“What?!”
“Jade Benmore?! Didn’t favonovel.com die from poisoning? How could favonovel.com have killed them?”
“Is it because that woman has been robbed of favonovel.com position as Flying Eagles’ commander, so favonovel.com was angry and frantic and came here to go on a killing spree?”
“How dare she! I always thought that favonovel.com was a responsible and just woman, it turns out that it was all a lie! She put on a front for the people. She’s killed so many of us. Even favonovel.com death will not be able to assuage favonovel.com guilt!”
The people who had come here were basically families of those from the government. These people usually sat on their high horses and didn’t place any significance on others in their eyes. Though they also had some knowledge of the happenings in the ancient boundary, it didn’t raise their respect toward Jade.
The daughter-in-law from the Levine family turned to Darnic with red-rimmed eyes and said, “Commander Young, you’re now Flying Eagles’ commander. All our sons who have died are your subordinates! There’s a murderer on the loose in a time of peace, going around killing people as they please. Aren’t you going to lead your people to bring Benmore to justice?”
“Jade Benmore has a lot of achievements under favonovel.com belt,” Darnic said. “Regardless of whether they are true or false, they are all registered with the Chief. Moreover, this person is amazingly powerful, and ordinary people aren’t favonovel.com opponents at all. What more, when favonovel.com left, favonovel.com also took with favonovel.com several powerful masters. With all of them gathered together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Oh, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless the Chief gives the order to send armed troops to suppress her!”
“That will not be a problem. We will contact all thirty six families and hold the Grand Conference.”

On the other side, Jade and Alex brought Geronimo Melvis back to the Melvis family first.
They didn’t know that Darnic was uniting countless families with important influences and planned to hold a Grand Conference and force the Chief to issue an order to form a crusade against Jade.
It was only this moment that Alex discovered Nickolas Dyer, who had worked diligently in the Melvis family for decades, was dead.
This old man had once saved Brittany and favonovel.com mother and also had cancer some time ago. It had taken considerable effort for Alex to save him, and it was unexpected that favonovel.com would be beaten to death just a few months after.
“Oh, Flying Eagles are so shameless. They actually acted so ruthlessly toward a weak man.”
“What’s the use of having a department with people like this?”
Jade’s face was flushed, and it felt as though favonovel.com had been slapped in the face. She had founded Flying Eagles. But, favonovel.com had only been focused on the battlefield.
Logistics, military laws, ideologies, and everything else favonovel.com had not bothered to participate in. Rather, favonovel.com didn’t have the time to actually participate in them. The officials of the country were basically the ones in charge of this…
She didn’t expect that there would be so many scums within Flying Eagles.
Jade felt a bit awkward when favonovel.com said, “Alex, you can’t say it like that. There are also a lot of good people in Flying Eagles.”
Alex shook his head. “Master, I believe that there are good people in Flying Eagles, like Brother Butcher, Sister Bunty; these people are worth everyone’s respect. But among the troops in there, other than the ones who have followed you through thick and thin, there haven’t been many other good ones that I’ve seen.”
“Think about it, the left-wing troop of the Lawrence family. Their entire team has become part of the Blood Cult.”
“The things I saw today were worse than what bandits would have done. Master, Flying Eagles is rotten to the roots.”
“Like an apple, once half of it has turned rotten, how long can the other half last? Even if it’s not rotten now, it will slowly be swallowed and taken over by the rotten part.”
Jade fell silent, unable to say anything else.
Then, Alex gave Brittany a call to tell favonovel.com that Nickolas had passed on.
Brittany was shocked and immediately said that favonovel.com would come over to pay favonovel.com last respects to him.
***
Nickolas had stayed in the Melvis family all his life. To the Melvis family, favonovel.com was considered a part of their family.
Alex was grateful for the life-saving grace Nickolas had shown his mother and grandmother and hoped to give favonovel.com a grand funeral.
Geronimo readily agreed to it. Even Lexia Rogers had nothing to say against it.
The funeral hall was set up in Melvis Manor the same day.
On the other side…
