Chapter 8

It wasn’t until Gu Huan returned to the lounge that he remembered that there was a new deputy chief instructor behind him.

This deputy chief instructor was specially sent by the old marshal to help him because he was afraid that he would encounter some unexpected situation due to his mental state and could not solve it. Since it was specially arranged for him, he had to give him some face. 

“I’m sorry, this happened when you just came here.”

Yue Yang was dealing with the follow-up incident and there was no one behind Gu Huan

He sat on the sofa with some annoyance, propped his head and closed his eyes to rest.

It’s not because he was really upset by something, but mainly because this person followed him, and he was very restless. 

Chu Xinglin broke the silence.

“General Gu, what do you think of the current aristocratic system?”

“…”

Gu Huan didn’t reply for a while, Chu Xinglin asked and answered by himself,

“If it’s for power, it’s okay to praise the stinky feet of those nobles. Betray your friends, break your spine, as long as you have power, you can do anything.”

This answer seemed to have touched a certain sore spot of the general, he suddenly opened his eyes, and stared at Chu Xinglin with some kind of emotion burning from those golden glazed pupils.

Chu Xinglin didn’t waver and asked back.

“What did I say wrongly, General?” 

Of course Chu Xinglin didn’t think so, he deliberately said it for Gu Huan to hear.

He knew that he shouldn’t be so aggressive, he should crawl forward like every outstanding predator in the world, and finally bite the neck of the prey, giving him a fatal blow, instead of poking the other’s sore spot again and again, but facing Gu Huan, he just couldn’t calm down. He wanted to tear off the other party’s mask, why did he even want to see the other party’s angry eyes? Those cold golden eyes were more like a lively person when dyed with anger.

“No, you said nothing wrong.”

Gu Huan’s eyes were as cold as metal with edges, shining with an indifferent metallic luster. 

“But the method of flattery is too low-end, and it will never climb to the height of stepping them down.”

Chu Xinglin’s throat moved slightly.

“Then what to do, General?”

Gu Huan’s voice didn’t fluctuate. “Don’t treat yourself like a dog, otherwise, even if you become a famous dog, no one will take you seriously.” 

“…”

Chu Xinglin looked at those eyes that were as dazzling as falling stars.

He is very sure of one thing.

If he was told in the end that the other party only joined the Imperial Uncle for the sake of power, he would be very disappointed. 

That would tarnish those beautiful eyes.

Gu Huan’s order quickly got feedback.

“A clue has been found.”

“Someone stole our internal data…” 

“Ktf qfgrbc ktb mjqaegfv atf ybs rtbeiv yf gfijafv ab atf lcafgrafiijg qlgjafr kf tecafv vbkc fjgilfg.”

“Ktf batfg qjgas wjs tjnf jc lcrlvfg. Dea kf tjnfc’a yffc jyif ab olcv atja lcrlvfg sfa.”

Interstellar pirates?

“On the way to imprison the interstellar pirates, a group of them escaped. The military department just found out about it.”

On the way to fight against the interstellar pirates, the prince was sucked by the black hole due to the energy loss of the mech. The original owner could help but watched him fall into the black hole. Only a few people knew about it. Most people only knew that the prince was missing. Fortunately, there was reinforcement from the original owner, who successfully rescued a batch of imperial secret weapons from the interstellar pirates and protected the rights and interests of the Imperial Alliance. Promoting him to general.

Including the interstellar pirates themselves thought so.

So after the prince disappeared, Gu Huan became the main target of revenge for the interstellar pirates. 

Gu Huan raised his forehead, his black hair fell from between his fingers, his eyebrows and eyes sank.

“Their target is me.”

One life for another.

Exchange hostages. 

They are already desperados and will demand anything their toes can think of.

The monitoring screen suddenly flickered continuously, and Gu Huan raised his head in silence.

There was only a short line of words on the blue screen.

“Tonight at eight o’clock. Come alone to the abandoned lighthouse. Someone will tell you the location of the student. Don’t play tricks. I know exactly which soldiers are around you. Bring one more, and his life will be lost.” 

“General, you can’t go alone.” Yue Yang wanted to stop Gu Huan.

It was very risky, and if you think about it rationally, you shouldn’t go. It was not worth the general’s life just for a student. They can investigate again and send troops directly to destroy their hiding place. Much better than Gu Huan taking the risk himself.

“In the case of unequal information, if I take any of you, I will threaten the life of that student.” Gu Huan asserted.

Yue Yang clenched his fists tightly. 

Of course he knew that the student’s life might be in danger.

“But…” The values ​​of the two were completely different.

Gu Huan raised his hand to stop him, but in the second half of the sentence, he himself is not the holy father.

But as the protagonist, the other party really cannot die. If his butterfly wings wiped out the protagonist, the Zerg swarm afterward would definitely be a big trouble. 

If it was another person today, and the prince was the one kidnapped here, he would definitely save him.

Even if he wanted to kill him in the future.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to die.”

Nie Chuan didn’t know how he endured the initial hunger. The kidnappers didn’t want him to live at all. 

There, they talked about what kind of villain the general he admired was, and that it was impossible for him to come to rescue him.

“How could the chief instructor be the kind of villain you mentioned.” Nie Chuan laid on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, angrily defending his idol. “He will definitely come to save me.”

“Of course we want him to come. He’s costing us money and life.”

“Then why you still scold him!” Nie Chuan raised his head abruptly. 

“We want him to come and we also want to call him a villain. We are not his little fans, are you angry?”

The vicious pirates pinned Nie Chuan to the ground.

Spit.

Then stood up. 

“Boss, do you think Gu Huan will really come?”

“Who knows, anyway, if he doesn’t come, we’ll kill this brat and throw him in front of his starship, ruining his reputation.”

Nie Chuan didn’t know whether he fainted from angry or from fright.

Before he fainted, he seemed to hear a familiar voice, but when he rolled his eyes, he had already fainted. 

“I am coming.”

A cold voice came from the door.

At the door, stood a black-haired man who seemed out of place here. He had a dignified manner, a calm and self-possessed look, wearing a broad military uniform, standing in the abandoned wasteland, dazzling like a pearl that had unfortunately fallen into the mud.

“How is it possible!” The pirate leader was dumbfounded. 

The location he told Gu Huan was not accurate to any room at all, how did Gu Huan accurately search for the room where they kidnapped people?

This was actually not a problem at all.

It was only recently that Gu Huan discovered that his general state was indeed of an SS spiritual talent like the original owner, but as long as he performed the meditation that wizards in his previous life would have done in advance, and used that magic to enhance his spiritual power, the equipment used for military training could no longer detect his mental power threshold, so he could only roughly estimate that his mental power exceeded the SSS level.

As a former half-elf and former wizard, although many spells cannot be performed because of the different rules of the world, he has already led the entire world in terms of mental power alone. 

It was actually very easy to use mental power to explore the place where Nie Chuan was tied up tens of meters away.

Of course he would not go through the front door openly, he would go wherever the defense was weak.

Adding the two masterminds there, there were only seven people in total.

Gu Huan walked over a few steps, and the pirates sneered. 

“Gu Huan! Don’t think that we will be afraid of you if you come alone. There are seven of us.”

At the weakest point, there were still seven people.

This was indeed something Gu Huan hadn’t expected at all.

But it’s better than being surrounded by more than thirty people at the door. 

He had to rescue Nie Chuan before the thirty or so people rushed here.

The reason why he didn’t use a mecha was because of the rule of the Imperial Alliance. In non-wartime except special circumstances such as Zerg attacks, mecha-type weapons were not allowed to be used inside planets, otherwise the license to use mechas would be revoked.

He gracefully jumped over a gleaming energy gun bullet sideways, tens of thousands of ballistic trajectories were printed in his golden eyes, his body curved slightly, avoiding every bullet in a simple way. The silky black hair exuded a perfect arc, and the relaxed and fearless attitude of not taking the seven of them seriously made the pirate leader angry.

“This is impossible!” 

If he was in the world of Western Fantasy, he would definitely hear someone telling him in a sigh, he must not underestimate a half-elf, but unfortunately he was in the interstellar world, no one would tell him why someone could do such a non-human operation.

The swinging black army robe scraped the dust.

An energy gun landed on the head of the pirate leader.

The remaining six people had already fallen to the ground. 

“I… I surrender.”

His eyes were rolling, and he must have some worse ideas in his heart, but Gu Huan had no time to pay attention.

Because the main character behind this chief pirate looked like he was dying.

He was always in a daze, motionless, who knew whether he was dead or alive. 

Threatening the pirate leader with a gun in one hand, Gu Huan lowered his eyes and called softly.

“Classmate Nie.”

“Classmate Nie?”

The student lying on the ground did not respond. 

“Hahaha, it’s useless, neither of you can get out alive.”

“I have already notified my thirty brothers to come here, and they should have surrounded this place by now. You are amazing, and easily dealt with the seven people here, but you absolutely cannot leave this place alive.”

Gu Huan frowned slightly.

“I still have you as a hostage. Do you think I care about the dozens of people outside the door?” 

“Hahaha, in order to kill you to avenge the other brothers, we have agreed long ago that no matter what the price is, if my life can be exchanged for yours, my brothers will never be soft.”

You are very righteous.

There were good and bad interstellar pirates. If it weren’t for the fact that what this pirates did before was all about seeking money and killing people, Gu Huan wanted them to add him in after he left the Imperial Alliance.

With more than thirty people, it will indeed take a little time. 

Gu Huan’s face was still calm, a golden light flashed across his eyes, and he looked in the direction of the gate from the corner of his eye.

But it doesn’t seem to cost much.

The bandit leader noticed something strange.

“Why are you so calm?” 

The door between the warehouses of the lighthouse was suddenly opened.

“General, I seem to have won again.”
