The Nonexistent Subordinate

Jiang Wenyin's overturning made the battle afterwards more cautious.

Not careful probing, or long range attacks, afraid of making the same mistake again.

After struggling for half a day they finally decided the winner.

The instructors watched the entire battle, they had a score for the abilities of the whole class in mind, after discussing they came out with a list.

After the list was announced, Instructor Wang explained the content of tomorrow's military training to the new students, asked them to get prepared in advance, then announced dismissed.

Qi Yuan took a look at the list of teammates in his hand: Liao Shiquan, Jiang Wenyin, Zou Ziyi, Ji Jia.

Who would believe there's no special treatment?

Basically all people he knew...

He also had impression of this girl student Ji Jia.

Her ability was Ghost Transformation, two lines of bloody tears plus the gloomy and sinister face, scared the kids next door to cry.

"Captain, shall we go? I'll bribe you."

Liao Shiquan followed by the other three, joked with him.

Qi Yuan laughed: "Don't say bribe so loudly, or Instructor Wang will find out."

Instructor Wang did keep an eye on them, hearing Qi Yuan's joking words, he showed his neat teeth.

"Good stuff, still so arrogant even caught by me?"

Instructor Wang was not too worried about bribery, he picked all who could pass the test for Qi Yuan by the standards.

Letting outsiders score without preparation, how could that work?

If not for Qi Yuan's powerful ability, Instructor Wang would not even let him get involved in scoring work.

"This is called reporting, let's go."

Qi Yuan left with the four of them, heading to the school cafeteria.

He thought Liao Shiquan and the others would ask about the instructor, but no.

Jiang Wenyin was still chatting with Ji Jia, Ji Jia kept her head down and shoulders hunched, completely different from her ghost transformation.

"Should we prepare some combat food?"

Seeing the school store crowded with people, Zou Ziyi realized belatedly.

Liao Shiquan replied: "No need, I already let my family prepare enough for the whole team."

"Vice captain, you're so reliable!"

Jiang Wenyin praised happily.

Ji Jia nodded again and again, agreeing with Jiang Wenyin.

After the few had meal at the cafeteria, got to know each other initially, they made appointment to discuss tactics in Liao Shiquan's room.

Next morning,

Liao Shiquan and the other three went to the outdoor training ground of Shen City University to gather.

Not long after,

Almost all the students and instructors of Combat Major Class 1 came, except Qi Yuan.

Instructor Wang came to their team holding a scoring board, wearing earpieces.

"Let's go."

"Instructor Wang, where's our captain?"

Jiang Wenyin raised her hand asking, while looking around for Qi Yuan.

"He has something to do today, won't come."

Instructor Wang recalled Qi Yuan calling him last night asking for leave, he couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't know whether to feel glad that the big Buddha has left, or regret not able to witness the ability of an A-level superhuman.

...

Inside the Superpower Association Shen City Branch,

the conference table was filled with people, some sat with arms crossed, some sat with legs wide apart at the table, some leaned back in their chairs.

Although sitting poses varied, they all had an astonishing aura.

A woman stood at the podium talking eloquently.

"Hello everyone, next I'll introduce...according to recent data analysis, frequency of monster related incidents has increased by percent...excluding identified cases above, unconfirmed monster sighting reports compared to last period increased...lastly this table lists the data I mentioned, please feel free to ask if you have any questions."

The woman at podium switched to next PPT slide.

People in the conference room looked at the chart, whispering to each other.

"From the table, we can see anti-superhuman organization's actions are increasing day by day..."

Qi Yuan leaned against his chair listening to the Patrol Team representative's speech.

He received an emergency notice last night, requiring A-level superhumans in Shen City to attend the meeting.

When calling the supervisor asking for leave, he didn't know why the supervisor sounded a little resentful.

As the patrol staff's words fell, someone immediately sneered coldly.

"Looks like we're underestimated."

Someone in the room replied: "S-level superhumans have been transferred for a period, monsters becoming restless is also normal."

"This operation has been too long, does the officials still not plan to let them come back?"

"Boom--"

The man sitting on the right hand of Superpower Association Shen City Branch president slapped his phone heavily on the table, his Patrol Team uniform showing his identity.

This man frowned impatiently, tone harsh.

"Are you unable to act without the S-level superhumans? Rather than placing expectations on the S-level superhumans who don't know when they'll be back, you should think about how to solve the current problem first."

A-level superhumans are pampered everywhere, many have developed bad habits without realizing.

Immediately someone retorted the patrol team man: "Then tell us a solution?"

"Would you do as I say?"

The patrol team man looked down on these superhumans deep down, he didn't even look at the speaker directly.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the branch president came out to smooth things over.

"Everyone, monsters are still lurking in every corner of the city, don't fight internally first."

"Humph!"

A man over two meters tall slapped the table and stood up, facing the branch president, pointing at Qi Yuan: "Whether it's internal strife or not, before Qi Yuan apologizes to me, I will never cooperate with him."

"?"

Qi Yuan was baffled, what does this have to do with me?

"Who are you?"

"Heh, the young master of Qi family really forgets things easily."

The big man glared furiously, brows slanted coldly: "One and a half month ago, your subordinate injured my second son, yet you don't even remember the victim's name?"

Qi Yuan: ...?!!

You can falsely accuse anything else, but he doesn't even have a subordinate to go injure someone's second son?

However he couldn't say that...

If others suspect you have weapons, it's best you really do.

Even if he clarified not having a subordinate, this big man might still suspect he's covering up, or think he knows the non-existent subordinate.

He wouldn't gamble his family's lives on whether the other has morals...

The best solution is to make the other not dare take action.

"Who cares what a subordinate did? I only care if they completed the task."

Qi Yuan leaned back against the chair, propping one hand on the armrest, pretending to talk about a non-existent subordinate: "I advise you to speak directly, it's not certain that it's my subordinate."

Sensing Qi Yuan wanted to shirk responsibility, the big man complained angrily: "My son was having a party with friends in the hotel room, your subordinate suddenly broke in and beat him up, even left a threat 'A leopard can't change its spots, I'm Qi family's subordinate, come make me pay if you dare', who else could it be if not your subordinate?"

What a leopard can't change its spots.

Qi Yuan laughed from anger, which bastard here is framing him?

However...

Well done!

Relying on telepathy to clearly hear the parts the big man omitted, Qi Yuan applauded the non-existent subordinate in his mind.

Not beating up the idiot who wanted to force women to take turns playing games with them, and wait for them to burn paper money for him next year?
