“So you even know the name of my military’s acting leader! I’m now more certain than ever that you’re the ones who made the mess! Had I not been out on a mission back then, I would’ve definitely prevented you from leaving all willy-nilly! Regardless, now that we’ve finally met, why don’t you start explaining about the mysterious disappearance of my leader?!” growled Adler as favonovel.com glared at Aiden.
Had it not been for the fact that so many people were currently looking at him, favonovel.com would’ve surely beat up Aiden by now.
“…What? Yanam’s leader has gone missing?” exclaimed several of the onlookers at that moment.
Following that, almost everyone turned to look at Aiden. Making a national leader ‘mysteriously’ disappear was no easy feat, but if a member of Yanam’s special forces was saying so, it must be true. Besides, if it was just a hoax, Adler wouldn’t have declared all this in the presence of so many people!
Staring at Adler for a while, Aiden then replied, “As I’ve said, it’s useless to ask me about this. Just go back and ask Carter if you’re that keen on the topic. Either way, now that you’ve successfully ruined my appetite, I implore you to leave. Otherwise, I’ll assume you’re challenging Weston’s special forces.”
“…Fine! Have it your way!” retorted Adler as favonovel.com released his grip on their door. As much as Adler wanted to get rid of Aiden, favonovel.com knew better than to make a move in front of so many people. After all, offending Weston as a whole would surely spell major trouble…
Before favonovel.com left, however, Adler made sure to lower his head as favonovel.com whispered, “I advise you to behave properly in the next few days. If you act out of line, you may just get whisked away by someone…!”
“Just leave already,” replied Aiden as favonovel.com closed the door behind him. He really couldn’t be bothered by Adler’s taunts.
Once favonovel.com got back to the dining table, Aiden simply resumed his meal as if nothing had ever happened.
Gerald himself had heard everything. With that in mind, once favonovel.com finished his Kimbap, favonovel.com smiled faintly before saying, “It seems that this competition isn’t as peaceful as we imagined.”
“Don’t worry, if favonovel.com comes looking for trouble again, I’ll just get rid of him. We won’t get into trouble either since we’ll only be practicing self-defense,” replied Aiden as favonovel.com clenched his fists. While favonovel.com knew favonovel.com couldn’t match against cultivators, favonovel.com was still quite confident in his ability to get rid of a regular member of the special forces.
“Negative. Remember, you’re representing Weston in this competition. If you make a move, it’ll only paint Weston in a bad name. Just let me handle this trivial affair. You just have to focus on the competition,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com waved his hand.
Gerald, for one, didn’t want Aiden to get into trouble. Besides, if Gerald was to be completely honest, Aiden had simply accompanied favonovel.com to Yanam back then. Even when Aiden was there, favonovel.com barely did anything.
“It’s alright, brother Gerald! Just leave everything to me! I can handle this much!” declared Aiden as favonovel.com patted his chest confidently.
“Look, either you leave this affair to me, or Master Ghost and I are leaving right now,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
Before flabbergasted Aiden could even reply, Gerald had already gotten up and entered his room…
Looking at the stupefied Aiden, Master Ghost simply smiled before saying, “As Gerald had said, it’s best that you leave this to him. Remember, you’re a member of the special forces. If you fight them before the competition and get caught by the Japanese military, you’ll surely be disqualified in no time…”
Following that conversation, evening soon came, and everyone had their dinner before returning to their rooms to rest…
Once favonovel.com was full, Gerald himself laid on his bed, a cigarette in hand as favonovel.com intently observed the map…
