chapter 1765 team chalice
tang shaoyang recognized the leader of callisto, atilla, and one of her friends. they picked him up for the first meeting with the executive administrator. three more people followed behind.
next to atilla was a man with blond hair followed by eight people. they were the two teams that would join the special mission.
atilla smiled widely at the sight of tang shaoyang, "i told you we will meet again for the same mission."
while atilla looked happy, it was not the same for blondy. he had a frown at the sight of tang shaoyang. his eyes then scanned the reds' member as his frown deepened.
he then turned toward atilla and said, "are we going to babysit them?"
the blondy might try to provoke tang shaoyang with his words. but that was not enough to provoke tang shaoyang.
"if you don't like it, you can back down. it's actually better if there are less people."
their goal was to kill one million void creatures for the maximum reward. if more people joined, he was afraid that he might not be able to achieve that.
"what did you say!?"
the blondy turned toward tang shaoyang, getting provoked instead.
"i don't know that a god rank like you has such a low sense. how can you not hear me? you can leave if you don't like it. having fewer people for the competition is better."
tang shaoyang glanced briefly and looked straight into michael's eyes, "i don't know you, and i don't care who you are. if you want to join the mission, then keep your mouth shut while near me or i will request to be replaced..."
he suddenly paused as he thought of something. just like how michael did not want him in the mission, he also did not want chalice in the mission. he did not want to share the kill with chalice.
"can you remove this team from the mission, blue cloud? for the mission, i think it's better if this team doesn't join the mission. as you can see, we are not compatible working together. i am afraid that we will end up fighting each other during the mission."
michael's anger turned into a shock, not expecting tang shaoyang to bring this up to blue cloud. the shock turned into a smile. he thought blue cloud would take his side and kick tang shaoyang's team instead.
chalice was one of the top administrator teams, after all. they were more befitting to take the mission than a newbie team. however, to his surprise, blue cloud took tang shaoyang's side.
[i will convey your concern to sir cloud and executive administrators.]
meanwhile, ira kept looking back and forth between tang shaoyang and michael. she let out a frustrated sigh. her captain could ignore michael and leave for the mission. it was best to avoid conflict with a high-profile team. but it seemed his captain had a talent for making enemies instead of making friends. it was not that she did not understand why her captain did so. michael was in disbelief, looking up at the ceiling. his gaze was meant for the blue cloud, adam's replacement. he realized that he made the wrong move. it was no longer adam, but a new smart ai. if it was adam, it would side with him for sure.
[sir cloud and the executive administrators agree to remove the chalice team if the chalice team doesn't want to cooperate with the reds. will chalice cooperate with the reds, sir michael? or does chalice wish to back down from the mission?]
michael gritted his teeth. the sound of him grinding his teeth resounded in the room, holding back his anger. he confirmed what atilla said that the mission was specifically for the reds. it was still hard to believe how the executive administrator valued the reds more than his team.
"you do your things, and i will do my own things. we don't interfere with each other. just like how you don't like to hear me, i also don't want to hear anything from you. this is the cooperation if you want to join the mission."
from tang shaoyang's perspective, these two teams were meant to watch him, not assist him. especially if the executive administrator thought that he was part of the void cult. having them out of the mission was almost impossible unless this blondy fell to his provocation.
michael's chest heaved up and down. no administrator dared to treat him like this, not even the executive administrator. someone higher in rank than him treated him better than the newbie in front of him.
