Xu Cheng replied, "I don't know."
Because if a grandmaster was conservatively at the B level, who knew if that Gate Master would be a grandmaster among grandmasters? Before actually fighting him, Xu Cheng indeed didn't have the confidence to completely suppress him. So, he told the truth.
The director thought for a moment and said, "Now, the police department will give you two options. You can refuse to accept the challenge, and the police department will do their best to protect you. I'm sure the other four Gates won't do anything to you. "
Xu Cheng said, "Then North Gate still won't disband, right?"
The director nodded. "Yes. Unfortunately, we can disband North Gate without any bloodshed, but the organization will never force someone to do something they're not confident in. This time, I called you here to ask if you have the confidence. If not, the police department will protect you, and you can choose to avoid the challenge. "
"I can't avoid the challenge." Xu Cheng shook his head and looked straight into the director's eyes. "The arrow is already nocked, and I have to pull it out."
"But are you confident?" The director looked at him.
Xu Cheng's eyes looked back at him with determination and said, "I want to become a godly weapon, not trouble."
The director smiled, and then he took out a challenge letter from his drawer. This was the deathmatch!
"This is a challenge letter that the leader of North Gate sent to the police department. Originally, no one would care about him, but he's willing to match all of North Gate's resources, and if he loses, he's willing to disband North Gate himself. The city leaders want you to fight for it if you can, but the initiative is still in your hands. Are you sure you've thought it through? "
Xu Cheng nodded. "Director, does the leader of North Gate really have the ability to disband North Gate?"
The director nodded. "That old guy single-handedly trained many of his disciples and followers, and they're the core of North Gate. But, they're all grateful to the leader, so he has the final say in disbanding them."
"Okay!" Xu Cheng immediately said, "I accept the challenge!"
The director looked at him with a serious expression and pushed the deathmatch letter over. "If you've thought it through, then sign it yourself. But, as the name suggests, I don't need to remind you what the consequences are, right? Losing means sacrifice. "
Xu Cheng thought for three seconds, and then he directly picked up the pen and put his signature on the letter.
"Now, the initiative is in our hands. How long do you need to prepare?" the director asked Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng thought for a bit. "Three days!"
"Sure?"
Xu Cheng nodded. He needed three days to properly examine or find the greatest potential in his body. Three days was enough for him to sort out the condition of his body.
"Okay, then I will represent the police to send this letter of challenge to the people of North Gate." After the director put away the scroll, he said to Xu Cheng, "In the next three days, you just need to focus on preparing for the duel. I will let you guys know. If you have any training facilities, just tell my secretary outside. He will satisfy you. "
Then, the director stood up, patted Xu Cheng's shoulder, and said, "Keep up the good work. The police station is too small for you, but I can give you a stage here."
Xu Cheng grinned, nodded, and saluted. "Yes."
Then he walked out of the office.
After Xu Cheng left, the director picked up his phone and called his good friend from the 5th Military Region.
"Hey, Xu Cheng accepted the challenge. Now tell me, can he beat the leader of North Gate? You know Xu Cheng, but I don't. "As soon as the call ended, the director got straight to the point.
On the other end, Xu Cheng's instructor scolded, "You really let him accept the challenge? Old Liu, I told you to take good care of my student. Are you trying to screw him over or something? "
Director Liu bitterly smiled. "I had no choice. The city council voted to take down North Gate without any bloodshed, and I didn't force Xu Cheng to fight. He agreed and even signed the letter. Now tell me, what are his chances of winning?"
"Before, I dared to say 100%, but now, I really don't want to pour cold water on you." On the other end of the phone, Xu Cheng's instructor sighed. "This little b * stard is really restless, stirring up trouble as soon as he went. He really thinks of himself as the Xu Cheng of the past."
"Is there a problem with his current strength?" Director Liu asked.
"Big problem!" The instructor sighed. "Before, he had the strength of a national-level A soldier, but now he's down to C level, just below D level. Do you think he can beat that leader?"
Director Liu's eyelids twitched.
"Hey, can't you help him out a little? I entrusted him to you because I feel guilty towards him. To be honest, according to the report from the research institute, there's no way for him to recover, and I can't tell him that. That's why I sent him to the big city of Shangcheng to get some experience. It's only been a month, and you want him to fight to the death? Old Liu, if something happens to him, I will run to Shangcheng and hack you to death! "
Director Liu swallowed his saliva. "F * ck, so you lied to me. You said you were going to give us a godly weapon. What the f * ck, I even encouraged everyone in front of the municipal committee to vote to take down North Gate. Then I guess I'm going to get myself killed this time."
Instructor: "Serves him right! Sigh, since Xu Cheng already signed, then we can only leave it to fate. "
During lunch, Ran Jing heard people talking in the cafeteria. "Let me tell everyone some news. Just now, that Xu Cheng came out of the director's office. He accepted the challenge!"
Ran Jing's eyes widened, and she immediately turned around and walked out of the cafeteria after putting down her plate.
Before Xu Cheng even walked out of the HQ, Ran Jing caught up to him in the parking lot and asked, "Do you feel like living is so hard that you want to die?"
Xu Cheng replied half-jokingly and half-seriously, "How did you know?"
Ran Jing didn't even know what to say.
"To be honest, the day my dad died was like the end of the world for me. In the coming days, if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to know the answer in my heart, I would've died a long time ago."
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and lit it up. Then, he leaned against the wall and took a puff. Looking at the blue clouds in the sky, he said, "I was raised by a single parent and raised by my dad. Because of my family and environment, I've always felt inferior and weak. Do you know why I joined the army?"
He faintly said, "Because I want to be strong, I want to be strong. So, when I was in the army, I was just a soldier who liked to purposely take the unconventional path in search of breakthroughs. I can give my instructor conflict, but as long as he allows me, I can give him a satisfactory answer. I have never let my comrades down, and in this life, I want to live a life worthy of my father so that he doesn't have to worry about me in the afterlife. "
Then, he turned around and looked at Ran Jing, who was still stunned, and said, "Maybe I can create a miracle?"
This sentence was also about his own experience. When that defective gene was injected into his body and destroyed all of his bodily functions, who would've thought that it would give birth to another kind of talent?
Ran Jing didn't say anything. She looked at Xu Cheng's eyes, determined and deep. She felt like nothing she said would be able to change his mind. In that moment, she was sure that almost no one could persuade Xu Cheng. But at the same time, she seemed to have been convinced.
