Chapter 2590: End of the Military Recruitment

"Outrageous or not, it doesn’t change the fact that I have completed the mission," said the woman.

"You—"

"If you insist on continuing this fight, I’ll be more than happy to take his place," she interrupted as Captain Gu opened his mouth. "Or do you only prefer opponents who are unconscious?"

Captain Gu gritted his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do in this situation.

Not only was it no longer possible for him to kill Yuan without ruining his career in the military, but he had utterly no chance of defeating the woman standing before him.

With no other choice, Captain Gu pulled back his arm and said, "It’s just a misunderstanding. I wasn’t actually going to hit him. I just wanted to see if he was faking it."

Without elaborating further, Captain Gu turned around and quickly left the scene.

The woman didn’t pursue things further and immediately went to pick Yuan up, taking him away.

Some time later, Yuan slowly opened his eyes to find himself lying on a bed in a quiet room.

Of course, he was conscious the entire time, but pretended to be asleep until he was finally alone.

’That was...’

Although Yuan didn’t get to see the face of the individual who stopped Captain Gu, as she’d immediately left after bringing him to the room, he recognized her just from her voice alone.

Suddenly, he heard the door to the room being opened.

When he turned to the sound, he could see two figures entering the room.

One of them was Mei Xiaoyun, and the other was Mei Feng.

"Are you okay?" Mei Xiaoyun asked him.

Yuan nodded with a smile, "I’m not hurt in the slightest."

"You know you won’t die if you stop acting tough for a second, right?" Mei Feng sighed while shaking her head.

Yuan chuckled.

"I am being serious, though. I know it looked brutal, but his attack didn’t even land on me."

Yuan patted his stomach aggressively to show them he was perfectly fine.

He then asked, "So, what happens now? Are you going to punish that soldier for attempting to kill me?"

An apologetic expression appeared on Mei Feng’s face as she responded, "Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Not only is he a Captain, but he’s also General Gu’s nephew. Not to mention the trial in itself is meant to rough up the recruits."

"But he used Limitless during the fight, and as far as I am aware, that’s not allowed. Surely, you can punish him for that," Mei Xiaoyun said.

Mei Feng shook her head. "Actually, there is no explicit rule prohibiting the use of Limitless during the fight."

"No way... so we’re just going to let him get away with almost killing him?" Mei Xiaoyun frowned.
