Although people wanted to argue about Ashtel's decision, Ashtel left no reason to argue anymore, as his deploying Rio and Riya to solve the human empire's problems first before anyone else's was an understandable move.
Rio and Riya were both humans before anything else, and thus, of course, they would help their own people first before any other nation.
Arguing against this decision was pointless; moreover, they couldn't forcefully just snatch the two kids away for themselves with someone like Ashtel standing behind them as a guardian, so they could only accept this arrangement.
The meeting soon came to an end with most SS-rankers leaving with complicated and concern-filled expressions on their faces.
The future was getting more and more uncertain, and they all had to adapt to these changes; if they couldn't, then it wouldn't take long before they would cease to exist.
