Chapter 175 Massive fortune
175 Massive fortune
Cain, Levi, Lurin, Ophelia, and many other cadets were drinking and eating as they laughed. After the graduation ceremony ended, they all came to a bar inside the fort.
While the Imperial Lightning Fort worked as the center of operation for the Imperial Military Force inside the Collapsing Lightning Sector, it was also a city with millions of soldiers, many of whom considered this place their home.
Humans were social creatures, so there were bound to be distractions, such as bars inside the fort, where the soldiers could gather and have fun. There were even special areas where the families of high-ranking soldiers lived.
Cain was now a Vice-Captain in the Imperial Military Force, while Levi, Lurin, Ophelia, and the others at the table were First Lieutenants. All the people present had already fought side by side during the defense of Korin City from the Wave Beast’s horde.
“Hahaha, when you arrived, the faces of Lumir and Zamir were epic. Those two thought they could accumulate all the attention and fame with their underhanded methods, but you busted their bubble.” Lurin laughed as he remembered what happened with the duo when Cain arrived and took his position as the N°1 Lightning Cadet. It was clear he did not have a good impression of them and enjoyed seeing them fail.
Cain only smiled and drank his beer as the group praised his feats. His constitution and mind were so strong that the level of alcohol in the beer could not affect him, and it tasted like mud.
Of course, seeing that everybody was having a good time, Cain would not bring it up and just continue drinking.
“Although I am surprised by the actions of that new Vice-Captain, the one called Uriel. He attacked without saying a word, and even though he was not using Wave Burst, that palm strike to the back of the head would have crippled any normal Level 4 Wave Warrior.” Levi’s voice was somber and cold as he remembered the actions of Uriel. There was even a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
The events with Uriel made everybody serious, but one person broke the tension.
.....
“Who cares about that guy? Did not Cain counterattack push him away? As time passes, the difference between their strengths will only diminish.” Ophelia’s face was red due to the alcohol, but her words were true.
