The girl turned her delicate face and froze as she saw who was approaching, "You are, Feng Yi..."

Time can indeed change a lot of things. It's been a long time and Feng Yi no longer possesses the sharp edge he once had, and Sheng Qiangwei has changed dramatically. Now she is no longer the sharp-tongued girl from the past, portraying a wiser facet of a mature woman in every scowl and smile.

It's been a year since they last saw each other. There was no communication. Anyone would've thought she had vanished. She was, after all, his girlfriend. Did he even consider her his girlfriend anymore? Sheng Qiangwei's expression darkened initially before bursting out laughing. She bit her lip, containing her emotions, then stood up from the Advanced Intelligence room, walked over to Feng Yi, and gave him a good pinch.

"Idiot, do you know how much I've been worried? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Sheng Qiangwei said through gritted teeth. She waited here for Feng Yi only because Francis had given her a clue. Without it, she wouldn't have come to Freedom Port in Maraca at Francis' invitation to be a core intelligence officer. Funnily enough, she ended up enjoying the job, which suited her commanding skills.

Ultimately, experiencing society can also be seen as part of the examination.

Seeing the hostility, Feng Yi immediately raised his hands in surrender. Alright, alright, all was his fault. Punish or chastise him as she liked. As a seasoned veteran, Feng Yi knew better than to argue with a woman over something nonsensical. There was no logic to be followed here.

This scene surprisingly dropped many jaws of the surrounding brothers. They wondered who this guy was who even Francis hadn't approached Qiangwei, and this bastard was actually up-close with their goddess. Wait, their hands are now linked, are they going to exchange words in bed next? Despite Sheng Qiangwei's low-key personality, her meticulous work and unique affinity had long made her the woman, no, goddess in the hearts of countless guys in the Adventurers' Bounty Tribe.

No, no, no, could this guy be the rumored ex-boyfriend of the goddess? No wonder there was an aura of royalty around him. For a moment, there was an invisible damage caused to the surrounding patients of "middle two" disease, causing a critical effect of 999.

Two people, one lean and one fat, exchanged glances. They were the guards of the Advanced Intelligence room and had decided to retaliate against Feng Yi. They walked up to him, then continued on their way after taking a sidelong glance at Feng Yi. The Information room fell silent again, and everyone began to get back to their tasks.

Meanwhile, Francis was signing a personnel contract with the officials. Even though the elite Red Cloak list was settled, the need for powerful solo combat soldiers with rich combat experience remained, hence why the Adventurers' Bounty Tribe, filled with talent, was attractive. Due to massive salaries, even high-ranked fighters from other networks were choosing to join the Adventurers' Guild.

Their objectives might differ, but they were mostly drawn by honor points. The Adventurers' Bounty Tribe was attracting elites from the world. The irony of Francis' excellent talent acquisition was not lost on the Federation.

Honor point exchange items were mostly sponsored by the Federation, like radium watches, Combat Power Testers, etc. Essentially, the Bounty Tribe was a privately-owned enterprise in this democratic country. Francis was within his rights to refuse cooperation with the government. Given that he supported causes for the country and people, and considering the indifferent attitude of Feng Yi, the thrown-out boss, the negotiations had naturally come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Francis' Heavenly Communication rang abruptly, Sheng Qiangwei called him. Francis' eyebrows furrowed. Although the two had left contact information, they hardly interacted. Francis had high regard for his future sister-in-law: "Hey, hello, what, Feng Yi is back, Where is that guy? Alright, I'll be there immediately."

Francis barged into the reception room not long after, "My friend, I can't believe you actually came back alive."

"What, were you hoping I'd die and you'd take my girlfriend?"

Sheng Qiangwei was standing right beside them. Hearing these words, Francis' face changed instantly, "God, amen, devil, one can eat a mess but must not mess with words. If you want to continue arguing this point, my lawyer will sue you."

"The Special Envoy has independent execution rights, charges dismissed."

The brothers didn't have much to say. All their words turned into hearty laughter. This was their special way of greeting each other. Of course, in the eyes of Sheng Qiangwei, it appeared as conspiring laughter.

It had been a year, and there were many things they wanted to share like their recent conditions and what had happened in the past year. Laughing, drinking, and eating heartily were indeed life's pleasures. Choosing a high-end hotel seemed too tacky. In many cases, letting go and returning to nature was truly enjoyable. Consequently, utilizing his special privileges, Francis called for an open military jeep.

It wasn't long before the Blade Warrior arrived, Sheng Qiangwei purposely made the call on her Heavenly Communication. Following that was Bai Zhexian, the wandering poet. As a de-facto elder of the Adventurers' Guild, he was heavily in debt. He walked with a bag covering his head like a rat crossing a stre), afraid of being cornered. Then came Mary, the true ruler of Triangular Star. The Super Soldier Project had entered the experimental phase and could be deployed to the battlefield at any time. Mary, without any official duties, naturally took over the Triangular Star.

Today, people were truly seeing the renowned Special Envoy of the Federation. Mary blinked her eyelashes in complex emotions. She never imagined that the residual character she had met several times was the famous Special Envoy of the Federation, it's such a surprise.

For Francis, it was the arrival of the one thing he was afraid of. On seeing the Blade Warrior, he cursed under his breath, dived into the car, and buried his head. In fact, as soon as the Blade Warrior arrived at Freedom Port in Maraca, he had kept quiet, but his surging temper had already cost Francis a lot in research funds.

As soon as Blade Warrior arrived, his gaze locked on Francis, quickly pulling his ear and questioning him, "Am I not saucy anymore, or have you, Francis, become too picky? You didn't even inform me that your friend is back. Hey, Feng Yi, you come and judge."

"In my opinion, that kid simply does not consider you a friend."

Feng Yi's witty remark immediately stirred laughter among everyone present. Even the violent Blade Warrior was nearly amused. This guy's humorous bones didn't fall short of the past, but for the victim, Francis, it was a catastrophe. Along with the powerful roar of the engine, the Armed Jeep dashed into the depth of the Triangular Star forest. The sounds of Francis' cries and Feng Yi's comforting words were heard intermittently amidst bursts of laughter.

With Feng Yi present, the environment was never devoid of laughter. People who didn't interact with each other found a connection because of him. No one probably thought of connecting this humorous warm-hearted man with the Revenge Shadow Rider, right?
