Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 487 - 459 Bu Mengting and Shen Mengyi are Captured

It was already around eight or nine in the evening, Lin Tian sighed inwardly and lay on the bed, exhausted.

Since arriving at Nidhogg, he hadn't had a moment of peace, fighting in several major battles. Fortunately, Lin Tian didn't suffer any losses and even obtained treasures like the Dragon Transformation Liquid. Today had been quite beneficial for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian closed his eyes, ready to get some good sleep to embrace tomorrow's mission with a fresh attitude.

But as soon as Lin Tian closed his eyes, he started thinking of Xiahou Qingyi and that piece of lingerie. He imagined Xiahou Qingyi being commanded by him, and the thought alone made him want to laugh.

That night, Lin Tian had several vivid dreams involving Xiahou Qingyi, occasionally letting out chuckles in his sleep. If anyone heard him, they might think Lin Tian was a madman.

The next morning at six o'clock, the wake-up bugle sounded; it was their morning training call, which had nothing to do with Lin Tian, so he continued to sleep.

At seven o'clock, it was time for breakfast, and that was when Lin Tian finally got up.

After breakfast, the Dragon Emperor pulled aside Li Chong, Lin Tian, and Xiahou Qingyi separately.

....

"Yes," said the three in unison.

The Dragon Emperor spoke again, "This time, there are over ten countries participating in the conference at the Golden Triangle, all represented by high government officials and crucial personnel. Their bodyguards are definitely Spiritual Warriors, so you must be careful. Consider everything carefully and don't be careless."

The three nodded together in agreement.

Then, the Dragon Emperor approached Xiahou Qingyi, giving her specific instructions, "You three are the elite that I have specially selected. You are a team, and as the team leader, you must have an overview, not only to complete the mission but also to ensure their safety."

The three were stunned by the Dragon Emperor's words. What was going on, Xiahou Qingyi was the team leader?

Xiahou Qingyi was the first to explain, "Captain, among the three of us, Lin Tian is the team leader."

"What... what?" the Dragon Emperor asked in disbelief, even leaning closer to Xiahou Qingyi as if he had heard wrong.

"Xiahou Qingyi said that I am the leader of our trio," Lin Tian interjected loudly on purpose.

The Dragon Emperor's face turned green instantly. He asked Xiahou Qingyi, "What's going on with you three? Didn't I tell you yesterday that you should decide among yourselves who the team leader would be?"

The Dragon Emperor knew Xiahou Qingyi's strength and capabilities. His intention was clearly for Xiahou Qingyi to be the team leader. This should have been a normal occurrence, but Lin Tian's presence made it abnormal.

Xiahou Qingyi stumbled over her words and kept silent for a while. Lin Tian took over, saying, "Yeah, we chose our own team leader. They both chose me, and I chose Sister Qingyi. Two against one, I won, right?"

Lin Tian deliberately bumped Li Chong's arm with his own.

"Oh, right, that's what happened," Li Chong quickly added.

The Dragon Emperor hastily looked at Xiahou Qingyi, his eyes filled with confusion as if asking, 'Is that really so?'

With no choice and Lin Tian holding leverage over her, Xiahou Qingyi reluctantly nodded and said, "That's how it is."

Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction, thinking, 'The female devil knows the ropes quite well, much more than the Dragon Emperor.'

This mission was critical. Xiahou Qingyi was a capable subordinate of the Dragon Emperor, and he felt relieved with her as the team leader. However, he didn't know how it happened, but his words weren't strict enough yesterday, giving Lin Tian a loophole to exploit. Unwittingly, the team leader position had become Lin Tian's.

The Dragon Emperor now regretted not being more definitive and directly appointing Xiahou Qingyi as the team leader.

Lin Tian was favored by the old chief, who had high hopes for him. Although the Dragon Emperor respected and trusted the old chief, he had always had reservations about Lin Tian. He hadn't discovered any of Lin Tian's strengths, but had identified a myriad of weaknesses.

He firmly believed that the team leader position must be Xiahou Qingyi's, or else he wouldn't be at ease. That was the Dragon Emperor's most genuine thought.

With a thick face and reluctant demeanor, the Dragon Emperor approached Lin Tian and said, "Lin Tian, you are new here, and Xiahou Qingyi is my accomplished subordinate. In past missions, it has always been Xiahou Qingyi who led the team, and every time, she has led the team to outstanding achievements."

The Dragon Emperor was brief, knowing that as long as someone wasn't foolish, they would understand the hidden meanings in his words.

Lin Tian understood as well. He glared at the Dragon Emperor, cursing him inwardly a hundred and eighty times. After all the trouble he had gone to subdue Xiahou Qingyi, now this man came to snatch away his team leader position? Absolutely not, he could not allow it!

Feigning ignorance, he said, "Captain, rest assured, I promise you, this time, I will complete the task you assign me as successfully as Xiahou Qingyi did."

The Dragon Emperor thought Lin Tian really hadn't understood the implication of his words, so he elaborated further, "Lin Tian, whether it's in terms of strength or experience, Xiahou Qingyi is superior to you. This mission is very important. I hope you won't mind the personal gains and losses. Actually, it doesn't really matter who the team leader is. You are a team, and the team leader's burden is heavy, with even greater responsibilities."

Lin Tian still played dumb, stood at attention, saluted, and said seriously, "Captain, rest assured, I will put in a hundred times the effort to be a good team leader. Xiahou Qingyi has more experience and stronger abilities. I will definitely consider her opinions."

This time, the Dragon Emperor finally understood. Lin Tian wasn't failing to understand; he was clearly feigning ignorance, determined to cling to the team leader position.

The Dragon Emperor said directly, "Lin Tian, I think Xiahou Qingyi is more suitable to be the team leader than you."

Lin Tian replied, "Captain, my view is exactly opposite to yours. The burden of the team leader is heavy, and the dangers are great. Xiahou Qingyi is the only woman in Nidhogg. We, so many grown men, should not let a woman take such risks. Thus, for the safety of Xiahou Qingyi, I believe that I am more suitable to be the team leader."

"Nowadays, men and women are equal. I might be a woman, but I am not worse than you men," Xiahou Qingyi said fiercely.

"Exactly," the Dragon Emperor concurred.

Lin Tian also made his stance clear, saying, "People say, 'In the military, there are no jokes; changing orders from morning to evening is a big taboo.' Captain, just yesterday you said we should choose our own team leader, and now we have already chosen one—it's me. Yet today, you want to replace me. Captain, you are suppressing me and this is a big taboo."

Lin Tian was right. The Dragon Emperor knew that his desire to replace Lin Tian was a mistake, but he just felt that Lin Tian was unreliable and didn't trust him.

In the end, the Dragon Emperor had no choice but to let Lin Tian continue as the team leader, otherwise, it could lead to criticism.

The Dragon Emperor coughed awkwardly and then sat at his desk, pulling out a document from the drawer.

The Dragon Emperor said, "Based on our various sources, we found out that the conference in the Golden Triangle will be held tomorrow morning, in a secluded small town. This is the list of heads of state attending the meeting. You need to thoroughly understand their details for any emergencies."

The three nodded, each picking up a document. The first page of each document had a picture, followed by detailed introductions including position, age, preferences, whether they knew martial arts, and the number of bodyguards they had, among other things—it was all very detailed.

The Dragon Emperor continued, "It's eight in the morning now. You will leave at twelve noon. Remember, before leaving, change your clothes. The Nidhogg uniforms are too conspicuous and easily recognizable."

The three nodded and left.

The information the Dragon Emperor had given them was vital but contained many words; they couldn't memorize it all, but they had to familiarize themselves with it.

The trio was busy memorizing the information when suddenly, Lin Tian's phone rang.

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition washing over him.

This phone number was a new one for Lin Tian, known only to Bu Mengting, Shen Mengyi, Jiang Hui, and Wang Ying. Before coming to Nidhogg, he had told these four that unless it was an emergency, they should not call him. The ringing of the phone now meant that an urgent matter had occurred.

Lin Tian quickly answered the call, "Hello, what happened?"

Jiang Hui frantically said inside, "Big brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault, my fault...!"

As he spoke, Jiang Hui kept slapping his own mouth.

Lin Tian, anxious, stood up and yelled, "Quickly tell me, what happened?"

Jiang Hui explained, "Today, Wang Ying and I were taking sister-in-law and President Shen to the company. Then we saw some people causing trouble at the entrance. Wang Ying and I went to check it out. By the time we returned, both the sister-in-law and President Shen had disappeared. On President Shen's desk, we found a note saying that they had been taken. We've fallen for the enemy's diversion tactic!"

"What?" Lin Tian exclaimed, his worst fear concerning Bu Mengting and Shen Mengyi coming true. Before leaving, he had specifically told Jiang Hui and Wang Ying and arranged many bodyguards to protect the two women, but still, something had happened.

Lin Tian urgently asked, "What does the note say?"

Jiang Hui said, "Be at the back mountain before ten in the morning. If I don't see you by ten o'clock, both of them will have to die. Zhang Ya."
