Chapter 4: I Would Have Killed This Person If This Was A Battlefield
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the southern regions of Langdon, Javon.
In the sky above the airport!
Under the fighter jets, Javon International Airport was incredibly busy. Almost all of the employees had come to the airport.
There were even people rushing the planes off on the runways of Javon International Airport.
“Why is that Espain Boeing 747 over there still moving? Stop it. Drag that plane to the corner!
“And that A380, what’s going on? Who allowed it to poke its head out? Does it think that it’s a giraffe? Pull that neck back in!
“What? An international airline carrier complained about me? Whatever, do they really think that they’re very influential? This is Langdon, not Espia!”
...
Stanley Chase was very authoritative after assuming command of the airport. It looked as though he had gone back to the days where he was commanding the Aerial Battle Division in battle.
His blood was boiling with battle intent!
He was the only person in the airport that knew how important the person about to land was.
The Strongest Military Lord, the King of Aerial Battles, Battle Asura, Living Hades, etc... That person had countless honors and titles!
That person was the youngest Titled Military Lord in Langdon history, Bruce White!
He was a god in the military, the pillar of faith for Langdon’s soldiers, and also Langdon’s Guardian Deity!
This information had been told to him by his old partners in battle. They discussed Military Lord Bruce’s accolades whenever they met up.
Their blood would boil with pride whenever they talked about Bruce White. They all wanted to fight alongside Bruce White in battle and decimate their enemies on the battlefield beside him!
Though Stanley Chase had changed his occupation, he was still an old soldier of the Aerial Battle Division. He viewed the hot-blooded and spirited days he spent in the military as the most important ones in his life.
At this moment, he was not only executing the mission that the higher-ups had handed him, but also giving Bruce White the utmost respect as an old soldier!
...
“Shelton Chase, what’s the meaning of this? Why didn’t you notify me, the deputy general manager, about something as major as sealing off the entire airport?”
Shelton Chase suddenly heard a voice at the other end of the receiver while he was terribly busy. It was the voice of the deputy general manager, William Curtis.
He turned back to look at the dazed Matthew Falls, then replied calmly, “It is an order from the Aerial Battle Division, do you have a problem?”
“What? The Ae-Aerial Battle Division? I’m coming back right away!”
The person on the other end of the line hung up. Shelton Chase’s phone rang again almost immediately after. “Mr. Chase, what’s going on? Why didn’t you notify me of something as major as sealing off the airport beforehand? The complaints are already coming my way.”
This was Javon’s first-in-command, Quentin Stark. Shelton Chase repeated what he said just now and got the same reaction.
Then, Shelton Chase got one call after another from many of Javon’s influential merchants. They were all asking about the sealing of the airport.
Shelton Chase did not explain the situation in too much detail to these people. He implicitly told them that an influential figure was arriving and they were not worthy enough of meeting this person.
…
In the Stuarts’ residence in Javon.
A group of people was gathered in an opulent meeting room and looking expectantly at the person in the middle. They quickly asked when they saw that person hang up, “Timothy, how is it? Did Shelton Chase agree to let us go?”
The richest man in Javon, Timothy Stuart, knitted his brows and looked at the group. “That person is extremely influential. Shelton Chase implicitly told me that we are not worthy enough to meet that person even if we wanted to.”
“Even we are not worthy enough?”
“Sigh... What a pity. The status of a person who can get Shelton Chase to seal off the airport to receive him must be exceptional. Our dreams of breaking into Porta might be realized very soon if we managed to get into that person’s good books!”
When he saw the disappointment on the faces of the people in the group, Timothy Stuart said calmly, “It might be rather unfortunate but there’s no need to be so disappointed. Jason has already sent news. He is now a King of War! The Javon Battle Division regards him highly. I believe that the Stuarts will soon break into Porta with Jason’s influence!”
The group instantly became elated when they heard the news. However, Timothy Stuart was feeling a little pissed off about the incident at the airport.
“Just who is influential enough to receive such prestigious treatment?” he wondered. “It’s such a pity that I can’t meet that person! It’s such a pity!!!”
...
At Javon Airport!
Ten minutes before Bruce White’s plane was set to arrive at the airport, Javon Airport was finally completely sealed off under Shelton Chase’s command.
All four of the airport’s runways had been emptied.
Anyone who had nothing to do there left. Only a few people stayed behind to maintain order.
The mayor of Javon, important members from various sectors, the general manager of the airport, etc... All of Javon’s influential figures, aside from the Executive Bureau’s first-in-command, Hanson Holt, who was busy with work, had come.
Anybody worthy of standing here wielded massive influence in Javon.
Matthew Falls was allowed to stay at William Curtis’s insistence. Shelton Chase was not very happy about it but he did not pursue the matter.
“Act smart later. That person must be very influential for Shelton Chase to regard him so highly. We must not let Shelton Chase claim all the credit, understand?” William Curtis reminded Matthew Falls.
“Don’t worry, William! I’ll perform well later!” Matthew Falls replied straightforwardly.
At this moment, the people at the airport heard a wave of booming rumbles.
The roars of the fighter jets broke the silence. It sounded like the roars of a dragon about to burst their eardrums.
The fighter jets looked just like dragons in the sky.
What followed was a scene that the people at the airport would remember for the rest of their lives.
The hundred-odd fighter jets cruised by and formed a line. The fighter jet flying at the very front was like a lord, looking down at everything!
A moment later, all of the fighter jets suddenly tilted to the side and dove. They abruptly flew back up into the air when they got close to Bruce White’s fighter jet.
All hundred or so fighter jets did the same thing. It was a magnificent sight!
Everyone was looking up into the sky, startled. They all looked lost and surprised.
Only the old soldier, Shelton Chase, who had had a ten-year stint in the Aerial Battle Division, knew that this was the military salute of the Aerial Battle Division!
All the one hundred pilots in the fighter jets were demonstrating their utmost respect to the strongest military lord, the King of Aerial Battles in a formal way!
Shelton Chase’s eyes turned red as he witnessed this scene. Tears were streaming down his face.
Then, he put his feet together and stood ramrod straight. He faced Bruce White’s fighter jet and gave a serious military salute.
“William, is Shelton Chase an idiot?” Matthew Falls could not help but quietly mock Shelton Chase when he saw this scene. He even had a mocking smile on his face.
William Curtis shook his head. He had never served in the military and did not know the meaning behind Shelton Chase’s actions. Thus, he could not directly answer the question. “He must have been moved by something. Shelton Chase was from the Aerial Battle Division.”
“So he was an old soldier? Hahaha...” Matthew Falls could stop himself from laughing.
However, he had just started laughing when Shelton Chase shot a frightening gaze in his direction. He was so frightened that he toned down his laughter in a hurry.
At the same time, Bruce White’s fighter jet was slowly cruising along on the runway. After the jet landed, Bruce White picked up his communications device and told all of the soldiers who were still flying in the air. “Thank you, comrades! Head back and continue protecting Langdon!”
“Goodbye, Military Lord!” All of the soldiers replied in unison.
The fighter jets circled the airport three times before slowly leaving the area.
A moment later, the cockpit of the fighter jet slowly opened. Matthew Falls, who had already prepared himself for the moment, moved forward quickly. He immediately drove over in a buggy.
Clearly, Matthew Falls wanted to be the first to interact with that influential figure and leave an impression.
However, he had not even parked his buggy when a figure dressed in white leaped out of the fighter jet. That person landed stably on the ground and caused Matthew Falls to miss his target.
Matthew Falls got off the car in a hurry when he realized what happened, then jogged toward Bruce White. He bowed and introduced himself, trying to butter up Bruce White in the process, “Hello sir, my name is Matthew Falls. I am the manager of Javon Airport’s control tower. You can notify me if you need anything. I guarantee that I’ll do it well. I-”
Matthew Falls was feeling complacent as he introduced himself. He even did not forget to secretly give William Curtis an “OK” sign while he was introducing himself.
Willian Curtis also gave him a thumbs-up when he saw the situation.
Just as Matthew Falls was rounding out his self-introduction, Shelton Chase rushed over with Javon’s first-in-command Quentin Stark, William Curtis, and the rest of the group.
“Ex-member of the Aerial Battle Division, Shelton Chase, reporting for duty! Please relay your orders, Commander!” Shelton Chase saluted once again.
“Good day, sir. I am the person in charge of Javon, Quentin Stark. Welcome to Javon. I’ve arranged a welcoming banquet for you.”
“I am the deputy general manager of Javon Airport, William Curtis. You can notify me if you need anything.”
Everyone fought to introduce themselves to Bruce White as if they were deeply afraid of missing out.
There was no emotion on Bruce White’s face in light of the crowd’s anxiety. He simply said, “Prepare a car for me. The sooner the better.”
“Sir, use mine. Mine’s an Audi.”
“Sir, you should use mine. I drive a Mercedes. It’s very comfortable.”
“Sir...”
The crowd once again fought to offer their cars. Bruce White knitted his brows when he saw this scene.
He did not bother with the crowd. Instead, he looked toward Shelton Chase who had remained silent, “Chase, what car do you drive?”
Shelton Chase stroked his nose, a little embarrassed. He spoke up as if he had been put on the spot, “A local brand, Brave Warrior.”
Shelton Chase knew that his car was insignificant compared to the luxury cars of those who were here.
However, he was used to driving that car while he was in the battle division. Thus, he bought himself a Brave Warrior when he retired from active duty. He wanted to rekindle the sensation he once had in the battle division.
Shelton Chase thought that Bruce White would dislike his car. After all, even he did not feel comfortable offering it to him. However, unexpectedly, Bruce White immediately said, “Alright, I’ll use that.”
Shelton Chase was startled when he heard those words. He immediately got on the phone and asked someone to drive his car over when he came to his senses.
The envy of everyone around him was instantly written all over their faces.
They did not mind giving their cars to Bruce White, much less lend them to him temporarily. Unfortunately, Bruce White did not fancy their luxury cars and went for Shelton Chase’s locally produced one instead.
Sigh...
Several people secretly sighed. They felt as though they had out on missed something important and looked dejected.
“Tsh! Locally produced cars are all garbage. Are they even fit for humans?”
Matthew Falls pouted, feeling a little bit of disdain. There was even a look of displeasure on his face.
Someone drove Shelton Chase’s car in a few minutes. Bruce White got onto the car immediately.. He pointed at Matthew Falls before he left and told the crowd, “I requested to speak with the control tower five times just now but he refused all my calls. I would have killed this person if this was a battlefield!”
