Chapter 429 (1/2)

”AST really needs to consider their hiring options, you guys are even weaker than your female counterparts!”

The squad leader was enraged by Wu Yan's taunt. His vein started popping as he felt a deep rage boiling up. Wu Yan didn't even take this guy seriously.

His training didn't prepare him for something like this. But, to display his emotions on a life and death battlefield like this, it's like he's asking to be killed.

It's probably something to do with their chain of command. They are too stuck up to see their own faults so their subordinates reflect their leader's shortcomings.

Wu Yan felt that it's a shame the girls of the AST strike team has to work with these wieners. It's no wonder the female AST squad leader is so stressed she started aging.

Wu Yan's disdain caused the squad leader to get even angrier than before. However, he didn't vocalize his anger, he knows that he's not in a position to blow his top.

”Why are you so sure I am with AST?…”

The squad leader is disgruntled that he knew. Spirits typically know little to nothing about this world but this spirit seems to be aware of AST and can even guess that he's from a higher ranking squad of the organization.

Of course, the squad leader wasn't aware that Wu Yan's actually not a spirit. He's also anofficer in Ratatoskr which gathers intel on AST due to their hostile motives against spirits in general. Kotori would fry his b.u.t.t in oil if he didn't even know who their arch-nemesis are.

Wu Yan's not dumb enough to reveal his information just like this. Wu Yan pursed his lips and he approached the squad leader while stepping over his fallen squad members.

”Answer me.”

He stared right down the squad leader's barrel and he interrogated him with a low tone.

”You are trying to kill me and I want to understand why you're hunting me when I exhibit no spiritual signature…”

The squad leader started sweating hard. He didn't answer, either out of fear or non-compliance, this is enough for Wu Yan's eyes to turn an eerie deeper shade of red.

”Answer me!”

His frosty voice now enough to bring the squad leader down to his knees. He fell back on his b.u.t.t as he shrieked.

”I don't know! I really don't know anything!”

His pathetic appearance made Wu Yan frown. Are all members in AST as unsightly as this one? So far, only female members can put up a good fight.

”You don't know huh…”

Wu Yan sn.i.g.g.e.red.

”Another question, did AST sent out different squads to kill spirits other than me?”

”I see you're not sure either…”
