Chapter 174: Extraordinary Strength, Deeply Suppressed
Captain Tang had heard many rumors about Lu Kai and had read many reports about him in the newspapers, so he, like many naval officers, also had a yearning for Lu Kai.
Seeing that Lu Kai was actually more compassionate to his subordinates and the people than the rumors said, and was willing to protect ordinary people at the cost of serious injury himself, Captain Tang couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt towards Lu Kai.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, I'm sorry!" Captain Yan Bitang pulled out the pistol from his waist and was about to pull the trigger at his head.
But his pistol was grabbed by a hand and he could not pull the trigger.
"Captain, if you die, what will happen to your hometown?" Lu Kai advised in a very gentle voice, "Don't you want to save your hometown? Let's go there immediately and tell me where your hometown is."
"In Fengdao." Captain Tang hadn't reacted yet and answered mechanically.
"Everyone of you, listen to me." Lu Kai said to all the naval soldiers present.
"The duty of the Navy is to uphold justice, no matter where it is. As long as there is a place where we need to uphold justice, that is where our Navy must go."
After speaking a few words to Fu Ya and Xiao Long, Lu Kai put his left hand on Captain Tang's shoulder, and with a teleportation, the two of them disappeared from the spot and appeared in the air.
Lu Kai did not take the warship anymore. Time was of the essence now, so he took Captain Tang directly and flew through the space channel at an accelerated speed towards Fengdao.
Because Captain Tang had a permanent compass to Fengdao, Lu Kai was not afraid of going in the wrong direction.
Many of G1's marines were recruited in the New World, and many of their hometowns were not far from G1. Flying at ten times the speed of sound, Lu Kai and Captain Tang arrived at Fengdao Island ten minutes later.
At this moment, to the west of Toyoshima, pirates were attacking a small town. However, because this town had organized its own guards, and their strength was not weak, the pirates were unable to break through for a while.
Upon seeing this, Captain Tang rushed directly into the group of pirates and started a fierce battle, while Lu Kai did not move, but stood in front of the residents to monitor the situation just in case.
These pirates were not bad in strength, but none of them could survive a single blow from Captain Tang. Lu Kai was very surprised at Captain Tang's strength.
"System, use the scanning function!" Lu Kai ordered the system.

After the scan, Lu Kai was greatly surprised that a small captain actually possessed the strength of a newly promoted vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
But with such strength, he has been in the navy for five years and is still only a captain. This really makes Lu Kai feel unbelievable.
So while Lu Kai was protecting the civilians, he completely handed over the initiative of the war to Captain Tang, allowing him to vent his anger while also testing his actual combat capabilities.
As a result, it didn't take long before Captain Tang defeated all the pirates alone, and the pirate attacks in Tushan Town west of Fengdao came to an end.
Captain Tang received the news from the mayor a day ago.
The mayor told Captain Tang that they saw a pirate ship on the coast not far away. The pirates had just launched an attack on Tushan Town today, so Lu Kai and his team arrived in time.
Although the houses in Tushan Town were severely damaged, there were only a few casualties due to the protection of the town’s guards.
This is already the most ideal situation. Captain Tang's family members are all fine, so Captain Tang is full of gratitude to Lu Kai at this moment.
On the coast, Captain Tang and Lu Kai stood side by side.
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Lu Kai. I know I have committed an unforgivable crime. I am willing to go back with you and accept any punishment." Tang's wish had been fulfilled at this moment. The only thing left in his heart was guilt towards Lu Kai and the logistics soldiers he had kidnapped.
"Go back? Aren't you dead?" Lu Kai suddenly asked in confusion, "As far as I know, Captain Tang died in the pirate attack. I was the one who settled the pirate incident this time. What does it have to do with you?"
"How can it be okay, Lieutenant General Lu Kai, I..." Captain Tang was about to explain, but was suddenly stunned.
Captain Tang's eyes were moistened instantly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Finally, he bowed deeply to Lu Kai with tears in his eyes, and choked up and said: "Lieutenant General Lu Kai, you are my greatest benefactor in this life!"
"Grown man, stop dithering." When Lu Kai heard what Tang Lilai said, he quickly waved his hand to stop him.
At the same time, Lu Kai also asked in confusion: "When you were fighting just now, I was watching you from the side. You are very strong, not weaker than Stanwei, so I am very curious, why is your rank only a captain?"
"It's all because of that bastard Stanway!" Tang Lilaid was furious when he thought of Stanway. "I have been learning Toyoshima martial arts since I was a child, and I became a well-known martial arts master at the age of 20.
“After I joined the Navy, I showed my strength right after I entered G1, but that bastard Stanway was jealous of my talent and kept suppressing me.
"Later, I contradicted him over a small matter, and he held a grudge against me even more. So no matter how great my military achievements were or how many pirates I defeated, he would never report my achievements to him.
"Finally, a major general who was at odds with Stanway couldn't stand it anymore and promoted me to the position of captain despite the bastard's objections."
"Don't worry, this guy will probably spend the rest of his life in Impel Prison." Lu Kai comforted Don Lilaide when he saw his indignant look.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, you...you don't have to do this for me." If Tang Lilai was grateful to Lu Kai at the beginning, he felt uneasy at this moment.
How could he, a criminal, deserve such a thing from Lieutenant General Lu Kai?
"Captain Tang, are you having too much inner drama? What does this have to do with you?" Lu Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes at Tang Lilaid, feeling speechless.
"Do you think that the only thing Stanway did was to suppress you? In the past twenty years or so, he has done many things that are outrageous to both humans and gods.
"You're so aggrieved that you won't even be able to get a number in the queue. If there's a scum like this in the navy, I won't let him go."
