Chapter 439: Poisonous Fangs

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After the real estate market regained its rational market price, there wasn’t any crazy rush that was there back in the days. Qin Fen went through all types of layout under the guidance of the saleswoman.

A thousand square meter country villa with mountains and rivers, and a private swimming pool. As for its price...

Qin Fen lightly shook his head and rejected this introduction. Even if a rational real estate market was restored, the price of a thousand square meter mansion was still sky-high for him.

The saleswoman was walking a little in front of Qin Fen; from time to time, she would turn back and peek a glance, her baffled heart getting more and more baffled. Having been in this line of work for many years, she had a lot of confidence in her eyes than ordinary people; this young lieutenant colonel didn’t have the arrogance of a fat cat but instead gave a feeling of deep restraint.

A lieutenant colonel of young age with a calm and restrained temperament . The saleswoman was convinced that the young lieutenant colonel who had come to buy a house was from a powerful influence.

Obviously, he should be from strong influence, but why does he not have a sense of enthusiasm at the sight of truly superior villas?

“This townhouse has an area of four hundred and twenty square meters...”

“The house I want...” Qin Fen calmly interrupted the saleswoman. “Is an ordinary house, enough for two or three people.”

Ordinary house!? The saleswoman was slightly started. She had seen many people in her line of work over the years but she had never seen such a buyer. He clearly had a huge backing but still wanted to buy an ordinary house.

Qin Fen asked indifferently upon seeing the saleswoman not answering, “Do you have them?”

“We have, we have, only...” The hesitant look on the saleswoman’s face was soon replaced by a professional smile, with a bit of self-depreciation on her lips. “Come with me, please.”

Qin Fen stood before the model of a ninety-nine square meters flat and stopped. “What about this? Is this empty?”

“Yes.” The saleswoman showed her professional side and said without even looking at the information in her hands. “A block, a unit is available on the eighteenth floor at the Windy Beaumonte.”

“Where should I pay?”

“This way.” The saleswoman led the way with a smile on her face. She wasn’t the least bit surprised by Qin Fen’s direct payment method. She had seen it a lot many times in her line of work.

The procedure of buying a house had become a lot simpler with time and development. Qin Fen paid the necessary fees for buying the house with the e-bank. Feeding all the personal information to the Federation’s supercomputer, he quickly got the key and deed of the house.

Pay, fill in the information, receive the key and the deed, and leave.

Looking at Qin Fen’s disappearing back leaving the lobby, the saleswoman’s lips rose as she laughed at herself. She could not help but shake her head and mumbled to herself unconsciously, “How could I have hesitated just now? So what if there was a building tyrant living in the residential area? If he truly wanted to renovate the house and relied on the influence backing him, he should not be extorted by the apartment tyrant. If my guess is right, the forces behind him will expel the building tyrant of that area in advance.”

Walking out of the sales hall and looking at the key in his hand, a jovial smile blossomed on his face. After all these years! I finally have a house of my own.

Looking up at ordinary people, who looked as dazzling as sunlight, the corner of Qin Fen’s lips twitched slightly several times. Suddenly, Lee Myeong Jeong, whom he had seen at the military airport flashed across his mind.

His venomous smile was like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass. A cold chill gripped Qin Fen’s heart momentarily. In fact, this kind of venomous person was more dangerous than a martial dao master. I must immediately find him and cut off this future trouble first. But God knows where he is now.

At the center of Lunan, the capital of Dongbo Province Zhongzhou, stood towering skyscrapers, one after another. The top floor of the tallest building among them was completely made of floor-type automatic color changing class, standing on which one could oversee the entire city.

“Colonel Zuo, I’m really curious. How can you still remain so calm today?”

Lee Myeong-Jeong rarely took off his military uniform; at present, he was wearing a rough martial attire. Leaning on the sofa and holding a glass of wine in his left hand, he stared straight at the nearby young martial artist facing him.

The man appeared to be in his twenties. His straight and sharp-as-sword eyebrows and eyes were twinkling like stars, coupled with that faint iron-blood aura of a soldier, gave everyone the impression of an elite soldier in the army at first glance.

“General Lee, what do you mean? Why can’t I understand it at all?”

The young soldier also shook the red wine in his hand as he pursed the corner of lips into a polite smile that could refuse someone a thousand miles away.

Lee Myeong-Jeong placed the glass gently on the table. The young soldier before him named Zuo Lin was indeed worthy of the title of East Asia’s Army’s future star. At the young age of twenty-seven, he was the brigadier commander of the fifteenth command, A-brigade!

Having been in the army, Lee Myeong-Jeong was perfectly clear on how difficult it was to rise in the ranks for a young soldier. Qin Fen had made brilliant achievements in war repeatedly yet he was only a lieutenant colonel with no real power. The young man before him was a figure with real military power, a brigadier colonel!

“Colonel Zuo, do you really not know?” Lee Myeong-Jeong’s back left the sofa slightly. “What am I hearing, East Asia’s Army’s future star is about to change?”

“Is that so?” A slight smile spread on Zuo Lin’s face. “That’s a good thing! It means that East Asia Military Region is full of talents.”

“Is that really a good thing?” Lee Myeong-Jeong straightened his spine completely before he slightly leaned forward. “It seems Colonel Zuo looks down on that young soldier!?”

Zuo Lin, on the other hand, chuckled as he leaned into the back of the sofar and shook the glass of red wine. “General Lee, I don’t look down on him. On the contrary, I admire him. The East Asian recruits who have been on the weaker end of the recruit tournament for many years had swept through the recruits of other continents. So, I really admire him.”

Lee Myeong-Jeong tapped the armrest with his middle and index finger of his right hand; a bit of dissatisfaction could be found between his brow. Zuo Lin before him was indeed worthy to be the future star from a large military family; there wasn’t the slightest bit of anger in his tone.

However, is he really not angry? Lee Myeong-Jeong didn’t believe that Zuo Lin really didn’t care. Perhaps, when Qin Fen had led the East Asia recruits in winning the tournament, Zuo Lin really didn’t care, a recruit with no background.

But now!? The corner of Lee Myeong-Jeong’s lips moved several times, as if he was trying to contain his smile. Over the past few years, the military headquarters had sent batches of people to Saturn one after another. They had been wanting to have this planet in complete control with Earth’s military, but it had never been achieved.

Instead, the military’s control over at Saturn was getting weaker and weaker with the joining of various other forces and the rapid rise of two competing divine beast forces, Elysium and Inferno. Now, it had reached the point that they had no choice but to replace the commander.

There were huge perks of being the forward commanding-in-chief of Saturn’s army apart from the huge danger.

The benefits were so good that even Snake King could not ignore it.

The forward commanding-in-chief to be sent to Saturn in the near future was going to be young for sure! This was acknowledged by almost all the military of various continents.

If Qin Fen had not appeared all of a sudden after Du Zhanpeng’s death, Lee Myeong-Jeong believed that Zuo Lin would have had a great chance of becoming the candidate for Saturn’s new forward commanding-in-chief along with candidates from other continents.

Now!? With Snake King showing the signs of vigorously nurturing Qin Fen, Lee Myeong-Jeong believed that it would be impossible for Zuo Lin and the forces backing him to fail to notice at this point.

Saturn’s forward commanding-in-chief was not just a commander’s position. Even if one failed to become the divine beast in the competition, it could become a powerful springboard for the promotion in the army in the future.

Zuo Lin said that he didn’t care, but Lee Myeong-Jeong would rather believe that he was a woman.

“Colonel Zuo, I will get straight to the point.” Lee Myeong-Jeong didn’t want to beat around the bush. “Saturn’s commander will be replaced in the near future. As for who will it be, it’s really difficult to say. In my opinion, if Qin Fen continues to do meritorious services and expand his influence in the army, your chances of becoming Saturn’s commander will be even smaller.”

Zuo Lin spread his hands and asked with a smile, “What does General Lee mean?”

“Cooperation!” Lee Myeong-Jeong fiercely clenched his fingers of his right hand as he formed a fist. “I hope that in the next few days, we will work together to put pressure and exclude Qin Fen from the army’s battle lineup. It won’t be good for you if he enters the battle lineup.”

“Oh!?” Zuo Lin rested his right elbow on the armrest and lightly nodded, resting his chin on the palm. “This is quite fair. You will help me by excluding him from the battle lineup, which would give him a mental blow which would, in turn, cause cracks to appear in his mental fortitude, making it easier to lose his life in his duel with Bae Seong-Joon.”

“That’s right! That’s exactly what I was thinking!”

Lee Myeong-Jeong raised his forefinger. He didn’t hide anything. He couldn’t hide the matter of the airport from the forces behind Zuo Lin. Since he couldn’t hide it, he simply admitted it.

Zuo Lin lightly clapped hands; applause slowly resounded in the room. “General Lee, do you think that I’m afraid of Qin Fen?”

Lee Myeong-Jeong was slightly startled. After Qin Fen had joined the army, almost everyone would know how strong his potential and strengths were as long as they saw his archives. Only if someone’s brain had been kicked by donkey would they fail to pay attention to him.

“I admit, Qin Fen is very strong. I have no choice but to admit this fact.” Zuo Lin stood up slowly, taking support from the armrest. “But, so what? Ever since I, Zuo Lin have joined the army, I have always been the strongest. I have never found a decent opponent. Even those candidates from other continents, who are competing for the position of the commander with me, are like clay chickens and pottery dogs, nothing more, nothing less. To be honest, I have been feeling a bit lonely...”

Zuo Lin stood before a french window and looked into the distance over the city. His heroic and domineering face was filled with a touch of loneliness. “It has been really lonely and boring to be born in an era without any opponent. Those so-called opponents are so boring that they don’t even deserve to be toys for me to play. Even Elysium and Inferno, the two civil organizations of Saturn are just the same for me. If Saturn’s soldiers were under my command, it will be as easy as flipping my palm for me to sweep through them.”

Lee Myeong-Jeong felt a little uneasy. Before, he only had Snake King in his mind to deal with, and as such, he only had a superficial understanding of Zuo Lin. It seems his personality is different from what I had imagined.

“General Lee.”

Zuo Lin turned around slowly. With sunlight being blocked by his broad and muscular back, it was difficult for anyone to see his figure from the front. It also gave the impression that his figure had suddenly grown bigger.

“Perhaps you don’t know? I am really lonely. I need a toy. It’s like a cat playing with a mouse.” Zuo Lin suddenly raised his hand and snapped his finger, crisp and loud. “Now that a toy has appeared for me, why would I destroy it before I get to play with it? Qin Fen, I need to wait for him to grow a bit. And the moment when he is in the highest spirits, I will knock him down from the top. It will be interesting to watch him fall from the top to the bottom, and that look of despair...”

Lee Myeong-Jeong looked at Zuo Lin silently; his vulture-like eyes flickered with a flash of confusion. He couldn’t understand whether Zuo Lin had absolute self-confidence or if he was just arrogant, so arrogant that he had no brains!?

“Colonel Zuo, Qin Fen is not a toy you can play with casually.” Lee Myeong-Jeong also stood up and said, word by word, “Be careful of bringing up a tiger only to injure yourself.”

“Bringing up a tiger only to injure myself!?” Zuo Lin broke into laughter. “That would be the best. I really don’t want to see him turn out to be a useless pig when I destroy him. Defeat a tiger, the mere thought of this makes me very happy.”

Lee Myeong-Jeong took a step towards Zuo Lin and said in a serious tone, staring at him, “You will regret it.”

“Regret!?” Zuo Lin said with a cold look on his face, pointing at himself with his index finger, “General Lee, I, Zuo Lin, don’t have the word ‘regret’ in my dictionary. If you have nothing else, please leave.”

Lee Myeong-Jeong sighed at the sky and turned around with his arm swinging wide before he made his way out of the room.

Zuo Lin, looking at the fiercely vibrating door caused by Lee Myeong-Jeong slamming it shut and sneered, “Lee Myeong-Jeong, I, Zuo Lin, and the forces behind me would be cannon fodder for someone else.”

The vibrating door slowly regained its stillness. Zuo Lin crushed the transparent wine glass in his hand into pieces. The cold look on his face turned gloomy and hideous as he spoke with killing intent, revealing his rows of white teeth, “Qin Fen, you should not have, should not have help Lin Jiaxuan leave Qinghai alive! And you should not have helped that useless fiancee of mine become the champion aerial combat team in the recruit tournament even more! You should not have robbed me of everything!”

Picking up the white towel on the table, Zuo Lin wiped the red wine off his hand and threw it away. “If you luckily survive the fight with Bae Seong-Joon, you will die by my hands. The army doesn’t need two future stars, it only needs one.”

Zuo Lin sat back on the large, comfortable, and expensive sofa, resting his legs on the nearby tea table. Looking through the large french window at the endless sky, he grabbed the red wine from the wine rack beside the armrest and poured it. “Saturn’s commander will be me! I’m not just going to be Saturn’s forward commanding-in-chief, I will also going to be Saturn’s commander-in-chief! I will become the uncrowned king of Saturn, who can stand side by side with other planets’ armies!”
