389 Xiangyu’s Decision (1/2)

\

”Alright, I will agree to your requests as long as they are reasonable.” Elder Cao said with resolve. After all, super-elites like Xiangyu deserve special treatment.

”Number one, I want a big house. I want to make sure that Xiaobei could live comfortably when he stays with me.” Xiangyu said.

”No problem. Zhenyang, get someone to clear out the Wolong Mansion immediately!”

”Secondly, no one is to stop me when Xiaobei needs my help!”

”But… What if you've been assigned to a mission…” Elder Cao said hesitantly.

”I couldn't care less. Xiaobei will always be my priority and I would never compromise on that.” Xiangyu insisted.

”Okay. I can agree to that as well…” Elder Cao nodded. He turned to look at Chen Xiaobei; he never expected him to bear such importance to Xiangyu.

Then he remembered that Cao Zhenyang himself would have been killed if it was not for him, and that little detail alone scared him. He could not understand why someone as powerful as Xiangyu would be willing to be at Chen Xiaobei's beck and call.

Only now did he realized that he truly underestimated him.

”Number three. You have to help Xiaobei if he faces something that even I can't handle.” Xiangyu said, his tone even more determined than when he mentioned the last two requests.

”That…” Elder Cao was speechless.

The request might sound simple, but it was problematic for individuals like Elder Cao. If even super elites like Xiangyu had difficulties, it would only mean that the problem might have to be handled by the entire country. That was why Elder Cao did not dare to agree with the request without serious consideration.

”Forget everything I said if you couldn't agree with my third request!” Xiangyu said in a deep voice. It was quite obvious that the third request was the main reason why Xiangyu joined the Thunder Kirin Special Forces.

He was perpetually worried that he might not be able to help Chen Xiaobei when the time comes. Because he had experienced something similar in his past life, he knew how powerless he was against an entire nation.

It had also been the reason he committed suicide in his past life.

”You have my word.” Elder Cao gave his promise after considering it for some time. ”However, I will only help him once – but I'm willing to help him, no matter how big the problem is!”

His ancient face said it all. It was a very difficult choice, and that one time he helped Chen Xiaobei might cost all the connections and relationships that he had built his entire life. However, he was more than willing to sacrifice himself for the sake his country, and that alone made him a man who deserves tons of respect.

”Thank you! I will definitely not disappoint you!” Xiangyu stood up, put his hands together and bowed to Elder Cao. It was a rather dated way of conveying gratitude.

”It's fine. You're most welcomed.” Elder Cao merely waved and smiled, before turning to look at Chen Xiaobei once more.

All three requests made by Xiangyu revolved around this young man. Elder Cao felt like he needed to reacquaint himself with Chen Xiaobei thoroughly.

”Elder Cao, could you please excuse us for a moment? I would like to speak to my Shixiong in private,” Chen Xiaobei suddenly said.
