Chapter 370 Not a Threat
"I said that everyone will undergo a physical inspection before they enter the water and when they come out," sneered the commander, and I could tell that he was enjoying getting under Liu Yu Zeng\'s skin. However, given the number of times, the commander looked at Liu Wei, I would say that he was hoping to piss him off more.
"That\'s fine, Commander," said Liu Wei, the smile on his face never wavering in the slightest. "If you and your men have that much of a death wish, then there are a lot easier ways to die."
"Are you threatening me, Captain?" demanded Huang Nian Zu, no longer smiling.
"Absolutely not, Commander. I am merely saying that if you really wanted to go on this mission alone, you could have just said so," shrugged Liu Wei.
"And why do you say that?" sneered the commander, clearly not impressed.
"Because if you really think that someone, man or woman, will be touching our woman, then you have another thing coming," answered Chen Zi Han. "But by all means, push us on that one."
"You know, if you weren\'t planning on taking the device yourself, then you should have no reason to worry about an inspection."
"One has nothing to do with the other. And please, feel free to inspect us. But Li Dai Lu will not be undergoing that delight," said Liu Wei. He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, staring the commander down. "I have not threatened you, nor will I ever threaten you. But I will make you a promise; anyone that touches my woman will die, and their body will be tossed to feed the sharks. Do you understand me?"
The commander could only stand there sputtering, looking around at my men before turning to look at me. I offered a shrug and a smile. "Sorry about that; they are a little overprotective." I gave him a \'what can you do\' look before turning my attention to Chen Zi Han. "Can you grab me an orange juice?"
Out of all of my men right now, Chen Zi Han needed a distraction the most. I could feel the rage simmering under his skin. He pulled his anger back and nodded to me. "Of course, Princess," he said with a bit of a strained smile.
"We will meet you at the docks at 1300," said Liu Wei. "You are dismissed until then."
The commander, having no idea what to do, turned around and left my RV.
"Well, that went well," I said with a smile as Chen Zi Han handed me an orange juice. I quickly drank it down before turning my attention back to my coffee.
Liu Wei only hummed as Liu Yu Zeng started to pace back and forth between the confines of the RV. "What the fucking Hell is that man thinking?" he growled, spinning around to look at his brother, his eyes narrowing to mere slits.
"He thinks he has all the power and is trying to lord it over us," shrugged Liu Wei. "Technically, anyone that has been put in charge of a mission is the one in charge, no matter the ranks of anyone else."
"Then what is the point of being of higher rank if you still have to listen to those of lower rank?" I asked, curious. I had always wondered why an Admiral or General was lowering his head to help a commander.
"It is very unusual for it to happen," said Liu Wei. "Normally, it occurs in the case of an emergency when the higher-ranking individual is there to help out with the situation. Since Huang Nian Zu was given this mission first, he is technically the one in charge. He is the one with all of the information. Anyone else that joins after is simply there to help, not to take over."
I looked at him blankly. It still didn\'t make sense to me, but I guess that was why I wasn\'t in the military.
"What are we going to do if they insist on searching Li Dai Lu?" demanded Liu Yu Zung throwing his arms up in the air in frustration.
"We kill them," said Chen Zi Han as he stared at his friend. "Let the bodies hit the floor." That statement seemed to have calmed Liu Yu Zeng down fast.
"You are right," answered Liu Yu Zeng. He cracked his neck a few times before looking at me with a smile on his face. "What should we do in the three hours we have until we need to meet them?" The smirk on his face told me all that I needed to know.
"Down, boy, I need to go to the beach for a while," I said, standing up. I put my mug back into my space and pulled out my wetsuit.
"Oh no," said Chen Zi Han adamantly. "Do you not remember what happened last time you went to the beach?"
"Yup," I replied with a nod. "Which is why I need to have things in place before we get into the water again. Or did you forget that I had my own horde underwater?" I was 50/50 on my horde. I knew that they would be the key to us getting the device, but that was precipitated by the Beta obeying all of my commands.
Technically, I still should be the Alpha, plus I had the connection to the Beta that promised his undying loyalty. But that didn\'t mean that the rest of the horde would follow them. It had been a few days since my horde had soaked in the water and gotten more powerful. I didn\'t need them to be getting more stupid at the same time. My bond was reassuring me that things would go according to plan, but I wanted to triple-check things.
Not to mention, there wouldn\'t be much point in them obeying my every command if they were at the other end of the ocean from where I needed them to be.
