Seeing Dragon King shake his head, Lin Fan had nothing to say, so he tilted his head and downed the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"How many people know about this matter?" Lin Fan asked.

"Besides me, Yang Feng, the higher-ups, and the person handling your documents, no one else knows. But don’t worry, the person handling your documents is under me, I’ve already taken care of it. This news will never leak out," Dragon King confidently said.

Lin Fan didn’t speak, and instead calculated in his mind.

Given the current situation, Lin Fan naturally didn’t want to go back to prison. He could only admit defeat and join the military!

"I can enlist, but you must ensure that this matter doesn’t get out, and... this identity of mine is just a titular role," Lin Fan bargained.

"Rest assured, it will be as you wish," Dragon King said with a smile.

Only then did Lin Fan take out the little notebook and stuff it back into his chest.

However, looking at the national emblem on the notebook, and the deep "Major General" characters inside, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride!

Previously, Lin Fan always felt homeless, like a wanderer. Now, besides being able to find a sense of belonging in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, he also found it in Dragon Garden!

At this time, Bai Weiwei walked in from outside the room. She was slightly surprised to see Lin Fan, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard your cooking skills are quite good, came to scrounge a meal," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Haha! Luckily, I made a lot," Bai Weiwei chuckled.

She smiled and then turned to Dragon King, saying, "Godfather, the meal is ready, we can eat now."

"Alright! Then let’s eat, Yang Feng, you stay too!" Dragon King chuckled.

Yang Feng didn’t dare to disobey Dragon King, he could only nod, and yet he took Bai Weiwei to serve the dishes!

It must be said, the Dragon King’s three meals a day were incredibly sumptuous—braised chicken, pork belly, stewed fish, plus one meat dish, and one vegetarian dish—it was a feast for the senses.

Lin Fan was not polite, picked up a chicken leg and started devouring it. Forced into the military by Dragon King, Lin Fan was feeling irritated, taking it out on the food, devouring one chicken leg and claiming another one as his own.

"Slow down, no one’s fighting you for food, don’t choke!" Bai Weiwei glared at Lin Fan with feigned anger, saying.

"Hehe! How can I resist when Miss Bai’s cooking is so delicious? Come, come, Miss Bai, have a chicken wing. And, Elder Long, you too. I see this chicken butt looks good, I’ll give this to you."

Lin Fan placed the chicken wing into Bai Weiwei’s bowl, then placed the chicken butt in front of Dragon King.

"Lin Fan, how can you give godfather this?" Bai Weiwei protested, quickly removing the chicken butt from Dragon King’s bowl, and placed another chicken wing inside.

Then, she politely savored the chicken wing Lin Fan had given her, relishing it as if it were the best thing in the world, her gaze occasionally drifting to Lin Fan’s ravenous eating, her pretty face brimming with happiness.

With Dragon King’s insight, this small gesture from Bai Weiwei naturally couldn’t escape his notice. He was well aware of Bai Weiwei’s affection for Lin Fan.

In truth, Dragon King also favored Lin Fan, but thinking of the women around Lin Fan, he sighed silently.

After the meal, Yang Feng helped Bai Weiwei tidy the table, while Lin Fan and Dragon King sat like kings—one in a recliner, the other on a stool smoking.

Ring ring ring~

At that moment, Dragon King’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, his eyes, once filled with kind laughter, suddenly tightened and showed a hint of grimness!

Dragon King immediately answered the call, listening to the words from the other side without responding, then slowly hung up.

"Old man, what’s the matter?" Lin Fan curiously asked.

"It’s a big deal!" Dragon King said with a heavy tone.

Seeing the gravity on Dragon King’s face, Lin Fan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. To make a War God Level individual so serious, it must not be a trifling matter.

"You two stop cleaning up, there’s a mission," Dragon King suddenly said.

Yang Feng and Bai Weiwei stopped what they were doing, their expressions turning serious as they looked at Dragon King.

Then, Dragon King said, "The higher-ups just called. It’s reported that the scientist researching technology for us in Africa has been captured. Yang Feng, you’ll go on this mission with them; after all, you used to stay there."

"Yes, Elder Long!" Yang Feng straightened his back and responded loudly.

Then, Dragon King hesitated for a moment but turned to Lin Fan.

When Lin Fan saw Dragon King’s gaze, he suddenly felt a bad premonition and quickly said, "Old man, I have things to do, I’ll be leaving first!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan got up, ready to flee!

"Wait a moment!" Dragon King hurriedly said.

"I say, old man, we just agreed that my Major General title is merely honorary. The scientist’s capture has nothing to do with me, we can’t break our word," Lin Fan quickly said.

"The situation in Africa is chaotic. Our personnel there are already few, and Yang Feng, even though he stayed in Africa for years, is not so familiar with it. Rather, you, who once created a world-shattering war there—this time, I hope you can assist me!"

"Those scientists are extremely important to our country. As a Huaxia citizen, I believe you also wouldn’t want to see the things they research end up being taken by our enemies and used against us, right?"

"Rest assured! This time, it’s on my personal behalf. I hope you can do me this favor—it has nothing to do with the country or anyone else. At my age, I haven’t asked anyone for anything in a long time—surely you won’t refuse me?"

Dragon King pleaded.

Looking at his aged face, filled with sincerity, Lin Fan truly felt a bit soft-hearted, and thus said, "Terms!"

"You little rascal, always taking advantage!" Dragon King chided in mock anger.

"Nothing won without something given! I’m not a saint, Africa is inherently dangerous, what if I get hurt? At least give me some benefit," Lin Fan said indifferently.

Dragon King chuckled bitterly and said, "Alright! If you can help me retrieve those scientists, I’ll agree to one condition within my ability, how about that?"

"Really?" Lin Fan’s eyes instantly lit up.

"When has Dragon King ever gone back on his word?" Dragon King chuckled.

"Haha! You’re quite honorable for an old man, alright, I’ll go to Africa this time. But don’t be smug, my reason for going is mainly because I don’t want to see the scientists’ research end up in the enemy’s hands and used against our country. After all... I’m a Huaxia person too!" Lin Fan said with a cheerful grin.
