Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

Page 36

Qin Song looked Jessica up and down. "Is this how you ask for favors?"

"What do you want?"

"Dawn Hall".

"Don't even think about it!" Jessica almost jumped up.

The last breeding mission really took a toll on her; even now, her legs still tremble when she thinks about it.

"Then there's no way."

Jessica bit her lip, gently stroked her belly, and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret, I'm pregnant. Aren't you afraid of miscarrying if we go to the Dawn Hall..."

Qin Song also lowered his voice and said, "Aren't there other positions? See you at my dorm at nine tonight."

Jessica rolled her eyes at him. "Fine, I'll go!"

Qin Song smiled and waved, "Bring out a heavy-duty 3D machine and give it to Manager Jessica to take away."

Jessica then left, satisfied.

4068 came running over excitedly, rubbing his hands together with a hopeful look on his face, and said, "Captain, can I drive a heavy 3D vehicle?"

Ever since he last drove a heavy-duty vehicle, he has been longing for that feeling.

That's what a man's dream is.

Qin Song said, "If you want to own one, then work hard. I will allocate it to whoever contributes the most. First come, first served."

There are still many in the system space, but they can be used to incentivize the special forces to provide him with code.

Yes, wearing heavy armor will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of moving corpses.

"Special forces soldiers are a bunch of despicable mortals. Elder Qin intercepted the supplies. Is this an act of empathy?" A mocking voice came from behind.

Qin Song didn't need to turn around to know it was that woman, Fandi.

4068 glared angrily at Vatican.

"If it weren't for our special forces team, would Lighthouse have achieved such a great harvest?"

Vatican raised an eyebrow. "You lowly, filthy thing, when did you ever have the right to speak here?"

The other members of the special forces team immediately gripped their weapons.

The priests who followed also drew their weapons.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

A priest waved his hand to his nose. "Ever since the Dust People became members of the Special Forces, even the supplies have smelled like excrement."

The special forces members' faces turned cold. Before they could act, Qin Song lightly stomped his scepter on the ground.

The priest flew backward like a cannonball, crashed into the wall, groaned, and passed out.

"I, an elder, haven't been to the law institute in a long time, and now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a law priest? Are you questioning the Holy Light's arrangements?"

When the other priests saw Qin Song's calm gaze sweep over them, they instinctively took a few steps back and lowered their heads.

Vatican's expression remained unchanged. "Elder Qin is so eager to protect trash, could it be that he harbors resentment towards the Three Great Laws?"

Qin Song laughed and said, "Since you think they're trash, why don't I apply to the Guild Leader to let you take their place on the next gathering mission? Otherwise, how can you demonstrate your loyalty to the Lord of Light and Shadow?"

Fanti snorted coldly. She knew her own limitations. Although she was not weak in close combat, she would definitely die if she really went to fight the Devouring Beast to the death.

"I'm here to inform you of the court meeting. Let's go!"

"You dare disobey orders?"

"Heh, I brought back so many supplies, so the Lighthouse should have rewarded me, but all I saw was Lord Lightbringer leading a group to interrogate me. Is this how the Lighthouse treats its meritorious citizens? Or is this your personal behavior? Does the Chief know about this?"

“You…” Vatican gritted his teeth.

This bastard won't be happy unless he gets ahead of her, right?

She took a deep breath and forced an awkward smile. "Elder Qin, the Chief has invited you to the court meeting and hopes you will attend on time."

Qin Song nodded slightly: "That's more like it, stop wearing that sour face all the time!"

Fanti was furious and turned to walk away.

"This data collection mission is the most fruitful one in recent years, and the biggest contributor is Elder Qin Song of the Law Institute, which fully demonstrates the capabilities of the Light and Shadow Society," Charles said with a light laugh.

"Here I must mention the city defense army. Recently, there have been several riots by the dust people in the lighthouse. The city defense army controls the most resources in the lighthouse, but it has not played its due role."

“I have serious doubts about General Victor’s command ability, so I propose that Elder Qin should take on more of the city defense army’s work.”

Viktor's expression turned somewhat grim. Was this an attempt to seize his power?

"Charles, don't forget that Qin Song is also a staff officer in my city's defense forces!"

Charles scoffed, "As far as I know, after Elder Qin took on the role of staff officer, he not only failed to gain the support of the city's defense forces, but was also repeatedly ostracized. Isn't this a case of someone deliberately sabotaging him? It's quite suspicious!"

Viktor's face darkened. That position was merely a nominal one; how could he possibly delegate power to the other party?

But Qin Song was standing right next to him at that moment, and had made a great contribution, so he naturally couldn't say it outright.

"Alright!" Morgan, seated in the main seat, finally spoke.

He was well aware of his son's ulterior motives, but since Victor was one of his own, he couldn't let him down.

"Qin Song has made a tremendous contribution to the Lighthouse and deserves to be rewarded. Qin Song, what reward do you want?"

Qin Song humbly replied, "This is all arranged by the Holy Light; I dare not take credit for it."

He had no desire to fight with these people; as long as he kept getting stronger, what couldn't he have?

Morgan nodded slightly. "From now on, Qin Song's status will be raised by one level, his benefits will be increased accordingly, and he will be allowed to attend court meetings."

Charles smiled smugly.

He is one step closer to taking control of the lighthouse.

"By the way, how's Mark?"

Carrie stepped forward and said, "It's just some internal injuries; I'll recover in a few days."

Morgan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Make sure he gets better. The Lighthouse will need him to steer it in the future."

Charles's smile froze abruptly, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

It seems that this old codger is determined to pass the position of city lord to Mark.

Chapter 47 Freeloaders, they're so despicable!

Morgan ignored his son's emotions and said calmly, "Nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting..."

Half an hour later, in the chairman's office.

Charles held up his wine glass, staring at Qin Song with a cold expression.

Qin Song remained calm; it seemed the blond-haired guy knew he had saved Mark.

Charles smashed the wine glass to the ground, scattering the bright red liquid and shards of glass everywhere.

"Why didn't you kill him?!"

Qin Song calmly took out a tablet computer. "Chief, you should watch this video first."

Charles took the computer and clicked play. His expression immediately changed, and he stared intently at Qin Song. "Who are they?"

"Ground survivors," Qin Song slowly uttered.

He didn't intend to hide it; he figured he'd find out sooner or later anyway.

Charles took a deep breath and said coldly, "Even if there are survivors on the ground, what does it have to do with whether you kill Mark or not?"

Qin Song said seriously, "Their goal is to save Mark, and I am no match for them. According to them, that white-haired woman had a connection with the lighthouse decades ago."

“If I kill Mark and they send the message back to the Lighthouse, people will definitely think it was the order from the Chief.”

"The head of the council wouldn't want to be questioned by the city lord and the people of the beacon, would he?"

Charles suddenly snapped out of his daze. "Wait! You're saying this young woman has lived for decades?"

Qin Song nodded. "In the old world, there was something called Angel Potion, which could make people live forever. The Lighthouse's top-secret files must have some record of it. If the city lord doesn't believe me, he can go and check it out."

Charles's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

If he could get his hands on this, wouldn't he be able to lead the lighthouse back to the surface?

At that point, Morgan and Mark will be nothing compared to his achievements!

"Vanti, go and bring me the top-secret files from the archives!"

Vatican accepted the order and left.

Half an hour later, Vatican handed over a tablet computer with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Charles watched for a moment, then swallowed hard.

What kind of monster is this white-haired woman? She single-handedly slaughtered the first generation of hunters, Victor lost an arm, and even her own father was almost killed.

"Besides you and Fan Lu, is there anyone else who knows about the existence of those people?"

"No, Mark was already unconscious at the time."

Charles narrowed his eyes slightly. "Could you get in touch with them?"

Qin Song immediately understood what the little blond guy was planning; he definitely wanted to join forces with Bai Yuekui.

Unfortunately, Bai Yuekui had a grudge against the Morgan family, or rather, against Morgan's teacher, Gray.

Grey used brain transplant technology to take over her brother Bai Yuetian's body.

Speaking of which, Charles is biologically related to Bai Yuekui, so he should call her his great-aunt.

"They didn't give me any contact information."

Charles paced back and forth.

If we can join forces with that woman, not only is it possible to become the city lord, but we might even be able to return to the surface world.

As for the other party's feud with Morgan, what does it have to do with Charles?

Thinking of this, Charles said, "Next time we go on a mission, we must get in touch with them."

“Furthermore,” a glint of malice flashed in Charles’s eyes, “Mark must also be eliminated…”

After Qin Song left, Fanti asked, "Chief, could it be that Qin Song had ulterior motives for not killing Mark?"

In her opinion, if Qin Song really wanted to kill Mark, he could have simply abandoned Mark during the rescue and then lied that they had encountered the Devouring Beast.

Even if the survivors on the ground send the message back, the leader will have already taken the position of city lord.

Charles gave a cold laugh: "Of course I know what he's thinking, but he's still useful now."

"If he's smart, I might consider sparing his life once I take control of the lighthouse!"

"Did you get the medicine I asked you to find?"

Vatican immediately handed over a vial of blue potion.

Charles's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Morgan, Morgan, since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!"

Jessica stood in front of the bed with her arms crossed, looking down at Qin Song. "Speak, what do you want?"

Qin Song tossed a small booklet over.

Jessica opened it and immediately spat, "Shameless!"

Qin Song nodded in satisfaction, "Clever, but toothless!"

"I'm not interested in men!"

"I know."
