The Enlaike Business Co. Ltd. corresponded to the low-key purpose of it being founded. The shopfront was inconspicuous among the rows of shop lots. It was almost impossible to describe it as low-key, it was too mediocre.
“Gentlemen, is there anything you need?”
The face of the saleswoman was filled with a faint smile; simple yet it had etiquette. The saleswoman had the feelings of a tradesman, but the aura she emitted as she walked was different from any ordinary saleswoman. Although it was very subtle, it was enough for Qin Fen, who was trained by elite soldiers, to notice.
She was a female soldier. She must have undergone some strict business training that covered up the temperament and performance of a soldier and made it difficult for ordinary people to notice.
Qin Fen felt that he would have missed it too, if it wasn’t that he already knew that this was the Federation military headquarters. He would at most thought that this woman may have been a soldier before and had now become an ordinary saleswoman.
“I am Lieutenant Colonel Qin from the Federation.” Qin Fen said faintly, “I want to meet your supreme commander here.”
“What did you say?” The saleswoman looked at Qin Fen with a smile as her eyes showed that she was baffled. The deepest part of her pupil hid a rat-like vigilance, “Sir, you may have come to the wrong place. This is a clothing store, there is no commander, only a manager.”
Qin Fen shook his head gently. In the Federation of Saturn today, even the members of the military headquarters who wanted to meet each other needed the military headquarters’ arrangement. Was it still considered the Saturn of the Federation?
“Please give me one million sets of red windbreakers.”
The vigilance in the saleswoman’s pupil was replaced with relaxation. She continued to maintain the good attitude of the saleswoman and said, “Sir, our windbreakers are very expensive, you might not be able to afford a million sets.”
“One dollar for one piece, therefore it would only cost one million.” Qin Fen admired the person who created this code as he said the secret code.
“We can’t make this decision for the price, you should negotiate with our manager.”
“It would be best to call your general manager, your manager might not be able to make the decision this time.”
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment. This man was just a lieutenant colonel and he immediately requested to meet with the supreme commander, Lieutenant general Solov? She looked at the people behind Qin Fen cautiously and her pair of beautiful eyes squinted as the suspicions in her heart increased.
Although the saleswoman’s martial strength did not improve after working as a receptionist for a long time, she had successfully trained her insights that were difficult for ordinary people to acquire. These young people did not look very old, their temperament was also very peaceful. However, it felt that there was a big difference between their ordinary temperament and their true selves when observed carefully. That specific kind of temperament couldn’t be described clearly and accurately.
“Gentlemen, follow me.”
The saleswoman turned around and led Qin Fen to the warehouse behind the store. She pressed a red button and an elevator slowly appeared as the floor opened.
The elevator descended slowly and made a squeaking sound. It finally stopped descending after it reached a depth of one hundred meters. The elevator door opened again and there was a huge underground space.
The space was as big as two football fields and the number of people was much larger than expected, there were more than hundreds of people.
These lattice rooms were all made of transparent soundproof glass, so it could be said that everyone’s actions could be seen completely unobstructed.
Only the innermost room was completely covered and had its windows shut. No one knew what the people inside were doing. There was only a sign that wrote the Lieutenant General’s “Solov” on the door which told everyone that the supreme commander of Saturn’s military headquarters was here.
The soldier at the outermost edge of the glass room was a white man. His blond hair and jade eyes weren’t considered handsome, yet he had the competence of a soldier. His eyebrows showed dissatisfaction as he watched Qin Fen and others walk in as if no one was around.
He opened the door and blocked Qin Fen’s way. He faced Qin Fen as he slightly lifted up his rank of major on his shoulder and stared at Qin Fen with his eyes filled with provocation. At the same time, he looked at the saleswoman as if it was a warning. How could you simply let others in? These people did not even wear military uniforms! Don’t you know that people below the captain rank are not allowed to enter? Is it possible for them to reach the captain rank at their age?
“Where are you guys from? Don’t you know the rules?” The major stared back at Qin Fen, “You must hand in a report in advance before entering! You didn’t write a report and entered on your own violation! Who’s your commanding officer? Ask him to see me! Also, don’t you know the rules of the military? You must salute when you meet a senior official.”
Qin Fen looked at the lieutenant colonel in front of him. The arrogance of this Saturn soldier was much greater than Earth’s. I haven’t even spoken yet I had been showered with stern criticism. I’ve not just criticized once either. With just a few sentences, he had slammed down several unfair labels on me.
Qin Fen took out his military officer’s card that had been unused for a long time. He opened the document by flicking one of his fingers and revealed his lieutenant colonel pin, “I am Lieutenant Colonel Qin Fen sent by the Federation of Earth headquarters. Mister Major, please report your name and follow the rules of the military.”
The major’s expression was blank. A lieutenant colonel at such a young age? Isn’t this too ridiculous? It must be fake, right?
It had the latest laser printing technology and the Federation stamp proved that this was not fake.
The major’s stunned expression lasted for a whole three seconds, then he straightened his body again like a javelin. His legs made a crisp sound of collision and made the most standard military salute, “Major Slark, meeting Lieutenant Colonel Qin Fen. ”
Qin Fen simply returned a military salute and said, “Nice to meet you, Major Slark, I need to meet your supreme commander now.”
“Yes, lieutenant colonel!” Slark stood still on the spot and looked at Qin Fen with respect, “Lieutenant colonel, have you reported for an appointment in advance?”
Reported for an appointment? Qin Fen’s eyebrows frowned slightly. This wasn’t even a real company, since when did the military implement such a rule?
“No.”
“Sorry! Lieutenant colonel!” Slark stood on the spot as if his feet were nailed to the ground. He blocked Qin Fen’s way and said, “You are not allowed to meet Lieutenant General Solov without reporting for an appointment! Please write a report and leave your contact information, we will notify you when our lieutenant general has time to see you.”
Qin Fen looked at Solovs office in the distance and asked, “Is he busy?”
“This is the rule!” Slark looked at Qin Fen and said loudly, “Please comply.”
Qin Fen once again raised his chin and looked at the office in the distance. He could not feel any lifeforms in that room even with his eighteen-star class martial strength. If this General Solov was not as strong as him, then that means he wasn’t even in his office at all.
“How long does it take to meet General Solov if I make an appointment?”
“I don’t know.” Slark looked at Qin Fen without any revere of a subordinate meeting a higher rank official. Although his voice was loud enough, there were traces of disdain and provocation, “Our general is very busy. Maybe tomorrow or maybe next year. It depends on our general’s itinerary.”
The soldiers in the surrounding rooms had put down the work in their hands. One by one, they looked at Qin Fen seemingly with a smile. Everyone heard it very clearly just now that Qin Fen was sent by the headquarters. Come here to put on a show at such a young age? It was necessary to give him a lesson and let him know that this is Saturn! Not Earth’s headquarters!
Qin Fen felt the provocative glances around him. It seemed that every place had its own community. When external forces wanted to enter the community, they would always be rejected, even if it was a soldier. The Saturn military headquarters have already formed its own small group during this time, this was something inevitable.
After all, the traveling distance between Earth’s headquarters and Saturn wasn’t a journey of a day or two. To word it with the words of ancient times, it was considered to be the distance to the heavens. The supreme commander could be considered as the emperor of Saturn.
“Major, answer my question.” Qin Fen’s eyebrows frowned, “Is your supreme commander in the office?”
“Lieutenant colonel!” Slark replied with a loud voice, “You should not ask such questions.”
Qin Fen looked at the soldiers in front of him. This little major is arguing with me. Looks like the mission of taking over the military headquarters was a bit more troublesome than imagined.
“Is he not present? I will wait for him inside.”
Qin Fen took a step forward and Slark shouted loudly as he stood in the same position like a wooden stake, “Lieutenant colonel! This is an important military base, if you take one more step…”
Chen Feiyu had already held onto Slark’s back and pulled him aside. He heard Qin Fen, who continued to walk forward, say, “Tie him up.”
The calm voice revealed the taste of arrogance; the other soldiers in the rooms were stunned. What did these people want to do? Slark is an eight-star class martial artist! How could someone else press him to the ground in one move and even pulled his belt to tie him?
Hua la… hua la…
The few dozens of soldiers reacted first. The sound of the weapons’ safety triggers sounded one after another. This group of young soldiers was even rebelling! They even dared to beat people here? Where do you think this place is? This is Saturn’s military headquarters! If you were going to intrude arrogantly and openly, we would only need to write a report to the Earth headquarters even if we killed you on the spot!
More soldiers took out their pistol from the drawer, or grabbed the weapon from their holsters and released the safety trigger. The soldiers’ murderous intent filled the entire basement immediately.
Brooks suddenly waved the sword in his hands and emitted a fifteen-star class martial dao master strength. The air-breaking sword aura flew out as it conflicted with the air beside Qin Fen and the door of the lieutenant general was burst down instantly. It even broke the lieutenant general’s desk and left a deep sword aura mark on the wall.
