Celebration Banquet

Ye Chen stared coldly at Mad Dog. Blood Asura still needed 2,300 experience points to level up. Even if they didn't hunt monsters for the next ten days, the experience provided by Little One alone would be enough for Blood Asura to reach LV11.

At that time, if things truly became difficult, they could deploy Dark Ji.

With Dark Ji deployed, the chances of defeating Mad Dog would increase by at least eighty percent.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent now.

Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud were both a little excited; they hadn't expected this outcome.

They hadn't held much hope before coming, so achieving victory now was quite a surprise.

Rakshasa's expression was grim and uncertain; no one knew what he was thinking.

Mad Dog and his group had grim, unpleasant expressions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The roar of helicopters came from not far away.

Ye Chen and the others turned, seeing seven helicopters flying over, a few less than before.

They must have sent only seven helicopters after seeing so many people had died.

The helicopters quickly landed, their doors opened, and Ye Chen and the others boarded the helicopters in batches.

It wasn't until they were seated in the helicopters that Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Fifteen people had come, and excluding the traitor Jin Li, it was considered a full return.

Zhu Qiang said excitedly, "Brother Chen, among so many LV11 people, we actually managed to get first place and return. That's incredible!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, not speaking.

The helicopters slowly ascended, flying towards the Law Enforcement Alliance in the Seventh Area.

The flight was steady and fast. Within two hours, they arrived back at the Military Base from which they had departed earlier.

The helicopters slowly descended.

It was not yet nine o'clock at night, and although the sky had completely darkened, the Military Base was still brightly lit.

The teenagers training here were all between 15 and 17 years old.

These teenagers were the hope for the future; they could only leave once they turned 18 and could draw a Pet.

As soon as Ye Chen and the others disembarked.

Some of the surrounding teenagers who were training cast envious glances their way.

"These are the people who came back from Monster Island!"

"So handsome, so cool!"

"When can I have a Pet?"

"Look, that's Leader Mad Dog, and his Pet, Assassin Demon!"

"Look! Look! Everyone, look quickly!"

A teenager pointed at Ye Chen, excitedly patting someone's arm.

"That's Ye Chen! That's Ye Chen, the one who snatched food from the Smiling Face Alliance's jaws! And his Pet, Blood Asura!"

Their trainers were all Pet Masters above LV8.

Every day, their cultural classes would teach them about monsters, and sometimes they would show them stories of famous figures from the Law Enforcement Alliance.

Of course, this also included some news.

The hottest topic recently was undoubtedly Ye Chen's snatching of the Hell Secret Realm from the Smiling Face Alliance.

Thus, Ye Chen's reputation also spread to their ears.

However, in the retelling, Ye Chen's identity had changed to someone from the Law Enforcement Alliance.

Therefore, Ye Chen became an idol in the hearts of these teenagers.

As soon as they got off the plane, Li Jingshan enthusiastically came forward to greet them:

"Ye Chen, well done! Devouring Sky Tiger, Thunder Cloud, you all did great too! Really good, I didn't expect you to actually bring back a first place! General Zhang is very happy; he's waiting inside right now!"

Li Jingshan smiled very happily.

However, Rakshasa's team had no one to greet them.

The people who greeted Mad Dog were not angry; instead, their attitude towards Mad Dog was somewhat respectful.

Of the three teams, only eight people returned from Rakshasa's team.

Eleven people returned with Mad Dog.

Ye Chen's side had the most people, with fourteen.

Li Jingshan smiled very happily.

This time, whether in terms of numbers or points, Ye Chen's team had the most, and the first-place position was firmly secured.

With different feelings, everyone walked towards the conference room.

Upon entering the conference room, a lavish dinner was laid out on the table.

As soon as they entered, Zhang Yun laughed heartily and came forward to greet them.

"Everyone, well done, you've brought great honor to me! Especially you, Ye Chen! Really good, you are indeed the person Elder Li highly recommended to me! Hahahaha!"

Surrounded by Zhang Yun, Ye Chen and the others took their seats.

And Ye Chen and his group's seats were the closest to the front.

Deputy Commander Li's face was extremely grim, and his gaze towards Rakshasa was filled with coldness.

Li Jingshan sat beside Ye Chen and whispered, "That Rakshasa is finished. Only so few people returned, two out of three captains died, and his own points are gone. Sigh, Deputy Commander Li is narrow-minded. I'm afraid Rakshasa is finished. If he still had points, it would be fine, but his points were stolen, and he still had the nerve to come back."

Ye Chen's heart sank, and he quickly said, "Uncle Li, can you talk to General Zhang and ask him to intercede for Rakshasa?"

Li Jingshan was startled and said somewhat displeased, "Why should I intercede for him?"

Ye Chen was unwilling to see Rakshasa punished and explained the whole story to Li Jingshan.

Li Jingshan frowned after listening; he hadn't expected it to be like this.

Li Jingshan sighed and said, "I will talk to General Zhang about this, but don't hold too much hope. Deputy Commander Li is extremely narrow-minded. He has already decided that Rakshasa is a coward who fears death, so it's probably difficult."

Ye Chen looked at Rakshasa. Rakshasa lowered his head, not speaking. As if feeling someone watching him, Rakshasa looked up, noticed Ye Chen was looking at him, and gave Ye Chen a brilliant smile.

Seeing Rakshasa's smile, Ye Chen's heart trembled.

Mad Dog and the others were chatting and laughing with Deputy Commander Zhu as if nothing had happened.

Deputy Commander Zhu seemed unconcerned about the matter, instead saying, "You performed pretty well, didn't disgrace me too much. Just bad luck. Tomorrow, I'll take you all to have a good time!"

"Alright, thank you, Brother Zhu!"

"Thank you, Brother Zhu!"

General Zhang sat in the center, clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "Everyone, you've worked hard in this competition. This is a special welcome banquet for you. Don't be shy, eat!"

The first time he met General Zhang, he walked behind Deputy Commander Li and Deputy Commander Zhu like a subordinate.

Now, becoming the General Commander is a foregone conclusion. He has transformed and sits in the center.

Li Jingshan's status will also rise accordingly.

When General Zhang is promoted, a Deputy Commander position will become vacant. With General Zhang's maneuvering, Li Jingshan is not without a chance.

As General Zhang spoke, everyone began to eat. Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud toasted Ye Chen glass after glass.

Devouring Sky Tiger raised his glass, drank it in one gulp, and, putting an arm around Ye Chen's shoulder, laughed, "Brother Chen, from now on, you're my real brother! If it weren't for you, we might not have even made it back alive. And because of you, tomorrow I'll be able to sit in the position of squadron leader. If you ever need help, just say the word, and I'll bring all my brothers to assist you!"

Thunder Cloud also said, "Brother Chen! Me too!"

Ye Chen drank a glass of wine and laughed, "It's nothing, no need to be polite, we're all brothers."

"Right! We're all brothers! Come, drink!"

"Come, Brother Chen! Drink!"

Zhu Qiang and a few others also started drinking with Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud's team members.
