Chapter 346: Should I Fulfill It?
Fifty ancient artifacts from the Celestial Dragon Continent, each one a treasure; otherwise, Zhuoda Village wouldn't have attracted so many elites from Sakula Country...
The Celestial Dragon Continent has suffered significant setbacks, yet these events have brought change, transforming our land completely, but at the cost of almost losing our essential cultural heritage!
This is the saddest thing!
Back to the point, now that these treasures have returned to the Celestial Dragon Continent, how can we just watch them be taken away again?
Carefully placed the cauldron into the backpack behind him.
Throughout this process, Lin Tian was as cautious as possible; after all, these were invaluable treasures!
Even if one corner gets damaged, selling him wouldn't cover the loss!
"I always feel like I'm not here to steal treasures, but to scare myself!" Lin Tian said into his earpiece, half-serious, half-joking.
The current atmosphere was really oppressive, unbearable for someone with his lively nature.
"Feng, do you think if I took these ancient artifacts and ran, I could live carefree forever?"
"What I'd say..." Ye Feng's voice came with a hint of laughter: "If you really ran off with them, you'd be executed before you even left the country!"
"The Security Management Institute folks have an eye on you, there's no way they'd let you do that!"
"Tsk tsk, at a time like this, you can still joke around. I don't know if you're fearless or overconfident."
"Hurry up, if tonight's operation goes south, we're all in big trouble!"
"You've got a military pledge, if you fail, how will you face Mr. Chen!"
"Heh heh..." Lin Tian chuckled slyly, shamelessly: "Don't doubt my capability!"
Actually, his joking with Chen Moxiang had a deeper purpose, to ease Ye Feng's nerves.
Lin Tian himself certainly wasn't nervous, feeling quite relaxed.
But Lin Tian knew very well, while he could remain calm, Ye Feng couldn't!
Ye Feng was the commander, the key figure of this operation!
Nobody understood the pressure in Ye Feng's heart better than Lin Tian.
Thus, in an extremely secure area, he kept teasing Ye Feng about Chen Moxiang to keep him entertained, and to ensure he didn't get bored and lose focus, managing to stay more alert.
The most frightening thing in this world is never the enemy, but oneself!
Lin Tian feared that his own laxity could cause some accident in the operation, so he needed to stay sharp!
Even though he said he was relaxing, Lin Tian's body remained tense, ready for a perfect outburst.
This tension would allow him to quickly deal with anyone who appeared!
This was also due to his body being strengthened through prolonged training, enabling him to maintain this state for long periods, which ordinary people couldn't do, not even those special forces soldiers!
The training from the Tyrant Emperor's Record had brought his body to a powerful state, his strength astonishing!
"Really? Indestructible golden spear? Little tyrant?" Clearly, Lin Tian's effort hadn't gone to waste, as Ye Feng's tone turned a lot lighter: "But, it seems like you're still a fledgling?"
"Uh..."
Lin Tian could no longer laugh!
"It's just that I haven't met someone who moves my heart!" Lin Tian tried to argue, his face slightly red!
What's wrong with being a fledgling? It means I'm upright and a good man, okay?!
Moreover, being a little tyrant doesn't necessarily mean I have to wander through a sea of flowers, does it?!
Truly shameless and unscrupulous, how can one be so... unapologetically uncover another's secrets! Bastard!
"When we get back, I'll show you what a little tyrant is, I have an agreement with Mr. Chen..." Oops, slipped up!
"Huh? An agreement? Oh dear..." Ye Feng, as if discovering a new world: "An illicit affair, spill the beans!"
Ye Feng was intrigued, even during the mission, his gossip soul couldn't help but surface!
"Can't say... I'll get beat up!" Lin Tian dared not say more; such matters are better known by fewer people: "Just know, if the mission succeeds, I can make her obedient, whatever I want!"
"Anything I want..."
"Lin Tian! You jerk, what are you saying!"
Just as Lin Tian and Ye Feng were enjoying their banter, Chen Moxiang's angry voice rang out.
"..." Ye Feng's voice stopped abruptly, falling silent.
"Ah? I'm working, Mr. Chen, what's up?" Lin Tian wouldn't dare answer, having just slipped up, confirming would be troublesome!
Chen Moxiang was infuriated, this guy truly had no filter, dared to say anything!
Didn't he know that it wasn't just Ye Feng who could hear him?
To prevent Lin Tian from continuing, Chen Moxiang had to speak up soon!
Though usually cold as ice, at that moment, Chen Moxiang couldn't help but blush.
How big of a heart must she have to make such an agreement with this guy?
Now it's out, and everyone knows!
"Doesn't this guy know what the current situation is!"
Chen Moxiang was almost mad at Lin Tian, his shamelessness making her want to disappear!
The goddess of the Security Management Institute, usually aloof like a snow lotus, had her image lowered considerably by Lin Tian's words!
"I'll give him a good lesson when he gets back!"
Chen Moxiang seethed, knowing today's incident would soon spread like wildfire in the Security Management Institute.
Thinking of this gave her a headache, her reputation built over years seemed to be ruined in one day!
Once something changes, it really changes.
"Is it really because of me that this guy insisted on carrying out this mission?"
A woman's mind is always deep, while you're stuck on the previous issue, she's already moved to the next.
Chen Moxiang felt something strange, a sweet sensation filling her heart.
The thought that Lin Tian would brave the dragon's den for their agreement made her feel inexplicably happy, as if her heart was spread with honey.
The earlier determination to harshly punish Lin Tian vanished completely!
"Should I keep our agreement if the mission really succeeds?"
This question left Chen Moxiang in knots...
