While Jiang Fei was still lost in his thoughts, Sarila’s frantic cries brought him back to reality.
“Help!” she called out.
Not far from where Jiang Fei stood, Sarila was surrounded by a large number of Federation soldiers. A quick scan told Jiang Fei that the combat level of the soldiers ranged between 70,000 to 80,000, while Sarila herself was at about 90,000.
Though stronger, she was still considered a juvenile Cathian. Even with her higher combat level, Sarila was unable to properly bring out her full potential. Her status as his adopted daughter was the only thing that allowed her to stand next to Commander Alexis.
“Hang on!” roared Jiang Fei as he leapt into action.
He was not at all infatuated with the beautiful catgirl, but nevertheless, she was still his ally and a comrade-in-arms. And since she had always been nice to him, what better way was there to repay her kindness than by saving her life?
Not daring to punch the soldier for fear of accidentally puncturing his body, Jiang Fei instead simply slapped him away. Yet, the soldier was still sent flying off his feet and across the corridor, slamming into a wall. Although he was not dead, something that Jiang Fei was incredibly thankful for, the soldier might have broken a rib or two.
“Is that a superior officer?” asked the captain of the ship as he observed the fight from a great distance.
The captain did a thorough scan and realized that Jiang Fei was a fighter at over 3,300,000 combat level. After being trained by Theon, Jiang Fei himself had broken the three million combat level threshold.
With support from the Blackhole Core, his combat level might cause others to assume that he was either a Fleet Commander or a Chief Commander.
“C-Call for help! Tell them that we are being intruded by a high-ranking Valsalrian officer!” ordered the captain.
The captain himself was extremely weak, to the point that he could not even be considered a combatant. The only way he could deal with Jiang Fei was to request reinforcements.
A few soldiers left the scene and quickly contacted the fleet’s main ship. If captured, a high-ranking offer, like they assumed Jiang Fei was, would make for a good slave or hostage.
They could sell him off and gain enough funds for a small fleet! That was what Jiang Fei was worth, or so they thought…
While Jiang Fei was dealing with the trouble Sarila had found herself in, he failed to notice that he was being observed by the enemy.
When the last of the Federation soldiers around her had been incapacitated, Sarila asked, “Just how strong are you?”
She was greatly intrigued by Jiang Fei, since his combat level increased again and again every time she saw him!
“How strong? Well… just so.”
Jiang Fei scoffed. Sarila was a friend, but not one close enough for him to reveal his secrets.
“Fine then. Keep your secrets.”
Sighing, Sarila rejoined the rest of the squad. Her curiosity towards Jiang Fei had only grown after she had personally witnessed how he had shown great restraint while fighting off the enemies around her.
For a moment there, Sarila was glad that she had been sent off to be with a man like Jiang Fei. The grudge she had for Alexis was momentarily forgotten.
Like a fleeting dream, that sweet, positive thought was quickly drowned out by the sound of explosions and the cries of soldiers.
“Why are you still standing there?” roared Sarila when she noticed that Jiang Fei was standing still, while she had already taken down her third enemy.
Thanks to his previous feat of slapping a soldier across the corridor, none of the enemy soldiers dared to directly fight him. As such, his existence on the battlefield had become like that of a boulder—something to be ignored and not cared for.
“These sorts of enemies… doesn’t really suit me,” said Jiang Fei nonchalantly.
