When Scar saw the number displayed on the caller ID, his face showed an expression of immense excitement.
He immediately answered the phone, stood up straight and spoke to the person on the other end.
"Director, please give your orders!"
Hearing Scar’s slightly excited voice over the phone, Song Xiangdong couldn’t help but laugh. In his memory, it was rare to hear such an obvious emotional fluctuation from Scar. Clearly, this period had been quite stifling for him.
"It seems it’s time to give you some space or else, with your impatient personality, who knows what trouble you might get yourself into!"
Song Xiangdong cleared his throat and, suppressing his laughter, spoke seriously into the phone.
This remark was indeed heartfelt. Scar, apart from the execution team, was the captain he trusted and had the highest regard for the most. However, Scar’s merits and flaws were both equally obvious.
If Scar’s strengths were his resilience, strong individual capabilities, a calm mind, and a powerful command over a small unit’s attack, then his flaw was his inability to tolerate loneliness.
For excellent people, not being able to endure loneliness might not be a significant flaw, but for someone like Scar, it could greatly impact his future command.
"I think not only you are feeling pent up, but even your men under you are probably getting restless, right?"
Song Xiangdong didn’t rush to give orders but instead chatted leisurely with Scar.
Hearing Song Xiangdong’s words, no matter how anxious he was, Scar’s tone gradually calmed down.
The reason was very simple: Song Xiangdong was Scar’s leader, and also his mentor.
The reason Scar had this nickname was also because of Song Xiangdong. At that time, Scar was still in the Dragon Country’s army, carrying out a special interception mission. The target was to eliminate a foreign team that had secretly infiltrated the Dragon Country.
The team leader of that interception mission was Song Xiangdong. Compared to Song Xiangdong, Scar looked more like a soldier.
Because no matter where he was, as long as conditions permitted, Song Xiangdong would always make himself look clean and tidy. It was for this reason that Scar looked down on Song Xiangdong and even thought of him as effeminate.
During that mission, Song Xiangdong made thorough arrangements, not only considering the enemy’s retreat routes but also contemplating the outcome where the enemy would fight to the death.
However, Scar found Song Xiangdong’s plans too conservative, thinking they were unsuitable for their small-scale battlefield. Therefore, Scar didn’t plan to follow Song Xiangdong’s orders.
In Scar’s eyes, the tasks assigned by superiors should be executed straightforwardly, completing them in the shortest time possible was what a soldier should do.
But that battle left an indelible impression in Scar’s heart. His arrogance during the fire suppression did not reach Song Xiangdong’s calculated firepower, allowing the enemy team to find a breakthrough point.
When Scar realized his mistake, it was already too late. No matter how hard he tried to suppress the enemy, he could only watch through his scope as his comrades fell to the enemy’s bullets due to his negligence.
That battle truly let Scar witness Song Xiangdong’s prowess. If it weren’t for Song Xiangdong’s final decisive actions, not only would their mission have failed, but they might all have been killed.
After that battle, Scar wanted to leave the army. The higher-ups, considering Scar’s abilities and usual performance, asked him to reconsider.
When Scar went to find Song Xiangdong to admit his mistake, he discovered that Song Xiangdong had already left the army, and no one knew where he went.
Just when Scar was feeling lost, not knowing what to do, the previously vanished Song Xiangdong appeared before him.
However, the Song Xiangdong who appeared seemed even less like a soldier, more like a businessman.
His eyes always sparkled with wisdom, and with just a simple smile, he gave off an aura of winning battles from a thousand miles away.
Song Xiangdong walked up to him with a grin, reached out, and took the insignia from Scar’s shoulder.
"Although you’re suited for the army, there’s a place that’s even more suitable for you. Come with me!"
After saying that, Song Xiangdong walked straight to a nearby Red Flag sedan, and the smile on his face as he turned deeply imprinted itself in Scar’s mind.
It was a smile full of confidence and wisdom, like a branding iron engraving a deep mark in Scar’s heart.
Subsequently, Scar got into the car and embarked on the path to the Security Bureau. From then on, Scar became a member of the Security Bureau, and with his strong skills, successfully commanded a squad.
"They are indeed getting quite uncomfortable, being stared at by such amateurs."

At this point, Scar’s tone was calm, but his words carried a hint of disdain for the Atlantis agents.
Scar’s reaction did not surprise Song Xiangdong, but it wasn’t that Scar hadn’t grown in recent years, rather if Scar could think highly of them, he wouldn’t be him anymore.
