Chapter 708: The Mysterious Quadruplets

Han Tianyu came to pick Jiang Fei up around noon.

“Are we heading to the capital?” Jiang Fei brought Ariel along to the roof of Manda Square. This was where Han Tianyu usually parked his helicopter.

“Yeah!” Han Tianyu nodded. Although the superiors wanted to meet Jiang Fei, they would not personally travel all the way to the city in which Jiang Fei was located.

“Alright!” Jiang Fei nodded. He could understand why these government officials did not want to travel all the way out of the capital. These were much busier people in comparison to Jiang Fei, especially with the war drawing near.

Very soon, the helicopter took off. Jiang Fei and the two had to first head to the military airport in the outskirts and then board the aircraft that would take them to the capital.

“Have you managed to separate the Energy Crystals?” Jiang Fei asked in the helicopter.

“It’s all done. They are in the midst of being transported. If everything goes according to plan, they should arrive at the capital by tonight!” Han Tianyu answered.

“Alright!” Jiang Fei nodded. He had been eagerly waiting for this batch of Energy Crystals.

The two chatted for a while before the helicopter landed at the military airport. Jiang Fei and the two wasted no time as they immediately boarded Manda Group’s newest military aircraft which was headed for the capital.

After an hour or so, Jiang Fei and the two landed at a military airport in the capital.

“Hehe, this is my first visit to the capital. I can’t believe I am actually meeting with the country’s leaders…” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself.

A few months ago, he was only a normal high school student. He had never imagined that he would one day meet with the country’s leaders. The mysterious ring he discovered had indeed thoroughly changed his life.

“Ehh… Ah Fei, please be careful with your words in the meeting later…” Han Tianyu said after hesitating.

“Ehh? Ohh!” Jiang Fei was stunned at first. He then figured out what Han Tianyu was trying to say.

In the world of martial arts, one’s strength was the benchmark for a person’s status. Although Jiang Fei was not very old, he had very strong capabilities. When he first started off in the martial arts world, the Martial Art Alliance had already believed that he was a Level 4 expert. Therefore, he was very respected by them.

Han Tianyu was concerned that Jiang Fei might undermine the government leaders due to their status as normal human beings. If Jiang Fei behaved inappropriately, there might even be a complete breakdown in communication. Moreover, Han Tianyu was there when Jiang Fei had an outburst against the Soaring Cloud Sect. Therefore, Han Tianyu was very much aware that Jiang Fei did not fear the rich or the powerful. If things got out of hand and Jiang Fei wanted to kill any one of the government officials, Han Tianyu would not be able to stop him.

However, Han Tianyu was unnecessarily concerned. Jiang Fei had not been in the metahuman circle for very long. Deep down in his heart, Jiang Fei still thought of himself as being part of the normal humans.

Jiang Fei did not undermine normal humans like the other more traditional metahumans did. He did not think he was better than normal human beings. If not for the Soaring Cloud Sect’s act of kidnapping his parents, Jiang Fei would not have reacted so angrily. On the contrary, Jiang Fei was very mild-tempered. As long as the person did not step over his boundaries, Jiang Fei would normally not feel upset.

“Don’t worry…” Jiang Fei waved his hand to reassure Han Tianyu.

When they came out from the military airport, Jiang Fei and the two were brought to a secret restricted military zone. Then, they arrived at a meeting room with a lieutenant commander’s escort.

“You two, please wait for a while. Han Tianyu, come with me!” The lieutenant commander treated Jiang Fei and Ariel with respect, while he also seemed to be very well-acquainted to Han Tianyu.

“This place is very strange!” Ariel whispered to Jiang Fei after Han Tianyu had left with the lieutenant commander.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Fei asked curiously.

“Didn’t you say that we were meeting with some very important people? Why isn’t there any aura of experts around at all? Aren’t those superiors afraid of being assassinated?” Ariel asked.

“Eh?” Jiang Fei was stunned when he heard what Ariel said. He actually did not sense the presence of any martial artists or metahumans either when they entered the restricted military zone. In the beginning, he did not think too much about it. However, after hearing Ariel out, he agreed that it was rather strange.

Regardless of which leader Jiang Fei was about to meet, the level of security should not be so weak.

Right then, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the meeting room. As the footsteps got closer, Jiang Fei and Ariel began to frown.

From the sounds of footsteps, Ariel and Jiang Fei could clearly tell there were seven people. One of them was Han Tianyu, while the rest were all strangers.

Although the footsteps clearly indicated seven people, Jiang Fei and Ariel could only sense three. It was as if the other four people did not exist.

“How many are there?” Jiang Fei asked Ariel curiously.

“The sounds clearly indicate that there are seven of them. However, I could only sense three!” Ariel frowned.

“What?!” Jiang Fei was shocked. He would not have been worried if he was the only one who could not sense their presence. However, even Ariel who was a Level 5 metahuman could not sense their presence. That meant these four people might have very frightening capabilities. Could the country have already garnered such powers?

Wham! As the meeting room’s door was opened, Han Tianyu was the first to walk in.

Shuffle! Jiang Fei and Ariel stood up at the same time as they both looked toward the door simultaneously.

Han Tianyu stepped aside once he entered the room as he bowed slightly and extended his hands to guide the people behind him. When he saw that Jiang Fei and Ariel both stood up to welcome them, Han Tianyu was secretly overjoyed. He was very pleased that Jiang Fei behaved so respectfully.

Han Tianyu had no idea that Jiang Fei and Ariel had stood up not to welcome the others, but to inspect the four “invisible people”. Jiang Fei dared not underestimate these four individuals who could not even be sensed by Ariel. Ariel, on the other hand, was prepared to fight.

Right then, another kind-looking middle-aged man entered the room. The man was dressed in a military uniform and appeared very calm and collected. One could immediately tell he was a high-ranking military officer. Jiang Fei could vaguely recall seeing this man in the news on the television. Although Jiang Fei could not remember his name, he knew this was an important officer in the military.

The next person to enter the room was a secretarial officer who held a briefcase. This person was clearly the secretary or an aide to the commander. Moreover, the fellow was also a normal human being. Therefore, Jiang Fei did not pay too much attention to him.

The last four people to enter the room gave Jiang Fei a shock. The four individuals seemed to resemble one another completely. They had the same height and physical features. In fact, they even walked with the same pace and posture. Although Jiang Fei had seen twins and the likes, he had never seen them walking in such uniformity. Even the most synchronized twins in the martial arts circle could not do so, let alone quadruplets.

“0541, scan them!” Although it was not very polite to do so, Jiang Fei had no other choice.

“Come, Jiang Fei, let me introduce you. This is Commander Fan Yao, Chief of Staff of the Headquarters of the General Staff!” Han Tianyu initiated the introductions to prevent any awkwardness.

“Hehe, you must be Jiang Fei. I have been wanting to meet you. It sure isn’t easy to get your time!” Fan Yao extended his hand toward Jiang Fei for a handshake.

“Commander Fan, nice to meet you!” Jiang Fei immediately shook hands with Commander Fan Yao. Right then, 0541 had also completed the scan.
