But this was far from over. Ye Luo walked towards Qiu Jie, his eyes flashing a cold light, his body emanating a terrifying aura that made everyone present feel a trace of fear.

"What... what do you want to do?" Watching Ye Luo approach, Qiu Jie’s eyes flickered, a thick sense of unease spreading throughout his body.

"Ye Luo!"

Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but call out as she watched Ye Luo, but he still walked up to Qiu Jie and said coldly,

"You previously mocked Ruo Bing for being disabled in strength, only at the Early Phase of the Innate Realm, a cripple not worthy of being the deputy team leader. Now I’m going to tell you."

"Even if Ruo Bing is only at the Early Phase of the Innate Realm, you are not qualified to be the deputy team leader, because I will make sure you won’t even have the strength of the Early Phase of the Innate Realm."

Having said this, Ye Luo charged at Qiu Jie, throwing a fierce punch at the location of Qiu Jie’s Dantian.

Immediately, Qiu Jie’s complexion changed, his eyes flashing with terror as he screamed, "No!"

"Ye Luo, stop!"

At that moment, Zhao Gang, He Fang, and others hurried forward. Seeing this, Zhao Gang’s face changed, and he quickly shouted, rushing over, but it was already too late.

With one punch, Ye Luo smashed right onto Qiu Jie’s Dantian in his abdomen. The horrific strength was unleashed, completely shattering his Dantian on the spot, and the resulting force shattered all his meridians, thoroughly rendering Qiu Jie a cripple.

Soon after, Qiu Jie spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his Peak Innate Realm strength dissipated into nothingness, his eyes filled with the color of death, mixed with a tinge of despair.

"Sigh!"

Zhao Gang appeared beside Ye Luo, and couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at Qiu Jie.

Meanwhile, everyone at the base was stunned, never having expected Ye Luo to be so ruthless, to utterly destroy Qiu Jie’s life’s worth of martial arts.

This made Qiu Jie’s situation even more tragic. Just a moment ago, he was mocking Leng Ruobing’s diminished strength, and now he himself had become a cripple. How unpredictable life is!

"Someone, take Qiu Jie to the hospital."

Zhao Gang said, and two officers from the security bureau quickly came over, helping Qiu Jie up. His gaze, full of twisted hatred, landed on Ye Luo as he was assisted away.

"Ye Luo, you really are impulsive!" Zhao Gang said looking at Ye Luo.

"He mocked Ruo Bing and insulted her. This is what he deserves. If it weren’t for the fact that he is a part of the security bureau, he would be dead by now," Ye Luo snorted coldly.

Standing beside them, Leng Ruobing heard Ye Luo’s words, her delicate body trembling slightly, her eyes revealing a complex look, her heart stirring slightly.

"If you had done this earlier, it would have been one thing, but Qiu Jie’s brother Qiu Ming has just advanced to the Saint Realm, becoming a Saint Realm master. Now that you’ve made his brother a cripple, this matter, once known to him, probably won’t end peacefully," Zhao Gang said in a deep voice to Ye Luo.

"Whatever, I don’t mind making him and his brother both cripples," Ye Luo said with an unmatched domineering tone, and Zhao Gang’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise as he watched Ye Luo.

"Could it be that you’re capable of dealing with a Saint Realm powerhouse?" Zhao Gang asked incredulously as he looked at Ye Luo.

"Dealing with someone who has just broken through to the Saint Realm is enough," Ye Luo said indifferently.

With his current strength, confronting a Saint Realm expert who had just made a breakthrough didn’t pose too much pressure. He naturally didn’t take his opponent seriously.

"How does it feel a bit insane to confront the Saint Realm with an Innate Realm?" Zhao Gang murmured while looking at Ye Luo.

He had never seen someone from the Innate Realm able to contend against the Saint Realm before. There was a vast chasm between the two realms.

It would be incredibly difficult to cross, but looking at Ye Luo, he clearly had the confidence to confront a Saint Realm master with the strength of the Innate Peak Stage. If true, it would certainly be a miracle.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Come to my office with me," Zhao Gang said to Ye Luo.

After saying a word to Leng Ruobing, Ye Luo followed Zhao Gang and left.

"Deputy Leader Leng, Ye Luo is really good to you, huh? Knowing that Qiu Jie’s brother is a Saint Realm master, he still resolutely took him down," Mingyue said with a flickering gaze as she approached Leng Ruobing, her expression mixed with a hint of envy.

Leng Ruobing’s eyes slightly tightened, and her heart felt an inexplicable stir, displaying a complex expression.

Inside Zhao Gang’s office, he took out a box and approached Ye Luo, saying, "Ye Luo, you’ve completed the mission in the Island Country exceptionally well; not only did you destroy their bioweapons, but you also retrieved Dragon Head. Later, you even helped Y Country’s queen through a crisis. The higher-ups are full of praise for you. This is your reward."

Zhao Gang opened the box in front of him, which contained a green booklet, a medal, and a bank card.

"This special Meritorious Medal is a reward from above, representing your contribution to the nation," Zhao Gang said, taking out the medal.

"And what’s this?" Ye Luo picked up the booklet and opened it, surprised to find a military officer’s ID inside. It was for a Major General, and it had his name and photo on it.

"This..." Ye Luo looked at Zhao Gang, extremely shocked.

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "This Major General rank has been specially conferred upon you after some discussion among the senior leaders. From now on, you are a Major General of Huaxia. I hope you can contribute even more to the nation." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Damn, why do I feel like I’m being trapped?" Ye Luo said, holding the officer ID.

While the rank of Major General was significant, it also meant he had to devote himself more selflessly to the nation, essentially becoming a servant of the state.

You should feel lucky. I’m only a Colonel now, and you’re already a Major General. There’s probably no one in Huaxia as young as you with that rank."

"If it weren’t for your outstanding contribution this time, plus Queen Illy’s lauding you in front of the leaders, getting this Major General rank wouldn’t have been so easy," Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"Then, thank you to the leaders and the nation," Ye Luo responded. With such a rank, he would be even more formidable in the future.

"There’s also this card. It contains one million, which is also part of your reward," Zhao Gang said, handing over the bank card to Ye Luo.

"Only a million? That’s a bit stingy," Ye Luo said, unimpressed.

"You think a million is too little? Then give it back to me," Zhao Gang said as he reached for the bank card but Ye Luo quickly pocketed it.

"Don’t do that—it’s still meat even if it’s from a mosquito!"
