Chapter 72

Xu Ji had never thought that someone would dare to make a move against him so brazenly right in the Fire Wolf Team's base.

Right in his office, within the Fire Wolf Team's base, he, Xu Ji, the head of the logistics department, was now being pressed down on the table by a Zero-Rank guy, with a V-1 type Gauss pistol pressed against his head.

Humiliation!

Great humiliation!

As a former Sixth-Rank Warrior, even with an injured leg, he should not have been so easily subdued by Bu Fan.

Unfortunately, years of a luxurious and indulgent lifestyle had drained his body.

His speed, strength, and reaction abilities had all plummeted, so even though his face was flushed, he was completely unable to resist Bu Fan's pressure.

Bu Fan's right hand, like a massive rock, pressed heavily on him, making him unable to move an inch.

On the other side, Bu Fan looked at Xu Ji with a cold smile. He knew that Xu Ji was not as he used to be. An injured and retired Sixth-Rank Warrior, if it weren't for his blood relation to the Fire Wolf Team's captain, he would never have been able to secure the position of Fire Wolf Logistics Chief.

But he never expected that Xu Ji would be so weak. Bu Fan easily subdued him on the table.

"Kid, are you looking for death? This is a challenge to the entire Fire Wolf Team!" Xu Ji, whose head was pressed down on the table by Bu Fan, his face flushed red, angrily shouted at Bu Fan.

"I just want to know, Director Xu, has my mission been approved?" Bu Fan coldly asked Xu Ji.

Some people, if you offer them a gentle approach, they will only take it as a weakness. The more you give them face, the more they will overstep. So, instead of Feng Yuan's beautiful face, Xu Ji was met with the cold muzzle of Bu Fan's Gauss pistol.

"Kid, do you think you can still pass the mission after treating me like this?" Xu Ji coldly said to Bu Fan, still maintaining his defiance even while being subdued.

Because this was the Fire Wolf Team's base. If he shouted, the guards outside would rush in. However, he did not want to call for the guards just yet.

Because that would further tarnish his already tarnished reputation, and might even lead to the opposition taking over his already precarious position. After all, the logistics department was a lucrative position in any team.

Bu Fan saw through Xu Ji's plan clearly. In this situation, Xu Ji could only bluff, relying on the Fire Wolf Team's power to pressure him.

"Do you think it's more important, the mission approval, or your life? I really don't want to hurt you, but you are too stubborn. I'll count to three, and you can give me your answer. Give me the mission approval, or give me your life!"

"Of course, I think you should first understand that even if I kill you here in the Fire Wolf base, I believe the Fire Wolf Team won't be able to deal with me. Because compared to you, a cripple, the Fire Wolf Team won't fight a war for you against the forces behind me!" Bu Fan said slowly to Xu Ji.

Bu Fan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through Xu Ji's facade!

Yes, he was part of the Fire Wolf Team, and if he were killed, the Fire Wolf Team would avenge him. But that depended on who he was. If it were an ordinary warrior, the Fire Wolf Team would not fear. But what if it were a warrior with a powerful backing?

Now, Xu Ji suddenly understood. Bu Fan's Zero-Rank status was probably deliberately altered by someone to ensure he got a simple mission and a higher survival rate.

Bu Fan's asymmetric strength had successfully misled Xu Ji's judgment, causing him to fall from heaven to hell.

"Well, have you thought it through? I'll count to three. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, we'll meet again in hell!"

"Three!"

Bu Fan started counting, but Xu Ji did not react. Even though he had various speculations in his mind, he did not want to give in so quickly!

"Two!"

Sweat was already forming on Xu Ji's forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. He did not believe that this Bu Fan would really make a move against him in the Fire Wolf Team's base.

"One!"

As Bu Fan shouted "one," a faint sound came from the Gauss pistol on Xu Ji's head. This almost imperceptible sound was like the roar of death to Xu Ji, as it was the sign of the Gauss pistol's energy focusing.

"I'll give it to you!"

Xu Ji finally shouted loudly. With this shout, his spirit and energy instantly weakened. The breath he had been holding in resistance dissipated, and he now lay on the table, weak and exhausted, like a survivor who had narrowly escaped death.

"Ah, this is much better. Let's all be friendly and make money together. Why resort to violence?" Bu Fan instantly put away the Gauss pistol, then gently helped Xu Ji up, patted his shoulder, and smiled.

It was as if he were not a victor but a collaborator!

Soon, Xu Ji returned to his desk, issued three mission approval certificates, and handed them to Bu Fan.

"Alright, here are your mission approvals. You can leave now!" Xu Ji said hoarsely, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Of course, thank you, Director Xu. If there's a chance, I'll treat you to a drink!" Bu Fan said with a smile, then took the certificates and turned to leave.

He knew that what he did would offend Xu Ji, but he still did it. In fact, if Xu Ji had persisted, Bu Fan would not have fired the gun.

Because threatening Xu Ji here would only offend him personally. Even if he wanted to retaliate against Bu Fan, the power he could use was limited. After all, although he was the head of a team, he was also a crippled, injured person.

Without real strength, the only people he could mobilize were the low-rank warriors who feared the Fire Wolf Team's power. The high-rank members of the Fire Wolf Team were not in the supply point, as this large mission was a great opportunity for the team's development.

However, if Bu Fan really killed Xu Ji here, he would be challenging the entire Fire Wolf Team's dignity. When the Fire Wolf Team members returned, they would definitely use all their strength to retaliate against Bu Fan, which was not what Bu Fan wanted.

The weight of Xu Ji versus the Fire Wolf Team was clear. Unfortunately, Xu Ji was frightened by Bu Fan's words and chose to surrender first.

After all, he was used to luxury and wealth. To risk everything for a small matter was something he absolutely dared not do!
