“Xiao Xu really has an impressive tolerance for alcohol. This ti, my little brother Xiao Bing not only failed to outperform you in martial skill but I fear his often boasted alcohol tolerance can’t match yours either,” Lu Chennong said, admiring Xu Fan who had already drunk two jin of alcohol but still appeared clear-headed and sharp-eyed.
“What Elder Brother Lu said is too kind. When it cos to drinking, it’s all about enjoynt—there’s no point in competing over alcohol tolerance. As for martial skill, it’s all down to personal destiny. For Elder Brother Lu to have achieved the ‘Condensed Body Realm,’ you are already one of the best in Yan Country,” Xu Fan replied, shaking his hand, speaking earnestly.
“Right! Speaking of martial skill, I almost forgot sothing,” Lu Chenbing suddenly exclaid as he slapped his thigh, rembering sothing.
“Younger Brother Xu, may I trouble you with a request?” Lu Chenbing filled his cup, gently clinking it against Xu Fan’s.
“Oh? Please tell , Elder Brother Lu. If I can be of help, I will certainly do my duty,” Xu Fan drank the wine in his cup in one go, looking at Lu Chenbing and speaking seriously.
“Good, that’s the spirit! So, let tell you. I’ve only recently been transferred to Zhonghai and although I am the head of the City Police Bureau, I still lack loyal subordinates here. In our Zhonghai police force, there are two special duty squads that deal with special circumstances, also known as special forces units. Although they are police units, their combat effectiveness is no less than that of special forces soldiers. In urban warfare and counter-terrorism rescue operations, they are even superior to regular special forces,” he explained.
“Oh?” Xu Fan expressed his interest upon hearing Lu Chenbing talk about special forces.
“As you know, I have only just arrived in Zhonghai and my footing is not yet stable. Even though I legitimately hold the top position, not everyone under is necessarily loyal. Among these two special police squads, one is called Falcon Squad, and the other is called War Wolf Squad. The Falcon Squad was the favored unit of the previous bureau chief. They have the best equipnt, training, and personnel quality. The War Wolf Squad, on the other hand, consists of people who didn’t make it into Falcon Squad and were then selected to be mbers of War Wolf. While their quality isn’t bad, there is still a noticeable gap compared to Falcon Squad,” he elaborated.
“One is the child of the birth mother, and the other is raised by the stepmother,” Xu Fan laughed and jokingly said.
“Haha, exactly the situation. But while Falcon Squad, the children of the birth mother, might be formidable, they are controlled by the conservative faction within the police bureau. Their influence is deep-rooted and complicated, and their foundation isn’t that clean. So, I’m prepared to give them up and concentrate on building up this stepmother-raised War Wolf Squad,” Lu Chennong said passionately, explaining in detail to Xu Fan.
“War Wolf Squad has always been neglected, but with new leadership placing great importance on them, they will undoubtedly be fiercely loyal to you. On the other hand, Falcon Squad is arrogant, blind to the currents of ti, and will ultimately trap themselves in their own cocoon,” Xu Fan pointed out sharply.
“Elder Brother Xu, you are a man of insight,” Lu Chenbing said emphatically as he clinked glasses heavily with Xu Fan and downed another cup of liquor.
Back in the day, Xu Fan had road the Cultivation World, becoming the supre Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor. Aside from his formidable strength, his skill in plotting and strategizing and his knack for power plays were unrivaled; otherwise, relying only on his physical prowess, he would have been killed by underhanded tactics in the treacherous Cultivation World long ago.
What Lu Chenbing now faced was the lack of his own strong, trusted followers to help him break ground in Zhonghai.
If Xu Fan could train the War Wolf Squad to be his loyal followers and enhance their strength, he could slowly alienate the Falcon Squad. Once his plan succeeded, they would have no bargaining chips for negotiating with Lu Chenbing. They would have to rely on Lu Chenbing’s willingness to accept them.
Ultimately, the key to breaking the situation was how to rapidly improve the War Wolf Squad’s strength.
Lu Chenbing’s thoughts were almost identical to what Xu Fan had in mind, so he said to Xu Fan, “The quality of the mbers of the War Wolf Squad is not poor, and they have a lot of potential. They just lack proper guidance and training. In addition to fewer missions which leads to insufficient practical experience, their equipnt and logistical support also lags far behind that of the Falcon Squad. That’s why the War Wolf is treated like a stepchild.”
“What are your plans, Big Brother Lu?” Xu Fan asked softly.
“My plan is to ask Brother Xu for help. I can handle the equipnt and logistics as the chief, but I really don’t have ti to personally train them due to my busy schedule. I had initially planned to call over a ‘Strong Body Realm’ mid-stage martial artist from my ntor’s lineage to train them. However, after seeing Elder Brother Xu, I changed my mind. A mid-stage ‘Strong Body Realm’ instructor is no match for a martial arts grandmaster like you. If you could instruct them, I believe that the growth rate of the Lone Wolf will be extrely quick. By then, even if the Falcon Squad cos crying to , it’ll be too late,” Lu Chennong shared his thoughts with Xu Fan.
“The Falcon Squad should also have a strong instructor, right?” Xu Fan asked quietly.
“Indeed, the instructor of the Falcon Squad is a practitioner who, like , has stepped into the ‘Tempered Body Realm.’ However, as long as you intervene, what ‘Tempered Body’ and ‘Untempered Body,’ in front of a martial arts grandmaster, they’re all effortlessly within reach.” Despite his excitent, Lu Chenbing did not forget to subtly flatter Xu Fan.
“Uh…” Xu Fan touched his hair with a bit of a headache. Training them was not a big deal, but he needed to spend ti ensuring the happy growth of his Baby Tongtong; he just didn’t have the spare ti to run a devilish training camp.
Looking at Tongtong’s adorable little face, Xu Fan truly didn’t want to leave his little treasure for even a mont.
“Big Brother Lu, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I have to take care of Tongtong at ho. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get away,” Xu Fan said apologetically.
“Elder Brother Xu, Tongtong is so well-behaved and sensible, there’s no need for you to be so overly cautious as her father. Besides, I think Tongtong is not too young anymore; she’s at the age to start kindergarten, right? Once you’ve enrolled her in a kindergarten, it wouldn’t be too late to co here and train them. I’ll offer you the most flexible scheduling. When you want to co or stay, it’s all up to you,” Lu Chenbing said, putting forward his generous terms as he saw Xu Fan’s hesitation over Tongtong.
Xu Fan thought of kindergarten and suddenly realized that Tongtong indeed had reached the age to attend. Moreover, if Tongtong went to kindergarten in Zhonghai City, he would have more chances to see her. He wouldn’t let Xu Yixue take Tongtong to Arica, indirectly solving one of Xu Yixue’s issues.
So Xu Fan said, “Tongtong hasn’t decided on a kindergarten yet. I want her to attend the best one, but I’m not sure which kindergarten in Zhonghai is the best.”
“Leave it to ! I guarantee that our Baby Tongtong will go to the best kindergarten in Zhonghai,” Lu Chenbing promised confidently, thumping his chest as he assured Xu Fan.
