Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254 Star Sea (59)
Wang Chen discreetly observed the group of strangers in the living room.
This dorm belonged to Ming i.
A year ago, Wang Chen officially got together with Ming i, and then he moved into Ming i’s dorm to live together.
Because the conditions of Ming i’s dorm were much better than his.
The security at the First Military Academy was very strict, and the dorm doors required multiple verifications to open. Outsiders couldn’t get in without permission, not even with a cha.
So what was up with this group of n?
Wang Chen noticed three young n in their twenties and a middle-aged man in formal attire.
Each of the three young n was tall and strong, exuding an aura that ordinary people couldn’t possess, and the middle-aged man’s nobility was very apparent.
Most importantly, they all looked about sixty to seventy percent alike, seemingly a father-son or brotherly relationship!
“Are you Wang Chen?”
Just as Wang Chen was contemplating, the middle-aged nobleman stood up and said in a deep voice, “I am Baron Ming Yibang, Ming i’s father, and these three are Ming i’s brothers!”
Wang Chen was slightly surprised but remained composed and politely said, “Hello, Uncle.”
He had heard from Tang Mo that Ming i had a very formidable father and three brothers. Although Ming i was an illegitimate daughter, she was still quite favored in the family.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to attend the First Military Academy.
However, Ming i rarely talked about her family, and Wang Chen didn’t particularly ask.
He hadn’t expected her father and brothers to co, looking aggressive and eager to question him.
Wang Chen was a little surprised.
Because he and Ming i had been living together for a year and were only eting them today—such a delayed reaction, wasn’t it?
After all, their relationship was completely open, with nothing hidden from anyone.
Of course, this didn’t prevent Wang Chen from calmly facing his girlfriend’s family.
Ming Yibang snorted coldly and said, “Over the past year, I’ve been on the border star, and it was only recently that I learned my beloved daughter got herself a boyfriend.”
He scrutinized Wang Chen with a slightly dissatisfied look in his eyes, “I brought Ming i’s brothers here today to see just how outstanding the boy she likes is…”
The result was clearly disappointing.
Because Wang Chen was neither tall nor handso, just an average-looking war orphan.
He had no family background to speak of.
The only comndable thing was Wang Chen’s status as a C-class War Professional. For his age, he deserved to be called a martial prodigy, and as long as he didn’t fall midway, his future prospects were limitless.
The problem was, Wang Chen held another identity, that of an Imperial Army trainee.
He would ultimately have to enlist.
And as the specter of war lood closer to the Empire, a large-scale conflict with the Alliance could break out at any mont.
Once war broke out and the front was stretched, trainees like Wang Chen were highly likely to be conscripted into service early.
With no background, he would, at best, be an ordinary officer, and the chances of staying safe in a backline position with his specialization were slim. The likelihood of dying prematurely was high.
Faced with such a situation, how could Ming Yibang, who cherished Ming i like a jewel, be willing to watch his daughter jump into Wang Chen’s fire pit!
He had co today to break up the couple.
And Ming i’s three brothers exchanged glances, clenching their fists, ready to pull their “blind” sister back from the abyss.
Wang Chen ignored these clumsy guys, looked around, and asked, “Where is Ming i?”
“Don’t worry about her.”
Ming Yibang irritably waved his hand, “She’s reflecting in her bedroom right now. Let’s talk, I think you…”
Before he could finish the words “aren’t suitable for her,” the Imperial Baron suddenly fell silent.
And his three sons were left with their mouths agape, utterly unable to believe their eyes.
The atmosphere in the room instantly beca extrely subtle.
Because Wang Chen had just pulled out a badge and placed it on his chest.
The badge’s radiance nearly blinded four pairs of eyes!
Wang Chen smiled slightly and extended his hand to Ming Yibang, “Uncle, allow to introduce myself. I’m Wang Chen, a double major in Heavy Assault and Ground Warfare at the Imperial First Military Academy, an A-class War Professional, and a mber of the Taiwu Star Combatant Elite Group.”
“Very pleased to et you!”
This wasn’t the first ti Wang Chen had flaunted a badge.
And experience proved that a technique need not be new; it just has to work!
An A-class War Professional!
Ming Yibang couldn’t have imagined in his wildest dreams that the young man he intended to subdue was actually an A-class War Professional, not the C-class that the data showed.
Although there’s just a B-class gap between A-class and C-class, the significance represented by both is worlds apart!
A twenty-year-old A-class War Professional couldn’t simply be terd a genius; such an exceptional young man would inevitably draw attention from high-levels in the Empire, no longer easily thrown to the frontlines as cannon fodder.
Most importantly, an A-class War Professional’s status was by no ans inferior to an Imperial Baron like him!
For once, Ming Yibang felt embarrassed, his face turning slightly red. Hesitating for a mont, he finally clasped Wang Chen’s hand, “Forgive .”
After all, he was an exceedingly shrewd nobleman. Once he put down his pride, he continued with a wry smile, “Sir Wang Chen, today I was a little blunt. You liking Ming i is truly her blessing!”
As he spoke, Ming Yibang signaled to his sons.
One of them got the ssage and quickly opened the bedroom door.
A tear-streaked Ming i imdiately rushed out.
The scene that t her eyes left the heartbroken girl dumbstruck — what was happening?
Her father was not confronting Wang Chen angrily but instead shaking hands cordially and exchanging small talk, the atmosphere incredibly harmonious.
Ming Yibang released Wang Chen’s hand and said to his daughter with a smile, “Ming i, I’ve discussed with Sir Wang Chen, and I won’t interfere in your matters anymore. You must cherish this relationship.”
“Well then, I have important matters to attend to; I must imdiately return to Gemini Star, so I won’t disturb you anymore!”
Actually, Ming Yibang really wanted to engage more with this prodigy among prodigies, Wang Chen. However, the previous situation was a bit awkward. Even as a noble, he had so pride and couldn’t act too deferentially after being initially confrontational.
Thinking there was ti in the future, he decided to leave quickly.
To avoid everyone feeling embarrassed.
Before Ming i realized it, her baron father had already retreated with her three half-brothers.
Ming i wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, just then noticing the A-class War Professional badge on Wang Chen’s chest.
“Ah!”
She gasped lightly, instantly understanding, and couldn’t help but cover her mouth.
Wang Chen smiled slightly, stepped forward, and embraced his girlfriend.
