Chapter 171
David understood once Rupert finished speaking.
National Special Task Force had to be some terrifying organization,
Old Master Luther used to be a member of this organization, but he retired because of his injury. The organization would still ensure the safety of the Luther family as long as he was alive.
However, this was on the premise that the Luther family themselves was innocent. If the Luther family wanted to cause trouble and offend others, the organization would not intervene.
To put it simply, they had backup when they were innocent, but they were on their own when they were being unreasonable,
Charles pulled out his firearm to take out Zachary’s bodyguard, so he was being unreasonable and would die in vain.
“However, why is the old man telling me so many things?
‘He even said he’d give me a big present.
‘Does he want me to join the National Special Task Force?’
‘It would be nice if I could join, I would have status and backup. At the very least, I won’t have to worry about spending money, right?
‘I have neither stolen nor robbed others, so I can spend my own money. If others were jealous and came looking for trouble, I would be considered innocent, right?’
David thought it sounded good after thinking about the matter in that way.
He just had no idea if there were any constraints.
‘Will I have to work 9 to 5 every day? I haven’t even graduated from
university!’
“Old Master Luther, are you trying to get me to join the National Special Task Force?” Asked David.
“Do you think this organization is easy to join, Dave?” Rupert asked in reply.
“It should be… difficult!” replied David.
“It’s not difficult! It’s very difficult! You can only join National Special Task Force by being referred by an internal staff! They don’t hire openly. Even if you are referred, the most rigorous vetting and tests await you.”
“As a retired member of Special Task Force Team B, I can refer others. I planned to reserve the position for Charlie at first. Unfortunately, he’s not talented enough, and he would only get eliminated. So I would like to refer you. With your talents, I’m sure you’ll pass the tests, Dave!”
“Old Master Luther, you want to refer me to join Special Task Force and protect the Luther family?” asked David
“That’s just one of many things. With your talents at this age, I’m more optimistic about your future, Dave. So I’d like to invest my referral in you,” said Rupert.
“Old Master Luther, how could you be sure that I will join Special Task
Force? What if I refuse?”
“Because I know you need it now! Dave, you’ve endured 20 years of humiliation without revealing your strength, so I assume your mentor didn’t want you exposed. He might have enemies, or there could be others reasons, but either way, you need an identity.”
“You looked into me?”
David’s aura burst out at that instant, shaking the shelves and chairs in the study.
His biggest fear now was that someone would look into his background and discover his secret. He was not strong enough to keep his secret yet.
There was a saying, “A precious stone lands its innocent possessor in trouble.” Once it was revealed that he had a system, there would be many forces who would try to find out more.
They might just cut him open.
‘Get stronger! I must get stronger as soon as possible!
‘Fortunately, he only thinks I have a mentor!
‘That’s the best explanation!
‘Being able to teach such an apprentice, this non-existent mentor should be able to deter him!
“As long as no one could find out that I have a system, I’ll say I have a mentor!
David’s newly tense nerves loosened slightly at the thought as he withdrew his aura.
Chapter 172
He dared not unleash his aura on Rupert either. After all, he was scared he would kill the defenseless old man.
David had no idea that people would not think of a system at all.
You could only get stronger, step by step. There were no shortcuts or serendipity.
Even the most gifted person need to start at an early age. They would only live a mediocre life once they were past their prime.
Therefore, the rational assumption would be exactly as Rupert had said. It would be the same even if someone really did look into his background.
“Dave, don’t be alarmed. We’re friends, not enemies. You should thank me for looking into you. I concealed your identity after I finished my investigations. There have been at least three parties looking into you afterward, but they found nothing,” explained Rupert.
The aura David released earlier was strong!
Although he did not direct it at him, as a former master in the Tiger Rank, he still had the perception even though his powers were gone.
David was strong, stronger than he was at his peak!
It made him more determined to bind the Luther family with David.
Only in this way could the Luther family continue to flourish, while it would no longer be impossible to extend their influence beyond South River Province.
South River Province could only be considered below average amongst the provinces and cities in the country. There were still many more opportunities out there.
Besides, he found that David was a good person after his investigation.
At the very least, he would repay the kindness of those who helped him.
His health deteriorated day by day. As a master in the Tiger Rank, he was not very old. If he had not been seriously injured, he would have lived for another 20 or 30 years with proper care.
However, he felt that his time was coming and had to find a partner for the Luther family.
David seemed like the best fit for this.
David, who was already a little relaxed, was nervous again when Rupert said that.
‘At least three parties looked into me?
‘Who?
‘Zachary should be one of them!
‘But who are the others?’
‘David could not figure it out!
The unknown was the scariest. He seemed to have caught the attention of some forces. “Old Master Luther, I’m sorry. I got a little nervous just now. But I can’t defy my mentor. I do need an identity,” David said as he played along with Rupert.
Since he said he had a mentor, then so be it! It would explain his sudden transformation
“Dave don’t mention it. The reason I’m telling you all this is because I want you to work closely with the Luther family.”
“Old Master Luther, what do you mean by Special Task Force Team B?” asked David.
“Special Task Force is divided into four teams A, B, C, and D. Team C and D are only responsible for the events triggered by the first-class martial artist, while Team B is the watershed responsible for the events triggered by masters in the Tiger Rank,” explained Rupert.
“What about Team A? Isn’t there a Team A?” asked David.
“Team A is elusive. They only show up when Team B can’t settle an incident, which is rare, so I don’t know much about them either.”
“Dave, referring you to the Special Task Force is just one of the two big presents I’m giving you.”
“What’s the other one?”
Chapter 173
Rupert added, “Special Task Force is a law enforcement department established against the martial artists in the country. Since we have a branch controlling those within, we have another one controlling the outsiders.”
“Outsiders? Is that for the martial artists abroad?” asked David.
“That’s right! Countries aren’t as peaceful as they appear to be, but they’ve agreed not to use weapons of mass destruction, lest lives are lost. Thus, they only test each other’s bottom lines with weapons.
“The organization for martial artists abroad is called Falcon. If you can join both organizations, your data will be regarded as the highest level of classified information in the country. By then, no one will be allowed to read it except for a few people. As long as you don’t commit treason, it’s equal to having two assurances.”
“You can join both?” David asked again.
“Yes, but there are certain conditions.”
David got out of Old Master Luther’s study, bid goodbye to Charles and Sandy, and left the Luther family house.
He needed to go home and digest what Old Master Luther told him today.
Besides National Special Task Force, there was another organization called Falcon for foreign martial artists.
Old Master Luther told him that he had two options. One was to join one of the organizations and become a permanent member, but then he had to be tied to the organization and would not have much free time.
Another option was to apply as a freelancer for both organizations. In this way, he could join the organizations and would not have to be tied to them. He would be notified to join in missions only when the organizations needed him.
A freelancer might sound inferior to a permanent member, but it was more difficult to become a freelancer than a permanent member as the tests were stricter and required the members to be stronger.
However, Rupert thought David would have no problem passing the tests with his skills.
He was at the peak of Tiger Rank at the age of 20. He would stand out the most even amongst heirs of affluent families and successors of hidden lands.
There was no way someone like him could not get in.
David wanted a freelance position as he did not want to be tied down. He had his own affairs to handle.
In his opinion, he could improve with money. He was different from others, so his time must be flexible, and he could not be tied down.
Otherwise, he would have nowhere to spend his money.
However, Old Master Luther gave David another problem,
He wanted David to marry Sandy someday.
From Old Master Luther’s point of view, marriage was the best way to bind the Luther family to David, and he could see that Sandy liked David.
In that case, he would go with the flow. They would be truly linked together if Sandy married David.
This stumped David.
To be honest, he was disgusted by marriage founded on interests.
However, he was embarrassed to refuse right away. His overall impression of the Luther family was pretty good so far. Charles, his sister, and Old Master Luther were kind to him and had helped him a lot.
Finally, he could only make the excuse that Sandy was young and that he would only talk about such things when she was older.
Old Master Luther saw that David disliked the proposal and stopped insisting. He believed that as long as David accepted the Luther family’s favor, he would protect the Luther family as he said he would.
Whether he would end up with Sandy would depend on their fate.
After all, he was the one who wanted a favor right now. Although he had leverage, he could not go too far.
After David left, Rupert made a phone call.
“Hey, Luther! You finally remembered to call me! I thought you’d never contact me again!” A loud voice rang in Rupert’s ear.
Rupert felt emotional as he heard the familiar voice again.
Chapter 174
“Boss, I’m embarrassed to call you! I failed to fulfill the mission you gave me!” Exclaimed Rupert.
“Bullsh*t! The mission failed because there was something wrong with our information. It wasn’t your fault, and you paid dearly for it. The organization did you wrong after all.”
“Boss, it’s been years. Stop mentioning it again. I called to recommend you someone who wants to apply for a freelance position.”
“Who is it?”
“A Tiger Rank peak master in his 20s!”
“What? Are you sure? What about this background? Which affluent family is he from? Or is he the successor of some hidden land?”
“He’s not rich heir! He has a clean background, but he should have a mentor. I don’t know who the mentor is yet. I’ll send you his details
later.”
“Okay! I trust you since you recommended him! When are you coming to Capital City? We haven’t seen each other in years! We’ll be dead if we don’t get together any sooner.”
“Boss, I’ll stop by if I have the chance!”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you!”
Rupert hung up and made another call.
This person was also an old man. However, he was not from Special Task Force but Falcon.
Rupert had gotten a spot for Falcon’s test from him.
The two organizations were working together on a mission, but there was something wrong with their information, so they were ambushed. Rupert was seriously wounded trying to save the man.
At this moment, this man was very influential within Falcon.
He had now used up his two most important favors so that the Luther family could have David as a backup.
Special Task Force owed him a favor.
Falcon’s top brass owed him another.
These two favors were originally saved for the Luther family’s descendants. If a member of the Luther family could use it, even if they could not help the Luther family advance, at the very least they would be able to help the Luther family maintain their current glory for a few more years.
However, over the past thirty years, the Luther family’s second generation were all mediocre. Finally, they had Charles amongst the third generation. He was smart but was not strong enough.
Charles wanted to be the pillar of the Luther family. He needed experience, but his time was running out.
His health was deteriorating these days, and his injuries were starting to act up.
Rupert had a feeling that it might be his last chance. His time was up.
Therefore, he was anxious to find someone give his two favors in exchange for the stability of the Luther family.
David was the most suitable candidate he found. He was so young, so strong, and had a mysterious mentor.
Most importantly, he was nice and grateful, which mattered the most.
Rupert would not have gone this far if David was just strong, or he would have caused trouble for himself instead.
He could predict that the Luther family would become the cake surrounding forces tried to swallow up after he died.
Only David could help the Luther family drive them away.
In another decade, Charles should be able to handle things on his own, and the Luther family would finally stabilize.
Rupert had arranged everything in his power for the Luther family beforehand, but it was up to God to see i f they could continue to maintain their glory or go even further beyond.
Chapter 175
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!”
“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.
Chapter 176
Henry ignored them after he finished speaking. He called his guards and dialed an encrypted number.
“Thompson, what’s the matter? Do you have something you can’t handle? Whereabouts? I’ll send someone right away!” A chipper voice came from the phone.
“Scholl, I have good news for you this time!” said Henry.
“Good news? What good news can you tell me? Did someone in Team B get promoted? Who is it?” asked Leeman Scholl. “No! I’m referring someone to you!”
“You’re referring someone to me? Who is it?”
*A 21-year-old Tiger Rank peak master!”
“What the f*ck? Are you kidding?”
“Nonsense! Why would I kid you?”
“Tell me who they are. They’ve achieved so much at such a young age!
What’s their background? Could they be the heir of some affluent family?
Or the successor of some hidden land?” Asked Leeman.
If it were the heir of an affluent family or hidden land, their value would be greatly reduced. Such a person would always put their family’s interests first.
He would not try his best to serve the country, even if it had done its best to train him.
“He’s not the heir of some affluent family or hidden lands. He has a clean background! His past since his birth is traceable, but he probably has a mentor who taught him in secret,” said Henry.
“A mentor? Yeah, it wouldn’t have been possible without some guidance! Who is his mentor? Did you find out?”
“Not yet! But judging from what he has done since he was exposed, his mentor shouldn’t be some villain! Otherwise, there’s no way they would have a disciple like that!”
“Okay then! Send me what you’ve found! If he’s as you say he is, I’ll have to thank you, Thompson. It’s been a long time since Team A had a young man of such talent.”
“Sure! I’ll send it to you later! Thanks won’t be necessary. We’re all working for the same goal.”
After hanging up, Henry sent the information to Leeman.
Leeman was excited after reading the information Henry shared.
David had a clean background, was right-minded, and had a wicked talent, making him a good prospect.
He had confidence in making David another pillar and sword of the country.
A member of Team A happened to be near South River Province, who Leeman could ask to go to River City to meet David. If what Henry said was true, he could let David become Team A’s backup member right away
A small town on the border of South River Province.
Jordan Chase was eating at a street stall.
As a member of National Special Task Force Team A. he had come to track down a wanted S-class criminal.
The person was a Tiger Rank peak master. He could not stand the temptations of the world, so he hid and made a name for himself using his strength as a Tiger Rank peak master.
However, all his enemies would die inexplicably as he grew in power, which gradually attracted the attention of the Special Task Force.
They started by sending two Team B members, but both members were wounded.
After confirming that the opponent was a Tiger Rank peak master, they passed it to Team A.
However, Jordan had not found any clue on the subject so far.
Once these people were exposed, they would go into hiding and would not appear again easily. After all, Special Task Force Team A was an organization that terrorized the whole martial artist society,
Once they were on to you, you could only go into hiding, or you would not even know how you died.
Of course, even if you were a hidden powerful martial artist, no one would trouble you as long as you knew your place and behaved yourself.
Team A members seldom gathered and had no fixed location. They were scattered across the country. Once there was a problem that Team B could not solve, the nearest Team A member would rush in to take over.
Therefore, to the other members of the task force, they were a group of extraordinarily strong and elusive psychos.
They would disguise themselves as many types of people-be it a successful businessman or an ordinary worker. It all depended on the individual.
Jordan was eating when the encrypted cell phone in his pocket rang.
He put down his spoon and fork, got up, walked out of the restaurant, and went to a secluded spot to answer the call.
“Jordan!” The voice of his team leader, Leeman, came through the phone.
“It’s me, Boss. What do you need?” Asked Jordan.
Chapter 177
“Where are you right now?” Asked Leeman.
“I’m on the border between South River Province and North River Province!”
“Go to River City and find Rupert Luther, a retired member of Team B.
He has referred a backup member for Team A. You need to check him
out!”
“A backup member for Team A? Do you have any specific information?” Jordan asked curiously.
“Rupert will tell you all about it. Get there as soon as you can.”
“Got it, Boss!”
After hanging up the phone, Jordan headed to River City.
Meanwhile, David was at school, listening to his lesson. He was sleepy.
He had skipped school for several days since he had immunity privileges from the chancellor and could take leave whenever he wanted.
However, he was a student at the end of the day, and he still had to come to school.
Even so, what he experienced after coming to school today discouraged him from coming here more often.
Everyone in his class was staring at him curiously.
David was now a bona fide celebrity on campus.
Leo knelt to apologize to him.
The most handsome guy in SRU and the president of the student council-Howard called him Mr. Lidell.
The news had been spread throughout the school.
He was now rumored to be the heir to an affluent family but had deliberately kept a low profile to experience life and find love.
After being abandoned by the ignorant woman Sarah Jensen, he exploded and exposed his identity.
It made everyone’s jaw drop.
Even the school dared not tell him what to do. He could come and go as he pleased. It was as if the school was his home.
The boys looked at him with envious eyes.
They wanted to be an heir to an affluent family like David, but reality slapped them in the face.
The girls looked at David with sparkles in their eyes.
“He’s so handsome, so carefree, so rich, and so charming.’ David drove his Bugatti Veyron to school today and wowed the whole school.
The entire school forum and all the class chat groups were in an uproar talking about how much David’s car was worth.
Finally, someone who knew cars reported the car’s worth.
A global limited edition of Bugatti Veyron with only eight units available.
The official sale price was 60 million dollars, and its current bidding price was more than 80 million dollars in the used-car market.
It blew the whole campus away.
To university students, an 80-million-dollar car was like a dream.
It was now right in front of them.
David’s appearance on the campus was a surefire way to get off screams from the girls around him.
Even when he sat in the classroom, not only did the girls in class stare at him, even the corridor outside was full of girls who wanted to catch a glimpse of David.
In less than a day, the school created a David fan base.
It gave David a headache.
He thus decided to come to school less in the future.
He did not know what to do with these enthusiastic female classmates.
He could not just fight them!
Oh! Being too handsome was also troublesome.
Chapter 178
David sat in the classroom under the students’ passionate gaze.
To be honest, he did not like it!
This was too much attention. He preferred to achieve things with a low profile!
Once he needed to expose himself, he would surprise the world.
This was consistent with his character.
He thought that now was not the time yet. He could only surprise the school but not the world. However, h e had been prematurely exposed and needed to think of a way to reduce his popularity.
At this moment, David’s phone rang.
David looked at the lecturer on the platform, but the instructor seemed not to notice as they continued their lecture.
The lecturer would have yelled at the top of their lungs at him if it were in the past.
David took out his phone and looked at the screen. It was a phone call from Charles.
With that, he got up and walked out the back door of the classroom with everyone watching him.
David answered the phone once he reached the stairway.
Instead of Charles’ voice, it was Old Master Rupert Luther’s
“Dave, are you free now? The person in charge of your test has arrived!”
David was shocked.
‘The person in charge of my test?
Special Task Force?
‘Or Falcon?
It was his first contact with the country’s law enforcement.
He wondered how strong they were.
“How are they compared to Paul?
‘I hope they don’t disappoint me too much.’
David had yet to meet anyone who posed a threat to him ever since he upgraded his Body and Mind to the maximum.
The best he had met was Paul and Mac, who was with Zachary.
David felt that these two together would not be able to defeat him if he went all out.
He did not know what he was capable of yet, but his strong mind power could sense those who would pose a threat to him.
There were people better than him, of course. However, David had not yet met them, so he did not know his differences they possessed.
He was looking forward to meeting the member of the Special Task Force and Falcon that Rupert had mentioned.
if they were stronger than him, at least he could identify their difference and figure out how to make up for it. They were not enemies, so he would be safe.
If he encountered an enemy stronger than him in the future, it would be too late to think about ways to make up for their differences.
“Old Master Luther, i’ll be right there!” said David.
“Okay, get here as soon as possible! Don’t keep them waiting. The person who came this time… isn’t what I expected,” Rupert said hesitantly
“They’re not what you expected?” David asked in confusion.
“You’ll find out when you get here!” Rupert would not say much over the phone.
“Okay. I’m on my way now!”
David was a little confused by Rupert’s remark, but he did not ask him any more questions. He would find out when he got there.
After hanging up the phone, David did not go back to class. Instead, he went downstairs, got into his Bugatti Veyron, stepped on the gas, and drove out of school.
All that was left was the engine roar that filled most of the campus.
David did not notice a figure in a lecture building not far from him staring blankly in the direction he had left.
Suddenly, a hand touched the figure’s shoulder.
“Sarah! Since you’ve made your choice, don’t look back. Someone as dazzling as him was never meant to be yours,” Sophie said as she walked over to Sarah.
Sophie was emotional.
She was the witness to David and Sarah’s relationship.
Chapter 179
They were poor during the years they were together, but it was full of joy and love.
She was unaware that David was a hidden super-rich heir. She thought she had a good eye, but she was wrong. Would a super-rich kid like David work part-time every holiday and weekend?
He had been doing it for years too!
No one would believe it.
Besides her, no one in the school could figure it out.
Rich heirs were complicated. He had a terrifying background but preferred to keep a low profile. He had been dating the one he loved for years but was still unwilling to expose his true identity, wanting to test her love.
She even wondered if David was some psycho. After his girlfriend’s change of heart, he quickly exposed his identity to make her regret it.
In her opinion, David really loved Sarah to the core back then. This could not be faked.
Otherwise, why would he send supper to her dorm under the heavy rain?
Sarah could only blame herself for failing the test.
Look at how things turned out. Leo was said to have offended some bigwig. His family was slapped back t o their original form overnight and had been sent to prison for financial crimes.
As the shareholder of the company, Leo could not escape punishment.
Sarah also became the school’s laughingstock. She abandoned the diamond and picked up a stone in the dump, which caused herself trouble in the end.
Besides that, Sarah had not said a word the last few days. She was afraid that something might happent o her, but she did not know how to comfort her.
It would be hard for anyone to accept such a thing.
She had to be with Sarah all the time, lest she did anything stupid.
Sarah looked into the distance with blank eyes, unresponsive to her best friend Sophie’s words.
The Luther family house.
Rupert was receiving a middle-aged man with a beard.
“Old Master Luther, show me the examinee’s information!” Jordan said to Rupert.
There should be some respect for a retired senior of the Special Task Force.
However, he was only a member of Team B and was weaker and inferior to himself,
Just a moment, Mr. Chase! I’ll get it. Charlie, stay with Mr. Chase!” “Yes, Grandpa!” Replied Charles.
He looked curiously at the unkempt middle-aged man in front of him. It was the first time he had seen his grandfather speak so respectfully to a younger man.
This man had to be somebody important! “Mr. Chase! What do you need? I’ll go prepare it!” Asked Charles. “Just get me anything to eat or drink to fill my stomach. I’m not that particular!” Replied Jordan.
“Yes, Mr. Chase!”
Rupert soon brought David’s profile over.
Jordan took it and read it carefully.
Meanwhile, Charles went to order the staff to prepare the food.
Rupert looked at Jordan. He referred David to be Team B’s freelancer, but a member of Team A came instead It was Team A!
It was a place he had always dreamed of getting into.
Everyone in it was insanely strong.
They could take out one Team B unit with just one man.
They were the nation’s true weapons of mass destruction.
If David could seize the opportunity this time, there was no limit to what he could achieve.
The Luther family closely related to him would also rise in status.
Jordan read David’s profile with some trepidation. He wanted to urgently meet the young man to see if he as the profile said.
Chapter 180
David drove to the Luther family house and walked straight into the living room.
After entering the living room, David saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting on the couch.
Rupert and Charles were enthusiastically chatting with him, but the man did not seem to be in the mood t o respond. He only occasionally answered them.
Rupert and Rupert were unperturbed by the men’s indifference and continued to speak enthusiastically.
David’s arrival immediately caught their attention.
“Dave!”
“David!”
Rupert and Charles greeted together.
David said nothing and looked at the middle-aged man.
Jordan looked at David too.
David’s mind power could feel the pressure Jordan put on him. He was strong!
He was stronger than anyone he had ever seen before!
“So, you’re David?” Jordan asked first.
“Yes!”
“I’m a member of National Special Task Force Team A, Jordan! I’m going to assess you! I hope you don’t let me down!” Jordan said with a straight face.
“Team A?” David asked in confusion.
Rupert chimed in, “Dave, I referred you to the leader of Team B, but he thought you were too talented to join Team B, so he referred you to Team A. Mr. Chase was sent by the leader of Team A to assess you. If you pass the test, you will be selected as a backup member of Team A.”
“Oh? What’s the difference between Team A and Team B?” Asked David.
“What’s the difference? I’ll tell you when you pass the test! If you don’t, there’s no need to know!”
“What’s the test? What do I need to do?”
“Old Master Luther, please give me an area to use!” Jordan said to Rupert.
“Please follow me, gentlemen!” Rupert said as he walked forward.
Jordan followed Rupert, David rushed forward to follow, while Charles came last.
Rupert led them to the backyard, which was empty, with a helicopter parked in the middle.
“Mr. Chase, how about here?” Asked Rupert.
“Good!”
With that said, Jordan walked into the vacant lot!
Then, he turned to David and said, “The test is simple. Attack me with all your might and prove to me that you are capable of joining Team A as a backup member.”
David took a few steps forward and faced Jordan. They were about 20 or 30 meters apart. “You can strike me any time you’re ready!” Jordan said casually as he stood across from David.
He did not seem to take David seriously.
In his opinion, David was not worth taking seriously.
He was only 21 years old. So what if he was already a Tiger Rank peak master?
There were many Tiger Rank peak masters he had defeated over the years.
They were all more experienced than David.
One of them was so heinous that the means he used shocked Jordan so much that Jordan shot the man himself.
In the face of absolute strength, all other means were futile.
David did not say anything and only stared at Jordan, his body tensing and his muscles contracting,
David pushed his physical strength to the limit. His mind power was also on edge.
Boom!
He suddenly unleashed his aura.
It created a wave of air around the body that spread in all directions.
Rupert and Charles immediately moved back more than ten meters.
Both of them were shocked to see the aura David released.
