Chapter 34: Rejected

at black and white means Our contract took effect a long time ago!""Well, even an effective contract can be voided! At worst, Dongzhou Commercial Building will just pay you some liquidated damages!" L...>

"Even so, there are still some people with ulterior motives who stab him in the back. They have nothing better to do all day and run around complaining!" The old man in plain clothes continued.

"He is accused of forming cliques, excluding dissidents, amassing troops, and plotting to rebel against the throne!"

And most ironically, some people actually believe these nonsense words!

"You said, if it were you, wouldn't you have any thoughts"

"Hmm" The elderly man in Tang suit frowned. "Who told you that"

"When you have nothing to do, get out more and don't stay cooped up in your yard all day!" The old man in plain clothes glared at him with disapproval: "If you keep this up, you'll be cut off from the world."

"These things have been circulating in the capital for a long time!"

Even so, he couldn't just quit, could he” another elder spoke.

"Although the west is currently stable, other borders of the land are still under threat, and there are still many places where his efforts are needed!"

And, the Bloodshadow Squad was hand-built by him. The four of them, Azure Dragon included, only recognized him. No one else could possibly gain their trust!

If he resigns, who will lead the Bloodshadow Team

"You only know that he abandoned his post, but have you ever thought about why he did that" the old man in plain clothes continued to ask.

"What do you mean Didn't you say he quit because he was upset" the elderly man in a Tang suit retorted impatiently.

"So I'm saying, you lot never actually cared about him!" the old man in plain clothes glared at the old man in Tang suit.

He fought bravely for our country on the enemy's territory, but his own daughter was kidnapped by those scum he protected, and they are going to use her heart for a transplant on some other child!

"What would you do if you were in that situation!"

"What!" At his words, everyone present exclaimed in unison.

Smack!

One middle-aged man slapped the conference table with all his might and stood up, his body radiating killing intent as he roared angrily.

"What a bastard! What kind of person did this You tell me, I'll **ing exterminate his entire clan!"

"Alright, remember your position. Don't just casually talk about exterminating entire clans. Do you think you're still that soldier fighting on the front lines" The commoner elder glared at the other person.

"I don't care about any of this!" the middle-aged man continued to roar. "Someone actually dared to do such a beastly thing! I must make him pay!"

"Old Tang, you have to tell me, who did this I'll bring people to find him right away!"

"Alright, sit down for me!" At that moment, the elder seated at the head of the table spoke in a deep voice.

Then, he turned to the old man in plain clothes: "Elder Tang, I was just about to ask you about this. He shouldn't be married yet, right How did he suddenly have a daughter"

"Someone else gave birth to him!" The elderly man surnamed Tang shrugged.

“Cough…” The elder coughed.

Damn it, of course I know it was someone else who gave birth to it for him! Does he think he can give birth himself!

"So, what about his daughter now Is she alright" He then took a sip of tea and didn't dwell on the question of who the child belonged to anymore.

"Hmm!" the elderly man surnamed Tang nodded.

"Alright! You are in charge of going to him and telling him that his resignation report is not approved. We will grant him a three-month leave of absence so he can spend more time with his family. He should return to the capital after three months!"

The elder at the head of the table put down his teacup and continued, "Furthermore, during his vacation, he is fully responsible for all matters pertaining to the Shadow Gate. If anything goes wrong, he alone will be held accountable!"

Meeting adjourned!

After finishing his words, he stood up and walked to the door. Turning back, he said to Tang Lao, "Tang Lao, come with me!"

One minute later, the two arrived at the corridor.

"Old Tang, I know you care a lot about that boy!" the elder said as he walked.

But his edges are still too sharp, he needs to be polished more. After all, this country is counting on him to shoulder the heavy burden in the future!

"But some people's actions are too heartless!" the elderly man surnamed Tang responded in a low voice. "They just spend all day doing nothing and know how to use underhanded tactics!"

"You don't have any faith in that boy He can't even handle such a small matter, so what about the future" The elder at the head paused for a moment before continuing.

"You're being delusional! With that boy's skills and abilities, how many people in the entire country could possibly defeat him"

"I just can't stand the way some people act!" the elderly man surnamed Tang responded coldly.

"Alright! Don't mind them anymore!" The elder continued, "By the way, isn't Lu Zhenzhou in charge of things over in the east now"

"Mmm!" The elderly man surnamed Tang nodded. "After Zheng Dongyang's incident, the position of Eastern Border King has been vacant, and Vice-Chief Luo Zhenzhou is temporarily in full charge!"

"You give him a call and have him set up a time to visit that kid. Tell him to do whatever he needs to, fully cooperate!" the elder at the head continued.

"You old geezer, are you trying to say something else besides just wanting a drink" The elderly man surnamed Tang said angrily after hearing the other party's words.

He was very clear that with that kid's skills and abilities, on that patch of land in Dongzhou, he didn't need anyone else's help. It was more likely that the kid would be helping others!

"Hehehe…" The elderly man at the front chuckled awkwardly, "Nothing can escape your eyes!"

According to my understanding, a group of dissident elements from abroad infiltrated the country these two days.

"If things go well, the target should be Dongzhou. They're supposedly very strong, and with Luo Zhenzhou's current forces, it might be a bit difficult!"

"I knew you old man wasn't being sincere!" The elder surnamed Tang glared at the other person: "Who exactly What are they doing in Dongzhou"

"I haven't learned about the other party's details, but it can be certain that they are from the dark world abroad!" The elder at the head shook his head slightly: "They are going for that girl from the Luo family!"

"Hmm!" The elderly man with the surname Tang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wasn't that girl from the Luo family abroad How did she end up in Dongzhou"

"A while back, our people were ambushed while on a mission abroad. They contacted that girl from the Luo family, and she led her people to the rescue, killing all of them!"

It was because of this that she offended the opposing faction. Their lair was raided, and she was severely injured.

“However, luckily we managed to escape in the end and were rescued by our people. We were escorted back home two days ago.”

“Then why didn’t she return to her home in the capital and instead run off to Dongzhou What’s she doing there with nothing better to do” The elderly man surnamed Tang said helplessly.

Even she can't handle this force, could Luo Zhenzhou protect her safety She's being too naive...

Mid-sentence, as if suddenly realizing something, he furrowed his brow and turned to look at the elder at the head of the group.

"Did you intentionally send her to Dongzhou" day before yesterday afternoon, a duty officer was punished by military law simply because he took a nap, which only then made them pay enough attention.Quack! Quack! Quack!In a moment, three screech...
