When Cassian entered the conference room, the first person he saw was a lean man who was around 50 years old. There was a single gold star on his military uniform, which meant he was a brigadier general.Cassian was stunned, but the most shocking thing was the fact that the brigadier general was the one filling up the water glasses and waiting on the others in the room, as if he were a lowly subordinate.Who on earth could be treated this way by a general?He glanced at the conference table and saw two old men sitting there. They were both over 70 years old and dressed in military uniforms with three gold stars gleaming under the light. They were three-star generals!Cassian was stunned. He didn't expect to find three generals in this conference room. But when he saw the faces of the two old men, his heart started pounding.They were Levi Wright, Chief of Staff of Defense Logistics, and Lincoln Thayer, Commander of the Jasperion Military Base.These two were legendary figures, ba

As soon as Cassian heard that Jonah was here, he immediately turned his head toward the door. He wanted to see what the towering pillar of the military actually looked like.Alas, he was disappointed, for the conference room door remained tightly shut, and no one entered from outside.That was strange. Where was Jonah?Just then, he saw Diego, the brigadier general, turning on the conference room's multimedia system and lowering the large projector screen."Since this meeting is for the highest clearance only, I'm not qualified to attend, so I'll take my leave now, sirs," Diego said to Levi and Lincoln. "I'll be right outside, so just call if you need anything.""You may go," Levi said, waving him off.Diego swiftly left the conference room, much to Cassian's shock. Just what kind of meeting was it that even a one-star brigadier general wasn't qualified to attend?"Cassian, Felix, you two have a seat." Lincoln pointed at the seats across from him.Cassian and Felix took their s

Jonah was only giving Cassian 48 hours to complete the mission, which made Cassian frown.This was no easy assignment. For one thing, he knew nothing about the scientist's present situation. Moreover, the mission had to be carried out in a foreign country.He'd be under a lot of pressure.Jonah continued, "If the scientist cannot be found within 48 hours, our country will have to prepare for battle. The possibility of war breaking out cannot be ruled out. Therefore, you can only have 48 hours."Cassian, if I entrust this massive responsibility to you, are you confident you can get the job done?"Cassian immediately stood up, met Jonah's gaze, and said solemnly, "Rest assured, sir. I will do everything in my capacity to complete this mission.""Excellent!" Jonah said. "To ensure that you can complete it smoothly, I've arranged for two people to help you."The first is Shadow Aegis' top hacker. Her codename is Satine. She will be in touch with you shortly. The second is Felix, who

It was a 30-minute drive from Rivershire Military Base to Rivershire Airport. While driving, Felix said, "There's a duffel bag in the backseat. It's for you. You'll find some daily necessities and—""That won't be necessary," Cassian said, cutting him off.He only had 48 hours to carry out this mission, so he wasn't going to need any sort of daily necessities.Felix didn't say anything more. Instead, he pulled out an ordinary-looking platinum ring from his pocket and handed it to Cassian."Why are you giving me this? Are you interested in me by any chance?" Cassian questioned as he subconsciously leaned to the side, deliberately putting more distance between them. "I'm not gay, so don't set your sights on me.""Don't be ridiculous!" Felix snapped. "This is a self-defense weapon."A self-defense weapon?Cassian was taken aback."There's a nano-bomb installed inside this platinum ring," Felix explained. "Once enough force is applied, it'll explode. It's roughly equivalent to a ha

At 11:00 pm, the flight departed from Rivershire Airport. It was headed for Togar, the capital of Daneast.According to the information Cassian received, the last known location of James and the four Shadow Aegis operatives was the Togar International Conference Center.It was pretty boring to take a flight alone. He didn't even have someone to chat with. Feeling rather restless, he took out the sunglasses and put them on. Immediately, his view changed.He got a clear view of everything that was happening in a 30-foot radius around him. But soon, he started frowning, for the scenes he saw weren't necessarily… decent.A plump, sleazy-looking man in a row up ahead was secretly watching one of Daneast's R-rated films.Over on the side, a young couple was huddled together, and the man had secretly slid his hand under the woman's top.There was also a middle-aged man who used his hand to scratch the sole of his foot before using the same hand to pick his teeth.It was disgusting, rea
