Chapter 120 – The Bald Captain
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A few clansmen gathered together and spoke as they looked at Jiang Zhan’s sister, Jiang Xiaoyu, from afar.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Zhan were the descendants of the Sixth Elder’s most beloved wife. Not only was this wife beautiful, but she also died in order to save the Sixth Elder.
As a result, the Sixth Elder favored Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Zhan and took very good care of them.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Zhan were also very capable. They had extraordinary talent and were highly valued. The two siblings were very close to each other and were very estranged from other siblings.
Take Jiang Yun for example. He was not close to Jiang Zhan and his sister. It was said that their family members had internal conflicts back then, so they were not close to each other.
They had gone too far, and their gazes returned to Jiang Xiaoyu’s side.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu looked helplessly at her captain and said gloomily, “Captain Baldy, let’s go back. There’s no need to wait for my brother here.”
“That won’t do. That’s your brother. You have to take care of him no matter what. Besides, he will find out about us sooner or later.” Captain Baldy smiled and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with admiration.
“Sigh!”
Jiang Xiaoyu sighed. She did not want to let her family know about this so early. She wished to tell her family after Captain Baldy reached the Silver Rank. That would be more intimidating.
However, it was okay to say it at the moment. It was just that she was under more pressure, so she said it again.
“You better think it through. When the time comes, you can only marry into my family. After all, my family is a Summoner clan.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I don’t have any attachments. I don’t mind marrying into your family. As long as I have you, I’m willing to go anywhere,” Captain Baldy said seriously.
“Okay, then I’ll meet my brother. Oh right, although Jiang Yun is also my brother, he’s the 13th Madam’s child,” Jiang Xiaoyu said after thinking for a while.
“Alright, I know what to do. I will definitely only treat Younger Brother Jiang Zhan the best,” Captain Baldy promised.
“That’s good. Eh? They are here.”
Jiang Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Zhan and the others in the distance. She hurriedly waved her little hand to signal to Jiang Zhan.
“Younger Brother, come over quickly.”
“Sister!”
Jiang Zhan led everyone over with quick steps and greeted them warmly.
Both parties introduced each other, and Captain Baldy was even more enthusiastic. He asked everyone to address him as Captain Baldy, and he treated Jiang Zhan extremely well.
The little fatty and the others looked at the enthusiastic Captain Baldy. Then, they looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and the Bald Captain’s intimate appearance and vaguely understood something.
When they confirmed that Captain Baldy was only 22 years old and had already reached the Mid-Level Bronze Rank, the clansmen immediately looked at Jiang Zhan with envy.
It was because he reached the Mid-Level Bronze Rank at this age, there was a high chance that he would reach Silver Rank in the future and become a big shot.
Although he was at a Spiritual Warrior’s Silver Rank and not a Summoner’s Silver Rank, he still made people fear and respect him. Such a person could very likely become Jiang Zhan’s brother-in-law in the future.
Therefore, the clansmen looked at Jiang Zhan with a different gaze, and they became more respectful and fawned toward him.
When they arrived at the small city of the Blood Sea Stronghold, they belonged to the Bald Squad directly.
“Come, come, come. This is your dormitory. It’s two people per room. From now on, you will live here.”
Captain Baldy led everyone to the military camp and began to arrange for everyone.
This city was very small, and the dormitory was very narrow, making it crowded for two people and their Summoned Beasts to live in such a narrow dormitory.
Therefore, Jiang Zhan could not accept it and said, “The dormitory is so small. Do we really need to have two people in a room?
“They will have two people to live in one room. You must have your own room. Don’t worry, I’m here,” Captain Baldy said with a smile.
“Thank you, Captain Baldy. Sorry for the trouble.”
Jiang Zhan’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately felt happy in his heart.
The room was still small even if he stayed there alone, but it was still better than two people living in one room. Moreover, Jiang Zhan was very happy with the difference in treatment.
When the little fatty and the others heard this, they looked at Jiang Zhan with envy. They felt that it was good to have a relationship, as they took care of each other in every way.
“Can I also have a room for myself? My Two-Headed Ogre is huge. I really can’t share a room with others,” Jiang Yun walked out and said.
“There are no more dormitories. Besides, this is a military camp, not a home. The military camp has its rules. You must listen to orders, understand?” Captain Baldy said seriously.
“Okay.”
Jiang Yun felt very sullen after being reprimanded, but he could not say anything. He could only think about what to do.
“Okay, you guys rest today. Tomorrow, you will follow your teams and carry out basic missions. There is a mission hall and a detailed explanation of the battle merits exchange. I will arrange it then.”
After Captain Baldy finished speaking, he patted Jiang Zhan’s shoulder, turned around, and left in big strides.
Once Captain Baldy left, everyone gathered around Jiang Zhan and flattered him.
“Brother Jiang Zhan, I really envy you. You actually have your own dormitory. How nice.”
“Yeah, I think Captain Baldy seems to be interested in your sister. If your sister agrees, maybe Captain Baldy will marry into your family and become your brother-in-law.”
“Captain Baldy is at the Mid-Level Bronze Rank. At such a young age, his potential is extraordinary. He might even break through to Silver Rank in the future.”
“If he really breaks through to Silver Rank, that would be amazing.”
…
A few clansmen surrounded Jiang Zhan and discussed animatedly. They looked at him enviously, and their attitudes became even more obsequious.
When Jiang Zhan heard these words, he could not help but smile. In the Sixth Elder’s lineage, only the Sixth Elder himself was Silver Rank, and Jiang Zhan’s parents’ strengths were good enough.
This also caused this lineage to be somewhat lacking in strength. If there was an additional Silver Rank in the family, that would be amazing.
Therefore, Jiang Zhan was very happy and felt even more proud. Especially when he looked at the dormitory in front of him, Jiang Zhan was even happier.
“It’s good to have connections.”
Jiang Zhan was very pleased with himself. He looked at Jiang Yun and the Two-Headed Ogre with a condescending gaze.
It was as if Jiang Zhan felt that he was different and was standing in a higher position.
At this moment, Captain Baldy, who had just left hurriedly ran back, carrying two blankets from afar.
“Jiang Zhan, look, Captain Baldy seems like he’s going to give you two new blankets. How nice, ours are old and worn-out blankets.”
The little fatty took out a moldy blanket from the dormitory and looked at Jiang Zhan with some helplessness and envy.
“Haha, Captain Baldy is too good to me.” Jiang Zhan finally could not hold back his laughter and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
With this kind of mood, Jiang Zhan took a step forward and said to Captain Baldy who ran over.
“Captain Baldy, are you giving me the blankets? Actually, one is enough. There is no need for two.”
“No, it’s not for you.”
Captain Baldy immediately shook his head and looked at Jiang Yun who was not far away with a solemn expression.
“Ah? It’s not for me?” Jiang Zhan was stunned and the smile on his face froze.
“Yes, it’s not for you. Get out of the way. I have something important to do.”
Captain Baldy’s expression was very serious. He quickly walked in front of Jiang Yun and handed him two blankets.
“Jiang Yun, this is the blanket that the logistics officer gave you. One is for you and the other is for your Summoned Beast.”
“Right, there is a small bag of beef jerky in the blanket. It is said that ogres like meat the most. This beef jerky is a snack for your Summoned Beast..”
