1183 Kept A Secret From Him!
Wang Teng stood outside his lodging and stared at Olivia. He furrowed his brows.
Why was this lady here?
Had she not given up?
This was his first thought. But when he heard her agitated cries, his expression changed. âWhat do you mean? Di Qi is in danger?â
âNevermind, come in first.â Wang Teng pulled Olivia into his room and closed the door. He stared at her sternly and asked, âAre you lying?â
âWhy would I lie to you? Our family has a special communication method. When our lives are at risk, a message will be sent to the nearest family member. I received Cousin Di Qiâs message the moment I woke up this morning,â Olivia replied like a machine gun. She was panicking.
Wang Teng looked at Olivia and felt that she wouldnât lie to him about such matters. Moreover, she didnât seem to be acting.
âWang Teng, I can only ask you for help. My family members wonât be able to rush here in time. Cousin Di Qi might not come back if we donât act fast enough. This communication method is only used at the final crucial moment,â Olivia said anxiously.
âDonât panic.â Wang Teng reminded her. âAsk your family to contact the higher authorities in the military. They will send martial warriors to save your cousin. I canât do it alone.â
âMy family has already contacted them. However, I trust you more,â Olivia replied.
âWait for me here. Iâll ask General Cameron what mission he gave to Di Qi.â Wang Teng wouldnât fold his arms and look on. He told Olivia to stay still and left to find General Cameron.
â¦
After some time, Wang Teng arrived outside General Cameronâs office. He strode straight in.
âMajor Wang Teng, are you looking for General Cameron?â General Cameronâs adjutant knew Wang Teng, so he got up to welcome him.
âI have urgent business to discuss with General Cameron.â Wang Teng walked toward the door.
âMajor Wang Teng, wait. General Cameron is meeting someone. You canât go in. I need to report your arrival first.â The adjutant stopped him hurriedly.
âMove. I donât have time to wait for you to report.â Wang Teng pushed his palm out, moving the adjutant back. He wasnât injured. He was just pushed aside so that Wang Teng could pass through.
The adjutantâs expression changed. He was astounded.
Major Wang Teng was powerful.
Mind you, he was a cosmos-stage martial warrior while Wang Teng was a celestial-stage martial warrior. Yet, he was knocked back with a single attack. No wonder General Cameron had high hopes for him.
Wang Teng didnât care what the adjutant felt. He pushed open General Cameronâs door instantly.
General Cameron was really meeting someone in his office.
When Wang Teng appeared, both parties looked at him.
âWendell! Why is he here?â Wang Teng was stunned when he saw the person sitting opposite General Cameron.
âGeneral, I didnât manage to stop Major Wang Teng. Please punish me,â the adjutant stepped forward and said nervously.
âNevermind, you can leave first.â General Cameron waved his hand. âMajor Wang Teng, come in.â
âHmph, as expected of a martial warrior from a remote planet. You have no manners at all.â Wendell scorned.
General Cameron blinked. He knew Wang Tengâs background as well as his grudges against the Parkers. Hence, he wasnât surprised.
Wang Teng didnât even glance at Wendell. âGeneral Cameron, can you send him away? I have something to ask you about.â
Wendellâs face turned black. This bastard ignored him completely.
He was here first, but he wanted to chase him out? This was too much.
He wanted to speak, but General Cameron interrupted him. âMajor Wang Teng, I know your purpose here. You came for Colonel Di Qi, right?â
âYes.â Wang Teng was surprised. He glanced at Wendell and nodded. Since the general had spoken about this matter, there was no need to hide it from Wendell.
âI called Colonel Wendell over for the same issue. Since youâre here, sit down and letâs discuss it together,â General Cameron said.
âGeneral Cameron, pardon me for being direct. Based on what I know, most of Major Wang Tengâs team was injured during his first mission. I have a reason to doubt his ability. Itâs not appropriate to share this mission with him,â Wendell said.
Wang Teng was staggered. Then, he stared at Wendell strangely.
This fellow was asking for it. General Cameron had inside information, yet Wendell defamed him in front of the general.
âCough!â General Cameronâs gaze turned weird too. He coughed awkwardly and said, âColonel Wendell, I know Major Wang Tengâs ability clearly. Itâs appropriate to share this issue with him.â
Wendell was stunned.
General Cameronâs attitude wasnât right.
Wang Teng didnât complete his first mission properly. Why did General Cameron speak up for him?
Did they make a secret deal?
Multiple thoughts flashed across his mind. Wendell had a worse impression of Wang Teng.
âGeneral Cameron, the issue is urgent, so I will go straight to the point. Whatâs Di Qiâs mission?â Wang Teng asked.
General Cameron turned serious and replied, âThis is a long story, but Iâll summarize it. We received news that a large number of dark apparition activities had been detected at the fifth frontline. However, the dark apparitions only appeared for a moment and disappeared after that. No one can find their whereabouts, so I sent Di Qiâs team to investigate this issue. I didnât think he will be in life danger. There must be something going on.â
âA large number of dark apparition activities?â Wang Teng frowned. âDo you know what type of dark apparitions they are?â
âNo.â General Cameron shook his head.
âSince itâs a large-scale activity, they wonât vanish the moment they appear, right?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âCould it be some special dark apparitionâs race?â Wang Teng guessed.
âYou might be right.â General Cameron nodded. âHowever, the appearance of sp many dark apparitions comes with a black mist. This time, they hid in their black mist too, so we had a hard time recognizing their race.â
Wang Teng went into deep thought. After some time, he said, âEither way, we need to save him first. Let me investigate this matter.â
âGeneral Cameron has given me this task,â Wendell said coldly.
âLetâs investigate on our own then,â Wang Teng frowned and replied.
âHmph, with your ability, youâll definitely interfere in my investigation. If something happens, whose responsibility will it be?â Wendell scoffed.
âYou might be the one giving me trouble,â Wang Teng said calmly.
âWhat a joke!â Wendell acted as if he had heard a funny joke.
âAlright, stop arguing. Iâll let the two of you handle this issue. I hope youâll put aside your grudges for this mission. I only want results,â General Cameron reprimanded them sternly.
Wendell was still unconvinced, but General Cameron had made his decision. He could only shut his mouth.
âI have no problem with that,â Wang Teng replied.
âAlright, go ahead then.â General Cameron waved his hand.
âGeneral Cameron, can I speak to you in private?â Wang Teng suddenly asked.
âHuh?â General Cameron was stunned for a second. Then, he nodded and said, âColonel Wendell, you can leave first.â
Wendell: â¦
They were keeping a secret from him?
He felt like an outsider.
Why?
Why could a newbie who just came to the No. 29 Defense Planet and completed only one mission gain General Cameronâs favor?
He had been working hard for many years, but he felt that he wasnât as well-liked as Wang Teng.
Infuriating!
Damn it!
Wendell glared at Wendell bitterly as he walked out of General Cameronâs office.
Wang Teng looked at him strangely. He felt that this fellow had the potential to be an aggrieved woman confined at home. His gazeâ¦
âAlright, what do you want to say?â General Cameron asked.
âGeneral Cameron, do you think the dark apparitionsâ strange actions have anything to do with the devil ovum?â
âWhat do you mean?â General Cameronâs expression changed.
âI feel that we should investigate the dark apparitionsâ movement on all the frontlines on this planet,â Wang Teng suggested.
âIâll consider your suggestion seriously.â General Cameron understood Wang Tengâs concern. He nodded grimly.
Wang Teng left the room.
