Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since it was related to the mission and Tang Ling reacted so sensitively, the whole Fierce Dragon Squad started to pay attention.

The senior was reluctant at first, but when he saw everyone’s gaze on him, he clenched his fists and said, “Here’s the thing. We went around and asked about the mission on Friday because there are already very few missions that the First Reserved Camp can participate in. However, after asking around, we decided to give up because…”

Before the senior could finish, hurried footsteps sounded from the bigger cave outside, which was the activity hall for the New Moon Warriors.

When the senior heard the footsteps, he looked a little frightened, but despite his fear, he managed to finish what he was saying quickly, “Because Hank announced that in this upcoming group mission, he and his Summit Squad are going to…”

The senior paused for a moment. He took a deep breath and continued, “…take over everything.”

Take everything? Tang Ling frowned when he heard what the senior said. He already had an image in his mind about the so-called ‘takeover’ by Hank.

Like what the senior said, in order to protect the First Reserved Camp, unless the situation was relatively safe, the First Reserved Camp was not given the chance to join group missions.

However, group missions usually had the most scrumptious reward, so it was not that difficult to understand why everyone wanted to participate in one.

The so-called ‘takeover’ did not mean that Hank and his squad would get exclusivity to the group mission. It was the mission distributed by the Hope Barrier after all, and it was the part that was given to the First Reserved Camp. Hank meant that he would not allow the others in the First Reserved Camp to take part in it.

Tang Ling was smart. He immediately understood what the senior meant. The other members of the Fierce Dragon Squad still did not understand what the takeover meant.

The hurried steps drew closer. Tang Ling looked up and asked the senior a question, “Will he do anything to me on the battlefield?

“He won’t dare to do anything on the battlefield since it’s a taboo in the Hope Barrier. As long as someone reports him, no matter who, it will be investigated by the authorities until everything is figured out. Moreover, your squad has… ” The senior spoke softly but quickly, and in the end, he glanced over at Yu and Orston.

Tang Ling did not say anything else. He started to calculate the losses and gains as well as the countermeasures instead.

The others were still wrapping their heads around the short and quick conversation. As for the three seniors, their gazes at Tang Ling revealed an extra sense of admiration.

Is this seemingly unreliable and unambitious junior, who is literally a rascal, as simple as he looks?

In fact, those who made it into the First Reserved Camp should never be looked down upon.

“Hank is taking everything? Does it mean that we aren’t allowed to do the mission?” Yu was the first to react as he stared at the three seniors. He was very serious and his eyes were gleaming with excitement.

In fact, before he even came into the First Reserved Camp, Hank was the one that Yu deemed as his strongest rival given his current strength level.

Who exactly was Hank? Hank came into the First Reserved Camp five years ago. Rumor had it that when he first came in, he already possessed power that could promote him to become a Purple Moon Warrior anytime.

If he wanted to, he could simply apply for extra resources from Safety Sector No. 17 and promote himself to Purple Moon Warrior.

Yet, he chose to stay in the First Reserved Camp. It had been five years since then and he still had not graduated.

However, no one would think that Hank was wasting his life because of that. Starting from the sixth month after he came into the First Reserved Camp, he had always been the boss of the camp.

On the stone at the entrance of the lobby where the power ranking was etched, Hank’s name was always in the first place. The person in second place did not even have the courage to challenge him.

Therefore, everyone thought that Hank must have his own plans for not breaking through to a Purple Moon Warrior after all this time. When he finally decided to promote himself, it would be an astonishing day.

As the descendant of a great family, Yu knew early on that the difference in power among Purple Moon Warriors was huge.

Yu was deemed as a genius since he was young and he was proud of it, he swore to become the strongest Purple Moon Warrior and Hand was destined to be his rival.

The strongest powerhouse should or must step on the shoulders of other powerhouses to reach the peak.

“What do you mean? Aren’t we allowed to take the mission?” Orston scratched his head, unable to grasp the meaning of the conversation. He obviously could not understand the quick conversation between Tang Ling and the senior, but he managed to get a little hint from Yu’s question.

“Just give up,” Amir said with his head lowered. Despite being quiet, he seemed to know what was going on.

Tang Ling also kept quiet.

Yu, on the other hand, was a little agitated. He looked at Tang Ling. “We can’t give up.” He then turned to Amir. “I understand what you mean, but if we keep running away, we won’t be able to stand with our heads up.”

Right after that, a voice interrupted him, “Nicely said.” The voice sounded very energetic and youthful yet it had a faint trace of a domineering presence. The voice sounded like it was praising a subordinate who had performed well.

Everyone in the cave looked up and noticed eight figures standing at the entrance of the cave.

The eight figures almost blocked the entire entrance. The faint purple glow from the energy gatherer in the lobby felt like their personal backlight, making them look powerful and mysterious.

“Are you Yu from the Yufeng family?” that same voice asked with a thought-provoking tone.

Everyone then noticed the voice came from the person in the center of the eight.

Compared to the other figures, the person was not tall. He was slightly slim and coupled with his fitting uniform, it faintly showed off his toned muscles.

His hair was golden and bright while his skin was a little too fair and his eyes were a rare green color that went surprisingly well with his red lips. He was so handsome that it felt sick, but it was an image that caused immense pressure.

Yu’s palms started to sweat.

The handsome man, who looked like a teenager but was already 20 years of age, was the one and only, Hank. Hank Tye! He was the person that Yu deemed as his rival and goal.

As a legend in Safety Sector No. 17, Hank came from an average family and due to his astonishing reputation, his family was glorified infinitely and had risen to become one of the great families in the sector.

Many times, Yu simulated meeting Hank, so he should be excited and battle-aroused, but certainly not nervous and scared.

Alas, what was he feeling at the moment? Yu was a little frustrated with himself. He curled his fists and stepped up. “I’m Yu. Yu of the First Reserved Camp. My family…”

“I am not interested in all that.” Hank dug his ear with his little finger.

More and more people gathered in the lobby. Those who were still in the First Reserved Camp gathered around for a show, including the warriors from other camps who were here to see what they were doing.

“A lot of people treat me as a target to challenge, and I suppose the genius of the Yufeng family is one of them, aren’t you? I’m not interested in other things about you except for that,” said Hank casually, sounding a little impatient.

Yu blushed all of a sudden. It was disdain that he felt from Hank, brazen and straightforward disdain! If he acknowledged that Hank was indeed his target to challenge…

Right before Yu could do anything, a warm hand tapped his shoulder lightly. Yu instinctively turned around and it was Tang Ling!
