Chapter 762: Chapter 535 I Didn’t Sign Up
“The Blood Tooth Order was issued, but the fat man hasn’t returned.”
The cloaked figure’s pair of electronic eyes emitted a dim red glow.
“…Who killed him?”
The panting on the other end of the Sky Communication was intense, the voice hoarse and low.
“He was tortured and killed on the spot.”
“What do you want to talk to me about?”
“Arrange a flight for me.” The cloaked man looked up at the sky, having already sent out his coordinates.
“Fine, but if you die, I won’t collect your body, and all of your possessions will be mine,” the hoarse breathing voice said with a murderous coldness.
“Hahaha, me, die?” The man known as the Transformed Man looked up at the blazing sun and let out a wild laugh.
…
Mu Fan was unaware of this seemingly insignificant event happening on a distant planet.
He was just indifferently watching the opposite side, where Lieutenant Colonel Gujiang’s face was alternating between shades of green and white.
Nobody could appreciate the taste of what it was like to come for an arrest only to end up offering the other person a reward of 7.5 million Star Coins.
But Mu Fan quite liked the feeling as he calmly countered the person opposite him:
“May I ask, sir, when can I claim the bounty for the warrant?”
The stern-faced Lindberg looked incredulously at Mu Fan. This freshman from the first year was actually demanding a bounty in such a situation.
Gujiang felt like he had to vomit blood, but with so many media reporters and a crowd of students watching, he had no reason to lash out.
Damn the War Department, damn the Intelligence Department!
Gujiang believed that once this matter escalated, the first one to suffer within the military would undoubtedly be himself.
The shame had been made public!
Clutching his fist so tightly it creaked, eventually, Lieutenant Colonel Gujiang fiercely turned his head to look at the police officers beside him and bellowed:
“He needs to claim the bounty; is this really something our military has to take on for you?”
Everyone saw the leading police officer’s face turn purple right then and there. The officer, looking at the group of menacing soldiers beside Gujiang, couldn’t help but curse internally.
Did you motherfuckers let me get a word in since you arrived?
Now just opening your mouth to ask for money?
These soldiers are really fucked up.
Coming here to make an arrest without getting the man, not to mention offending the authorities, and now they, the police, had to hand over 7.5 million Star Coins?
His boss was going to flay him alive when he got back.
But seeing the group of reporters as excited as if injected with chicken blood, the officer eventually clenched his teeth and stepped forward, his expression filled with utmost sincerity, “Please rest assured, the police will definitely pay out the bounty.”
“May I ask when specifically? With so many witnesses here, our New Star Media Group would like to report the award ceremony live. After all, achieving such a significant victory against dark forces also proves the effectiveness of the police bounty,” a clear voice came from the media camp beside.
The officer shot a murderous look in that direction, only to be met with a sea of eyes as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
These pervasive flies!
“The police guarantee to process it within 24 hours and will make a public announcement. We welcome supervision from all walks of life and will absolutely not delay recognizing those who have merited…”
Watching the police representative quickly engaging with the media, Gujiang waved his hand grandly, “Let’s go!”
The group of soldiers, armed to the teeth, packed away their Pulse Rifles and withdrew in front of a team from the Academy wearing Exoskeleton Armor.
“Let’s go, come back to the Academy with me,” said Bach, approaching Mu Fan with a gentle tone.
Mu Fan looked at the middle-aged man with a determined face and a crew cut and nodded.
“How about it, Instructor Lindberg,” Bach turned his head with a seemingly calm smile as he passed by the stern-faced middle-aged man, “would you like to return with me?”
With a cold snort, Lindberg responded, “Instructor Bach, your eye for talent is indeed sharp, and the individuals you choose are quite distinctive, but I’ll leave the affairs of the Night Teeth Team to you.”
He then walked away with his men, without looking back.
“Mu Fan, wait.” Suddenly, Lu Qingxue spoke, causing both Bach and Mu Fan to stop and look at her.
Ignoring the curious glances of others, Lu Qingxue walked straight up to Mu Fan, bowed her head slightly, and handed him the briefcase.
“These are your clothes.” Mu Fan was startled for a moment, but upon seeing the cool gaze in her eyes, he nodded and accepted them.
The words spoken in passing on the spacecraft, she had taken to heart. It seemed she had come especially to deliver his clothes, and unexpectedly encountered this incident.
Bach glanced at Lu Qingxue. He was well aware of the star student at Dingchuan Academy and was quite astonished by her behavior, considering what he had usually heard about her.
“Classmate Lu, you both should return with me. The academy needs a detailed understanding of this incident.”
The gathered reporters watch the departing group with dissatisfaction, but faced with sixty units of Exoskeleton Armor, they dared not step forward to stop them.
On their way, as Bach began to inquire about the incident, Mu Fan omitted certain parts about the Space Station, portraying the entire affair as a conflict that arose solely between himself and the Night Teeth Team. He did not mention a single detail about the Snow Clan or the Lu Family.
This made the beautiful eyes of Lu Qingxue beside him flicker with light. Mu Fan had subtly protected the reputation of the Lu Family.
For Bach, the reason provided by Mu Fan was straightforward; a deputy captain of the Night Teeth Team had attacked him, so Mu Fan had simply killed the assailant.
“Hisss,”
It sounded as simple as drinking water when he said it.
The indescribable expression on Bach’s face fixated on Mu Fan. He could hardly believe Mu Fan’s audacity, and just how skilled was this young man in combat?
After all, he had murdered without ever using his mecha!
“Do you know the strength of the Night Teeth Team?”
“Yes.”
“And you had no concerns before taking action?”
This was also a question Lu Qingxue had always wanted to ask Mu Fan, but never did. Now, hearing it, she also quietly looked towards Mu Fan’s determined profile.
Mu Fan shook his head after hearing the question, “Previously, when hunting in the wilderness, encountering a fierce beast, if you hesitate or retreat, then you’re certainly the one to die.”
“The only option for survival is to fight with all your might.”
The law of the jungle…
With a sigh in his heart, Bach looked at Mu Fan, wondering how this freshman student had spent his childhood, speaking of the incident with such ease.
“But they were the Night Teeth Team.”
“The ones to die were definitely going to be them,” Mu Fan said lightly.
Was it the fearlessness of the young, or was the young man in front of him truly powerful enough to face an S-rank mercenary group head-on?
What cards was he holding?
Upon entering Dingchuan Academy, Bach suddenly remembered something, looked at Mu Fan and asked, “Do you know about the upcoming inter-academy exchange competition?”
“Mm, what about it, Instructor Bach?”
“Xu Jiang recommended you to me, and I also believe that your strength absolutely qualifies you to represent the academy. However, there has never been a precedent in our academy for a first-year student to join the school team without participating in the rank battle. So, I hope you can perform exceptionally well in the rank battle!” Bach’s eyes gleamed brightly.
Mu Fan was momentarily stunned and hesitated, “But, I haven’t signed up…”
“What!?” Bach’s foot paused mid-step, and his body stiffened. This time he was truly taken aback, having not anticipated in the slightest that Mu Fan had neglected even to sign up for such a fundamental step.
Then the middle-aged man with the crew-cut reacted with urgency, “How could you not sign up! I wanted to push you directly into the seed team. You only need to place in the top three.”
The top three…
Mu Fan smacked his lips.
