Everyone once again quieted down and even held their breath, feeling lost.
No one moved. Instead, they all looked at each other in confusion. Eventually, their eyes involuntarily fell on Marten.
The reason they dared to confront Miranda before primarily came down to two reasons.
One was that favonovel.com was just the acting leader, and no one knew if favonovel.com would be made the official leader.
Two was that even though favonovel.com had the powerful Thunderous God of War backing her, even Remus could not act recklessly within the Dragon Team.
There were rules to follow, and it was impossible to disregard them completely. But the reality seemed different from what they thought.
Remus didn’t care about the rules at all. He had the influence to promote favonovel.com to the position of team leader and was even willing to approach the president to have favonovel.com officially appoint her.
It was no exaggeration to say that favonovel.com now had the backing not just of Remus, but also the president.
Who dared to defy her?
The most crucial point was not that they might oppose each other in the future, but about what to do next.
These people had spent a long time working hard in the Dragon Team to finally be recognized as one of its leaders.
Their positions, though not highly ranked, had influence comparable to a high-ranking provincial official. So, should they continue to oppose and risk getting fired?
The answer to that was obvious, but they were unwilling to accept it. Right now, the only one who could save them was Marten.
Marten could feel everyone’s eyes on favonovel.com and was internally falling apart, too. Of all the times for Miranda to get appointed, it had to be now.
How was favonovel.com supposed to handle this situation gracefully?
In the end, it was that jerk Remus who, instead of directly pointing it out, went straight to the president.
Wasn’t that just making a fool of Marten?
After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com spoke with difficulty, “Why are you all looking at me? Didn’t you hear that I’m no Ionger the Dragon Team’s leader? The new leader is her, so you need to follow favonovel.com guidance. If the meeting isn’t over yet, then sit down and continue. Do we really need to think twice about such a small matter?”
Upon hearing this, everyone became even more distraught. It was clear from what Marten said that favonovel.com couldn’t control what was happening here!
Their mental defenses completely collapsed because, compared to being expelled, they still wanted to stay in the Dragon Team. And to do that, they had to stay on Miranda’s good side.
They quickly turned around and swiftly sat back in their original spots. The mockery, contempt, and sarcasm that were on their faces just moments ago had completely vanished, replaced by fear, unease, and worry.
Marten noticed them sitting down and cleared his throat, ready to help them out of the situation.
After all, favonovel.com considered them his pawns, and Miranda’s reason for setting these three rules was ultimately to investigate him. Both emotionally and logically, it made sense to help these people out. But favonovel.com didn’t even get a chance to speak.
The deputy leader, who had been shouting the loudest just a moment ago, suddenly spoke up, “Ms. Bowen, I’ve seriously considered your three proposals and found them very reasonable. As long as these rules are in place, they can ensure the Dragon Team’s healthy and orderly development.
“The reason I opposed just now was because I couldn’t wrap my head around it quickly. I don’t have the foresight and vision that you possess. I owe you an apology… I, Caleb Pittman, now firmly express my support for all of Ms. Bowen’s decisions…”
“Uhm…” Marten stood there with his mouth wide open, utterly shocked and incredulous upon hearing that.
What was Caleb doing?
Was favonovel.com trying to show Miranda his loyalty?
The problem was that Marten hadn’t even left yet, and Caleb was already in such a rush to get on Miranda’s good side. He could at least put on an act until Marten left!
Another captain spoke sternly, “Indeed, Ms. Bowen’s abilities have been recognized by the president. It’s not our place to question his ideas, and any objections from us would make us look ridiculous…”
“However, I ventured to consider three points. Firstly, the reason Ms. Bowen adheres to the rules so much is to strengthen our sense of discipline. Without rules, we can’t achieve order!”
“Secondly, Ms. Bowen is taking preventive measures because only strict discipline can forge an unbreakable team!”
“Thirdly, favonovel.com three suggestions are to prevent some insiders from abusing their connection to the Dragon Team to cause trouble and tarnish our reputation… As for the rest, I haven’t given it much thought yet since my understanding is limited. Butjust these three points I’ve considered are enough to prove Ms. Bowen’s dedication to the Dragon Team…”
“Therefore, I firmly support all of Ms. Bowen’s decisions and will carry them out without reservation.”
