"Do you know why you were summoned here?!"
After politely seating Qin Xuan, Fu Guo'an slammed the table and sternly questioned Qin Hu.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hu snapped his feet together and stood ramrod straight, "Report, I do!"
"It's about what happened at noon!"
"Then why aren't you apologizing to General Qin immediately?!"
"I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I apologize?"
Ignoring Fu Guo'an's winks, Qin Hu retorted indignantly.
"Qin Xuan drove a sports car into the military zone. He clearly looks like a rich second-generation accustomed to having fun."
"If someone like him can become a General in Long Country, then what else could it be if not connections?"
Since he was already caught by Qin Xuan, Qin Hu decided to lay all his thoughts bare.
He had enlisted at eighteen, trained diligently for five or six years, and won countless honors and awards, yet he was only a so-called "Soldier King."
What right did Qin Xuan have?
Young, lax in his demeanor, and clearly without proper training.
If not for pulling strings and backdoors, he simply couldn't fathom how the other person could become a General.
Don't even talk about military merits.
Even if he received a first-class merit every single day of the year, he still wouldn't become a General!
Qin Hu's expression, coupled with his words, was undeniably righteous.
If an outsider unaware of the situation were to see this, they would definitely believe that Qin Xuan and Fu Guo'an were using their authority to oppress a Soldier King.
However, while Qin Hu was unaware of Qin Xuan's affairs, Fu Guo'an knew them inside and out.
"Nonsense!"
"What do you think the country is?!"
"Do you know the immense power held by a General?"
"If one could become a General merely by pulling strings and using backdoors, the country would have descended into chaos long ago!"
"General Qin became a General because he accomplished things that ordinary people cannot achieve in a lifetime, do you understand?!"
Fu Guo'an roared, sternly criticizing Qin Hu.
Besides needing to give Qin Xuan a proper explanation, Fu Guo'an also felt a sense of disappointment in Qin Hu's potential.
Qin Hu was excellent in every aspect; he trained diligently and possessed outstanding abilities.
The title "Soldier King" was perfectly fitting for him.
Furthermore, like Qin Xuan, he was the youngest Soldier King in history.
But it was precisely the accumulation of these accolades that had led him to his current state.
Arrogant and conceited, he believed that within the entire military, there were no peers his age who could match him.
Therefore, upon seeing Qin Xuan, a General at twenty-six, he felt discontent, convinced that the other person absolutely lacked the capability to deserve such a rank.
This time, Fu Guo'an intended to use what Qin Xuan had done to properly discipline this headstrong young man.
To make him understand that there is always someone better, and that the world is vast.
"Putting aside other matters, let's focus on what General Qin did before he became a General."
"Have you heard of the LG Airlines hijacking incident?"
"General Qin, alone, resisted dozens of hijackers."
"After the terrorists fled, he disarmed the bombs with his bare hands and landed the plane safely using the throttle."
"Not only did he protect national assets, but he also saved the lives of hundreds of people on board!"
"I can do that too!"
Upon hearing Fu Guo'an's account, Qin Hu dismissively pouted.
Wasn't it just disarming bombs and flying planes?
These were among his strengths; a trivial matter.
If he had been on that plane at the time, he was sure he could have done better than the other person.
"You!"
Fu Guo'an was about to unleash a torrent of abuse.
But then he reconsidered. After all, the young man was the Soldier King of his military zone, and these were indeed things he might be capable of.
"Alright, even if you can do these things, can you withstand retaliation from terrorist organizations?"
"Can you remain calm and analyze the situation when your loved ones are kidnapped?"
"Can you, on the vast banks of the Yangtze River, spot a bomb on a cable car with just your naked eye?"
"Can you perfectly disarm dozens of timed bombs with your bare hands within three hours?"
"Can you subdue a martial arts master armed with a gun and explosives inside a crowded cable car cabin?"
"I can..."
"Wait, what did you say?"
"Martial Arts Master?!"
"Are you referring to a martial arts master with destructive power exceeding a hundred, capable of single-handedly confronting over a dozen Soldier Kings?"
"Of course!"
"How about it?"
"Can you still do these things?"
Seeing Qin Hu's shocked expression, Fu Guo'an couldn't help but feel a hint of smugness.
Although he couldn't reveal the true identity of Qin Xuan, he could still utilize some minor details.
Although Qin Xuan only received a second-class merit this time, his actions had spread throughout the entire military zone.
The news of him subduing a martial arts master would eventually spread.
Upon hearing that Qin Xuan had subdued a martial arts master, Qin Hu looked at Qin Xuan properly for the first time.
As one of the top Soldier Kings in Fu Guo'an's military zone, and a key candidate for promotion to martial arts master in the future,
He naturally knew what a martial arts master truly was.
Yet, the person before him sat casually, appearing weak and listless.
His entire demeanor could even be described as slovenly!
And he, at twenty-six, subdued a martial arts master?
He must be lying to ghosts!
"I can't do what you mentioned, but I don't believe he can either."
"Heh!"
"You stubborn kid!"
Seeing that this donkey was impervious to reason, Fu Guo'an cursed him helplessly.
Qin Xuan, on the other hand, chuckled and slowly spoke, turning to Qin Hu and proposing a rather audacious challenge.
"Old Fu, didn't you say that your soldiers who won the international competition also wanted to challenge me?"
"Since that's the case, let's hold a martial arts competition directly in the military zone."
"I will defend the arena, and they will attack."
"There are no limits on the competition format or the number of participants."
"As long as someone can defeat me, I will offer a prize of one million as a reward, how about it?"
"Of course, no problem."
"You rest here for a moment, I'll arrange it immediately."
Looking at Qin Xuan's smiling face, Fu Guo'an's face also showed a hint of anticipation.
When Qin Xuan had previously visited the military zone, a group of special forces Soldier Kings had gone to the Bear Country to participate in a winter special forces competition.
They hadn't seen Qin Xuan shoot, only that he had defeated many special forces soldiers upon arriving at the military zone.
Therefore, they had been harboring a desire to spar with Qin Xuan.
To see if this young General truly lived up to his reputation.
"Qin Hu."
"Here!"
"Immediately return and assemble your Dragon Shadow Special Operations Team."
"After leading them through warm-up exercises, head to the martial arts training ground."
"Yes!"
