"No problem, this is our duty."
The leader said with a serious expression.
"Good, I believe our country can handle these matters very well."
Chen Xiao nodded, as if he were the leader.
At this moment, the leader suddenly realized, why was this kid taking charge?
The situation was clearly under Chen Xiao's control.
Chen Xiao also realized this, and a hint of awkwardness seemed to freeze in the air.
"By the way, about those old guys..."
To prevent the awkwardness from spreading, Chen Xiao quickly changed the subject.
Before he could finish speaking, the leader shook his head and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, don't worry about them. Those old guys, relying on some contributions they made in their youth, are now throwing tantrums and rolling around on their laurels... They never thought that their descendants, like parasites, have already eaten away all their merits. I have already been more than kind to them. If they still don't know their place, I don't mind letting them know my methods."
The leader suddenly became cunning.
The news Chen Xiao brought him was too shocking, causing his demeanor to change instantly.
The original dispute was like a domestic quarrel, but now the problem to be faced was the life and death of all humanity.
In this situation, the leader naturally no longer cared about those old guys who relied on their seniority.
Moreover, if he had to choose between Chen Xiao and those old guys, he would not hesitate to choose Chen Xiao.
The leader decided to bear the pressure from those old guys alone, and Chen Xiao naturally had to reciprocate: "Leader, I need to go out for a moment. Please wait."
"Okay!"
Out of trust and respect for Chen Xiao, the leader didn't even ask what Chen Xiao was going to do.
Afterward, Chen Xiao went out, and returned thirty minutes later.
He was still carrying a briefcase, which he placed in front of the leader.
"What is this?"
"I'll open it. Don't be scared."
"Yes, I'm fine. You can open it."
In just an instant, the leader had dozens of guesses about the contents of the bag.
But he never expected that what was inside the briefcase would be a human head.
"Hmm? This is..."
A hint of surprise flashed in the leader's eyes, but he did not show any fear. He just felt that this head looked a bit familiar.
"This is General Losev of the Bear Country. The demonic beasts that invaded the northern border were under his command. He planned to use the demonic beasts to deplete the Heavenly Strategy Army stationed in the north, and then launch a large-scale invasion of the northern border."
Chen Xiao said calmly.
The leader's face turned grim, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Xiao Zhan reported this matter to me. The Bear Country has wolfish ambitions, Chen Xiao, you have made another great contribution to the country!"
"It is my honor to do a small part for the country, and for me, it is merely a matter of convenience."
Chen Xiao killed Losev, firstly because he deserved to die, and secondly, it was Chen Xiao's pledge of allegiance.
By doing so, he was sending a signal to the leader that he could handle some of the dirty work that could not be seen in the light.
In return, when Chen Xiao did certain things, the leader should also give him a green light.
The leader, being insightful, understood Chen Xiao's intentions immediately, but he did not commit directly to Chen Xiao, remaining noncommittal.
He calmly thought of something and pointed to Losev's head, asking, "Chen Xiao, when did you do this?"
"Just now."
Chen Xiao said lightly.
"What?"
The leader was greatly shocked and asked incredulously, "You mean, you did this during the time you just went out? How did you do it?"
After all, the time Chen Xiao was out was no more than thirty minutes at most.
How did he reach the Bear Country within thirty minutes, and how did he manage to take General Losev's head under the heavy guard of the Bear Country's forces?
The leader couldn't figure out the answers to these questions even if he racked his brains.
The ancients said that one could take the head of a general amidst ten thousand troops, but Chen Xiao was taking the head of a general from a thousand miles away.
This assassination ability was terrifyingly formidable, perhaps unique in the entire world.
While feeling shocked, the leader also felt fortunate.
Fortunately, such a figure was on their side. If he were an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And now, the ones who would have a headache were probably those on the enemy side.
"Heh heh, I naturally have my ways."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, without further explanation.
"It seems that what you want to do, we cannot stop..."
After pondering for a long time, the leader finally uttered these words of 'weakness' towards Chen Xiao.
While it appeared to be a show of weakness, it was actually a form of persuasion.
"Leader, you don't have to worry, I won't go too far."
"Well... that's good."
Even so, how to measure the line between going too far and not going too far was still up to Chen Xiao!
However, Chen Xiao and the leader had reached a preliminary understanding.
Both sides were very satisfied with this, and it was a happy occasion for all.
After chatting for a while longer, the leader had to leave. He was extremely busy and could not spend all his time on the matter of the Heavenly Strategy Army.
In fact, his personal visit to the Heavenly Strategy Army camp to investigate this matter was already showing great respect to those old guys.
After seeing off the leader and his entourage, Xiao Zhan looked at Chen Xiao with great surprise: "Brother Chen, what did the leader say to you? I've never seen him so happy!"
He had been worried that the two would clash, as one held great power and the other possessed supreme strength, and both were strong-willed individuals.
However, to his surprise, not only did they not fall out, but the leader left with a beaming smile, as if he had won the lottery.
What kind of charm did Chen Xiao possess?
He did not know that having Chen Xiao was a blessing for the entire country, and it was much more worth celebrating than winning the lottery.
Chen Xiao smiled mysteriously: "Are you sure you want to know?"
Hearing Chen Xiao say this, Xiao Zhan quickly shook his head: "If it involves state secrets, then forget it."
Chen Xiao laughed heartily and briefly recounted what had happened to Xiao Zhan.
After hearing it, Xiao Zhan was stunned, but considering that it was Chen Xiao... well, it seemed to make sense instantly.
After all, there was nothing this kid couldn't do.
"By the way, Chen Xiao, you said earlier that you had something to tell me, what was it?"
Xiao Zhan finally remembered that Chen Xiao had something to tell him.
"Military God Xiao, I hope you will leave the Heavenly Strategy Army."
Chen Xiao's words stunned Xiao Zhan: "This, this is... the leader's intention?"
Seeing his reaction, Chen Xiao quickly explained: "This has nothing to do with the leader. It's my personal idea, and your leaving the Heavenly Strategy Army is only temporary."
