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
The others nodded in agreement."You guys are unbelievable..." Marten's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.He was inwardly cursing them. These people were the ones protesting the loudest just a moment ago. Yet, now they were analyzing things to put Miranda in a good light. Did they have no shame?Was there really not a strong and spirited man in the Dragon Team who would step up and oppose her? Even if they didn't oppose her, they should still say her decision was unreasonable!At that moment, a team leader who worked in the office suddenly slammed the table, his face filled with anger.The sudden sound startled everyone. They quickly looked over, eyes wide with shock. Who would dare to slam the table at a time like this? Did they have a death wish?In contrast, Marten's eyes instantly regained their brightness, and a look of anticipation quickly spread across his face.This person's opposition proved that there were still people in the Dragon Team willing to take a stand!
Meanwhile, Remus had returned to the Cosby residence. Despite feeling extremely uneasy, he knew that whether it was a blessing or a disaster, he couldn't avoid it. He couldn't avoid them his whole life.It was the same scenario as before.They sat in the main hall, their eyes fixed intensely on Remus as he walked in from outside.The murderous intent emanating from them was unmistakable. If it could take physical form, he would have already been slashed a thousand times.Remus felt a tingle on his scalp from being stared at, but he could tolerate it.After all, there used to be five and then four girls, but now there were only three of them left, so it was somewhat easier.Remus cautiously walked into the main hall with a smile on his face. "Ladies, please don't look at me like that. It makes me nervous."I assure you that I will be by your side at every moment in the coming days, and I promise not to leave even for a second. If I break this promise…"He didn't know what to say
Jean, Kylie, and Husan were all fully geared up, wearing sunglasses and masks to avoid being recognized on the road. Because if they were recognized, it would cause a stir.It was approaching the evening when they finally made it to Neptuna.As soon as they got there, they realized they couldn't keep going. The streets were jam-packed, and there were crowds of onlookers on both sides.At the very front, there was even a barricade. The road was closed.Remus wasn't in a hurry, anyway. Maybe there was an inspection going on.Or, perhaps the road was closed because a celebrity was out and about. Even though he was strongly against such behavior, it was impossible to completely prevent it.They waited for half an hour, but there seemed to be no signs of the road closure being lifted. On the contrary, traffic congestion was getting worse, now stretching for over ten miles.Kylie was getting impatient, already thinking about having Remus cook a meal for her once they got back to Imper
