Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Leng Bing, triggered by Zhang Beixing, gritted his teeth.

”Minister Zhang, didn’t you agree to let me join The Ninth Bureau? I want to operate with the Extraordinary Reserve Squad. I want to be part of your team!”

So that’s what it was.

This request didn’t surprise Zhang Beixing at all.

Zhang Beixing looked at him for a moment before saying.

”I did agree to let you join The Ninth Bureau, but I never agreed to let you join the Extraordinary Reserve Squad, right?”

”Huh?”

Seeing Leng Bing’s confused look, Zhang Beixing smiled.

”Those seven have already been through thick and thin together for some time now. Suddenly adding you might not be very appropriate.”

”It will take time for you all to adapt to each other, which is not very efficient.”

”Once you’re back, I’ll arrange for a medical check-up led by Professor Makely. Only after confirming you’re in good health will I arrange for your official entry into The Ninth Bureau.”

”After me, you would be the second real Martial Artist in the Grandmaster Realm in The Ninth Bureau. Xu Feng can only be considered half; he hasn’t truly reached the pinnacle. I will hold a special press conference just for your entry into The Ninth Bureau.”

”Indeed, you do need a press conference to clear your name.”

Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, Leng Bing’s eyes started to become a bit blank.

He continued to mumble, ”Clear my name?”

Zhang Beixing nodded affirmatively at him, ”Yes, to clear your name.”

”The video recorded by Simoski and Harley Yous, even though it never reached domestically, has been shared widely internationally, garnering a lot of views.”

”As you know, there are many people from our Great Xia who use VPNs...”

Mentioning VPNs, Leng Bing’s gaze at Zhang Beixing changed significantly.

This so-called minister, the world’s only Extraordinary powerhouse, back before his complete rise, was known by the net name of Bachelor of Northriver!

The term ’Bachelor’ is something you’d mostly find on those international forums, isn’t it?

This Minister Zhang is quite the pioneer of VPN usage!

Yet, the odd gaze quickly turned somber.

Indeed, with so many VPN users in Great Xia, those abroad watching his forced traitor video only increased.

So...

”Do you now understand why I must hold a grand press conference for you?”

Leng Bing finally understood, and his expression turned slightly emotional.

He nodded seriously, his face filled with gratitude towards Zhang Beixing.

”Minister! I know all this is for my sake!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing felt immensely satisfied.

Yeah, this guy at least somewhat gets the picture.

Helping clean up his reputation was something he promised Zhang Delin.

After all, not matter what, Leng Bing helped him which led to his current tarnished reputation.

Cleaning up his reputation is indeed something he should do.

But this didn’t stop Zhang Beixing from doing him a favor.

Favors like these are more valuable than money or anything!

Didn’t people in ancient times even give their lives for a favor?

Sometimes, humans are incredibly odd creatures; things can’t always be explained with logic.

After seeing Leng Bing understand, Zhang Beixing added.

”Once you’ve recuperated and I hold the press conference, not only will I clear your name, I will also announce to the reporters that you’ll have the opportunity to personally select six team members from the second batch of Extraordinary Reserve Team Members.”

”I’ll name the seven-member team the Cold Soldier Squad and have you lead them in missions independently.”

”But during the training period, you must gel well with them and improve their strength.”

”You became a Great Grandmaster using a potion, and this cannot be kept under wraps forever; news will undoubtedly leak out.”

”At that time, you’ll certainly face those rumors and challenges. Whether you can maintain a good mindset to face these challenges depends on you.”

With that, Zhang Beixing stopped speaking.

The rest is for the kid to anticipate and ponder.

The plan has been painted, and now it’s up to him to think it over; Zhang Beixing wouldn’t nag any further.

...

...

...

Airport.

The plane’s takeoff procedures were all set.

After arranging for everyone else to board, Zhang Beixing boarded last.

As soon as he entered the cabin, the onboard communication staff sought him out.

Since it was a military transport aircraft, there were no flight attendants.

They were all military personnel!

There were two pilots, one maintenance staff, and one communication staff on board.

The communication officer who found Zhang Beixing was the one on the plane.

”Minister, someone from Wu Country is here.”

Zhang Beixing cast a sidelong glance, not too surprised; it was somewhat expected.

Zhang Beixing immediately took the communicator.

”This is Zhang Beixing.”

After introducing himself, there was a moment of silence on the other end.

For over ten seconds, there was no response, slowly wearing out Zhang Beixing’s patience.

Zhang Beixing wasn’t planning on waiting any longer and was about to hang up when a voice finally emerged on the other end.

”So you’re still not dead!”

Zhang Beixing chuckled at this statement.

No need to see it; he could guess the face on the other end must be livid by now, turning beet red.

”What? Are you unhappy that I’m not dead?”

Zhang Beixing said while accepting the tablet handed over by the communication officer.

The tablet displayed all the information of the person on the other end.

Major General Meyer Gufsky.

The unlucky head of the missile base in Wu Country, whose missile was stolen and tried to retaliate by launching a missile at Zhang Beixing.

”General Meyer Gufsky, I think you shouldn’t be calling me right now; you should contact your superiors, your backers.”

”See if your backers can protect you after not only failing to secure a missile and having one launched at random.”

”And now you’re provoking the senior leader of a powerful country.”

”If I complain upon my return and apply diplomatic pressure on you, would you still have a good outcome?”

”...”

Zhang Beixing couldn’t see the other side’s situation.

But from the subtle sounds, Zhang Beixing could tell that Meyer Gufsky, on the other side, was fuming, shaking with rage.

Even his teeth were chattering.

Clearly, he was extremely agitated.

Zhang Beixing laughed.

”General Meyer Gufsky, is there any other matter for which you contacted me?”

”If there’s nothing else, I will end the call. My plane is about to take off, and I need to return to my seat.”

”...”

Very soon, Zhang Beixing heard Meyer Gufsky’s roar from the other end.

”You are not allowed to take off! You are not allowed to take off! If you dare, I will shoot you down with a missile!”

This statement amused Zhang Beixing thoroughly. He sneered, his tone turning icy.

”You old thing, let me tell you, speaking with you is a courtesy, don’t take it for granted.”

”The capital airport is out of your hands, it’s under Big Bear’s control now, what does my takeoff have to do with you?”

”If you have the guts to shoot down a Great Xia plane, be my guest.”

”Once you launch that missile, regardless of whether you hit, your life is over, as well as your entire family, your clan, so many generations!”

”All of them are finished!”
