The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 414

Mutant. The thought inexplicably flashed through Ye Tian’s mind, but on second thought, it didn’t seem right. Mutants usually exhibited changes throughout their entire bodies, yet the person in front of him had clearly mutated just one arm. But enduring just the hand alone was already unbearable for him, let alone if his whole body mutated... No! They were in a dilemma too!

Ye Tian began to slowly guess the intentions of the five individuals. Their goals might have already deviated from the original path, and it probably had something to do with the person in front of him.

"Ma Chao, stop."

At the Political Commissar’s command, Ma Chao’s mutation indeed ceased, but it was clear from his complexion and difficulty controlling the mutation of his arm that he wasn’t quite adept at it—this was evident from his trembling arm and the slightly pained expression on his face. Witnessing this, Ye Tian didn’t feel much relief. He could obviously see Ma Chao’s suffering, but what weighed on his mind was the thought that this plan was bound to cost many lives. Initially, their small Dragon Team’s selection process was carried out in batches, eliminating many who couldn’t persevere in the early stages. However, as the selection progressed, an increasing number were those who ended up physically disabled due to their tenacity.

They were indeed the most pitiable ones.

And what about this mutation project that had higher physical requirements? The harshness of its selection process went without saying—could it even cost lives!

As the last strip of white bandage was tied around his finger, Ma Chao returned to normal, his complexion becoming similar to what it was at the beginning. It seemed that his recovery ability was still pretty impressive.

"Do you want to kill me?"

"Mm."

"Why?"

"I never need a reason to kill. It’s you who hesitates to kill, talking indecisively. It’s quite irritating, really."

"You being irritated is your business. But resorting to these tricks to increase Combat Power, to think you have the nerve to accept it, well, men must be ruthless to themselves, right?"

Even at this juncture, Ye Tian couldn’t help but run his mouth.

I don’t care who you are; your boss is here begging me to take on a job. What can your whining do?

Seeing the two men locking eyes as if about to fight, the Political Commissar hastened to interject, "Uh, Chao, why don’t you go downstairs and rest for a bit? I’ll call you back in if there’s something later."

He had originally thought that witnessing Ma Chao’s ability would temper Ye Tian’s behavior, but contrary to expectations, Ye Tian became even more presumptuous. This guy truly had a stubborn temperament.

"Cough cough, that..."

"You don’t have to say anything. Just agree to one condition, and I will unconditionally agree to all your conditions."

The corners of the Political Commissar’s mouth twitched, he wanted to say something but refrained, uncertain of Ye Tian’s thoughts. If Ye Tian made a ridiculous demand, he’d have to quit his role as Chief of Staff and go home to raise pigs.

Knowing he was out of his depth, the Political Commissar turned with a pleading look in his eyes towards the Admiral sitting in the center. Understanding the situation, the latter said, "State your demands, and as long as they’re within our power, we’ll agree. But let’s make it clear upfront, if you’re thinking about plucking stars or capturing the moon, don’t bother. Even if you wanted to, we couldn’t do it. If you find some technique for immortality, then we might consider it."

Ye Tian nodded, "Of course, my demands wouldn’t lack creativity."

Five individuals, each at the rank of Chief of Staff or higher, were all waiting for Ye Tian sitting on the chair to speak up about his demands.

Ye Tian mused with his head down, restfully closed his eyes, and finally lifted his gaze languidly.

The atmosphere in the entire room shifted with his lift of the head.

"I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know when I have thought it out."

Bloody hell!

The Admiral in the center cursed Ye Tian silently with a popular phrase and then said with an unfazed expression, "All right then, that’s settled for now. You go back to the hospital, and we’ll notify you about the specific tasks you’ll need to handle."

"Don’t hold back, give me a heads up. Where am I headed next? Where will I find the people to form the new Dragon Team? And my old brothers, you said they weren’t dead, what do you mean?"

After a moment’s hesitation, the Admiral said, "According to the information we’ve gathered, the members of the former Dragon Team mysteriously disappeared after carrying out a secret mission, and they didn’t die. Agents of the National Security Bureau have spotted them in various locations such as Tokyo, Japan, Washington, United States, and other regions, but judging from the situation at the time, these individuals are not in good shape at present."

"What do you mean ’not in good shape’?"

The Admiral sighed, "The chaos of wars in Africa, the drug markets in South America, the oil wars in the Middle East, and some political assassinations in small countries—all have been the scenes of these people’s actions. Their tactics and fighting skills are definitely at the top level in the world. It can be said that the former members of the Old Dragon Team have now become the world’s most elite mercenary organization."

The five elders were visibly concerned by this news, only Ye Tian appeared relaxed, chuckling, "Heh, those of the Dragon Team, they can’t be killed that easily and manage to thrive everywhere."

This comment drew a collective eye roll from the others.

"Regarding your mission, it will be delivered to your hospital room tomorrow. You can study it in detail and if you need anything, you can ask then. Oh, and for the reconstruction mission of the Dragon Team, you can select anyone from any army unit. Whoever you take a liking to, you can directly recruit them."

Huh? Quite generous! I like it.

Before leaving, Ye Tian borrowed a cellphone and called Old Man Mo, who was holed up in the King Mansion. He didn’t say anything superfluous, just stated plainly, "I know everything," and then hung up. Later, thinking of Tang Su, Ye Tian initially wanted to make another call, but after some consideration, he restrained himself. Given Tang Su’s condition, he believed Mo Yan would take good care of her. As he was thinking, the phone rang—it was Mo Yan.

"It’s me."

Ye Tian said one line, but silence lingered on the other end.

"Please take care of Susu for me. If anything happens, let me know at any time, thank you."

Not waiting for a response, Ye Tian hung up. Because of Old Man Mo, Ye Tian’s feelings towards Mo Yan had grown complex. He suspected that Mo Yan might have known about his circumstances from the beginning, but due to various reasons, he hadn’t been told. If this was indeed the case, even Ye Tian himself wasn’t sure how he should feel about Mo Yan.

Hatred? Or as if nothing had happened?

Unable to decide on a clear stance, Ye Tian simply chose to hang up the call.
