Chapter 656: Chapter 655: Can’t Swallow This Breath_1

"Captain Luo Qi is right. As long as we can make that kid leave on his own, even King can’t blame us,"

"I heard Adam went to deal with that kid, wonder what happened?"

While they were talking, Adam came in, a grim look on his face.

"So, did you drive that kid away?" someone asked.

Adam’s face soured even more at the question. He was embarrassed to admit that he hadn’t even laid a finger on him.

He could only snort, "I’ve challenged that shrimp to a duel! I’ll show him my power!"

Captain Luo Qi, being the lead captain, naturally had keener insight than the others.

Hearing Adam’s words, he knew Adam hadn’t fared well.

But he didn’t say much, only pulled out a token from his pocket.

"Since you’ve challenged him, make it formal!"

Having said that, Luo Qi put the token in Adam’s hand, then calmly got up and left.

As for how the others might help Adam, he didn’t care.

With Luo Qi gone, the group relayed their previous discussion’s conclusions to Adam.

"The lead captain means for you to give that kid a real challenge. The Dark Empire always promotes based on combat prowess. As long as you’re stronger than that kid, the position of squad leader is yours."

"Adam, we’re all rooting for you. With this challenge token, even if you kill that kid right on the challenge platform, no one would dare say a word."

"Exactly, that loser, you could easily crush him!"

Adam was already furious. Now, with these words of encouragement, he couldn’t wait to wipe out that useless shrimp right away!

Just as he was about to rush out of the meeting room with his team, Linxi appeared.

Seeing Linxi, Adam immediately changed his demeanor, chuckling awkwardly, "Miss Linxi, what are you doing here?"

"I heard everything you all said," Linxi said, her expression unreadable.

Unable to gauge her thoughts, Adam explained, "Miss Linxi, we’re just looking out for you and the lead captain. This Wesley guy has been here for a day and already stirred up so much trouble. King listens to him like his word is law. If this continues, Wesley will steal the lead captain’s position."

"Absolutely! Who does this nobody think he is, giving orders in the Dark Empire? He isn’t worthy!"

Linxi noted their indignant expressions, a hint of satisfaction flitting through her eyes.

But she maintained a calm demeanor.

"I understand, you’re all upset about Wesley being made squad leader."

"But you must trust King as well. There’s a reason for his decision. Maybe Wesley has some special abilities."

"Special abilities! Miss Linxi, you’ve been fooled. I saw him coming out of King’s room earlier. He’s only won King’s favor by prostituting himself. We can’t let him remain in the Dark Empire!"

The room erupted in further discontent.

So, that was why King had brought that shrimp back.

While the Dark Empire had all kinds, liking men wasn’t unheard of.

But King was their leader. If he were swayed by this man, wouldn’t the Dark Empire be ruined?

This scourge must be eliminated in advance.

Linxi remained silent at Adam’s words.

But with a sudden swift movement, a sharp scalpel slashed across his cheek, drawing blood.

"This is a warning! Anyone who dares to gossip about King behind his back, my next cut won’t be on your face,"

Adam was taken aback.

"Miss Linxi, don’t you think King has changed?"

He had always had a crush on Linxi. If not for her, he wouldn’t have strived to join the Hidden Guard competition for squad leader.

He’d finally earned a promotion but had not only failed to get Linxi’s attention but was now being humiliated by a lowly manservant.

He couldn’t swallow this injustice!
