Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2059
"Ah, i-is this true?" Although they had clearly heard Gregary's explanation, they still couldn't believe it.
Greg ary smiled and replied, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do you think that General Xu would appear at such a crucial moment? In fact, he had long since arrived and was silently observing your performance."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the team members changed. Kaegan and Halston, in particular, couldn't help but look at Fade gratefully.
After all, it was he who persuaded them to stay when they wanted to run away.
If they had really run away at that time, Jaguar would've seen it and they would've left a bad impression. Even worse, they might be disqualified from the competition.
At the same time, Jaguar stood on the stage and looked at the team members who were still surprised. He gently coughed and said, "Well, let's discuss it later. Now, let's talk about the Long family's rebellion." Upon hearing this, the scene immediately turned silent and everyone's expressions became serious. They focused on Jaguar, who was standing on the stage.
Jaguar went straight to the point without any hesitation. He told them the entire story in detail, "The first time I noticed something wrong with the Long family was five years ago. At that time..." Fade and the others listened quietly and tried to sort out the entire story in their minds.
It turned out that back then when the country was newly established, the Long's family treason had indeed left a very bad impression on the higher-ups. Although they had kept a low profile after that, it was natural that they wouldn't be easily forgiven, given their family's unique identity and wrongdoing.
Therefore, the higher-ups had suppressed the Long family over the past few decades. They did not allow the Long family to enter the military and political sectors.
At first, the wealth that the Long family held would still be more than sufficient for them to sustain the family, even if they didn't enter the military and political fields. In fact, the Long family had indeed focused on business only.
Yet, the past incident slowly faded away over the years. The Long family had also expanded their influence and business. In view of this, the higher-ups started to decrease the restrictions on them.
It was initially a token of reward from the higher-ups to the Long family for keeping a low profile over the years.
However, they didn't expect someone to accidentally find a dragon robe in the inner hall of the Long family five years ago.
The rumor had spread for a while but it didn't take long for the Long family to suppress the news. Most of the people didn't know this at all.
Although the Long family had taken immediate action, the higher-ups still managed to retrieve the information. They couldn't help but recall the Long family's rebellion from decades ago. Therefore, the higher- ups secretly put the Long family on the inspection list.
Now, five years had passed and the Long family still maintained a low profile and didn't have any unusual movements.
This had caused the higher-ups to subconsciously lower their guard. They thought that the matter with the inner hall's dragon robe was merely a coincidence. They even considered removing the Long family from the inspection list.
However, just a few months ago, Jaguar had a new lead when he was working with a foreign martial artist. He accidentally found a clue related to the Long family and he had tracked it down.
He then realized that the Long family hadn't given up after all these years. They kept a low profile in the public but they were actually making contact with the descendants of the old royal family secretly. They even collaborated with foreign forces in an attempt to revive the Long family.
He immediately reported this to the higher-ups and began to secretly monitor the Long family.
Although there were relevant clues, it wasn't an easy task to discover the evidence for the rebellion and to find out the parties involved.
Therefore, Jaguar had been secretly investigating the Long family for the past few months.
According to the initial plan, the
Long family wouldn't launch their attack so quickly. However, it happened that the conflict between Fade and Tarlo had triggered the Long family to take action in
advance. As a result, this
Jaguar the opportunity to obtain the
evidence.
When Gregary and the others learned that the Long family was ready to launch an attack, their initial plan was to let Fade and the others retreat and then set up a trap to eliminate the Long family in one go. However, Jaguar happened to have an idea, and that was the special training mission. He then combined the two plans into one.
That was how they ended up in the mission of rescuing hostages on the platform.
One of the purposes of this task was
l.ne
to lure the Long family out and let them launch their attack in advance by using Fade as bait. Another purpose was to take this opportunity to train the participants' actual
combat skills.
After listening to the entire story, all the team members were momentarily stunned. They felt emotional and were lost for words.
It was not after a few seconds that Pluto finally implied, "It turns out that we're nothing but a pawn in the game."
Kaegan was hiding his face while he mumbled, "It's such a dangerous mission. Were they not afraid of any accidents? If we died there..."
Before he could even finish, Jaguar's expression darkened. He fumed loudly, "Would it still be called a special training if it was not dangerous at all?"
"I know that you're all elites from
your clans, you're talented, and you've received many compliments since childhood. However, I wish to tell you the International Youth Martial Arts Convention isn't as simple as you think."
"This isn't a match; it's a battle. As soon as the fight begins, your opponents won't show you any mercy. They will only be more harsh and more vicious than the ones in this special training mission." "There's another piece of information that I want to tell you. The death rate of the participants in the previous matches was more than 50%. You must be mentally prepared for this!" Jaguar warned. Upon hearing this, the faces of the team members sank and they looked grim.
Kaegan shut his mouth and stopped talking.
The atmosphere was intense. Only Fade's expression seemed to be normal; he had long known that the competition was of such a standard. Therefore, he wasn't surprised by Jaguar's words. Soon after that, something flashed through his mind. He looked up at Jaguar and asked, "General Xu, how is the current situation of the Long family?"
Jaguar glanced at him and answered, "Everyone, including Hamilton, have been arrested. They're now being interrogated."
"How about Tiana?" Fade asked.
Jaguar answered in a deep voice, "She's not included."
