Chapter 136 The Most Outstanding Man She’s Ever Met

Within a restricted zone in the capital city, an elderly man in simple clothing sat on a sofa in an office.

Before long, another elderly man surnamed Donald entered the room holding a cup of tea.

"Have a seat!" the elderly man in simple clothing gestured to the sofa.

"What kind of trouble do you want to bother me with this time?" Donald, seated now, spoke up.

"You've heard about that kid's situation, right?" The elderly man handed a special brand cigarette to Donald.

"Isn't this something you wanted to see?" Donald took the cigarette and spoke lightly.

"Can't you just speak nicely?" The elderly man gave Donald a glare.

"Did I say something wrong?" Donald lit the cigarette and took a drag.

"From the day he reached Ozin, most of the subsequent events played out pretty much as you had anticipated. You old fox you!"

"Well, isn't that for his own good too?" The elderly man also took a drag from his cigarette. "But, there might be something you don't know yet."

"What is it?" Donald inquired.

"He left Rakshasa in the Place of Darkness!"

"And then?" Donald continued. "Then what happened?"

"Though Rakshasa didn't tell me the specifics, only that she wants to stay there, but from my understanding of that kid, he definitely didn't let Rakshasa stay just for simple reasons!" The old man in plain clothes responded.

"What are you trying to say?" Donald furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm worried..." The old man had a thoughtful tone. "There were already people who had some doubts about him holding two positions at once, and even rumors saying he declared himself king in the Western Region and disobeyed military orders. It's not a small ambition! If at this time, Place of Darkness sends out another team, some people will have even more to say."

Donald snorted coldly. "These people are just full of themselves. Whoever said that can come directly to me and see if I won't chop them down!"

"When will you change your temper?" The old man in plain clothes was speechless. "Do you want that kid to be even more troubled?" After speaking, he looked ahead with a thoughtful expression and continued, "However, if he can really pull together a strong team over there, it would be great for the country of Glavale. In recent years, some countries with ulterior motives have been increasing their investment in Place of Darkness and sending some powerful figures from within their own systems over there for training. It's obvious what they're up to!"

"Mm!" Donald nodded slightly after taking a sip of tea. "Those countries are thriving over there and seeing Place of Darkness as their second war department. We should also pay attention to this area, can't be blindly arrogant."

"Yes!" The old man nodded his head.

After pausing briefly they changed topics.

"Oh right," the old man said, "I just received news that SHADOW's people completely wiped out Ink Pavilion's external base in the Eastern District."

"Hmm?" Donald paused slightly with his cigarette in hand. "Are you saying that he knows about what happened back then?"

"Even if he doesn't know the specific details, he probably has guessed most of it." The old man in said with a slightly serious expression.

"But it's better this way. We couldn't have kept it a secret for him forever, sooner or later, he would find out!"

"Those people were foolish back then and did something unacceptable. They thought they could get away with it without anyone noticing. It's really laughable!"

"I really want to see their reaction when that kid stands in front of them one day."

Donald slammed his teacup heavily on the coffee table and took a deep drag from his cigarette. "Heaven may forgive sins but man cannot live past them. They brought this upon themselves, so there's no one to blame!" Said he.

The old man nodded in agreement and added, "But now is not the time for him to come to the capital yet. Talk to him when you have some free time."

"I see." Donald nodded After taking another drag from his cigarette, he continued, "What do we do about Jake Hanson's position? Leaving it vacant for too long isn't good either, and Roderick Chasey can't control the East District anymore, there are already signs of things getting out of hand over there."

"The plan is still being discussed," replied the old man. "Some suggest dividing East District into two parts while others propose merging East District under West District's management."

"What do you think?" Donald asked.
