I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 777

Since the Dragon Squad’s Ashura Compass was so important, Chen Hao didn’t dare waste a single moment and headed straight for the Dragon Squad base with Master Ghost after delegating the tasks at hand. The base itself was in Taiwu Mountain.

Of course, the entire area was off limits to all but the most skilled experts for security reasons, since they were tasked with completing all sorts of confidential and dangerous missions under military supervision; they were called China’s Hidden Dragon for that same reason.

“Are you mad, Yun Haotian? It’s bad enough that you’re bringing this inexperienced kid into the Dragon Squad, but you’re also nominating him as the base’s instructor?” In the office of Director Long Ye, Yun Haotian’s emotional account of what had happened confused the other team leader and even Long Ye himself.

Long Ye was a man in his 60s with greying hair, but every act of his exuded charisma that befitted his extraordinary self. As director, he was naturally more calm and collected, which allowed him to listen silently as the team leaders bickered.

The one who’d criticized Yun Haotian was Zhu Baoqing, a man in his 40s and the 368th generation successor of the Iron Palm technique, an attack that was capable of splitting the hardest of rocks with the user’s bare hands! The other team leaders, though, were not so confrontational since it was common knowledge that Sergeant Zhu and Sergeant Yun of the First and Second Teams respectively had always been rivals. As such, they largely stayed out of the fight.

“What are you getting so worked up about, Zhu Baoqing? I’m doing this for the good of the whole Dragon Squad! Mr. Chen is exceptionally powerful. His powers are beyond all our imaginations, and I worked hard to get him to teach us! Director, you know I’d never take risks unless it was a calculated one!” argued Yun Haotian.

Long Ye couldn’t help but nod; it was true that Yun Haotian had earned his trust over the years due to his calm nature. If he was giving this Chen Hao so much praise, then he must be exceptional in some way. “Alright, since you gave such a glowing recommendation, why don’t you let him try it? And what condition did you say he wanted?” Long Ye asked.

“Oh, he just wants to borrow the Ashura Compass!” Yun Haotian said.

Zhu Baoqing immediately raised an eyebrow and scoffed when he heard that. “Hmph! What kind of bullcrap is this? The Ashura Compass? It’s the Dragon Squad’s prized relic! In what world would we just give it to anyone who needs it willy-nilly?” roared Zhu Baoqing.

“Don’t push your luck, Zhu Baoqing! I brought him here for the Dragon Squad’s own good!”

Noticing that a fight was about to start, Long Ye immediately stopped them. “Alright, you two! Let’s just forget about the Ashura Compass for now and see what this Chen Hao can bring to the Dragon Squad!” Long Ye was never one to believe rumors easily and to be fair, Yun Haotian sounded like he was exaggerating too much about this young man, who was only in his mere twenties. So, he was only able to suspend his disbelief out of respect for Yun Haotian.

“That settles it. Dismissed!” Long Ye waved his hand.

“What? Director, don’t you want to meet Mr. Chen since he’s already here?” Yun Haotian said with surprise.

Long Ye frowned slightly upon hearing his words.

Meanwhile, Zhu Baoqing was more perceptive and barked, “Did this last mission give you a concussion, Yun Haotian? You want the Director to meet some random young brat?”

“But—” Yun Haotian began worriedly.
