Chapter 1364: Chapter 1363: Offending

As soon as Jiang Cheng walked in, he immediately felt the gazes coming from various directions. At this moment, a waiter-looking person approached him. "Sorry, sir, we’re not open yet. Please come back in the evening," the waiter said politely.

Jiang Cheng ignored him and muttered to himself, "The mighty tiger covers the ground."

The waiter froze, his expression changing to one of surprise, and he quickly retreated. Shortly after, a man walked over. Standing before this man, Jiang Cheng felt his own insignificance. The burly man’s height was about two meters. He was huge, like a mountain. His bronze skin and a face full of flesh made him look like a typical mafia boss.

"I love your mother," the big man said as soon as he saw Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng realized they had exchanged the secret code, but he was quite displeased with it.

Jiang Cheng extended his hand and shook hands with the big man. "Captain Jiang Cheng, we’ve received the notification. Didn’t expect you to arrive so soon. I’ve just informed the other team members; they’re on their way," Mount Da said. "By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Mount Da."

Just like your name! Jiang Cheng looked at Mount Da’s physique and couldn’t help but feel that the name was really fitting.

"Haha, it’s the name my parents gave me. I can’t do much about the size," Mount Da didn’t mind.

"Right, tell me about the team situation," Jiang Cheng said to Mount Da.

"Alright. Our team belongs to the Special Operations Division of the regional security team in Wu City, under direct command of the person in charge. Including you as the captain, there are 5 people in total in the team. Three men and two women," Mount Da introduced the basic situation.

He paused and continued, "Each person in the team has their own role. I’ll introduce them one by one when everyone arrives." Jiang Cheng nodded.

It didn’t take long before everyone arrived. Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but sweat a little. Are these really the members of the most mysterious department of the regional security team? Among them was actually an old acquaintance.

Zhang Mengmeng, twenty-five years old, but looks only fifteen or sixteen. Calling her baby-faced is no exaggeration; she doesn’t look like an agent at all. Yes, this is Zhang Mengmeng, whom Jiang Cheng brought to Wu City.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Cheng asked in shock.

"I was feeling bored alone, so I told the higher-ups I wanted to partner with you. Didn’t expect them to agree right away and assign me here," Zhang Mengmeng said with her big eyes.

Long Mengmeng is mainly responsible for network and weapon development, considered a high-tech genius. But her combat power is virtually zero, without any superpowers.

"Yeah, Mengmeng just arrived a few days ago. The person in charge brought her," said Mount Da on the side.

Ning Jing, twenty-eight years old. This is actually the woman with a hot body who took Jiang Cheng to report, with a name as quiet as that, not really fitting at all. Ning Jing is a level-ranked superpower user and the team leader. Her superpower is charm, and basically, no man can resist her allure. She’s experienced, having completed multiple tasks.

Counting Sheep, that’s his nickname, real name Yang Shu. His superpower is the water element, and he’s the team doctor. He also possesses the ability to disguise, able to transform into another person’s appearance anytime and anywhere. Counting Sheep really lives up to his name, looking a bit lecherous, with quite the old mountain goat feel. The last one is Mount Da. A superpower user, mutated earth attribute, possessing extreme defense and control abilities; where there’s earth, it’s his domain.

This is the entire Second Team. Generally, Second Team executes relatively simple tasks, like capturing low-grade law-breaking superpower users or assisting with hostage rescue missions the local police can’t solve. They usually don’t have huge missions.

Jiang Cheng looked at this group of eccentrics and thought, what kind of people did the person in charge assign to him? Are they kidding?

But thoughts aside, Jiang Cheng still had to properly shoulder his responsibility as the captain.

"Alright, everyone knows each other now, so tonight I’ll treat everyone to a big feast," Jiang Cheng said with some heartache, knowing he had to spend money again, but winning hearts would make future tasks easier.

"Really? Thank you, Captain!" the other four team members said excitedly. "Where should we go to eat? Which hotel?" they asked excitedly; the new captain really knew how to work things out.

"I’ll send you the address tonight, and then you’ll know," Jiang Cheng said mysteriously.

That evening, when the five stood by a food stall, their hearts filled with disbelief. Looking at Jiang Cheng pretending not to know, they also felt helpless.

"You know nothing. This place tastes much better than those so-called five-star hotels!" After choosing their seats, Jiang Cheng faced four pairs of resentful eyes, somewhat lacking confidence.

"Look at the environment. Isn’t it great? Eating meat in big chunks, drinking alcohol in gulps, isn’t it better than in hotels?" Jiang Cheng said.

They all felt helpless but resolved to make the best of the situation; having something to eat was better than nothing.

So they began to order dishes.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone gradually got more excited, thoroughly enjoying the meal, occasionally ordering more dishes, feeling quite happy.

At this moment, a group of unruly looking people entered, about ten of them. Without saying a word, they started smashing things, breaking wine bottles.

The shop owner rushed out from the kitchen upon hearing the noise. Seeing these people, his face looked troubled.

"Hey, hey, hey, brothers, please stop. My small business can’t afford to be smashed," the owner said anxiously.

Mount Da saw this scene, put down his chopsticks, and was about to stand up, but Jiang Cheng quickly held him down. Jiang Cheng shook his head at Mount Da, indicating not to act impulsively and watch for now.

Seeing the owner come out, they stopped the smashing. Among them, a leader-looking person pointed a baton at the owner’s nose and said, "You haven’t paid this month’s protection fee. Don’t you want to keep this shop open?"

"Oh, Brother, please have mercy. My shop just opened a few days ago. I really have no money to pay. I’ll make it up to you in a few days. What do you think?" The shop owner pleaded, nodding and bowing.

"A few days? If everyone takes a few days, how are we brothers supposed to eat? We don’t need to eat? I’m telling you, if you can’t pay today, forget about opening this shop."

Bam!" Ning Jing couldn’t help it anymore, slamming the table hard. "That’s too much! Do you have any regard for the law?" Ning Jing shouted.

"The law? Haha. She’s talking to me about the law, haha!" The leader seemed to have heard something amusing and couldn’t stop laughing.

Seeing there were also customers, the shop owner went to their table and said to Jiang Cheng and others, "I’m sorry, everyone, something’s come up. Just consider today’s meal on me. Please don’t provoke them, and quickly leave."
