Currently, the atmosphere in the conference room was much more depressing than the time before Zakhar arrived.
Jaguar, Galeno, and Baldrick's expressions were gloomy.
There was pin drop silence in the conference room.
Cannon coughed lightly and his voice broke the silence, "General Xu, will the meeting continue?"
Jaguar halted for a while and then said in a deep voice, "Let's continue with the rescue plan just now. We..."
Seeing this, everyone was a little stunned. After all, Zakhar had made it clear that he didn't want them to rescue Fade. However, now, it seemed like Jaguar was insisting on saving him.
That would mean that they were going against the Song family. Although Jaguar was powerful and had a high reputation, the Song family was of the real martial arts family, and their abilities were beyond imagination. Even if Jaguar fought against the Song family, he would not dare to say that he would win for sure.
For a moment, Galeno, Gregory and the others couldn't help but be worried about him.
Just when Jaguar was about to continue the meeting, a cell phone rang. Austin took out his cell phone and answered it.
Soon, he handed the phone to Jaguar and said, "General Xu, it's from the government."
"From the government!"
Expressions changed as words were passed from one to another.
Jaguar's expression darkened as well and he paused for a second before answering the phone.
"Hello Sir, I'm Jaguar!" He said.
"About this matter, we have decided on it. We are in the middle of discussion of the rescue plan," he added.
"But... Yes, Sir! I'll definitely accomplish the task," he responded.
After hanging up the phone, he returned the phone to Austin, looking serious. A few seconds of silence passed by before he announced, "Regarding the rescue mission, today's meeting is over. We'll talk about it another day."
As soon as he finished his words, the audience burst into an uproar.
"General Xu, the clock's ticking. Fade is in a tremendously dangerous situation in Micovia.
We..."
"Master Zhu, General Xu has already said that we will talk about it another day. Why are you in such a hurry?"
After the meeting, everyone left.
Galeno, Baldrick, and Greg ary were unwilling to leave. Worry and doubt were evident on their faces. They found Jaguar and asked, "General Xu, Fade's rescue mission can't be delayed. If we wait, the situation will be..." Galeno began.
Jaguar sighed. His face showed utter helplessness as he answered, "Old Master Song talked to the government leaders. The orders came from them so I have no choice."
"But..." Galeno still wanted to say something; the words were there, but when he was about to say it, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
"If I'm not in this position, perhaps I would have taken action, but now..." Jaguar let out a long sigh. He had always been resolute, but at that moment, he was a bit downcast, something that was rarely seen.
Galeno and the others pulled themselves back from their low spirits. They looked at Jaguar and spoke, "General Xu, are we really going to idly sit by and do nothing?"
Jaguar looked around and whispered, "An official and large- scale operation is absolutely impossible. However, we still have some forces in Micovia. Now, I authorize you to do it immediately. Use any available force as much as possible to help Fade."
"Yes, we'll do it immediately!" They answered.
Galeno and the others were astonished. They saluted Jaguar and then quickly left.
He was slightly stunned, and then he took the phone and spoke to Joey.
More than ten minutes later, he hung up the phone.
Everyone around looked at him curiously and worriedly, "What was the call about?"
He didn't hide anything and disclosed the whole conversation with Joey to everyone.
She called on Jaguar's order to inform him briefly about the meeting.
After hearing his words, even Quin, who trusted Fade whole-heartedly, couldn't help but worry.
"I can’t believe the country won’t help Mr. Chen. What on earth are they thinking?"
"Mr. Chen is the hero of the country. Why are they not showing up in such a critical situation?"
"Even if they don't provide help directly, they should at least put some pressure with their attitude. What’s going on now? They didn’t even say a word and let their hero be besieged abroad. This is so upsetting. The higher-ups, can't they even think of this?" "The higher-ups must have thought of it. Didn't you hear? General Xu agreed to help, but he was pushed back by Old Master Song. Now, there is nothing he can do."
"That Old Master Song, he must have gone senile! Instead of helping one of his own, he is actually causing trouble."
Looking at the worked up crowd, Fade made a gesture to suppress the noise of the crowd. Then, he smiled softly and said, "I know the situation. All of you don't have to worry so much. They can't do anything to me in three days."
"But..."
"There is no but. Your trust is the greatest support for me," Fade said seriously.
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath, looked at him, and nodded solemnly.
