The unreasonable demand made by Lin Fei was unlikely to be accepted, even Lin Fei himself knew that. However, it was a way of testing the upper echelons of Mo Country. Whether or not they agreed wasn't the point; what mattered was their response.

The sudden promotion to Admiral caught Lin Fei off guard, completely beyond his expectations. He didn't like things he couldn't control, so he made the unreasonable demand to disrupt the other party's moves and regain his footing.

Silently waiting for Song Jiang's response, Song Jiang seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time. The sky gradually began to lighten, and the fish-belly white hue was appearing outside.

The Butcher and a few others were quietly observing the situation from a corner. At this moment, Liu Xiaoya was already asleep in the Butcher's arms. She was exhausted from such prolonged fear and worry, falling asleep but occasionally waking up in fear, then calming down after seeing the Butcher, and soon falling asleep again.

Beside him, Xue Zhi and Radar both shook their heads helplessly upon seeing the deep affection on Butcher's face. They hadn't expected that the roughest person among them would be the first to find love, which was surprising to both of them.

However, they were all happy for the Butcher, after all, their brother finding someone he loved was something to be celebrated, although they all harbored some concerns they didn't voice.

As the minutes ticked away, it seemed there was a discussion happening on the Mo Country high-level side, with no answer given to Song Jiang, who still stood in the villa, taking calls and waiting for a response.

The sun was blazing hot, and the sun was active overhead when finally, Song Jiang heard the voice from the other end of the phone, after which he returned to the villa with a serious expression.

"So, what's the result?" Lin Fei asked.

Despite a sleepless night, no one present showed any signs of fatigue, especially Song Jiang, who looked up at Lin Fei and said, "Admiral Lin Fei, I really want to know who you are to have such power."

"Does that mean... it worked?" Lin Fei asked, a bit unsure.

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Mo Country high-level agreed to your demand, but..."

"But what?" Lin Fei was not happy because those two words could potentially change everything.

However, Lin Fei's worries were unfounded. Song Jiang merely said, "But there's a condition: you must go to the Capital City within a month to accept your appointment."

"Is that all?" Lin Fei was a bit incredulous. Had his unreasonable demands really been accepted? It was too unbelievable.

"Yes, no other conditions."

Even Song Jiang found it incredible that the Mo Country high-level he believed in would agree to such unreasonable demands. This effectively made Lin Fei an unrestrained yet high-ranking figure in Mo Country, a kind of power Mo Country hadn't seen.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now. I'll head to the Capital City within the month." Lin Fei said.

Song Jiang was momentarily speechless at Lin Fei's calm reaction, really unable to fathom his thoughts, unable to keep up with Lin Fei's line of thinking.

"Admiral Lin Fei, I take my leave now." Song Jiang said before turning to leave the villa, taking his troops with him.

Soon after, the Butcher and others came in from outside, with Radar immediately asking, "Boss, what happened?"

"Have a seat first, and then we'll talk," Lin Fei replied.

Mu Shanshan then said to Lin Fei, "You guys go ahead and chat, I'll prepare some food for you, you must be hungry, we can talk while eating."

In no time, Aunt Lan brought out plates of dishes and filled the table. Everyone sat down, and Lin Fei raised his glass and said, "Today, this is considered a celebratory meal."

"Boss, what are we celebrating? We don't get it." The Butcher asked.

"Haha, you might not know, but I have now become an Admiral of Mo Country!"

His words shocked everyone. Except for Mu Shanshan and Mu Hong, the Butcher and Radar were all astonished, but soon after, they became a bit worried.

Lin Fei naturally knew what was on their minds. After all, being brothers for so many years, they could almost guess what each was thinking, so Lin Fei explained what had happened, and his brothers immediately cheered for him.

"Boss, you're amazing! Such a bold demand, and Mo Country actually agreed; it's inconceivable." Radar said.

"Exactly, Boss, what are the Mo Country high-levels thinking; why would they agree to such unreasonable demands?" Xue Zhi also couldn't understand.

In contrast, Lin Fei was much calmer. He said, "I think there are highlights to Mo Country high-levels' decision. Firstly, they know our identities, so they want to draw our forces to their side."

At this point, the Butcher spoke, "But isn't it true that Mo Country dislikes mercenaries the most?"

"Yet amongst mercenaries, Mo Country has the most, barring a few exceptions. The state might ban it, but sometimes mercenaries are the best choice," Xue Zhi explained.

Xue Zhi was right. Though the country seemed stable to outsiders, undercurrents flowed beneath, with ongoing struggles, and it was one of the origin places of Mercenaries.

"Boss, what's the second point you mentioned?" Radar asked.

Lin Fei said, "The second point is more dangerous. They might be setting a trap for me. They want me to go to the Capital City within a month to attend the appointment ceremony, and if it's a trap, it won't be surprising."

"If it's a trap, Boss, will you still go?" the Butcher asked.

Lin Fei shrugged and said, "Come what may. Even if it's a trap, I want to see for myself what the Mo Country high-levels are planning by laying out this trap."

"Boss, then let us stay together and not leave at all." The Butcher proposed.

"There's no need for that. You should return. Hell's Judgement can't function without its primary members. So go back, I can handle things here myself." Lin Fei said.

Lin Fei's decision was unchangeable, so it was finally settled: the Butcher and the three of them would leave the day after tomorrow to go abroad, but before leaving, the Butcher needed to settle things with Liu Xiaoya for them to leave more at ease.

The next day.

The Butcher followed Liu Xiaoya to her home. Upon arriving, the Butcher witnessed what true poverty was.

Old brick-tiled houses, walls full of cracks.
