"And what if I do, hmph, of course, I'm going to file a military accusation against you for detaining the combat personnel."

"A military accusation, huh? Bring it on."

"Bring it on...? Do you think it's that simple?" Tian Ni, who was quietly chewing her words, burst out laughing, "If you can't handle the heat, don't stoke the fire. I would advise you to only act within your means."

"I look forward to your next call." This time, Feng Yi was the first to hang up the Heavenly Communication. If he continued bickering meaninglessly with this woman, he himself would start becoming one. He simply didn't have the time for aimless chatter.

Tian Ni called out twice more when she realized Feng Yi had left the call. She was genuinely angry now. At first, she only intended to intimidate him, especially considering how well Zhang Xiaobo had performed this time. But he turned out to be so uncooperative.

Who was she, Tian Ni? She came from a family of generals and graduated with high honors from Golden Sword Military Academy at the age of 18. She was the second most outstanding woman in the Normandy fleet, next only to Amelia. Her grandfather was a general. Although he only had the rank of a colonel, his influence was even respected by Brigadier Amelia. Despite her young age, Tian Ni's military talent was extraordinary. Yet today, she was inexplicably ignored by a stranger.

Though she held a lower rank than Amelia in the fleet, the two were like sisters in their private lives. Furious, she quickly sent a message directly to Amelia, detailing the whole situation.

Not many people had the guts to do this, especially on a military line. Amelia thought she knew who the bold man was. He was the type who never picked fights he couldn't win. Could it be that he had truly found a powerful backer?

Since she couldn't get through to him, she had no choice but to escalate this matter to the Capital Military Region. In short, as Zhang Xiaobo was an advanced combat officer of the Normandy fleet, whoever wanted to take him had to have the approval of the fleet's high-ranking commander. Otherwise, they should prepare to face the consequences.

When Amelia handed in her report, Tian Ni waited with her in the command post. Normally, the Capital Military Region would respond within half an hour. Surprisingly, after an hour and a half, they received no response from the military department, which left them astounded.

What on earth was happening? Tian Ni proceeded to resend the report. She decided to check every 5 minutes to identify the point of failure.

Yet before the 5 minutes were up, she impatiently checked the tracing record. It wasn't intercepted by someone, but rather by the Noah main server's scanning system. This angered Tian Ni even more.

How dare a lousy computer block her report while she patiently waited for the better part of an hour! Enraged, she reached out to every contact she had: her classmates from the military academy, her venerable grandfather, the young men who admired her—basically anyone who could be of help.

"No need to fuss. His Sky Network privileges are dubious and his identity is mysterious, so I suggest we keep things low-profile," counseled Amelia, the fleet's commander. In fact, she had planned to give Zhang Xiaobo some time off, but now that the situation had escalated, she had to bring everything back in order — including Elvis, who should have been with Zhang Xiaobo. But when Amelia tried to reach out, she found that he had turned his device off.

Now Tian Ni was truly impatient. Who did she think she was? She had never swallowed such defeat before. With a precise tap, she sent out three more Heavenly Communications, and calm was restored in the command center.

Humph! Just wait and see. It's too late for regrets now.

Feng Yi suddenly sneezed. Was he having a bad reaction to the Martian environment or were people speaking ill of him behind his back? Never mind, he just shrugged it off. Looking at the darkening sky, he continued reading his erotic love books.

Suddenly, his communication device started vibrating. The Capital Military Department was calling. They left a message demanding that Lieutenant Colonel Feng immediately hand over Zhang Xiaobo and Elvis, and furthermore, commanded him to immediately go to the Eden Military Zone in Capital Planet for handling.

Oh... that's actually quite interesting. Feng Yi simply replied with four characters: "Refuse to Comply".

An officer from the Eden Military Zone Command came running up to General Tian Runjia, "General, we have received a reply."

"Put it down." General Tian didn't even glance at the device until he had finished his tea. When he saw the four characters 'Refuse to Comply,' he was dumbstruck. Was this Feng fellow trying to defy the military orders?

Just then, Tian Ni called again. She wanted to know if that bastard was still as defiant as ever. Better keep being defiant and not give in, or the game would no longer be fun. Tian Ni's beautiful likeness appeared before General Tian in a virtual image and she eagerly asked, "Grandfather, what did that guy say?"

By now, General Tian was exasperated. This kid really seemed set on messing his career. He didn't respond to Tian Ni. Instead, he used his privilege as a general to get the real communication frequency and then called him directly.
