"Hahahaha, fair enough, give me the money." Gandalf extended his hand.

"Given our relationship, why should money be an issue? Maybe in the future we'll be a family. As they say, between family there's no need to beat around the bush. Old curator, please cover this property transaction for me, my funds are a bit tight recently. Could I borrow a bit for my immediate expenses?" Feng Yi reached out his hand as well.

"Go to hell! @#￥%&*" It was like he was robbed of his wife, stole his granddaughter and her household. Feng Yi was kicked violently by Gandalf and disappeared from sight...

Not long after, he quickly received a call from the upper echelons of the capital military district, requesting him to report immediately to the Eden Capital Airport, ready to receive orders at any time.

It seems that old man Adams is quite fond of himself. As soon as he got on the Sky Network share, he received a call from him. Not much to say, since the higher-ups want him to go, he'll make another trip. Although he is not strictly a soldier, he does hold a Hero Medal, so he still has to do his duty.

Passing through the bustling streets, past the Diya residence and diplomatic residence, the majestic capital airport was already in sight, surrounded by towering mobile warriors.

Looking at the neatly lined guards on both sides, President Adams and the First Lady personally received Princess Diya - Dilia, accompanied by a number of female bodyguards. As they shook hands, countless camera flashes came on at the same time.

Feng Yi crossed his arms and watched everything from a distance, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart. Damn, he had to wait here while they were off negotiating. But as he was thinking about it, Heavenly Communication rang out, showing a message that read "Stay Put". Soon, Feng Yi was personally escorted onto a sightseeing vehicle by a colonel-level officer. Unexpectedly, he ended up on the same vehicle as Adams and Princess Diya.

Princess Dilia was even more beautiful than the rumors suggested. She possessed nearly flawless skin, and beneath her stunning face were slightly parted, rosy lips. Her delicate and elegant attire couldn't obscure her innate elegance. She was like an angel from the skies. However, when Princess Dilia saw Feng Yi, she was slightly surprised. A simple-dressed young man was invited to ride in the lead car; his background couldn't possibly be that simple, could it?

The fleeting doubt didn't escape Adams' notice. "Hehe, this man participated in the Big Macs counterattack, the Roland Starfield defense battle, and even captured the enemy leader Vivian single-handedly. He annihilated the Scorpio Organization all by himself. Your Highness, I assume you have heard the rumors about him."

"So he is the famous war hero." When Dilia heard this, she covered her cherry lips, and a trace of appropriate adoration showed on her pretty face. "In addition to these, I've also heard about Mr. Feng's heroic deeds in Maraca."

Feng Yi nodded with a smile to signal his understanding. As a temporary bodyguard for the president, he wouldn't speak out of line in this kind of situation. But why hadn't he heard any rumors about the so-called federal hero? Was there something old man Adams was hiding from him?

But it must be said that Dilia indeed had a naturally enchanting ability. Or perhaps she intentionally or unintentionally was showing off her charm with every frown or smile. This woman is truly amazing!

As expected of the top-notch diplomat, Princess Dilia. In their conversation, she skillfully shifted the topic onto Feng Yi, making him fall silent, while President Adams and Dilia discussed many political topics.

However, the main purpose of Dilia's visit was to acquire support in the form of super Mecha resources from the Federation through diplomatic means. In return, the Diya League would share their technology. However, seeing Feng Yi stirred another idea in her: What if she could tie such an outstanding soldier to the Diya League? Would that be better?

The next is the Revenge Shadow Rider. She does not believe that it's possible. Truly, she wanted to investigate the various details associated with Revenge Shadow Rider. After several simulations by Dilia, she ultimately realized that emulating the Revenge Shadow Rider is absolutely impossible. No one has such abilities, not even the ace pilots. It might be due to Shadow Rider's luck or performance in actual combat, but the influence of the Revenge Shadow Rider has deeply penetrated into people's hearts to an irreproducible extent. Therefore, no matter how much one tries to copy it, it wouldn't be as effective as the original.

However, after Dilia finished scouring for information, she found that the Federation truly did not know any information regarding Shadow Rider. They were either hiding something, or Shadow Rider was simply a computer. The only one who may be aware of the secret was Adams, the only person capable of creating Revenge Shadow Rider. Well, if there was another, it would probably be Noah - the Federation's renowned artificial intelligence mainframe.

Speaking of Feng Yi, this famed Federal special envoy had an unmatched reputation within the FCA. Dilia had probed earlier and came to realize that Feng Yi's solo exploit of crushing the Scorpio Organization already warranted the title of a hero. To be honest though, her admiration for Feng Yi was genuine, not a pretense. While everyone saw her as the beautiful, enchanting Princess Liya, who knew behind the princess attire, Dilia could turn into a hardcore fangirl in an instant?

Every girl grows up with a crush or admiration for a hero. Upon listening to Adam's introduction of Feng Yi, she started looking at him differently. To everyone else, he was a handsome man with outstanding looks; only the high-ranking personnel of the FCA Alliance knew how truly terrifying he was - an iron-blooded warrior who kept a low profile.

In the President's Office, Feng Yi received Adams' second direct order since his annual leave after roaming the Star Sea. Soldiers who do not aspire to become generals are bad soldiers. But honestly, Feng Yi could not be defined as a good soldier. He agreed, with the condition that he completes a mission within half a year. This mission had been brewing for over a year by the Federation. By then, Feng Yi would pose as Zi Mou's brother and enter Saudi.

Before that, Feng Yi would not receive any other mission assignments, effectively placing him on standby. That was all that needed to be covered.

In the towering Presidential Office in the Federation's capital, Adams handed an encrypted mission order directly to Feng Yi. "Stay put on the Capital Planet for these six months, and do not go anywhere. Always be ready for a summons when needed." As a lucky charm for the Federation, he did not want Feng Yi galivanting everywhere. Though deploying him onto the battlefield would have been more effective, he had to temporarily keep him on the Capital Planet considering the plan for the latter half of the year.

Feng Yi was slightly taken aback. He nodded, then shook his head, "My freedom is restricted, and I don't have money to spend. I refuse, I'd rather die than accept."

Seeing his resolute refusal, the surrounding officers couldn't help but hide their smiles...

"Don't worry, your freedom will not be restricted. You just need to keep your radar on and await orders — as for money..." Adams slowly squinted his cunning eyes, "Isn't the special task allowance enough?"

"Not enough, not enough, definitely not enough." Feng Yi waved frantically, "How about this, give me the privilege to test the prototype equipment at the black tech base without being held accountable. I'll get on board with this deal then, how about that?"

"Hehehe, you, little..." Adams let out a chuckle, and pointed at Feng Yi while his laughter still lingered. His face grew old and shrewd, "No."

Feng Yi stumbled. He originally thought that Adams wanted to say something else, and found himself feeling as though he'd swallowed a fly when he heard the second part of the sentence.

At that moment, faint footsteps could be heard from outside the door. Soon, Dr. Trister rushed in. The old man who had once exchanged Eggy for some equipment at the black tech base said, "I heard you're back from your journey. Old Eggy wants to see you. He insisted that I give you the message myself."

This old man had even started running errands. Feng Yi quickly signaled for silence, "Let's not make a big fuss about this. Doctor, I'll come by later."

"Alright." The doctor said and vanished as quickly as he had appeared.

The president's office was filled with baffled officers, wondering where this 'Old Eggy' came from. Regardless, no one could change Feng Yi's current mood. It was awful. Weapons were a soldier's backup life force, but if he continued to stay on the Capital Planet, he wouldn't just lose touch with powerful weaponry, his body would also grow rusty.
