DRAGON DIVISION [Dragon Division]
Chapter 55: Signing the Death Match

Xu Cheng replied, “I don't know.”

The conservative estimate was that the leader of the gang was at level B, but who knew if he would become a master among the masters. Before actually exchanging a few moves, Xu Cheng indeed did not have the confidence to defeat him.

After the director fell silent for a while, he said to Xu Cheng, “Now, the police force will give you two options. You can refuse to fight, and we will do everything we can to ensure you are safe from the North Gate or any other Gate.”

Xu Cheng replied, “But the North Gate will not disperse, right?”

Director nodded. "Yes. It is unfortunate that this is our only chance to disperse the North Gate without any casualties, but we will never force someone to do something they do not believe in. I've just called you this time to ask how confident you are in this fight. If not, then you can choose to refuse the match, and the police will protect you.”

“I can't refuse it. Everything has already happened, and I have to finish what I started,” Xu Cheng shook his head and said.

“But do you have confidence?” Director's looking.

Xu Cheng's eyes stared intently at the director and he replied, “I want to be a godly weapon, not his problem.”

The director smiled, then took out an envelope.

“This is a challenge invitation sent by the North Gate leader's men to our headquarters. At first, no one will answer. However, he was willing to risk his entire resources and was even willing to disperse the North Gate personally if he lost. City officials argue that this is worth trying, but you still have the right to make the final decision. Have you made your decision?”

Xu Cheng nodded. “Director, the leader of the North Gate really has the influence to disperse the North Gate completely?”

Director nodded. “This old man personally taught most of the great warriors and leaders in the North Gate, who later became a core member of the North Gate. No one had yet surpassed the leader of the Gate, and they were all his students, so he should have had some influence.”

"okay." Xu Cheng agreed. “I accept the invitation.”

The director handed the envelope to him on the table and said with a serious face, “If you've made your decision, sign it. But this is a death match, so I don't need to remind you what the consequences will be if you lose, right?”

Xu Cheng thought for three seconds, and he immediately took out a pen and signed the invitation of the challenge.

“Now, we still have to decide when the fight will take place. How long do you need to prepare it?” the director asked Xu Cheng.

He thought for a moment and replied, “Three days.”

"You sure?"

Xu Cheng nodded. It took him three days to make a good assessment of his body's maximum potential. That should have been enough time to familiarize himself with his abilities.

“Alright, then we will return the invitation of this challenge on behalf of the Shangcheng police to the people in the North Gate. For the next three days, you just need to focus on the exercises. I'll tell your bureau. In addition, if you need any training space or equipment, just let my assistant know outside, he will take care of it.”

Then, the director stood up, patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder, and said, “try your best. Your police bureau may be too small a place to be, but I can give the platform here at our Headquarters to you so you can do your job.”

Xu Cheng smiled, nodded, and saluted. "Yes sir!"

Then, he walked out of his office.

“Hey, Xu Cheng accepted the match. Now, give me a definite answer, can he defeat the leader of the North Gate or not? You know Xu Cheng well, I don't, ”director asked as soon as the call was connected.

On the other end of the phone, the military region instructor began to curse and replied, “You actually let him accept the fight? Old Liu, I told you to take good care of my students, but you instead pushed them into the hole!”

Director Liu smiled bitterly. “I was also forced.. City officials voted and everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to disperse the North Gate with the possibility of no casualties. I didn't force Xu Cheng, he himself agreed to it, and he had already signed it. Now, tell me, how likely is he to win?”

“Then, I dared to say 100%, but now..I don't mean to pour a bucket of cold water on your head, but.” Former instructor Xu Cheng sighed. “This boy really cannot behave, he made a fuss after coming out, did he really think he was still Xu Cheng from before?!”

“There is a problem with his current strength?” ask Director Liu.

"Big problem!" the instructor breathed. “Previously, its strength was rated A by national standards, but now it is down to C, only one level higher than ordinary people, who are in D. You think he can defeat the leader of the Gate?”

Director Liu's eyelids twitched.

“Hey, Old Liu, why don't you just help me? I left it with you because I felt guilty for her. To be honest, the people in the research lab said his strength would not recover. I couldn't just tell Xu Cheng those things, so I felt guilty and sent him to the rich big city, Shangcheng, hope he gets a decent job as compensation for his contribution to the army for many years. It has been less than a month, and you sent him to the death match?! Old Liu, if he doesn't make it out then I'll take my sword and come to chop off your face!”

Director Liu swallowed his saliva. “Gosh, so you lied to me! You told me you sent a godly weapon, yo you f* ck! And I even stood in front of the entire city council committee and promoted this plan to let Xu Cheng alone drop the North Gate. Now, I push myself into the hole as well.”

Instructor: “You deserve it! Huh~ Since Xu Cheng has already signed it, then we can only give up fate to decide it.”

At lunch during the day, Ran Jing heard someone break into the cafeteria and started a discussion, “Give everyone the latest news. Just now, Xu Cheng walked out of the director's office. He accepted the invitation!”

Ran Jing's eyes opened wide, he put down his chopsticks and immediately walked out of the cafe.

Xu Cheng had not even walked out of the building before Ran Jing caught up with him. “Do you feel life is so boring that you have to face death as bad as this?”

Xu Cheng asked half jokingly but half seriously, “How did you know?”

Ran Jing did not even know what to answer.

“To be honest, since my father died, the world feels like the end for me. I would have lost the desire to live long if it wasn't for me wanting to find answers.”

He took out a box of cigarettes and lit it. Leaning against the wall, he said, “I was raised by a single father, and my family and environment made me feel inferior and weak. Do you know why I joined the military?”

He then slowly continued, “Because I want to make myself stronger. I have to get stronger. So, in the military, I was a soldier who liked to push myself to his limits. I have never let down my instructor or colleagues before, and I hope my father who watches over me from heaven will be proud to have a son like me.”

Then, he turned around and looked at Ran Jing. “Maybe I can do wonders.”

This was not just for Ran Jing, but for himself as well. After the flawed serum was injected into his body and destroyed his future, who would have thought that it would give him another potential.

Ran Jing said nothing. Seeing the look of determination and persistence in the man's eyes, he knew there was nothing he could say that could convince him. As he looked into his eyes, he was sure that no one would be able to convince Xu Cheng. But at the same time, he seemed to be convinced by her instead.
