The Federation had always prevented the elite families from acquiring any forms of military power. If a person from an elite family was to enter the Federation, other than receiving many military merits, they would not be able to get into the central command chain of the Federation. No matter how high one person’s military rank was, they would be only given deputy rank positions or positions without any real military power. For a position of power such as a commander of a base, elite families could never be able to sit in this position, the highest they could go up the command chain was just being high ranked staff officer.

After Li s.h.i.+yu exposed Du Mingyi’s secret, all the officers in the command center looked towards Du Mingyi with an utterly shocked expressions on their faces. Although the tension between the elite families and the military was not brought out into the open, those who joined the military for a long time, or actively partic.i.p.ated in the game called politics could easily discover the hidden tension between the two parties.

The surrounding officers thought about it and knew what the Du family had planned to infiltrate the military’s central command chain. The Du family would send their direct descendants to random commoners families as their foster child, making it seem like they had cut off ties with the child, but in actuality, these foster children had people from the Du family teaching and nurturing them from when they arrived to the commoners’ house. This way, when these descendants grow up, they would still be completely loyal to the Du family.

However, the price of doing this was that these descendants would have a slow start at the beginning. They must enter the military as a standard soldier, not like those who were publicly recognized as a descendant from an elite family, who would start as a junior officer after entering the military. When advancing to senior colonel, those from the elite families would only need 10 years, but those foster children who used the standard path would need 20 or even 30 years to get to that position. These results were already pretty good, considering their families were still quietly helping them in the dark. Du Mingyi was one of those foster children. He used almost three times the amount of time to climb up compared to a normal descendant from the Du family. He used 28 years to advance into a senior colonel, before finally becoming a commander of a base with actual military power.

They used time to trade for power. Perhaps, even the Du family didn’t know whether it was worth it or not.

Du Mingyi was angry and surprised. Once this information got out, the Federation’s military would definitely not let him take any important positions in the future, even if his military rank was to stay the same because of his merits, it would still be impossible for him to acquire real military power anymore. ‘If that was the case, then won’t his sacrifice of 28 years be all for naught?’ After thinking about this, Du Mingyi’s expression was filled with dreadful malice. He must get rid of all these people who knew about his secret. He now had the chance, since they had sent people to surround the command center, it gave him a perfect reason for him to kill all of them and no one would be able to question it. It was normal for them to die for a mutiny, right?

He suddenly waved his fist, and a silhouette from a dark corner pounced towards Li s.h.i.+yu.

“Bang!”

Li s.h.i.+yu met the attack with his fist without hesitation. The two fists smashed into each other, creating a m.u.f.fled sound.

Everyone in the command center was sent flying from the Qi-Jin the two of them had sent out. They were smashed into the walls before falling to the ground with a thud. The physical skills of these officers were quite average. When faced with the shockwaves from a battle between two strong individuals, they couldn’t defend themselves, resulting in all of them becoming injured.

Li s.h.i.+yu saw Du Mingyi, who stood on the side with a flaring killing intent. Li s.h.i.+yu understood that Du Mingyi was not going to let even his own soldier leave this place alive. Li s.h.i.+yu’s expression became sharp, and a terrifying force of presence suddenly enveloped around them, twisting and turning the s.p.a.ce around them.

“Domain!” Du Mingyi and the senior captain were stunned. They didn’t think that this unknown Li s.h.i.+yu was actually a domain realm master. It should be known that if someone was found out to be a domain realm master, their military rank would be senior colonel and not a little major rank.

Du Mingyi began to frown. He felt afraid. ‘What kind of clan is 250 Ace Mecha Clan? Why would an insignificant military doctor have such a strong capabilities?’ It should be known that military doctors were considered to be logisticians with the weakest physical skills. The most remarkable military doctors were considered to be the best of the best if their physical skills was at the refinement stage, not Qi-Jin or even the domain stage… If someone had such amazing talent in physical skills, who would be willing to let them learn military medicine? Wouldn’t that just be a waste of talent?

Of course, only Du Mingyi’s group was dumbfounded. Those from 250 Ace Mecha Clan who surrounded the command station all knew that this person was not Doctor Li. Instead, he was one of the 10 mecha captains, Li Lanfeng. It was just that they also didn’t know that their Captain Li had actually reached the domain stage…

This made them think of their cold and stern regiment commander. It should be known that only their regiment commander’s aura could rein in Captain Li. ‘Doesn’t that mean their regiment commander is also a domain realm master? It also meant that he wasn’t just a standard domain realm master, but a t.i.tled domain realm master!’ After thinking about this point, everyone became excited. Nothing was more exciting than knowing that their own regiment commander was a really powerful individual.

At that moment, the twisted s.p.a.ce around Li Lanfeng suddenly cracked into countless black tentacles. Those black tentacles quickly flew towards those soldiers and wrapped around their bodies. Then, the tentacles whipped towards the door, tossing them out of the main entrance, then they were caught by those from 250 Ace Mecha Clan outside.

When Du Mingyi discovered Li Lanfeng’s intentions, he wanted to stop him. However, Li Lanfeng shot a cold glare towards Du Mingyi which actually shook him, making him freeze in his place.

In an instant, Li Lanfeng successfully cleared out all those who stood in his way.

Li Lanfeng raised his right hand and a black scythe began to take shape in his hand. The senior captain and Du Mingyi had cautious expression on their faces when they sensed the ominous aura around it and began to stay alert.

Right at that moment, Li Lanfeng suddenly gave out an order, “All members, move back 30 meters.”

This was the estimate Li Lanfeng had calculated for shockwave distance that would be created from fighting with his opponents. He was afraid that during the battle, he would hurt his own team if he couldn’t control the situation. If that happened, it would be difficult for him to explain to Ling Lan.

Hearing this, those from 250 Ace Mecha Clan quickly moved back. At the same time, they didn’t forget to take those officers who were tossed out by Captain Li with them.

After seeing he had nothing to worry about, he turned towards the senior captain with cold expression on his face and said, “You’re probably the protector the Du family had sent to be beside Du Mingyi.” The Du family would not allow Du Mingyi to have any accidents after spending so much effort on him.

“You’re quite knowledgeable about the internal workings of the elite families. I think I know who you are.” The senior captain seemed confident in his words.

Li Lanfeng raised an eyebrow and waited for his answer.

“A surname Li means that you’re from that super elite family, the Li family. I didn’t think the Li family would actually be willing to let you out from the 4th Division and let you go to the 23rd Division instead. It looks like they had made some arrangements with Ling Xiao…” The senior captain could only think of this reason. This Li s.h.i.+yu was probably a super genius that the Li family had nurtured. This was the only way for such a military doctor to have such strong physical skills.

Hearing this, Li Lanfeng place his finger in front of him and shook it side to side, “No, no, no. You are completely wrong. Me going to the 23rd Division has nothing to do with General Ling Xiao. I can only say that I was convinced by my regiment commander’s personality and charm, and thus I decided to serve him in any way I can.”

Well that was his reason. As for Li s.h.i.+yu, who was lied to, and for Li Yingjie, who he didn’t know the reason why he followed them, he wasn’t sure if they felt the same way.

“As someone from an elite family and knowing that it’s difficult for us to be in the military, why don’t we work together, instead of you exposing us?” The senior captain said in an angry tone of voice.

“Elite family? What does that have to do with me? As for not exposing you, no can do, my friend. It’s because you angered someone you shouldn’t have.” Li Lanfeng’s expression was cold. He seemed like a warm and kind person who got allow with people, but in reality, he was a cold and calculative person who would use or sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals. Ling Lan was the only person he didn’t dare to use his dirty schemes on. He knew well that it was his weakness, but he just let himself be selfish for once. He must acquire more from him… more… more…

What does he want? Li Lanfeng still didn’t know currently. He only knew that he was like a glutton. He wanted everything Ling Lan could give him without giving any of it to others.

It was because of that that Li Lanfeng was not willing to give Du Mingyi, who offended Ling Lan greatly, any way of getting out of the situation. He forced his opponent to have no choice but to fight for his life. From the very beginning, Li Lanfeng didn’t even have the slightest thought of giving Du Mingyi a chance to live.

This was Li Lanfeng; Evil, ruthless and merciless!
