Hegemons Call-out System

Chapter 278 - Former Comrades

When Long Xuan returned to Luo Lan's office, he was shocked by Long Xuan's appearance. Looking at his pair of blood red eyes, Luo Lan's entire body released a strong killing intent, which made her feel like he was suffocating. She looked at the man in front of his with a terrified expression.

Just when she thought she was about to suffocate and lose all hope, she heard Long Xuan say in a cold voice, "Luozhen, I want to ask for a period of leave. I have very urgent matters to attend to right now, so I ask for your permission."

Luo Lan stared fixedly at the man in front of her with her devilish eyes. Even though her breathing made her uncomfortable, her heart appeared to be extremely calm, and all the blood in her body was boiling.

After feeling that powerful killing intent disappear, Luo Lan rested her two hands on the table, her entire body drenched in sweat as she panted heavily. She did not answer Long Xuan's question, but rather, after she calmed down a bit, she saw that Long Xuan had actually sat down on her Cheng'er, with her beautiful eyes never leaving Long Xuan's body.

She lightly patted her chest, then looked at Long Xuan and asked. "How much time do I need for a vacation?"

Long Xuan had always been observing the peerless beauty sitting in front of him. Although he still had not figured out what intentions this woman had towards him, he instinctively felt that this woman in front of him was definitely not as simple as what he saw in front of him. Thus, the moment he entered, he immediately displayed the ancient martial arts techniques from Earth.

But now, he no longer had the need to hide his special identity. He urgently wanted to know if his comrades from before were doing well. This was the first thing he needed to know.

Hearing the other party's ice-cold voice, Long Xuan more or less had a bit of confidence. He really didn't want that innocent person to be harmed again. So Long Xuan couldn't help but explain: "Luozhen, I don't know how much time it will take, but if it doesn't work, I will just resign."

Looking at Long Xuan's determined expression, she smiled and said: "It's fine, if you have anything to do, go and take care of it. I'll find someone to replace you here first, you can drive to my car in the car park downstairs.

After Long Xuan heard Luo Lan's words, he pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then, many thanks Luozhen." Although he didn't understand the purpose of this beauty in front of him, it was obvious that she didn't have any ill intentions. She really did need a car for her business and the mission here wasn't completed yet, so she had left him a lot of leeway.

When Long Xuan stood in the underground parking lot and saw this silver Lamborghini ConceptS convertible, he suddenly understood Luo Lan's intention. Even though he had seen this sports car from afar, he still knew what kind of weight this model held in the present world. This kind of top grade limitless sports car was not something that money could own, but it was still a symbol of status, and what he did not expect was that Luo Lan would be the true owner of this car.

Long Xuan stood at the side of the carriage and could not help but reveal a wry smile. He no longer cared about Luo Lan's identity, the most important thing for him to do now was to look at his former comrades.

Luo Lan stood in the large office with her hands folded across her chest, looking at the rapidly speeding silver sports car, her calm face revealed a trace of a smile.

Silver Star Bar was a very run-down bar in Huzhong City. It had existed for more than 20 years, and after its owner introduced a cocktail called "Tears", this small bar became the place where all the sad couples in the city would linger.

Old Tang was this bar's owner's name. Ever since he came here and opened this bar 20 years ago, he had never left this place. It was just that he adopted a little girl 10 years ago, and this little girl's name was Xiu Er.

At this moment, in the main hall of the bar, a middle-aged man in his fifties was quietly sitting at the bar counter. At this moment, he was using a towel to silently wipe the silver medal in his hands, while his eyes were staring blankly at a plate of chrysanthemums on the bar. His actions had already persisted for the entire morning, and a young lady in a white dress was sitting not far away from him. There were no outsiders in the entire bar, because it was not the time for the restaurant to be open for business, so naturally, the people who could sit inside the bar were the bar's owner, Old Tang, and his daughter, Xiu Er.

She knew what it meant to her father today. Twenty years ago, that promise had caused her father to stay in this bar for a whole twenty odd years, and even though she did not know how much of the people from back then would return, after that disaster ten years ago, her father had found her and adopted her. However, her birth parents would never be able to come here again.

She knew that her father and her current adoptive father were comrades-in-arms, but she had never seen him since she was young. After her father met with troubles in her family ten years ago, her adoptive father had appeared in front of her and brought her here to live like a normal child. She had given up on living a superior life in the outside world and had voluntarily returned to this bar today.

Ever since she was young, she had been most afraid of her father sitting there in silence. Every time she saw his terrifying silence, she would feel an indescribable pain in her heart.

Old Tang retracted his gaze, and let out a soft sigh. He gently put down the silver-white badge and towel in his hands, then smiled lightly at Xiu Er. "Why did you come back to accompany an old man like me?"

Xiu Er looked at Old Tang who had returned back to normal and couldn't help but chuckle. She stood up and went over to Old Tang's side, she gently hugged him and said, "Old Tang, I can't bear to leave you."

Old Tang looked at Xiu Er, lightly patted Xiu Er's small hands, and said with a slight smile. "It's been four years since we last met, and my Xiu Er has already grown into a big girl."

Xiu Er smiled slightly, she had a kind of unknown respect for her foster father, who had always kept his promise. Even though she did not know the specifics of the promise, she knew that this adopted father of hers had done it. A person who had persisted for twenty years for the sake of their own promise, regardless of the reason, was someone that he respected.

Xiu Er had seen too many schemes and plots in the past few years, and had also seen the warmth of the human world.

She looked at the medal on the bar and smiled at Old Tang, "Comrade Tang, why are you wiping that medal again today?"

Old Tang looked at the medal and sighed, "I'm afraid no one will remember this medal now." His tone was filled with disappointment and melancholy.

Xiu Er picked up the medal, and couldn't help but be a little taken aback, because her biological father also had an identical medal. She didn't know what this medal represented, but she had seen her father and her foster father's deep feelings towards this medal, so she was not unfamiliar with it.

She gently stroked the silver medal, because she had her father's medal with her.

Just when the two of them were silent, the sound of footsteps came from outside the bar. When Old Tang heard the sound, his usually cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and stared at the door of the bar.

Xiu Er clearly felt Old Tang's change, and she opened her eyes in shock as she looked at her adoptive father, Old Tang. Right at this moment, a figure slowly walked into the bar, a young man slowly raised his head and looked at Old Tang, and then, slowly walked to the front of the bar, and sat down on top of a tall orange, in front of Old Tang, lightly gestured a few times. Seeing these actions, Old Tang, who was initially on guard, suddenly trembled, and stared at the action in the hands of Old Tang, his mouth opening and closing, as the young man once again made a gesture.

The young man also performed a solemn military salute towards Tang Ming with tears in his eyes, and called out: "Lieutenant Tang Ming, Silver Star Squadron Captain Long Xuan agrees to let you join the team."

When Tang Ming heard the young man's words, his face was filled with disbelief as he looked at Long Xuan. His lips were trembling slightly, but it was obvious that he was not at peace in his heart.

"Yes," Tang Ming used all of his strength to shout out. When he saw the current Long Xuan, he immediately knew that they had spent a lot of money in place of him, and suddenly rushed over to hug Long Xuan, and shouted: "Captain, you're finally back."

Long Xuan also hugged Tang Ming tightly and nodded seriously, "I'm back."

Xiu Er was far away, and she caressed her small mouth with her hand, looking at everything that was happening before her with a look of disbelief. She was filled with astonishment at what was happening, and when she looked at the young man who was around her age, she had a very good impression of him.
