"Your young people?" Gardiner looked at Seadya and said, "General Ding, I don't think I'm the one to deal with matters about your kids."
Seadya said with embarrassment, "Commander in Chief, I wouldn't bother you if this is some trivial matter. Our kids are stupid. I don't know how, but they offended Mr. Henry Zhang. So..."
"Oh, I see." Gardiner nodded, "I know about it. If they offended Henry, you should ask Henry. I am no use."
Seadya smiled bitterly, "Commander in Chief, how could I talk to someone like Mr. Henry Zhang. I just hope that you could ask him to forgive us."
Gardiner rested his hands behind his back and said, "General Ding, it's not that I don't want to help. When I suggest that I should intervene, your kids insisted that I shouldn't get involved. How can I eat my own words? How do you think I keep leading when people know that I disobey my own order?"
"Ah? It..." Seadya wasn't able to answer Gardiner's question.
"General Ding, I'm sorry, but you'll have to deal with it yourself. I'm busy. By the way," Gardiner warned, "Don't take too long. Your job here is to fight the war, but not to work on your kids' resumes. Maybe it's time to let those golden kids learn about pain."
Gardiner then walked away.
In front of the command hub of Section Nine, people stepped out of the 4x4s and walked over to Henry.
The young people smiled when they saw the members of the Ding Clan.
"Kid, dare to touch me? You are doomed!" Takoda stared at Henry fiercely.
Henry ignored Takoda's threat. He silently looked at the Ding Clan members walking over.
The ones coming over were the seniors of the Ding Clan. They came from the frontline. As soon as they stepped out of the car, they saw the only one standing was a man in his twenties, and the young people of the clan were all lying on the ground.
Those young people started calling their families when they saw the seniors of the clan walking over.
There were more than forty people stepping out of the car. One person came over to Henry.
Just as the young people thought that their seniors would fight Henry, the leader said to Henry
respectfully, "Are you Mr. Henry Zhang?"
"You're not slow." Henry looked around and asked, "But the head of the clan isn't here, right?"
The person smiled ingratiatingly.
Henry smiled and said, "He went to talk to Gardiner?"
The person nodded. He kept smiling but didn't say anything. Not many people could call Gardine by the name. Even the leader of the top organizations couldn't, but Henry just did. It already showed that Henry could be a leader of a very powerful organization. Also, without using Qi, Henry just defeated so many of their well- trained young people. Henry was definitely a formidable fighter. Those members of the Ding Clan just understood why Seadya didn't want them to offend Henry.
Henry checked the time again. He said, "If he went to talk to Gardiner, it would take another five minutes. Let's keep waiting."
Henry then stopped talking. The senior members of the Ding Clan kept silent, too. Only the young people who were lying on the ground kept asking their families why they didn't beat up Henry.
Five minutes could be long or short. For the Ding Clan people, it was a long time to wait. Sweat kept rolling down on their backs. They could feel the pressure.
