Chapter 582 - Biggest Disaster of the War? (1/2)
”You...” Alkori glared at Izroth as he moved his hand towards the weapon at his side.
Tonne was flabbergasted by Izroth's rude behavior. He was a Manager of the Resource Management Division! While he was not as strong as those at this table, his ability to allocate resources required that they show him a certain level of respect at all times. Who did this brat think he was daring to utter such outrageous words?!
However, just as the atmosphere started to become tense,
booming laughter resonated throughout the conference tent.
”Bwahahaha! You sure brought an interesting one along, Solomon! Alkori, Tonne—this is far enough, don't you think? The real enemy is outside this camp, not within. Do you two really have that much time to waste on managing your fickle pride?” This voice came from the Rosentarus representative.
The Rosentarus representative was a well-toned woman of the Zensana race who belonged to the rabbit sub-species. However, the woman's appearance mostly resembled that of a human's, with her only defining Zensana traits being the rabbit ears atop her head and the small tail at her lower back.
NPC Name: Rosentarus Ten Beast Guardian, d.u.c.h.ess(???)
NPC Level: ???
”This is none of your concern, woman!” Alkori snapped back.
”I'm making it my concern, though?” d.u.c.h.ess replied with a narrowed gaze.
”Then, I-!”
”Enough.” A deep and cold voice sounded, causing everyone in the tent to fall silent.
”My decision is final in this matter. Now, I want to begin the conference—is there anyone who wishes to object?” Solomon gave off a heavy pressure as he spoke.
A few seconds of silence went by as no one raised any objections.
”Good. I hereby announce that the conference begins.” Solomon said with a friendly smile as the heavy pressure vanished without a trace.
”Tch...” Alkori had a look of displeasure on his face as he glared menacingly at Izroth one last time before turning his focus forward.
'Meaningless.'
Izroth would not sit back and allow himself to be bullied by anyone, regardless of their ident.i.ty. As long as Alkori did not attempt something foolish, then Izroth planned to let this matter rest here. After all, there was no benefit in fighting one's own ally.
Aurie inwardly sighed. This Izroth was too reckless. Getting on the wrong side of the Pzenium mercenaries leader and the Resource Management Division Manager would bring him no advantages. However, she understood Izroth's temperament well from their previous encounter with one another. Of course, she also knew that this was necessary for Izroth if he wanted to gain any kind of foothold in the overall conversation.
Solomon carried on the meeting and listed the topics at hand. There was a particular topic that needed to be addressed instantly, and for this, all eyes fell onto one individual—the War Intelligence Group Lead Agent.
NPC Name: War Intelligence Group Lead Agent Soothing Smoke(???)
NPC Level: ???
”Soothing Smoke, I am sure you are already aware of the incompetence that has been demonstrated by the War Intelligence Group these past several days. If it were a minor slip-up, I could overlook it. But as a result of your inability, we have lost the lives of thousands of soldiers. What do you have to say for yourself?” Solomon stated as he maintained a calm exterior, but there was a hidden rage present in his words and demeanor.
Solomon had lost one of the Commanders under him, and another was gravely injured. How could he not be furious?
The one called Soothing Smoke wore a black cloak that completely hid their physical features—this was a common appearance among the agents of the War Intelligence Group.
”It was an oversight on our end.” Soothing Smoke replied.
Bang!
”Don't screw with me! An oversight on your end? Is that all you have to say?! Because of you, I lost many brothers!” Alkori erupted as he angrily slammed his fist on the table and jumped to his feet.
