Chapter 1392: Chapter 1389

“Reflect on your actions!” Oliver Harris huffed angrily through his nostrils and, after glancing at Jackson Green, turned and left.

Is there anything else that needs to be said?

No one here is a fool.

Who couldn’t understand what happened?

“We’ve been played,” Jackson Green realized his own mistake by now but was too stubborn to admit it; it was all about saving face.

Surely one couldn’t merely admit their errors in front of everyone, right?

“Xiao Tian!” Song Peng stepped forward, “Mr. Walker is a once-in-a-generation national hero. The merger of the Dragon Division into the military really poses no issues.”

“Our resistance, our constant interference, already borders on serious misconduct.”

“Do you know why there hasn’t been any punishment?”

“It’s only because our boss is reasonable; he’s showing face for our sake!”

“Admitting a mistake is no big deal!”

To be honest, how could he not be proud?

But now, he was utterly convinced of Oliver Walker’s character and his unparalleled strength.

Surprisingly, Jackson Green did not argue back.

And the others from the Dragon Division didn’t express any opinions either.

For them, swallowing their pride was still a difficult pill to accept.

At the same time, in the Command Room of Ocean City Battalion,

“Jacob, it seems my men have indeed proven to be a difficult bunch to manage.”

“But rest assured, their loyalty to the pyramid is absolutely unquestionable.”

Oliver Harris found it embarrassing to repeat such assertions.

His face flushed red, awkwardness written all over it.

He had to ask himself, could his leadership truly be compared to that of Oliver Walker?

Even though the entire membership of the Dragon Division, few as they may be, didn’t amount to a thousand, he still hadn’t managed them well.

In comparison, how many were in the National Guard?

The declared number is a million, but in reality, it’s probably much more.

Such military discipline and order were indeed impressive.

“You and I are brothers, both serving the pyramid; let’s not talk like outsiders,” Oliver Walker said as he lit a cigarette and then pondered, “If I handed you those hundred Imperial Guards, how soon could you whip them into shape?”

“I mean, to have a combat power no less than that of the Dragon Division currently,”

“At the very least, it can’t be too far behind.”

The crisis posed by the ancient martial arts world was becoming more urgent by the day.

He truly feared that if one day they couldn’t hold the line, the pyramid would be ruled by a group of ancient martial artists.

Would ordinary people be able to live well then?

“Three months!”

“Three months at the least,” said Oliver Harris with furrowed brows. “They are already ancient warriors and their Cultivation isn’t bad. They just lack the tempering of their bodies with Spiritual Energy.”

“The precondition, of course, is that the Spiritual Energy in Dragon King Cave must be enough to support their body tempering.”

The pressure was indeed great.

Especially since the government had earlier placed the Dragon Division under military jurisdiction—a decision he didn’t understand—and now there was so much trouble brewing.

Considering internal factors, the Dragon Division was highly resistant to military oversight.

As for external factors, the Carter Company’s aggressive actions had already breached the non-aggressive pact that the pyramid authorities had signed with the major forces of the ancient martial arts world.

Maybe, they could handle the Carter Company.

At the most, it would cost a painful price, and wouldn’t let the secular world fall into the hands of the Carter Company.

But what about after that?

After Carter Company has made their move, might other powers like the Wang Family or the Li family also emerge?

“There’s no need to worry about the Spiritual Energy in Dragon King Cave. At a minimum, it can simultaneously support the tempering of thousands of ancient warriors.”

“What we need to do now is find suitable warriors to undergo tempering and ensure their loyalty.”

“Expand the Dragon Division’s ranks!”

“I’m entrusting the military’s strongest force to you. Don’t be too lenient anymore!” Oliver Walker said gravely, “Our every action will determine the future landscape of the pyramid.”

This was no laughing matter.

He couldn’t directly lead the Dragon Division, but Oliver Harris indeed seemed to be a good choice.

In terms of strength and prestige, he was more than qualified.
