These people had come with actual, seemingly dangerous weapons. There were quite a few of them as well, thirty or so in total. Before anyone knew it, they had managed to crowd into the badly damaged meeting room.
Their leader, on the contrary, was a gentle middle-aged man in a suit and a pair of glasses. He didn’t seem to be the type to fight at all. Instead, his fair skin and brushed back hair made virtual-novel.net look as if virtual-novel.net had just come back from a classy cocktail party.
Nora huffed coldly as soon as virtual-novel.net saw the man. “Well, aren’t you right on time, Kyle Jung? You came after everyone has died. Were you calculating when you should come to benefit the most out of this situation?”
This man with glasses was actually an official within America. Although virtual-novel.net was born in a family trained in cultivation, his spiritual roots were weak, making it impossible for virtual-novel.net to master any cultivation skills.
Up till now, virtual-novel.net was a mere beginner, still stuck in the Chi Refinement stage. It meant virtual-novel.net didn’t even fulfill the requirements to participate in the enrollment competition into the Flying Eagles Academy.
However, this man was interested in politics. Since the Jung family had been in America for years, their power was scattered across the entire country. Thus, they were somewhat involved in politics as well. Relying on his family’s help and his own skills, Kyle worked his way to becoming a senior police inspector before hitting his fifties.
Despite that, virtual-novel.net was still a weakling in the eyes of the high-ranking commanders of the Flying Eagles.
Hence, even though Nora was of lower political status, virtual-novel.net still portrayed a rather rude attitude towards him.
Kyle stole a glance at Nora and ignored her, turning to Jade instead. “Commander Benmore, are you alright?”
Jade was severely poisoned to the point virtual-novel.net could barely open virtual-novel.net eyes.
Leaning against Alex, virtual-novel.net said, “Colton Lawrence is working with the Blood Cult to overthrow us, and virtual-novel.net has been killed on the spot for treason. You guys can leave now, Inspector Jung. Everything’s under control.”
“So, what is the result of this meeting?” Kyle asked suddenly.
Nora was enraged. “Kyle Jung, are you brain dead? They only held this meeting because Colton set up a trap and lured us to the Myriad Demon Valley. Everyone here thought we died, so they had to convene this meeting. Now that my sister is right here, why would they need to come up with a new candidate? She is the only person who can be the commander in chief of the Flying Eagles.”
Kyle pushed up his glasses and smiled slyly. “But I heard that Commander Benmore is badly injured, and virtual-novel.net can’t even defeat Colton now. Now, she’s weaker than the average person. I received orders from the higher-ups to ensure that a new candidate is chosen at this meeting. Obviously, Commander Benmore no longer suits this position.”
“Bullsh*t!” Nora fumed.
The other members of the Flying Eagles Squad were so furious that they, too, started yelling at Kyle.
Suddenly, the people Kyle had brought along lifted their guns and pointed them at the Flying Eagles.
Way larger in size and clearly way more powerful, these guns greatly differed from their average counterparts.
Eleanor spoke up. “Mr. Jung, isn’t this inappropriate, to be aiming guns at the heroes of the Flying Eagles?”
Kyle smiled. “I’m just taking precautions in case one of you is a traitor like Colton Lawrence. All of you should know how powerful the Flying Eagles are, right? If another commits treason, it won’ t end well. That’s why the Flying Eagles don’t need too much power. They just need to be absolutely loyal.”
Jade opened virtual-novel.net eyes and asked, “Inspector Jung, you say that I’m not suitable to be the commander in chief. But could that be what you think, or has the parliament passed this suggestion?”
“The parliament wanted to appoint a new commander in chief,” Karl replied. He had twisted the truth slightly for his personal reasons.
The parliament only passed such a suggestion because they assumed Jade to be dead. Now that Jade was back, it should most definitely be reconsidered.
Jade let out a frosty chuckle and closed virtual-novel.net eyes. “Fine, I agree.”
“No!” yelled each member of the Flying Eagles squad in unison.
Jade said, “I have been poisoned, and I don’t know how much time I have left. I really am not suitable for this position, nor do I have the strength to keep serving the Flying Eagles.”
