1176 Why Don’t You Lend Me This Fellow To Play For A Few Days?
“The military and the elite families are two different systems. Elite families have people in the military, but they won’t be in high positions. This is a rule of the empire. Even the eight grand dukes can’t break this rule,” Round Ball further explained.
“The military transcends all others,” Wang Teng commented.
“Of course. They have to resist the dark apparitions. If they get controlled by other forces, things will get complicated. Thus, they are given much power,” Round Ball replied.
After Round Ball’s introduction, Wang Teng finally understood how powerful the military lords were.
“So what if they are powerful? Can they help me?” Wang Teng shook his head.
“They won’t help you, but if you have a high position in the military, the Parkers will think twice about touching you,” Round Ball said. Then, it kept quiet and let Wang Teng make the final decision.
Wang Teng thought for a moment and looked at General Cameron. He smiled. “General, what do you mean?”
General Cameron knew that there was hope after seeing his expression. He chuckled in his heart and said, “If you can destroy this devil ovum, I can help you ask for a position from the military lords.”
“Oh, that sounds good,” Wang Teng touched his chin, feeling moved.
“What do you think?” General Cameron smiled.
Everything could be solved as long as the benefits were good enough.
boxn ovel. c0m“What about the 30,000 military contributions?” Wang Teng asked.
“I’m already personally going to ask for your position, yet you still want the military contributions?” General Cameron was speechless.
“Destroying the devil ovum is a tough job. I’ll have to pay a high price,” Wang Teng complained.
“… Do you think I’ll believe you?” The corners of General Cameron’s eyelids trembled. “Alright, I’ll get you the military contributions too.”
“Thank you, General. I’ll abide by your orders,” Wang Teng agreed immediately with a huge grin.
General Cameron: …
He accepted the deal easily!
Why do I feel that I got fooled by this fellow?
General Cameron felt exasperated, but he couldn’t say anything.
They arrived at the end of the corridor. General Cameron opened the last door with his personal account and said, “Place the devil ovum inside.”
“Will it be safe?” Wang Teng asked worriedly.
“From today onwards, besides you and me, no one else will come here. This is to ensure no accidents happen,” General Cameron said. “How long will you need to destroy the devil ovum?”
“At least half a month,” Wang Teng said a time casually.
“Place the devil ovum inside. I’ll bring you for a check-up.”
“Alright.” Wang Teng swung his hand and threw the devil ovum inside.
Splat! The devil ovum hit on the ground like a ball of meat and stopped after bouncing a few times.
Devil ovum: …
Silence.
General Cameron closed the door silently.
“Let’s go.”
Wang Teng followed General Cameron to basement 3. There were all sorts of devices here, and many staff in white gowns were busy with work.
“General Cameron, what brings you here today?” An old man with white hair smiled as he walked over.
This elder had special features. His head and eyes were huge, and he had deep eye sockets. However, his body was thin and frail. His head seemed heavier than his body. Wang Teng was worried that he might stumble while walking.
“Veblen, this young man was in contact with the devil ovum. Please inspect him.” General Cameron went straight to the point.
“What? Devil ovum?!” Veblen’s eyes widened in shock. He looked at Cameron and Wang Teng. Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp. “Do you have the devil ovum? Did you get the devil ovum? Quick, tell me. Where is it?”
He guessed it. Wang Teng glanced at him.
“No. The devil ovum is a rare object. How can we have it?” General Cameron replied calmly.
“Hmph, you’re lying to me. I know that you’ve been in contact with the devil ovum for a long time just from your smell. What’s more, you touched it recently.” Veblen sneered in disdain.
Wang Teng was surprised.
“Young lad, tell me. Did you bring the devil ovum back?” Veblen turned his head and stared at Wang Teng.
“You must be kidding. I’d run away as far as I can if I had the devil ovum. How can I bring it back?” Wang Teng spouted nonsense. He was a professional at this.
“General Cameron lied to me. You’re lying to me too.” Veblen didn’t believe him.
“I can’t help it if you don’t believe me.” Wang Teng shrugged.
“Alright, Veblen. Hurry up and inspect him.” General Cameron frowned.
“Hmph, if you don’t let me see the devil ovum, I won’t inspect him.” Veblen snorted like a kid and turned his head away.
“Veblen, this isn’t a small matter. Stop being unreasonable,” General Cameron said in a cold voice.
“What do you mean? If you give me the devil ovum, I might be able to find a method to deal with the dark apparitions. That’s the big matter,” Veblen replied.
“Don’t bullshit. If it was so easy to find a way to deal with dark apparitions, we won’t need to fight with them for such a long time,” General Cameron said. He felt his head hurt.
“We should try at least.”
“You can’t get too close to the devil ovum. No one can bear the responsibility if you get enchanted.”
“So you do have the devil ovum. If I’m right, this fellow brought it back. The smell around him is the strongest.” Veblen walked toward Wang Teng and smelled him. He looked as if he guessed the result and pulled him into the room. “Come, let’s do an inspection. You’re a strange fellow. You don’t seem infected.”
Wang Teng was confused.
What the hell?
He wasn’t willing to give him an inspection a second ago and now, he seemed quite eager.
There was something wrong with this fellow.
General Cameron shook his head. He expected Veblen’s behavior, so he didn’t find it strange.
“Stand on the device.” Veblen brought Wang Teng in front of a huge device and pushed him forward with his shriveled palms.
Wang Teng was shocked. This old fellow looked fragile and weak, but he had some strength.
He looked at the device. It was a cylindrical glass cabin that was five meters tall. There were numerous metallic pipes linked to it. He didn’t know what they were for.
Wang Teng stepped forward without any hesitation.
Veblen raised his eyebrows and said to the staff beside him, “Activate, scan!”
“Yes!” The staff nodded and started operating the device.
The door of the cylindrical cabin closed. Rays of white light appeared around the glass cabin, covering Wang Teng up.
The white light scanned him from head to toe ten times.
In the end, the staff stopped the scan and shook his head at Veblen.
“Oh, nothing?” Veblen pulled Wang Teng out and stuffed him into another device. “Continue.”
A few moments later.
“Nothing again? Continue!”
“Continue!”
“Continue!”
…
Wang Teng got pushed around by Veblen for an hour. He went through numerous inspections and tried all the devices at least once.
In the end, nothing was detected.
“Tsk, tsk. You’re an interesting young lad.” Veblen circled Wang Teng and sized him up carefully as if he was looking at a perfect research subject.
Wang Teng shivered under his gaze and took a step back uncontrollably.
This old man is like a crazy scientist. Would he cut him up for research?
“General Cameron, why don’t you lend me this fellow to play for a few days?” Veblen turned and asked General Cameron.
“Play?” Wang Teng felt nauseous.
This old man was indeed a pervert. He wanted to play with him.
General Cameron glanced at Wang Teng in astonishment. He was surprised that he didn’t get affected by the devil ovum.
This fellow had many secrets. Should I let Veblen study him?
Wang Teng: …
F**k, what’s with that gaze?
I trusted you, but you want to throw me to a scientist.
Wang Teng could tell what General Cameron was thinking at once.
“General Cameron, remember your promise,” Wang Teng squinted and threatened him.
“Cough, you misunderstood me.” Cameron coughed to cover up his guilt.
