Capital City
Inside an ancient building.
An old man was sitting in the yard, looking through the document Rupert had just sent over. It was quite thick, being about seven or eight pages long. It retold everything about David in the past 21 years. The old man read it very slowly.
Two stately middle-aged men stood behind the old man.
The man looked old, at least not too different from Rupert
However, he was unlike Rupert, whose face was full of wrinkles and looked weak as if he was dying.
On the contrary, this man looked hale, hearty, and energized, as if he could live for another twenty or thirty years.
This old man was Henry Thompson-the leader of National Special Task Force Team B. He had been the leader of Team B for more than thirty years but was still strong.
It was not that he was greedy for power and did not give opportunities to young people. He had applied for retirement several times but it had never been granted.
It was because Team B had not found a person who could intimidate the whole team, see the big picture, and plan everything appropriately to replace him so far.
Functioning as an important department of the country to maintain order between local martial artists, Team B had arduous tasks and needed someone with strength and vision to be in charge.
After more than ten minutes, the old man finished reading.
He conveniently passed the document to the two middle-aged men behind him. After this, he seemed to b e in a trance.
Henry was not calm.
If the information Rupert gave him was true, the young man named David was someone terrifying.
The word “genius” could hardly describe his brilliance.
Would Rupert lie to him? Almost impossible.
Therefore, David’s profile was real.
A 21-year-old student in his junior year, whose first 21 years had been uneventful, miserable even, before he suddenly had the power of a Tiger Rank peak master and large sums of money from unknown sources.
It would normally be impossible. A person could get rich instantly but not become a master in the Tiger Rank.
Therefore, it was just like what Rupert analyzed in the end–the boy had a mentor who had secretly taught him from an early age.
It was probably his master’s decision not to expose himself even though he suffered 21 years of humiliation. Rupert had confirmed it in his meeting with him.
What was rare was the boy’s nature-judging by his actions since he was exposed.
He did not become twisted and vengeful because of his miserable childhood.
He was still right-minded. He would retaliate against his bullies, but he had a bottom line.
He would also repay the kindness of people who had helped him.
Therefore, it seemed that his mentor was not a heinous person. Perhaps his mentor had some reason to let him bear the pain thus far.
The country welcomed such strong and right-minded talents with a clean background.
With David secretly becoming a Tiger Rank peak master at 21, letting him join Team B seemed unworthy o f his talents.
If such a talent joined Team B, it would only make him slack. He would be a top member in Team B and would gradually lose his motivation as the team of members who were decades old were not as strong a s him.
At the age of 21, he was in his prime. Only by letting him join Team A to meet people stronger than himself and arousing his competitiveness could he make continuous progress.
He was a good talent that had to be cultivated. He might even be the country’s weapon in the future.
There was a reason why Henry could be the leader of Team B for more than thirty years.
After finding that David was a good talent, what he immediately thought was not to join Team B but to put David’s growth and the interests of the country first. His strong overall view was impressive.
The two middle-aged men standing behind Henry also finished reading the document.
“Sir, if the information is true, we should add David Lidell to our team as soon as possible!”
“Yes! We must not miss such a good talent.”
Henry leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, “Add him to the team? How will you two place him?”
“Such elite must be in my first unit. I’m sure I can train him well!”
“What do you mean be in your first unit? Could you train him well, but I can’t? He must join my second unit. You already have more members than me!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“You’re second. I’m first. Let’s who he chooses when the time comes!”
“It’s not about who he chooses. Your first unit already has one more man than we do. You should give him to us!”
The two men started arguing over David.
One of them was the leader of the Special Task Force Team B first unit, and the other was the leader of the second unit.
Special Task Force Team B had four units in total. The other two teams were carrying out their missions outside.
“Are you two punks trying to piss me off? I still can’t retire because you two are always scheming for your own benefits. All my old comrades are enjoying tea and fishing every day? I’m the only one who has to listen to you squabbling every day,” Henry scolded both of them.
“Sir, you’re still young! You can do this for a couple more decades!”
“Yes, yes, yes! We’re incapable of taking your place!”
“Tell me! David is already a Tiger Rank peak master. What progress can you expect him to make if he joins you?” asked Henry.
“Well… David might be a Tiger Rank peak master, but he’s only 21 years old and a university student. He won’t have much practical experience! We could give him that, don’t you think so. York?”
“Yes! We can give him practical experience!” replied York,
They now agreed to get David first before discussing which team he should go to.
They could hear from the tone of their team leader that he might not even recruit David into their teams.
“F*ck off! Can’t you two boys grow up a little? I told you guys to look at the big picture. What’s the big picture? To Special Task Force, the big picture is domestic stability. I’ve decided to refer David Lidell to Team A as a backup member!”
‘I knew it!
They both sighed at each other.
After reading the document, they knew David was too good for them to keep.
There was no way they could keep a 21-year-old Tiger Rank peak master.
This was the full extent of their capabilities. At best, they only had more practical experience than David. They could not teach David nor help him progress.
David could only progress by joining Team A and get spurred on by those psychos.
