Chapter 32 With your garbage data, you dare to mention his name?
Zhao Leiguang's eyes, as big as copper bells, were already blazing with barely suppressed anger, and his clenched fists were cracking so hard that the knuckles were making a sound.
Wen Yue was the quickest to get up. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to slap him when Lu Yan waved his hand, signaling Wen Yue to relax.
Lu Yan stood there, neither moving nor speaking.
He looked at the face before him, twisted with jealousy and arrogance. That face, along with another face in his memory that had pointed at him and cursed him, slowly overlapped.
Just as Wang Hao thought his provocation had succeeded and was about to say something to deepen the humiliation—
The heavy doors of the villa were suddenly pushed open from the outside with a force that was definitely not normal.
"Bang!"
The heavy door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.
A group of people rushed in.
The leader was still transmitting messages through his earpiece.
"Go immediately! Lu Yan is in danger. Protect his safety at all costs!"
They were dressed in uniform black combat suits without any badges or insignia, but the aura emanating from them, as if they had been immersed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, lowered the temperature of the entire living room by several degrees.
The leader, a captain, had a faint scar on his face and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
He didn't even glance at Wang Hao's family, as if they were just three clumps of air getting in his way. He led his team, marching in perfect unison, straight up to Lu Yan.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone—especially Aunt Wang Hao, whose eyes were practically popping out of their sockets—the captain, who was standing there empty-handed, deftly put his feet together, straightened his body, bent over, and gave a perfect ninety-degree bow.
"Mr. Lu! The Security Department's Class A Special Operations Team has been dispatched to handle all security matters during your leave! We're late, and we apologize for the commotion!"
His voice was loud and clear, each word striking a chord in everyone's heart.
The smugness on Wang Hao's face froze.
His aunt's mouth, which was about to continue her tantrum, opened into an "O" shape, but she couldn't utter a single word.
A-level special operations team?
What does that mean? It's a force that can only be deployed when escorting important items or protecting the travel of the country's highest-ranking leaders!
Just to protect a support awakener?
After a long silence, Xiao Qianyu slowly straightened up.
She walked step by step to Wang Hao's family, her usually aloof face now covered with a layer of bone-chilling frost.
"Everyone."
Her voice sent a shiver down the spines of her aunt and her two family members.
"I gave you the right to step through this door because of your insignificant blood relation with Lu Yan. But that doesn't mean you can use ignorance as capital or greed as a bargaining chip."
Her gaze swept over Wang Hao, as if she were scrutinizing an ant that was oblivious to its own mortality.
"I am Xiao Qianyu, the captain of the National Guard. Let alone the fact that Lu Yan's achievements in the front-line secret realm are enough to be ennobled and appointed as a general, even if he were just an ordinary person, based on what you just said, I can legally and without any trial twist your heads off."
There was not a hint of threat in her words; she was genuinely angry.
When Wang Hao heard the name "Xiao Qianyu," his first reaction was not fear, but a glint of greed in his eyes.
Of course he had heard of Xiao Qianyu's name, "Crimson Storm," the ace captain of the National Guard, an existence that countless lower-level awakened individuals looked up to!
He immediately put on what he thought was a very handsome smile, straightened his collar, and moved closer.
"It's Captain Xiao! I've heard so much about you! Oh dear, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
He pointed at Lu Yan, his tone as familiar as if he were family: "Captain Xiao, I'm Lu Yan's cousin, Wang Hao, and I've awakened the powerful 'Flame Blade' talent! You see, we're all family. My cousin is being unreasonable, so it's only right that I teach him a lesson. Could you do me the honor of arranging me into your core team? From now on, we'll all be on the same side, and I definitely won't hold this little thing against him anymore."
His words left everyone present in awe.
Even the special operations team members who had just arrived looked at him as if he were an alien.
Zhao Leiguang's eyes, as big as copper bells, widened in surprise, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He was usually quite adept at handling pressure in the secret realm, but he couldn't stand this kind of sarcastic tone.
Wen Yue was quicker; she grabbed the ashtray from the table and was about to step forward.
Lu Yan raised his hand to stop Wen Yue.
He wasn't in a hurry. The face before him, distorted by jealousy, overlapped with the ghostly figure from his past life who had pointed at him and cursed him. This kind of person wasn't worth his energy. The state would teach him a lesson.
Seeing that Lu Yan didn't react, Wang Hao thought he was scared and was about to continue speaking.
A sudden screech of brakes came from outside. The heavy solid wood door of the villa was kicked open from the outside.
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.
A team of fully armed men in black filed in. They had no markings, but their aura, as if they had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, made everyone in the living room tremble.
The team leader pressed his communication headset, and the instructions were being repeated over and over: "Target Lu Yan, ensure his personal safety at all costs."
The captain didn't even glance at Wang Hao's family, and walked straight up to Lu Yan.
Under the watchful eyes of Wang Hao and his aunt, the captain, covered in blood, stood with his feet together, his body taut, and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.
"Mr. Lu. The A-level special operations team of the Security Department has been ordered to take over your security. There was a slight delay on the way, so we are a little late."
His voice was loud and clear, each word striking the ground.
Wang Hao's mouth opened slightly, but the rest of his curse words got stuck in his throat. His aunt took two steps back and bumped into the armrest of the sofa.
A-level special operations team?
That's the kind of protection reserved for heads of state on overseas trips. Now they're protecting a livelihood?
Xiao Qianyu stood up from the sofa.
She wasn't wearing combat gear, just simple casual clothes, but the aura she had developed from years of walking on the edge of life and death made Wang Hao and his family of three instinctively shrink back.
"Everyone," Xiao Qianyu said.
"I let you in because of your shallow blood relation with Lu Yan. That doesn't mean you can run wild here."
She looked at Wang Hao.
"I am Xiao Qianyu, the captain of the first squad of the Zhenguo Dragon Guard. Don't think that you can't reach Lu Yan's current rank. Even if he were just an ordinary person, based on the nonsense you just said, I would execute you on the spot without any procedures."
Upon hearing the name "Xiao Qianyu," Wang Hao's mind not only failed to clear, but instead lit up.
Crimson Storm, the ace of the National Guard, a figure that countless awakened individuals from the lower classes dream of meeting.
He straightened his slightly wrinkled collar, put on what he considered a presentable smile, and took two steps forward.
"Oh, it's Captain Xiao. I've heard so much about you. It's all a misunderstanding."
He pointed at Lu Yan, his tone familiar: "I'm his cousin, Wang Hao. He awakened the Flame Blade talent. We're practically family. My cousin is young and doesn't know any better, so I, as his older brother, gave him a few words of advice. Captain Xiao, could you do me a favor and arrange for me to join your team? I'll definitely take good care of him when we work together."
Everyone present was stunned.
Zhao Leiguang laughed in exasperation, and Wen Yue nearly dropped the ashtray in her hand. The special operations team looked at him as if he were a fool.
A nobody that even a third-tier cannon fodder regiment wouldn't want, yet he's asking to join the first squad?
Xiao Qianyu didn't reply. She raised her right leg and delivered a powerful kick to Wang Hao's abdomen.
The person flew out, crashed into the coffee table, and rolled three or four meters away.
Xiao Qianyu pulled up a document from the terminal and threw it at Wang Hao's face.
"Flame Blade talent? Melee class, only done Black Iron Rift twice in three months, always hiding at the back of the team, contributing only 1.5% of the damage, and even got complained about by teammates for stealing monsters."
She looked down at Wang Hao, who was clutching his stomach and groaning.
"With your garbage data, you dare mention his name?"
"Get out of here while we can still hold our tongues, otherwise we have the authority to act first and report later. The country has quotas for this every year..."
"We're leaving now, we're leaving now!" Wang Hao scrambled out, dragging his aunt with him.
