Chapter 480: Just Talk
"Damn! The Free Federation people are such idiots!"
As the ninth squad exited the eting room.
The mbers couldn’t help but curse.
The Free Federation people were still the sa, acting recklessly as always.
This mission was already difficult enough.
And now this bunch of jerks had to make things worse.
Ling Zhan walked calmly at the front, his mind racing with thoughts.
The mission was indeed difficult.
The challenge wasn’t just about eliminating the dozens of Demon Arrival mbers.
It was about doing so without causing any casualties among the civilians.
At this level.
The enemy were all third-tier professionals. Even though the Demon Arrival mbers might have inflated strength and levels, a single skill from them could blow up half of the shopping mall.
At that point.
Countless civilians would undoubtedly be caught in the crossfire.
And the key was that they couldn’t evacuate ahead of ti, for fear of alerting the enemy.
If those lunatics realized their cover was blown, the first thing they’d do is take the civilians in the mall as hostages.
By then, the situation would be critical.
Mishandling it could lead to the ninth squad being heavily criticized.
Don’t forget...
It wasn’t just Dragon Kingdom’s army stationed at the Hundred Ghosts Fortress and other Fusang front lines.
Other nations' armies were here too.
And of course...
Their dia teams were as well.
If they spun the story, blaming Dragon Kingdom for a disaster, it’d be hard to handle.
Ling Zhan had co to realize one thing.
This mission was essentially a test of his abilities as the new squad captain.
The higher-ups were using this as a trial to gauge him.
"Excuse ."
Just as Ling Zhan and his team were about to return to their residence to discuss the plan.
A slightly raspy voice called out.
They turned to see.
It was the short Fusang woman with dead-fish eyes, wearing a sailor uniform—Matsuda Rika.
At this mont.
She had chased after them alone.
"What is it?"
Zhou Xue'er frowned and asked.
Matsuda Rika.
Level 82, Heart of the Martial Soul.
A third-tier warrior class.
"Zhou Xue'er, I wish to discuss sothing with your captain."
Matsuda Rika bowed in typical Fusang politeness.
Her tone was respectful, a supplicant's attitude.
Zhou Xue'er glanced at Ling Zhan.
Ling Zhan asked indifferently, "Is it about the mission?"
"Yes."
"Please, Ling Zhan, I beg of you. I know that Jonathan is unreliable. He doesn’t care about the lives of the Fusang people, and negotiating with him will lead nowhere."
Matsuda Rika said earnestly.
"Then you’re looking for the wrong person."
"Because honestly, I don’t care about the lives of the Fusang people either."
Ling Zhan responded coldly.
Matsuda Rika: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
Wow.
That was blunt.
Matsuda Rika’s dead-fish eyes dimd as she looked puzzled, "Why? Do you hold so special grudge against Fusang?"
Seeing her expression.
Ling Zhan realized that the history of this transferred world was entirely different from that of his previous life.
But so what?
It didn’t stop Ling Zhan from disliking these people.
Liking soone doesn’t require a reason.
Likewise.
Disliking a group of people doesn’t need a reason either.
"I sincerely wish to discuss this with you, Ling Zhan, because I’ve heard from my comrades that you defeated our captain in an instant."
"I believe if you put your full strength into it, you can easily eliminate those Demon Arrival mbers."
Matsuda Rika’s eyes even showed a hint of admiration as she looked at Ling Zhan.
The "captain" she referred to.
Was probably Goto Rin, the elder sister of Goto Momoka.
After what happened, it’s likely all the Ghost-Slaying Corps mbers were now aware of Ling Zhan’s terrifying strength.
To her words.
Ling Zhan simply looked at her and asked, "Do you have detailed intel on the Demon Arrival mbers?"
"Yes!"
Matsuda Rika quickly nodded, delighted.
"I an their recent activities, habits, dietary preferences, hobbies—those kinds of details!" Ling Zhan said.
"Huh?"
"That detailed?"
Matsuda Rika was completely dumbfounded.
Not just her.
Even the Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad mbers were dumbfounded.
This...
They could understand needing activity tracking.
But dietary preferences, habits, and hobbies? What was that about?
How was that useful?
They knew the enemy’s identity and goal; couldn’t they just figure out how to complete the mission?
It’s not like they were dating these Demon Arrival mbers!
Seeing Matsuda Rika’s stunned expression, Ling Zhan sighed heavily.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Moreover...
Those seemingly trivial details could be the key to the mission's success in Ling Zhan’s eyes.
"Ling Zhan, please don’t be disappointed!"
"I’ll have our operatives in the shopping mall focus on gathering those details!"
"Don’t worry! It’ll only take half a day!"
"We even have two people who’ve beco close friends with a couple of Demon Arrival mbers!"
"They often go out for drinks and barbecue together, and even..."
At this point.
Matsuda Rika’s face turned red.
"Go to brothels together, right?"
Zhou Xue'er said flatly.
"Um..."
Matsuda Rika nodded.
"Hmph! n are all the sa!"
Zhou Xue'er couldn’t help but sneer.
She even glanced at Ling Zhan.
Ling Zhan felt inexplicably targeted.
"Go, gather the detailed intel I asked for in half a day."
"I’ll co up with the rescue plan."
Ling Zhan said calmly.
"Understood!"
Matsuda Rika bead, her dead-fish eyes even sparkling.
But then she hesitated and returned, asking, "What about the Free Federation mbers..."
"Kill them."
Ling Zhan’s cold voice ca again.
"Oh, okay, kill—"
"Wait, what!?"
Matsuda Rika’s eyes widened in shock.
Even Zhou Xue'er and the rest of the team were completely stunned!
It felt like they must’ve misheard!
Kill...
Kill them?
Isn’t that a bit...
"Ling Zhan, please be cautious! You can’t just kill them! You’d be tried at the International Job Transfer Court!"
Matsuda Rika quickly urged.
"I’m just talking, is talking illegal?"
"I also said I want to kill the Fusang leader. What, can’t I even joke?"
Ling Zhan sneered.
However.
The third-year mbers, who knew Ling Zhan’s personality well, stayed silent.
Because they knew, with Ling Zhan...
That wasn’t just a joke!
