Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 1023 - 1022: Carefree
"Boom!" That short and stout man in charge of commanding this operation slammed his head fiercely on the table, producing a resounding bang that startled several of his subordinates nearby. They dared not ask what happened to their temperamental boss, and quietly withdrew from the room without saying a word.
The shorty clearly saw the destruction of the last tank on the monitor. He watched as the man from the extraterrestrial planet lightly jumped into mid-air, then flipped his body upside down, hands stretched out straight ahead while holding a long sword, and charged straight down from the sky.
The shorty couldn’t help but sigh. The facts had already proven that this man from the extraterrestrial planet in front of him was indeed not a regular person, but someone who truly possessed superpowers.
A person with such abilities, not just in this small Delmar star system, but anywhere they had been, he had never seen such a powerhouse.
He deeply regretted it. He had rushed into action against the head of personnel without thoroughly understanding the situation. If he had initially retained the personnel head, perhaps things would have been different.
Actually, this was understandable because he was afraid that the personnel head, in order to preserve his life, would reveal to those two team members about the bribes he had received.
That’s why he had to order the sniper to take out the personnel head with one shot.
At the time, he indeed hadn’t regarded this man from the extraterrestrial planet as any sort of expert. Since they had killed many team members and damaged the personnel building, they should receive severe legal punishment.
As for why they killed Wings or why they destroyed the personnel building, these were not questions he wanted answered.
This righteous and dignified excuse gave him a sense of legitimacy in his actions. These three had disrupted the tranquility of the Delmar planet and undermined the dignity of its judiciary.
As the highest leader of the team, he had the authority to eliminate these foreign invaders trampling their laws. So when he commanded the team to attack those three, preparing to eliminate them, he felt justified, even later when he mobilized the tank fleet and fighter fleet from the Capital Guard District to participate in the battle, his confidence was still unwavering.
However, the outcome of the battle was now in front of him, and it hadn’t turned out as he imagined. Those three aliens were not wiped out by his subordinates.
On the contrary, those three aliens not only eliminated his subordinates, but also wiped out the tank fleet and fighter fleet he sent later.
At this time, Shorty finally realized that he was in a dire situation.
He acted recklessly without sufficient reason, mobilizing military force to attack three aliens, and this attack not only ruined the personnel building in the district but also some residences, causing civilian casualties.
The crucial point was, despite their losses, they didn’t achieve any combat results, which was inexplicable.
A large group of well-trained and fully armed team members, supported by tanks and fighter ships, in such an overwhelmingly advantageous situation, failed to defeat three enemies but were instead defeated by them completely, which seemed unbelievable.
Now, Shorty faced the same problem: how would he explain all of this to the highest leader of the Delmar planet?
How could he explain why those three suddenly attacked the personnel building and killed Lu inside? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
How could he justify mobilizing a grand force, even employing heavy weapons, just to eliminate those three unarmed aliens?
How could he explain why this action was such a miserable failure?
Now the shorty felt completely anxious as his subordinates came to report:
"Sir, the chief envoy has arrived. He is waiting for you in the living room."
Panzhi sighed, what must come eventually comes. Since there’s no avoiding it, he’d better go face this envoy.
Contrastly, in front of the now devastated personnel building, there was a scene of jubilance.
"Yay!" Ran and Ba Lvluo hugged each other, smiles spreading on their faces, dirt and dust covering their originally bright faces. But they didn’t care, as they held hands, leaning against each other, looking at the chaotic battlefield before them.
This was the first time they fought side by side, the first time they faced an enemy hundreds of times greater than themselves, and the first time they achieved victory under the attack of enemy heavy weapons.
They didn’t expect that as they were about to leave Delmar planet tomorrow or the day after, they would unexpectedly encounter such an event.
However, the damage would only affect Delmar planet, while they recovered the card stolen by Lun, came out unscathed from the battle, and instead gained precious experience against powerful enemies.
They turned to look at their teacher.
Jiang Cheng sensed their gaze and turned to look at them.
"Let’s go," Jiang Cheng said.
"Yay, finally back to the hotel and finally able to shower." Ran said. Honestly, young girls are a bit obsessive about cleanliness, and since last night her clothes had been stained with blood and dust, making her very uncomfortable.
Ba Lvluo, on the other hand, didn’t care as much. She was an assassin, willing to do whatever it takes, not minding if she didn’t bathe for long periods if necessary.
This was how an assassin had to be.
But even this young woman hoped to return to the hotel early, still thinking about the chef’s fine eggs.
"Going back to the hotel?" Jiang Cheng looked at Ran and Ba Lv and laughed. "Jin told you we’re going back to the hotel?"
Ran and Ba Lv looked at him puzzled: "So, we’re not going back to the hotel, but leaving Delmar planet directly?"
"No, no."
Jiang Cheng said: "What I mean is, we can’t just leave like this.
We need to turn around and actively look for them before they hit us."
Jiang Cheng’s eyes turned cold, and he spoke leisurely while gazing into the distance.
At the temporary command post of the operation, the chief envoy leisurely sat in the chair with a cup of tea. After a small sip, he slowly placed the cup down, turned with a half-smiling expression toward the shorty seated beside him. This chief envoy couldn’t stand the shorty, if only now he was the highest person in charge of the team.
