Releasing someone? Which soldier would dare speak like that, even if Deputy Apophis was angry inside, he would have to hold it in.

The female operative looked displeased, frowning as she gazed in the direction of Feng Yi...

Hmm? That person seems to be... The more she observed, the more shocked she became!

At this moment, not only the operative, but even the soldiers standing nearby and holding guns, widened their eyes upon seeing the person arrive, their gaze filled with intense heat, and their bodies trembling uncontrollably...

In a daze, the female operative with the rank of major had already switched to honorifics, "Are you... General Feng?"

"It's me, who wants to arrest John?"

"Re-report to the General, it's Mr. Bofikk."

"Bofikk... Do you mean that sharp-tongued Republican deputy governor?"

"This... Yes."

"Go back and tell Bofikk, John is on duty and cannot leave his post. Mardis is not under his authority. If he wants to arrest someone, he can come directly to me."

"Gen-General, you're being severe, we're just special operatives, doing our duty, your wishes will be fully conveyed."

Nodding, Feng Yi motioned for Hugo to bring John down, "Apophis, come with me."

"Yes."

The crew and soldiers stared dumbfounded...

Hugo, on the other hand, looked around with schadenfreude, "Come on, why don't you take off?"

The female operative shrugged, whatever, at least the person couldn't be offended, "Heh, you're welcome."

"What are you heh-ing about? Can I consider that attitude as contempt?"

Hugo chuckled, his brother wasn't in a hurry anymore, he sat on the lift and lit a small cigarette, today I'm putting it here, if you dare to leave, the General will go straight to the Capital to find Bofikk.

You really think I'm here to pick someone up? After lighting a cigarette, Hugo patted his butt and decisively went down.

This guy is truly a bastard, watching Hugo's disappearing figure, the female operative bit her lip in anger, "What are those soldiers doing over there, still dumbfounded! Release him."

John was soon untied, what kind of operation is this, could it be that the leaders in the Capital suddenly grew a conscience?

It shouldn't be, if they truly grew a conscience, they shouldn't have tied him up in the first place.

"Mr. John, you're safe now, hurry down." The female operative's voice carried a hint of irritation.

"Down? Where do you want me to go?"

"Go back to your unit and continue your service. I bet you've been pardoned. What, do you want to stay here for New Year's?"

This is absurdly ridiculous, John didn't know what happened, but it seemed that some big shot had suppressed the issue.

John considered that he might be pardoned, but before being pardoned, he would certainly undergo a military trial, and there could also be imprisonment.

Breathing the fresh air of Mardis, John's head was filled with question marks. Who is he, where is he, is he going to be executed here?

Hugo hadn't gone far, he waved eagerly at him, radiating uncontrollable joy.

John's gaze grew more and more confused, "Hugo, what exactly is going on?"

"Haha, it's a secret for now, but I bet this will be the happiest day of your life from now on."

"Tsk, what's wrong with you lot, all liking to make bets." John shrugged, unable to understand, life goes on, but he couldn't fathom what could make him happy.

Hugo told John to be mentally prepared because this surprise might be too much for him to handle, he might go crazy, so he should be ready.

John smiled and shook his head, "What good could there be, unless I've been pardoned?"

"Of course not, here's a hint, it's about the General."

"The General, you mean General Feng?" John's voice grew increasingly suspicious, his eyes filled with unmistakable confusion.

"Yes." Hugo nodded solemnly.

"General Feng, what about him, could it be that some last words of his were discovered?"

"No." Hugo shook his head, he was truly afraid John couldn't handle the surprise, "Think optimistically, think in a way you wouldn't believe."

"Could it be... I can't think of anything."

"A miracle, think of a miracle, like the General... heh heh."

John's heart skipped a beat, combining why he was released unconditionally, and what the woman on the shuttle had said, John grabbed Hugo, "Tell me, what exactly happened."

"Are you sure you're ready? I think you should say it yourself."

"Could it be, could it be it was his intention."

Hugo silently nodded, his movements slow and deliberate.

"Could it be, could it be the General isn't dead?" When John uttered these words, he couldn't believe it himself, his heart filled with longing.

Hugo continued to repeat the previous action.

For a moment, John felt a lightning bolt strike his head. If not for Hugo's repeated hints, he might have been killed by the overwhelming joy.

John tried hard to keep his mind rational, said seriously to Hugo: "You know me, Hugo, I'll ask you again, are you sure you're not joking? If you dare to joke about this..."

John didn't finish his sentence; some things are best left unsaid.

"Haha, do I look like I'm joking? Here, the light gun for you." Hugo, being a serious person, was ready to hand over the gun, implying he could be shot at any time.

That was enough, after all, the General was Revenge Shadow Rider, a miraculous existence, so whatever incomprehensible things happened were within an acceptable range.

"Where's the General? Where is he? Where is he?" John asked eagerly, several times.

"He went out with Apophis, he said he'd be back in the evening."

"What else did he say?"

"He also said you sent him into a cold universe, then got saved by a science freak who detected a biological signal."

For a moment, lost for words, John didn't know what to ask, he laughed like a fool, "Now relay my order, inform all units the entire army has a holiday, a day off, no! Seven days!"

"Seven days... Isn't that too much?"

John somewhat regained a hint of rationality, "It should indeed be changed to ten days, the years without the General, I've been too strict on the soldiers. Yes, that's it, ten days."

Ah, this... Hugo wanted to say three days, who would have thought it got flipped.

But, forget it, after all, I used to be a soldier too, over the years John has been extremely strict with the officers and soldiers, even himself, Hugo understood this. During Feng Yi's absence, John carried the entire burden, precisely because he didn't want to see the Flame Legion lose its past glory, obsessively pursuing progress, in remembrance of past honor.

But now, upon hearing the news of Feng Yi's return, overly joyful John finally awakened from a dream, right, the officers and soldiers should have a holiday.

Elsewhere in the camp, Apophis had already ordered a shuttle and light transport prepared for Kexiao.

Until watching the beauty's silhouette depart, Apophis whispered in Feng Yi's ear: "General, who would have thought you're quite the charmer."

Kexiao's ears were evidently sensitive, she stopped her movements, looked back meaningfully at the two of them, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she turned to leave...

Feng Yi froze.
