Chapter 415 - 4132
"Of course, this matter can’t just be chalked up to the pursuit of the Medicine of Immortality, but rather it should be defined as a health, science, and education venture, overseen by ten Marshals themselves, which led to the creation of the Dragon Team. The rest is all classified as top secret, accessible to only a few of the old leaders; no one else can stick their noses in. Even I don’t know the full picture. Anyway, things eventually developed to the point that the complete focus was on finding Huatuo’s Tomb. You already know what happened after that, there’s no need for me to go on."
"What help do you want from me this time I’m back? Murder, or smuggling?" Ye Tian’s tone was laced with irony and much more mockery.
In his mind, two concepts quickly formed. One was to postpone revenge; the other was that these people were purely spouting nonsense.
The Admiral sitting at the center started speaking in a serious tone, "Ye Tian, we hope you can return to the Dragon Team, to take command of this team that is showing signs of decline, and then find Huatuo’s Tomb."
"Sorry, General, from what I can gather, all my brothers who participated in this mission were killed, and I only narrowly escaped by dumb luck. If you ask me to go back in again, I really can’t guarantee that I can step in another pile of luck and make it out alive."
The implication was clear—he refused.
The atmosphere in the war room became subtly tense; the old fellows all had different expressions, only Ye Tian maintained an easy-going demeanor.
The Admiral in the center looked at Ye Tian, his eyes reflecting decades of vicissitudes. This suddenly made Ye Tian feel a tinge of sympathy for him.
