Sky-cracking Rider

Chen Fei struck an additional agreement before leaving the office of Zhao Liandong, the Executive Vice President of Henghai Tactical Weapons Group.

If Little Sister Chen Meng made notable achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, Vice General Manager Zhao would recommend her to join the company's "Adam" research and development project team.

This was not in vain, as Chen Fei braved gunfire and risked adventure to bring "Adam" back to the homeland from the American Federation; after all, it's best not to let the fruits of one's labor benefit strangers.

Only after safely bringing his little sister home did Chen Fei set off on his journey back to the 911 Aircrew Base.

Oh, and there was a big cat.

No longer crammed into a box as a pet for air shipping, but having proudly claimed a seat as a Magical Beast in its own right.

Little Sister Chen had been too heavy-handed, breaking the defenses of a Seventh Rank Magical Beast of Human Order and plucking several patches of its fur bald; had it stayed any longer, it would have been completely bald.

This Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet simply clung to Chen Fei, demanding room and board without lifting a paw until its fur fully grew back.

Chen Fei didn't really mind; after all, his expenses were just three thousand Star Yuan a month, covered by the base for both food and accommodation, and he might even get reimbursed.

Actually, it wouldn't have worked out to leave the cat behind; it ate far too much and produced an equal amount in waste.

Grocery shopping was almost becoming a feat of strength, and for ordinary people, the burden of keeping a Magical Beast was simply too great.

Of course, Xiao Jiu was an exception.

Pure Light Sparrows, which start at a very low level, are petite, eat little, and can be satisfied with a diet of chick feed and mealworms, never costing more than two hundred Star Yuan per month for food.

Almost the entire night, right until dawn, was spent in the prolonged flight.

When Chen Fei and Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang arrived on an international flight at the public airport closest to the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, the whole flight lasted around twelve hours. Yet the sky was still dark due to the time difference.

The day had already broken where Chen Fei's hometown was, and people were starting work, but here, most were still deep in their dreams.

Having had an exorbitantly expensive breakfast at the airport, the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet effortlessly devoured over three thousand Star Yuan worth of roast beef on its own. Its salary was a joke, focusing on board and lodging; if not charged to public expense, Chen Fei would have stuffed it with real buns.

The Henghai Tactical Weapons Group had delivered on its promise a day early to this public airport: a nearly two-meter-high dedicated transport case equipped with a combination lock and entrusted to a security firm for transport.

The contractor was a major military contractor with strong capabilities, barely less prestigious than the fully flourishing Apocalypse Defense Group, which is why it wouldn't risk stealing the sovereign active Single Soldier Tactical Armor.

In reality, no one easily dared to mess with this Single Soldier Tactical Armor; if they did, the Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, a professional supplier of military equipment for sovereignty, would teach them how to be reborn as a new person.

"A Magical Beast?"

The transport team leader sized up the big cat beside Chen Fei.

"Yes, a Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet. Its name is 'Er Lang'!"

Being able to recognize the cat's true identity, Chen Fei didn't mind making the introductions.

"Hello!"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet extended its paw.

"Hello, Er Lang!"

The transport team leader solemnly shook paws with the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet.

When dealing with Intelligent Species, one must treat them as equals.

He turned around, took out a business card, and handed it to Chen Fei.

"I am Captain Eisoke Christian from Alpha Squad C Team of Cossack Security Company's Operations Department. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me!"

Even though competitors can be adversaries, the Cossack Security Company, ranked 19th in the industry, and Jiu Defense Company had little conflict of interest, and they could still chat relaxedly upon meeting.

The Jiu Defense Company had recently made waves in the industry, gaining high recognition, stepping on the heads of the old boss, Apocalypse Defense Group, to establish its own status in Jianghu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now, having acquired a Single Soldier Tactical Armor produced by Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, it inevitably led to much speculation.

Although Jiu Defense Company was a small military contractor start-up with insufficient heritage, its strength and personal connections were not to be underestimated.

"Alright, Captain Eisoke!"

Chen Fei took the business card, though he had none to exchange.

A mere mechanic didn't need business cards, and using Boss Hana's would seem somewhat out of place.

After all, it was no secret how to contact Jiu Defense Company; should the other party take the initiative, they should be able to easily find him.

"We'll take it from here; please be sure to stay safe."

Captain Eisoke Christian of the transport team stomped his foot and saluted deeply.

He then bellowed, "Cossack!"

"Cossack!"

More than a dozen fully armed team members stood at attention and saluted, shouting in unison.

They guarded, watching Chen Fei leave with the goods from the delivery site.

After the ground-hand-off of the Aerial Combat Interceptor "Flying Dragon" Single Soldier Tactical Armor, Chen Fei found an airport employee, slipped him a ten Star Yuan bill, and the overjoyed worker immediately brought over a trolley to transport the dedicated case with the Single Soldier Tactical Armor to the apron.

Having been informed in advance, the 911 Aircrew Base had dispatched a small transport aircraft to pick it up; the "Big Mouth Monster" Chen Fei had flown in was taken back earlier by a colleague from the "Genuine Fragrance" squadron.

An unexpected individual made it to the apron with Chen Fei.

"Eh! 'Rookie', how come you're here?"

A young man carrying a large backpack was staring at Chen Fei in astonishment.

"'Big Bear'?"

Chen Fei was momentarily surprised before calling out the other's pilot nickname.

He recognized "Big Bear" Tempun Schneider, who had attended the same period of advanced flight training with him at the old David's Eagle Nest private airport, and who had ambitions to join the military contracting business.

Glancing at the nearby Jiu Defense Company's small transport aircraft, Chen Fei had an insight and said, "Big Bear, have you found a job? Could it be..."

He looked questioningly at the nearby small transport aircraft, with the freshly painted company name "Jiu Defense" in bold letters.

"How did you know?"

"Big Bear" Tempun Schneider appeared somewhat uneasy.

At Eagle Nest private airport, he had suffered quite a bit at Chen Fei's hands. Now seeing him again, those least desired psychological shadows resurfaced in an instant. This was truly an awful feeling.

He had just found a new job, and there he was, running into a very unpleasant guy.

"Jiu Defense? Ah! The new team member of 'Genuine Fragrance' squadron, right?"

But Chen Fei didn't plan to let him off.

Damn it, even the name 'Genuine Fragrance' squadron was revealed; now even a fool could understand what was going on. 'Panda Claw' Tempun Schneider's face turned dark, and he huffed angrily, "I quit!" Read chapters at empire

He was roughed up enough at Eagle Nest private airport, and he didn't want to be bullied continuously.

With Old David's training certification, he wasn't afraid of not finding work.

"Er Lang, catch him and throw him into the cargo bay!"

Chen Fei made a signal with his eyes to the big cat beside him.

"Hehe, little friend, where are you planning to go?"

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet immediately let out an ear-piercing strange laugh and followed at a leisurely pace.

The invisible force in the air stirred up, and the young man who was striding towards the terminal building fell on his face with a solid thud.

"Eh?"

The airport employee pushing Chen Fei's luggage cart bulged his eyes in shock.

How can this cat talk?

"No, I don't want to!"

Tempun Schneider tried to struggle to his feet but was pinned down by the casually catching up Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang with a paw.

Despite only weighing just over sixty pounds, this big cat was too much for him to handle in terms of strength.

The vertical pupil hidden in the pattern of its forehead suddenly opened, emitting a shiny, strange light.

"Come on, say with me, 'I want it!'"

"... I want it!"

There we go, got a spirited young fellow in hand.

As expected from a Seventh Rank dual-elemental magical beast of the Human Order, it did the job neatly and beautifully.

When Tempun Schneider finally came to his senses, he jumped up from his seat, but was immediately yanked back by the seatbelt, a wasted effort.

He asked blankly, "Where am I, and what am I supposed to do?"

Clouds flowing past the little round window, and the big cat sitting opposite, still showing its teeth in a nasty smile.

Wait, this isn't a cat, this is a magical beast!

"Magical Beast!!!"

Tempun Schneider forced out the word between clenched teeth.

"Do you still want to go back? I'll lend you a parachute!"

Chen Fei's voice came to his ears.

He was absolutely serious. If one dared to ask for it, he would dare to give it; a direct kick out the back cargo door.

If you decide to work as a military contractor, don't treat your life as precious.

Back when Chekhov Big Bear dragged him around, Chen Fei never talked reason, and now can Chen Fei be expected to explain to the rookies what reason is, dammit, what kind of reason is that?

"..."

Outside the cargo bay, the world was all floating clouds. The undulating hills looked like a grey-yellow carpet. At this height... Tempun Schneider's face filled with horror. Are you the devil?

Seeing the youngster quiet down, Chen Fei smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Since you're here, you should know some things about Jiu Defense Company; it can help you live longer..."

He really was concerned for the other's well-being.

From his own personal experience, Aircrew Base 911 truly was not a nice place.

After several hours of flight, the small transport aircraft finally arrived deep within the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area at Aircrew Base 911.

A group of people was already waiting on the tarmac. Looking around, everyone was an acquaintance.

Boss Hana, Chekhov Big Bear, "Devil Pepper" short-haired sister, and the maintenance chief Xiao Ming.

As soon as the plane's doors opened, a small figure hurriedly rushed into the cargo bay, its cheerful chirping echoing inside the cabin.

"Jiu, Jiu, Jiu!"

"Bird! Bird!"

Nearly scared the newcomer Tempun Schneider into tumbling head over heels.

Birds are the natural enemies of aircraft, and all pilots, no matter the size of the bird, skip a beat in their hearts when they see them.

"'Panda Claw,' the most important thing for you to remember is our company's mascot, Xiao Jiu!"

"Jiu!~"

A burst of white light exploded without warning, filling every inch of the small transport aircraft's cabin.

This welcome gift still had its unique flavor.

"My eyes..."

Only screams could be heard.

The two pilots of the small transport aircraft were long accustomed to the little guy greeting with 'Light Burst Flash.' After steadying the aircraft, they didn't even lift their helmet visors, remaining calm from beginning to end.

The Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang, an old hand, had already heard of Chen Fei's Human Order Third Rank Pure Light Sparrow and had squinted in time. Since it was a Seventh Rank magical beast, it had some resistance to low-rank magic, blinking a few times before it returned to normal.

"You little rascal, throw out a Light Healing Technique."

Chen Fei caught the little guy fluttering on him and tapped its little head.
