Chapter 102 - Head Sergeant of Cang Dragon (2/2)

“After the failure at the tournament, we have taken a long hard look at our training program. We quickly noticed that the shortfall lies in the combat capability of individual soldiers.”

“The Cang Dragon carries out very risky surgical operations. Each task team consisted of less than a dozen members. They often had to face danger coming from not only their enemies but also the harsh environment. The effectiveness of their weapons at many times were irrelevant; it was their personal abilities that mattered.”

“I see…” Chen Fan nodded.

It finally made sense to him why the Military had thought of him. He wagered that his name had already spread far and wide to the ears of the military higher-ups.

“I don’t have time for training a bunch of kids.”

Chen Fan shook his head, and even as he was about to reject the offer, Wei Ziqin asked excitedly.

“Dad, which team took the first place? Was it the “Falcon” from the southwest military unit? Or the “Battle Wolf, from the Northwest?” She paused as her eyes gleamed, “It’s the “Blades, Isn’t it?”

Being the daughter of Wei Changgeng, Wei Ziqin was not only an avid martial artist but also a military enthusiast.

“It was none of them.” Wei Changgeng said heavily.

“Blades, were number two.”

“The first place belongs to the “Dragon’s Fang.”

He said it in a jealous and angry tone.

“Ever since the Dragon’s Fang started to partake in the tournament, they had been taking the top spot for fifteen years.”

“Fifteen years in a row?” Wei Ziqin gasped. Even Elderly Man Wei was taken aback by the feat.

“Indeed.” Wei Changgeng nodded and said, “Dragon’s Fang was the strongest of all the Disciplinary Units. They were top elite units even compared to similar units around the world.”

“The leaders of the military were determined to improve the quality of the Cang Dragon unit and therefore they had decided to invite Master Chen as the head sergeant.”

He didn’t give Chen Fan time to reject as he hurried to continue: “Rest a.s.sured that the duty won’t affect your school. The training base is very close to Chu Zhou City, and as the head sergeant, you don’t need to stay at the base all the time. You only need to advise them on their training for two to three days a week.”

Wei Changgeng said as he stared pleadingly at Chen Fan.

“Master Chen, the military is sincerely in need of your help.”

“I was sent here to make you aware of my higher-ups intentions. If you think this is something you might be interested, my supervisor will come here to greet you personally. By then, we can talk about the details, such as your parents…”

Hearing his words, Wei Ziqin could only stare at Chen Fan.

She had never thought that Chen Fan had such prestige that even her father’s boss would have to greet him personally.

Chen Fan gave Wei Changgeng a knowing glance and said, “Fine, let me think about it.”

Afterward, he pushed himself out of the chair and was ready to leave.

“Elderly Man Wei, I am going to leave for home, sorry that I won’t be able to stay here for too long.”

Elderly Man Wei stood up with a smile, “You have been away from home for more than six months, you must miss your parents…”

After Chen Fan was gone, Wei Fu shook his head and lamented “Changgeng, if not for the last thing you said to Chen Fan, he would have rejected your offer right away.”

“Which thing?” Wei Ziqin asked curiously.

“His parents.” Wisdom gleamed in Elderly Man Wei’s eyes as he spoke.

“It seems like the key to persuading this Master Chen is with his parents.”

“Yes, father!” Wei Changgeng nodded.
