While we were eating, the satellite phone suddenly rang.

Wenren Lei pressed the speakerphone button and threw the phone on the table: "Speak."

Yi Yang's voice came through the receiver: "Boss, you might need to come to the war zone dispatch center."

The combat readiness zone was located on the outermost layer of the base, quite far away. Wenren Lei didn't really want to go. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Yi Yang lowered his voice and said, "For team registration, we need to test your ability level on-site."

Wenren Lei sat up straight and scratched his head: "Can't we just register directly? Can't I even get through this little back door?"

Yi Yang lowered his voice even further: "Originally, we could have made an exception. But we ran into Liao Xingwei, who insisted on treating everyone equally and even instigated his team to cause trouble, specifically demanding your presence."

Wenren Lei gritted her teeth: "Are you going to make a big fuss again?"

Yi Yang glanced back at the noisy crowd: "It seems so."

"I'm going right now." Wenren Lei said, then grabbed the phone and hung up.

He sat quietly at the table for a moment, rubbing his temples, and said, "I'm going to beat him up."

Fu Yan shook his slightly aching head and said, "Okay."

Wenren Lei stood up: "Don't drive." Driving around like that is slower than Fu Yan walking on the rooftop.

"Have some." Fu Yan handed over a thermos cup containing water with a concentrated stabilizing agent added.

Wenren Lei took the thermos and was then pulled into Fu Yan's arms as they walked out the door. He nestled in Fu Yan's arms and impatiently sucked on the water.

It takes more than 20 minutes to drive from the compound to the war zone, but Fu Yan arrived in 10 minutes.

Stopping at the entrance of the dispatch center hall, Wenren Lei jumped down from Fu Yan's arms.

Fu Yan asked, "Did you remember everything I just said?"

Wenren Lei nodded.

Having just drunk the stabilizing potion and been exposed to the cold wind the whole way, his anger had subsided considerably.

The original intention was to beat Liao Xingwei to death, but the intention was to cripple him.

After all, he's the son of a high-ranking official in the league. If he's really beaten to death, his brother will also be in trouble.

Wenren Lei walked in with a dark face, found the team registration office, and kicked the door open.

The room was a complete mess, and the team registration process had come to a standstill.

Everyone stood against the wall, their eyes fixed on the center of the room—Han Mingjie and Yi Yang were arguing with Liao Xingwei and his group, their necks stiff.

"Boss." Meng Fan was the first to see Wenren Lei and called out.

The room fell silent instantly, and the people on both sides stopped arguing and looked over at each other.

Han Mingjie strode over and complained rapidly: "Boss, this kid is so unreasonable. He insists that you lied about your ability level and that it's against the rules for our whole team to be ability users, so he's forcing us to split into different teams."

Wenren Lei nodded and slowly walked up to Liao Xingwei.

Liao Xingwei was followed by four people: one superhuman and three ordinary people. It seemed that they were planning to form a standard five-person team with two superhumans.

Liao Xingwei looked at Wenren Lei and frowned, saying, "It's you again."

Wenren Lei took a deep breath and asked, "When are you going back to the Alliance Command?"

Liao Xingwei didn't expect Wenren Lei to say such a thing right away. His expression changed slightly: "I stay here not because of my family background, but because of myself."

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow: "Who asked you?"

"I hope you are too," Liao Xingwei said seriously. "Don't think that just because you have some status in the base, you can do whatever you want, and you're not even willing to show up in person for the registration team."

"What do you wish for?" Wenren Lei casually tossed her hair. "My brother is the base commander, and I'm the boss in Area 11. You've messed with me today, and I'll have my brother kick you out later."

"You!" Liao Xingwei was speechless for a moment.

From childhood to adulthood, because his parents held high positions, everyone around him treated him with utmost respect.

However, he believes he never uses his family background to bully anyone and always strives for fairness in all matters and with all people.

This was the first time he had ever met someone who openly and verbally abused their power to bully others.

Wenren Lei rolled her eyes at him: "What do you mean, 'you'?"

Liao Xingwei opened his mouth and said, "I don't believe Ayu is that kind of person."

Wenren Lei paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Who are you calling A Yu? What do you mean he's not that kind of person? I didn't kill anyone, set fires, steal chickens, bully men and women at the base."

The way you're saying that would make anyone who doesn't know the situation think my brother did something heinous for me.

How could you ruin someone's reputation like that? How dare someone like you like him?

Yi Yang quietly moved to Fu Yan's side and whispered curiously, "Where exactly did Boss study Chinese?"

Fu Yan's gaze was fixed on Wenren Lei. He turned his head slightly and whispered, "He has never lost an argument since he was a child. He can only reason with half of his arguments, and there is no solution."

"Understood." Yi Yang looked on with admiration and continued watching the battle.

Liao Xingwei hurriedly tried to explain, "That's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?" Wenren Lei looked around. "There are many newcomers here who don't know the base commander's character. Who wouldn't have ulterior motives after hearing your words?"

"Even so," Liao Xingwei stammered, "it was you who broke the rules first."

Wenren Lei laughed silently: "I never said I followed the rules."

Liao Xingwei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said to himself, "First, your team of seven ability users does not comply with the team formation rules. Second, you formed a team but did not show up for the actual ability level test, so I reasonably suspect that you are lying about your ability level."

"Are you deaf?" Wenren Lei licked his back teeth. "What's it to you?"

Liao Xingwei raised his voice: "Watch your mouth!"

A hurried voice came from the registration desk: "Two, two people..."

Wenren Lei and Liao Xingwei looked over at the same time.

The staff member in charge of registration finally mustered up the courage to step forward and try to control the situation.

One is the deputy commander of the alliance's own son, and the other is the base commander's own younger brother. If a fight were to break out at his registration office, he would definitely be sent to the labor zone to work as a crematorium worker.

"Um..." The registrar walked between the two, swallowed hard, and mustered his courage to say, "Gentlemen, as you can see, the young leader Wenren has arrived. Why don't you have him take the test?"

Before Wenrenlei could launch her attack, the registrar quickly added, "Of course I know you have the ability, and there's no need for you to exaggerate. But since this matter has already caused a stir, why don't you take the test yourself to silence the gossip?"

Wenren Lei licked his canine teeth: "Where did this gossip come from?" He glanced around at the forty-odd people waiting to register and form teams, and asked loudly, "Do you have any objections?"

The person who was seen shook their head frantically, repeatedly saying, "No, no, no, no..."

Wenren Lei chuckled merrily, looking at Liao Xingwei and his four teammates: "Aren't these just five toads making a racket?"

Liao Xingwei's teammate was attacked and instantly broke through his defenses.

"Does being the base commander's brother give him the right to swear at people?!"

"You have absolutely no manners!"

"How dare you talk like that?"

"You think you're right to break the rules?"

Seeing the commotion on the other side, Yi Yang and his group were not to be outdone, so they rolled up their sleeves and took two steps forward.

"Try calling it again!"

"Who are you referring to?! Do you want me to chop your hand off?!"

"It would be easier for me to just cremate you all."

"Gentlemen, gentlemen!" The registrar was on the verge of collapse, sweating profusely, and loudly pleading, "We're all from the same base, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!"
