In this operation's team, Zhuo Hongjun's military rank was not low.
That's why he got to lead one of the teams, setting up an ambush.
One of the reasons he was able to promote to the rank of Captain at such a young age was the profound background of his family, and he was also eager to make a name for himself.
In fact, he never felt that Lu Heng was qualified to compete with him.
Yet, his superiors insisted on making him compete with Lu Heng for the "Damage Retrospection" Skill.
He didn't want to lose to someone of low birth like Lu Heng.
So, even if it meant defying military orders, he had to beat Alex Austin to the punch and capture him.
By doing so, not only could he win the competition with Lu Heng and obtain the "Damage Retrospection" Skill, but he could also wash away previous suspicions of reckless credits grabbing.
When he was at the Academy of Sciences and heard the news of Alex Austin's appearance, he wanted to do just that.
