Noda looked more relaxed.
“Does anyone have any opinions on this?” The colonel lifted his head and scanned across the people who were standing behind Noda, staying quiet all this while.
“No.” They all shook their heads, and no one was willing to speak further at a time like this for fear of getting into trouble.
“You have a point. I'll tell the army’s leader right now to have them send over some people to check all the hotels and any suspicious places closely, as well as to increase surveillance around the training grounds. We won’t allow the same thing to happen again!”
The colonel stood up and paced back and forth in the room as he informed the authorities of this contest. He knew better than anyone that if anything similar happened again, Japan's global status would be greatly impacted.
They might even face criticisms and reprimands from other countries.
He, as the colonel who was responsible for the war contest and the safety of the training ground, would hit rock bottom for sure. Not only would he lose his position, but he would also have to bear the consequences.
This was something he was not willing to see.
“What Colonel says is right!”
“Yeah, I believe that under Colonel’s brilliant guidance, there won’t be any similar problems happening at the training ground!”
“We’ll cooperate with the colonel for sure!”
“Don’t worry, Colonel. I will quickly catch the culprit based on the clues we have. We might get all the answers we need after catching him!”
Seeing how everyone was flattering him non-stop, Noda followed suit and spoke up as well.
“Seems like the army is terrified,” Seeing this situation, Gerald chuckled and said to Master Ghost in a low voice.
“This is Japan, which has limited armed forces. If it’s in other countries, the security would be even tighter as no one knows whether the killer will attack again. The man has to be an idiot or is extremely confident with his ability to have killed a Yanam special forces agent before the war contest for special forces began,” Master Ghost replied quietly after checking where the men from the Japanese army were and making sure that they couldn’t be heard.
“It’s most likely the latter.” Gerald nodded. What Master Ghost had said was exactly the same as what he himself thought.
“To be able to kill a member of the special forces in such a short time means he has extraordinary ability. I’ve seen this man from Yanam’s special forces before, and he seems to be quite strong himself.” Taking a deep breath, Gerald continued, “Do you think it could be the cultivator from the Crawford family?”
“You’re saying that a man with this level of strength could be him?” Master Ghost opened his eyes wide. He had never thought in this way before.
“Who knows. I’m just guessing.” Gerald waved his arms.
