Chapter 1111 - 1107: Escaping the Tiger’s Den
For a moment, the commander wanted to kill Qin Hao on the spot.
Do you have to be such a lion with a big mouth!
The military had long promised not to get involved in the Noble Families’ battles.
Now you’re forcing me to protect the Noble Families?
Isn’t this asking the military to betray its principles!
Because of his anger, the commander put his hand under the table, gritting his fists tightly.
Qin Hao wasn’t in a hurry, patiently whistling.
The whistle was very sharp, making the commander feel restless.
After a while, he said, "Please stop whistling, I agree with you!"
"Hehe." Qin Hao smiled, took out a document from his jacket, and handed it over, saying, "Thank you, commander."
Did he prepare this contract early?
The commander felt very uncomfortable.
He thought he could use Qin Hao and then kick him away.
As a result, what he expected didn’t happen.
He seemed to be the one who got tricked?
No matter how angry, the commander could only endure and picked up a pen to sign his name on the contract.
Qin Hao took back the contract, reviewed it, and folded it up satisfied, putting it back into his pocket.
He was not afraid of the commander breaking the agreement because if such a big figure were involved in a scandal, many of his political enemies would not stand idle.
As long as the commander dared to break the contract, once exposed, although he might not be legally reprimanded, under the endless attacks from political enemies, he’ll find himself deep in trouble.
"Now, can you give me the Celestial Dragon Order?" The commander’s voice was filled with anger.
Since his appointment to this position, it was the first time he was thoroughly defeated by someone.
It could be said today was a significant loss of face for him.
"Of course." Qin Hao opened his jacket, revealing a small pouch inside.
He threw the pouch onto the table, making a bang.
The commander immediately grabbed the bag to open it, seeing the seven Celestial Dragon Orders inside, his face finally relaxed a bit.
But soon, his expression changed slightly, "Where are the other two pieces?"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "One piece is with the commander himself, isn’t it?"
The commander snorted coldly, not feeling embarrassed being exposed, "Apart from this piece, there’s another one."
"That one is not in my hands." Qin Hao said rather calmly, "Our original agreement was to obtain the Celestial Dragon Orders from the Noble Families and Major Clans, not to find that elusive ’Messenger’."
"So you knew it all along." The commander’s face cooled, "Did Situ Boguang tell you? You slipped into the Situ Family easily, that spineless man, not even having grown a backbone over the years."
"Knowing when to admit defeat isn’t weak." Qin Hao corrected earnestly, "On the contrary, it means the wise recognize and seize opportunities."
"Heh." The commander sneered, now having the Token in hand, he slowly wanted to turn against him.
Unnoticed, a gun appeared in his hand; if he lifted it, Qin Hao would likely be in danger of being shot.
Moreover, there were many guards nearby, just with a loud command, they’d be enough to engulf Qin Hao.
Thinking of how Qin Hao was showing off in front of him just now, the commander was very angry, ready to act, but unexpectedly Qin Hao stood up, slapped the table, and said, "I have a way to get the ninth Celestial Dragon Order."
"Oh? What idea?" The commander released the trigger and squinted his eyes.
He thought Qin Hao was lying.
This young man, perhaps sensing the air thick with murder, was trying to find an excuse to survive.
Qin Hao’s expression didn’t change, "I’m temporarily unable to disclose it, but I can guarantee that on the fifteenth of this month, I will bring the ninth Celestial Dragon Order!"
"Do you think deceiving me is easy?" The commander squinted his eyes tightly, pursing his lips, like a sharp knife.
Qin Hao’s expression remained calm, "Believe it or not." Finished speaking, he closed his mouth, seeming quite economical with words.
The commander’s mind spun a thousand times.
He must be lying.
I have to kill him.
But, what if not?
What if it’s true?
Actually, the military had been planning this "treasure hunt" for a long time to enter Celestial Dragon Island.
Because they knew one Token was challenging to obtain.
The military enlisted the world’s best carpenters and artisans, having them collaboratively carve out the elusive Celestial Dragon Order.
Under the efforts of two masters, the counterfeit Celestial Dragon Order was born, nearly lifelike.
But, before trying, who knows if this thing can really pass as the real?
What if it doesn’t work?
On the fifteenth, would everyone just stare blankly outside the island?
Qin Hao’s words undoubtedly added a layer of security for the opening day.
If the fake Celestial Dragon Order doesn’t work, can’t they use the real one?
Getting the new Celestial Dragon Order is great.
But, will they just let Qin Hao go?
The commander felt he couldn’t do it.
He truly couldn’t swallow this anger.
This moment, Qin Hao said very calmly, "Commander, the opportunity only comes once. I’ll give you three seconds."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
When Qin Hao reached "One," the commander instinctively shouted, "On the fifteenth, if you don’t bring the Celestial Dragon Order, I’ll ruin all your friends!"
"Great." Qin Hao smiled, "Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave then."
The commander did not oppose, watching Qin Hao leave through the door.
The door closed, and after a minute.
The commander, who had been still, suddenly moved.
He punched the porcelain cup on the table, breaking it in two, yelling, "Bastard!"
Squeak.
The door opened, the secretary poked in half a head, looking surprised.
What happened?
The commander, unexpectedly, exploded like this?
Originally the commander wanted to scold the secretary, but then thought of some things, said, "Get Hu Fei in here!"
"Yes!" The secretary left, soon, Hu Fei walked into the office with her head down.
"Come here!"
The commander stood up, his demeanor very indifferent.
Hu Fei walked over nervously, like a child who had done something wrong.
"You!" The commander raised his hand, ready to properly teach Hu Fei a lesson.
But his hand paused in mid-air, unable to come down.
He saw Hu Fei’s shoulders trembling.
The commander softened, lifting Hu Fei’s face.
At this moment, he realized Hu Fei was already crying.
"Feifei, what’s going on..." The commander was ruthless in his work, but in front of a beloved disciple, he had a tender side too.
Hu Fei bit her lip, trying hard not to cry out loud.
The commander held her in his arms, "Go ahead, say whatever you want."
"Commander! Qin Hao he... he’s a scumbag!"
"What happened!" Mentioning Qin Hao, the commander’s anger surged, he pushed Hu Fei away, sternly asked.
Hu Fei was startled, her face fluctuating between red and white, "He drugged me, forcing me to be his servant..."
"Bastard!" The commander was so angry that he wanted to smash things, "Is this why you listened to him just now?"
"Yes..." Hu Fei hurriedly said, "However, as he was leaving, he gave me the antidote..."
"Consider him sensible, otherwise, I’d make sure there’s no place for him to die!" The commander was very angry. Feifei, this girl, he couldn’t love enough, Qin Hao dared to threaten.
"Commander, there’s one more thing..." Hu Fei said timidly again.
"Say it."
Adjusting his emotions, the commander thought he must not lose his temper.
Hu Fei’s face flickered resolute, she made up her mind, pulled her collar, revealing her charming curves.
Seeing the clear palm print on her there, the commander was fuming, his hair standing upright, yelling, "I’ll kill that brat Qin Hao!"
