Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Liu Chen

The other soldiers saw a yacht speeding in their direction and stopped. They knew that even if it was the enemy, they couldn’t outrun them.

They were already feeling guilty that they had left Qi Long with his squad behind to take on all the fire power. However, they were soldiers and orders were orders, they couldn’t be disobeyed.

However, they were surprised to see Qi Long and the other four on the deck of the yacht and couldn’t believe it. Where did they get the boat?

They had clearly been surrounded by the soldiers sent to eliminate them! Nevertheless, they were overjoyed to find that they were still alive. At least, the heavy feelings of guilt that had been weighing on them lifted.

Soon, cheers came from over a hundred soldiers as the yacht came to stop in front of them.

Qi Long stood by the railing and called out to them.

"Get on the boat. Don’t worry about the rowing boats, they will be taken care of."

Hearing his command, they all stood up in their respective boats and saluted while replying in unison.

"Yes, Captain." After their shout, they all filed out of their boats and climbed into the yacht.

Ye Xuan appeared from below and walked to the railing. With a wave of his hand, the boats disappeared.

This time, he had not been doing it for show. It was him who placed all the boats in the space ring Chu Miao gave him.

He had only placed a few things inside including some dry food, snacks, water, clothes, and weapons.

However, now he had truly experienced the significance of having a mobile space that could hold numerous items.

There were at least twenty boats, and all of them had been stored in his space ring and there was still space for supplies if they ran into some luck.

The soldiers who had just boarded the yacht were shocked by this display of power. How could there be someone with enough space to carry so many boats?

But looking at Qi Long and the others who didn’t seem surprised, it was obvious that this wasn’t the first time they had seen such a display.

After all, Qi Long’s group had seen a yacht appear out of thin air and their boat disappear as well.

In fact, they were still shocked to discover that his space could hold so many boats. Even though they weren’t big, these were boats that could accommodate five people. How could he store them so easily with a wave of the hand? They were in awe and envious at the same time.

However, they knew what the gap between them and Ye Xuan was like, it was better not to compare as one would only end up bitter.

Some of the soldiers recognized Ye Xuan and were shocked for the second time. They hadn’t expected to see him here. Moreover, from his actions, he probably owned the boat.

Could he be the leader Qi Long had promised to take them to? Was he the one they would be working for from now on?

If that was the case, then they were glad they had risked their lives to leave the military.

Working with such a formidable man could also give them a sense of superiority over others. After all, who didn’t want to be associated with the youngest Major General in history?

Coming back to their senses, the soldiers stood at attention and saluted in unison, "Good morning, Major General." The sound of this greeting travelled through the water for miles.

It was so loud that one could feel the air around them vibrate. The soldiers who had left on their way back to the base heard it clearly.

They could now confirm that all the soldiers were unscathed and from now on, they were no longer on the same side. Moreover, from the strength displayed by the Chu family granddaughter, and her message, those hundred soldiers were now untouchable.

Suddenly, they started to envy the simple-minded and straightforward Liu Chen who didn’t have much of a burden.

He could be so determined when doing a mission that he wouldn’t care about his life. And now that he saw the people he admired, he didn’t feel any burden when he left his mission halfway and joined the opposite side just so he could fulfill his dream.

How they wished they had the same determination and decisiveness. Unfortunately, they cared too much about their gains and losses and could only serve under the oppression of the current military leaders.

Ye Xuan saluted back and welcomed the soldiers to the team.

"In this team, we are family, not just commanders and subordinates. We do not allow betrayal and self-interests are discouraged.

You do what is best for everyone else before fulfilling your own desires. If you have any objections to this, you can get off the boat now." Ye Xuan didn’t mince his words or beat around the bush.

He said everything clearly so that these people didn’t have unrealistic expectations. If they followed the rules, their lives would indeed be easy, but if they didn’t. Then the punishment would be heavy.

He had to let them know all this in advance.

"We have no objections, Major." They replied in unison again.

They had lived in the base for years and of course, they knew that their self-interest came last compared to duty. So, they had no problem with the conditions given.

"Alright, we will set off then. You can go down to the living room and sit there.

It’s still raining outside. We’ll arrive in an hour or so, then you can take a shower and get warm.

Bear with it for a while." Ye Xuan gave the instructions and went back to the helm of the yacht and fired it again.

Soon, they were back on the move.

The soldiers were moved by his concern, but upon examining themselves, they chose to stay on the deck.

It was only an hour of getting rained on, they had been through worse conditions while on missions or special training.

They didn’t want to go to the living room and leave everything dripping with water or soaked. They had left the base with only a few personal possessions and didn’t even have decent raincoats. So, they were practically soaked to the bone.

They couldn’t take all that water inside the yacht. Looking at the yacht from the outside or just the deck, one could tell it was expensive and the materials used for decorating inside must be expensive as well.

Therefore, it was better to avoid causing trouble or ruining things.
