[BL] Daily Disposable Persona

6: Child of the Wind 06

The Dragon Group didn't release Zong Yan until the moon was bright and the stars were dim.

During that time, he met almost all the bigwigs of the Dragon Group, including the commander in chief. One by one they patted Zong Yan on the shoulder with proud smiles on their wrinkled faces, saying over and over that the younger generation was fearsome, and how optimistic they were about this junior.

Zong Yan had no idea how he was dragged onto such a pirate ship after revealing his superpower.

Because the Dragon Group was extraordinarily generous. Every one of them assured Zong Yan that all Awakened were a family. Awakened people who entered the Dragon Group could feel like they'd come home, and as soon as it was convenient for him, he could pack up his things and move into one of the Dragon Group's apartments. The state would pay all the utilities, central air, and heating costs, and there was no rent at all. He could even have his name posted on the door. He could take three meals a day in the Dragon Group's dining hall, be allocated funds directly from the Dragon Group's internal account, and basically would never have to spend another dime. And after joining the Dragon Group, there was a significant allowance every month, not to mention other benefits that flowed like running water.

As Zong Yan listened, dumbfounded, he struggled with the temptation of money.

Before he left, He Yuan warmly invited Zong Yan to have dinner at the base. Zong Yan, meanwhile, agreed to experience the Dragon Group's cafeteria with the mentality of never spending money if he could rub a meal for free.

The main location of the Dragon Group base was underground, while support facilities like the dining hall and dormitories were at ground level or above.

And this wasn't some rural suburb, but a busy commercial center in the middle of Jiangzhou. The land was so expensive that it made one click one's tongue, even rivaling the Third Ring Road in Yanjing.

A skyscraper in the business district, that was the Dragon Group's base.

The subterranean fortress was deep below the underground parking garage. Above ground, the first three floors were all shopping centers. From the fourth floor to the ninth, there were high-end restaurants and various elite private clubs. Further up was all Dragon Group territory. The tenth floor was the dining hall, and from the 11th floor upwards were the apartments of Dragon Group members. They said that when you opened the curtains in your apartment, you could see a gorgeous view of the Huangpu River, then make a phone call to the canteen downstairs to send up a glass of red wine and enjoy a relaxing sunset.

Now it was just about time for dinner. The people in the canteen all wore the black uniform of the Dragon Group. They'd come up by the internal direct access elevator, and as soon as they stepped into the dining room they attracted countless eyes.

They said it was a dining hall, but Zong Yan thought it would be no exaggeration to call it a high-end restaurant. When they walked in, waiters in tuxedos and waitresses in lace dresses came up to serve them.

Zong Yan sat at the long table and looked at the fully automated touchscreen in front of him. It was densely packed with French.

"Strictly speaking, the Dragon Group isn't a special operations unit. Ordinarily only the training and response teams have a militarized structure. When we're not on duty, everyone's as free as can be."

He Yuan introduced everything to him very readily. "Downstairs is a Michelin 3-star French restaurant. The Dragon Group's dining hall is outsourced to them. If you're lucky, you can enjoy the executive chef's own dishes.

"Below this floor is a shopping mall. There are also many fine restaurants nearby. It's all there on the tablet. If you want to eat something, just order it. When it's sent over from the kitchen, it will be plated and delivered together. Anyway, it's all reimbursed so feel free to eat whatever you like."
