Remus waved and walked away.Marten watched him leave, and only when Remus got further away did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.He quickly turned around, returned to the Dragon Team, and back to the secret room.He picked up the phone again and said seriously, "Remus probably hasn't figured out I have anything to do with this. Right now, he's just thinking that someone within the Dragon Team might be targeting him!"He made this conclusion based on their conversation just now.The person on the other end of the line slowly asked, "Anything else?"Marten said, "I promised him that we would find out who was behind it, but I didn't give him a time. I plan to wait a while and find someone to take the blame, claiming they were jealous of Miranda."This reasoning was quite sensible, as the speed of Miranda's promotion was out of this world.In just six months, she went from being a member of the Dragon Team to acting team leader—a feat unprecedented and unlikely to happen again.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in Darsia's top office suddenly became tense. It was as if the air itself had solidified, making it hard for everyone to breathe.Remus and Kaiser met each other's eyes.Even though it was just a simple sentence, it took on a much more serious tone when it came from Remus. It was filled with probing, suspicion, and perhaps even a touch of irony.But who could say for sure if he would actually take action? And if he did make a move, would Kaiser truly have the power to resist?At that moment, even Darsia's situation was influenced by their conversation.A whole minute passed before Kaiser suddenly laughed and straightforwardly asked, "Are you talking about the golden light? Do you think that golden light is my power?"That was right! When Remus spoke, there was always a deeper meaning. In all of Darsia, there was nothing the Dragon Team didn't know and nothing it hadn't documented.If something was missing, it meant someone had i
The president was a position that would be recorded in history and remembered for generations!However, Remus had no interest at all and chuckled. "I don't even have time to spend with my wife, let alone be the president of the country."After speaking, he opened the door and left.Right after he left, the office door opened again. Elmer walked in from outside, looking extremely disheveled. He appeared as if he had been caught in a downpour, drenched in sweat from fright.He said with difficulty, "Mr. President, being so honest with him is too risky. If he really intends to take action against you, no one will be able to stop him!"Elmer had been standing outside the door the whole time. When he heard Kaiser say that the golden light couldn't be used by one individual, his blood ran cold.Given Remus' disposition, who could predict what he might do next?Kaiser chuckled. "You all thought too narrowly about Remus, and so did I. He truly has no intention of becoming the president.
The conference room suddenly fell silent.Everyone felt upset, but they didn't dare to object. Miranda had Remus backing her up, after all.However, everyone exchanged glances, trying to figure out a way to get her to withdraw this rule. Needing her approval for a mere ten thousand dollars of expenses was really too troublesome."The second point is that starting today, all sponsorships within the Dragon Team will be handed over to the finance department for centralized management and distribution."This includes sponsorships received by different departments and teams."As soon as those words were spoken, everyone started talking at once."What?""Ms. Bowen, you can't!""This… This sponsorship is for all our departments!"Everyone became agitated at once. Needing Miranda's approval for their expenses of over ten thousand was still tolerable, especially considering they had sponsors.In the Dragon Team, they had members who were from influential families. These members brough
More protests rang out.Sweat trickled down Miranda's cheek. They were right—she wanted to control individuals within the team to better identify the other influences within the Dragon Team.It was also very clear that doing this carried significant risks, and even a small mistake could backfire. But she had no choice!Her expression darkened, and she said seriously, "Let me emphasize once more—this isn't a discussion but an announcement…""Miranda Bowen!"Before she could finish speaking, another deputy leader stood up angrily. "Don't forget that you're not the official leader. You're just the acting leader for now, so don't overstep!"Another captain also said, "That's right, you're not the official team leader yet. You need to learn to restrain yourself."Even though you have the mighty Thunderous God of War's backing, you can't just do whatever you want within the Dragon Team!"More and more people were speaking up. They were finding it harder to control their emotions.Ir
Although Marten said it casually, it sounded completely different to everyone listening.Marten was essentially helping himself by choosing everyone else's side!Someone instantly couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You might be impressive as an acting leader, Miranda, but what are you worth now that the real leader is back?"Others immediately started laughing as well, openly watching Miranda. Seeing the conflicted expression on her face, they felt very amused, and their gazes became increasingly teasing.Miranda didn't look at them, nor did she care about their opinions. What she cared most about was that the rule had to be enforced.If it couldn't be enforced, there would be no way to find out who was targeting Remus. There would be no way to find out who was targeting Kaiser, either!Right away, she said, "Mr. Dragon…"Marten slammed the conference table forcefully and said in a cold tone, "What's so funny? What are you all laughing at? This is a meeting. Keep it serious.
Elmer? He was the president's personal bodyguard. His presence often represented the president himself. Why was he here?Under everyone's gaze, Elmer said, "On the president's behalf, I'm here to announce a personnel appointment!"He cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Starting today, the leader of the Dragon Team, Marten Dragon, will be transferred to another position. Miranda Bowen will be taking over as the new leader of the Dragon Team!"He spoke as he walked past Marten and approached Miranda, taking out an appointment letter."This is an appointment letter personally signed by the president. Congratulations, Ms. Bowen!"Hearing this, everyone in the meeting room was stunned.What was going on? Did they hear that wrong?Marten was transferred, and Miranda had become the leader of the Dragon Team. How was this even possible?Sure, Miranda was the acting leader, but it was unbelievable that she was now the official leader. Her promotion speed was beyond comprehension.
Everyone once again quieted down and even held their breath, feeling lost.No one moved. Instead, they all looked at each other in confusion. Eventually, their eyes involuntarily fell on Marten.The reason they dared to confront Miranda before primarily came down to two reasons.One was that she was just the acting leader, and no one knew if she would be made the official leader.Two was that even though she had the powerful Thunderous God of War backing her, even Remus could not act recklessly within the Dragon Team. There were rules to follow, and it was impossible to disregard them completely.But the reality seemed different from what they thought.Remus didn't care about the rules at all. He had the influence to promote her to the position of team leader and was even willing to approach the president to have him officially appoint her.It was no exaggeration to say that she now had the backing not just of Remus, but also the president.Who dared to defy her?The most cruc
