Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Gu Jue’s Reverse Scale
If it’s destined that we will become opposing forces, then it might as well be better to start dismantling the other side early.
If it’s fated that others will always see you as a thorn in their eye,
then use your fists to completely conquer them, ensuring they never harbor any thoughts of rebellion again.
To rule the universe? Perhaps that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
Even though Gu Jue had always been the strongest man in the universe, with the highest Beast Transformation Level,
he had never before considered anything like ruling the universe.
When he fought against Star Thieves and Insectoids in the past, it was to protect the safety of the general public.
But now, having a wife and children, and with the current situation facing Landis Star, Gu Jue started having some new thoughts.
He and the might of Landis Star were destined to be targets for others,
and this relentless pursuit would not only endanger his life but most importantly, these people would target his family!
Even if Gu Jue hadn’t been particularly affectionate or attentive to his son Xiaochen since Gu Chen’s birth, only he knew how much he cared for the child.
Seeing Xiaochen resembling both him and Wanwan filled his heart with a rare tenderness.
So, when those people threatened Xiaochen, they directly infuriated Gu Jue!
He walked over to the large screen; by now, Su Wan had already led the Starship Fleet back and handed over the captured Star Thieves to the military.
Gu Jue saw on the screen that Su Wan was engaged in a Mecha duel with the black-haired Captain.
In fact, these Captains, aside from still mourning the deceased Commander, harbored some contempt for Su Wan.
"All you can do is cook and use Spatial Superpower, and your Beast Transformation Level is not bad, that’s all! You have no right to take over the old Commander’s position!"
Su Wan, "So can you cook? Can you use Spatial Superpower? Is your Beast Transformation Level higher than mine?"
The black-haired Captain was at a loss for words, glaring at Su Wan.
There was no helping it, just seconds ago, he had become a loser under Su Wan’s hand.
But even so, the man was still full of defiance, his tone cold as he said, "Even though I am not as good as you, you will never catch up with the old Commander!"
"Whether I will catch up with the old Commander or not, that’s for me to work on. As for you... you’ve already lost the basic discipline of an Interstellar Warrior and no longer deserve to be a squad leader."
"What?"
Su Wan turned around and walked away, leaving the black-haired Captain dumbfounded.
However, she had just stepped out of the training room when she saw the silver-haired Captain who had never spoken to her leaning against the wall, giving her a faint glance.
Su Wan stepped right past him.
After a few steps, she stopped, "Whether I am a qualified Commander or not is not for you to judge. But whether you squad leaders are qualified is for me to decide!"
The silver-haired Captain’s eyebrows lifted, "Why are you being both soft and hard?"
Su Wan turned back, the corner of her mouth rising, "Aren’t you also wavering in contradiction? Thinking that obeying the new Commander’s orders is a betrayal of the old Commander, but if the old Commander were still here, he’d have no respect for you either."
"A bunch of, naive fools!"
After Su Wan finished speaking, she turned and walked away. Vermilion Bird said softly in her earpiece, "Master, when you went to save people on the civilian spaceship, the big bearded one, the blonde, and the black-haired beauty were actually somewhat moved. If you had been alone and couldn’t beat the opponent, they would have actually stepped in to help."
"Only this silver-haired captain, who seems a bit weary of the world, truly doesn’t care much about the lives of ordinary people."
"The records say he’s a half-Beastman, saved from an insectoid nest by the old commander. The old commander was both a mentor and a friend to the other commanders, with a grace of recognition. But to this silver-haired captain, he was like a benevolent father figure."
Su Wan had a fair understanding now, and the preliminary things she had to do had mostly been done as well.
By calculation, the final task of the assessment should be issued soon.
And outside the examination arena, watching Su Wan on the screen, Eric said anxiously, "Why do I feel like Su Wan has done a lot, but also like she has done nothing?"
Li Rui also frowned slightly, "Those five individuals don’t show any sign of softening."
However, the time was approaching to issue the final task. If these five individuals still refused to cooperate at that time, Su Wan would not be able to choose new team leaders in a short period of time.
In the screen, Su Wan was not worried at all; she already understood the overall strength of the fleet. It could be said that the fleet’s strength was extremely high, provided that all five captains cooperated.
In the time that followed, Su Wan did not seek out any of the captains, yet those five captains gathered together.
The blonde captain touched his belly and said, "Actually, Commander Su is quite nice. We don’t need to be this tough on her! After all, she is still a girl."
"We Beastmen don’t differentiate between men and women, only by strength," the black-haired one said.
The beauty captain beside them smiled charmingly, "That’s right, she even defeated you in a Mecha PK."
The black-haired captain’s face darkened.
The rugged bearded captain said speechlessly, "Ay, why hasn’t she come to find us yet? Shouldn’t she talk to each of us, making us follow her command? Really, she should at least come to kick up a fight with us."
Apart from fighting with the black-haired captain, Su Wan had not laid a hand on any other captain.
Just then, the silver-haired captain yawned lazily, "Wait and see; she’s holding back for a big move."
What big move is Su Wan holding back for?
In fact, many people were curious, not just the virtual characters in the mission field, but also the people watching the screens outside the arena.
However, Eric and Li Rui noticed that their Chief Commander Gu Jue remained as calm as ever.
Eric whispered to Li Rui, "I bet the boss thinks it’s okay if Su Wan just plays around. If she passes, great; if not, no big deal."
Su Wan’s identity now is not what it used to be!
She’s the wife of Commander Gu, the boss of the Su Family restaurant, and what’s more, she’s the best cook on the entire Landis Star. Most importantly, her eldest son is the next king of Landis Star!
She herself is a very promising Space Ability User who underwent a postnatal Beast Transformation!
Being excellent in so many ways, whether she becomes a commander or not hardly makes a difference.
Although Eric lowered his voice, Gu Jue still heard him loud and clear.
Gu Jue turned around, his tone calm yet assured, "Wanwan will definitely pass the test."
Eric: (⊙x⊙;)
At that moment, Su Wan finally learned through Vermilion Bird about the final assessment task that was about to come.
Attack, the Star Thief’s lair!
