59: Chapter 59: Vengeful Poison

Meanwhile, outside the main control hall.

The heads of the major families were gathered in small groups, discussing animatedly.

The focus of their discussion was, naturally, Fang Chuan, who had just been invited into the conference room by General Luo Yi and Mayor Li.

"Tell me, what exactly do the military see in that kid? They actually gave him an SSS-grade contract. This defies logic."

"Who knows? I bet it's the effect of that 'Goblin Altar'. It must be greater than we imagined."

"Hmph, a F-grade Divine Kingdom—no matter how many resources they give him, the ceiling is set. I think the military's investment will go down the drain sooner or later."

The heads of the Qin Family and the Lin family stood together, their expressions somewhat grave.

"Old Lin, what do you think?" The head of the Qin Family, a refined-looking middle-aged man, asked softly.

The head of the Lin family, who was Lin Xiaoxiao's father, a burly man, shook his head: "I can't see through it. The military never acts without profit. The value of that 'Goblin Altar' is likely far beyond our imagination."

The head of the Qin Family sighed: "Indeed. I keep feeling like we've all underestimated that boy named Fang Chuan. He seems to be hiding an even greater secret than what we can see."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Head of the Lu Family and Lu Hai, who had left in disgrace, were sitting in a luxurious flying car.

The atmosphere inside the car was suffocatingly oppressive.

Head of the Lu Family kept a gloomy face, not saying a word.

Lu Hai kept his head down, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his body trembling slightly from humiliation and rage.

Ever since he was a child, he had been the pride of heaven, surrounded by everyone's adoration.

When had he ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace as he did today?

To be blocked at the door by an F-grade trash whom he once didn't even bother to look at, and to be beaten like a dog while fleeing in such a sorry state in front of everyone in Qinghe City.

Just thinking of that scene made him feel like his heart was bleeding.

"Grandfather..." Lu Hai's voice was hoarse, filled with unwillingness, "I... I refuse to accept this!"

"Refuse to accept it?" Head of the Lu Family let out a cold snort and finally spoke, his voice filled with disappointment and rage, "And what if you don't accept it? In the exam, you were beaten so badly you couldn't even fight back! Outside, he has the military and the City Hall backing him. What can our Lu family do to him?"

"Could it be... could it be that we're just going to let it go?" Lu Hai raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

Head of the Lu Family said coldly, "What you need to do now is to forget today's humiliation and desperately improve your Divine Kingdom! Our Lu family's resources will be poured into you without reservation! After the Divine Kingdom protection period ends, I don't care what method you use, you must trample that Fang Chuan under your feet!"

"He doesn't even have a Divine Talent; he's inferior to you from birth. So what if he has the ability to convert a high-star follower? No matter how strong he is, can he compare to our Divine Family?"

"As long as you advance to a Demigod, I will gift you a six-star follower! I refuse to believe that Fang Chuan can turn the world upside down!"

"Yes! Grandfather! I understand!" Lu Hai nodded heavily, his eyes reigniting with fighting spirit, though this spirit now held a hint of ruthlessness that wasn't there before.

The conversation in the conference room ended in an extremely serious and exhilarating atmosphere.

General Luo Yi immediately processed all of Fang Chuan's enlistment procedures through the military's internal channels on the spot and awarded him a dragon-patterned badge symbolizing the rank of Major.

At the same time, he also gave Fang Chuan a special communicator, telling him that this was the military's encrypted line and that in the future, if he had any matters, he could contact him directly through this communicator.

That ten billion Faith Value, as well as the various resources promised in the contract, would also be successively deposited into Fang Chuan's Divine Kingdom account within three days.

"You should stay at school for the next few days. Principal Yao Guishan will be responsible for your safety and daily life. In two days at most, we will come to pick you up!"

After doing all this, General Luo Yi and Mayor Li left in a hurry.

They were going to report today's shocking discovery to the higher-ups. It was foreseeable that the entire upper echelon of the Dragon Kingdom would be stirred into a massive storm because of Fang Chuan's existence.

In the conference room, only Fang Chuan and Principal Yao Guishan, who had not yet recovered from his excitement, remained.

"Fang Chuan, you... you kid, you really..."

Principal Yao Guishan looked at Fang Chuan, his mouth hanging open for a long time, and in the end, he didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood.

He felt as if he were dreaming.

A student in his school, an F-grade student who was originally looked down upon by everyone, had suddenly transformed into a national treasure capable of creating a Five-star Believer, being treated like a treasure by the military and the City Hall.

This transformation was just too magical.

"Principal, please don't look at me like that, I'm not used to it." Fang Chuan scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!" Principal Yao Guishan came back to his senses and let out a hearty laugh, "Good! Very good! For me, Principal Yao Guishan, to have taught a student like you in this lifetime, it's worth it!"

He walked up to Fang Chuan and said earnestly: "Fang Chuan, your status is different now. You must be more careful in your actions from now on. Especially that Lu family; they suffered such a big loss today, they definitely won't let it go. You must be extra vigilant."

"I understand, Principal, thank you for the reminder." Fang Chuan nodded.

He knew that Principal Yao Guishan was truly looking out for him.

He kept this sentiment in his heart.

"Alright, I should go too." Principal Yao Guishan checked the time, "There are still a bunch of things waiting for me to handle at school. You kid are now a member of the military. In the future, when we meet, do I have to salute you, Major Fang?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Fang Chuan waved his hands quickly.

After seeing off Principal Yao Guishan, Fang Chuan prepared to leave the venue.

Just as he walked out of the conference room, he saw Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan waiting at the door.

"Brother Chuan!"

Seeing Fang Chuan come out, Zhang Chao immediately came up to him, his face full of excitement and curiosity.

"How was it? How was it? What did General Luo Yi and Mayor Li want with you? Are they going to give you a big medal?"

Fang Chuan smiled and said: "Nothing much, just went through the enlistment process."

Fang Chuan took out the dragon-patterned badge that was still warm from his pocket and waved it in front of them.

"It really is a Major's rank?! You're amazing, Brother Chuan!"

Zhang Chao's eyes were almost popping out. He carefully took the badge and examined it over and over again.

"Alright, don't make such a fuss." Fang Chuan took the badge back and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate."

"Alright, alright!" Zhang Chao raised both hands in agreement, "I must slaughter you for a big meal! No, two! No, from now on you have to cover my meals for a lifetime!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the venue.
