Capítulo 954: Chapter 727: Who Dares Stand in My Way
Mu Fan’s calm yet arrogant voice rang out, clearly reaching the sky and sinking into the earth.
The warships that had just surrounded him stopped simultaneously in the sky.
The mecha units surging toward this location from afar came to a halt.
The forces originally trying to investigate the identity of the Thunderhawk pilot ceased their actions immediately.
The officials, accustomed to being aloof, were left staring in disbelief.
“A Federation Captain… has the Military Department gone mad! Deploying mechas to overthrow the government of the Blue Capital Star?”
A newly appointed councilman angrily waved his arms.
In his view, such actions were a provocation to authority and dignity.
“Get me in touch with the other party; I want to speak with him directly!”
Inside the second council chamber of the planet located in the central region of Zhongjing City, the staff member who was reporting the situation looked hesitantly at the seats above.
The severity of today’s situation seemed to have far exceeded everyone’s expectations, and Councilman Bai, who spoke up, apparently couldn’t represent the opinions of all the bigwigs.
Moreover, due to a particular event, the council representatives of Youshi, Dongye, and Sha, the three great families, were absent.
The ones with the highest authority were Councilman Link from the Lin family and Gaoling Ting from the Gaoling Family.
The two sat to the left and right, both pinching the bridge of their noses.
This action occurred after Mu Fan uttered those words.
Because this name had already caught their attention months ago.
Nobody would have expected this name to start shining like a comet in the sky of Blue Capital Star in just a few months.
And today, he dared to make such a brazen response to the government’s warning shots!
After passionately delivering his speech, Councilman Bai found no one responding and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, which he quickly disguised with a smile.
He immediately smiled and looked toward Link and Gaoling Ting.
A strange and silent atmosphere began to rise in the conference hall, and officials, big and small, held their breath, not daring to speak.
Finally, Link raised his head and looked opposite, “Councilman Gaoling, you decide.”
Upon hearing this, Gaoling Ting finally lowered his palm, his deep eyes swept casually forward.
“Send someone to make contact and express the government’s stance, firmly and clearly refusing any non-normal warfare.”
It was a very official response, but it made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, at least someone stepping up would absolve them of principal responsibility.
At this point, the staff member finally spoke, fearfully saying, “Councilman Gaoling, the other side used special means to block all communications, we can’t reach him. Moreover, he claims to be a formal Federation soldier, this…”
“Contact Vice Admiral Wilcox, ask for the headquarters’ opinion, since he’s military, then it’s even more inappropriate for us to intervene.”
This time even the staff member breathed a secret sigh of relief, bowing and promptly turning to leave.
…
“Who does he claim to be?”
“Federation Captain!?”
The entire underground hall fell silent. Vice Admiral Wilcox gazed at the image on the display for a long silence before instructing the person next to him, “Send someone to contact him and also reach out to Ruan Xiongfei from Dingchuan Academy. Since he’s still a Federation soldier, I want to ask, who gave him the authority?”
“Is he… trying to betray the nation?”
The chilling tone instantly dropped the temperature in the underground hall by several degrees.
…
Blue Capital Star, Zhongjing City.
After Mu Fan spoke, an undercurrent began to surge.
At Dingchuan Academy’s second main gate, the atmosphere was even more tense.
A man exuding a rugged aura stood grinning in the center of the gate with arms crossed.
In front of him was the academy’s mentor team, dressed in blue-grey teacher uniforms.
Behind the mentor team were countless Dingchuan students who had spontaneously gathered around. They didn’t know the exact events that had just transpired, but they had never seen such a confrontation between academy teachers since enrolling.
Could it be the academy instructors were having an internal conflict?
Moreover, that man was clearly the fierce beast instructor from Dingchuan, Ruan Xiongfei, who had recently become famous online!
Youshi Wang supported Worshipper Sha, standing in a corner of the crowd. The proud old man had refused the suggestion to go to the infirmary, enduring severe pain while leaning against a tree.
He wanted to see what this mentor and student pair would ultimately do.
An S-class mecha had been deployed; he didn’t believe the government and military would stand idly by.
This was, after all, the administrative planet of the fourth Star District!
This was the center of the fourth Star District, Zhongjing City!
Instructor Lindberg arrived hastily, noticing Bach’s bloodshot eyes nearby, then looked at the indifferent bald man.
“Ruan Xiongfei, you sure have stirred up a massive grudge for Dingchuan today.”
Ruan Xiongfei glanced sideways at the middle-aged instructor opposite him, who was wearing a disdainful expression, and nonchalantly dug at his ear, “And then?”
“You!”
Lindberg wanted to throw a punch, but recalling Ruan Xiongfei’s terrifying strength, he suppressed his anger.
“Come back to Mount Gaidu with me; your actions require academy judgment.” Lindberg said, repressing his anger.
“I’m afraid not. If I leave, won’t the Military Department be anxious if they can’t find me later?”
And at the sound of this bald man’s deep voice, a shadow appeared at the end of the road.
It was an entire heavy-armored mechanical unit!
Their goal was… Dingchuan Academy.
Ruan Xiongfei burst into hearty laughter, waving his hand as if chasing away flies.
“Instructor Lindberg, I’m done with this pathetic teaching career starting today, so don’t bother pressing me with bureaucratic nonsense.”
After speaking, his gaze swept over the students behind the mentor team.
But his voice lacked the typical mockery, instead emanating the determination of a man.
“My name is Ruan Xiongfei; I’ve been in Dingchuan for a few years; whether you know me or not, it doesn’t matter.”
“I don’t recognize you all anyway.”
“What I want to say is, my biggest gain from coming to Dingchuan is acquiring a good student.”
“Though the kid is young, in the future… he will be Dingchuan’s pride.”
“Learning the spirit of Dingchuan is more useful than acquiring a few extra skills.”
“The last thing I want to say is that in Dingchuan if your spine doesn’t bend, and your knees aren’t weak, you’ll someday reach the peak.”
“Goodbye, little ones.”
As his words ended.
Ruan Xiongfei no longer glanced at Dingchuan Academy and turned with great strides to leave!
Leaving countless students immersed in his thundering words.
They watched Ruan Xiongfei’s imposing figure with mixed emotions, struggling to suppress their inner turmoil.
Some felt their eyes grow moist unconsciously…
This is their Dingchuan mentor indeed!
“Ruan Xiongfei, stop.”
“Even the Military Department doesn’t have the right to demand someone from Dingchuan! Come back to Mount Gaidu with me!”
Lindberg thrust his palm forward, and dozens of exoskeleton armors suddenly leapt high from behind, landing heavily around Ruan Xiongfei.
Yet before the bald man, the rumbling convoy was drawing closer.
The figure of Big Bald Ruan paused but did not turn back.
He merely grinned and looked ahead, staring at the looming tank barrels.
With a low chuckle, his expression suddenly turned fierce.
“Who dares to stop me?”
The dozens of guards in exoskeleton armor suddenly felt a stabbing pain in their brains, a constant, inescapable pricking.
And in Lindberg’s eyes, Ruan Xiongfei was wholly enveloped by nearly substantial spiritual flames.
That aura was like a killing god!
The heavy-armored mechanical unit finally approached, and standing at the front of the tracked vehicle, a major in seventh-generation exoskeleton armor, Pierce Spear, had a clear view of the situation ahead.
He sneered, raised his right fist.
Huff…
The mighty advancing formation came to an abrupt halt.
Two rows of more than forty soldiers swiftly lined up, enclosing Ruan Xiongfei.
This major casually hefted a heavy shotgun, leapt forward, landed heavily, and aimed the gun at the bald man before him.
“How about it, trying to run? Trouble the Honorable Mr. Ruan to stand here quietly, the Military Department requests your presence.”
The scene fell silent instantly.
Ruan Xiongfei lifted his eyelids and looked at the major with an eye of disdain usually reserved for dead men.
He placed his left hand on his shoulder, gently twisting his neck.
Crack.
