Chapter 993 The Youth of Their Generation Are the True Foundation
Jethro's brow tightened as if he wanted to say more, but when he saw Kennard and his team of aides still fuming with anger, clearly determined to make Robin suffer for what had happened, he sighed and decided not to continue. Anton lowered his voice. "General Quintana, should we try to reason with Mr. Morales once more? If this escalates, he could find himself in serious trouble..."
Jethro raised a hand, signaling Anton to stop. "Everyone must be accountable for their actions.
"Kennard is no longer a young man. At his age, he should know better. He's capable of making his own decisions."
Anton hesitated before continuing. "But he is an important figure in the Thalrex Order's high-tech division. If his displeasure with Mr. Ramsey causes problems, could it negatively impact the final results for Dragon Soul Special Forces?" "Then his career-and possibly his life-will be over," Jethro replied with a cold smile. "The higher-ups have stressed that internal disagreements are normal. They're just part of the job. They have nothing to do with factions or personal conflicts. "Discussions and debates are what help us improve and achieve our goals. But they must always be for the greater good and benefit everyone.
"Anything else—any hidden agendas or selfish motives leads to failure.
"Pretending to serve the people while secretly chasing power for personal gain is nothing more than manipulation. It goes against the true way of virtue.
"Kennard's minor achievements in astronomy have earned him praise for years. But now, he's blinded by his own ambition, refusing to listen to reason. He'll stop at nothing to make himself the center of attention, even if it means sacrificing others. That kind of behavior- not even Mr. Ramsey would tolerate it-I have no respect for it!
"The higher-ups didn't send him here to interfere with Dragon Soul Special Forces' decisions. He was just supposed to offer technical guidance.
"Kennard's sole aim is to take credit for the success of Dragon Soul Special Forces."
Anton shook his head with a knowing smile. "If Kennard thinks that, he's delusional. This generation of Dragon Soul Special Forces is not some group he can manipulate.
"He has no idea that this year's Commander-in-Chief of Dragon Soul Special Forces is Master Ramsey of Dragon Palace, a senior officer with two gold stars./
"And Commander Brooks is a major general and has strong ties to Dragon Palace.
"Among the other nine elite members, four are royal descendants, two come from military families, and three are the children of national heroes.
"Each of them possesses a clear, unwavering mindset. They are the true military elites-future pillars of Draconia's strength.
"The youth of their generation are the true foundation of Dragon Soul's future-the ones who will carry on the legacy of the kingdom, once defended by the sacrifices of millions. "Compared to them, Kennard and his group not only fall short in background but in virtue as well.
"If he thinks he can use these brilliant younger members to advance his own career, he's heading straight for failure."
Jethro nodded. "We can't stop things from running its course-let him do what he wants.
"Mr. Mickton, I've heard that Kennard's daughter is here with him on Qacalisle Island, and she's even staying in the premium suites of Dragon Soul Special Forces's quarters. Is that true?" Anton glanced at Kennard in the distance and sighed. "Yes, that's true.
"His personal assistant told me that his daughter has been wanting to live abroad for a long time, but the paperwork kept getting delayed.noveldrama
"This time, Kennard used his connections to set her up with a Hawklorean suitor.
"And to top it off, he arranged this international matchmaking event on the romantic Qacalisle Island. I
believe it's happening today-shonet'
was on the phone this morning saying it's at the Island Restaurant in Duskhaven.
"This Simone Morales has caused quite a stir back home. She's been involved with several highborn young men...
Jethro slapped Anton on the back with a smile. "I only asked about the situation, and now you're gossiping. Let's go, we're heading back to the hotel."
Seeing that Jethro and Anton weren't planning on handling Robin the way he expected, Kennard turned to his diplomatic attaché, Jackson.
"Mr. Pryce, when we get back to the hotel, contact the domestic office immediately. Report Robin's actions and ensure they coordinate with the relevant departments for a thorough investigation. "This is my first major directive since arriving on Qacalisle Island.
"It's my responsibility to ensure Dragon Soul Special Forces is on the right path.
"And include my recommendation: If Robin's attitude doesn't change and he continues down this road, I suggest we strip him of his commander-in-chief title by tonight.
"Otherwise, Dragon Soul Special Forces will lose its direction under his leadership, and the consequences -could be catastrophic."
Jackson stood frozen for a moment after hearing Kennard's impassioned speech about Robin and Dragon Soul.
When he finally regained his composure, he hurriedly waved his hand. "Mr. Morales, I can't do that. I'm just a diplomatic attaché, and I have no authority to interfere with Commander-in-Chief Ramsey or Dragon Soul Special Forces. "Commander-in-Chief Ramsey's leadership is directly under the highest command, and even General Quintana and Mr. Mickton are in assistant roles. As a low-ranking attaché, I can't report anything beyond my level. "Furthermore, Dragon Soul Special Forces, led by Commander-in-Chief Ramsey, has been designated as the core team by the Thalrex Order.
"This means even General Quintana doesn't have the power to replace Commander-in-Chief Ramsey.
"Mr. Morales, the Mystic Realm War Games are at a critical stage right now. I strongly advise against internal conflicts. That will only hurt the ones truly dedicated to the team!
"Please, set aside personal agendas and focus all our energy on tomorrow's L1 Mystic Realm Semifinals!"
"This is only the second time in 20 years that Draconia has had a shot at taking first place in the international military skills competition organized by the Thalrex Order.
"You need to understand, this competition holds immense significance, not just for us, but for the world. Regional and global leaders are watching closely, and our superiors in Draconia are especially invested in the outcome. "Any misuse of your power for personal gain, to assert dominance, won't be tolerated back home.
"You've been in this position for a long time. You should know the value of knowing when to push forward and when to hold back.
"And one more thing-some people should be left alone. You wouldn't want to go down that path..."
"Go down what path?" Kennard snapped back, his face flushed with anger. "Jackson, you've lost your mind!
"My assistant team has sent me
alarming reports about Robin.
According to some sources, he's responsible for senseless killings and uses extreme methods. Not to mention, his past is full of
questionable actions Kennard's fury erupted.
Jackson calmly shook his head, cutting him off. "Mr. Morales, I don't want to continue this conversation.
"The people you're referring to-I don't even know who they are. But what I do know is that wherever there's slander, false accusations, or underhanded tactics, that's where these 'some people' tend to appear. "One thing's for certain-I won't be manipulated into being your pawn."
