Strange Cards

Chapter 299 I'll go

While chatting, Shi Yu and A piloted the Remnant Fire mech toward the location given by Guan Yun.

After entering the polar region, Shigure rubbed his arms for no apparent reason.

"Holy crap."

"It's still a bit cold here."

"Idiot! What powers your Remnant Fire Mech?"

"Ghostly power."

"What's the second character in your Remnant Flame Mech's name?"

"Fire!"

"I don't believe your mech doesn't even have temperature control capabilities."

"Otherwise, if it were just me and the Jack of Spades at the beginning, you would have been burned to a crisp by now if you had used the Remnant Fire Mech."

"It's cold, why don't you turn on the temperature control?"

"Oh, right, right."

As Shiyu spoke, she activated the mecha's temperature control function. After adjusting the temperature to a comfortable level, she noticed that a call had suddenly come through on the mecha's control panel.

"Boss?"

"What do you need me for at this time?"

Shi Yu was puzzled, but she still pressed the call button.

"Light rain?"

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Dr. Guan Yun just asked me to run an errand to the Arctic to get something for her, but I'm not in Nanhai City right now."

"what?"

At this moment, Qi Wu stood in front of the Beijing Conference Building, looking at the crowd that had already gone inside.

"A top-level meeting is being held now, and you're telling me you're not in the country?"

"Yes, I just arrived in the North Pole."

"Wait, didn't you send Xiao Jiu away? How did you get to the Arctic?"

"The Remnant Fire Mech."

"This guy's peak burst speed can reach Mach 50. Is there anything faster than that?"

"Why don't you come back now?"

"Boss, why don't you attend the meeting for me?"

"I'll vote the way you vote, and help me talk to the chief and the head hunter to put in a good word for me."

"The professor needs to make the engine core for the space cruiser, and she's been urging us for these materials really urgently."

"Alright, alright, you little brat."

"You skipped the second meeting? That's really something!"

"At worst, I'll go in your place next time."

"Get lost! If we both don't go to the Chief Hunter and Old Feng, they'll kill us."

"Alright, alright, that's enough. I've arrived."

As Shigure spoke, she landed and walked into a huge warehouse.

Qi Wu hung up on Shi Yu's call in a huff, then took the elevator to the top conference floor.

The meeting room was already full of people, but today's meeting had one more audience member.

Feng Yan, the elder, sat in a position below the chief, which also represented Feng Yan's status in the country.

The chief frowned as he watched Qi Wu come up, but when he didn't see Shi Yu, he couldn't help but say something.

"Qi Wu"

"Where's that brat Shigure?"

Qi Wu sat down in his seat, took out two beast tokens from his pocket, and threw Shi Yu's token onto Shi Yu's seat.

"That kid went to the Arctic."

"Why would you go to the Arctic?"

"Our southern research hunter, Guan Yun, is researching the engine core of the space cruiser. Shi Yu went to the Arctic to help Guan Yun obtain a batch of materials to make the engine core."

"This kid was absent; he deserves a major demerit."

Upon hearing the reason, the chief nodded and waved his hand.

"Well, he has his reasons. Let him just be absent."

"We need to discuss something important now."

Upon hearing this, the people sitting in their seats straightened up and put away their nonchalant expressions.

The chief glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"War has broken out again in the Middle East, and most of our people are still there and can't come back."

"The embassy also requested my assistance two hours ago, and now we need to finalize the list of people to go and provide rescue."

"On the national diplomatic front, the Minister of the Military was mobilized, and Hu Biao was also involved."

"We need to bring some people from the Hunters who can keep things in check. Those bastards who only know how to fight and kill don't have eyes in their guns."

"I'll make a call and tell Shiyu to come back."

"This kid, being an Asura, exudes a terrifying killing aura that even ghosts fear. I refuse to believe he can't subdue those blinded ghosts."

As he spoke, Qi Wu took out his phone to make a call, while Feng Yan gently tapped his cane.

"Xiao Wu."

"That kid also has his own things to do. We can't always ask him for help when we encounter problems."

"We old folks are still here, why let this kid step up and make a scene first?"

"If what Xiaochuan said is true, that kid has been working almost every day since he joined your Hunters in June. It seems he only rested for one afternoon and one evening."

"Let the child rest for a while, this old man will handle this."

"That kid is too young; he can't control those evil spirits."

"This old man has quite a bit of killing intent about him, and my status and position give me the right to speak. No one will dare to touch me once I get there."

"I have God-Slaying Bullets. If they dare to kill me, once this bullet goes off there, it will be a devastating blow to them."

"No, Grandpa!"

Feng Chuan couldn't hold back any longer and spoke urgently.

"You're over ninety years old; your body can't take any more strain."

"Qi Wu and I can handle this. At worst, we can bring Qian Miao, Leng Miaoling, and Kong Xiangyun with us."

"If the five of us go together, none of those cunning and mischievous people will dare to have any ulterior motives."

Feng Yan slammed his cane on the ground and shouted sternly.

"Nonsense!"

"Fengchuan! You are now the Chief Hunter! Leading all the hunters!"

"The four you mentioned are all headhunters from the Sifang Base. Do you realize how much of a blow it would be to the hunters if all five of you got into trouble together?"

"The hunters have finally entered a period of stable development. Don't you dare try to do anything to them. If we go back to square one, we won't even have anyone to cry to."

"I and my butler, Old Wang, can handle this matter. None of you are allowed to go without my permission."

"That's settled then."

"grandfather!"

"Feng Chuan! You come out here with me!"

As Feng Yan spoke, he leaned on his cane and walked outside. Just as Feng Chuan was considering whether to follow, Feng Yan's voice came from afar outside the door.

"If you don't come with me, I'll jump off this building right now and die in front of you."

"I'll count to three."

"one."

"They're here!"

Everyone watched as the hunter's chief, a majestic and imposing figure, was now being lectured like a grandson by an old man.

Feng Chuan walked out and looked at Feng Yan, who was standing by the window leaning on his cane, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Feng Yan slowly spoke.

"I'm not letting you go because I've thought about it a lot."

"Those old bones from my generation are already on the verge of death. If we really let them go, they'd probably be gone before they even get there."

"You four headhunters, plus yourself, are the true pillars of the company; you absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."

"I've met Shigure before, and I like him quite a bit, but this matter doesn't warrant him taking the lead."

"He's still young. The hunters aren't all dead, so he's the only one left to take on the task."

"What you need to do now is to stay in Kyoto and protect this land for me."

"To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll come back alive this time, so I need to bring God of War bullets with me."

"Those trapped in the Middle East are all our compatriots, and I have no reason not to save them."

"Our Feng family is full of loyal martyrs; you could say they all died for the country."

"You're not allowed to throw a tantrum today. Your parents aren't here, and I've raised you from a tiny baby to where you are today. Do you think I can control you?"

"You are the chief hunter. If something happens to you, it will have far-reaching consequences, and the resulting disaster will be immeasurable."

"I'll wade into this muddy water. Anyway, the old man is already over ninety years old, and he doesn't really have many years left to live."

"If we don't count the battles I fought in my youth and the damage from using the strange cards, I would definitely live longer than Old Master Shi. He lived for over a hundred years, while I, having used so many, have lived to be over ninety."

"If I die, bury me in the Feng family's ancestral graveyard. I'll go down there and tell your parents that I didn't disgrace them."

"There's no need to bury me with state honors. I'm already dead anyway, so how I'm buried is just a matter of rhetoric."

"Why must one die on the battlefield? Where in life is there no green hills to climb?"

"Today I want to be a seed, planted in your hearts."

"Today, I can lead the charge for my compatriots despite my old age, and I can do the same for you in the future."

"Did you remember?"

Feng Chuan nodded bitterly, while Feng Yan finally smiled and slapped Feng Chuan on the back of the head.

"Just remember that, it wasn't a waste of my breath."

"Let's go back."
