Chapter 1272 Strike Team

"Duan Ya leaned her back against the wall, her right foot tapping on the floor as she grew anxious. Chang Jie was still inside the office after she left the office which was around an hour. Not knowing what they were talking about made her anxious. She was afraid that Chang Jie would get into something horrible, especially when they were still in a war. The fear of the Tang Empire using Chang Jie as a disposable pawn made her restless.

She was on the verge of knocking on the door, but then the door opened. Hearing the sound, she looked up. Chang Jie came out of the office, sweating. His hair was wet from the sweat, and his face was red, "Are you okay? What happened?"

Chang Jie smiled widely, the joy was reflected in his expression, "I am fine. His Majesty just rewarded me with something precious, and now I need to get ready." Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

The answer was too vague for Duan Ya to be relieved. But she caught the keyword, reward, and got ready, "Does His Majesty request something for you? What is it?" There was nothing free in this world. If The Emperor rewarded something to Chang Jie, that meant they wanted something from Chang Jie.

"I am sorry, not that I don't want to tell you, but His Majesty is right. It's better for me not to mention the reward because that will make many people jealous of me. It's better that no one knew, including you," Chang Jie shook his head. His Majesty did not specifically ask him to keep it secret, but that was advice from Zhang Mengyao.

"I will not tell anyone. You know how good I am at keeping a secret. Don't you believe me?" Duan Ya frowned. A single meeting with The Emperor, and The Emperor made Chang Jie distrust her. Chang Jie always shared his secret with her, and this was the first time.

Chang Jie had a silly smile, shaking his head, "I trust the sober Duan Ya, but not the drunk Duan Ya. How many times have you spilled my shameful past while you were drunk? Too many times. But it's just a matter of time before you will know my secret, so please keep it secret from the others if you know it."

"Then what do you mean by getting ready? Are you leaving? Is that supposed to be a secret too?" Duan Ya gave up when he brought up her drunk behavior. If the secret was that big, then she also did not want to risk it. If it brought danger to Chang Jie later, she better not know the secret.

"I am now His Majesty's Sword Guard, and I will be leaving for Europe in half an hour. The Sword Guard title is just a decoration to my name. His Majesty actually will personally train me and help me level up. We will launch an attack on the World Government in Europe," Chang Jie motioned to Duan Ya to follow him.

"His Majesty did not say anything about you, but I can ask later if you want to follow me. However, it's better for you to stay with the expansion team...." Chang Jie's words trailed off, "It's dangerous for you."

Tang Shaoyang was on the portal floor, standing in front of the portal to Lisbon. He thought of assembling a team of three or four people, but he ended up making a team of eight people including him. The team was Chang Jie, Pride The Demonic Ape, Wen the Jade Eagle, Kairu the Flaming Lion, Zaneos The Demon Swordsman, Zowen The Lightning Magus, and Areth.

"Are you sure you want to bring him with you? This is more dangerous than just fighting the beast. We are fighting millions of armies, and dozens of them are probably Legend Ranks. Can you protect him from them? I will not babysit him because I have one already in my hand," Tang Shaoyang did not agree for Areth to join the team even though the young man was an Epic Rank. Areth was the young man from the village who was slaughtered by the Mistovel Family. The young man swore to take revenge against the Mistovel Family, and he was following Zowen and Zaneos for the training. The three recently returned to Earth after their exploration in the Dimensional Tower and decided to join the fight.

The young man had the Fire Drake King bloodline, and it was a strong bloodline. Tang Shaoyang did not want to lose Areth before he could contribute anything to the empire.

"I will not die!" Areth replied confidently.

Tang Shaoyang wanted to say something, but he ended up shaking his head, "Let's depart!"

Duan Ya stared dagger at him, clearly, she resented him for taking Chang Jie with him. There was no point convincing someone as stubborn as Duan Yan. He just needed to bring her man back alive, "You don't want to hug or kiss your girlfriend? We will look away, so don't be embarrassed. This might be the last time you will see her."

Chang Jie smiled sillyly, shaking his head, "She is not my girlfriend, Your Majesty. She is my childhood friend, and she is like a sister to me."

Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle, "What is this? Friend zone or brother zone?" He shook his head and waved at Zhang Mengyao before entering the portal.
