Chapter 168: The Tuna Has Arrived

Watching the backs of those medical staff disappear at the operating room door, the Elder Principal softly sighed, turned to Liu Xiaotian and said:

"Liu, is your injury okay? I'll have someone come treat you."

Liu Xiaotian shook his head, turned off the safety of the Dragunov semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand, removed the magazine to check the bullets inside, then raised his head and said to the Elder Principal: "Principal, I have something I want to ask you."

The Elder Principal seemed to see his thoughts, a faint smile appearing on his face as he said:

"Child, I think I know what you want to ask."

"Indeed, regarding Natasha and Xie Liaosha siblings, besides me, originally only your Chief Instructor knew."

"But now you also know."

"With such a relationship, now that one is dead, wouldn't they seek revenge? The remaining two siblings certainly know who their enemy is, but before they could find a shooting angle, Liu Xiaotian was taken out of that room by the Elder Principal."

In one, one look `no, one wrong version%!

"And this way, the other people of Warrior School are in trouble."

"Now, if it weren't for knowing they lack the equipment and strength to storm this small building, they'd have already come in to avenge Liu Xiaotian."

"If it were twenty years ago, I would definitely have kept you by my side and trained you to be the next Chief Instructor."

"The Action Squad is fine; aside from He Chen Guang and the two others on the rooftop, everyone else is not in this area."

"If they had known earlier how dangerous this was, they should at least have consulted He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei, right? After all, back then those two only gave them the order to obey Warrior School's arrangements in full and follow the rules here, not to risk their lives! But now they're already involved, and saying anything now is too late."

"Actually, what's happening now isn't that dangerous."

Liu Xiaotian: ……

"But you don't need to worry; I summoned you and brought you here not to silence you after this matter ends."

"After all, only the dead can truly keep a secret."

"This time, the Elder Principal didn't directly answer Liu Xiaotian's question, merely saying: "He may not be here, but what he has to do is more important."

"In his heart, he had already begun hoping the Elder Principal would immediately stop his narration."

Liu Xiaotian gave a modest smile, not picking up the thread.

"Don't you Easterners have a saying, 'Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao'?"

"Moreover, the instructors of Warrior School distributed nearby have been silently taken out four or five of them in the past few minutes."

"Principal, I need a high ground now, preferably with cover; I don't know if the rooftop will do."

"Who would want to be a Chief Instructor under you? Never mind whether you have that ability; even if you did, wouldn't it be better for me to go back and be an instructor? Training my country's special forces, boosting its special forces strength—that's the truly meaningful thing. What's the point of being a Chief Instructor here? Just to gain international fame?"

"He swiftly sneaked into the Warrior School grounds under the cover of darkness, with a clear target, heading straight for the Elder Principal's small building."

"Or rather, he had no confidence he could survive tonight!"

"The one Liu Xiaotian took out was the husband of that woman, and the other man is her brother."

"Not to mention the Elder Principal; even he himself can't fully believe that he won't someday reveal what he saw and heard tonight."

"He is now eager to get back to ground level, because he worries about He Chen Guang and the two others still on the rooftop."

"Saying this, the Elder Principal softly sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "When I learned that Natasha would actually collude with others, seeking external help to kill me and destroy this school, I had already decided not to remain principal. Oh, right, perhaps you can now call him principal."

Liu Xiaotian froze for a moment: "Then… why not let the Chief Instructor come here?"

"If it weren't for He Chen Guang and the two others not showing their heads after receiving Liu Xiaotian's hint, the chance of them still being alive would definitely not exceed thirty percent!"

The Elder Principal thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:

He thought in his heart:

Liu Xiaotian nodded, half-understanding.

And their relationship is not as simple as friendship.

Someone may die because of this, but Warrior School will suffer no impact.

After returning to the first floor, Liu Xiaotian immediately asked the Elder Principal:

The Elder Principal gave a slight smile, though his smile mixed with a hint of helplessness: "Young man, I must admit you are very cautious; I can responsibly say that someone your age having this level of caution will surely reach higher positions in the future."

Just how idle is this old man? Even when he has nothing to do, he still studies our idioms and allusions? "Principal, I'll be careful myself; please tell me how I can get up to the rooftop!" Liu Xiaotian had no mood to praise the Elder Principal's "erudition," and asked bluntly.

Now that he's taken out one of them, won't the remaining two or three retaliate in anger? His worry is absolutely justified, or rather, completely correct. The other side consists of three people who, over the past twenty years or so, have been practically inseparable.

"It should be possible, but Liu, I need to warn you that around here we still have at least two opponents we haven't detected."

"In certain specific situations, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes—a principle Liu Xiaotian understands very well."

"Because I have already decided that the next principal of Warrior School will be him."

"He doesn't care for mere food and drink! Moreover, there's an important issue the Elder Principal seems to have overlooked: that Liu Xiaotian's involvement this time is entirely out of helplessness."

"At least, I currently have no confidence in being able to find them."

"Of course, this isn't because I trust you, but because I no longer care—including that you now know my name."

"In his view, the three or four Level 2 individuals mentioned by Character: Jiaweis are likely the same mercenary squad, or old friends bound by life-and-death ties."

"Their strength is very strong!"

"Just as Liu Xiaotian reached the rooftop of that small building, Wang Qingshan also arrived."

"You should believe that, given my ability, as long as I don't want to be found, nobody in this world can find me—including your Chief Instructor."

"Principal, I think we should first deal with the immediate crisis, what do you think?" Liu Xiaotian timely interrupted the Elder Principal's words.

Three people, two men and one woman.

Just from this point alone, it's clear he is definitely not his first time at Warrior School; he is very familiar with the terrain here.

Along the way he hardly encountered any obstacles; the two Action Team soldiers he failed to dodge were both casually knocked to the ground by him.

Although there is no danger to life, they certainly won't wake up within the next two or three hours.

This includes the private who had clashed with Liu Xiaotian…
