Chapter 662: Chapter 301: Going Through the Back Door

Inside the villa, the atmosphere was oppressive.

More than a day and night had passed since Kuang Huan was captured.

Throughout this time, not a single person had come to Kuang Huan’s villa to offer consolation, making it exceptionally silent.

It was as if everyone had forgotten about Kuang Huan.

In the military camp.

The general, dressed in military uniform, had a complex expression.

He had just received a phone call from the higher-ups.

At that moment, his aide asked, "Should we inform Kuang Huan’s family?"

The general shook his head, "Kuang Huan’s family is no longer rational; anything we say now will be futile.

They only focus on their own interests and never put the nation’s interests first.

It’s difficult to explain such a major issue to them."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was already moralizing.

The nation is a tool of the ruling class, especially in Qin Yuan Nation, where the imperial family and the Seven Martial Stars co-govern.

Hearing this, the aide nodded.

He naturally understood what the general meant.

"The upper echelons want us to downplay this matter and handle it quietly," said the general again, "If Kuang Huan’s family comes to me again, find an excuse to put them off."

"Understood." The aide took the order, "This time, it’s also due to Kuang Huan’s own fault. He would have been fine if he had just focused on selling arms but had to go to the front line."

The general nodded in agreement.

If Kuang Huan had stuck to their plan of selling arms, he wouldn’t have run into trouble.

In the general’s view, aside from selling arms, Kuang Huan was also greedy and delved into other businesses, which led him to fall into enemy hands.

That they had not punished Kuang Huan for his crimes was already showing great magnanimity.

Now that Kuang Huan had been captured, putting them in a passive situation, the general saw it as a grave mistake.

"He’s unlikely to die from this, but suffering flesh and skin wounds is inevitable," said the general indifferently.

Bitterness was inevitable since Wugui Nation had captured Kuang Huan, and Wugui Nation was hostile to Qin Yuan Nation.

It was even questionable whether he would return with all his limbs and internal organs intact.

...

Inside the villa.

Kuang Xi looked at the somewhat frail man before her with a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

During this time, she had also investigated some information about Qi Yuan and only found out that Qi Yuan was an apprentice at Ming Wu Resonance Martial Arts Academy.

Her brother’s meeting with him was purely coincidental.

As for other information, she was unable to find anything.

Of course, she didn’t know that Lingyi, the robot improved by Qi Yuan, had already hidden and disguised Qi Yuan’s online identity information.

The information others could find was merely the most ordinary.

"So you’re saying... Kuang Huan is currently in Wugui Nation’s Sa Qing military camp?" Qi Yuan asked softly.

According to what Kuang Xi said, Kuang Huan had been captured while collecting Dragon Root.

Dragon Root was a key material that Qi Yuan needed.

However, this plant grew in Wugui Nation, and Kuang Huan had risked danger to go there; unfortunately, his whereabouts were leaked, and he was captured by Wugui Nation.

"That’s right, we asked the generals above, but they all declined.

Mr. Qi, I don’t know if you are acquainted with any influential figures who might be able to communicate with Wugui Nation to have them release my brother.

Our Kuang family is willing to pay... any price!" Kuang Xi said earnestly.

Kuang Huan was the hope of their family and also held the title of Viscount.

Since the brother had no children, if he were to die out there, the hereditary Viscount title would likely pass to another branch.

"I don’t know any powerful people," Qi Yuan replied truthfully.

He had only been in this world for three months.

This was the first time Qi Yuan had left Tianyue City.

How could he possibly be acquainted with any influential figures?

As expected, upon hearing Qi Yuan’s response, disappointment flashed in the eyes of both the young woman and Kuang Xi.

"Mr. Qi coming here has already made me so happy," said the young woman, unable to help herself. Thinking of others’ reactions, she felt even more indignant.

But then, Qi Yuan said, "Actually... I’m quite capable.

Arrange a dedicated car for me to take me to the front lines, and I’ll rescue Kuang Huan."

Qi Yuan said it as if it were nothing.

Kuang Huan had fallen because of him.

Kuang Huan was also his underling, working for him.

So naturally, he should rescue Kuang Huan.

He was a good person, lawful and kind, and didn’t need to craft any selfish persona. Whatever he did, he did naturally.

Having cultivated Immortal Cultivation for so long, he had yet to encounter a modernized army.

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to make a move.

After all, once his strength increased and he returned to his peak combat power,

he could blow apart the stars in the sky with a single punch. At that point, bullying ordinary people would lose its meaning.

"Mr. Qi... You’re personally going to mount a rescue?" Kuang Xi was stunned.

This answer was beyond her expectations.

Not just her, but Kuang Huan’s wife was also taken aback.

"Hmm, I’ll personally go and bring him back from the military camp," Qi Yuan said casually.

In his mind, it seemed to be a matter of no consequence.

This statement completely baffled Kuang Xi.

Normally, the methods they considered involved some important person using diplomatic means and interest swaps to exchange her brother back.

To directly rescue someone from a Wugui Nation military camp... No one had ever thought of such an idea.

With Qin Yuan Nation’s military power, indeed, they could bulldoze through Wugui Nation.

But Ancien Witch Nation wasn’t easy prey.

How could Qin Yuan Nation possibly start a war over a single Kuang Huan?

"Mr. Qi... are you joking?

That’s a Wugui Nation military camp with the strength of a whole battalion!"

According to Wugui’s military system, a battalion had around three thousand soldiers.

Around three thousand soldiers, equipped with various advanced weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, drones, and even fighter jets.
