“What?”
Because Qin Long had turned on the speakerphone, the voice from the other end of the phone was clearly heard by Qin Long and the other members of the action team.
After the call ended, Qin Long and the other action team members’ eyes widened in shock.
None of them had expected Old Song to actually agree to let Shen Lang, the favored one, participate in this mission. What was wrong with Old Song?
Had the impartial Old Song also started to show favoritism?
Everyone stared at Shen Lang, their minds racing, wondering about the background of this favored one.
However, since Old Song, the director, had agreed, Qin Long naturally did not dare to let Shen Lang leave.
It was just that if Shen Lang voluntarily proposed to leave, that would be another matter.
Qin Long angrily put away his phone, then walked up to Shen Lang and said coldly, “Kid, I don’t know what your background is, but I’m telling you, today’s mission is very dangerous. In a life-and-death struggle, no one will care if you live or die.”
“If you have any self-awareness, for your own safety and the safety of your teammates, I advise you to leave now. I don’t want this mission to fail because of you, a favored one, and have my team members suffer casualties.”
Bringing a favored one on such a critical and dangerous mission was equivalent to bringing a time bomb, which could lead to their complete annihilation at any moment. How could Qin Long not be angry?
“Qin Long, you’ve gone too far. Old Song already agreed, and you’re still making things difficult for Shen Lang?”
Seeing that Qin Long still wanted Shen Lang to leave at this point, Gu Qinghan’s eyes turned cold, and she rebuked him.
“Sister, don’t be angry. Getting angry is bad for your liver.”
Seeing Gu Qinghan’s anger, Shen Lang smiled at her and gently patted her back, calming her emotions.
Then, Shen Lang’s gaze met Qin Long’s directly. He yawned and said lazily, “Originally, I didn’t want to participate in this kind of operation. But I’m worried that my sister might be in danger during this mission, so no matter how unwilling I am, I have to participate.”
“The reason why you and the other team members insist that I leave is simply because you think I’m a favored one and you’re worried that I’ll drag you down at a critical moment, right?”
“I didn’t want to show off, but since it has come to this, I will use my strength to show you why I can participate in this mission.”
Shen Lang looked at Qin Long and the other action team members, raised his right hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said, “I’m here. If any of you can last more than ten moves against me, I will leave and not participate in this operation.”
“What?”
Hearing Shen Lang’s words, not only Qin Long and the other action team members were shocked, but even Gu Qinghan was surprised.
Gu Qinghan never expected Shen Lang to make such a request, challenging Qin Long and the entire action team by himself.
Although Gu Qinghan had some understanding of Shen Lang’s strength, Qin Long and these martial guards were all top experts. Could Shen Lang really defeat each of them within ten moves?
“Brother, isn’t this a bit too impulsive?”
Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Lang, her expression a little worried, and said.
“Sister, don’t worry. I never brag, especially not in front of you.”
Shen Lang looked at Gu Qinghan and smiled.
“Kid, you’re very arrogant.”
As Shen Lang’s voice fell, Qin Long’s voice followed.
Looking at Shen Lang, flames of anger erupted from Qin Long’s eyes. He said, “I, Qin Long, have never seen anyone as arrogant as you. You’ve touched my taboo.”
Qin Long, nicknamed Fierce Dragon, was famously unruly and arrogant.
He detested people like Shen Lang from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, he wanted to teach Shen Lang a lesson.
“Xiong Zi, give this kid a lesson. Don’t go too hard, just make sure he can’t get out of bed for half a year.”
Qin Long looked at a thin man, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and lean, but had bright, piercing eyes.
“Yes—”
Hearing Qin Long’s words, the thin man named Xiong Zi stepped out from the team, then walked up to Shen Lang and smiled, “If I strike first, it would be bullying you. You go first.”
Although Xiong Zi was unhappy with Shen Lang’s arrogance, he didn’t dwell on it too much.
There were always some young people in this world who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. When you met them, you just taught them a harsh lesson.
“No need. You go first. If I go first, you won’t have a chance to strike.”
Although Xiong Zi looked unremarkable and was small in stature, Shen Lang could tell from his breathing and bulging temples that Xiong Zi was a master of internal martial arts.
However, in front of Shen Lang, there were no masters.
“This kid is simply courting death.”
Hearing Shen Lang’s words, Qin Long and the other action team members’ faces were filled with anger.
Along with their anger, there was a hint of schadenfreude.
Although Xiong Zi looked thin, he possessed a terrifying explosive power. Even Qin Long did not dare to underestimate him.
This kid actually let Xiong Zi strike; he was truly asking for death.
“Are you sure?”
Xiong Zi was used to being underestimated.
Because of his physique, he had been underestimated countless times.
However, after being underestimated, he always used his fists to show the other party what a foolish decision it was to underestimate him.
“Go ahead, don’t waste time.”
Shen Lang looked at Xiong Zi and said, “I’ll seriously remind you, don’t hold back. Once you strike, you must use your full strength because, against me, you will only have one chance to strike.”
“Alright, I will listen to you.”
Seeing Shen Lang’s extreme arrogance, even the usually calm Xiong Zi was angered.
“Xiong Zi is angry, this kid is finished.”
Seeing Xiong Zi’s anger, Qin Long and the faces of the other action team leaders all showed cruel smiles.
Xiong Zi was a calm person and never got angry because of others’ underestimation.
Now that he was clearly angry, it meant he was completely enraged by Shen Lang.
Qin Long and the others had seen the consequences of Xiong Zi’s anger. This kid would likely be crippled or seriously injured.
However, none of the people present, despite knowing the consequences, stopped him.
This was because Shen Lang was simply too arrogant and had thoroughly provoked them.
“Brother, don’t hurt anyone.”
Others might not know Shen Lang’s strength, but Gu Qinghan did.
Even a strong expert like Nalan Wushuang had fallen at Shen Lang’s hands, so Xiong Zi was definitely no match for Shen Lang.
Gu Qinghan hoped that Shen Lang would become a member of the Martial Guard Department in the future, so she naturally didn’t want Shen Lang to be too heavy-handed and offend everyone.
“Sister, don’t worry. I won’t hurt him. After all, he still has a mission to carry out later. If I injure him, he won’t be able to perform his duty.”
After speaking, Shen Lang made a gesture to Xiong Zi and said, “Please strike.”
“Bang—”
As Shen Lang’s voice fell, Xiong Zi let out a roar, leaped up, and slammed a punch directly at Shen Lang.
