That night, Max called for a secret emergency meeting with the seven other representatives from the Eight-Nation Alliance.
During the private meeting, Max insisted on his support, which only made the situation head for the worst.
Nelson was dead.
It was almost a given thing that Nathan would take over Nelson as the next president.
Under his guidance and command, Eurasia, a large nation in the East, would likely gain control of the entire world.
At the same time, Euriasis would likely challenge the positions of nations such as Ariarica that used to hold power over the rest of the world.
If they wanted to remain overlords of the world, they had to curb the rise of Eurasia.
If they wanted to prevent Eurasia from dominating the world, they had to overthrow Nathan first.
Once they brought down Nathan, Master of the Dragon of the East, they could kick Eurasia back into the abyss.
Miyamoto Kuoni, the military governor of Jetroina, could not stop himself from asking, “Admiral Max, it doesn't seem like we can overturn the decision for Nathan to become the President of Eurasia. He is about to gain more power. What should we do about it?”
The rest of the leaders looked at Max with anticipation.
“If the Dragon of the East wants to spread its wings and take off, we shall shoot it down,” Max snarled as he narrowed his eyes.
“Since we can't change the fact that Nathan will become the next
President of Eurasia, our only other choice is to destroy him.”
Destroy him?
Uncertain of what Max meant, everyone stared at him blankly.
After a dramatic pause, Max slowly muttered, “Well, I plan to behead Nathan the moment he officially takes over the office in front of everyone.”
Without hesitation, he announced, “I want him dead at the ceremony and captured on the live broadcast for the world to see.”
At once, Miyamoto Kuoni and the rest gasped at his words.
