Chapter 86: Disciple Recruitment Ceremony
“After discussion and evaluation, the Ministry of Defense has decided to award the highest honor to Wu Mei for the operation to eradicate Kun Sha’s drug cartel…”
“She was the one who took the risk to go undercover in the Royal Clubhouse and found out the specific location of the warehouse. She contributed greatly to the smooth progress of the operation!”
The high-ranking official led the applause.
Under the envious gazes of everyone, Wu Mei received the medal that symbolized her identity. They then personally put it on her shirt collar.
She looked down at the medal that shone in the sunlight and couldn’t help but recall M’s first commendation. The scenes overlapped and her feelings were complicated.
Sitting below the stage, Feng Yue grumbled unhappily, “Isn’t it just because she’s lucky? If I were the one who went undercover…”
Bai Xue stole a glance at Ben. When she saw him looking at Wu Mei, she couldn’t help but clench her fists. She could only hold in her anger and accept the reality.
“Next, it’s the disciple recruitment ceremony. All the special agents who have passed the trial mission will officially become members of the Ministry of Defense today. There will be seniors and Special Agents who will be selecting disciples to guide you ahead!” The high-ranking official nodded to Ben, signalling for him to get the ball rolling.
Ben strode over and stood in front of Wu Mei. The new cadets below the stage were not surprised, as if they had guessed that this would happen.
“I will take you in as my disciple. The bullet accessory is the proof of my agreement to take you in as a disciple,”
Ben said in a tone as if he were making an announcement, not giving Wu Mei any chance to turn him down.
Feng Yue was so jealous that she gritted her teeth in hatred.?Who wouldn’t want a legendary Special Agent as their teacher?
What’s more, it’s a Senior with extremely strong qualifications like Ben!
“No, your current missions are not suitable for the new Special Agents,” Bai Xue stopped him and tried to coax him out of it.
However, Ben did not mind. He simply looked at Wu Mei indifferently and said, “I believe she can keep up with the intensity of the missions. Bai Xue, it’s the time for you to choose your own disciple, not the time to question my decision.”
His gaze was filled with warning as he looked at Bai Xue.
While all the new cadets thought that Wu Mei’s “ownership” had been confirmed, K, who was seated like a statue beside a high-ranking official, suddenly stood up and walked to Ben’s side. Everyone gasped when they heard him say, “Wu Mei? Perhaps you can consider becoming my disciple.”
The Special Agents below the stage began discussing.
“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that K hasn’t recruited disciples among the new Special Agents in many years?”
“This! Publicly snatching her away from Ben? What does Wu Mei have to make the two big shots fight over her? I’m so envious!”
“I wouldn’t even dare to dream of being K’s disciple!”
The high-ranking officials and Bai Xue were all shocked by K’s actions. On the other hand, Ben was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and said, “You don’t have time to manage a newbie. Don’t join the fun. Don’t think… that your little intentions can be concealed from everyone! You don’t know Wu Mei at all. You just want to take her in as a disciple only because she looks like… That person!”
To them, M’s name seemed to be a taboo and could only be mentioned subtly.
“Oh? Isn’t that the reason you want to take Wu Mei as your disciple?”
Smoke instantly pervaded the air between K and Ben. They seemed to be secretly mocking each other while fighting over Wu Mei. The crowd did not understand their implied meaning, but they could sense that something was amiss with the atmosphere.
Wu Mei stood by the side and looked at them coldly. She was trying to get a glimpse of what had happened that day from their conversation…
“You were the one who caused her death, yet you’re pretending to be merciful and taking in a disciple who looks like her by your side! Don’t you think that’s….” Ben said sarcastically. Wu Mei’s brows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t observe any changes in K’s expression.
K simply said lightly, “At that time, you and her were on the same plane. No one knows better than you what happened back then.”
Ben fists were clenched and the blood vessels on his arm could be vaguely seen. He tried his best to control his emotions as he said, “With your current identity, taking Wu Mei as your disciple will only cause you trouble. Think about it carefully!”
His warning worked. K hesitated before finally deciding to back out.
Amidst the dispute, Wu Mei became Ben’s disciple.
On the other hand, Bai Xue took Qi Feng and Feng Yue in as her disciples based on the result rankings…
As the new cadets looked at Wu Mei, who was standing beside Ben, they recalled the fight between K and Ben. They couldn’t help but fantasize about a good show.
“Looks like having good looks is indeed an advantage!”
“She was able to successfully get herself into the Special Agent camp and even made the two big shots fight over taking her in as their disciple!”
They suppressed their jealousy and could not help but secretly slander and scorn Wu Mei for being able to obtain her current status through improper means. They had also consciously overlooked Wu Mei’s abilities as it was a strength that they could not catch up to.
