He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 457. Captain Darkhaven 1

[Private Kaelin Darkhaven,

You are to return to Base 322 immediately.

HQ Command]

Kailen stared at the message and sighed.

"Finally."

***

A spaceship finally landed.

Kailen sent his spaceship into his storage ring. His eyes scanned his environs for a moment. The place was as lively as ever. Operatives were moving around, going about their business.

"Just the way it was when I left, huh."

Kailen proceeded towards Major Seth’s office.

"Is that Kailen Darkhaven?"

"Where the hell has this guy been?"

"He was probably on a mission."

"I guess you are right."

Several eyes landed on him. Many were looking at him with curious expressions. This guy disappeared right after killing Myestro and contributing greatly to the destruction of the Xin Li training hall. It was as if he had become a ghost. Now that he had returned, several operatives were wondering where he had been.

Calmly, Kailen made his way towards Major Seth’s building complex.

Meanwhile, in Major Seth’s office.

"Operative Darkhaven... this kid..." He sighed. "To think I initially thought he wouldn’t survive.

The Colonel is really a man of experience and foresight.

Not only did this operative thin the zone, he targeted exact targets that had contributed greatly to the expansion of chaos to regions out of x77 and made them disappear. In addition to that, he made the right judgement and left organisations that maintained chaotic balance at bay. Let’s see what the Colonel will say to him when he arrives."

Meanwhile, in a large conference room, three Colonels were gathered together. They were in charge of HQ Base 322.

"We have all seen what happened in chaotic zone x77 since operative Darkhaven was sent there, right?" Boro Darkhaven spoke.

"There’s no actual proof that he’s the one behind the sudden disappearances of fifteen organisations in the chaotic zone," Colonel Floyd Harker, a Colonel from the Harker family who clearly harbored hatred for Kailen Darkhaven because he destroyed the Harker Clan, voiced.

"If he has a way to prove that he was the one behind the disappearances of these organisations, then we will all agree to the fact that he’s eligible to be promoted to the captain level," the remaining Colonel, Angelo Rana, a former honorary elder of the Arcane Empowerment Sect, said.

Boro Darkhaven merely smiled, confident. His expression caused a slight sense of unease to nudge his two colleagues. Why was he so confident? Did he think Kailen Darkhaven had something to do with the disappearances of the organisations in the chaotic zone?

They brushed it off.

The chaotic zone was a place where troublesome factions appeared and disappeared overnight, and their fast disappearances, although abnormal, had nothing to do with private Darkhaven.

In their opinion, Boro was blinded by his familial relations to the young man—he was overestimating the kid’s abilities.

’Even if he’s a rank 1 Black Flask, fifteen organisations in six months cannot be his doing,’ Angelo sent a thought transmission to Floyd.

’You are right,’ Floyd said, sending a thought transmission back to Angelo. ’It’s simply impossible. Although we cannot do anything to the kid because of his backing and military laws, we can at least punish him by delaying his rise in ranks for what he did to the Harker Clan and the Arcane Empowerment Sect. If he cannot prove he thinned the zone, then he was sent there in vain.’

Angelo nodded. ’Mmm.’

Boro observed the duo and sighed. These two guys were really idiots. They had really underestimated this kid.

They probably thought he was being overly emotional due to his familial bond with the kid and that he was overestimating the kid’s abilities.

Heh... it was funny how Colonels of their caliber could be so narrow-minded.

Also, they should blame the sect and the Harkers for offending his grandnephew, instead of trying to impede the rise of the kid through the ranks as a means of getting back at him. As a matter of fact, his grandnephew even destroyed the Darkhaven Clan, but even he, Boro, saw things from a pragmatic standpoint, not just because he was saddened by the death of his brother, Kailen’s grandfather and nephew, and relieved that his grandnephew took revenge.

Why were these two bastards such airheads?

As the room settled into silence, Boro suddenly chuckled—one that made the duo intrigued and feel like something was off.

"You guys wanted proof, right?" Boro scoffed.

Suddenly, they saw video feeds transferred to them. Quickly, they watched everything, expressions ranging from shock to puzzlement revealing themselves in their eyes.

"How is this possible?" Angelo sighed deeply.

"The kid’s mission report is enough proof that he took down those fifteen organisations. He’s remarkable. With this proof, he’s qualified, and there’s no need to think he’s underqualified for a promotion. I underestimated his abilities," Floyd said in resignation.

He may have held resentment for the young man for eradicating the Harker family, but now that the mission report of Kailen Darkhaven was finally sent with videos, extremely detailed with proof of his actions in the chaotic zone x77, his hands were tied. There was nothing he could do to obstruct the young man’s advancement in rank.

"Forget it," Angelo sighed once more. He didn’t like what he was saying as it left a bitter taste in his mouth. But his hands were tied.

"I admit that the kid is remarkable, and has earned enough merits, and a proven track record for a promotion."

Boro scorned them inwardly. "Bastards, even in defeat, they do not want to admit that they are acting like fuckers because of their hatred for Kailen. I like the stupid looks on their faces, though."

He said, expression professional, "Well, fellow Colonels, it looks like we’ve all come to a consensus. Then, Kailen Darkhaven will be promoted to the rank of Captain effective immediately. As his situation is special, to avoid any recruit thinking the military is favoring him, and not rewarding him for earned accomplishments, his accomplishments , from x69, chaotic zone x77 and x22-B will be briefly disclosed effective immediately. Any issues?"

"No, fellow Colonel."

"I agree."

The duo spoke with resignation, their expressions ones that Boro enjoyed looking at.

"Then, let’s move the meeting to a close."
