[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

The main problem is that you're in such a sorry state right now, how do you have anything to do with the Queen?

"Kornig, your way of praising people is quite unique."

You respond with a smile, then make a request: "Could you please get me some water? I'd like a drink, and the tiger must be thirsty too."

It's not that you deliberately ordered him to do it, it's just that the tiger follows you wherever you go now, and no one else dares to get close to you, so you haven't had a chance to treat your wounds yet.

You haven't drunk water for a long time, so now that you're idle, you're feeling thirsty.

Moreover, the tiger had just eaten and hadn't drunk any water, so the blood in its stomach would make it even more thirsty.

Now only Koenig is willing to approach you, so you can only ask him to get you some water.

Koenig nodded, then stood up.

"wait for me."

After saying that, he turned and left, and returned a short while later carrying two suitcases.

One was a medical kit, and the other was a box that originally contained bullets.

Koenig placed the ammunition box in front of the tiger; it was mostly filled with water.

Upon seeing the water, the tiger immediately approached the box, stuck out its tongue, and began to drink.

Then, Koenig put down the medical kit, took out a bottle of water, twisted off the cap, and handed it to you.

You took the water, quickly drank two sips, and then pointed to the first-aid kit and asked him:

Are you going to treat my wound?

He nodded, and then, as if afraid you would think he was rude, he quickly spoke up to defend himself.

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful."

You nodded: "I believe you, then thank you for your hard work."

It's already great that someone is helping you, so why would you be picky about others?

Having received permission and trust, Koenig immediately and quickly opened the medical kit and took out a pair of scissors.

He held small stainless steel scissors in his large hands, but his movements were very careful as he cut the fabric around the wound on your arm.

The cleaning, disinfection, and bandaging were completed slowly but methodically. They even treated the small wounds on your face and applied medicine.

Watching his incredibly skillful movements, you exclaimed in admiration:

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Did you choose medical as your secondary role before?"

Although every soldier knows basic wound care, they don't do it very meticulously.

Koenig is someone who handles things quite meticulously, which is why you have this question.

Koenig was bending over and organizing his medical kit, replying to you without even looking up.

"No, it's just a habit."

He didn't say why he had this habit.

Just as you were about to speak, several police officers walked towards you and spoke to you from a distance of a few meters.

“Ms. YN, it is indeed a tiger from a zoo. Her name is Katie, and she is a female tiger. We have already notified them to bring Katie’s keeper to pick her up.”

"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."

You thank them, then turn to look at the big tiger next to you, who is drinking its fill of water and licking its paws.

You laugh and scratch its head: "I never expected you to be a little sister."

With its ferocious appearance and robust physique, you'd think it was a fierce male tiger.

I never expected it to be such a strong tigress, she's so beautiful!

It's unclear whether Koenig's act of bringing water pleased Katie, but she began to accept Koenig's approach without reacting excessively when he reached out to touch her head.

"Wow, this feels amazing..."

Koenig exclaimed in admiration.

You look at him with a smile; he seems to really like furry things.

The two of you just kept teasing the tiger until a car with a zoo logo approached.

ch.100: I can't control you.

A rather muscular man jumped out of the car and shouted the tiger's name.

"Katie~"

His voice was loud yet affectionate, which didn't match his appearance at all.

But the tiger beside you suddenly stood up and ran towards the man without looking back.

"There's absolutely no sense of nostalgia."

Koenig hummed softly.

You helplessly shrug: "I'm already very grateful that it didn't eat me."

As for lingering feelings? Katie and her keeper have the closest relationship; you're just a temporary visitor, and you understand that perfectly well.

After Katie is locked in the large cage at the back of the car, you go over to say goodbye to her.

"Katie, bye-bye."

You didn't say goodbye because you knew the chances of seeing each other again were slim.

Katie, however, showed no sadness at the parting. She yawned widely, then rested her head on her paws, as if she were about to take a rest.

You shake your head and smile faintly, "Never mind, what does an animal know?"

As you watch the zoo's vehicle drive away, you immediately turn around to look for the ghost.

"Lieutenant, should I go and bring her body back?"

After you report the situation to the ghost, ask him questions.

It's not that you didn't want to bring back the woman's body in the first place, it's just that it's inconvenient to have a tiger with you. Besides, tigers eat their internal organs first, so even if you brought it back, it wouldn't be able to prove anything for you.

After a few seconds of silence, the ghost spoke with a hint of irritation:

"This is a bit troublesome."

You usually wear recording devices during combat, and the recording device captured footage of a pregnant woman, and now that she's dead, it's very troublesome.

You will be labeled as inhumane, and your squad's records will have an additional note defining you as violent and dangerous.

You suddenly remembered the things the woman had thrown away, so you quickly reported it:

"By the way, Lieutenant, that woman threw away her fake pregnancy belly when she ran away. If we can find the fake pregnancy belly, can we determine that she is not pregnant?"

The ghost nodded.

If the pregnant belly of a woman with a false pregnancy bears the fingerprints and DNA of the deceased, it can be confirmed that the items belong to the deceased, thus classifying the pregnancy as a false pregnancy.

Moreover, even without those things, he would have found a way to handle the matter.

Eventually, along the route you took when you were chasing the woman, you found the fake pregnant belly that the woman had discarded.

To avoid fingerprints, you had the officers wear gloves and put the pregnant belly in a bag.

And you can finally finish your mission and get on the bus to return home.

Everyone else got on the bus and left, but you were ordered by the ghost to stay until the end and ride in the same bus as them.

Yes, it was them.

You are in the same car as Ghost, Wang Zhiqiang, Koenig, and Gates.

This is one of the vans left behind by the target; you need to drive it to the police station.

Gates drove, Ghost and Koenig sat in the middle two seats, and you and Wang Zhiqiang sat in the back.

The car was quiet, and you didn't dare to speak casually because you could sense that the atmosphere was different from usual.

You're probably going to get a scolding.

Especially Wang Zhiqiang, compared to Koenig and Ghost, who both wore masks, his displeasure was clearly visible to you.

Although Wang Zhiqiang had a sour face, he was the first to lose his temper.

What did you promise me last time?

Feeling guilty, you replied, "I won't do dangerous things by myself again."

After your last injury, Wang Zhiqiang nagged you a lot, and you agreed to his request to put his mind at ease, since you didn't want to be in danger again.

Wang Zhiqiang turned his head to look at you, his eyes seemingly filled with unspeakable helplessness and resentment.

"Is your promise only valid for such a short period?"

You know he's talking about this matter, and you're truly suffering in silence!

In that emergency, you didn't expect that the woman was faking her pregnancy, and she was wearing nothing but a maternity dress.

You and Vita checked and found no weapons, but you never expected that she had a pistol hidden in her chest.

No, perhaps it wasn't hidden in the chest from the beginning. After all, even though you were doing a manual inspection, you shouldn't have been so careless as to not even be able to find a gun.

Unless she initially hid the gun inside her pregnant belly and only moved it to her chest when she fled and discarded her pregnant belly.

You quickly explained, "I thought she was pregnant and wouldn't pose any danger..."

"It doesn't pose any danger? Then how did you get your wounds?"

Wang Zhiqiang pointed at your arm, his brows furrowed.

You sighed, "I didn't expect this either. Besides, missions are never smooth sailing. Zimo, don't worry about it. This injury will heal quickly."

Your original intention was to reassure him, but it seems you used the wrong expression, which caused Wang Zhiqiang to suddenly become emotional and switch directly from English to Chinese.

“If I don’t care about you, who will? Right now, I’m the only one in this world who knows everything about you, and I’m the one you should rely on the most! If something happens to you, who will care about you? Your teammates? Yes, they will feel sorry and heartbroken, but who will remember you afterward? Who will miss you? You won’t even leave a name behind!”

Wang Zhiqiang's tone was sharp and forceful; this was the first time he had ever lost his temper with you.

"Zi Mo!"
