Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 153
Chapter 153: Captain King
The Myth… The Legend?
While Grace knew Davian’s exact identity in the military, she still believed that the young soldier was being way too obvious about him being a fanboy. But it soon turned out that he wasn’t the only one in awe of Davian.
“Are you the Legendary Davian King Parker – the Captain of Team Alpha and also the owner of the Parker Corporation?” Another soldier seemed to have recognized Davian as soon as his companion mentioned his identity.
His voice was so loud that it got the attention of the rest of the soldiers, who had been talking among themselves about what they just experienced. They also made their way toward Grace and her team once they heard their companion mentioning the Legendary Team Alpha and its Captain.
“So you are Captain King. No wonder you and your people are able to handle those dead things with such ease.” One of the senior soldiers stated as he finally realized why a certain group of people living in Building K12 seemed to be doing better than others in such bad situations.
The Chief of their unit had reminded him and the rest of the team during their deployment that they needed to stay clear of the residents of the top three floor of the Building K12 no matter the situation.
This special instruction from their superior did made their unit realize that this group of residents had some special identities, but they still could have never expected for this special person to turn out none other than the Captain of Alpha Team of the military.
The Alpha Team was the special force team of Starship Country that was created by the equal efforts and planning of the government and the military. It was created under the direct leadership of Captain King and was forced to disband when Captain King retired, after eight long years of service, as the new captains failed to bring the same result as Captain King.
The Alpha Team was in force for ten years, out of which it worked under Captain King for eight years, and it was one of the most powerful special forces to exist during its time. While barely anyone knew much about it during its existence, it became a legend in the military after its disbandment.
There was barely anyone in the military force of Starship Country who hadn’t heard of Captain King. While the seniors knew him because of his extraordinary leadership and successful missions, the juniors knew him because of his identity as the perfect military student of the country.
Davian entered the top military school of the Starship Country at the age of eight, and was a top student throughout the years until he passed the school at the age of eighteen and immediately got enlisted in the then active special force team – Team Dark.
It took him barely two years to prove his talent and worth despite his young age to earn the position of the Captain of his own Special force team. Now, after nearly five years of its disbandment, both Team Alpha and Captain King had become legends in the military.
Since Grace, her team, and Davian’s team, were fully aware of his identity as Alpha King, they didn’t look surprised at all. Instead, they all were enjoying the unwanted attention that the man was receiving.
On the other hand, some particular senior soldiers were quick to notice that the woman next to Captain King didn’t look like a subordinate. Though she remained silent and just absorbed the entire exchange, the air surrounding her screamed that she carried a special identity as well, equal of Captain King’s identity if not more.
Maybe it was the way they previously saw her marching out with the others following her, or the way she easily killed those zombies as if she was slicing butter. Or maybe it was the way she was leading the others in her team, everything about her screamed superiority and power.
This realization made them take notes within their hearts – other than not offending their Captain Cool, they also needed to make sure that they wouldn’t end up offending this mysterious woman.
Davian barely responded much to the enquiries of the young soldiers and just reminded the seniors to fortify the Greenstone Residential Area against the zombies.
“Since this is a residential area, not many zombies appeared here because most people were inside their houses during the rain and didn’t get infected by the virus. This will make your work easy. Check each buildings to make sure that no zombie is left before sealing off the main gates of the residential area.”
“Yes, sir!” The seniors replied with salutes, not even questioning Davian’s suggestion despite him no longer being a part of the military.
“Let’s head inside… Mrs. parker.” This time, Davian’s words were directed at none other than Grace who was completely taken aback by the title.
She didn’t even got the time to react properly as he took hold of her hand and started walking back toward Building K12 while their team followed.
On the other hand, the soldiers were left just as dumbfounded. While some of them were already realizing that this particular woman seemed to have a special identity, nothing could have prepared them for the sudden revelation.
No wonder they noticed Captain King looking at the woman with so much warmth and care in his eyes. So, she was the rumored Mrs. Parker.
The world had been hearing rumors about the mysterious Mrs. Parker for the past five years. But only those who were close to Davian King Parker knew whether this woman actually existed or not. Finally, they not only got to confirm but even saw the lady boss in real life.
This only confirmed the doubts of those who were contemplating on Grace’s identity. After learning that she was the wife of Davian King Parker, they were sure that she was no normal woman either since it was also rumored that his wife was someone with equal power and status as him.
