Chapter 670


    Now that war had broken out once more, their people‘s livelihoods must have suffered tremendously.


    “Henry, what‘s your take on this? Why did the twenty–eight nations attack Sol?” James looked at


    Henry.


    Although Henry‘s injuries had not recovered fully, he was now able to walk. With war breaking out in


    the Southern ins, he followed Jaines here.


    Henry thought long and hard about this. After a while, he said, “I think something‘s amiss. They justified


    their war goal by pointing to the lives that were lost in the hijacking incident. I think someone must have


    arranged for it.”


    James nodded.


    Henry‘s analysis was spot on. “Who do you think it is, then? What‘s their objective?” James questioned.


    “The one behind the scenes should know that, despite entering into an alliance, the military power of


    the twenty–eight nationsbined is no match for Sol. They should understand that once Sol gets its


    act together, crushing the twenty–eight nations is but a piece of cake.”


    Saying that, he gazed at the generals “Don‘t just stand there. Share your thoughts.”


    Hearing this, the generals looked at one another. They remained silent as they believed they were not


    in the position toment on the matter, given its severity. Henry continued, “Since it all began with


    the hijacking incident, I suggest getting to the bottom of it. Once we understand the chain of events that


    led to the incident and the identity of the one behind the scenes, solving the current border crisis should


    be much easier.”

    James looked at Levi and asked, “So, have you got to the bottom of this?”


    Levi nodded. “Yes. After receiving orders from the higher–ups, I personally conducted an investigation


    into the matter. However, there were no survivors. Not only that, many among the dead were influential


    people from the enemy‘s nations.”


    Saying that, he handed a file to James. “These are the findings of the investigation.” James opened the


    file. Then, he frowned. “You didn‘t find out who was behind it?” Levi shook his head. “Not yet.” James


    took a deep breath and put the file down. Looking at the generals in the conference room, he said in an


    air of finality, “Sol is not afraid of war. However, that doesn‘t mean we‘ll be manipted and used as


    pawns. Find out the whole truth about the hijacking incident as soon as possible. You can start with


    investigating the background of the deceased.”


    Levi sald dejectedly, “But, these are people from the enemy nations. This constitutes


    transnationalw enforcement. Under current circumstances, all nations have canceled their


    international lines to Sol.”


    Hearing this, James was lost in contemtion.


    After some time, he stood up and left the conference room.


    Then, he pulled his phone out and called May. “James, aren‘t you at the Southern ins right now? Is


    there anything I can help you with?”


    James instructed, “Order the ones who are in charge of protecting Thea to abort their mission and


    make their way to the Southern ins immediately. I have other missions for them.” “Understood.”


    May hung up the phone and contacted the other assassins. James returned to the conference room


    and continued the meeting. The situation on the battlefield was critical. Last night, the Southern ins


    City had fallen to the allied forces of the twenty–eight nations. The ck Dragon army suffered huge


    casualties and was forced to retreat. After upying the city, the enemy forces did not pursue them


    any further. James had decided it would be best to not act rashly at the moment. They would hold down


    the fort in Lavender Town. If the allied forces of the twenty–eight nations continued their assault, they


    would meet them in battle. At the same time, James had ordered his men to swiftly conduct a thorough


    investigation into the hijacking incident to find out the identity of the one behind the scenes.


    May and the others soon arrived. They reached Lavender Town in just a few hours. In the military


    region... The assassins stood before James, who was in his ck Dragon robe with a five–star badge


    on it. They looked at him in awe and admiration. Although they were assassins, they deeply admired


    James.


    May asked, “James, what are your orders?”


    James handed them some documents. They opened them. They were photos of the deceased in the


    hijacking incident. James instructed, “The deceased in the photos belong to the enemy nations. I want


    you to find a way to sneak into the enemy nations and find out who they were in contact with before


    they visited Sol. This is of utmost priority.” May looked at James and asked, “James, are you officially


    recruiting us into the ck Dragon army?”


    James gave a slight smile. “If the mission bes a resounding sess, why not? Get going now


    and investigate the matter. However, remember that surviving is the most important thing of all.”


    “Understood.”


    “We‘ll aplish the mission.”
