[Chapter 171]
David understood once Rupert finished speaking.
National Special Task Force had to be some terrifying organization,
Old Master Luther used to be a member of this organization, but he retired because of his injury. The organization would still ensure the safety of the Luther family as long as he was alive.
However, this was on the premise that the Luther family themselves was innocent. If the Luther family wanted to cause trouble and offend others, the organization would not intervene.
To put it simply, they had backup when they were innocent, but they were on their own when they were being unreasonable,
Charles pulled out his firearm to take out Zachary's bodyguard, so he was being unreasonable and would die in vain.
"However, why is the old man telling me so many things?
'He even said he'd give me a big present.
'Does he want me to join the National Special Task Force?'
'It would be nice if I could join, I would have status and backup. At the very least, I won't have to worry about spending money, right?
'I have neither stolen nor robbed others, so I can spend my own money. If others were jealous and came looking for trouble, I would be considered innocent, right?'
David thought it sounded good after thinking about the matter in that way.
He just had no idea if there were any constraints.
'Will I have to work 9 to 5 every day? I haven't even graduated from university!'
"Old Master Luther, are you trying to get me to join the National Special Task Force?" Asked David.
"Do you think this organization is easy to join, Dave?" Rupert asked in reply.
"It should be… difficult!" replied David.
"It's not difficult! It's very difficult! You can only join National Special Task Force by being referred by an internal staff! They don't hire openly. Even if you are referred, the most rigorous vetting and tests await you."
"As a retired member of Special Task Force Team B, I can refer others. I planned to reserve the position for Charlie at first. Unfortunately, he's not talented enough, and he would only get eliminated. So I would like to refer you. With your talents, I'm sure you'll pass the tests, Dave!"
"Old Master Luther, you want to refer me to join Special Task Force and protect the Luther family?" asked David
"That's just one of many things. With your talents at this age, I'm more optimistic about your future, Dave. So I'd like to invest my referral in you," said Rupert.
"Old Master Luther, how could you be sure that I will join Special Task Force? What if I refuse?"
"Because I know you need it now! Dave, you've endured 20 years of humiliation without revealing your strength, so I assume your mentor didn't want you exposed. He might have enemies, or there could be others reasons, but either way, you need an identity."
"You looked into me?"
David's aura burst out at that instant, shaking the shelves and chairs in the study.
His biggest fear now was that someone would look into his background and discover his secret. He was not strong enough to keep his secret yet.
There was a saying, "A precious stone lands its innocent possessor in trouble." Once it was revealed that he had a system, there would be many forces who would try to find out more.
They might just cut him open.
'Get stronger! I must get stronger as soon as possible!
'Fortunately, he only thinks I have a mentor!
'That's the best explanation!
'Being able to teach such an apprentice, this non-existent mentor should be able to deter him!
"As long as no one could find out that I have a system, I'll say I have a mentor!
David's newly tense nerves loosened slightly at the thought as he withdrew his aura.
