Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

In the waiting room, the tapping sounds kept resounding. Delia looked toward Tang Shaoyang, her man had an expressionless look on his face. But deep down, she knew that he was pissed off.

"Hah… We are wasting our time here," Tang Shaoyang muttered as the tapped sound stopped.

"Should we leave now?" Zhang Mengyao asked as she had also become impatient.

They had been waiting for half an hour, but there were still no words from Major General Shi Yan. These people did not inform anything about what this General Major Shi Yan had been doing and how long they had to wait.

They were just left in this waiting room for half an hour. It was clear that these people were doing this intentionally.

"Let's leave," Elin agreed immediately. She noticed there were a few holes on the wooden table. This was one time she spent her time with him, she did not want to spend the remaining time with him being angry or ending up in a bloody battle.

"What about joining the Jiaxing team? I heard the area is wilder than the city. Let's go there, maybe I can find some new herbs for my new recipe," She suggested to change the mood.

Delia's eyes brightened, she also heard Jiaxing had become a wild forest. She wanted to go there to hunt some beasts. Since she had gotten a new class, she had not been trying the actual hunting yet.

Delia's class was Hunter, but she was spending her time in the kitchen. There was no hunting ground in SH City. She wanted to prove her usefulness as a Hunter.

"Since this is what they want, let's start something as well," He then called Wen through the System Communication, "Meet me in front of the SZ City's base."

After saying that, he and the girls left the room. As soon as he came out of the room, there were two people in black suits guarding the entrance.

"Sir, where are you going? You are not allowed to wander around in our base," one of the guards approached Tang Shaoyang and warned him.

"Don't work, I am not going to wander around in your base. We are leaving!" Tang Shaoyang replied flatly as he went to the elevator to the right.

This time the two guards blocked Tang Shaoyang together, "I am sorry but you are not allowed to leave either! We are tasked to make sure you don't leave the room!"

The guard raised his tone to the point of threatening Tang Shaoyang. The guard even tried to show the handgun and the sword on his waist.

Elinova massaged the space between her eyes. She could not believe she heard those words from the guards. The two guards were telling her man that they were actually prisoners instead of guests despite the formal invitation from the leader of this base.

She might only know her man for a short time, like almost three months. But she knew one thing for sure about her man: he had a short temper and was impulsive. He would solve his issues with violence more than talking.

Tang Shaoyang's expressionless face took a sudden change. He was suddenly grinning at the two guards, "And what if I insist on leaving?"

"We will have to stop…" before the guard finished their words, Tang Shaoyang took a step closer and put his hands on the two guards' shoulders.

His action was too fast for the two guards to react in time. The two guards suddenly felt a huge force on their shoulders, forcing them to kneel. The two tried to fight back, but Tang Shaoyang was just too strong for the two.

Tang Shaoyang pushed them until the two guards laid down on the ground.

"ARGHHHH!!!" Not long after, the two guards screamed, bawling in pain. The two felt their shoulders were about to get crushed.

The grip was getting stronger and stronger, they struggled but failed to break free. The two tried to reach their weapons, but the grips suddenly became stronger.

The cracking sound, an indication the bone was breaking resounded. Along with that, the two guards were bawling even harder.

"Forgive me! Forgive me! I am just following the order!"

The two guards started to plead for their lives. The pain was too much for them to bear. The scream attracted the people on the same floor. People started to gather, and when they saw the situation, people were alarmed.

While the people with guns pointed their guns at Tang Shaoyang, the others started to call for help.

"What's the meaning of this?" Major Lan rushed out and questioned Tang Shaoyang who was holding his two people down.

Major Lan's eyes constricted as he saw his two trusted men were getting pinned down. He could not believe that two people with Level 51 and Level 53 respectively were so powerless before this man.

"Funny you ask me, shouldn't that be my line?" Tang Shaoyang grinned at Major Lan as he released his grips on the two pitiful guards, "What's the meaning of this? Why can't I leave this place? Am I your prisoner now?"

"If I remember correctly, Major General Shi Yan invited me to talk? Why do we get treated like a capture?"

"I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but there are restricted places you can't enter, so we ask you to stay in the waiting room instead," Major Lan tried to clear the 'misunderstanding'.

Tang Shaoyang could tell this was planned by these people. They wanted to return what he did to the people who came to his place. However, he never treated them like a captive.

"But I am not going to walk around your base, we are leaving," Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Surely you are not going to prevent us from leaving, right?"

"Leaving? Do you mean by leaving, you will leave the base?" Major Lan was not expecting this to come. He made a surprised face when he heard that.

"Yes! What's the point of coming here if you are just going to confine me in that room?" Tang Shaoyang pointed at the room he just left with his thumb, "I am not going to waste my time by playing your game, so better I am leaving now."

"But… don't you come here to talk…" Major Lan did not finish his words as Tang Shaoyang cut in.

"Are you deaf or what? I am not going to wait any longer, I am leaving," Tang Shaoyang looked at Major Lan's eyes, "Unless you are going to prevent me from leaving, I am going to use force!"

After saying that, Tang Shaoyang walked toward the elevator. The people looked toward Major Lan. They were asking his instructions on what they should do.

Major Lan Shook his head, indicating the people to let Tang Shaoyang and his group leave. But then an old voice rang, "What happened here!?"

Major Lan recognized the voice, his pupil constricted. He immediately straightened his back and rushed toward the voice. The voice belonged to Major General Shi Yan.

Tang Shaoyang ignored the voice, but the people who tried to give a path for him suddenly came forward and blocked him.

He halted his steps and looked back. Two men, one was the person who guided him and the other one was an old man, "What's the meaning of this? Are you going to prevent us from leaving?" Zhang Mengyao questioned Major Lan as she straight ignored the old man.

Even though she should have known that the old man held a higher position from the way they were walking toward them. Major Lan was following the old man from behind. However, she intentionally ignored the old man.

General Major Shi Yan glanced at Zhang Mengyao before he looked back at Tang Shaoyang, "Are you perhaps Leader Tang from the SH City's base?" The old man asked with a smile, ignoring Zhang Mengyao's question.

Since the old man ignored Zhang Mengyao, he also ignored the old man. The atmosphere between the two became awkward, but Major Lan made a furious look. He could not take it when his superior was being ignored like this.

Major General Shi Yan maintained his smile as he did not take this as an offense, "I am Major General Shi Yan, the person who invited you to come," the old man offered his hand.

Since the old man offered his hand, Tang Shaoyang reached out, "Tang Shaoyang, the first Emperor of the Tang Empire."

The old man tried to deny his empire's existence by saying he was the leader of the SH City's base instead of mentioning his empire. So he shamelessly introduced himself as an emperor instead.

Sure enough, Major General Shi Yan was stunned for a moment. The old man was clearly not expecting this would come from the man.

The old man tried to hide it as he forced a stiff smile out, "I thought we were going to discuss our corporation."

"I don't have the interest to proceed to the discussion, and…" Tang Shaoyang scanned the old man from the top to bottom, "I have achieved my goal to visit the establishment, to find what kind of person Major General Shi Yan is."

"I get the gist of what kind of person you are, so there's no need for further discussion. I think we can't get along, let alone work together."

"So, it's better to go a separate way," Tang Shaoyang then looked through behind, looking toward Major Lan, "And I will remember what you have done to us just now!"

Major General Shi Yan clenched his palm into a fist despite his neutral expression. He lost his smile, but he did not show his emotion on his face.

"So if you don't mind, can I leave now?" Tang Shaoyang tilted his head slightly and smiled at the old man.

Major General Shi Yan nodded his head as he gestured to his people to make a path for Tang Shaoyang to leave.

"You made a wise choice," Tang Shaoyang said in a regretful tone as he turned away, walking toward the elevator.

Major General Shi Yan looked toward the back of the young man. As the elevator door closed, he could see Tang Shaoyang was smiling at him. It was a taunting smile.

No one tried to block Tang Shaoyang and the girls as they made their way to the entrance. A big crowd gathered at the entrance of the base.

The reason these people gathered here was because of Wen. The Jade Eagle suddenly landed in front of their base, so it alarmed the people in the base. To the people's surprise, the beast talked. It said it was Tang Shaoyang's subordinate, so the people did not attack the beast even though everyone was ready with their weapon in case the beast wreaked havoc.

Wen came in the beast form, the five meters long beast and three meters tall. It was quite massive in size.

As soon as Tang Shaoyang was on sight, Wen lowered himself. The four people got on Wen's back and the group left through the air.

"What about our car?" Delia was concerned with their car.

"We have many of them, why would we care about one car?" Tang Shaoyang shrugged.

Meanwhile, on the floor where Tang Shaoyang just left. The crowd was still there, but the atmosphere was quite grim. Everyone was looking down to the floor, no one dared to raise their head after what just happened.

"What are you guys doing still here!?" Major General Shi Yan's deep voice rang, breaking the silence, "Go back to your station and continue your work!"

As soon as the words flowed out the old man's mouth, the crowd immediately dispersed, leaving three people behind.

The three people were Major Lan Jianhong and the two guards who had their shoulders cracked. They were ignored and they could not get up on their own. Just moving their body would give them intense pain.

"Lan Jianhong! Meet me in my room. Get those two a proper treatment before you come to meet me!" After saying that, Major General Shi Yan also left.
