Liu Yang let out a cold laugh at her words. "Is the Flying Eagle Organization that impressive? How do they stack up against the Hidden Dragon Organization? Hm?"
Hearing that, the female ability user froze instantly. "The Hidden Dragon Organization? You actually know about them? Could it be that this base is being garrisoned by Hidden Dragon personnel? Are you with them?"
At this, the rest of the operatives exchanged looks of realization.
The sheer strength Liu Yang displayed was easily that of a tier-three Heaven Ranking expert!
If he was an elite dispatched by Hidden Dragon, everything suddenly added up.
"Look, brother," the female agent said earnestly, "both Hidden Dragon and Flying Eagle are major official pillars of the Divine Dragon Empire. With foreign ability users invading left and right, we can't afford to engage in internal friction! Cooperation is an absolute must!"
"Cooperate my ass! What's Hidden Dragon to me? Anyone who dares lay a hand on me is going to die!" Yang Gaofeng bellowed from the floor.
As the sole heir and future patriarch of the Yang family, he had never been struck by a single soul in his entire life!
Now that Liu Yang had beaten him to a pulp, even if the guy belonged to Hidden Dragon, he was going to wipe him off the map just to quench the blazing hatred in his chest.
"Gaofeng, shut up. The organization will compensate you for this. I'm the captain right now, so listen to me!" she snapped at him.
"Listen to your motherfucking bullshit! You aren't the one who got stomped! When has the Yang family ever swallowed this kind of humiliation?
If it weren't for us, would your Flying Eagle Organization even have the backing of the martial arts-focused Xiao family?
Back then, your commander had to practically beg my family to let me join!" Yang Gaofeng cursed right back at his team leader.
Flushed crimson with embarrassment and anger, the female captain wore a deeply aggrieved expression, yet she didn't dare utter a single word of rebuttal.
The Yang family wielded influence that far outstripped the Flying Eagle Organization.
Even their top commander had to grant them a massive amount of face.
As a mere squad leader, how could she ever dream of offending Yang Gaofeng?
Seeing that the punk was still running his mouth and issuing threats, Liu Yang strolled over leisurely and planted a boot straight into his gut.
"Gah-!!"
Yang Gaofeng felt as though his internal organs had been kicked into mush. His jaw dropped wide in a silent, agonizing gasp, rendering him utterly speechless.
Liu Yang pointed a finger down at him.
"What kind of nobody is your Yang family anyway? Daring to threaten me? I'm not with Hidden Dragon! The only reason I know about them is because their people begged me to join!
I am Liu Yang. The number one on the Heaven Ranking! Every survivor base within a hundred miles radius belongs to me, so keep your nose out of my territory from now on. Cross me again, and that guy's fate will be yours."
Every pair of eyes in the room dilated in shock.
Liu Yang!
It was him!
Haven Ranking Number One!
The man who stomped the Little Sun Empire under his heel!
The very same Liu Yang their commander had ordered them to recruit at any and all costs!
No wonder he was so terrifyingly powerful. Being the undisputed top dog on the Heaven Ranking meant matching that exact level of dominance!
Everything clicked into place instantly.
"Liu Yang, right? Heaven Ranking number one, is it? I'll remember this! Mess with the Yang family, and even the top spot won't save you from a shallow grave!" Yang Gaofeng hissed viciously.
"Boom!"
Liu Yang drove another heavy kick straight into his stomach.
"Agh-!!" Yang Gaofeng curled into a tight ball, screaming bloody murder. His abdomen felt like it was caving in, his intestines twisting into agonizing knots that made him wish for a quick death.
"Unlike Hidden Dragon, you folks lack basic manners, and frankly, it's ruining my mood. Let's call it a day; I won't press my luck with you lot. The three guys can crawl away now, and don't ever let me catch you sniffing around here again.
Otherwise, the next visit won't end with a simple lesson.
As for the two ladies-well, you've got looks, and your figures aren't half bad either. You can just stay right here and pump out kids for me," Liu Yang said with casual indifference.
"Huh?" Both female operatives dropped their jaws, entirely convinced their ears were playing tricks on them.
Stay behind and have his babies?
How could a guy be this utterly shameless?
And he dropped it with the deadpan composure of someone discussing the weather!
Didn't he realize how scandalous that sounded to a woman?!
Sure, he was ridiculously strong and drop-dead gorgeous, but jumping straight to making babies was moving a bit too fast!
At least buy them a drink first!
A furious blush swept across both of their faces.
The female captain, Chen Yuanyuan, quickly composed herself and spoke up. "Your strength is indisputable, and I believe you're truly the number one on the Heaven Ranking. The Flying Eagle Organization has been tracking you down relentlessly, hoping to bring you into the fold! Join us, and we'll grant any condition you ask for!"
Liu Yang shook his head with a light chuckle. "Hidden Dragon gave me that exact same pitch. In fact, their female captain is already lounging back at my villa.
Every single night, she exhausts every ounce of her wit and charm just to figure out how to win me over.
Why don't you tag along back to my base and compete with her to see whose technique is better?"
"What? The Hidden Dragon captain is already living with you?" Chen Yuanyuan gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief.
At the same time, a sharp spike of urgency pierced her heart.
If Heaven Ranking Number One fell into Hidden Dragon's hands, the Flying Eagle Organization would never, ever manage to close the gap!
Securing Liu Yang's allegiance was a direct, do-or-die mandate straight from their commanding officer!
"I... I'll stay! I'm coming with you!" Chen Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, making her final gamble.
If she missed this golden opportunity, Liu Yang would be snatched up by Hidden Dragon for good.
If bringing him back meant offering herself up as his woman, she was more than willing to pay that price!
After all, Liu Yang was a once-in-a-generation monster talent, not to mention devilishly handsome. He was the dream catch for any woman in the wasteland.
Becoming his woman was hardly a raw deal.
And if she managed to nail her mission objectives along the way, it was a total jackpot!
The other female agent stepped forward as well. "Th-then I'm staying too."
Her name was Chen Xuelian, and frankly, mission success was the absolute last thing on her mind right now.
The moment she laid eyes on Liu Yang and realized his true identity, her heart had been thoroughly captured by this dominant, lethal man.
To hell with the mission-she just wanted to be his woman!
She was ready for some serious, up-close-and-personal exchanges with him!
The two male operatives stared in disbelief. "Captain! Xuelian, you guys..."
Chen Yuanyuan cut them off swiftly. "Enough. Drag Yang Gaofeng back to headquarters and report the situation to the commander! We'll do everything in our power to convince Liu Yang to sign up with us!"
The two men exchanged reluctant nods. "Understood, Captain. Take care of yourself.
With that, they hoisted the semi-conscious, groaning Yang Gaofeng off the floor and prepped for a hasty retreat.
"I'm not leaving! I'm Yang Gaofeng, and nobody touches me and gets away with-mpph! Mmph!"
Before he could finish his tirade, a hand clamped brutally over his mouth. The male operative hissed in his ear,
"Young master Yang, please, just shut your trap! A wise man yields to circumstance. Nobody here can take this guy down. If you piss him off enough to get us all butchered, don't drag the rest of us down to hell with you!"
