Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 3175

Of course, the Combat Readiness Committee did suffer losses.

They had 200 soldiers in the first place, but right then, they were down to more than 100. Almost half of the team was killed, and it was a devastating sight.

Sheldon was responsible for reorganizing the team and treating the wounded. Riccardo led the rest of the mobile members in cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils of war.

Sohail was still busy making phone calls. His face became gloomier by the minute. It was obvious that no one answered his calls.

After making one last phone call, Sohail, who had always been good-tempered, smashed his phone onto the ground. A wave of fury crashed through him.

At such a sight, Fade took the initiative to walk over and ask, "Sohail, what happened?" Shifting his gaze to look at Fade, Sohail stammered, "Mr. Chen, I..."

He paused. It was as if he was at a loss and had no idea how he should put his words into place.

Fade reassured him, "If you can't tell me, it's fine."

Sohail shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I was on the phone with the headquarters. I called them to ask the reason why Team 5 didn't show up at Spring River as promised. I told them that the enemy took advantage of the situation and attacked us. I want to know what exactly happened that almost led to the death of more than 200 members of the Combat Readiness Committee."

The situation that day was critical.

If it hadn't been for Fade, the Combat Readiness Committee would definitely be no match for the Joint Army.

Although they had won, he had to investigate to discover the reason why Team 5 hadn’t shown up.

Upon hearing that, Fade's expression darkened. He then asked, "What did they say?"

Sohail said, his voice low, "They pushed the blame by saying that the order had been sent out. They have no idea why Team 5 did not show up and how Morrison and the Joint Army appeared at Spring River. They are currently investigating the reason behind it."

"Currently investigating?"

Fade muttered. Anger flashed in his eyes.

Just then, a loud shout caught their attention.

"What are you doing!"

Fade recognized that it was Riccardo's voice.

Turning around at once, he looked in Riccardo's direction.

At that moment, Riccardo was cleaning up the battlefield and collecting war spoils with his team members.

It was right then that a team of fully armed soldiers appeared out of nowhere and started confronting them.

Fade, Sohail, and Sheldon rushed over at once after noticing such a scene.

"Riccardo, what's going on?" Sheldon asked.

Riccardo was fuming. He pointed to the team of fully armed soldiers and bellowed, "This useless bunch did not show up when we needed them. Now, they want to snatch our spoils of war."

After receiving a brief explanation, the group raised their heads to look in the direction of the soldiers.

Sheldon and Sohail's expressions instantly darkened.

"Mr. Hu, I don't think it's right for you to do this!" Sohail said in a low voice.

Sheldon wasn't direct, but the undercurrent in his words was obvious.

It was obvious he blamed Team 5 for what they had experienced. Team 5 had blundered and had allowed the enemy to have the chance to sneak into their defense area, launching a sneak attack on the Combat Readiness Committee.

At that moment, all members of the Combat Readiness Committee were glaring at Team 5.

Khalil understood the underlying meaning behind Sheldon's words. With a scoff, he rebuked, "What are you talking about, Sheldon? Are you accusing Team 5 of failing our duties? Or are you doubting my military prowess?"

Sheldon replied in a tit for tat manner, "That's right. I’m starting to doubt your military prowess."

"If there's nothing wrong with your skills, I presume a more serious problem might have taken place, considering the occurrence of such a huge mistake."

Right then, Sheldon's words had a more serious meaning to them.

It was obvious he blamed Khalil. If it wasn't a mistake, it implied that Khalil might have colluded with the enemy. If that was the case, the matter should not be taken lightly.

"Nonsense!"

Khalil bellowed and denied Sheldon's accusation at once.

Sheldon snorted in reply. "How I wish I was talking nonsense. Team 5 and the Dragon Force must, however, give us a proper explanation."

"Explanation?!" Khalil gritted his teeth with a grim smile at the corner of his lips. Throwing his head backwards for an arrogant cackle, he responded by saying, "Well then, let's see what the headquarters have to say!"

With that, he turned around and ordered his soldiers, "Hurry up. After collecting the spoils, let’s head back for a rest. We've been running around all night. It's exhausting!"
