[Chapter 242]
Two hours later, David returned to the Starry Night Hotel with the middle-aged driver once again sending him back.
He was now an official member of Special Task Force Team A and no longer a backup member.
Originally, David was not ready to become an official member for the time being because he knew that once he became an official member, he would have to accept organizational arrangements and go on missions. Right now, he did not have the time to do such things yet.
However, Leeman said that David could get special treatment and enjoy the rights of an official member. Furthermore, he did not need to accept any missions for the time being.
Only after this did David agree. There was a huge gap in status between the official members and the backup members.
The most basic benefits was that official members had the right to mobilize the local forces while backup members did not.
One should not underestimate the a huge gap between the two.
The simplest example was when David was in Springfield, East League International's projects were all being investigated and delayed for various reasons.
If David was an official member of Special Task Force Team A, as long as he found the cabinet minister of Springfield and revealed his identity, no one in Springfield would dare to cause trouble for him.
Even under special conditions, the cabinet minister of Springfield had to obey his arrangements. This was the right of an official member of Special Task Force Team A.
They had the authority to ask for the cooperation of local forces when they performed their duties, which was a right granted to them by the state.
So, if one were to compare their identities only, David's identity was already higher than the cabinet ministers of the provinces in the country and also the cabinet ministers of Springfield and Capital City, the two international metropolises.
There were 66 provinces and 2 international metropolises in the country, so it meant there would be 68 cabinet ministers. However, how many official members of Special Task Force
Team A were there?
No matter which province the official members of Special Task Force Team A went to, if their identities were revealed, they would become the honorable guests of the respective cabinet minister, and no one would dare to offend them.
This was because not only were they powerful, but under certain specific conditions, they had the right to kill first before asking questions.
This authority alone was incomparable to others.
After David got back to the hotel, he contacted the people from Falcon.
He was going to quickly confirm these two identities so that he could go about his business.
The people from Falcon asked David to wait at the hotel too.
This time, the other party came much quicker, and they arrived in less than an hour. They asked David to go up to the top floor of the hotel and that they would be there right away.
Before David could ask, the other party hung up the phone.
David was puzzled.
What would he do on the top floor?
However, he still did as the other party asked.
David went to the top floor of the hotel only to find that it was huge and there were several helicopters parked on top of it. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was going by helicopter.
David did not wait long before a military helicopter approached him from far away before slowly descending four or five meters away from the top floor of the hotel. After this, a rope about the thickness of a thumb was lowered before the helicopter stopped moving.
A man in military uniform waved to David from the co-pilot seat of the helicopter, motioning at him to come up quickly.
David then stepped forward, grabbed the rope, and with a little force, climbed into the helicopter.
After getting into the helicopter, the door closed automatically and the vehicle flew off into the distance.
There were only three people on the helicopter. Two people were in the cockpit while David was the only one sitting behind.
