Chapter 577 Im the One Youre Up Against

The man was in the midst of an enthusiastic rant when suddenly he heard himself being interrupted. He hadnt even made out what was said before he turned around, cursing as he looked back: What the h.e.l.l are you b.u.t.ting in for ah

As his gaze met that of the person standing at the door, his tongue seemed to tie itself into knots.

The atmosphere in the office instantly grew incredibly tense, and many looked at him with pity.

He was completely stunned, internally roaring: Why! Why did he have to come back right now!

The person who had arrived was none other than Ling Mo, whom they thought wouldnt be coming.

But Ling Mo merely glanced at the man before turning his attention to Lucy, speaking in a casual tone: Sorry Im late, the training has been a bit of a ha.s.sle lately.

Its fine, we only just started a moment ago, Lucy said.

Her expression hadnt changed much from before, but suddenly, her heart was racing with excitement and a sense of being wronged.

She had been surrounded and criticized, pointed at and mocked, and none of that got to her like this moment did.

Why is that Lucy wondered.

She took a deep breath, finally managing to steady her emotions.

By the way hows the training going? Lucy asked again.

Ling Mo chuckled: Not bad at all, theyre making quick progress. I think theyll be ready for real combat soon.

Good to hear, Lucy nodded in response.

Upon hearing this exchange, everyone present cursed in their minds: d.a.m.n?!

So Ling Mo was supposed to be here today? And Lucy hadnt told a soul about it?

They were doomed! Now they had said things they shouldnt have spoken aloud!

The few who hadnt said much were now secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

This is what you get for not keeping your cool. Now youre in trouble, arent you? Everyone knows you dont mess with Ling Mo, not even behind his back.

The man who had stood out just moments ago was now sweating bullets. He didnt know how much Ling Mo had heard, nor did he know how Ling Mo would deal with him.

Thinking of Ling Mos methods and strength, his legs began to feel weak.

Especially as Ling Mo walked step by step toward him, he felt like he was about to collapse.

Click

When Ling Mo stopped in front of him, the mans heartbeat skipped a beat, cold sweat broke out over his entire body, and he began to tremble.

However, he quickly forced himself to calm down. Ling Mo was indeed strong, but after all, he was just the figurehead regimental commander of Team F. He was one of the elders of Team F, and since Ling Mo needed the team, he had to show him some respect.

In other words, it was just an argument, and Ling Mo wouldnt do anything to him

With this thought, the man gathered a sliver of courage.

What were you about to ask me? Ling Mo asked.

I was I asked whether what the regimental commander has been doing lately is the man swallowed hard, struggling to speak.

It wasnt that line I heard when I came in, what were you saying? Ling Mo asked flatly.

d.a.m.n, just like that my question was ignored!

The mans scalp tingled, and then, bracing himself, he said, Actually, its because the chairman and the regimental commander are quite close friends, so I thought it would be better communication between you two

As he spoke, he carefully watched for any changes in Ling Mos expression.

Thankfully, Ling Mo still appeared quite calm

When he had earlier mocked Lucy, his words had been particularly vicious, but now as he recounted them, he completely changed his tone.

Lucy was not likely to tattle, and besides, this wasnt exactly lying

But as for the insult he had just hurled just thinking about it made him somewhat anxious.

However, as long as he apologized, that should be the end of it, right? Ling Mo surely wouldnt create a rift with a member of Team F over this

We were just talking about this, but Im a straightforward person, so I might have been a bit harsh, for which I need to apologize to the chairman The man tried to put on a sincere face and chuckled.

A bit harsh? Haha

Before he could finish, Ling Mo calmly interrupted him, What you call harsh is actually being rude!

With those sharp words, Ling Mos foot had already kicked out.

The man was also a psychic, but he was so taken aback that he couldnt dodge, and with his legs already weak, he was kicked to the ground, immediately crying out in pain.

He hit without warning? Not even offering a shred of dignity?

Everyone present was stunned, and the man who was kicked to the ground was dumbfounded.

As he hit the ground, his recently inflated ego shattered along with it.

To be honest, although they had heard a lot about Ling Mos deeds, and some had even recently heard about the selection of the Miracle Team, there was still a part of them that believed if they faced Ling Mo, they might not lose too terribly.

But now, lying at Ling Mos feet, the man finally realized that his greatest sorrow was his own overconfidence.

You wont die if you dont seek death!

The strength isnt on the same level at all, and this person he has no hesitation. If I resist, he might even kill me, right?

The mans heart raced, not wanting to die.

Lucy is a woman, and also your chairman, and you insult her like this? Ling Mo kicked again fiercely, asking in a chilling tone.

Ah! Im sorry Im sorry The man screamed, stuttering as he begged for mercy.

This display of spinelessness immediately drew looks of contempt from some, but no one said a word.

Put themselves in his shoes, and they might not be able to withstand it either.

When a person is obsessed 24/7 with surviving by any means necessary, the word alive can sometimes become a heavy shackle, making them involuntarily discard certain things.

Dignity, trust, and even their own body

Im sorry Im sorry The man struggled on the ground trying to get up, apologizing repeatedly.

Ling Mo Lucy still had a soft heart. Seeing how weak the man had become, and then remembering how arrogant hed been earlier, she couldnt help but feel sad for him

But before she could voice her concern, she heard Ling Mo arrogantly reprimand, Shes my woman, who are you to lecture her?

Pfft!

Those around, who had been completely intimidated by Ling Mos ferocity, almost choked on their own spit when they heard this.

So he admitted it!

And in such a brazen manner at that!

That was real power play, the subtext being, This is how it is, what are you going to do about it?!

Lucy, meanwhile, was stunned. For a few seconds, her mind echoed with Ling Mos words: Shes my woman

Im his woman? Lucy thought in a daze.

Anyone else want to give lessons? Ling Mos gaze swept over the crowd.

The group swiftly averted their eyes, indicating they had no objections.

The man on the ground clenched his teeth in frustration. Werent they all shouting along just a moment ago? Now they were acting like cowards, leaving him to take all the blame

Since you have no objections now, you better keep your mouths shut in the future as well.

Ling Mo walked over to the table, leaned his hands on the edge, and stared at the group with his deep eyes: Now, lets discuss another matter. I believe Ive mentioned that your current abilities are not enough to satisfy me, so Im training my own team, its as simple as that. As for poaching haha, those people, did you ever really care about them?

His words left everyone speechless.

Thats right, Ye Kai, the troublemaker, despite having decent strength, was seen as nothing more than a nuisance in their eyes

And about the other three aside from Gu Shuangshuang, who they remembered somewhat because she was a girl, the other two embarra.s.singly, they hadnt even managed to remember what these two looked like, and they were hearing their names for the first time.

Team F was only so large, and for someone to be ignored to such an extent, they had to be minor characters of no significance.

If it werent for Ling Mo choosing them, would anyone here have even noticed them?

But what everyone was really wondering was why such a weak group seemed so strong under Ling Mo?

They had all heard rumors that members had been trying to get in touch with them lately, even under the guise of seeking advice to gauge their strength, and yet they all got beaten and sent back.

Truly bizarre!
