Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

Chapter 221: Noise (4)

"Oh? Now you're making this old man curious. What kind of confidence do you have to speak like this?" the elder was smiling wide from hearing Wang Yufei's statement. She looks stunning when she's behaving this way.

The elder then shifted his gaze to Zhang Qin Feng to guess if Wang Yufei's source of confidence came from him. Using his acute sense and experience, he found his answer instantly in less than a minute.

"You have something to discuss with this old man, am I correct?" the Wang Elder caught Zhang Qin Feng's intention for coming here today.

"This junior does have a few things that required the elder's approval." Zhang Qin Feng pulled Wang Yufei to his side before he continued with his unfinished words.

"Junior Zhang Qin Feng wished to get the elder's permission to get married with your beloved granddaughter, Wang Yufei. Can the elder give us your approval for us to get married, please?" Zhang Qin Feng held Wang Yufei's palm tightly as he asked for the elder's permission.

As for Wang Yufei, she looked nervous as she was worried that her grandfather would reject Zhang Qin Feng's request.

"Well… Fei-Fei, leave us alone and go have a talk with Ruo Lan. Grandfather would like to speak with Xiao-Feng privately. Can you do that for your grandfather?" the elder struggled to stand up and give Wang Yufei a pat on her face.

His solemn look seems somewhat unwilling and unhappy about what the couple just said.

"Grandfather…" Wang Yufei felt like a boulder was placed on her shoulder, weighing her from moving another step forward. As for Zhan Qin Feng, he calmly touches Wang Yufei's head before moving to the elder's side and gives him a hand as they walked away.

Zhang Qin Feng had no idea where the elder would like to bring him. But very soon, the two arrived at the garden where Zhang Qin Feng had a friendly fight with Ruo Lan before this.

The two of them walked to a nearby bench and took a seat.

"Looks like this granddaughter of mind already at the age of thinking about marriage." the elder said. Deep in his tone was a hint of emotion that resembles sadness, unwillingness, and lament.

"Have that silly granddaughter of mine tells you about the condition of our Wang Family?" the elder asked. He knew that the story about their family was nothing to be proud of. But no matter how much have the reputation of the Wang Family has fallen, it was still one of the few most prominent families in the entire Dongcheng.

"Fei-Fei didn't go to the detail with me, but the captain did. I might be lacking in many ways, but I'm sure I could help the family. I hope that the elder is willing to overlook my common background and allow me to take care Fei-Fei for the rest of my life." said Zhang Qin Feng.

"Allowing you two to get married won't be a problem, but you'll have to do me a favor. Are you willing?" the Wang Elder thought for a while before he brought up the condition for him to agree to the engagement between Zhang Qin Feng and Wang Yufei.

"Please let this junior know what kind of favor elder was asking for. As long as I could make it happen, I will do my best to accomplish it." Zhang Qin Feng replied.

"Good. I want you to bring the Tianhe Special Squadron back to its prime again. I don't care what method you're going to use, but you're allowed to take whatever measure to make it happen." the elder added.

"This…" Zhang Qin Feng was stupefied by the elder's request.

A responsibility like this was not something he can easily shoulder everything on his own. What's more than that, the Tianhe Special Squadron is considered a part of Dongcheng's military. Even if they have fallen to what they are today, it was still at a level private military forces find it challenging to handle.

And what the elder was asking for is to bring the squadron back to its prime. By prime, it means that the elder is asking Zhang Qin Feng to make the Tianhe Special Squadron comparable to the Tianlang and Tianhu.

It was not something that can be done in a short period.

"Elder, this favor is too challenging. Even if junior were to use all the financial support I have, it wouldn't be enough to equip half of the units." Zhang Qin Feng replied. He was not too far off from the estimated expenses.

Even with the 200 million Dongcheng Dollars in his account, they're barely enough for him to support the Tianhe Special Squadron. This explains how enormous is the military expenditures to a country in the long run.

"Heh… Didn't you already have something in your grasp? If not, what makes you here confidently to talk about favor with me? From what I heard, you've been pocketing millions from trading with the WIFE-Coin alone. I'm sure you have your way to accomplish my request." said the elder.

From his words, it seems that the elder knew about Zhang Qin Feng proposing to Wang Yufei long before they're coming here. What he was doing right now is to get Zhang Qin Feng to do something for him.

"Furthermore…" the elder seems to have something else in his arsenal yet to be taken out. The curiosity made Zhang Qin Feng nervous as he was too inexperienced in front of this elder.

"From what Lao-Hu tells me, your background was not as simple as it seems. I know that you have your own collection of arsenals and crazy insight. He's given you a set of medicinal supplements, correct?"

"Did you went ahead and researched them with your covertly hidden team to come up with something that can be used privately? If in that case, why not take them out and test them on the member of Tianhe?"

"You can offer them as a dowry for Fei-Fei. As a man with military achievements, I prefer to see more things I like instead of useless jewelry as gifts. I'm sure you know what I was talking about, huh?" the elder smiled.

[Toot…]

"Junior agrees. Let's make this as Fei-Fei's wedding dowry." Zhang Qin Feng shook the elder's hand. He had no idea that he would be pulled into something like this just for the sake of having Wang Yufei's hand in his marriage.
