Speaking of the Jin family, Fade could not help but say, "The Jin family is from the Dragon Sect." "Do you know them too?" Jaguar asked.

Fade then proceeded to tell him about the conflict between him and the Jin family in East Coast.

Jaguar's expression immediately fell and he clenched his fists. "I warned them back then that we could never allow the Jin family to make a comeback. No one listened to me and they even gave them the power. This is detrimental to our society!"

He was so angry that he started coughing violently.

Galeno quickly picked up the medicine on the bedside table and handed it to him.

"General Xu, why don't I treat you? I'm a doctor as well," Fade suggested.

"Don't worry. I won't die this easily." Jaguar waved his hand. "Let's get to the point first!"

Fade nodded and asked, "What's the matter with the Dragon Sect? Why are the higher-ups giving them so much power?"

Galeno sighed as he replied, "This is related to General Xu's injury."

"Recently, both the underground and foreign forces have become increasingly active. Our country is facing more and more challenges. Originally, General Xu was able to solve the problem, so the citizens weren't that affected."

"Unfortunately, he has to step down now due to his injury. The safety of our people is at stake, so they have to search for someone to take over his place."

"It is not easy to find someone at his level. There wasn't a single person in the army who could replace him. Therefore, the higher-ups had no choice but to turn to the martial artists, hoping that they could help the country."

Fade nodded in agreement. "That's understandable. How was it?"

Galeno shook his head and sighed. "They didn't succeed. It was terrible."

"After General Xu was injured, the government immediately tried to search for potential martial artists in secret."

"However, there are barely any experts in the martial arts circle. Most of them are attached to big families or clans. It is very difficult to ask them for help."

"The ones in the clans claimed that they don't want to be involved in worldly affairs, stating that they only wished to focus on cultivation. Even if some agreed, they only sent out some decent disciples in the end, who wouldn't do much help. As for the four Heaven Level clans, they did not send anyone at all."

"On the other hand, the big families prioritized protecting their own families and benefits. They refused to send any of the experts. After all, their families would be doomed if the experts were hurt, so no one was willing to take this risk."

"In the end, not many people were recruited. Most of them are self learners and they aren't highly-skilled at all. They are barely at the Heaven level, let alone at the Half-lord Level."

Fade sighed upon hearing this. He was reminded of the time when Camelia told him about Jaguar back in Green Wood Hall.

Back then, Jaguar had given up his bright future in Green Wood Hall on Prohibition Island for the sake of the country.

Fade admired the fact that Jaguar had devoted his entire life to the country and the people. He was indeed the Army Lord of the country.

Compared to other martial artists, he was much more noble of a person.

The martial artists from various clans and big families weren't wrong to reject the request. It was normal for humans to prioritize their own well-being before others.

Nonetheless, it was still saddening to see this.

Fade fell silent as he thought about it.

At the side, Galeno sighed softly before continuing, "Without sufficient manpower, the underground forces have become even stronger, and the higher- ups are feeling pressured too." "Therefore, someone suggested seeking help from the Dragon Sect."

"Later on, the higher-ups sent

someone over to negotiate terms with the Dragon Sect. As a result, they agreed to help, in exchange for some benefits. After some

consideration, the higher-ups agreed to their requests, which show the

Dragon Sect ended up involved in this matter."

Fade continued to ask, "Who are the Dragon Sect exactly?"

"To be honest, they're considered a martial arts family as well, but a special one According to the legends, the first head of the Dragon Sect was a descendant of royalty. and they carry the blood of the Dragon. It was said that the head lost in a battle to obtain the crown, so he brought his loyal subjects with him into hiding."

"They slowly grew stronger and after several hundred years, they became the current royalty, which is generally known as the Dragon Sect, protecting their own royal blood."

"They are extremely powerful, even

more so than the four Heaven Level clans. Moreover, their requests were not too outlandish and they were willing to offer three Half- Lord Level experts. Therefore, the higher-ups agreed to their conditions. The Special Operations Department of the Military was specifically founded because of them."

"Of course, the Dragon Sect would hold some special privileges in return. For example, Harrel and the others were able to take control of the companies in East Coast in such a short time due to the benefits." "Obviously, their methods of forcing others into marriage are outdated."

Fade nodded after listening to Galeno. He finally understood the entire situation now.

After connecting the dots, he could figure out what was happening.

He then thought of something and asked," What about my conflict with the Dragon Sect, would the Special Operations Department..."

Galeno frowned upon hearing that question.

However, Jaguar's expression immediately fell as he snorted. "I would never let that happen."

Galeno also nodded gently and agreed. "Fade, do not worry about that. Although the Special Operations Department has some special privileges, they would never dare to do as they please. Moreover, if you're willing to help, the higher-ups would definitely value you much more."

Fade nodded as he replied, "Master Zhu, I grew up in this country. This is my motherland. I will not sit by and watch the others ruin the peace in my country."

"However, I have no idea of my wife's situation right now. I have to prioritize her first, so..."

"Fade, I understand. We will never force you to give up on your family. We just hope that you can help if you are able to. After all, we are still lacking manpower," Galeno answered.

"Don't worry, Master Zhu. I'll be back as soon as I save my wife!" Fade promised seriously.

Galeno smiled and nodded.

"There's no rush. Since your wife was taken away by the Skull Mob, you will inevitably fight them in the end. That's also a contribution to the country, so please don't stress yourself out," Jaguar added. Fade nodded, then took out a silver needle and said, "General Xu, let me treat you!"
