Chapter 175
Capital City
Inside an ancient building.
An old man was sitting in the yard, looking through the document Rupert had just sent over. It was quite thick, being about seven or eight pages long. It retold everything about David in the past 21 years. The old man read it very slowly.
Two stately middle-aged men stood behind the old man.
The man looked old, at least not too different from Rupert
However, he was unlike Rupert, whose face was full of wrinkles and looked weak as if he was dying.
On the contrary, this man looked hale, hearty, and energized, as if he could live for another twenty or thirty years.
This old man was Henry Thompson-the leader of National Special Task Force Team B. He had been the leader of Team B for more than thirty years but was still strong.
It was not that he was greedy for power and did not give opportunities to young people. He had applied for retirement several times but it had never been granted.
It was because Team B had not found a person who could intimidate the whole team, see the big picture, and plan everything appropriately to replace him so far.
Functioning as an important department of the country to maintain order between local martial artists, Team B had arduous tasks and needed someone with strength and vision to be in charge.
After more than ten minutes, the old man finished reading.
He conveniently passed the document to the two middle-aged men behind him. After this, he seemed to b e in a trance.
Henry was not calm.
If the information Rupert gave him was true, the young man named David was someone terrifying.
The word “genius” could hardly describe his brilliance.
Would Rupert lie to him? Almost impossible.
Therefore, David’s profile was real.
A 21-year-old student in his junior year, whose first 21 years had been uneventful, miserable even, before he suddenly had the power of a Tiger Rank peak master and large sums of money from unknown sources.
It would normally be impossible. A person could get rich instantly but not become a master in the Tiger Rank.
Therefore, it was just like what Rupert analyzed in the end–the boy had a mentor who had secretly taught him from an early age.
It was probably his master’s decision not to expose himself even though he suffered 21 years of humiliation. Rupert had confirmed it in his meeting with him.
What was rare was the boy’s nature-judging by his actions since he was exposed.
He did not become twisted and vengeful because of his miserable childhood.
He was still right-minded. He would retaliate against his bullies, but he had a bottom line.
He would also repay the kindness of people who had helped him.
Therefore, it seemed that his mentor was not a heinous person. Perhaps his mentor had some reason to let him bear the pain thus far.
The country welcomed such strong and right-minded talents with a clean background.
With David secretly becoming a Tiger Rank peak master at 21, letting him join Team B seemed unworthy o f his talents.
If such a talent joined Team B, it would only make him slack. He would be a top member in Team B and would gradually lose his motivation as the team of members who were decades old were not as strong a s him.
