Chapter 210: Episode 19.6 Fighting! Qin Mian!

"So, Chairman Mao sent you here to inform me that starting today, Qin Mian will become a squad member. Did I get it right, Li An?" Shen Yuan asked in a melodious tone.

Since the Bai family generously offered their guests breakfast, they are not that impolite to let them dine at a separate table. They kindly asked the restaurant staff to prepare a bigger and longer table that is enough to accommodate at least six people.

This setup somewhat worked well for Shen Yuan as the first matter that needed to be discussed slipped out of his talkative alpha subordinate’s mouth, Li An.

Shen Yuan didn’t mind discussing this matter in front of their son, because he could feel that it wasn’t sensitive, and Xia Jinhai didn’t have any opinion if they talked about it while eating.

"Indeed, Leader Shen," Li An promptly answered. "However, Chairman Mao also said that it is your jurisdiction whether you accept him. He gave you the freedom to set the requirements for Qin Mian."

Shen Yuan pursed his lips and he absent-mindedly looked over his fresh mango puree. He mixed it around in a circular motion and with silent vindictiveness.

Shen Yuan clicked his tongue, "That old man really put me in a tough spot."

’It’s up to me whether I accept Qin Mian or not? Don’t kid with me! As the chairman, Mao Huanlong could appoint anyone in any department for no reason. The fact that he sent the person here in the mountains all the way from the city means that it’s been finalized that Qin Mian will be under my wing!’ Shen Yuan is already burning Chairman Mao in his imagination.

In hindsight, this setup is also good as it is inconvenient for both parties.

Their squad that’s responsible for safeguarding the potential targets of the Cardinals will have an easier time protecting Qin Mian and on the other hand, Qin Mian would become safer.

’But the problem is, Qin Mian will join as a fellow protector not as the one protected.’ Shen Yuan internally sighed.

He really doesn’t know how that chairman’s head works.

It is too tiring to deal with people who are as cunning as him compared to straightforward ones.

’Can’t all alpha’s be as easy as Bai Tingfeng?’ the celestial fox spirit lamented.

Shen Yuan gave the man who was seated beside him a glance and coincidentally, their gazes interlocked.

"You don’t have to be perfunctory. It’s just Chairman Mao. You can do whatever you want," his amazing husband shrugged his shoulders as if the person he was talking about was just an old neighbor.

The people around them were left speechless. That’s the strongest awakener in the country, you know?

"Well..." Shen Yuan scooped a spoonful of puree and immediately sent it to his mouth. As the refreshing sweetness of the mango exploded in his palate, he also internally arranged his thoughts and concluded.

"Chairman Mao has an opinion and I have an opinion, too. However, before I make my decision, isn’t it great if I hear the thoughts of the person in question first?" Shen Yuan turned to the silent and nervous alpha seated in the far seat.

"Eh?" Qin Mian stupidly straightened his body like a frightened meerkat.

With all honesty, he shrouded himself in silence because he was afraid that he would pass out from all the nervousness and tension he was feeling. He couldn’t even bring himself to finish the delicious egg benedict on his plate.

Never in his dreams or imagination did he picture himself sharing breakfast with three of the strongest awakeners in the country.

As an active hunter and a dungeon enthusiast, Qin Mian made it a point to stay updated about the rankings of the powerful awakeners in their country. He constantly checks the website of the International Hunter Alliance to see how the powerful ones are doing. Therefore, he more or less knows the strength of the people he is sharing this table with.

Xia Jinhai, also known as the Poltergeist of the Hunter Association, is an S-Class psychokinesist who was lauded as one of the strongest betas not just in Country C but also in the world. He ranked 15th in the list of the strongest psychic awakeners worldwide and 20th in the World Top Hunters. He may be behind in terms of ranks compared to Bai Tingfeng and Chairman Mao Huanlong, but his influence inside the Hunter Association couldn’t be trifled with.

There are rumors inside the Hunter Association that Xia Jinhai is being pushed to be the next Vice Chairman of the Hunter Association.

Xia Jinhai boasts a lot of accomplishments that someone like Qin Mian couldn’t achieve in a lifetime.

’I could struggle until the end and still achieve a fraction of Xia Jinhai’s achievement, but as for these two,’ Qin Mian eyed the couple seated in the principal seat. If one would only look at them superficially, all they could see was a loving couple who dotes on their cute baby boy. However, this couple has something more than meets the eye.

Bai Tingfeng is the youngest in history to be awakened at the age of nine. He came from an influential family that has five generations of S-Class hunters in their family tree.

Some people who don’t know the hunting industry well would think that Bai Tingfeng inherited the guild master position because he is some lucky fifth-generation young master, but that is far from the truth!

It was known to the industry insider that he had been active in dungeon hunting since the age of thirteen, and his strength as a swords master was not just thanks to the powerful genes he inherited.

Bai Tingfeng speaks with overwhelming strength and refined skills.

’A testament of it was his current ranking in the World Top Hunter.’ Qin Mian concluded.

Currently, Bai Tingfeng stably occupies the 9th seat as the strongest swordsman in the world and 11th in the World Top Hunter. But he is only in his mid-20s, and a lot of things could happen.

Bai Tingfeng has plenty of time to improve his strength, and obviously, he’s got the resources that most hunters could only dream of.

’I mean, just look at the place they picked for a staycation! I don’t know how much it is to stay in Rong Shan Spring Villa since it isn’t a resort that could be easily found on the internet, but I could guess, using the services and amenities, that it must be around half the annual income that I get as a hunter and streamer!’ Qin Mian’s spirit as a working class was shaken to the core.

’What the heck is up with their spoon and fork? All of their cutleries are pawnable silver! Aren’t they afraid that their guests would sneakily bring them home? My mouth that only uses a stainless-steel spoon could never!’

His silver necklace, which has sentimental value since it was his first valuable asset, felt offended!

There’s a notion that alphas have the most steadfast mentality, but in reality, the woe of a commoner transcends even secondary gender.

"Earth to Qin Mian? Are you still with us?" A melodious voice jolted him out of trance, but then again, he was thrown into a state of panic. It was Shen Yuan who was talking to him!

"Y-yes!"

"I asked you a question. Can you answer me with all honesty? Are you aware of the perils that lurk in the muddy water that you want to dip your toes into? Do you think you could contribute to the team?" Shen Yuan asked with a smile.

Of course, it was a business-like smile. Nothing that could make the jealous tiger pounce at their guest. He is just merely soothing Qin Mian’s nerves since he can read in his jumpy gazes that he is nervous about meeting powerful awakeners like Bai Tingfeng.

Fortunately, he didn’t know if his charisma worked, but at least Qin Mian visibly regained a bit of color from his face.

"Stop smiling so much, Yuan," He heard Bai Tingfeng whisper beside him, which he ultimately ignored.

"I-I" Qin Mian started, stuttering. "Despite how I looked, I am very much serious about this, Mr. Shen. I heard from Chairman Mao that those Cardinals were after me because of my supposed ties with the Wei family."

"Actually, I have a hard time believing it since I never heard from my late parents that we are connected to such a powerful clan but whether I am indeed the person they are looking for or not, that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change the fact that they will continue to target me and the people around me will be harmed as a consequence."

"That’s why I decided to actively hunt those terrorists myself. I want revenge for disturbing my peaceful life!"

Qin Mian’s gaze became firm and fiery at this point, "Even if I am lacking in strength, I will make sure that I will not be a burden to everyone in the squad, Mr. Shen!"

"..."

Everyone was stupefied when Qin Mian roared his resolve. The adults gawked at the handsome alpha as if he grew multiple heads, while on the other hand, Yanyan’s bite was suspended, leaving the hotdog dangling in his mouth.

Qin Mian’s face was colored with embarrassment. Shit! Damn, occupational disease! He was so used to exaggerating his behavior as a streamer that it came out of him so naturally.

While Qin Mian was on the verge of dying due to humiliation, Shen Yuan’s laugh suddenly thundered.
