What will come will come.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not long after the first segment of the Crisis grade assessment ended, Qiu Xiangji knocked on Ye Jingshan's office door once more.
Come in, Ye Jingshan said in a deep voice.
Qiu Xiangji pushed the door open with a smile, licking his belly. He saw that Ye Jingshan had set up three chairs across from his desk. Ma Jian and Hou Baishan were already seated there, and the last chair was definitely prepared for him.
Good morning, Battalion Commander Ye. Qiu Xiangji greeted Ye Jingshan with a smile and sat down across from him.
Are the three of you still planning to specially recruit that candidate named Xia Fei? Ye Jingshan asked with a gloomy expression.
Qiu Xiangji narrowed his eyes. Battalion Commander Ye, the first segment of the assessment is over, and Xia Fei has successfully passed the first segment. From the potential he has displayed, there is no one more suitable for him to come to our command division to learn tactics. What do you think?
Ma Jian's long face immediately sank the moment he heard Qiu Xiangji's words. Battalion Commander Ye, Xia Fei was able to scare off a bunch of cruel black scorpions with just his gaze. That is a great potential for him to become an exotic beast tamer. Not only do we need to take care of exotic beasts, but we also need to intimidate and intimidate them when we encounter stubborn exotic beasts. That is why I wish for Xia Fei to come to our exotic beast division and specialize in training those cunning and cruel exotic beasts.
Ma Jian was somewhat pleased with himself after he finished speaking. He had spent three whole days thinking about this gorgeous speech, believing that Ye Jingshan would definitely be moved by his well-reasoned speech.
Hou Baishan pursed his lips and did not say a word. From the moment he entered the office and saw the three chairs Ye Jingshan had set up, coupled with his understanding of Ye Jingshan's personality, Hou Baishan was certain that Ye Jingshan had already made up his mind. At this point, it would be very difficult for anyone to convince him otherwise, so he simply waited there quietly, waiting for the final decision.
Ye Jingshan nodded without batting an eyelid. Just as he was about to speak, the communicator on his desk suddenly rang. It was his daughter, Ye Xiaohan, calling. Xiaohan, why do you need to call me during office hours?
Ye Jingshan had always been strict with his daughter. Even if the two of them wanted to exchange a few words, they would have to wait until after office hours. The reason why Ye Xiaohan had such a cold personality was partly because she inherited his genes and partly because of the influence of Ye Jingshan's so-called rules.
Reaching out to tap on his communicator, Ye Jingshan said, I have some business to attend to right now. Give me a moment.
Coughing twice, Ye Jingshan stared at the three supervisors in front of him and said, Ive already made up my mind on this matter. Heaven Execution Training Camp will not be specially enrolling this candidate named Xia Fei.
Ma Jian abruptly slapped his thigh and stood up from his chair. This result was clearly out of his expectations. "Battalion Commander Ye, why?"
Hou Baishan and Qiu Xiangji shook their heads regretfully. Unlike Ma Jian, they were smart people and had already expected this outcome.
It was not worth it for the three supervisors to fall out over a single candidate. As the battalion commander, Ye Jingshan would definitely do his best to prevent such a situation from happening.
You lot keep saying that he is a genius. If he really is, he should have passed the entrance exam and entered the training camp on his own instead of relying on special recruitment. That's all. You may leave now, Ye Jingshan said coldly.
"Sigh!" Ma Jian stomped his foot heavily and walked out of Ye Jingshan's office with a gloomy face. Qiu Xiangji and Hou Baishan followed behind him and politely greeted Ye Jingshan before taking their leave.
Ye Jingshan sighed and tapped on his communicator. Ye Xiaohan's figure immediately appeared on the screen.
"Father, there's something very strange," Ye Xiaohan said. "Thirty-two candidates have gone missing in this assessment. I've checked the records of the past Crisis grade assessments, and there has never been so many candidates going missing at the same time."
The number of candidates who had been abducted was actually twelve, but all twelve of them were young and possessed high-level abilities. If this were to be made public, it would surely cause widespread suspicion. After all, the characteristics of these candidates were all too similar.
President Robert had purposely changed the missing list to thirty-two candidates, adding twenty dead candidates to the missing list in order to deceive the public.
Abduction and disappearance were two completely different concepts. The mighty Adjudicator Union could only watch helplessly as others entered the assessment grounds and abducted people. This was not something to be proud of.
"Oh?" Ye Jingshan furrowed his eyebrows. "Thirty-two. It is indeed rather unexpected for so many candidates to go missing. Have you reported this to Robert? This sort of matter falls under the responsibility of the assessment and investigation departments. "
Ye Xiaohan nodded. "President Robert has already personally arrived at the assessment grounds. I just went to look for him, and he said that the Union has already begun their investigation. What's strange is that when I wanted to retrieve the video data of these candidates, I discovered that it has already been classified as confidential, requiring level 7 clearance to access."
"Level 7 clearance?" The wrinkles on Ye Jingshan's forehead deepened. Level 7 clearance meant that aside from the Union's clandestine investigation team and Robert himself, no one else had the right to access it. If it was merely the disappearance of candidates, there was absolutely no need for it to be classified as a level 7 secret. Could there be some unspeakable secret behind this?
"A candidate by the name of Xia Fei reported to me the circumstances of the disappearance. According to him, it was an expert with at least the cultivation of Star River rank who barged into the assessment grounds and abducted his companions. I've carefully scrutinized his report and analysis, and it's highly credible." Ye Xiaohan lowered her voice as she spoke.
"Xia Fei? Number 70563, a native Earth candidate? "Ye Jingshan asked in confusion.
Ye Xiaohan was even more shocked than him. "Father, do you know this candidate?"
Ye Jingshan nodded. Not only did he know, he knew all too well. In order to specially recruit Xia Fei, the three supervisors under him had nearly come to blows with one another. It was as if wherever Xia Fei appeared, there would be endless trouble.
"Robert is an experienced and responsible president. I believe that he has the ability to handle this matter well. You don't have to ask about it anymore. Let the clandestine investigation team handle it." Ye Jingshan used a commanding tone as he said, "This matter is of utmost importance. You mustn't mention it to anyone. You must trust the Union."
Ye Xiaohan still wanted to say something, but when she saw the cold expression on her father's face, she held it in.
Turning off the communicator, Ye Jingshan leaned back in his chair, his two hands behind his head as he muttered to himself, "That Xia Fei sure is a lingering spirit."
Far away on Earth, Xia Fei helplessly watched as Avrils quietly shed tears in front of him. He was not the kind of person who would be unable to move his legs when he saw a beautiful lady, nor was he someone who would treat making a girl cry as a form of entertainment.
After a moment of silence, Xia Fei somewhat guiltily said, "Sorry, Im not in a good mood. I was a little impulsive just now. I shouldnt have scolded you or made you cry."
Avrils tears were wiped away, a stubborn look on her face. "Who cried? I was just, just. "
"You were only blinded by the sand that was blown by the wind?" Xia Fei asked with a smile.
"Yes! That's it! "Avrils lips pouted as she stubbornly said.
Xia Fei was speechless. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs as he softly said, "Alright, there's a breeze in the bedroom."
"Scoundrel!" Avrils tears turned into a smile as she regained her radiant temperament. This was the advantage of being a cheerful girl; she would not hold a grudge and was easier to coax.
"Did something make you unhappy?" Avrils head tilted as she pulled out a pink handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face.
"Nothing much. It's all in the past," Xia Fei vaguely answered, not mentioning anything about Xiao Yu.
Avrils evil smile appeared on her face as she said, "I dont know what trouble you're in right now, but I do know that youll be in for a very big one very soon."
"What kind of trouble?"
"Do you know what the second part of the Adjudicator Assessment is?"
Xia Fei shook his head. "How did you know that I'm participating in the Adjudicator Assessment?"
"Hmph! I can even find your anonymous account, so of course I know what you're doing right now. Your name is Xia Fei, seventeen years old, and you're currently taking part in the Crisis grade assessment held on Earth. You even managed to pass the first round. Am I right? "Avrils expression was strange and adorable. Xia Fei frowned.
Xia Fei was speechless. He could not figure out just who Avrils was, for her to actually know so much about him. Could it be that she even knew his bank account number?
"The second part of the assessment is a duel. It's a duel between two people in the arena. There are a total of 723 candidates participating in the second part of the assessment. You're ranked last, and your opponent is ranked first. The last one is going to fight against the first one. You're in trouble this time."
"Ranking? What's that? "Xia Fei was even more confused. He had never heard of something like a candidate's ranking.
"You don't even know this? How ignorant. Every time there's an assessment, the bookies will rank all the candidates and give out different odds. It's been like this all these years. Do you know what your odds are? "
"Nope."
"One to a thousand! Your opponent is the bookies' favorite, Chen Dongs. Everyone is certain that you won't win. "
"What did you say his name was?" Xia Fei's heart tightened. Could it really be that battle maniac Chen Dongs he met in the desert?
Avrils acted like a little fox. "Chen Dongs. He's from the Kingdom of Frost. He has the terrifying Ice Seal ability. He's a complete lunatic. You'd better be careful, or else, hehe."
"Is it really him?" Xia Fei took a deep drag on his cigarette as he muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Avrils lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Oh, no. It's time for music class. I need to go back to bed and pretend to be sick, or else I'll have to spend another boring afternoon with that annoying old man."
"Wait!" Xia Fei hurriedly stopped her. "You know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you. How did you find me?"
Avrils put a slender finger to her lips and smiled. "That's a secret. If you treat me to ice cream, Ill tell you."
As soon as she said that, the mysterious video call ended, and the long list of candidates appeared in front of Xia Fei once again.
Xia Fei's mood had improved a lot after Avrils antics. This girl was like a joker, making people happy wherever she went. She had a very bright personality, and she was truly a good girl.
