During their conversation, several people had already arrived at the central square of Eden, "Here, Silver Moon, this is for you."
"Is it edible?" The girl took the ice cream offered by Thunder Dragon and examined it for a moment before stretching out her fragrant tongue to take a lick. Having subsisted on nutritional meals all day, she had never tasted such a delightful dessert. Soon, she was entirely lost in its sweetness...
Black Edge only muttered three words, 'neurotic freak', but when it came to the topic of BBQ, even his stern expression showed a hint of fluctuation. Although he didn't express his happiness as openly as Silver Moon, he was greatly surprised. BBQ was indeed a delicious thing.
"Thunder Dragon, what is this street fighting you are talking about?"
"Fighting...well that's a man's romance." After giving it some thought, Thunder Dragon started explaining the rules of street fighting to Black Edge. As the saying goes, 'no pain, no gain', street fighting, as the name suggests, was an opportunity to display power and settle scores, with the stakes being money, and strength determining victory. This was the true meaning of street fighting. "So, young man, are you interested in taking a shot?"
Upon hearing this, Black Edge seemed to take great interest, a cruel smile appearing on his face as he licked his lips. "So, where can I find this street fighting match?"
"Hey, hey, we have to set some ground rules first." Thunder Dragon, not daring to let Black Edge run amok in the federation's territory, told him he could fight as long as he adhered to certain conditions. Absolutely no killing - or better yet, avoid inflicting bone-crushing, life-threatening injuries.
Initially Black Edge didn't intend to comply. In his view, a fight should aim for fatal blows. This was his confident forte. Unfortunately, if he refused to comply, he wouldn't be allowed to fight. Orders, for a transformed human, always took precedence. Truth be told, even if Black Edge rebelled, he was no match for Thunder Dragon. Black Edge clenched his fist, but it was soon released again. "Alright, alright, my dear Thunder Dragon, as you wish."
Satisfied with the submission of his wayward charge, Thunder Dragon didn't have much to say. Let's go then. Thus, he led the two deeper into the square... If possible, he hoped to quickly help them adapt to ordinary human life.
Suddenly, something shocked Thunder Dragon, and then a beautiful voice rang in his ears: "Thunder Dragon, remember your duty. Don't do unnecessary things."
It was Vivian's voice. Although Vivian couldn't see the trio in person, she could issue orders to them through Heavenly Communications. In fact, Vivian was the highest authority in this operation against the Federation's Super Soldier Project and the 100-level Test. The Saudi Empire had initiated targeted actions a week earlier, but the federation's anti-detection system was also tight. According to feedback from spies, Saudi had only recently taken countermeasures.
As for the public humiliation of the Alliance, it was just a minor distraction. Vivian was the judge of this operation due to Thunder Dragon's unrestrained behavior. You could praise Thunder Dragon's excellence, or claim he's invincible, but his stubbornly personal style was notoriously headstrong in the ears of Saudi's top generals, even in the face of imperial orders.
It was well-known in the Saudi nobility circle of a secret: Thunder Dragon was one of Vivian's many followers, and the one most likely to succeed. Precisely because of this, Saudi sent Vivian to be the real restraint in this mission, or in other words, to keep Thunder Dragon in check. If you ask why, there's only one reason. Silver Moon as a transformed human was okay, but Black Edge's emotional state wasn't stable. Apart from Thunder Dragon, there were hardly a few people in Saudi who could fully suppress Black Edge. Therefore, Thunder Dragon played a crucial role in this mission.
But the problem is that Thunder Dragon was a troublemaker himself. His outstanding personal abilities and the recognition from the upper echelons couldn't change the fact that he had repeatedly defied military orders. Vivian, who was known as the Flower of Saudi, was the only one who could keep him in check.
Vivian was born into a military family and graduated from a top-tier military academy. She had shown exceptional military talent since she started school. Soon after graduation, she made a name for herself in the Big Macs siege. She had a hard-fought battle with General Augustins of the Federation, who was a famous wargame expert. Any ordinary person would blow his own trumpet for a lifetime for such a feat, but Vivian took no pride in it. At the end of the battle, she used a stunning tactic to lure the enemy deep into her trap and wiped out an armoured infantry division led by Augustins.
While Saudi's presence on the Big Macs battlefield was a factor, it also didn't deny her exceptional talent in tactical command from a different perspective. Even though she was eventually captured alive by a guy named Feng Yi, nobody expected that a Federation Special Agent would dare to openly appear on the Big Macs battlefield, let alone just be a cannon fodder.
You could say Vivian was a hidden gem among the upper classes of the Saudi Empire, a flower that could be admired only from afar. Her extraordinary status had already set her future path. Only Vivian could persuade Thunder Dragon.
However, upon hearing Vivian's voice, Thunder Dragon just frowned slightly, "Vivian, you should know what this operation means."
"Yes, I do know. That's why... don't mess it up, okay? The date I promised you... Next time."
Thunder Dragon was taken aback. He didn't expect Vivian, who had always been his strict superior, to use such a tone. "Vivian, you know my capabilities. I bet I know Black Edge and Silver Moon better than anyone."
"Is it alright?" It was still Vivian's soft questioning voice on the other end of the Heavenly Communication.
After a long silence, Thunder Dragon abruptly hung up the call. He couldn't answer Vivian's question. As a soldier, he had already made up his mind about the mission a few days ago. Maybe the higher-ups' actions were correct, but they only considered the surface. They wouldn't think about Black Edge and Silver Moon's feelings...
Actually, the higher-ups had anticipated Thunder Dragon's behavior. The greater one's ability, the greater their temper. However, Thunder Dragon's temper was not only large, but a lot of the time, it was completely different from other's thoughts. Fortunately, he hadn't made any mistakes in the tasks he performed. Because of this, the Saudi higher-ups were not surprised by Thunder Dragon's habitual rule-breaking. Because he hadn't made any mistakes, he was Thunder Dragon, a real ace pilot, who greatly surpassed Red Cloak Jiu Ling, and a super soldier who rivaled any frontline claimant.
Now, this time was different. This mission was extraordinary. If it succeeds, that was fine. But failure would at the very least result in strict trial by a military court. However, Thunder Dragon didn't seem to mind this situation.
Three days later, Black Edge had challenged every street fighter there was. Her assessment of them was simple: a bunch of garbage. Therefore, they were once again led by Thunder Dragon around the corners of the square into a hunter tribe's settlement. It was a sub-branch of the Free Man's Bounty Tribe in Capital Planet. Although small in scale, it could be described as small but complete in every detail.
