The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 146: Never Get Kidnapped

"What about the hostage?" Lin Fu asked dryly.

"The hostage?" Mervin sneered, "Left to their own devices, it’s best if they have the skill to escape. If they don’t and die, so be it. The family will avenge you anyway. If you can’t bear the disgrace, the family will send someone to usher you on your way."

Lin Fu shivered, feeling like she had fallen into an ice pit.

"Major General Fu Xing’s father died young, also stirring up huge waves. It’s said that Major General Fu Xing avenged his father, slaughtering many. To this day, he’s still at the top of the Free Federation’s most-wanted list, designated as enemy number one. The Free Federation Intelligence Department established a special branch for him. They’ve accumulated as much as 3,900 pages of information on him."

Lin Fu subconsciously hugged her arms tighter.

"What’s the matter?"

"I..." Lin Fu hesitated, then found herself unable to resist defending Fu Xing, "But Major General Fu Xing is recognized by the Empire’s citizens as a good man, a good general."

"You’re too naive. Whoever becomes a general, who isn’t soaked in blood? And he’s one of the six Guardian Dukes. How else could he rule over a star system with more than a hundred stars?"

As Mervin spoke, he suddenly paused, as if realizing something, "Is your backing from the Fu Family? Do you know Fu Tian?"

"..." Lin Fu wasn’t sure what to say and hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Yes, I do know Fu Tian, but I know..."

Just as she was about to say she knew Fu Xing better, Mervin suddenly received a communication and, after reminding her not to be late tomorrow, hastily took his leave.

Leaving Lin Fu to suffer through a night of nightmares.

She dreamed she was kidnapped again.

Fu Xing said to her indifferently: "I will avenge you, letting the entire planet pay for your funeral."

She’d be dead—what good would a funeral do her!

Upon waking, Lin Fu wanted to send Major General Fu Xing a scornful emoji but decided against it in the end.

Eighth Military Starport—

Twelve thousand starships formed a standard formation docked at the Star Port, with the Asgard encircled at the center, its light flowing up and down, dazzling and mesmerizing onlookers.

Countless soldiers formed orderly lines to disembark.

Freshmen from the three military academies also gathered under the guidance of their teachers and drill instructors in the vast Artificial Celestial Body.

Although busy, the order was impeccable.

Since the start of the school year, this was the first collective appearance of new students from the three academies, each standing tall and revitalized, their spirits visibly uplifted.

Competing with one another.

The attention on Elbert, however, was mostly one of disdain.

The prodigies of the First Military Academy listed on the freshmen rankings didn’t even bother to glance at Elbert, considering it a second-rate military academy unworthy of being their rival.

The entirely Noble-composed Royal Starship Academy, with their more lavish uniforms and more arrogant students, looked down upon the First Military Academy and even more so upon Elbert Non-commissioned Officer College, which was about to lose its name.

It just so happened that Elbert’s assigned area was in the middle, with the Royal Starship Academy on the left and the First Military Command College on the right.

One didn’t need to think to know how dreadful this was.

Those specializing in Combat Sequence fared better, unperturbed even as they were scrutinized with oppressive stares from both sides.

But the others, already lacking confidence and instinctively feeling inferior, crumbled as they were measured with countless eyes filled with contempt, scorn, and disdain.

Many hung their heads, disheartened and discouraged.
