When Li Yingjie was about to slap his cheek, Zhou Chen wanted to move away from his hand. However, he got suppressed by his force of presence, freezing him in his place, forcing him to receive all the slaps on his cheeks. He could clearly feel each slap progressing more harsher than the last, with the distinct and continuous ‘pah’ sound. Zhou Chen glared at Li Yingjie furiously. He would have fainted by the slaps but his anger forced him to remain conscious.

“As expected of an ace mecha clan. What a grand entrance.” A sarcastic voice sounded from the door.

Zhou Chen looked at the person who came and his eyes lit up. His life savior was here to save him.

Li Yingjie turned his head slowly and saw a handsome 30 years old lieutenant colonel smiling as he walked in. When he walked passed Li Yingjie, he glanced at the other officers from the base who were watching the show.

The officers’ expressions changed when they saw this person. When this person glanced at them, they immediately turned and walked away. No one dared to provoke him.

Zhou Chen’s background was strong but it was insignificant compared to this person.

The person stood in front of Li Yingjie and flicked his insignia. He appeared to be dusting his insignia, but Li Yingjie knew that he was showing him that he had a higher rank.

Li Yingjie smiled. ‘Is he trying to compare rank?’ There were many people in his team that had a higher rank than this person. In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, military rank was like an ornament. If everything was done based on rank, 250 Ace Mecha Clan would be in a mess. Their regiment commander was just a lieutenant colonel. However, there were many senior colonels and lieutenant colonels in the mecha clan.

The person was confused when he noticed that Li Yingjie was not frightened at all by his rank. The thought of threatening this person using his military rank was pushed to the side. Compared to Zhou Chen, this person was much more vigilant. He knew that there were normally two kinds of people that were not afraid of someone with a higher rank than themselves. These kinds of people were either rash and stupid, or he had the capabilities or background to not be afraid. The first kind was easy to deal with but the second…

“Major, shouldn’t you restrain yourself since you just came to the base?” The person asked.

“Restrain?” Li Yingjie smiled. “We are already restraining ourselves.” Based on his temper in the past, he would have already ordered his team to jump on Zhou Chen together by now.

The person was clearly not expecting such a reply as he was stunned, freezing his smile. ‘This brat doesn’t show me any respect at all. How irritating.’ The person’s eyes turned cold. He lowered his right hand and rubbed his fingers quickly.

At that moment, Zhou Chen suddenly shouted, “Boss Song, these people are looking down on our mecha clan and on you too.”

The person glared at Zhou Chen. ‘What an idiot!’ He wanted to understand more about the other party first so that he could make a better decision but Zhou Chen’s words immediately made them enemies. He was forcing him to teach this brat a lesson. If not, he wouldn’t be able to hold his head up high in Base 013 anymore. Everyone would think that he was afraid of this brat if he did not teach him a lesson.

The person hated Zhou Chen for saying this. No one could force him to do anything. Even if Zhou Chen came from the biggest family that supported his grandfather, he wouldn’t forgive him so easily.

Zhou Chen’s heart dropped when he felt Boss Song’s cold gaze. He knew that he had offended his boss in his rush to take revenge on Li Yingjie. He remembered Boss Song’s cruel methods of torture. Cold sweat formed on his forehead. The thought of revenge was quickly thrown to the back of his mind. He didn’t even have the time to think of Lady Mei now as he was thinking of ways to pacify Boss Song so that he would let him off.

Boss Song turned to look at Li Yingjie. He clapped his hands lightly and laughed, “Did you hear what my friend said? Is that true?”

‘If this brat back down, I would let him off for now. I need to get more information about him first before I take any action.’

“If your mecha clan is filled with people like him, what he said is exactly what I think.” Li Yingjie looked at that bunch of people that got beaten up by Han Xuya who was still groaning in pain. He scoffed. In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, even the logisticians wouldn’t want to hire these people.

Boss Song’s expression turned dark. He could see that this brat in front of him was a rash idiot who didn’t know when to give someone an out.

“If that is the case, I have to see what kind of people 250 Ace Mecha Clan is made out of.” Boss Song sneered.

Although their mecha clan was not an ace mecha clan, all their mecha operators were special-class operators. There were even a few ace mecha masters among them. He was an ace mecha master too. It could be said that his mecha clan was on par with a normal ace mecha clan with a bunch of special and ace operators like 250. He knew this information because he went to ask the commanding officer beforehand and got the information that 250 Mecha Clan was such a mecha clan.

(The commanding officer: It is true that this mecha clan consists of a combination of special-class operators and ace mecha masters. However, I didn’t mention the details just now. Around 95% of their total mecha operators are ace mecha masters. The number of special-class operators is less than 5% of their total mecha operators…)

“However, before we fight, let me introduce myself so that you know who you are fighting with. My name is Song Yiqing,” Song Yiqing said calmly.

Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up. He added hurriedly, “Our Boss Song’s grandfather is the Second Marshal of the Federation. He is the Regiment Commander of 224 Mecha Clan which is under the 8th battalion. After he completes this mission, he will become the regiment commander of an ace mecha clan…” Zhou Chen told everyone Song Yiqing’s background.

“You speak too much,” Song Yiqing scolded him. However, the pride in his eyes was apparent.

Li Yingjie frowned. He didn’t expect such a person to exist in this small base. This… he couldn’t handle this person.

In the Federation, elite families and the military were two entirely different entities. Although the Li family was an elite family and had much presence outside, its influence in the military was less than a regiment commander that had real power. This was why the Li family wanted to control a military division. They wanted to have an actual say in the military world. However, the military kept its guard against the elite families too. They wanted to prevent a single family from becoming invincible. That was why the Li family’s 4th division had many other factions in it. The other elite families also met the same situation. No matter how much effort they put in, they were unable to control an entire faction. Some elite families lost their chance to gain military power and became a collaborator of one of the marshals. The Zhou family was an instance of this.

Li Yingjie was arrogant and bossy but he was not stupid. He knew that he couldn’t handle this person so he went to look for help.

“Qi Long! He is looking for you!”

Li Yingjie threw this troublesome fellow to Qi Long. Then, he disappeared quickly.

Since the Second Marshal was not on good terms with the Third Marshal, why not he let the heir of the 13th division, which was under the third marshal, play with Song Yiqing?
