mu received the news about Wang Hao launching the Star Sky Missile at Tianbei University.
“That damned brat, I told him to keep a low profile, but he still caused such a fuss,” Su Mu fumed, puffing his whiskers and glaring with wide eyes.
The three other university presidents couldn’t help but shake their heads; counting on Wang Hao to stay quiet was less realistic than believing tomorrow was doomsday.
“Boss Su, if you think Wang Hao is too much trouble, let him come to Xihua University,” Hua Zixu said earnestly, “Out of brotherly love, I’m willing to take this heat for you.”
Wang Kunlun repeatedly said, “You all don’t need to bother. Just as the saying goes, ‘If I don’t go to Hell, who will?’ Let this kid Wang Hao come to East Brilliance University.”
Wu Tianlun was displeased, “Wang Hao blew up one-tenth of Tianbei University with a single shot. Your places wouldn’t endure even a few of his shots. In my opinion, let him go to Wunan University. We have enough space there for him to have a blast.”
“Hmph!” Su Mu snorted coldly. “You three old geezers, stop with your cunning tricks. I will not let Wang Hao transfer to any of your universities.”
The three university presidents sighed helplessly, withdrawing their ulterior motives.
Although Wang Hao’s moral character wasn’t anything to brag about, his talent was absolutely terrifying to the point of scaring people to death.
In the competition between the two major federations, the first place was pretty much secured, so they all wanted Wang Hao to represent their universities.
Yet, even after one-tenth of Tianbei University was blown up, Su Mu, the old geezer, showed no signs of softening.
At that moment, a roar came through, “Su Mu, get out here for me!”
The four of them turned to look, seeing Guan Xinxiong approaching furiously.
Su Mu said coldly, “Guan Xinxiong, you’re not welcome here, scram!”
Guan Xinxiong barked back, “Su Mu, let me warn you, if you can’t control Wang Hao, I’ll take care of him for you. And if he ends up missing arms or legs, don’t blame me for not warning you.”
Hua Zixu scornfully curled his lip, “If my grandstudent ends up missing arms or legs, I assure you that all the Guan family’s younger generation will lack all four limbs.”
“Guan Xinxiong, are you threatening me, the commander?” Guan Xinxiong’s eyes flashed a trace of cold light.
Wu Tianlun laughed loudly, “It’s not a threat, it’s a warning!”
Wang Kunlun gave a chilly warning, “Commander Guan, we won’t interfere in the younger generation’s matters, but if someone dares to overplay their seniority, keep in mind that we four old geezers aren’t vegetarians.”
Guan Xinxiong’s face turned red with rage, but he didn’t dare utter another harsh word.
Although the Guan family commanded the Military Department, and nobility controlled the military, the soldiers were all common people, and half of those people came from the four major universities.
If we really fell out with these four old guys, recruiting soldiers in the future would probably be fraught with difficulties.
Guan Xinxiong took a deep breath, “Just hand over the twenty Astronomy Jade pieces that Wang Hao has, and we’ll call it even.”
Su Mu sneered, “Guan Xinxiong, did you not wake up from your dream!? You used my grandson’s name to ask for materials, but in the end, it all became part of your private army’s resources. I haven’t even settled this account with you, and now you’re playing the victim first!”
Guan Xinxiong said indifferently, “This is a military secret of the Military Department. It’s not convenient for me, the commander, to discuss it with the four of you.”
“How coincidental!” Hua Zixu laughed, “About Wang Hao getting twenty Astronomy Jade pieces, we four old guys had no idea either.”
“You…” A surge of anger welled up in Guan Xinxiong again.
“What ‘you’…” Wu Tianlun waved his hand dismissively, “You’re not smearing our disciple here. Our Wang Hao is the number-one talent of the interstellar federation. This is about saving face; you can’t let that be tarnished by you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cast contemptuous looks, including the strange glances from the three university presidents.
Wang Hao’s reputation indeed was prominent, but there was no need to smear it, because this guy had no good reputation to begin with—only a bad one, mind you.
Guan Xinxiong gulped down another breath, calming the fire inside. He knew it was impossible to get these four elders to step down today; he had to apply pressure from elsewhere.
At this moment, Jian Taifeng sauntered over, “Ha ha… What a lively scene!”
Seeing Jian Taifeng, everyone was shocked and hurried forward to bow reverently, “Greetings, Senior Jian!”
Jian Taifeng waved his hand and asked curiously, “I heard that kid Wang Hao caused some trouble again?”
Su Mu braced himself and stepped forward to reply, “According to Senior Jian, Wang Hao used a Star Sky Missile at Tianbei University and destroyed one-tenth of the campus.”
Guan Xinxiong also quickly stepped forward, “Wang Hao also stole twenty pieces of our Guan family’s Astronomy Jade.”
“Ha ha, that little fellow Wang Hao really is lawless,” Jian Taifeng laughed while stroking his beard, “But Guan Xinxiong, you really are useless, unable to even safeguard the Astronomy Jade, allowing Wang Hao to steal twenty pieces.”
Guan Xinxiong’s face instantly darkened. He had hoped to use Jian Taifeng to retrieve the Astronomy Jade but who would have thought that the old man would belittle him and heap praise on that shameless bastard, Wang Hao.
Su Mu nodded in agreement, “Senior Jian is absolutely right, Guan Xinxiong really is quite useless.”
Hua Zixu patted Guan Xinxiong’s shoulder, “Guan Xinxiong, it doesn’t matter if you’re useless in other aspects, but when it comes to leading a massive army in a major battle against the Dark Elf race, you can’t afford to be useless!”
“You…” Guan Xinxiong was so angry his face turned a steely blue.
“All right, Guan Xinxiong, don’t be angry,” Jian Taifeng gestured with his hand, “You’re the commander. As long as you win battles, other uselessness doesn’t matter.”
Guan Xinxiong’s face went completely black. Was this praise, or was he being ridiculed along with these four old bastards, Su Mu and the others!?
Wang Kunlun nodded, “Senior Jian puts it well, the commander should focus on waging wars, not go around crowing like an irritable rooster, picking fights everywhere.”
Guan Xinxiong inhaled deeply, calming his heart.
He had come to see that this whole gang of elders was sided with Wang Hao, and he was just their plaything.
Thinking this, Guan Xinxiong took a deep breath and bowed with his fists together, “Senior Jian, I have military matters to attend to and must take my leave.”
Having said that, Guan Xinxiong turned and left, no longer bothering to argue with these pesky old guys.
After Guan Xinxiong left, Jian Taifeng’s expression changed, and he snorted coldly, “Send a message to Wang Hao from me: no matter how much trouble he stirs up, I can smooth it over, but in this competition between the two federations, he must utterly trounce those Yao Tian Federation youngsters, but no killing is allowed.”
The four university presidents looked at each other, all seeming to understand something.
As the two federations were cooperating, exchanges among top officials to enhance coordination in combat were quite routine.
Seeing Jian Taifeng’s expression now, it must be due to some unpleasantness stirred up with those old immortals from the Yao Tian Federation. So now he wanted to use Wang Hao’s hand to bully the younger generation…
What do you think?
