Kexiao never engaged in a losing deal, and no matter what demands were presented by the council, he believed there was not much chance of winning. That guy, if he were so easy to deal with, wouldn't have been at large until now, but if it were an order from the Military Department, that would be a different matter. As a soldier, upon receiving orders, he would choose to execute them unhesitatingly.

The content of the order was, in fact, to lure out the Revenge Shadow Rider, and Kexiao need not worry about the rest, the higher-ups would arrange everything.

Upon receiving the order, Kexiao became even more worried. Alas! He hoped those old men would take this as a lesson. He had no confidence in the Military Department at all and believed one should not underestimate anyone, especially not the Revenge Shadow Rider, who had never been defeated.

Without any hesitation, Kexiao quickly agreed and even made a special guarantee, claiming the Revenge Shadow Rider would definitely accept his challenge. Of course, this so-called challenge was not as simple as in Galactic Warfare, but rather in reality. Besides, Kexiao also specifically mentioned that if the Shadow Rider didn't appear, he would be willing to accept any arrangement from the upper echelons, any arrangement at all, even if it meant retaking Mardis.

But conversely, if the so-called secret weapon of the Military Department failed to defeat the Revenge Shadow Rider, please don't entertain the idea anymore. The Shadow Rider was just one person, alone and weak - what sort of waves could he stir up if left alone?

Upon learning this news, the super soldier thought Kexiao was very irrational. "Kexiao, how can you make such a deal with the Military Department?" Xia Mu was the first to burst through the door, in a rush.

Everything under heaven is negotiable, why not this matter, Kexiao said, "Is there a problem?"

"The problem is huge, isn't it?" Xia Mu countered. Taking back Mardis was nothing short of reclaiming a terrestrial planet, he simply couldn't believe such words came from Kexiao.

"Heh heh, which aspect of the problem?"

"This... The Federation is at the height of its military might, Mardis has Lipton's support from behind, and Diya can also provide a distraction. For Saudi, it's a planet that could have its supply lines cut off at any moment, how easy would it be to take it down?"

"Look, even a soldier can easily see through this logic, so why don't the bigwigs in the Military Department understand it?"

Xia Mu was left baffled by the response, and just then, Jiu Ling also stepped into the room, having apparently heard the conversation. She added, "And there's more. The Revenge Shadow Rider is also a freak, mysterious in identity, and bizarre in movements, never playing by the book. It's uncertain whether such a person would accept the challenge, Kexiao, how can you be so sure he will come?"

"Heh heh, some things are destined. I say he will come, and he will indeed come. Otherwise, he would not be the Revenge Shadow Rider," Kexiao always smiled so lightly.

"You must already know his identity, right..." Jiu Ling said.

"More guesses than knowledge. In this world, no one dares to be 100 percent certain of the Revenge Shadow Rider's true identity," Kexiao said.

"So your guess is..."

On this question, Kexiao did not answer directly. Some things, if you think about them carefully, require no answer at all.

On the third day after Kexiao's authority was suspended, which was the eve of Athena's performance, during the evening news program, Saudi TV suddenly broadcast a bombshell, its impact comparable to a nuclear explosion. The news program indicated that the Saudi high commander Kexiao officially issued a 1V1 war declaration to the Revenge Shadow Rider. Of course, this so-called 1V1 was not him fighting personally but a Saudi soldier. The location of the war declaration: Mardis, the time, XXXX. He believed the Shadow Rider would not miss the appointment.

As soon as the news was released, Jiu Ling sought out Kexiao again, skeptical of why he was so sure the Revenge Shadow Rider would show up. It was just a simple media statement, and whether the Shadow Rider would even see it was another question, why was he so certain? If he didn't show up, wouldn't Saudi lose face?

Kexiao did not bother to explain further, but he guessed that the Revenge Shadow Rider probably had better information than anyone else, which was also why no one could catch him. As for why he would come, Jiu Ling would have to think about that slowly.

The Revenge Shadow Rider was a renowned undefeated warrior. Why would he fear a mere challenge? Moreover, this challenge was of an official nature. To step back, he said he would come to Mardis to challenge the Revenge Shadow Rider; on one hand, Feng Yi was in Mardis, which conveniently facilitated Feng Yi's involvement. Furthermore, it could also be seen as a way to convey a message to Feng Yi indirectly. He knew better than to ruin the game's rules by publicly revealing that Feng Yi was the Revenge Shadow Rider, which would bring no benefit to himself but aid the Federation. After all, Feng Yi's original image was already deeply ingrained in people's hearts, as was the case with the Revenge Shadow Rider; otherwise, so many people wouldn't link the two together.

It must be said, the many in the Federation who connected Feng Yi with the Revenge Shadow Rider did so without any basis, mostly spreading rumors or clipping videos from the internet. Could the stuff online even be trusted? Just like beauty filters, no matter what you look like, could someone make you look any way they like? If they wanted to make your face square, it would be perfectly square and natural. Thus, Kexiao never took such things on the internet seriously.

Feng Yi was surprised upon receiving the news... To seek a challenge with him, and a duel at that, in the fairest way possible, haha... It probably wouldn't be long before the national media would be in an uproar again, right?
