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
The loud and abrupt sound broke the silence. Immediately, everyone turned around to look, attracted by the sound of the car horn.Their eyes were filled with astonishment. Sounding their car horn in front of Anthony? Did they have a death wish?"Hey, what are you doing?"The driver next to him was also terrified. He may have expressed his dissatisfaction just now, but he wouldn't dare to do it in front of Anthony. That would be the same as courting death.Remus' hand was still on the car horn. The noise was getting more and more piercing.The convoy that was about to make a turn finally stopped.The bodyguards standing on both sides of the Hummer quickly jumped off the vehicles. Soon after, the doors swung open too, and a large number of bodyguards emerged from inside the cars.Seeing this scene, everyone on the road gasped in shock. Some of the more timid individuals had already begun to quietly retreat, fearing they might get caught up in the crossfire.The Rolls-Royce's door
The surrounding onlookers screamed in fear."You still dare to resist?" said Gilbert as he glared. "You scoundrel, I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight!"He then called for more bodyguards to come forward."Wait!" Anthony suddenly spoke. He gave Kylie a hard look but didn't recognize her, then said, "Just leave it at that. Let's go!"That sentence caught everyone off guard. Were they really leaving already?Remus and the others also frowned."Dragon Head!" Gilbert spoke agitatedly. "He has offended you. How can you just let him off the hook? If we leave like this, what about your and the Thunderous God of War's reputations?""Let's just go!" Anthony spoke in a low voice and then turned around to leave first.Kylie, Jean, and Husan looked at Remus. Now was his turn to speak after remaining silent all along.Remus indeed wanted to speak up when Remus honked the horn. But now, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.The reason was simple—Anthony had risked his life t
As soon as these words were spoken, the startled crowd quickly retreated.What did he call the Dragon Head? Anthony? How long had it been since anyone dared to call the Dragon Head by his name?Remus not only physically hit his bodyguards but even called the Dragon Head by his name! Was he crazy?"What did you say? Can you repeat that?" Gilbert screamed furiously. "You must be out of your mind! In all of Darsia, no one dares to address the Dragon Head like that. You just wait and see!"In an instant, Anthony slapped Gilbert hard enough to make him spurt blood.While others couldn't recognize Remus' voice, Anthony could. His whole body felt numb, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.Without thinking any further, he quickly ran over."Get lost!" Remus squeezed out a word through clenched teeth, indicating he didn't want to see him.Upon hearing that, Anthony immediately froze in place, as if he were a child who didn't know what he had done wrong."Dragon Head, why did you hit m
