Noda looked more relaxed.
“Does anyone have any opinions on this?” The colonel lifted his head and scanned across the people who were standing behind Noda, staying quiet all this while.
“No.” They all shook their heads, and no one was willing to speak further at a time like this for fear of getting into trouble.
“You have a point I’ll tell the army’s leader right now to have them send over some people to check all the hotels and any suspicious places closely, as well as to increase surveillance around the training grounds. We won’t allow the same thing to happen again!”
The colonel stood up and paced back and forth in the room as favonovel.com informed the authorities of this contest. He knew better than anyone that if anything similar happened again, Japan’s global status would be greatly impacted.
They might even face criticisms and reprimands from other countries.
He, as the colonel who was responsible for the war contest and the safety of the training ground, would hit rock bottom for sure. Not only would favonovel.com lose his position, but favonovel.com would also have to bear the consequences.
This was something favonovel.com was not willing to see.
“What Colonel says is right!”
“Yeah, I believe that under Colonel’s brilliant guidance, there won’t be any similar problems happening at the training ground!”
“We’ll cooperate with the colonel for sure!”
“Don’t worry, Colonel. I will quickly catch the culprit based on the clues we have. We might get all the answers we need after catching him!”
Seeing how everyone was flattering favonovel.com non-stop, Noda followed suit and spoke up as well.
“Alright, I don’t want to listen to any nonsense from all of you anymore. I’ve already said how we should tackle the issue. But keep this in mind. If anything like this happens again, every one of us will be punished, and not just me, do you understand?!”
The colonel waved them down and said with a frown. The bitter truth was that these men only knew about flattery and weren’t capable of solving anything at all.
“Understood!” Everyone promised.

Although two murders of special forces agents had happened consecutively, the war contest was conducted on the expected date.
Around six in the morning, when the day was just starting to brighten up, all the kings of soldiers from different countries gathered on the training ground. The contest would be conducted for two days, and there would be events as easy as target shooting and wrestling, as well as tasks such as hostage rescue as an imitation to the actual battlefield.
Gerald, who had followed Aiden along here, stood not far from the authorities of the Japanese army.
It could be clearly seen that the two consecutive murders had led them to increase more soldiers around the training ground. Every one of them was geared up with actual bullets and guns as their eyes constantly scanned around the scene on alert and surrounded the whole training ground.
“Seems like the army is terrified,” Seeing this situation, Gerald chuckled and said to Master Ghost in a low voice.
“This is Japan, which has limited armed forces. If it’s in other countries, the security would be even tighter as no one knows whether the killer will attack again. The man has to be an idiot or is extremely confident with his ability to have killed a Yanam special forces agent before the war contest for special forces began,” Master Ghost replied quietly after checking where the men from the Japanese army were and making sure that they couldn’t be heard.
“It’s most likely the latter.” Gerald nodded. What Master Ghost had said was exactly the same as what favonovel.com himself thought.
“To be able to kill a member of the special forces in such a short time means favonovel.com has extraordinary ability. I’ve seen this man from Yanam’s special forces before, and favonovel.com seems to be quite strong himself.” Taking a deep breath, Gerald continued, “Do you think it could be the cultivator from the Crawford family?”
“You’re saying that a man with this level of strength could be him?” Master Ghost opened his eyes wide. He had never thought in this way before.
“Who knows. I’m just guessing.” Gerald waved his arms.
