The leader looked back at Jaguar and said, "General Xu, as a high-ranking officer in the military, the high- level officials are very disappointed with your conduct on openly participating in such a breach of law. You..."
Before he could finish, Jaguar waved his hand and interrupted him. "I'm no longer a general."
"What?" The leader was surprised.
Jaguar answered, "I tendered my resignation letter last night. From now on, I'm just an ordinary Chinese citizen, not a general."
Hearing this, Fade was also shocked.
The leader frowned and looked at Jaguar. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Jaguar spoke up, "As an ordinary citizen, if you want to arrest me for investigation, I will cooperate with your work."
Upon hearing this, the leader did not relax at all. On the contrary, he became more and more nervous.
Jaguar's strength had dropped a little because of his injury.
Even with the joint efforts of the guards, they would not be able to defeat him.
However, strength was not the most important thing. The most important thing was Jaguar's status.
He was the country's God of War who had supported the country for decades. He had been a symbol of the country's soldiers for many difficult decades.
If they attacked him, the chain of consequences would be even more challenging to deal with for the leaders above them.
Considering all this, the leader did not dare to order his team members to take action.
For a while, the scene fell into an awkward situation.
Fade did not cooperate with the investigation, but they couldn't arrest him because of his strength.
Meanwhile, Jaguar said that he would cooperate with the investigation. However, they, too, couldn't arrest him because of his mighty influence.
The team leader waved his hand helplessly and ordered, "Retreat." Then, he left with his companions.
Calm was restored.
Fade looked at the villa, which was in a mess. He looked at Jaguar and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu!"
Jaguar smiled and said, "No need to thank me. There have been a lot of changes in the past two years. I do not want to stay in that position anymore. It's good to retire."
"Also, Fade, I will take care of this matter. You don't have to worry too much about it."
"Take good care of your family!"
Jaguar waved goodbye and left.
Fade returned to the villa to treat his wife.
Three days passed peacefully with no relevant news reports.
It seemed that nothing had happened.
Three days later, Fade received a call from Ebrar.
On the phone, the weak Ebrar apologized to Fade and indicated that Alferdo's actions were not his idea.
At the same time, he also asked what compensation Fade wanted.
Fade had no desires.
The matter seemed to have passed and was buried in silence.
However, on the fourth day, an unexpected news caused a stir in the country and even the whole world.
Known as the country's God of War, Jaguar Xu, who had stood by his country for decades, publicly announced that he had retired from the military and had become an ordinary citizen.
As soon as the news was published, it took the headlines of all major media outlets, causing quite the discussion.
After all, he was the country's God of War. In the past few decades, he was the backbone of the country.
Not only did it not clear up the matter, it had also angered a lot of netizens. Waves of condemnation followed on the Internet.
Countless people said that they would avenge Jaguar and Fade. The matter was spiraling out of control.
At that moment, in one of the conference rooms in the government building, a group of people was livid after reading the report.
The chairperson of the meeting was a middle-aged man with glasses, who was about sixty years old. His name was Nathan Xu and he had taken over Alferdo's job after the latter's death.
After Jaguar left, Ebrar asked him to deal with the follow-up matters, and the result was a mess, which made him very angry.
Right then, when he saw the comments on the Internet, Nathan slammed the table in anger.
"I told you to explain things and to control the public's opinion. I did not ask you to add fuel to the flames and make things even more chaotic."
"Why can't you handle such a simple matter?! Useless! Get out of here and let someone else do it!"
"Mr. Xu, the public opinion on this matter has too much influence. I'm afraid that it will not calm down for a while. Moreover, some things are confidential and we cannot explain it to the public," someone spoke up.
"Yes! Jaguar is the country's God of War. It is undeniable that his sudden departure will surely cause a lot of discussions."
"I asked you to come up with a solution to the problem, not to complain and find excuses," Nathan angrily interrupted everyone's words.
Immediately, there was a dead silence. The atmosphere was so oppressive that no one could say a word.
At this moment, Gaetano, who sat at the corner of the meeting table, spoke.
"Uncle Nathan, no, Mr. Xu, I have an idea."
Nathan looked at him with a slightly relieved expression. After all, he was close to Alferdo and had a good relationship with his son. Gaetano had just lost his father, so
Nathan was more considerate of his feelings.
"Gaetano, what idea do you have? Tell us!"
