Female Novel
Chapter 670
Now that war had broken out once more, their people’s livelihoods must have suffered tremendously.
“Henry, what’s your take on this? Why did the twenty-eight nations attack Sol?” James looked at Henry.
Although Henry’s injuries had not recovered fully, he was now able to walk. With war breaking out in
the Southern Plains, he followed James here.
Henry thought long and hard about this. After a while, he said, “I think something’s amiss. They justified
their war goal by pointing to the lives that were lost in the hijacking incident. I think someone must have
arranged for it.”
James nodded.
Henry’s analysis was spot on.
“Who do you think it is, then? What’s their objective?” James questioned. “The one behind the scenes
should know that, despite entering into an alliance, the military power of the twenty-eight nations
combined is no match for Sol. They should understand that once Sol gets its act together, crushing the
twenty-eight nations is but a piece of cake.”
Saying that, he gazed at the generals.
“Don’t just stand there. Share your thoughts.”
Hearing this, the generals looked at one another. They remained silent as they believed they were not
in the position to comment on the matter, given its severity.
Henry continued, “Since it all began with the hijacking incident, I suggest getting to the bottom of it.
Once we understand the chain of events that led to the incident and the identity of the one behind the
scenes, solving the current border crisis should be much easier.”
James looked at Levi and asked, “So, have you got to the bottom of this?”
Levi nodded. “Yes. After receiving orders from the higher-ups, I personally conducted an investigation
into the matter. However, there were no survivors. Not only that, many among the dead were influential
people from the enemy’s nations.”
Saying that, he handed a file to James.
“These are the findings of the investigation.”
James opened the file. Then, he frowned. “You didn’t find out who was behind it?”
Levi shook his head. “Not yet.”
James took a deep breath and put the file down.
Looking at the generals in the conference room, he said in an air of finality, “Sol is not afraid of war.
However, that doesn’t mean we’ll be manipulated and used as pawns. Find out the whole truth about
the hijacking incident as soon as possible. You can start with investigating the background of the
deceased.”
Levi said dejectedly, “But, these are people from the enemy nations. This constitutes transnational law
enforcement. Under current circumstances, all nations have canceled their international lines to Sol.”
Hearing this, James was lost in contemplation.
After some time, he stood up and left the conference room.
Then, he pulled his phone out and called May.
“James, aren’t you at the Southern Plains right now? Is there anything I can help you with?”
James instructed, “Order the ones who are in charge of protecting Thea to abort their mission and
make their way to the Southern Plains immediately. I have other missions for them.”
“Understood.”
May hung up the phone and contacted the other assassins.
James returned to the conference room and continued the meeting.
The situation on the battlefield was critical.
Last night, the Southern Plains City had fallen to the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations.
The Black Dragon army suffered huge casualties and was forced to retreat.
After occupying the city, the enemy forces did not pursue them any further.
James had decided it would be best to not act rashly at the moment.
They would hold down the fort in Lavender Town. If the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations
continued their assault, they would meet them in battle. At the same time, James had ordered his men
to swiftly conduct a thorough investigation into the hijacking incident to find out the identity of the one
behind the scenes.
May and the others soon arrived.
They reached Lavender Town in just a few hours.
In the military region…
The assassins stood before James, who was in his Black Dragon robe with a five-star badge on it.
They looked at him in awe and admiration. Although they were assassins, they deeply admired James.
May asked, “James, what are your orders?”
James handed them some documents.
They opened them.novelbin
They were photos of the deceased in the hijacking incident.
James instructed, “The deceased in the photos belong to the enemy nations. I want you to find a way
to sneak into the enemy nations and find out who they were in contact with before they visited Sol. This
is of utmost priority.”
May looked at James and asked, “James, are you officially recruiting us into the Black Dragon army?”
James gave a slight smile. “If the mission becomes a resounding success, why not? Get going now
and investigate the matter. However, remember that surviving is the most important thing of all.”
“Understood.”
“We’ll accomplish the mission.”
