A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 45 is becoming increasingly unlike a chapter.

The old commander gave a bitter smile and said, "Falcon, in the end, you still want to leave the Dragon Team. To be honest, from the moment you left, I knew there was no possibility of you changing your mind. It's just... not that I want to force you, but given the current situation, we really can't agree to it."

Chao Bufan frowned slightly, knowing that the old leader's words had a hidden meaning, and asked, "Why?"

The old leader glanced at Tang Guoqiang, who understood and took out a document from the folder in front of him, saying, "Take a look at this first!"

Tang Guoqiang gave the document to He Shulin, who then gave it to Liao Qingshan, who placed it in front of Chao Bufan.

Tang Guoqiang presented several photos of foreigners, which Chao Bufan glanced at one by one.

"Falcon, do you know who these four people in the photos are?" the old commander asked him.

Chao Bufan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Tang Guoqiang said with a solemn expression, "They are high-ranking agents from the US, Y, F, and R empires, respectively. They are also top-tier assassins from these four countries, and they recently infiltrated our HX to carry out assassination operations. We discovered that these four individuals formed an action team codenamed 'Wolf Exterminator,' specifically tasked with assassinating high-ranking generals in HX. These four are commanded by Jacky, a high-ranking agent from the US, and operate in a unified manner."

The old leader continued with grief and indignation: "Yesterday afternoon, Deputy Han from Z Province was unfortunately killed by the 'Wolf Extermination' team. This incident is a huge blow to HX. Deputy Han was a pillar of the country. The higher-ups have already issued a strong statement that they will spare no effort to eliminate this 'Wolf Extermination' team and avenge Deputy Han."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned slightly again...

Tang Guoqiang said, "Chao Bufan, you know in your heart that a single high-ranking agent is not difficult to deal with, even if prepared. But four high-ranking agents from different countries working together are very difficult to deal with. Currently, these four high-ranking agents have entered G Province and are lying in wait in S City. I think you already know their purpose."

At this moment, Chao Bufan's brows furrowed deeply. After a moment, he said calmly, "Tang sir, old chief, I understand what you mean. You just want me to deal with these four high-ranking foreign agents! But I'm not a soldier anymore..."

The old commander interrupted, "Falcon, this is the time when the country needs you. If you still consider yourself a man, a real man, then stop talking nonsense and give me a straight answer: are you in or not?"

Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile. He already knew their intentions when Tang Guoqiang took out those photos. He knew that the old leader had no choice but to personally intervene. However, if he agreed to their request, the outcome would be different. He had finally escaped this "fire pit," but now he was going to fall into it again. He felt a mix of emotions, but judging from the situation, he probably had no choice.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tang sir, old chief, I can promise you that I can take care of these four people, but I have a small request."

"You brat, I know what you've been eating even if you fart," the old commander finally smiled slightly, his smile amiable. "So, what's your request?"

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "I hope that after I get rid of these four people, you won't make things difficult for me anymore. Just let me live a peaceful and ordinary life as a common citizen, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang and the old leader exchanged a smile and replied in unison, "Okay, we agree."

Chao Bufan nodded, then stood up and said in the manner of a soldier, "Old Commander, I know that Mountain Eagle and the others are here too. I can handle this mission by myself."

The old commander hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure you can manage on your own?"

Chao Bufan reverted to his usual nonchalant demeanor, habitually putting his hands in his pockets, shrugging, and said, "Sacrifice one for the happiness of millions! Isn't that what you all think? Within two days, I guarantee you'll all see the heads of these four men. If I fail to complete the mission, you can shoot me all you want. But during this time, without absolute protection, I hope you all stay home, especially Tang Sir and the others. You'd better minimize or even avoid going out."

Tang Guoqiang and He Shulin nodded in unison. Tang Guoqiang then asked, "Chao Bufan, what kind of weapon do you need? I'll provide it to you."

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Weapons are unnecessary. You just need to prepare four boxes of roughly the same size for me. Nothing else is needed."

"That's all?" Tang Guoqiang asked, puzzled.

"Okay, that's all."

Chao Bufan turned to leave, but stopped abruptly at the door. He said, "By the way, old chief, I won't go to greet Shan Ying and the others. Please give them my regards. Also, remember what I just said. This mission is my last one. Consider it giving you face. From now on, I'm just an ordinary citizen. If you ask me for help again, forgive me for saying this, but even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't agree."

He knew it was just empty talk, and he also knew that no matter where he went, they would find him. He didn't know how many more "last times" there would be in the future. Rather than that, he might as well be a CEO in peace. At least he was far away from the emperor and free to do whatever he wanted.

After Chao Bufan left, Tang Guoqiang and the old leader exchanged a knowing smile. The old leader sighed and said with a laugh, "That brat is getting more and more outrageous."

Tang Guoqiang asked with some concern, "Old Chief, Falcon is your subordinate. Do you think he can complete this mission?"

Yes, this mission is different from the past. There are high-level agents from four countries together. How can he deal with them all by himself? Not only Tang Guoqiang was a little worried, but He Shulin and the others sitting there also showed some worry on their faces.

Isn't Falcon a bit too overconfident?

The old commander was full of confidence and laughed, "I don't know about others, but I have absolute confidence in Falcon. Old Tang, this kid seems to be determined to leave the Divine Dragon Team. Sigh... without him, the Divine Dragon Team will really be half as good!"

He Shulin said, "Old Chief, this is the first time we've met Falcon. We never expected that our HX's top assassin, Falcon, would be so young. It's really beyond our expectations."
