Chapter 518: Chapter 513: Is Sister Ning Not Going Back With Us?
[Zero]Execute the command immediately.
The program started, and the [five individuals] slowly awakened.
The man sitting in position 5 suddenly opened his eyes, directly meeting the eyes of Ji Ning, who was in position 11.
He thought he was mistaken, closed his eyes again, then reopened them, seeing that the person in front of him had unchanged features, and stood up in shock, "Commander?"
The other [individuals] quickly opened their eyes upon hearing this, rotating their necks somewhat mechanically to look towards position 11.
Ji Ning clasped her hands placed on the desk, staring straight at the old friend whose appearance had completely changed.
"Long time no see, Leader Yang."
"You still recognize me?" There was some excitement in the voice of number 5, even though he was wearing a mask, you could still feel his enthusiasm for Ji Ning.
Ji Ning smiled slightly, "Your habits have never changed, still love to half-clench your left hand on the desk."
Number 5 was slightly stunned, his eyes reddening slightly, looking at Ji Ning with a fiery gaze, "The Commander’s eyes are sharp, I’m really glad to still see you."
The smile on Ji Ning’s face gradually faded, her gaze turning sharper, "Leader Yang, are you accustomed to using someone else’s body?"
The [four individuals] sitting nearby were the second batch to join the Ji Family Army, they had never seen Ji Ning before, and as they watched the interaction between the two, their gazes at Ji Ning were filled with surprise and scrutiny.
At this moment, hearing Ji Ning mocking the most senior number 5, a trace of displeasure appeared on their faces.
People who are used to looking down on others from a high place, even though they know the person before them is someone they must look up to, still have little sense of recognition in their hearts.
After all, the Commander has always been a legendary figure, and they had never witnessed her great deeds firsthand.
Now wanting to come back and reap the benefits, they still have to see if she has the capability, right?
"Number 5, is she really the Commander? So young, she might just be a fraud, right?"
Number 5 naturally understood the mentality of these juniors, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness as he said to Ji Ning, "They’ve never seen you before, their words were inappropriate, please show mercy."
Ji Ning glanced at those four things not even human, and said indifferently, "I’m not going to be angry with a group of things that aren’t human."
"What did you say?"
"Who are you insulting?"
"Even if you are the Commander, you can’t be so rude, can you?"
"No wonder number 3 didn’t want you to return..."
Ji Ning glanced at the [four individuals], and chuckled lightly, "[Zero], let these four imbeciles go into hibernation."
The [four individuals] were enraged and just about to say something when their minds immediately shut down, and they closed their eyes and retreated into their seats.
Number 5 looked at Ji Ning in disbelief, "You made the Smart Brain recognize you as master?"
Ji Ning retorted, "Isn’t that what you all wanted?"
Number 5 hesitated to speak, his gaze towards Ji Ning carrying a hint of complexity.
The early ideals had been diluted by power and desire, and he realized the reason for Ji Ning’s arrival.
Number 3 had been jealous of Ji Ning all his life, dreaming of replacing her as the Supreme Commander of Hua Continent and becoming the hero in everyone’s hearts, but no matter how hard he tried, his talents and abilities were still not one-tenth of Ji Ning’s.
It was as if heaven had bestowed all the excellence onto Ji Ning, the prodigious daughter, making everyone around her overshadowed.
Even though she had disappeared for 120 years, there were still people who remembered her, praised her, ensuring she would never vanish from public view.
Now seeing Ji Ning’s return with his own eyes, he suddenly thought of the words Fu Huayu once said:
[Some people are born kings, and even if she disappears, no one can replace her.]
"With your abilities, you can ensure he doesn’t die, right." Number 5, after a long silence, raised his head, pleading.
Ji Ning frowned slightly, "Is he your grandson?"
"Yes, but he volunteered."
"Then it can’t be guaranteed."
Number 5 was somewhat helpless, "Rest assured, he won’t cause you any trouble, he’s also a fan of the Ai Ning Group."
Ji Ning: ...
***
When the blazing fire once again illuminated half the night sky, Ye Xingyan felt a bit regretful.
"Commander, these building materials can actually be recycled."
Ji Ning looked at him indifferently, "Aren’t you afraid of nightmares?"
Ye Xingyan immediately shut up, not daring to speak again.
The Josen Family had it dozens of times worse than the Rick Family; not only did their centuries-old accumulation burn away, but the fires on their territory also burned for seven days and nights, never extinguishing, as if they were cursed by a demon.
Someone then posted this bizarre event online, tagging some members of the Josen Family, but no one responded.
They seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
Onlookers, unconcerned with the bigger picture, tagged the West Continent Alliance again.
But the official only released a statement saying they were investigating, and nothing followed.
No one knew how terrified the authorities of the West Continent Alliance were at this moment.
If a family suddenly and silently found a group of strangers with top-tier superpowers in their territory, they’d worry themselves sleepless.
Crucially, they also silently demolished an old family and kidnapped their strongest force.
This can’t be described as provocation; it’s equivalent to sticking a knife into the heart of the West Continent, threatening lives at any moment.
As long as these individuals desired, they could change the leadership of the West Continent instantly.
In the face of absolute power, all dissatisfaction and clamor are just bluffs.
Especially when they have a grip on the jugular, leaving them unable even to shout.
Countless horrific video evidence appeared on the conference desks of the West Continent Alliance, and any exposure could make the West Continent the target of global forces.
So, how could they dare to voice any condemnation? They were eager to cooperate and eliminate the source of evil - the Josen Family.
One week later —
A luxurious cruise ship flying the Hua Continent Alliance flag returned home, carrying boxes of ashes.
...
On the deck —
Ye Tong watched Ji Ning standing by the railing, gazing at the sunset, feeling uncomfortable inside.
Scenes of eating at the same table seemed like they happened just yesterday.
She still remembered the man who deliberately asked her for meat soup, but during the cremation, not all of his remains could be found.
She saw that Ji Ning’s eyes, slightly red, seemed to have something brewing, but when she lifted her head to look at the sky, the tears wouldn’t fall.
As the newly appointed representative of Hua Continent, Ji Ning couldn’t shed a tear on this West Continent land.
But not crying doesn’t mean no sadness...
Ye Tong wanted to approach but was held back by Huang Ying.
"Let her be alone for a while."
Ye Tong hesitated, then followed Huang Ying back into the cabin, whispering, "Sister Ying, isn’t Sister Ning returning with us?"
"Why do you ask?"
Ye Tong pointed to a small cruiser not far behind the cruise ship, "I heard they want to take Sister Ning to Beizhou. They’re not detectives, are they?"
Huang Ying murmured an acknowledgment.
"Then who are they? With such strength, will Sister Ning be in danger?" Ye Tong had come to understand the Twelve Guards’ behaviors over the past few days, and they were nothing like Xiao Kong and the others.
Though the Twelve Guards, together with Sister Ning, saved many, she still felt wary and couldn’t get close to them.
Huang Ying was somewhat surprised by Ye Tong’s sharp intuition, and patted her shoulder seriously, "Ye Tong, everything that happened in the West Continent this time, you mustn’t speak of it outside, especially what those in the small boat said, not a word should be leaked."
Ye Tong was taken aback, quickly nodding her head.
"Your crew contacted you a few times; Asheng already handled it using your voice. Just live normally when you return, and forget about what happened in the West Continent," Huang Ying’s voice softened slightly.
Ye Tong’s nose suddenly tingled with heaviness, and she replied with a nasal "Uh-huh," opening her arms to hug Huang Ying back.
Huang Ying patted her back, a tender look in her eyes.
This must have really scared her, right?
For an ordinary person, reaching this extent is already remarkable...
Suddenly —
Huang Ying’s eyes turned sharp.
"Who’s there?"
The Wood Element Investigator walked out awkwardly from behind a column, holding a pot of plants with one hand.
"Sorry to disturb you. I want to speak with Leader Ji about something."
"What is it?"
"Well... work-related stuff," the Wood Element Investigator didn’t want to elaborate.
Huang Ying scrutinized him, then stepped aside, "She’s on the deck."
"Thanks!"
