“Ah?” Stout eximed this time.


    “How could you guys be so fickle? Didn’t you promise to let boss take the position of General Wilson? Although Casey is also capable of taking this position, if we give it to Casey, what will boss do? Be the master of SHADOW? You guys are too…”


    “Shut up!” Ivy interrupted Stout in time and gave him a fierce re.


    “I’m just telling the truth! They can’t treat boss like this. It’s not fair…” Stout smacked his lips and continued speaking.


    Before he finished his sentence, he felt a pain in the back of his head.


    “If you don’t shut up now, get out!” Ivy red at him again. Then she looked somewhat embarrassedly at Milo Guzman, “Elder Guzman, he has no filter on his mouth. Please don’t mind.”


    “Haha! The big guy is straightforward. I like it!” Milo Guzmanughed heartily.


    “Elder Guzman, do you have other arrangements for Billy?” Ivy continued to ask Milo Guzman.


    “Well done, Ivy, we indeed have other arrangements for Commander Gardner.” Urban Woolery smiled and said, “But we can’t reveal them yet. You’ll know in a few days.”


    “How mysterious.” Stout pouted.


    “Commander Gardner, what do you think about their arrangement for Casey?” Cole Wilson asked.


    “I have no objection,” Billy responded with a smile.


    For Casey and others, this was great news; they wouldn’t object. Casey’s abilities were barely enough to take on the role as suprememander of the War Department; even though there were some areas where they still fell short but with four elders above them there would not be any problems. Moreover, Four War Departments’manders were all brothers themselves; working together would not pose any problem.


    As for that person from the Central District since Cole Wilson did not mention anything about him naturally nobody would ask either. He believed that sooner orter there would be an exnation regarding this matter; it might just need some time.


    “Haha! Great!” Milo Guzmanughed and said, “General Wilson, then please arrange for appointment letters soon so that after weing National Prosperity arrives they can officially take office.”


    “Okay!” Cole Wilson nodded vigorously.


    “What’s the second thing you wanted to talk about, Minister Woolery?” Ivy asked, after refilling everyone’s tea.


    “Commander Gardner, have you heard of the Guardians?” Urban Woolery took a sip of his tea.


    “Hmm?” Billy was slightly taken aback. He had heard of the Guardians before in ce of Darkness and had even crossed paths with them a few times. The matter regarding the Guardians was also a question in his mind. He had asked Adam Greenleaf before but got little information from him.


    Originally, he nned to wait for the arrival of National Destiny and then go back to Ether Mountain to ask his grandfather face-to-face.


    “I’ve only heard of the name ‘the Guardians,’ Prime Minister. I don’t know anything else about them,” Billy said after hesitating for a moment.


    “Have you ever heard of ‘Pr Domain’, Commander Gardner?” Urban Woolery continued asking him.


    “Pr Domain? No, I’ve never heard of it!” Billy shook his head again in confusion as did Ivy and her brother beside him who were hearing this name for the first time too.


    “The Pr Domain is simr to ce Of Darkness,” Stout asked.


    “You could say that.” Urban Woolery nodded in response. “Pr Domain is also known as Pr Snow Domain which is one of the most unique worlds on this!”


    At this point, Urban Woolery’s expression became slightly serious as he continued exining, “It’s also where some true powerhouses gather.”


    “Minister Woolery, are you saying that Pr Domain is stronger than ce Of Darkness?” Stout asked again.


    “Compared with Pr Territory, ce Of Darkness can only be considered child’s y.” Milo Guzmanughed and exined, “Even if we take out their strongest person, Death, from ce Of Darkness into Pr Domain, they would not even be considered average level there!”


    Stout gasped at this revtion while both Billy and Ivy wore expressions full of surprise on their faces too.


    Milo Guzman’s words meant that most people in Pr Domain were above Sovereign realm.


    “Minister Woolery, where is it located?” Ivy lifted her teacup and took a sip. “Besides being a gathering ce for strong individuals, is there anything else special about it?”


    “As the name suggests, it’s located in the pr region of this.” Urban Woolery replied as he lifted his own teacup.


    “Itsnd area is also muchrger than that of ce of Darkness, upying almost ten percent of this.” he continued after taking a sip of tea.


    “There, you can find thest purend on this buried under ice and snow with abundant natural resources.”


    “A hundred years ago, all countries in the world reached an agreement that Pr Snow Region would be considered public property and no country could exploit its natural resources without permission.”


    “For this reason, an organization was established, what you have heard as ‘the Guardians’, to ensurepliance with these rules.”


    “I see!” Stout responded. “So the original purpose behind forming ‘the Guardians’ was to prevent anyone from destroying Pr Snow Region’s natural ecosystem?”


    “Yes,” Urban Woolery nodded in response.


    “A hundred years ago all countries were following these rules. Even if there were some who broke them asionally they ultimately faced punishment from ‘the Guardians.''”


    “Minister Woolery, are you saying that over recent decades these agreements have been broken?” Billy put down his teacup and asked.


    “That’s right!” Urban nodded again.


    “With elerated modernization processes among humans on this came serious damage to our ecological environment everywhere except for Pr Snow Region which remained untouched by human hands.”


    “However, many countries began exploiting their own resources excessively leading to depletion. Their reserves will onlyst another century at most.”


    “Are some countries starting to set their sights on Pr Snow Region now?” Ivy furrowed her eyebrows slightly as she spoke up again.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “Yes,” Urban nodded once more.


    “If humans aren’t restrained then eventually our natural resources will dry uppletely so many Western nations have turned their attention towards Pr Snow Region now.” Pr Snow Region may only upy ten percent of this but its total amount of hidden natural resources rivals those found in other ny percent areas elsewhere on Earth.”


    “That sounds pretty exaggerated,” Stoutmented while smacking his lips.


    “Since a hundred years ago, several major Western countries have been itching to expand their territories, with Northfortia and Xidengia leading the charge.” Urban continued, “At first, they were cautious and only sent people to extract natural resources before leaving.”


    “But in recent decades, they are no longer satisfied with this approach. They want to directly divide the territory in the pr snowfields.” He exined.


    “Don’t the Guardians do anything about it?” Stout blurted.
