Red Sparrow was taken aback as well.

“Xiao Qin, What brings you here? I thought you are back at Yan Jin with your family for the new year.”

“Well, I am General Chen’s coordinator. Chief General Li is looking for General Chen, so here I am.” Yu Qin covered her mouth to stifle a giggle while beaming from side to side.

The two girls did look very much alike, especially when they had the same haircut. It was difficult to tell one from the other at once.

Yu Qin ran toward Red Sparrow and held onto her arm.”Sister, you haven’t been home for so many years, Ma and Pa and everyone in the family misses you so much. They were very close to call Director Xiao and request your leave for you many times.”

“Humph! I am our nation’s super soldier and do not have as much time as you do. If I leave home, my department would suddenly be 20% weaker. There are more crazy people around during the new year and I need to be on duty all the time. Are you really that naive to think that everything is fine and dandy in our world? Without my department weeding out the bad guys from the underground world, those martial artists were going to wreak havoc in China. Plus, I don’t want to go home and see that man again.” Red Sparrow flung back at her sister. Her gaze grew soft as she spoke.

Chen Fan listened on.

From the two girl’s conversations, he learned that Red Sparrow’s name is Yu Nan and she was Yu Qin’s half-sister. She was from a military family in Yan Jin. Red Sparrow’s family discovered her gift since she was a young girl and sent her to the Special Case Departments. Since then, she rarely saw her family.

Li Wuchen came over to Chen Fan and greeted him with a broad smile.

“Congratulations General Chen.”

He reached out a large hand and shook Chen Fan’s hand vigorously while his face beamed from side to side.

“It’s a gratifying battle for us Chinese. After this battle, I wager the j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces would never dare to poke around in our territory. The j.a.panese government is trying to reform its self-defense force, but the Americans are not going to let that happen. They would be in a very bad spot for the next decade at least. One of my comrades praised your ability and compared you to an entire division of soldiers!”

The divisions stationed at the Jinlin Military Region was mainly responsible for defending China against invading j.a.panese. Their rivals included the j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces as well as the American’s pacific fleet.

Aside from Chen Fan, Li Wuchen was the biggest winner after Chen Fan’s victory. Pressure on his shoulders was suddenly relieved.

“Thank you for your praise, Chief General Li.”

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

“Uncle Li, don’t be so nice to him, he is already full of himself. He should know that without the support of the Chinese military, the Americans would have already captured him and kept him in one of their secret labs for experimentations.” Red Sparrow grunted.

Despite Chen Fan’s calm appearance, the mentioning of the American military made him furrow his brows.

Chen Fan had expected the American to intervene while he was in j.a.pan. They were the protector of j.a.pan and the world police. As the most powerful nation in the world, the Americans would never allow a rogue power such as himself to exist for too long. However, much to his surprise, the American didn’t directly come after him, instead, they pressured the Chinese government.

“Be rest a.s.sured General Chen. China is not going to cave into their bully tactics.” Li Wuchen pounded his chest and promised. “However, we do suggest that you exercise caution when you are abroad and try to stay away from powerful nations such as the USA. You are on the most wanted list published by the CIA. If they figure out your whereabouts, they would come after you.”

Chen Fan nodded.

If he didn’t want to be seen, none of the surveillance cameras that the United States of America had installed around the world would be able to pick him out. That being said, the fact that he was on the United States of America’s most-wanted list also meant that his power was growing.

After all, not everyone could make it to the most wanted list.

Chen Fan wagered that the American’s animosity toward him would make him a highly sought after ally to the Russians and the Chinese. The century-old logic applied here as well: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Lo and behold, Li Wuchen praised Chen Fan again.

“When I saw you for the first time, I took you as an outstanding member of the younger generation, but a normal Grandmaster nonetheless. However, in less than a year, your name spread across the globe and instilled fear into the leaders of nations, including the president of the United States. It happened too fast for me to fully comprehend how you have done it.”

Li Wuchen’s words were filled with respect and admiration.

His words also caught everyone’s attention.

Yu Qin was shocked by what she heard.

She knew Li Wuchen’s high standards and scant approval of others first hand. She had never even heard Li Wuchen praise Ye Nantian with so much respect. It was evident that Li Wuchen held Chen Fan with higher regard than Ye Nantian.

Li Wuchen was a Chief General in China, one of the top twenty most powerful men in the Chinese military and had over a hundred thousand soldiers at his disposal. Meanwhile, Chen Fan was just a teenager all by himself.

Tang Yifei and Tang Yuanqin were amazed by Chen Fan as they watched the young man talk and laugh with the Chief General with as much confidence as there was casualness in him.

Even Red Sparrow suddenly felt the development had pulled the rug from under her.

In less than a month, Chen Fan had transformed from an ordinary Grandmaster to a living legend, the most powerful man in the Dark World. By now, his personal strength had lent him enough weight to be taken seriously in the political realm. Even the president of smaller nations or powerful military leaders had to treat him as their equal.

“I think he is quickly catching up to the old man. Azure Dragon has already fallen behind him.”

Red Sparrow thought to herself.
