Chapter 1005: Chapter 1110: It Can’t Get Any Higher

An elderly man with graying hair and wearing spectacles that suggested a kindly demeanor signed his name on a top-secret document, then he closed the folder.

After removing and neatly folding his spectacles, placing them in their designated spot on the desk, the gentle old man stretched his neck.

The assistant, who had served the old man for many years, knew that he had finished his current task and approached the desk.

"Pass down the orders I’ve signed, and file the document away."

After instructing the assistant to handle the documents in the usual manner, the old man smiled and asked, "What’s on the agenda for today?"

"Commander, the morning is clear, and there is a meeting at three in the afternoon that requires your attendance."

"Oh, I’m aware of the meeting. Is that the only thing for today?"

"Yes, Commander. Today’s meeting is important, and you haven’t scheduled anything else."

"Very good. No pending tasks and nothing urgent to handle. Today seems to be a rare day of leisure. Oh, I see that look on your face. What is it that you want to say? Has something happened that requires my attention?"

"No, Commander. It’s just that there’s something I thought you should know about. It’s not urgent but quite interesting."

The old man leaned back in his chair, placing both hands on his stomach, and chuckled, "Interesting? It’s been a long time since something interesting happened around here. Do tell."

"It’s like this: something big occurred at the training camp yesterday. A young agent, an Asian no less, accomplished something extraordinary — in twenty-four hours, he managed to read through the flight manuals for both the C130 and the F16 aircraft. And then, he successfully completed a simulated flight. Hmm, he also won Hegelhaus’ pistol."

"Hegelhaus? The flight instructor at the training camp?"

"Yes."

"His issued gun? The M1911 with the ivory handle?"

"Yes, Commander. Hegelhaus admitted defeat himself. He made a bet with the trainee, and then he lost his gun."

The old man stroked his chin and chuckled, "One of ours?"

The assistant looked slightly embarrassed and whispered, "No, he’s from administration..."

The old man expressed mild surprise. "Someone from administration?"

"Uh, there’s more. The same person defeated two master-class instructors in hand-to-hand combat, Weiss and Hudson, and also... Mathewson."

The old man looked extremely surprised. "Defeated Mathewson?"

"Yes, Mathewson lost, and it was quite a defeat."

Knowing the Commander disliked suspenseful reveals, the assistant made sure not to leave any loose ends while recounting the event.

"Hmm, Mathewson was beaten badly?"

"Yes, an overwhelming defeat."

The old man burst into laughter and said, "Quite interesting. An Asian youth from administration creates a miracle in flying and defeats one of the best fighters in operations. I had thought him a genius, but geniuses usually give the impression of being very brainy but inevitably terrible in athletics. So, has this young man from administration mastered flying skills long ago?"

"It’s said not. He mastered flying the T-6A in one day. He only took twenty-four hours to read the flight manuals and flew the C130 and F16 in the simulator. We can confirm he has no prior foundation, as Hegelhaus insists on this point."

The old man rested his hand on his chin, smiling. "Interesting, very interesting indeed. What’s this young man’s name?"

"Yang Yi, from the security section of administration. He has just recently started working at headquarters, reportedly transferred back from abroad."

"Indeed, very interesting. Anything else you know?"

"Apologies, Commander. These are all the details for now. If you wish to know more..."

"No need. Go about your business, and oh, thank you for telling me this amusing news. Ha ha, it’s been a long time since such an interesting young man has emerged."

As the assistant left, the old man pondered for a moment before suddenly snatching the telephone from the desk and quickly spoke, "This is Aaron. I hear there’s a promising young man at the training camp, his name is Yang Yi. That’s the name. Send me his file, the more detailed, the better."

Without any further statement, Aaron hung up and sat back in the chair, reflecting for a while before smiling faintly, saying, "Fascinating, truly fascinating."

Aaron appeared very amiable, but everyone knew that this seemingly kind old man was quite different in character. If one satisfied him, he would be a kind old man; if one failed to please him, he would show his authoritative side.

Therefore, it wasn’t long before someone in formal attire knocked on Aaron’s door.

"Commander, here’s the information you requested."

"Good, hand it to me."

Aaron put on his spectacles and opened the freshly printed document.

After a short while, Aaron said in surprise, "He’s been here less than a month, has a good relationship with Walter, and even gave Walter a luxury SUV?"

"Yes, Commander. Moreover, unconfirmed reports suggest that Yang Yi has bought two luxury homes and several luxury cars. He seldom came to the office after arriving at headquarters and quickly joined the training camp."

Aaron smiled. "He was transferred from abroad, don’t we know where he was before?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon uncovered, Commander."

Aaron turned a page and came across a chart, reading with a smile, "A real genius, huh? Combat skills rated A++++?"

"Yes, Commander, that assessment is very credible. I’ve sought the opinions of Hudson and Commander Mathewson. Another matter—Commander Mathewson’s subordinates scheduled another combat event with him. Although it was originally a private contest, Yang Yi seems to have turned it into a battle of dignity between the operations and administration."

Taking a breath, Aaron remarked, "Learning ability also A++? Two ultra-high evaluations?"

"Commander, I need to explain about this aspect. Based on his performance in flight training, if there is no fraud, the only reason he’s rated A++ is because we don’t have a higher ranking to give."

Aaron nodded. "A rare genius, a true genius, but his shooting..."

Lifting his gaze, Aaron expressed surprise. "Handgun shooting only D? And as for the rifle, a D rating as well?"

"Indeed, Commander. Based on his current shooting skills and training performance, his pistol shooting remains at a D level. It may be possible to reach a C level with further training, but that seems to be the limit. As for rifle skills, D level is the highest rating possible. This conclusion was unanimously drawn by our people after observing his performance. Although he trains hard, his shooting really is poor."

Aaron laughed. "At least he didn’t get an E rating, which means he at least knows how to fire a gun. Hmm, yes, if his shooting could reach A level, then I’d have to suspect he’s an alien. Ha ha ha..."
