Armipotent



Lu An led Park Nam Hoon to meet the Fogged Ape Tribe who would come to Korea. The Fogged Ape Tribe stayed in the same park where he met them for the first time. Walking through the fogged park, soon they arrived at the training ground for the Tarrior and also the home for the Fogged Ape.

Pride, the leader of the Fogged Ape, was fighting someone in the training ground. The man was quite big, over two meters in height, fighting close combat with a sparring sword. Of course, the man was no match against Pride. After dozens of exchanges, the man was slapped away by Pride with the back of his hand, flying to the side, and rolling on the ground.

"Again!" The man immediately stood up again, still holding the blunt sword.

"That's enough for today," Lu An clapped his hand, attracting Pride and the man's attention. The Demonic Ape rushed toward Lu An, motioning with his two big hands at Lu An to fight it. However, Lu An shook his head, "Nope, not today, Pride. I have a task for you. You will bring your people with him to capture the territories in Korea. You can fight me after you finish your task."

Pride looked disappointed, but he still nodded at Lu An before looking at Park Nam Hoon. The Demonic Ape observed Park Nam Hoon for a while before he shook his head, disappointed.

"Let me join too," The man who had been listening from the side, volunteering himself, "Let me follow Pride. This might be good training for me more than just hunting the zombie."

Lu An turned toward the man, Chang Jie. The person who survived the Changxing Island tragedy where the expansion team almost got wiped out by the high-rank zombie. He survived because the leader of the expansion team sacrificed his life to protect Chang Jie. Ever since then, the young man joined the Tang Empire and had been training with the determination to wipe out the zombie.

Lu An furrowed his brows, "You haven't reached Epic Rank yet. I am not going to let you out unless you have Brother Shaoyang's consent."

"Please call his Majesty formally when you are in official business, Sir Lu," Yeon Hee could not help but remind her leader. Lu An was often scolded by Zhang Mengyao for addressing The Emperor casually, especially in front of Park Nam Hoon.

"How am I supposed to reach the Epic Rank if all the zombies around here are low-rank. I need to go out to follow the expansion team or I can follow Pride with his task. I will reach Epic Rank faster that way," Chang Jie complained.

"That way you will die faster too,'' a woman's voice rang from the other side. A woman in black cloth with her face covered in a veil, approached them with a bow on her back, "Take it slow, Chang Jie. We are quite fast compared to the others who have the same start as us."

"This is not enough, Duan Ya. I need to risk my life to get stronger, this is not enough. What's the use of training if I never use it in a real battle! Let me follow Pride or let me join the Expansion Team!" Chang Jie was adamant about his decision. He wanted to follow Pride or join the expansion team.

Lu An could not make the decision for Chang Jie. If it was up to him, he would let Chang Jie follow Pride, but it was not in his jurisdiction.

"He. Follows. I. Protect," Pride, who had been silent, agreed to let Chang Jie follow him, "He. Ready. Believe."

Lu An clicked his tongue, "Let me ask Br— His Majesty or Supreme Commander Zhang." He sent a message to Tang Shaoyang and received a reply quite fast, meaning Tang Shaoyang was not busy. It was a green light, Tang Shaoyang allowed Chang Jie to follow Pride to Korea.

"His Majesty allowed you to join Pride, but you must listen to Pride's order regardless of the situation, understand? If you disobey Pride's order, this will be the last time you will be trusted with a task!" Lu An was quite stern.

"Fool," Duan Ya let out a sigh, "Let me follow him too."

"Do whatever you want," Lu An waved his hand, and turned toward Pride, "Get your people ready. You will be needed when the war starts." The Demonic Ape bumped his fist into his chest, telling Lu An to be at ease.

Lu An and Yeon Hee left the park, leaving Park Nam Hoon to get familiar with the ape. As they walked out of the park, he stopped and glanced at Yeon Hee, "Do you have something in mind?" he then furrowed his brow, realizing what was in her mind, "Do you want to return to Korea?"

Yeon Hee raised her head, looking up at Lu An with a surprised expression, "I want to, but forget about it. I can't return, I promise His Majesty that I won't return to Korea. I am a prisoner, after all."

Ouch!

Yeon Hee covered her forehead, surprised that Lu An flicked her forehead. That was the last thing she would expect from Lu An.

"Stupid. You are no longer a prisoner," Lu An rolled his eyes, "You are Vice Head of TEID. How could a prisoner hold such a high position in one of the most important divisions in the empire?" Lu An rolled her eyes, "You can have your vacation for a week…. No, three days. You can go back and meet your friends for three days. I still need you for Lisbon."

"Really?" Yeon Hee was surprised, but then she shook her head, "You can't risk your position. What if His Majesty took your position for letting me leave?"

"Just go and meet me in Lisbon in three days," Lu An waved his hand before disappearing into the shadow, giving her no chance to refute him. A few seconds later, Lu An popped out in front of her and said,  "This is your vacation leave for this year. Whether you go back to Korea or not, you can't take any more leave for the remaining year." After that, Lu An disappeared again into the shadows.
