Chapter 686 - 331: Fighting Spirit Ignited

The female soldier’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Su Jiameng’s straightforward threat, revealing a hint of gloominess, "It’s not that we don’t agree, it’s just that the ages of you five don’t meet the requirements; you’re all too young. It’s very dangerous here, with countless people dying every day. You’re young, with a bright future ahead. Why insist on throwing your life away here?"

Her words seemed like concern and persuasion, yet carried an inexplicable sense of discord. Anyone with normal judgment would find it hard to associate her with "good intentions." It seemed more like she was deliberately obstructing them from processing the documents. Su Jiameng was about to suspect if Qi Alaruo was behind this, but then she realized she was overthinking it. This female soldier was just eager to leave work, and processing the paperwork would take considerable time.

"Rest assured about that. We know our limits. I won’t say we can come and go unhindered, but walking sideways is still feasible." Su Jiameng pointed to her face, "I know I’m a minor, but in this world, age doesn’t equate to strength. You, having seen a lot, should feel this more... Wouldn’t you agree?"

As soon as the words fell, an aura so oppressive it seemed to stifle the soul enveloped the entire office. Su Jiameng’s expression was already somber, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking extremely sinister and eerie, sending chills down one’s spine. She spoke slowly, "Can we process the paperwork now?"

Fortunately, the female soldier was sitting. Had she been standing, she would certainly have ended up on her knees out of disgrace. The oppressive telekinesis had firmly locked onto her. If she dared utter "no," the next moment would spell disaster!

"You’re threatening an official of the Alliance!" The female soldier felt a surge of fear, unable to believe someone would dare to use force to threaten her. This was the territory of the Alliance Military Department. It would be one thing if they didn’t flatter her, but to dare threaten her?

"Not only can I threaten, I can kill too..." Su Jiameng pushed the hilt of her Xihe Blade with her thumb, partially unsheathing it to reveal its glistening, icy blade. The sharp edge flashed before the other person’s eyes, as she smiled maliciously, "Who among those daring enough to seek fortune here is afraid of death? Who doesn’t have their head tied around their waist? If you’re wasting my time, you’re blocking my path to wealth. Taking a life wouldn’t bother anyone, right? After all, it’s quite chaotic here..."

Liang Xiaonuo glanced at Su Jiameng, who was standing at her front left, and cautiously took a step back in the opposite direction after some thought. She felt it was necessary to reassess this partner; she hadn’t expected such a dense aura of wicked eccentricity after her dark transformation!

Su Jiameng’s threat was indeed potent. The female soldier had given up her plan to send away Su Jiameng and her group of five to leave work early for a celebration, and instead, tremblingly began working on their paperwork, registering their relevant information. But when she saw the passage cards in their hands, her hand trembled involuntarily... because the card bore the personal authorization of an Alliance Admiral, and the name on it was Yu Feng!

She didn’t expect these five fierce figures to be subordinates personally assigned by the Admiral. She had actually tried to send them away to finish work early... Realizing this, the female soldier’s fingers trembled slightly, as she processed their documents as quickly as possible.

As this was territory remaining from the Insect Race, the danger level was extremely high. Having such a registration job was both safe and secure, with fixed holiday rests. Life couldn’t be sweeter. Losing this position due to such a blunder and being reassigned by superiors to patrol or clear out the Insect Race in high-risk zones like the Life Forbidden Zone would be a death sentence!

"Here’s your passage documents." The female soldier discreetly wiped away her sweat. This was probably the fastest efficiency she’d ever displayed since taking the job, without a bit of procrastination. She handed over the documents formally, and habitually added, "These documents are valid for six months. After six months, regardless of circumstances, you’ll need to return here to either cancel the information or extend the document’s validity."

Six months? Su Jiameng felt a bit uneasy. This was the Dark West Corner Star Domain, with an exceptionally large number of planets. Who knew where that Insect Race was. They’d need to search planet by planet. Unless they had extraordinary luck, six months surely wouldn’t suffice.

"Six months it is. We’ll remember." Su Jiameng handed the five documents to the group and prepared to leave.
