âWhat?!â
âJade Benmore?! Didnât she die from poisoning? How could she have killed them?â
âIs it because that woman has been robbed of her position as Flying Eaglesâ commander, so she was
angry and frantic and came here to go on a killing spree?â
âHow dare she! I always thought that she was a responsible and just woman, it turns out that it was all
a lie! She put on a front for the people. Sheâs killed so many of us. Even her death will not be able to
assuage her guilt!â
The people who had come here were basically families of those from the government. These people
usually sat on their high horses and didnât place any significance on others in their eyes. Though they
also had some knowledge of the happenings in the ancient boundary, it didnât raise their respect toward
Jade.
The daughter-in-law from the Levine family turned to Darnic with red-rimmed eyes and said,
âCommander Young, youâre now Flying Eaglesâ commander. All our sons who have died are your
subordinates! Thereâs a murderer on the loose in a time of peace, going around killing people as they
please. Arenât you going to lead your people to bring Benmore to justice?â
âJade Benmore has a lot of achievements under her belt,â Darnic said. âRegardless of whether they are
true or false, they are all registered with the Chief. Moreover, this person is amazingly powerful, and
ordinary people arenât her opponents at all. What more, when she left, she also took with her several
powerful masters. With all of them gathered together, theyâre a force to be reckoned with. Oh, unlessâ¦â
âUnless what?â
âUnless the Chief gives the order to send armed troops to suppress her!â
âThat will not be a problem. We will contact all thirty six families and hold the Grand Conference.â
***
On the other side, Jade and Alex brought Geronimo Melvis back to the Melvis family first.
They didnât 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 her mother and also had cancer some time ago. It had taken
considerable effort for Alex to save him, and it was unexpected that he would be beaten to death just a
few months after.
âOh, Flying Eagles are so shameless. They actually acted so ruthlessly toward a weak man.â
âWhatâs the use of having a department with people like this?â
Jadeâs face was flushed, and it felt as though she had been slapped in the face. She had founded
Flying Eagles. But, she had only been focused on the battlefield.
Logistics, military laws, ideologies, and everything else she had not bothered to participate in. Rather,
she didnât have the time to actually participate in them. The officials of the country were basically the
ones in charge of thisâ¦
She didnât expect that there would be so many scums within Flying Eagles.
Jade felt a bit awkward when she said, âAlex, you canât say it like that. There are also a lot of good
people in Flying Eagles.â
Alex shook his head. âMaster, I believe that there are good people in Flying Eagles, like Brother
Butcher, Sister Bunty; these people are worth everyoneâs respect. But among the troops in there, other
than the ones who have followed you through thick and thin, there havenât been many other good ones
that Iâve seen.â
âThink about it, the left-wing troop of the Lawrence family. Their entire team has become part of the
Blood Cult.â
âThe things I saw today were worse than what bandits would have done. Master, Flying Eagles is rotten
to the roots.â
âLike an apple, once half of it has turned rotten, how long can the other half last? Even if itâs not rotten
now, it will slowly be swallowed and taken over by the rotten part.â
Jade fell silent, unable to say anything else.
Then, Alex gave Brittany a call to tell her that Nickolas had passed on.
Brittany was shocked and immediately said that she would come over to pay her last respects to him.
***
Nickolas had stayed in the Melvis family all his life. To the Melvis family, he 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 him 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 sideâ¦
