Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 397: The So-Called a Bit of Gain

– M Nation, 5th Division –

Satan (Little Joker) just finished an operation and was laying on the bed with an IV drip attached to his arm. The Minister of Defence sent away all the medical staff before he pulled the curtains over the window and sat by his bed. He didn’t sound very friendly, “I heard your mission failed.”

Satan raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said, “You should really ask about our injuries instead.”

The minister: “Sorry, I only care about the mission I gave you guys, the one where you were to steal their information. Where’s the information?”

Satan: “Our intelligence on them was wrong, so the mission failed. We didn’t get the information you wanted, we didn’t even get into their base, not to mention retrieving anything, before we were stopped by the Dragon Division.”

The minister grimaced. “What did you tell me before the operation? You said the Dragon Division right now is like a plate of scattered sand with no leader, but what now? Four members of the Demon Legion died! I can understand casualties for such an important mission, but you didn’t get anything! How am I supposed to answer the Grey Palace?”

Satan didn’t say anything. He was just laying on the bed with his eyes closed as if he didn’t want to bother with this brat who was a lot younger but acted all high and mighty.

“Are you listening to what I’m saying? Huaxia’s industry and economy are developing too fast right now, so fast that it’s a bit unbelievable. Their military power has also reached a certain scale and reserves, so we need to thoroughly understand their technical reserves and strategies. However, you guys didn’t get a single thing this time, even worse than ordinary spies!”

Satan suddenly opened his eyes and sneered, “Then you can get your Central Intelligence spies to go to Yanjing and give it a try. I guarantee that they will be taken away by the police right after they get off their flight. Don’t compare us with those useless pieces of garbage, you think Huaxia’s that simple? Don’t forget, you guys are asking me to do this as a favor, and over the years, I’ve raised many elites and helped you guys beautifully execute so many missions. We have a win-win relationship going on, and you shouldn’t come here and interrogate me like this because of just one mission failure due to an intelligence error! I was from the Dragon Division, so you guys shouldn’t underestimate the power of the Dragon Division! Besides, this time, along with the death of the first-generation Dragon King, I didn’t know they would be able to find a new Dragon King so quickly, and his power isn’t low too.”

The minister stood up with his hands on his hips, and he didn’t know how to vent his anger. Looking at Satan on the bed, he finally let out a sigh and said to him, “But this time, the Grey Palace had high hopes on your mission.”
Satan was too lazy to bother with him. He directly closed his eyes and said, “I’m tired. If you want to know what happened, just go ask the other demons. They were your brainwashed agents, so they are completely loyal to you and won’t hide anything. No matter what I say is absurd now, you can just go and directly ask the other three.”

Then, Satan stopped talking and pretended to be asleep.

The Minister of Defense stepped out and yanked his tie. The other senior officials greeted him and asked, “What’s going on? Did he get the information and hide it or did the mission really fail? Didn’t they say the Dragon King is dead? Then how come we still lost four this time? Our loss is a bit big this time!”

“Stop chattering, let’s go ask our own people.”

The minister of defense directly walked to the side corridor of the hospital where three people were sitting. If they didn’t wear their masks, no one would recognize that they were the three demons that survived.

Seeing the minister coming over, they stood up and saluted

“That old man didn’t set you guys up? The mission really failed because you guys ran into a master?”

They nodded and said solemnly, “The intel we got is wrong. The Dragon King indeed died half a month ago, and from the original list of members, the Dragon Division really didn’t have a qualified master to take over the position. But who knew a new Dragon King would just appear out of nowhere.”

“How is he? Is he strong?” the other senior officials immediately asked.

The three of them all nodded. “Although we didn’t fight him, that guy’s power is enough to match Boss. Our other four comrades ran into him, and three of them were killed by him with one move within a split second! I even saw him throw a card to cut through Mammon’s throat and take his life! Boss might be a match for him, but we definitely aren’t! I think this guy’s probably at least SSS class!”

The officials all looked at each other. “That’s impossible, for the top five grandmasters on the Sky Ranking of the underground world, besides the deceased Dragon King, Satan, the Pope, the King of the South African Mercenaries, and the retired British Fencing Duke, who else is SSS class? Over the years, the Sky Ranking didn’t update at all as to who broke past the SSS rank.”
The three demons shook their heads. “We aren’t too sure too. All in all, this guy’s really powerful, and at certain instances, the aura he was exuding felt even more powerful than Boss’s!”

The minister sunk into silence. Then, he asked, “Do we have information on this guy?”

The three of them shook their heads again. “When retreating, Belphegor went over to try and pull off his mask, but we don’t know if he succeeded or not.”
“Where’s Belphegor?”

The three of them lowered their heads. “Dead. We left Huaxia as soon as we could, and our doctors couldn’t successfully rescue him before he succumbed to his wounds! That new Dragon King originally wanted to shoot Satan with a sniper rifle, and we didn’t realize that he could be so accurate. Belphegor noticed it at the last second and blocked for Satan, and the bullet went right through his chest!”

“He is definitely a pro marksman. With those skills, even if he’s not SSS-class, he would be at least SS-class, and I think only a few mercenary group leaders in the South Africa region have this level of capabilities. But, those guys are so prideful that they definitely wouldn’t join Huaxia. So, this guy’s identity is still a mystery, not even Satan knows who he is.”

The other high-level officials asked, “Then did you confirm the location we hit is the underground research base of Dragon Division?”
The three of them nodded. “Very likely, because it was important enough for the Dragon Division to reveal themselves and defend even with their Dragon King. But, we likely frightened them now, and I’m afraid that they will relocate. This time, I think we really suffered a double loss.”

The minister loudly cursed, “Facking dogs–t! This time, we basically revealed the strength of our 5th Division soldiers to Huaxia, and we didn’t get anything in return. Your operation also exposed the technology we have, and not only did you guys not manage to gain anything from it, you also wasted all the effort we spent on trying to locate their military research base! Fack!”

The three demons said, “Sir, in fact, we actually didn’t have no gain at all. We found that right now, only that Dragon King character is very scary, but if he dies, the other Sky Kings and the rest are all garbage! They don’t stand a chance against us at all! This is a big gain too.”

The minister immediately scolded right back with saliva spraying everywhere, “You want me to tell the president about this gain?? Tell him that, hey, the Dragon Division is just a bunch of garbage, but we still lost four out of the seven elites that we sent, and even Satan was heavily injured?”

The three demons all squeezed out a bitter smile.
