Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound, and a familiar figure came into view.

"Boss Connor, why are you back?"

Halson shouted with surprise.

"Oh? You don't want me to come back?" Connor asked Halson with a smile.

"No way, I hope you come back as soon as possible, so that no one will get together and exclude me."

As Halson spoke, he looked at Will and Snake proudly, like a primary school student who found a teacher to support him.

Will's face turned very ugly when he heard this. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Connor.

Snake picked up the tea cup and gestured to Connor gracefully, but the smile on his face looked particularly stiff.

"Okay, we'll talk about the gossip later. I'll report the mission status to Lord Mello first."

Connor ignored the two captains of the Yaojin faction, just nodded to Wise, and then strode to Mello's table.

He bowed slightly symbolically and said hello to Mello:
"Greetings to Lord Mello, I have completed the mission assigned by you, and now I am back to resume my duties."

Although Connor's salute was a bit perfunctory, Mello didn't seem to care and said cheerfully:

"How many times have I told you, there is no need to be polite in front of me, just sit down and speak slowly."

"As ordered!"

Connor also sat down next to Halson, and then reported the situation to Mello:
"The intelligence is correct. The Bloody Hands are indeed operating near Chiyan Island. I have completely eliminated them!"

Connor took out a pirate flag from his arms, stood up and placed it on Mello's desk.

Mero unfolded the flag casually and took a look at the conspicuous bloody hand pattern on it.

"I didn't expect Captain Connor to wipe out the Bloody Hand Pirates so quickly. He is indeed the most powerful captain of our escort team!"

Melo did not hesitate to praise him.

"Sir Mello is overrated. They are just petty thieves. They can be easily solved by just sending any squad leader."

Connor waved his hand and said, also hinting to Mello, don't think about sending him out with such a simple task all day long.

"Hey, you can't say that. If the famous Blood Hand Pirates are just petty thieves, then most pirates on the sea are not even as good as petty thieves. Captain Connor is still strong enough to easily defeat powerful enemies. I will Ask the council for a reward for you."

Mello seemed not to understand what Connor meant, and continued to praise him, and then changed the subject:
"Okay, let's put aside the matter of the Bloody Hand Pirates for now. I just heard you say that you want to take over these dozen Warcraft users. Is this true?"

Mello did not ask where Connor learned the news that he had just returned to Guanhai City.

Everyone has their own channels for information, not to mention that Connor is still the strongest squad leader. There will always be people who want to curry favor with him and secretly pass information to him.

Melo just wanted to quickly hand over the hot potatoes like Yuye Kuangdao. He was already having a headache when he saw that several squad captains were unwilling to take over, but he didn't expect that Connor would ask these people to leave as soon as he came back.

Okay, okay, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between him and Connor hadn't become increasingly estranged, and even a bit hostile to each other, he would have wanted to give Connor a big hug.

"Of course it's true. I must take such a potential Warcraft user under my command!"

Connor said decisively.

Hearing that Connor confirmed that he would take over these Warcraft users, not only did Mello's face show joy, but Snake and Will almost couldn't help laughing, and they all agreed with Connor:

"As I said just now, only Captain Connor can maximize the potential of these Warcraft users. It seems that Captain Connor has the same idea as me."

"That's right, with Captain Connor's ability, he can definitely train them to become the aces of the escort team!"

But not everyone was happy. Wise and Halson didn't feel any joy at all.

The former frowned as if he was thinking about something, while the latter was even more anxious and said to Connor eagerly:

"Boss Connor, don't be impulsive. There will be a team competition soon. You now"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Connor waving his hand.

Seeing that Connor had made up his mind, Halson had no choice but to shut his mouth angrily.

"Very good. Since Captain Connor has taken the initiative to take over these Warcraft Users, I will assign them to your team. Which team do you want them to join?"

Mello was afraid that Connor would regret it, so he quickly settled the matter.

"Let them join the first team."

Connor said calmly.

"What? How can this be done! I don't agree!"

Mello rejected Connor flatly.

Are you kidding me? The first team is the face of the escort team. Only the most powerful and best-performing guards have the chance to join the first team.

No matter how potential these Warcraft users are, they cannot join the first team.

If they become a drag on the first team and cause it to perform poorly in the competition, even the captain himself will have to bear the responsibility.

When Connor saw Mello's reaction, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly:

"Master Mello, don't you agree? Then forget it, let them join the 10th Team."

Seeing that Connor changed his mind so quickly, Mello understood in his heart that this guy never wanted these dozen Warcraft users to join the first team in the first place. He deliberately used the first team to give himself eye drops!

It seems that Connor is determined to go against him. He obviously belongs to the same faction, but he always makes trouble for him.

Melo also knew the root cause. Wasn't it because he didn't agree with his reforms?

The problem is that reform is never that simple. The Guardian is no longer what it was when it was first founded. It involves many interests.

Those pure guards have died at sea with the first captain, and most of those who remain in the guard are pursuing their own interests.

The reason why he was able to take over the position of captain was because he could balance the interests of all parties.

It took a lot of effort for him to establish a relationship of interest, and he also divided into three major factions, allowing them to fight and balance each other, so that he could control the situation and gain power.

As a result, Connor was quick to talk and wanted to use reforms to destroy the Guardian's interest network.

How is this reform? This is clearly forcing him to abdicate!
It's strange that Mello can agree to Connor's reforms.

He originally wanted to have a good exchange with Connor, after all, they belonged to the same faction.

With Connor's strength and reputation, becoming the next captain is a sure thing. Melo is not young anymore. If he can work for a few more years, he will step down and make way for someone better without Connerty.

When the time comes, Connor can reform however he wants, even if it destroys the Guards, it has nothing to do with him.

Who would have thought that Connor was not willing to wait even a few years and insisted on carrying out reforms now. He also said that it would be too late in a few years and that the newly rising nobles would not tolerate the existence of Guanhai City. This is simply laughable. Lose your teeth!
The nobles are now fighting in their dens, fighting fiercely. In order to gain the support of Guanhai City, they have lowered their arrogant heads. How can they pose a threat to Guanhai City.

In Mello's view, Connor just found any reason to launch reforms and force himself to abdicate.

Connor, on the other hand, believed that Mello had a corrupt mind and was not suitable to be the captain anymore.

The conversation between the two ended unhappily, and they became opposites from then on.

It's just that they all have the support of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce behind them, so they haven't broken up yet and maintained superficial harmony.

"Team 10, although it is the weakest team under your command, it is still enough to accommodate these Warcraft users."

Mello suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and nodded in agreement with Connor's decision.

Hum, I want to see how you deal with these hot potatoes.

If they were well trained, everyone would praise them as "As expected of Captain Connor".

If it is not cultivated, it will be difficult for the directors to explain, and there will also be doubts about Connor's strength.

Thinking of this, Mero's mood improved a lot.

He continued to chat with Connor for a few words and then ended the meeting.

All five squad leaders left the conference room. Before leaving, Snake did not forget to say to Connor hypocritically:

"Congratulations to Captain Connor. We have recruited so many talents. We will definitely shine in the next team competition."

Connor glanced at Snake, didn't bother to say a word to him, and left with Halson.

Snake's face immediately darkened when he saw this, and he snorted coldly and said:
"What's the air? Isn't it just because I have the first team in my hands? When the overall strength of my team surpasses yours, the first team will be in my hands sooner or later!"

"But as long as the first team is in his hands, our overall strength cannot exceed his, unless you can defeat Connor to gain the recognition of the first team."

Will said, shaking his head.

"Shut up, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!"

Snake glared at Will. He really didn't care about anything. If he could defeat Connor, he would have assigned him the first team. There is no need to be envious and jealous now.

Will also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject:

"Connor is also confused. He actually brought those Warcraft users under his command. In the next competition, his tenth team will definitely be pulled down by the team below, and his reputation will also be hit."

Snake's expression relaxed a lot after hearing this, and he sneered and said:

"He has always been proud, so it is normal for him to accept these Warcraft users. Let's just wait and see the show. When the time comes, let my twelfth team challenge him first, and your team will follow closely and strive to get his tenth team. The team has been drawn to fifteen people!"

Will nodded repeatedly: "No problem. Although the team can refuse the next challenge after accepting one challenge, Connor will not allow his team to be timid."

"If it weren't for the fact that a team can only accept three challenges at most during the competition period, and there must be a day of rest in between, I would have knocked down his tenth team with a wheel battle!"

Will studied the rules of the competition clearly and was waiting to see Connor defeated in the next competition.

Snake did not respond to Will, but turned to look at Connor's leaving back and murmured to himself:
"The strongest squad leader? How long can you carry this title?"

On the other side, Halson couldn't help but asked Connor:
"Boss Connor, I really don't understand why you want those Warcraft users to join Team 10."

"No need to ask, of course because they have potential."

Old God Connor replied calmly.

"They have potential, but"

Halfway through Halson's words, he heard Connor say:
"Okay, I have thought of all the issues you are worried about. It is nothing more than fear that the director will have a bad taste. The selected Warcraft user has no reputation, but is actually a waste. If he cannot be cultivated, he will offend the director."

"In addition, they will lower the team's strength, causing the team to suffer in the competition and its ranking will be significantly reduced."

When Halson heard what Connor said, he was even more puzzled. He continued to ask:
"Since you know everything, why do you take the initiative to take the trouble on yourself?"

"Is it troublesome? You all seem to have overlooked one thing, that is, these Warcraft users are really full of potential."

Connor looked towards the cafeteria and continued:
"I just observed them. Although I can't see their fighting qualities, their initial potential for monsters is not low, and they all have elf balls on their waists."

"Elf Ball? Are they from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce?"

Halson said in surprise.

Connor glanced at Halson helplessly: "What are you thinking? If they are really from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, how could Director Gavin let them easily join the guard."

"What's wrong with them? Yes, they are from Yinghuo Town."

Halson suddenly realized that others may not know where the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce's elf balls came from, but they, the team leaders, knew it very well.

"I still have some brains. I asked Director Gavin before I came here. According to him, the reason why these Warcraft users have elf balls is because Baron Ryan is also optimistic about their potential and wants to use elf balls to win them over."

"In the end, Baron Lane still underestimated the ambitions of these Warcraft users, which gave the two directors an opportunity to take advantage of. For this reason, our Chamber of Commerce has to pay some price to appease Baron Lane."

"It can be seen that these Warcraft users do have great potential, and there is no need to worry about not being able to cultivate them."

Connor explained that he always liked talents. Even if these Warcraft masters were ambitious and focused on interests, he didn't care. There were many people like them in the Guards.

As long as they have the potential to become strong, then these are not problems.

After hearing Connor's explanation, Halson's worries were reduced a lot. At least he no longer had to worry about Connor offending the directors.

He could sense the conflict between Connor and Captain Mello. Although he didn't know much about what was going on, he would still support Connor without thinking.

If Connor offended the two directors because of these monsters, it would undoubtedly be more gain than loss.

Fortunately, Connor was not impulsive, but agreed to accept them after fully understanding the potential of these Warcraft users.

However, Halson was still a little worried. He frowned and said:

"Even if they have potential, they will only become a drag on the team in a short period of time. Your tenth team will be dragged to death by them."

Connor nodded slightly: "You are right. With their current strength, they will only become a burden to Team 10."

"But what if they don't join Team 10?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Connor's lips. (End of chapter)
