Chapter 314: Your Family Has to Give Me Face

“I’m finally back home.”

“I’m back again.”

“It’s been more than half a year. I wonder what’s going on at home.”

“You miss your wife, right?”

“Don’t you miss yours? Sorry, I forgot. You’re still single.”

…

It would take more than half a year to complete a mission. This time was considered quite rare here.

The members of the 14th emergency team were also eager to go home.

In fact, Lugh also wanted to go home.

Lugh said loudly, “Hold on a little longer. We’ll go back to the barracks. I’ll talk to the higher-ups and see if I can give you a month’s vacation.”

Daler asked, “Can they really give you a month’s vacation?”

“It should be possible,” Lugh said. “As long as there’s no urgent mission.”

Turner smiled and said, “If it was Lugh who opened his mouth, based on his contributions, even Captain Bania might have to give him face.”

“That’s right. I also want to take a vacation.” Gaden got off the train and smiled. “When the time comes, I’ll leave it to Captain Lugh.”

“I’ll try my best. I’ll try my best.”

After returning to the emergency team, the 14th emergency team was still as clean as new.

Lugh brought Turner, Daler, Charles, Gaden, and Gary directly to the headquarters of the Emergency Response Team.

Since Bania was not there, Lugh went straight to Vice-Captain Barnard.

Just as Lugh entered Barnard’s office, Barnard stood up from his seat. “Lugh, you’re finally back.”

“Vice-Captain Barnard, long time no see.”

“You’ve done very well.” Barnard looked at Lugh, his face full of smiles. “General Paul has praised you several times in the high-level meetings over the past six months.”

“This is what I should do.”

“Don’t be modest. Your contributions are just there. No one can erase them.”

Barnard pointed at the sofa and said, “Sit, all of you sit. Where’s Clive? Where the hell is he? Hurry up and serve tea. He doesn’t have any eyesight at all.”

Adjutant Clive jogged over and brought six cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table.

Lugh picked up the tea and thanked him.

“You’re welcome.”

After that, Clive left and the door was closed, Barnard continued, “The military is extremely satisfied with the work of your squad. You’ve swept through almost all of the strongholds of the Beast God Cult in the Southwest and North. In just half a year’s time, you’ve completely exceeded our expectations.”

Barnard was very clear about the work of Lugh’s team.

Other than Lugh reporting the progress of the mission regularly, the Guardians that the Special Operations Team passed by also reported the situation to the Southwest Military.

Turner said, “The main reason is that Captain Lugh’s ability is too strong.”

Charles smiled and said, “Except for the first fight, we didn’t do much after that.”

Gaden smiled and said, “I’m just a driver.”

Barnard waved his hand and said, “Don’t be too modest. You all have a share of the credit. You all should rest for a few days and wait for the meeting of the higher-ups of the military to decide.”

“Vice-Captain Barnard, can you give the members of the emergency team and the Worm Train No. 1056 crew a month of long vacation?” Lugh asked, “They have been traveling for more than half a year and haven’t gone home for the New Year.”

“Sure. One month then. If there is no emergency, we won’t summon them.” Barnard nodded, “But you don’t have such a long vacation. Go and rest for ten days first. Don’t leave Skylight City. General Paul and the others may want to see you.”

“Thank you, Vice-Captain Barnard.”

“The main thing is that you have completed your mission very well and solved a big problem for our Southwest Military Department.”

Returning to the 14th Emergency Response Team, Lugh directly announced the news that they would be on vacation for a month.

The entire 14th Emergency Response Team members were in an uproar.

A month’s vacation for the Emergency Response Team was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lugh smiled and said, “Gaden, go and inform the crew members.”

“Okay.”

Gaden said, “Those guys have wanted to go home for a long time. They will definitely be very happy when they hear this news.”

“Turner, Daler, Charles, I have to troubled you for the past half a year.”

“There’s no trouble at all.” Turner smiled and said, “We have a very good cooperation. For the past half a year, which one of us have been on vacation? I hope we can work together again next time.”

“Captain Lugh, I hope we can work together again next time.”

…

Soon, almost all the members of the 14th emergency team had run away.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the members of the emergency team, Skylight City would ask the members of the emergency team to bring their families to live in Skylight City.

Most of the members of the emergency team didn’t resist this order.

Because in the entire Southwest Region, Skylight City was the safest place.

By bringing their families to Skylight City, even if they all died in battle, as long as they didn’t make a big mistake, their family members could still live in Skylight City permanently.

…

Of course, there were a few who had nothing to lose.

As soon as Lugh walked out of his office, he saw Lucy sitting in his office.

“Aren’t you going back?”

Lucy put down the document in her hand and shook her head. “No.”

“Why not?”

Lucy lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

“Go back.” Lugh said in a low voice, “I think your father still wants to see you.”

“Really?”

“If he didn’t love you, he wouldn’t have put in so much effort to save your life and get you out of prison.”

Lucy sighed deeply. “But I’ve caused a great loss to the family. My relatives…”

Lugh could roughly deduce that the family behind Lucy should be a large family.

This kind of family power was not rare in this world.

The traditional family concept of the Illumination Empire had been continuing.

Before the great calamity, the family concept of the Illumination Empire’s people had been constantly weakened.

But after the great calamity, facing this dangerous world, the relationship between blood relatives had once again become closer.

After all, blood relatives were more reliable than other strangers, and they could support each other.

“I think you can go back with your head held high.”

Lucy raised her head and looked at Lugh, her cold face filled with doubt.

“Because you’re my adjutant.” Lugh patted her shoulder. “I’m not arrogant. I think that if the family behind you is a little more sensible, they have to give me some face. Otherwise, I’ll lead a team to raid your house one day.”

Lucy pursed her lips and tried her best to control her expression.

Or rather, she didn’t know what kind of emotions she had to show.

Lugh said that he wanted to raid her house. Of course, she knew that he was joking.

She understood what Lugh meant.

Did Lucy’s family really have to give Lugh some face?

Lucy knew that if she was the head of the family, then she would definitely give him some face.

Lugh was destined to have a boundless future.

After following Lugh for more than half a year, she had personally witnessed his terrifying strength and the speed at which he increased his strength.

She had also witnessed Lugh’s terrifying personal ability.

In just half a year, the Beast God Cult that had wreaked havoc in the Northwestern part of the Illumination Empire had yet to grow. When it erupted, it was forcefully strangled to death in the womb by Lugh’s team.

In the past, some people had commented that Lugh was likely to become the next Paul and be in charge of the Southwest.

However, Lucy believed that saying that Lugh would become the next Paul was definitely underestimating Lugh.

“Oh right, is your family in Skylight City?”

“It’s the inner city of Skylight City. Why?”

Lugh smiled. “You don’t mind me paying a visit, do you?”

Lucy looked at Lugh in a daze. She understood what Lugh meant.

Lugh directly ordered, “Pack your things. We’ll set off in twenty minutes. Your father is the person-in-charge of the Pavilion of Treasures. I want to get to know him. Can you help me introduce him?”

“Yes… Major Lugh.”

Lucy returned to her dormitory and quietly tidied up her things.

Looking at the family photo on the desk, her tears fell one by one.

Seventeen minutes later, Lucy felt the entrance of the camp.

At this time, there were no traces of tears on her face.

When Lugh arrived, it was exactly twenty minutes.

He went to Barnard’s place and reported the visit to Lucy’s house.

“Get in the car.”

Lugh got into the military car, and Lucy got on the passenger seat.

The military car entered the city and entered the inner city of Skylight City.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar road, Lucy felt a little uneasy.

She had not dared to go home for more than half a year.
