She Will Never Reach My Height

Three minutes later.

Yan Huan and Arlan walked out side by side, followed by a group of researchers with their eyes wide open.

Every one of them was an elite from the Security Department who had handled battles both large and small.

Yet at that moment, the same question arose in all their minds.

"Who is this big shot?"

Walking beside Yan Huan, Arlan kept glancing at him, trying to find some trait that did not belong to a human.

"..." Yan Huan was puzzled.

"Is there something on my face?"

Clearly, Arlan's actions had not escaped Yan Huan's notice.

"Nothing." Arlan spoke quietly and adjusted the bandages in his hand.

The researchers behind them did not dare strike up a conversation with Yan Huan either.

This guy was far too ruthless!

When he had first entered, he had strangled a Trooper Trampler to death with his bare hands!

Trooper Trampers were exceptionally powerful individuals among the Antimatter Legion's Voidrangers.

The thing a researcher had struck with a huge hammer earlier, producing a metallic clang against its shell, had been one of those.

Strangling a Trooper Trampler to death with bare hands was not even the most outrageous part.

After that, the remaining four Trooper Trampers had charged at him.

The Security Department researchers had originally wanted to help.

But before those Trooper Trampers could even touch Yan Huan, they inexplicably fell apart, letting out agonized roars before dying.

According to Yan Huan himself, this was called "an overwhelming aura."

As long as one was strong enough, one could kill people invisibly through sheer presence alone.

Although the Security Department researchers did not understand it, they were deeply shaken.

What an overwhelming aura!

They had fought desperately for several hours with all sorts of weapons just to barely kill a few Trooper Trampers.

Yet this man had gone in and wiped out the remaining five Trooper Trampers in thirty seconds.

He had spent the other two and a half minutes regretting that his attack poses were not cool enough and deciding that he needed more practice.

"Your name is Yan Huan, right?" Arlan asked.

"Mm. You can also call me Captain. Trailblazer works too," Yan Huan replied.

Arlan: "..."

The compartment door slowly opened, and the young Security Department member and Wen Shiling outside immediately rejoiced.

"Ah, Captain Arlan and Mr. Yan Huan! You... you're already out?"

That was way too fast.

Xiao Ling had only just arrived.

All told, Mr. Yan Huan had only been inside for three minutes.

Could it be that Captain Arlan and the others had already dealt with most of it, and Mr. Yan had only gone in to retrieve them?

That did not seem right.

The young Security Department member scratched his head. He had experienced the brutality inside himself and had only been pushed out by Captain Arlan because his injuries were too severe.

The situation inside had not been optimistic.

Then there was only one possibility.

The young Security Department member stared blankly at Yan Huan, who happened to turn his gaze toward him.

"Hello."

Then Yan Huan's gaze shifted downward. "Why did you come in too?"

He was clearly asking Wen Shiling.

Wen Shiling said with an annoyed expression, "Why can't I come in? And Captain Arlan, Station Master Asta has been trying to contact you this whole time, but she couldn't reach you. She's practically worried sick."

At the mention of Asta's name, Arlan immediately shuddered.

"What? She contacted me?! Miss... uh, Station Master, what happened over there?!" Arlan asked anxiously. "My communicator was damaged, so I didn't receive the messages in time. I'm sorry."

The little girl immediately interrupted him.

"Alright, stop apologizing. It's fine as long as you're out. Hurry to the platform now. A terrifying Doomsday Beast has appeared there."

"A Doomsday Beast?!" Arlan's pupils suddenly contracted.

A Doomsday Beast was an extremely terrifying existence within the Antimatter Legion.

Compared to a Doomsday Beast, Trooper Trampers were nothing.

"I understand. I'll head over to provide support right now!"

Arlan was frantic. He abandoned the other Security Department members and rushed off alone.

The thought of Asta being in danger made it impossible for him to stay calm.

Everyone watched Arlan dash away with a whoosh, their faces filled with confusion.

To Captain Arlan, nothing mattered more than Station Master Asta's safety.

Yan Huan watched Arlan's retreating figure and could not help asking,

"Half his body is covered in blood. Shouldn't he apply some medicine first?"

"That's just how the captain is. You'll understand once you've spent more time with him, Mr. Yan Huan," the young Security Department member explained.

Yan Huan knew a little about Arlan. He was Asta's most loyal subordinate.

He had not expected Arlan to become this frantic the moment he heard that his young mistress was fighting a Doomsday Beast.

"Let's go provide support too," Yan Huan said.

The other Security Department researchers exchanged looks and nodded one after another.

Captain Arlan had already gone in. How could they possibly cower in the rear?

"Alright!" Wen Shiling took the lead, walking ahead of Yan Huan and the Security Department members to guide the way.

Yan Huan: "???"

"No, what is a child like you going over there for? Hurry home and do your homework. You should be preparing for middle school."

There were so many Security Department people here. Why would they need a little brat to lead the way?

"Huh?"

Hearing Yan Huan's words, Wen Shiling turned around in confusion.

"Middle school? Are you talking to me?"

Yan Huan: "Who else would I be talking to?"

At that moment, the heavily bandaged young Security Department member from earlier quietly moved closer and whispered to Yan Huan,

"Xiao Ling is an official researcher, and she's even Level Two, from the Department of Material Studies. You can't judge her by her appearance."

"What?" Yan Huan was dumbfounded.

An official researcher, from the Department of Material Studies, Level Two?

Well damn, she was actually a researcher.

When Yan Huan had been her age, he had still been playing in the mud.

Realizing that his wording had been inappropriate, Yan Huan immediately changed his tune.

"Ahem, so what if you don't need to prepare for middle school? Preparing for high school is important too..."

Cursing him as a fool under her breath, Wen Shiling ran toward the platform without looking back.

The young Security Department member said awkwardly, "Mr. Yan Huan, Xiao Ling is already an official researcher. She left compulsory education long ago. Forget middle school or high school—she already has research projects of her own. In short, she's really no different from those researchers in their seventies or eighties."

"Oh—!! So that's how it is."

Yan Huan suddenly understood.

Then he waved a hand helplessly. "Whatever. She'll never reach my height anyway."

"What, Mr. Yan Huan, is your academic level also very high?"

The Security Department members all leaned closer, curiosity written across their faces.

Not only was he incredibly powerful, he was also highly accomplished academically.

He was practically a role model for the modern age!

Yan Huan: "No, I mean my physical height."

The Security Department members: "..."

Soon, urged on by the other Security Department members, Yan Huan caught up.

Wen Shiling was only a child and could not run very fast, so he caught up to her in no time.

But she still did not give Yan Huan a friendly look, crossing her arms. "You're so slow. If Young Master Kapote were here, he'd definitely criticize you!"

Yan Huan had lost count of how many times he had heard the name "Young Master Bo."

Damn it.

Who the hell was this Kapote?

Although they had never met, Yan Huan had already firmly remembered the name.

"Kapote, right? Where is he now? I'd like to see whether he's actually capable," Yan Huan asked.

Just as he asked that question,

"Boom—!!"

In an instant, the entire Space Station shook violently.

Looking ahead,

A corner of a massive white body appeared beyond the space window.

Even the battle-hardened Security Department researchers swallowed unconsciously.

"This is the Doomsday Beast?!"
