Chapter 1974


    “What?!”


    “Jade Benmore?! Didn’t she die from poisoning? How could she have killed them?”


    “Is it because that woman has been robbed of her position as Flying Eagles’mander, so she was


    angry and frantic and came here to go on a killing spree?”


    “How dare she! I always thought that she was a responsible and just woman, it turns out that it was all


    a lie! She put on a front for the people. She’s killed so many of us. Even her death will not be able to


    assuage her guilt!”


    The people who hade here were basically families of those from the government. These people


    usually sat on their high horses and didn’t ce any significance on others in their eyes. Though they


    also had some knowledge of the happenings in the ancient boundary, it didn’t raise their respect toward


    Jade.


    The daughter-inw from the Levine family turned to Darnic with red-rimmed eyes and said,


    “Commander Young, you’re now Flying Eagles’mander. All our sons who have died are your


    subordinates! There’s a murderer on the loose in a time of peace, going around killing people as they


    please. Aren’t you going to lead your people to bring Benmore to justice?”


    “Jade Benmore has a lot of achievements under her belt,” Darnic said. “Regardless of whether they are


    true or false, they are all registered with the Chief. Moreover, this person is amazingly powerful, and


    ordinary people aren’t her opponents at all. What more, when she left, she also took with her several


    powerful masters. With all of them gathered together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Oh, unless…”


    “Unless what?”


    “Unless the Chief gives the order to send armed troops to suppress her!”


    “That will not be a problem. We will contact all thirty six families and hold the Grand Conference.”

    On the other side, Jade and Alex brought Geronimo Melvis back to the Melvis family first.


    They didn’t know that Darnic was uniting countless families with important influences and nned to


    hold a Grand Conference and force the Chief to issue an order to form a crusade against Jade.


    It was only this moment that Alex discovered Nicks Dyer, who had worked diligently in the Melvis


    family for decades, was dead.


    This old man had once saved Brittany and her mother and also had cancer some time ago. It had taken


    considerable effort for Alex to save him, and it was unexpected that he would be beaten to death just a


    few months after.


    “Oh, Flying Eagles are so shameless. They actually acted so ruthlessly toward a weak man.”


    “What’s the use of having a department with people like this?”


    Jade’s face was flushed, and it felt as though she had been pped in the face. She had founded


    Flying Eagles. But, she had only been focused on the battlefield.


    Logistics, militaryws, ideologies, and everything else she had not bothered to participate in. Rather,


    she didn’t have the time to actually participate in them. The officials of the country were basically the


    ones in charge of this…


    She didn’t expect that there would be so many scums within Flying Eagles.


    Jade felt a bit awkward when she said, “Alex, you can’t say it like that. There are also a lot of good


    people in Flying Eagles.”


    Alex shook his head. “Master, I believe that there are good people in Flying Eagles, like Brother


    Butcher, Sister Bunty; these people are worth everyone’s respect. But among the troops in there, other


    than the ones who have followed you through thick and thin, there haven’t been many other good ones


    that I’ve seen.”


    “Think about it, the left-wing troop of the Lawrence family. Their entire team has be part of the


    Blood Cult.”


    “The things I saw today were worse than what bandits would have done. Master, Flying Eagles is rotten


    to the roots.”


    “Like an apple, once half of it has turned rotten, how long can the other halfst? Even if it’s not rotten


    now, it will slowly be swallowed and taken over by the rotten part.”


    Jade fell silent, unable to say anything else.


    Then, Alex gave Brittany a call to tell her that Nicks had passed on.


    Brittany was shocked and immediately said that she woulde over to pay herst respects to him.


    ***


    Nicks had stayed in the Melvis family all his life. To the Melvis family, he was considered a part of


    their family.


    Alex was grateful for the life-saving grace Nicks had shown his mother and grandmother and hoped


    to give him a grand funeral.


    Geronimo readily agreed to it. Even Lexia Rogers had nothing to say against it.


    The funeral hall was set up in Melvis Manor the same day.
