Chapter 301 The Past

“Do you think we didn’t want to reunite with everyone? We wanted to as well, more than anyone but we, we could not. For these twenty years, we’ve hidden our names and identities and lived very carefully, just so we can have the opportunity to avenge the deaths of our brothers.”

As Cai Shen spoke, he seemed to recall again the tragic situation of the past. His eyes were rimmed with red and he clenched his fist with a fierce expression. His tears flowed freely down his cheeks.

“Death of our brothers? Who was sacrificed?” Mo Fei froze. He slowly pushed away Money God and asked with a tense expression.

“Of thirty brothers, the only four that survived were Big Brother Dragon Teeth, Fu-tzu, Hunter, and myself. Mountain Cat, Night Panther, Black Eagle, Bullet, Wolf Head, Lion Tooth, Metal Tiger, and the others are all dead. Twenty-five brothers all died, and they died without a complete corpse. We are so useless; we couldn’t even bring back their bodies...”

Money God couldn’t catch his breath as he cried like a child, each sob blending into the next.

Mo Fei’s eyes were bloodshot and his body trembled. He muttered to himself in disbelief, “Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Thirty brothers of Dragon Soul, they could walk the earth and not face a single challenger. How could it be like this?”

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong and he thought of a terrifying possibility. With his blood running cold, he looked at Money God and said, “You just said that only four of you survived. Why did you say twenty-five brothers died? It should be twenty-six, who is the other person?”

“A spy drugged our water, all thirty of us fell into the ambush. Fu-tzu, Hunter, and I were heavily injured. Big Brother Dragon Teeth brought up the rear and gambled his life to rush us out of the enemy’s entrapment. In the end, we escaped to a little village completely isolated from the world and was saved by a South-west witch. The three of us lay in bed for half a year. Dragon Teeth was unusually skilled and he concerned about our brothers’ bodies so he went back the next day to collect them. They had all been blown to pieces, completely unrecognizable. Dragon Teeth spent the entire day and only managed to rebuild twenty-five bodies.”

Money God sobbed and said, “We would rather believe that an enemy plotted against us, would rather believe that that body was blown up so thoroughly that not even a piece of bone could be would, rather than believe that one of our own brothers betrayed us. But reality proved that there really was a spy. The witch personally conducted DNA tests on all the brothers. There were only the blood and bones of twenty-five people. One was missing.”

“Who? Who was it?”

Mo Fei’s eyes were completely bloodshot. Veins stood out on his forehead and his nails were dug so deep into his palms that he was unconsciously dripping blood. His words were like the roar of an injured wild beast.

“The missing person was Death God.”

Money God painfully closed his eyes. “We would rather believe he has turned to dust than believe he would betray us.”

“Death God? How could it be? How could it be him?”

Mo Fei shook his head in disbelief. “No, it couldn’t be. Big Brother Dragon Teeth treated him like his younger brother and raised him like his own son. He even said that after he retired, Death God would take his place. Death God has always respected and looked up to Big Brother Dragon Teeth, how could it be him?”

“We also didn’t want to believe it. Big Brother Dragon Teeth also didn’t want to believe it. So, in a rage, Big Brother Dragon Teeth pursued them from Myan to Yue and killed all three hundred people who ambushed us but he still didn’t discover Death God’s whereabouts. The Yue drug dealers were so cowardly and shameful that they used women and children to undermine Big Brother. Big Brother suffered heavy injuries and had no choice but to retaliate, wiping out an entire village.”

Sorrow appeared on Money God’s face. “How many Shenzhou soldiers have been killed by Yue women and children? At that time, if Big Brother did not kill them, they would have killed Big Brother. Wiping out the threat in self-defense, what wrong was it to kill them? But the superiors put the crime of failing the mission and indiscriminate killing of civilians on his head and sent him to martial court.”

Mo Fei’s emotions were uncontrollable and difficult to calm. He had not thought there would be such a twist. “At the time, Big Brother Dragon Teeth returned to the squad alone. Superiors said that he colluded with foreign powers and killed all of you. We didn’t believe that at all, the entire Dragon Soul erupted. But Big Brother allowed them to blacken his name and did not explain himself at all. We weren’t able to help at all.”

“That was because Big Brother had no hope left. He was so good to Death God and had taught him everything he knew and did his best to raise him yet, in the end, he caused the deaths of so many innocent brothers. He pulled all the blame to himself. As for the rest of us, we became martyrs and entered into the lists of the dead.”

Money God laughed tragically and wiped away his tears. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Dragon Scale and Dragon Horn did everything they could to protect him but it was all in vain. Someone in the dark wanted to kill Dragon Teeth. While in prison, all his skills were stripped from him. Even the nerves at his hands and feet were snipped. He was going to be given the death penalty very soon. After we recovered, we heard the news and rushed to find Dragon Scale. In a fit of rage, Dragon Scale led us on a prison break. We rescued Dragon Teeth and escaped out of the country with the help of someone else.”

“What? Big Brother Dragon Teeth has become a useless person?”

The expression on Mo Fei’s face changed dramatically and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably. Unable to calm his emotions, he suddenly realized, “No wonder Dragon Scale was transferred after Big Brother was removed from the military records, so it was because he broke into the prison. All these years, the brothers have resented Dragon Scale and Dragon Horn for not helping Big Brother. Who knew they had done so much?”

“Never doubt their relationship. At that time, Big Brother had thoughts of dying. It was Dragon Horn who, during a visit, told him he already had a son. It was only because of this that Big Brother pulled himself together.”

Money God seemed to think of something and a warm smile rose to the corner of his lips. Little Ding Ning, it’s been five years. Are you doing well?

“Big Brother has a son? How old? Who is sister-in-law?”

Mo Fei asked with surprise.

“Don’t ask who sister-in-law is, but you’ve met Big Brother’s son before.”

Money God purposefully milked the moment.

“I’ve met him? How is that possible?” Mo Fei poured a cup of tea of Money God and pulled him down to sit on the sofa as he asked with confusion.

A proud smile appeared on Money God’s fat face. “Like father, like son. How could Big Brother’s son be someone ordinary? Think carefully, of the people surnamed Ding, which is the most talented?”

“Most talented? Surnamed Ding? We do have someone named Ding Hanming in the National Security Agency who could be considered talented. Is he Big Brother’s son? No, no, Ding Hanming is almost forty, it’s impossible for him to be Big Brother’s son. Surnamed Ding, surnamed Ding... who is it?”

Mo Fei scratched his head and thought hard but he could not think of the answer. Seeing Money God’s pleased expression, he asked miserably, “Brother, my dear brother, tell me. I can’t think of it.”

“You idiot, I really don’t know how you go to be the director of the National Security Agency. Ding Ning is so brilliant, yet you can’t recall him. You really are pig-brained, no wonder your nickname was Xiao Gangbao in the team; you’re a brainless idiot...”

Money God angrily and indignantly scolded.

Mo Fei did not get angry, it was as if he had returned to the time when he was in the team and being scolded by Money God. He scratched the back of his head and smiled goofily.

As he smiled, he suddenly realized what had been said and opened in his mouth in shock. “What did you just say? Ding Ning is Big Brother Dragon Teeth’s son?”

“Idiot, even your reflex arc is slower than everyone else’s. I said that ages ago, but you only just realized?”

Money God knocked on his head without good humor.

“My god, Ding Ning is Big Brother’s son. Holy, he’s been under my eye for a long time yet I didn’t even recognize him. I’m so stupid.”

Mo Fei slapped his leg angrily and excitedly.

“Nonsense, even I wouldn’t have recognized him. Ding Ning does not look much like Big Brother, and he looks more like sister-in-law.”

Money God leaned back against the sofa and sipped his tea contently. Abruptly, his expression grew serious and he said, “Xiao Gangbao, I came this time because I have a few matters I need your help with.”

“Speak, isn’t it only a few things. As long as it’s not treason, even if it’s arson and murder, I’ll do it.”

Mo Fei confidently slapped his chest.

“Scram, why would I need you, director of the National Security Bureau, to commit arson and murder?”

Money God glared at Mo Fei without good humor and said, with a serious expression, “First, you have to keep Ding Ning’s identity a secret. If Death God really was the spy, he should have already changed his name and entered Shenzhou country. Once he knows of Ding Ning’s identity, he will certainly go after him. Death God is very naturally talented otherwise, Big Brother would not have taught him everything. Who knows what realm he has reached in these twenty years? Big Brother’s skills were stripped back then. Although his meridians have been repaired, it is impossible to recover his Dantian. He may no longer be a match for Death God so we cannot be careless.”

“You can rest assured. I promise not to tell anyone, not even our brothers.”

Mo Fei promised sincerely.

“That’s good!”

Money God nodded with approval. “Second, Ding Ning was raised by a few of us together. In the future, his path is destined to differ from those of other people. I don’t care what method you use, find a way to give him some special privilege, something like a license to kill.”

The corners of Mo Fei’s mouth twitched and he said awkwardly, “Even I can’t kill people without it being a crime, this is not something within my power.”

“Look at you, you just said arson and murder are okay yet you can’t even do such a small thing. Say, what’s the point of being the director of the National Security Agency?”

Money God teased him mercilessly.

“I...” Mo Fei couldn’t say anything for a moment. Then he decisively said, “Then I’ll give him the position of special consultant to the National Security Agency. Although this won’t let him kill without it being a crime, as long as he can prove that the person he killed was guilty, I can promise no one will follow-up on him.”

“Then give him that consultant thing. Ding Ning is not someone to indiscriminately kill innocent people.”

Money God said with begrudging reluctance, making Mo Fei’s teeth itch.

“Third, think of a way for Ding Ning to join Dragon Soul. Have him fight for the title of Dragon Teeth. This title cannot fall into the hands of the Zhao family.”

As he spoke of this, Money God’s expression became very serious.

Mo Fei was surprised then laughed awkwardly, “Brother, my dear brother, I am the director of the National Security Agency, not the head of Dragon Soul. Putting aside whether Ding Ning is willing to join, even if he was willing, I have no way of making Dragon Soul accept him.”

“Idiot, since I’ve mentioned it, naturally I’ve made the arrangements. To tell you the truth, this was Dragon Horn’s idea and Big Brother approved. But Dragon Horn is concerned that if he approached Ding Ning directly, it could raise suspicions and put him in danger. So, you will recommend Ding Ning enter into Ninghai Garrison Command’s Sharp Sword special force then participate in the domestic army competition representing Ninghai Garrison Command. As long as he does well in the competition, all major special forces will try to recruit him. At that time, he will request to join Dragon Soul and everything will be done.”

Money God said confidently, “As for Ding Ning, I will talk to him ahead of time. When the time comes, I will have him change his appearance. You just need to provide him with a realistic fake identity to join the Sharp Sword special forces.”
