Chapter 319 - Kersey Who Was Cheated

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

“No problem.”

“Then, do you obey the orders of the military?”

“Of course.”

“That’s good.” Paul smiled. “Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to live next door to Lugh’s family and arrange a few assistants for you. Don’t affect the lives of the Lugh family and just protect them in the dark… Kersey, don’t you have the confidence to complete the mission?”

“I promise to complete the mission.”

The next day, Kersey followed the instructions of the Southwest Military Department and moved next door to Lugh’s house.

He looked at the three maids in front of him, a cook, a gardener, and a dead silence and was a little dumbfounded.

These were the assistants sent by the Military Department.

They were all f*cking ordinary people.

Only the gardener and the driver were slightly better. At least they could be considered veterans.

But what were those four women?

It was not that Kersey discriminated against women, the problem was that he was on a mission.

At this time, Kersey had already noticed the problem.

He found that he seemed to have fallen into Paul’s trap.

Immediately after, the villa door opened, and a seventeen, eighteen-year-old girl with some baby fat walked out with a smile.

“Why are you here?” Kersey looked at the little girl in front of him and asked.

“I’m here to take care of Grandpa.”

Taylor was one of Kersey’s great-granddaughters.

Taylor was the only descendant left behind by Kersey’s favorite grandson.

When Kersey returned home occasionally, he doted on her.

“It’s not convenient for you to come here.”

“To carry out a mission?” Taylor stopped smiling and said with a serious face, “I understand.”

Kersey said seriously, “If you understand, why are you still here?”

“To take care of my great-grandfather, of course.” Taylor smiled and said, “I’m here to take care of my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather is carrying out a mission. Is there a conflict? I won’t delay your mission.”

There was indeed no conflict.

“Wait, how do you know that I’m carrying out a mission?”

Kersey finally grasped the main point.

Taylor wrung her fingers guiltily, not daring to look directly at Kersey.

“The family knows?”

“Hehe, I told them all.”

“I mean… why didn’t anyone try to persuade me yesterday?” Kersey’s face was red with anger. “It must have been Paul who told you, right? That b*stard, how dare he scheme against me? I’m not done with him!”

“Grandfather, please calm down.” Taylor quickly said, “Grandfather, don’t worry. My entire family supports Grandfather in carrying out his mission.”

It would have been better if Taylor didn’t say it.

Once he said it, Kersey became even angrier.

He felt that it was very necessary for him to go to the military and reason with Paul.

…

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Taylor walked over and saw a handsome young man.

“Hello, may I ask if the person staying here is Colonel Kersey?”

“Ah, Lugh, come in, my great-grandfather is at home.”

Taylor recognized this Southwest genius who was in the limelight at a glance.

“Mm.”

Kersey’s anger dissipated a little when he saw Lugh.

Lugh had received a notification from the military for this visit.

The military told him that in order to protect his mother and sister, the military had specially arranged for his family to have an experienced and experienced King-level powerhouse stay next door to his home.

When Lugh had just received this news, he was really flattered.

There probably weren’t many King-tier Beast Masters in the entire Southwest Military.

Those were all strategic forces.

In the end, the Southwest Military had even arranged for a King-tier Beast Master to live next door to his house.

He had already moved in next door. Out of courtesy… Lugh would definitely pay him a visit.

And the soldier who had informed him had also reminded him.

So Lugh brought some precious fruit and struck the wine that Adams, the Guardian of Stone City, had given him to visit Kersey.

When Kersey heard that Lugh was coming, he also suppressed the anger in his heart.

He would not take it out on his juniors because of this matter.

Seeing the young Lugh, Kersey felt like he had seen himself when he was young.

In addition to the fact that he already had a good impression of Lugh, he became more and more pleasing to the eye when he saw him.

“Why did you bring gifts?”

“I’m here to visit Senior.”

Lugh saw how old and skinny he was, but he didn’t dare to look down on Kersey.

King-tier Beast Master.

He was a King-tier Beast Master.

With a wave of his hand, seven King-tier ferocious beasts appeared, easily destroying an entire city.

“Please take a seat.” Taylor warmly invited Lugh to sit down.

“Don’t you see that there are guests here? Hurry up and pour some tea.”

Lugh sat down until the afternoon, when the sun set.

At noon, he was also at Kersey’s house, but he still drank the entire jar of wine.

Kersey talked about the glorious past with him, occasionally interspersed with some practical combat techniques. Lugh listened very seriously.

When he learned that Kersey had joined the army when he was fifteen years old and fought on the battlefield for 168 years, he had even more respect for Kersey.

When Lugh left, Kersey was still a little reluctant.

It was rare to meet a young man who was pleasing to the eye and liked to listen to his stories.

He had not finished his story yet.

“Grandpa, have some tea.”

“Okay.”

“I haven’t seen you so happy in a long time.”

“Lugh is really not bad. He doesn’t mind me being long-winded.”

“I don’t mind you being long-winded either, Grandpa.”

“But when I was chatting with Lugh just now, you ran off to the side.”

Taylor smiled and said, “I can recite all of your stories.”

Once Lugh left, Kersey thought of that bastard Paul again.

He had just stood up and sat back down.

“Sigh,” he sighed heavily. “I’ve been cheated… Forget it…”

He had already met Lugh.

If he really left the police force, where would he put his face?

He understood Paul’s good intentions towards him.

Moreover, he had already said that he would obey the orders of the military.

As a soldier, it was his duty to obey orders. He could not regret it.

In the Southwest Military, Paul was also paying attention to Kersey’s movements.

When it was dark and he did not see Kersey in the military, he let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that Kersey had admitted defeat.

Lugh did not know the inside story. He was now staring at the system.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully eliminating the disciples of the Beast God Cult. You have helped the Southwest Military to resist the large-scale infiltration from the Beast God Cult and stabilize the situation in the Southwest.]

[Statistics on the number of strongholds of the Beast God Cult in the Southwest… Mission completion cost, calculating time…]

Lugh was a little nervous.

[Ding! Final mission rating: Perfect.]

Seeing the word ‘perfect’, Lugh could not help but cheer in his heart.

[Ding! Mission reward: One pet that has been selected to comprehend a large-scale enhancement skill. The higher the mission completion rating, the stronger the pet’s comprehension skill. Host, please choose a pet.]

Lugh asked, “Is there any particular reason for choosing a pet beast?”

This type of large area enhancement skill was extremely precious. Lugh believed that he had to choose carefully.

[The large area enhancement skill that can be comprehended largely depends on the pet beast’s innate ability.] The system replied, [For example, the Stormhawk is most likely to comprehend a skill that involves speed. The Berserk Bear is most likely to comprehend a defensive skill, and the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly is most likely to comprehend a large area spirit resistance skill… I don’t recommend using the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine and the Void Spirit. Their innate abilities are a little out of the ordinary.]

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly was the first to be eliminated by Lugh.

The spiritual resistance that increased in groups was not very practical.

It was also impossible for them to start a large-scale war with the Beast God Cult.

The Beast God Cult was dealing with the Northwest. What about the Western Army?

If they wanted to fight, it was not their Southwest Army’s turn.

Speed and defense.

These were both areas that Lugh valued highly.

From a practical point of view, the importance of the two was about the same.

However, considering the battle mission of the Emergency Response Team, they were more focused on defending the city.

Lugh decided to choose defense.

“I choose the Berserk Bear.”

[Ding, congratulations host, your Pet Berserk Bear has obtained the Perfect-Tier large area buff skill — Indestructible Light.]

[Indestructible Light: The pet will gain 50% of the pet’s defense. The more allies there are, the longer the duration will be, and the more energy will be consumed.]

Increase 50% of the pet’s defense?

Lugh picked up the teacup beside him and gulped down a mouthful of water.

50% of the Berserk Bear’s defense?

That was a little exaggerated.

If he remembered correctly, the Stormhawk, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, and the Void Spirit should also be considered allies.

If he cast the Indestructible Light on these guys, it felt like the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly could be used as a meat shield.

After obtaining this skill, Lugh felt that the hard work he had put in for the past half-year was definitely not in vain.

Of course, it was impossible for Lugh to really stay at home for a month.

After resting for ten days, he returned to the 14th Emergency Response Team camp. Just as he was about to enter his office, Lugh saw an acquaintance.

It was Lucy.
