My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife

Chapter 1321 - 1319: Tit for Tat

The senior leader smiled awkwardly, but had nothing to say.Yang Chen looked at the old chief, and said plainly: "I know you’re very busy, old chief. I’m not sure what you need me for. If there’s nothing urgent, I won’t disturb you any further."

Although the senior leader followed orders from the old chief without fail.

But all along, the senior leader treated him, the Dragon Tooth Squad, and Ye Xin well.

Yang Chen couldn’t stand this attitude from the old chief.

Since that maritime incident, Yang Chen harbored no good feelings towards the old chief, so he spoke without reservation.

The old chief’s face showed a hint of awkwardness, deeply looking at Yang Chen before sitting down: "I want to hear your report on Xibo."

Yang Chen replied lightly: "Hasn’t the senior leader briefed you?"

He couldn’t believe the old chief was completely unaware.

The old chief’s face flashed with a touch of anger, his voice stern: "I need to hear your report! You are the direct commander, the direct participant; I need your report and opinion!"

"Ok!" Yang Chen sat up straight, reporting: "We tracked based on intelligence to the urban village..."

Yang Chen reported the circumstances bit by bit, letting the old chief listen.

He continued until Shimura Shinko left.

"That’s the process. After leaving the Sea Region, we had no means to continue the attack," Yang Chen said.

"Who ordered you to attack?" The old chief asked coldly.

"I did it myself!" Yang Chen replied plainly.

"Yourself?" The old chief snorted with some anger: "Do you realize that by doing this, you could have provoked a conflict and sparked a war!"

"I do! But I also know very well that they wouldn’t dare!" Yang Chen replied lightly.

If he hadn’t had that confidence, there was no way Yang Chen would have opted to act.

"How do you know they wouldn’t dare! Do you realize that you’re putting Flame Country in a dangerous position! Who gave you the authority to issue such orders! Can you assume such consequences?" The old chief shouted angrily.

Yang Chen looked at the old chief, eyes slightly narrowed, "Old chief! I’m not sure if you’re getting senile, or I’m having memory lapses, but weren’t you the ones who contacted me to execute this mission in the first place? Furthermore, someone personally issued the order, granting me full authority, including the power of life and death! What? Forgotten already? I have retired and am outside your jurisdiction. The reason I’m willing to strike is due to the threat of that thing, and my patriotic heart, not because of your power, nor following your orders!"

Yang Chen said all this in one go, intending to show the old chief that he is no longer their pawn, and shouldn’t be controlled.

He is willing to act for Flame Country, but does not belong to them!

Since they came to him to execute the mission, placing all authority in his hands, ultimately whatever decision Yang Chen makes, and whatever the outcome, they have no right to hold him accountable!

"You!" The old chief was clearly infuriated, glaring fiercely.

The senior leader kept signaling Yang Chen, telling him not to be so direct, but Yang Chen ignored him completely.

Thus, the senior leader could only secretly tug at the old chief, signaling him not to lose his temper at Yang Chen.

After all, the old chief is skilled at maintaining his composure, quickly controlling his emotions, yet still saying three "goods" consecutively, indicating how angry he was inside.

"Very well!" The old chief said: "You say you were willing to complete the mission out of patriotism, but what about the result? You knew the danger of those things, so why let them take the stuff away! Do you realize the consequences this could cause!"

"I’m well aware!"

"Then why let him go!"

"Because he escaped the Sea Region, and on the other side, they have their aircraft carrier."

"Nonsense!" The old chief reprimanded angrily: "You can target their warship, but you can’t act against that person? Can’t capture him alive, and can’t eliminate him?"

Yang Chen sneered lightly, a cold smile on his lips, saying nothing, and just watched the old chief, letting him reprimand.

"Now the experimental subject is in the hands of Beihai Country! Who knows what kind of monster they’ll release! Perhaps they’ll even act against our Flame Country! There’s clear precedence for this! During wartime, those Beihai Country people committed atrocities; aren’t you aware of this? As a member of the Guard, I can’t believe you lack such historical knowledge!"

"Also! Do you think sinking those warships was glorious? Letting them take a loss without words! Ha! Have you ever seen Beihai Country people willing to take a loss? They flounder in your hands, only to scrape returns from the Flame Country people later. In just a few days, three fishing boats have already been sunk!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed, coldly speaking: "So arrogant, are you doing nothing to stop it?"

"How to stop!" The old chief retorted angrily: "They went out of the Sea Region themselves. How can we act? There’s no tangible evidence!"

Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, the chill in his eyes flickering like the glint on the edge of a blade, unwilling to withdraw without shedding blood.

Previously, Flame Country had to endure humiliation, no matter the immense disgrace, it could only voice strong condemnations.

Now, with steadily increasing strength, there’s capability to contend with the enemy.

Flame Country is at a crucial stage of development now, unable to engage in external battles.

Why did the old chief retreat?

He clearly has a skilled black-robed Guard Squad, with mysterious capacities, fully capable of executing such tasks.

Yang Chen looked deeply at the old chief, saying: "I can provide you an explanation."

The old chief stared at Yang Chen, waiting for his answer.

"Firstly, it’s not that I couldn’t kill Shimura Shinko! The reason he could leave is because I allowed him to!"

"Why!" The old chief asked angrily: "Don’t you understand the terror of the experimental subject!?"

"Of course!" Yang Chen replied: "Indeed, because I understood the horror of the experimental subject, that’s why I let him go! Because if I opened fire, the experimental subject might plunge into the sea, parasites infecting the waters, endangering the entire world! Attacking it was utterly impossible! That’s why I had to engage solo combat, also causing the Dawn Squad’s number one captain to sustain a severe injury and amputation!"

The old chief’s brows furrowed into a deep crease, without questioning further.
