“Bos, I'm ashamed to call you! I failed to complete the last mission you gave me!” exclaim Rupert.
“Omong empty! The mission failed because something was wrong with our information. It wasn't your fault, and you paid a fortune for it. After all, the organization has been wrong on you.”
"Boss, it's been years. Stop mentioning it again. I'm calling to recommend to you someone who wants to apply for a freelance position.”
“Who is it?”
“A Peak Tiger Rank master in his 20s!”
“What? Are you sure? What about this background? Which wealthy family did he come from? Or is he the successor of some hidden land?"
"He's not a rich heir! He has a clean background, but he must have a Master. I don't know who the Master is yet. I'll send you the details later."
“OK! I trust you because you recommended him! When did you come to the capital? We haven't seen each other in years! We'll die if we don't get together sooner.”
"Boss, I'll drop by if I get a chance!”
"Alright, I'll wait for you!”
Rupert hung up and called again. This man was also an old man. However, he was not from the Special Task Force but the Falcon. Rupert got a spot for the Falcon exam 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 injured while trying to save the man. At this moment, this man was extremely influential within the Falcon. He had now used two of his most important aids so that the Luther family could have David as a backup. The Special Task Force owes him a favor. The Falcon official owed him too.
Both of these favors were originally kept for the descendants of the Luther family. If a member of the Luther family could use it, even if they could not help the Luther family progress, they would at least be able to help the Luther family maintain their current glory for a few more years.
However, for the past thirty years, the second generation of the Luther family had all been mediocre. Eventually, they had Charles among the third generation. He's smart but not strong enough. Charles wanted to be a pillar of the Luther family. He needs experience, but his time is running out.
His health had deteriorated lately, and his injuries had begun to escalate. Rupert had a hunch that this might be his last chance. The time is up. Therefore, he was eager to find someone who received his two favors in exchange for the stability of the Luther family.
David was the most suitable candidate he found. He was very young, very strong, and had a mysterious master behind him. Most importantly, he was kind and knowingly grateful to the person who was kind to him. Rupert wouldn't have gone this far if David was just being strong, or he would have caused trouble for himself.
He could predict that the Luther family would be a cake that the surrounding forces tried to swallow after he died. Only David could help the Luther family drive them out. In the next decade, Charles should have been able to handle it himself, and the Luther family would eventually stabilize.
Rupert had set everything in his power for the Luther family before, but it was up to the Gods to see if they could continue to maintain their glory or even further.
Capitals
Inside an ancient building. An old man was sitting in the courtyard, looking through the documents Rupert had just sent. It was quite thick, about seven or eight pages. It retells everything about David in the last 21 years.
The old man read it very slowly. Two charismatic middle-aged men stood behind the old man. The man looked old, at least not too different from Rupert. But, he was unlike Rupert, whose face was full of wrinkles and looked weak as if he was dying. Instead, this man seemed healthy, vibrant, and energetic, as if he could live for another twenty or thirty years.
This old man is Henry Thompson, leader of the National Team of Special Task Force B. He had been the leader of Team B for over thirty years but was still strong.
It's not that he's greedy for power and doesn't give young people a chance. He had applied for retirement several times but was never approved because Team B had yet to find anyone who could intimidate the entire team, seeing the big picture, and plan everything accordingly to replace him so far. Serving as an important department of the state to maintain order between local martial artists, Team B has a tough task and needs someone with the strength and vision to take responsibility.
After more than ten minutes, the old man finished reading. He easily handed the document to the two middle-aged men behind him. After this, he looked like a trance.
Henry was not calm. If the information Rupert gave him was correct, the young man named David was someone frightening. The word “jenius” can hardly describe its brilliance.
Will Rupert lie to her?
It's almost impossible.
Usually not possible. One could become rich instantly but not become a master at Tiger Rank. Therefore, as Rupert analyzed in the end the boy had a master who 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 nature of the child, judged from his actions ever since he was exposed. He did not become crooked and vengeful due to his miserable childhood. He's still straight-minded. He would retaliate against bullies, but he still had the bottom line. He will also repay the kindness of those who have helped him. Therefore, it seemed that his master was not a vile person.
Perhaps his master had reason to let him endure the pain so far. The country welcomes strong and right-thinking talent with a clean background.
With David secretly becoming a Peak Tiger Rank master at the age of 21, letting him join Team B didn't seem worthy of his talent. If such talent were to join Team B, it would only make him lazy.
He would become the top member in Team B and would gradually lose his motivation as the team members who were decades old were not as strong as him. At the age of 21, he was at his peak.
Only by letting him join Team A to meet people stronger than himself and awaken his competitiveness can he make sustained progress. He is a good talent that needs to be developed. He might even become a weapon of the country in the future.
There was a reason why Henry could be the leader of Team B for over thirty years. After learning that David is a good talent, it immediately occurred to him not to join Team B but to put David's growth first and the country's interests first.
His overall strong view is impressive. The two middle-aged men standing behind Henry also finished reading the document.
"Master, if the information is correct, 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 did you two put him?”
"Such elites must have been in my first unit. I'm sure I can train it well!”
“What do you mean to be in your first unit? Are you able to train it well, whereas I am not? He must join my second unit. You already have more members than me!”
"You're second. I was the first. Come on who he chooses when the time comes!”
"It's not about who he chooses. Your first unit already has one more person than us. You have to give it to us!”
The two men began to argue about David. One was the head of the first Unit B Team Special Task Force, and the other was the leader of the second unit. Team B Special Task Force totaled four units. The other two teams are on their missions outside.
“Are you two assholes trying to piss me off? I still can't retire because the two of you are always planning your own benefits. All my old friends enjoy tea and fishing every day? I'm the only one who should listen to you guys fight every day.” scolds Henry on both of them.
"Sir, you are young! You can do this for a few more decades!”
"Yes yes! We can't replace you!”
"Tell me! David was already a Peak Tiger Rank master. What progress can you expect from him if he joins you?” ask Henry.
“Yah. David may be a Peak Tiger Rank master, but he is only 21 years old and a student. He will not have much practical experience! We can give him that, can't we, York?”
“Yes! We can give him practical experience!” answer York.
They have now agreed to get David in first before discussing which team he should head to. They can hear from the tone of their team leader that he probably won't recruit David into their team.
"Fuck up! Can't you two grow up? I told you to look at the big picture. What's the big picture? For Special Task Force, the big picture is domestic stability. I've decided to refer David Lidell to Team A as a backup member!”
"I know it! They both breathe each other. After reading the document, they knew that David was too good for them to keep. There was no way they could sustain a 21-year-old Peak Tiger Rank master.
This is their full capability. At most, they only had more practical experience than David. They couldn't teach David or help him move forward. David can only progress by joining Team A and being encouraged by the psychopaths.
