Chapter 712: Chapter 714: Tears Well Up, Like Rage But Actually Resentment

“Little Tiger died, so we left.”

Lin Feihu said to An Dehai without paying attention to the verbal sparring between Chen Di and An Dehai, his gaze seemingly calm yet underlain by a profound sadness, revealing the reason he had left Dragon Soul.

An Dehai, who was originally intent on using words to hit and mock Chen Di, thereby making Chen Di give up the idea of taking shelter under Lin Fei to integrate into Dragon Soul,

froze, his tiger-like eyes glaring as his face turned instantly pale upon hearing Lin Fei’s words.

Then, a murderously fierce aura overflowed from him!

This was a much different than Du Zhengting’s usual indifferent response upon hearing from Lin Fei that Little Tiger had passed away.

After regaining his composure, the murderous intent in An Dehai’s tiger-like eyes soared, almost instantly reaching its peak. In a moment, Chen Di’s hospital room seemed to be shrouded in An Dehai’s boundless killing intent.

“Boss, how did Tiger Brother die? With his capabilities, it shouldn’t have happened!”

Affected by his own emotional shift, An Dehai’s voice turned hoarse and much deeper. If a timid person were to hear such a voice in the quiet of the night,

most likely they would feel their hair stand on end, even scream out loud.

Even now, under the soft light of the hospital room, Chen Di couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest due to the hoarse, low timbre of An Dehai’s voice.

It wasn’t that Chen Di was cowardly, although he was privately called a sissy by some soldiers in the Azure Dragon Military District. After all, he had been in the military for a number of years.

Chen Di might look somewhat delicate and scholarly, not as blood-stained as the Special Forces members like An Dehai, but deep down, he still possessed the pride unique to a soldier.

Yet, even so, faced with the outwardly murderous An Dehai, Chen Di couldn’t help but tense up.

From this, one could understand the extent of An Dehai’s burgeoning killing intent!

If one were to say that An Dehai had initially wanted to kill Jiang Yunpeng in rage and recklessness due to feelings of guilt and some resentment toward him for ruining the atmosphere in the Hawk Special Team when he first realized the violent relationship between Lin Fei and Chen Qi,

then now, An Dehai’s heart was devoid of any other emotions.

Only killing intent!

A clean and pure killing intent, without any other thoughts.

Although An Dehai, like Du Zhengting, had not been able to join Dragon Soul with Lin Fei and Little Tiger, due to the bonds forged during their life-and-death struggles in the Hawk Special Team,

both An Dehai and Du Zhengting’s feelings for Little Tiger were certainly no less than those of Lin Fei and Butcher.

Thus, just like Lin Fei and Butcher’s anger at the initial news of Little Tiger’s death,

at this moment, An Dehai’s heart was nearly overwhelmed by anger to the point of eclipsing his rationality due to the fact that Little Tiger had died.

Through killing to avenge Little Tiger!

That was An Dehai’s only thought at this moment.

And it had also been the only thought in the hearts of Lin Fei and Butcher when facing Little Tiger’s life slipping away—

as well as one of the main reasons why Lin Fei and Butcher eventually left Dragon Soul.

Having been almost crazed by grief after Little Tiger’s death, Lin Fei clearly understood the immense sorrow and despair in An Dehai’s heart at this moment.

Therefore, without much hesitation,

Butcher spoke directly to Chen Di, ordering, “No matter what method you use, go get me some liquor. The stronger, the better; the more, the better! Now, immediately, right away!”

Suddenly hearing Lin Fei’s words, Chen Di, who had already turned into a bystander, was somewhat stunned. However, upon catching Lin Fei’s particularly cold gaze,

Chen Di, without any hesitation, immediately sprang up from the hospital bed.

Then, he rushed out of the hospital room at once to get Lin Fei the alcohol.

As for the Special Forces’ prohibition on drinking and the Military District Hospital’s strict no-alcohol signs and edicts, clearly, they were not within Chen Di’s consideration.

After all, being a major and the third spokesperson of the Azure Dragon Military District, Chen Di did have some privileges in the army.

Even if he was caught by the Military Affairs Office, Chen Di obviously wasn’t afraid.

After all, his brother-in-law was from Dragon Soul.

Although it seemed that he was retired due to certain matters. But a retired Dragon Soul member was still a Dragon Soul member!

With the reputation of Dragon Soul, clearly no local Military Affairs Office would cause trouble for Lin Fei over a little drinking issue.

…

“Boss, tell me, how did Tiger die?!”

After Chen Di left the ward, An Dehai’s murderous intent became even stronger! His voice was more hoarse and deep. Clearly, An Dehai was on the verge of exploding.

“Three years ago, during a mission, we made a strategic error and were surrounded. At that time, I had some important intelligence on me, and there were too many enemies. We were trapped in the mountains for seven days and nights, with no support arriving. Little Tiger sacrificed himself to cover our escape. Afterwards, we wiped out the enemy’s base. Then, we left.”

Seeing An Dehai’s unstable emotions and after explaining to him, Lin Fei voluntarily moved closer to An Dehai, patted his shoulder, and said, “I understand how you feel. When Little Tiger died, I felt the same as you. But, it’s all in the past now, and we’ve avenged Little Tiger. If you want to cry, just cry it out. It might make you feel a bit better after crying.”

Men do not readily shed tears, only at the depths of sorrow. To those uninformed, Lin Fei’s words might sound awkward.

But An Dehai understood clearly.

An Dehai did not just understand Lin Fei’s comfort in his tears. He also understood the hidden sorrow in Lin Fei’s explanation of Tiger’s death.

To the common person, the ‘too many enemies’ part of Lin Fei’s words might not be comprehensible. As the leader of the Hawk Special Team, who had fought shoulder to shoulder with Lin Fei and Butcher, An Dehai was clearly aware.

A few dozen more were child’s play, one or two hundred was like a family game, five to six hundred was nothing; one or two thousand was a bit annoying, and only when it surpassed three thousand could it be called ‘too many enemies’!

As for Lin Fei’s mention of being trapped by the enemy in the mountains for seven days and nights, An Dehai could even imagine the desperate situation they faced, with Lin Fei and Butcher calling out to heaven without response and to earth without echo.

With these thoughts, the immense rage that was originally rising to the peak in An Dehai’s tiger-like eyes involuntarily transformed into tears and overflowed.

The tears were not simply out of sadness; putting aside the grief of learning about Little Tiger’s death,

The tears that welled in An Dehai’s eyes represented much more — rage!

Rage that he wasn’t there to fight alongside them,

Rage that he couldn’t take Little Tiger’s place,

Rage that he couldn’t personally exact revenge on their enemies,

Rage over his own powerlessness…
