Chapter 164: Going Home
Hey, what about the trust between us? “Senior brother Fang, don’t do this to me! I bleed for the Federation and almost sacrificed by attracting their attention. I even assisted just now!” Xiang Ning tried saving himself as he was taken away by the two tier three martial artists.
“Oh? Then why didn’t you stop me and fight the Assassin Cat yourself? Why did you need me to go and get revenge on your behalf?” Fang Hao smiled.
Xiang Ning didn’t know what to say so he tried changing the subject. “Senior brother Fang, but I was serious about learning! I’m good at learning! Look at my strength! The reason I have two martial techniques at Peak Mastery was because I spectated a lot of fights!”
The two martial artists rolled their eyes, because they thought he was insulting them for not even having a single technique at Peak Mastery.
“Hehe, while it’s true we might not be as strong as you could be in the future, we can still overpower you right now.”
All three of them coldly laughed. Still, they couldn’t do much to him because they needed to maintain their image as kind seniors.
“No, no, no, please listen to me. I’m not insulting anyone! I look up to you! I want to learn how to hunt and slay beasts from you. I swear I’ll just be at the side, I won’t move a muscle!” Xiang Ning tried one last time.
Yeah right. You’re just going to stand at the side trying to get the beast’s attention by using your flying knives.
Wu Rui was watching the scene unfolding and was shocked at Xiang Ning’s strength as a spiritual cultivator. What the hell! How’d he get so strong to the point where he can even injure a tier four beast?! Although he didn’t know what Xiang Ning was saying, or why he was trying to break free from their grasp, he felt a tinge of jealousy. But still, thanks to Xiang Ning, the various regions were able to kill the beasts much easier than expected. Of course, no one knew about that.
The regions formed a single defensive line and started killing many beasts. The Beast Generals were also surrounded by tier four martial artists and swiftly killed. In just a single hour, almost six thousand beasts had been slain. None were left alive.It was a complete victory, especially after the killing of the ten Beast Generals! It must be known that this was easily within the top five best beast stampedes where humans emerged victorious.
Evening arrived, and Xiang Ning was just discharged from a recovery capsule.
He had walked out of the recovery capsule after an hour, feeling refreshed. But when he realized that he needed to pay the bill, he almost fainted.
1.8 million dollars.
Yes, he had used a total of 1.8 million dollars worth of recovery fluid.
He only had two million dollars on him.
“I’ve bled for the Federation.”
“Please pay up.”
“I fought for my comrades.”
“Please pay up.”
“Can’t I get a discount from killing the beasts?”
“Sorry, we didn’t find any record of you killing any beasts.”
Xiang Ning wanted to slap himself. He just realized that all the beasts he had killed were slaughtered under his disguise. Of course, none of it would be credited to him!
“Wait, what about the Assassin Cat?”
“Oh, the Assassin Cat’s penis is worth 30 thousand dollars. Please pay the remaining 1.77 million dollars.”
Looking at the smiling man, he felt that he had been defeated. To think there would come a day when he had to pay for the usage of a recovery capsule.
Xiang Ning was walking out of the infirmary when he saw Jiang Youyou.
“Are you alright?” Jiang Youyou saw him too.
“I’m fine, what about your ship?” Xiang Ning was still hurting from losing his money.
“Oh, that… I had someone modify it for me into a fighting jet. I don’t think I’m suited to be a delivery girl. So I’ll just pilot a fighter jet and kill beasts,” Jiang Youyou chuckled.
Xiang Ning didn’t even have the energy to retort.
“Hehe, what do you think? Don’t you think I have the potential to be a talented pilot?” Jiang Youyou crossed her arms as if she was an ace pilot.
If you really become a pilot, I think you would’ve shot down your comrades instead of the beasts.
“Don’t you believe in me?” Jiang Youyou asked, her clear eyes reflecting under the light. She was a pure-hearted girl.
For a second, Xiang Ning didn’t think that she was the daughter of a large company but instead the girl next door. But when he thought about it, this could be her dream. He couldn’t just deny her! Plus, her family was rich and could easily find an experienced pilot to teach her step by step. Also if it was too dangerous, surely her family would stop her, right?
“Yeah, I trust you. Just work hard and I’m sure you’ll become an excellent pilot.”
“Oh, thank you! My father is calling me, I need to go now. See you next time!” Having said that, she ran off.
“See you next time?” Xiang Ning shook his head. He thought this would be the last meeting between them, since they were from different worlds.
She was just like the wind, being able to come and go without a trace.
He walked toward the garage as he was looking for Fang Hao. Where are they? Aren’t they taking me back?
But just as he thought about it, he received a call.
“Brother, where are you?” Xiang Xiaoyu’s voice rang from the other side and he instantly forgot everything bad that had happened. “Are you home now? I’m still outside, but I should be able to return in an hour. Let’s go out and eat. Fatty Wang told me there’s a restaurant on East Street that serves really good goose rice.” It was half-past five. It would be time for dinner the moment he reached home.
“Oh, ok. But teacher Dong and instructor Lei are here, if you’re coming back that late, I’ll let them know.”
Xiang Ning suddenly felt the road back home was dark. “No, no need. I’ll be home soon! I think I can be home in thirty minutes!” He hung up, hopped onto his Windbreaker, and activated turbo mode. It would consume double the fuel, but it would increase his speed by at least 150%.
In just thirty minutes, he managed to reach Marsh City.
