147: A solo raid on a rank A dungeon?!

Among these people, there were still some who didn't understand Chen Ming's strength a second ago, worrying if something would happen to him and Zhang Bo.

Once something happened, an S-Rank, plus an SSS-level Awakener all dying, for Great Xia, would undoubtedly be an irreversible loss.

Who would have thought.

The next second, Chen Ming and Zhang Bo walked out from inside the teleportation gate again, talking and laughing.

Zhang Bo beside him, seemed even more... worshipful? Like a little fanboy.

Where was the confidence, pride, and attitude a five-star Great Xia Hunter should have?

This appearance, even if described as a lickspittle, they wouldn't doubt it.

"Came back so quickly? Could it be, the strategy failed?"

"It's indeed possible. I heard that once you enter a mutated instance, you must kill the boss guarding the pass to leave. I think even he, as the Lord of the Undead, wouldn't dare to take this risk easily, right?"

"No matter how strong his strength is, is he still afraid of death? It's normal, after all, he's just a normal person. Improving abilities is easy, improving mentality is hard!"

"Enough! Say less. His strength is not something you or I can freely discuss." Zhao Qian worried that these words, if heard by Chen Ming, would affect the relationship between the two parties, and hurriedly stopped them.

Due to the vast difference in rank, everyone didn't dare to refute him. The words that reached their lips were closed and swallowed back.

They didn't say anything verbally, but in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel that Zhao Qian was overly valuing, kneeling and licking Chen Ming.

If this continues, it will only infinitely lower Star Alliance's influence, image, and status...

Footsteps were hurried.

It was a secretary officer.

"Commander Zhao!" She arrived beside Zhao Qian even before Chen Ming and Zhang Bo.

"What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Looking at the secretary officer's performance, Zhang Bo couldn't help but worry.

Could it be that some place has fished up another dangerous secret realm or monster?

"Good news! South City Tianlu Mountain Park, Teleportation Entrance No. 13 has been successfully closed!" After slightly calming her breath, the secretary officer immediately reported the news she had learned.

"What! Secretary Yang, you're not joking with us, are you?" The skeptical faction immediately spoke up and raised doubts.

Simply because from the moment Chen Ming and Zhang Bo left, went to the teleportation entrance, and returned, the entire time did not exceed ten minutes.

A problem that dozens of high-level Hunters working together couldn't solve, how could a mere two people solve it in less than ten minutes?

Hearing this, the secretary officer's expression became much colder, and she retorted, "Please rest assured, Mr. Qian, I wouldn't be so unclear about priorities on such a major matter as to make a joke of it."

"..." Old Qian was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, the secretary officer noticed Chen Ming and Zhang Bo walking towards her.

She excitedly said, "Yes! It was Zhang Bo Hunter, and this Mr. beside him. From the time they entered the secret realm instance, to leaving, and then the teleportation gate closing, it only took less than five minutes."

Less than five minutes?

It was even faster!

"..." Old Qian and the other powerless conservatives and skeptics unconsciously opened their mouths wide.

At this moment, just as the secretary officer had said, they also didn't believe that the secretary officer would casually joke about such a major matter concerning national security.

Moreover, based on their understanding of her character, the secretary officer was always meticulous, giving a feeling of being overly serious and difficult to get along with.

Seeing those old fellows speechless and unable to say anything.

Zhao Qian smiled imperceptibly.

Having no mood to waste time or words with them, he quickened his steps and walked towards Chen Ming and the others.

He must properly welcome these two meritorious individuals who solved another problem for Star Alliance.

"You've worked hard. Thank you both very much for all your efforts towards the harmony and stability of Great Xia! I and the entire Star Alliance will definitely keep it in mind!" Zhao Qian said from the bottom of his heart.

Regarding this heaven-sent merit, Zhang Bo didn't dare to claim credit and quickly denied, "Commander Zhao, actually, being able to eliminate the monster and close the teleportation gate is all Mr. Chen's credit alone. I was beside him, and didn't even have a chance to draw my sword from beginning to end."

From the awkwardness on his face, coupled with Zhang Bo's even humbler attitude compared to before, Zhao Qian, including the secretary officer and others, didn't doubt the truthfulness of his words at all.

"One person... in less than five minutes, clearing a secret realm instance that, after mutation, could at least reach an A-Rank evaluation, is this really possible?" Old Qian said this at this time, not out of doubt, but because he found it incredible.

"Of course it's possible. Isn't the truth right in front of you?" The secretary officer's words still left no room for argument.

The words were a bit blunt, but they left Old Qian and the others unable to refute.

Their faces felt hot, as if they had been slapped by someone invisibly.

Old Qian was still somewhat unwilling to give up, took a few steps forward, and repeatedly confirmed, "Hunter Chen, did you really clear the A-Rank instance by yourself?"

Although Chen Ming was far away, he heard the conversation between Old Qian and Zhao Qian perfectly clearly, not missing a single word.

To save trouble and avoid further entanglement, Chen Ming didn't speak, but instead directly opened a shadow teleportation channel beside him.

The Dog-Headed Death God, who had just been extracted as a new Undead Servant not long ago, solemnly emerged from within.

"How about you go ask it?" Chen Ming gestured.

"..." But it was clear that Old Qian didn't listen to Chen Ming's words.

It wasn't that he didn't want to listen, but rather, the moment he saw the Dog-Headed Death God, Old Qian was completely dumbfounded.

Immediately after, he rolled his eyes, fell backward, and fainted on the spot.

Thankfully, Zhao Qian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, disregarded past grievances, and supported him.

Otherwise, at such an old age, if his back of the head hit the ground, he would likely need to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Looking at Chen Ming, Zhao Qian not only didn't complain in his heart but was very grateful to him.

Now, he had another reason to weaken the influence of these old stubborn people in the Star Alliance, lest their outdated ideas, coupled with their fondness for pointing fingers, delay opportunities and cause more losses and casualties.

Afterwards, he had others take Old Qian to the lounge.

Zhao Qian prepared to invite Chen Ming to his office to properly thank him.

While he was at it, he wanted to see if there was a chance to try again and invite Chen Ming to join the Star Alliance.

This time, the invitation wasn't as a Hunter, but as a Commander.

Zhao Qian privately believed that Chen Ming completely possessed this strength and intelligence.

Chen Ming, however, had no time to read Zhao Qian's inner thoughts.

What he was thinking about more in his mind was how to maximize the benefits of the Hundredfold Rebate skill through these people.

He had to consider it carefully. Chen Ming didn't want to personally nurture a vicious dragon that would threaten his personal safety or bring him unnecessary trouble.

"Mr. Chen, please." Zhao Qian raised his hand and said.

"Okay." Chen Ming just agreed.

The foot he had stepped out hadn't even landed yet, when the secretary officer's face changed drastically. With a satellite communication phone pressed to her ear, she couldn't hide her panic and fear, "What did you say! Are you sure it's true?"
