Chapter 1106 - Multi-party Linkage (2/2)

“… Yawn… got it.”

After hearing his report, the woman yawned again before leaning on the chair. Then, she tapped her fingers across the keyboard and the holographic images of the two young ladies appeared before her. She scanned their faces and closed her eyes after a few moments.

“By the way, have you reached their parents? How did it go?”

“This…”

The man revealed a somewhat discontent expression for the first time.

“… Reporting, Major. The families have responded. They don’t have any specific requests apart from sufficient compensation…”

The man was angered at the immediate thought of it. This wasn’t the first time he experienced something similar. In the past, families requested for ‘search and rescue’ of their kin, begging to see the person if they were alive or body if they were dead. Some families had even berated them in agitation. However, the man tolerated them. After all, they were families of the victims and couldn’t be blamed for their frustrations. On the contrary, these two families didn’t have any reaction at all upon learning that their girls went missing. Not only that, but they also couldn’t wait to hang up on the phone after dealing with them in mere formalities. This left him really dissatisfied.

“… Is that so…”

The woman nodded, shut her eyes to ponder for a moment, and said, “Get one squad ready. I will lead them personally for the search and rescue.”

“… Huh?”

Everyone was taken aback.

“Major, are you sure you’re going alone? Besides, earlier on the Americas Region is…”

“Our people are missing. Since they can’t offer any help, it is only natural for us to deploy ourselves… yawn… this also doesn’t violate the moon alliance agreement… yawn…”

“That… indeed doesn’t violate the agreement. But…”

After hearing the woman’s words, everyone revealed complicated expressions. Well, they couldn’t be blamed. Even though the countries that landed on the moon had signed the moon alliance agreement and worked out mutual rules, it was a pity that unless the world was unified into one nation, many agreements were completely blank. Therefore, although everyone raised the banner of ‘all human beings work together to develop the universe’, as for what was happening in private… Everyone knew the truth.

The deep-rooted bad habits of humans…

“Report to the higher-ups that I will be leading this ‘search and rescue’ and that is all… Yawn… I’m exhausted; I will head back to sleep. Gather the squad and we’ll head to the Americas Region in five hours. No matter what those girls are our civilians and we must be accountable. Besides, we can also investigate the internal affairs of the Americas Region along the way… By the way, after receiving the approval from above, inform the Americas Region’s headquarters of our visit. Since we’re heading there as guests, we must be well-mannered to inform them beforehand.”

“Yes, Major!”

Since the woman had given the orders, her subordinates couldn’t rebut anymore. Shortly after, they got to work and at this moment, the woman leaned on the chair and gazed at the holographic image before her silently. Then, a man in blue uniform approached her and asked softly.

“Major, do you know who the young ladies are?”

“… I’ve spent some time with them in the past. They’re decent girls.”

The woman stood up and extended her arm. Shortly after, the image transformed into a hologram and in the blink of an eye, the display of that enormous dragon raging on the moon appeared before her again. She stared at the dragon silently. After a few moments, she shifted her gaze away from the hologram.

“Alright then, I will head to bed. Wake me up after five hours,” she said.
