It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 718

Chapter 718

Most of the mecha operators from Courage God Ace Mecha Clan were just normal ace mecha masters . Their team leaders were elite ace and their regiment commander, who was the strongest among them, was just shy of becoming a peak-level ace mecha master . Most of the units stationed in the city had a similar power structure to the Courage God Ace Mecha Clan .

The concept of survival of the fittest was ingrained deeply into all the soldiers’ minds . Hence, when they saw a mecha clan similar to them in terms of ability, they wanted to challenge them . Many mecha operators already had the thought of testing the mecha operators from Courage God after the ceremony . They must have a fight with them .

The underwhelming appearance of the Courage God Ace Mecha Clan caused everyone to start looking down on 250 Mecha Clan . If a titled super ace mecha clan was so weak, then a normal mecha clan would be worse . This mecha clan probably relied on their exceptional luck to get to this position .

Very soon, the mecha operators from 250 Mecha Clan slowly got out from their hover bus . The first person to step out of the bus was a cold-looking youth . The moment he appeared on the plaza, everyone turned quiet . Soldiers with weaker wills couldn’t help but tremble .

“That person is very strong . ” An old mecha operator who got dragged to come by his friend tensed up the moment the young man appeared in his sight . He instantly got on his guard . This was the instincts of an experienced and strong soldier . This old mecha operator felt an unprecedented sense of danger from the bottom of his heart .

“Who is he?” Every soldier experienced various degrees of shock . They were all from the top strata of mecha clans, so everyone was quite familiar with each other . However, no one was prepared for the shock when such a powerful and unknown person appeared from 250 Mecha Clan .

These powerful mecha operators could feel the dangerous force of presence exuding from that young man . Those with a lower level of physical skills couldn’t sense this force of presence . They could just felt that this young man was very cold, as cold as ice . Their sixth sense repeatedly rang alarms in their heads, warning them not to never provoke that young man .

As expected of my boss! Wu Jiong’s eyes turned red when he finally saw Ling Lan . The hardships he experienced at the 15th Division made him miss his days at the military academy . He missed those carefree days with Ling Lan . He missed the times when there was always someone in front of him, taking care of everything . Too bad, he would never feel this sense of stability anymore .

“Wu Jiong, do you know him?” The person beside Wu Jiong, a 28 years old man with an arrogant look on his face, noticed Wu Jiong’s red eyes .

Wu Jiong looked at Ling An . He was the first person who offered him help after he entered his division . Wu Jiong was sure Ling An knew his background due to his surname but just wasn’t sure whether he was from the branch families or the main family . After all, the 15th Division belonged to the Wu family . Additionally, with him suffering more hardships than the average recruit, it was quite obvious he was from the Wu family .

Even a normal mecha operator could feel the invisible tension between the higher authorities of the 15th Division . A smart person would not choose his side before the inevitable conflicts had ended but Ling An was different . He chose to help Wu Jiong when he was at his lowest point in life . Wu Jiong was grateful to Ling An . Hence, he brought Ling An along on this gold-plated mission when he was given this opportunity .

Wu Jiong wanted to help his team members who entered the 15th Division but they were not ace mecha masters yet . Thus, they couldn’t participate in the gold-plated mission . The military didn’t want the plaza to be filled with weaklings so they set the requirement to have only ace mecha masters and above . This rule helped them to segregate out the weaker people .

Of course, Wu Jiong knew the main reason why he accepted Ling An so quickly was because he had the surname ‘Ling’ .

Wu Jiong wanted to tell Ling An who Ling Lan was but he changed his mind . “Nothing . A speck of sand got into my eyes . ”

Ling An’s expression froze for a moment . After a while, he smiled and said, “That’s true . Many hover cars came so it’s normal to have a lot of sand . ”

Wu Jiong looked at Ling Lan again . He saw familiar faces stepping down after Ling Lan . He suddenly felt calmed . The anxiousness in his heart disappeared . He smiled for the first time in a long time . He clenched his fist .

As expected of Boss Lan . He created miracles during his first year in the military . Since he is working so hard, how can I give up just because there are obstacles? Wu Jiong turned around . He saw the person he wanted to see . There was no point in staying here any longer .

“You are not watching anymore?” Ling An asked in surprise . 250 Mecha Clan just came out but Wu Jiong had already lost his interest .

“Yes . I have already seen what I wanted to see . It’s time to go back for training,” Wu Jiong replied indifferently .

Ling An’s expression changed . “You mean that harsh training you always do?” Why does Wu Jiong like to torture himself? Ling An suspected the information he got was wrong . Was Wu Jiong not a direct descendant of the Wu family but was instead from the branch family?

This thought flashed past Ling An’s mind . However, he soon denied the thought . If Wu Jiong was not from the main family, why would he be sent to the garrison?

“Yes . I must do it every day . As for you, you can do it if you want it,” Wu Jiong replied .

“I will definitely accompany you . We are comrades,” Ling An replied with a smile . He must not let his past efforts go to waste . No matter how hard it was, he would accompany Wu Jiong…

Real friendships are formed when you pass through thick and thin together . Ling An had his own plans .

As for that person… Ling An turned and looked at Ling Lan who was standing in front of the members of 250 Mecha Clan . If that person was who he thought he was, they definitely would be able to meet in the future . He just hoped that the stupid things the Ling family did in the past would not affect their generation .

Compared to Ling Lan, he would rather pester Wu Jiong . Ling Lan was the only son of General Ling Xiao . He was the real heir of the military . This was probably why he was able to become a regiment commander when he was just a recruit . No one was able to be fair and just all the time . Even the military idol, Ling Xiao, who was the icon of fairness, couldn’t do it .

However, this was something he was happy to see . If not, he wouldn’t be unable to get anything from Ling Lan when he got close to him .

Only those stupid old fools would offend the guardian deity of the Ling family, Ling Xiao, in order to get such a small gain . This was why they were in such a bad state now . Even the branched descendants of the Ling family couldn’t have a smooth path in the military . They needed to look for other people to help them .

Thinking about this, Ling An gave a cold smile . He was one of the innocent victims that were implicated by what happened that year . He hated General Ling Xiao for being so heartless but, he also hated the narrow-minded elders of the Ling family even more .

Wu Jiong didn’t know what Ling An was thinking about behind him . At that moment, all he had was one thought . He must not let his Boss Lan get too far ahead of him .

That year, when he left the military academy, he made a promise with his Boss Lan . Wu Jiong clenched his fist . Boss Lan, give me three years . I will fulfill my promise!

He was supposed to be Boss Lan’s companion! He would not let other people get this position .

Wu Jiong walked forward with a firm resolve and footsteps . Ling An noticed this . The aura on Wu Jiong had changed… was it because of a stimulation? Or was there something he didn’t notice?

Ling An swiftly turned around and looked at Ling Lan . His instincts told him that Ling Lan was the reason why there was a change in Wu Jiong .

Unfortunately, he had no information about Ling Lan’s past deeds . Thus, he didn’t know how Wu Jiong knew Ling Lan . To protect his son, General Ling Xiao used every means to remove any information on Ling Lan . If he didn’t have prior knowledge of the name of General Ling Xiao’s son, he would be as oblivious as everyone else here .

On the other hand, Ye Ling and Ye Xu had entirely different expressions when they saw Ling Lan . Ye Ling looked shocked . He didn’t know how a normal recruit with no background was able to climb to the rank of a regiment commander .

As for Ye Xu, he was suppressing his excitement . As expected of his Boss Lan . No matter where he goes, he would create miracles . It was a pity he couldn’t follow behind him anymore .

Ye Xu felt a little sorry for leaving Wu Jiong but he didn’t regret it . That was why he was able to endure Wu Jiong’s anger . However, he didn’t dare to look at Ling Lan . He was afraid of the cold and sharp eyes that could seemingly see through his thoughts . .

“Young Master 13, are you sure Ling Lan is just a normal person?” Ye Ling finally calmed down and asked Ye Xu .

Ye Xu looked at Ye Ling coldly . Does he have the right to say Boss Lan’s name?

He saw Ye Ling looking away and sneered . The Ye family was crazy to even think that they were a powerful elite family . They thought that just because they had the support of a division, they were mighty and all the descendants of the Ye family had to bend their backs backward to work for them . They forced their descendants to serve them . Even the subordinates they sent had no respect for their masters . His subordinate, Ye Ling, didn’t care about his idol and blatantly said his idol’s name . Is this how a subordinate should act?

The Ye family is rotting!
