Chapter 761 - 364: Father and Son Reunited? (Part 1)

Because of the matters between Gu Ningxuan and Su Jiameng, Huaifeng’s feelings towards Gu Ningxuan are quite complex, but he also knows to respect the dead, so he still holds some respect for this father he never got to acknowledge.

Of course, when he later finds out that someone has "returned from the dead," all that respect is like dust in the wind, reduced to just two words: Ha Ha!

When Huaifeng heard a man with the same name as his father, he naturally felt nothing and prepared to leave with the three others. Hua Yi and Jiang Xin naturally had no objections, only worried about the impending massive homework and punishments, but the girl was a hassle.

"I don’t want to go!" The girl had already collected her emotions, staring at Huaifeng with steadfast eyes full of defense and vigilance.

Huaifeng started to get a headache. In his eyes, girls equaled trouble. He was not like his brother, who could patiently deal with someone like Qianhe, who couldn’t even figure out their gender. He suddenly turned cold and asked, "Why don’t you want to go?"

The girl, tense, mustered the courage to retort, "Of course I don’t want to go. Who knows if you’re a good person?"

Huaifeng glanced at the girl and decisively dismissed his previous idea. Although that Qianhe was naive, his personality was actually quite likeable. At least he wouldn’t drop the ball at such a critical moment, unable to distinguish between good and bad people.

He snorted with his nose, lifted the girl onto his shoulder with ease, and ignored her teary response. Then, he summoned his mecha and tossed her into the copilot seat. "Keep crying, cry if you want. If you attract the enemy, be prepared to be captured back. Although I’m here to rescue, I’m not here specifically for you."

"Huaifeng, at least be a bit gentler with girls. Learn from your brother; he’s a pretty good example." Jiang Xin casually pulled up a small stool and sat in the cockpit floor space, clearly displeased with Huaifeng’s obvious rough actions. "My brother also said, as a man, you should be gentle and loving towards women because they are delicate flowers..."

Huaifeng rolled his eyes at Jiang Xin, wondering what nonsense Jiang Zhe inculcated in his brother. Gentle and loving towards women? Thinking about those fierce women in the Military Department, he deeply believed he’d live alone his whole life rather than entertain such self-destructive thoughts!

If those women flattened their chests, they’d each be more manly and ferocious than any man, would they not?

Considering that they were the youngest "male warriors" in the Military Department, they were often the victims of those women’s relentless torment! Those claiming women are fragile must be forgetting their eyes at home, right?

Though Huaifeng was still far from adulthood, given his special status, he already had his own exclusive war mecha. Though the one he was currently piloting couldn’t compare to the one for battle, its performance was not bad.

As he skillfully activated the mecha system, with the instruments in the cockpit lighting up one by one, he addressed his two friends, "You’ve got some things wrong. First, my brother is definitely not a good example. Aside from Qianhe and grandma, everyone else in his view is of one gender, never treating anyone specially. Second, women are never delicate..."

In battle, those female warriors are fiercer than the males, drawing the Insect Race’s ire more reliably!

"And third, at my current age, I can only be classified as a boy or a youth." The mecha smoothly launched, then flew skyward supported by the enormous engine, heading in the opposite direction from the base. "I’ll first get you to a safe place, none of you should think about running off, or, if captured again, no one will come to rescue you!"

"Where are you going?" Hua Yi astutely caught the hidden meaning in his words, "Do you have another mission?"

Huaifeng answered while piloting the mecha, "Naturally, the Military Department has dispatched personnel to clean up that mysteriously powered base. Otherwise, how could I be piloting a mecha with firepower exceeding limits? Okay, stay on this rooftop. Once I complete my task, I’ll come to fetch you."

The mecha landed on the rooftop of a towering high-rise, and Huaifeng motioned for the three to disembark. Then he switched the mecha to a battle mode with fully open firepower, "I’ll be back soon, don’t wander off."

Since being dumped in the copilot seat, the girl had been in a dazed state. It wasn’t until she saw the mecha depart and switch modes, revealing the emblem unique to the Alliance’s Xilena Star System Military Department on its mechanical arm, that she slowly came back to her senses.

"He’s... not a scammer?" The girl’s voice trembled slightly, her whole being as if in a dream, barely daring to believe.

"How could he be a scammer?" Jiang Xin crossed his arms, sitting bored on the edge of the rooftop, leaning against the wall, eyes gazing afar, "I must hurry and become stronger... can’t let him pull too far ahead..."

Gu Huaifeng accelerated, speeding towards his destination like the wind, "Calling, calling, this is GHF1007, target individuals have been relocated to safety, please report on the situation on your end."

After a while, following some static, a familiar voice reached his ear, surrounded by sounds of bombing and explosions, "This is GHX1117, target individuals have also been safely relocated. We’re currently engaging, and the situation is a stalemate; permission to activate the second plan!"

"Alright, I understand, big brother..." Huaifeng’s face showed a smile, just as he was about to say something, a fragmented voice reached his ear: "How could it be him..." Then the connection was abruptly cut, leaving his smile frozen. (To be continued.
