The door of the president's office slammed open as Wang Siki rushed out, sprinting straight into the elevator.A burning fire raged inside her chest.
Sometime later, she arrived at the helipad.Wang Shinu and Wang Lelay were already aboard the helicopter, their faces pale with worry.
Wang Siki marched toward the director of operations and delivered two loud slaps across his face.
"If anything happens to the young master… you can prepare to die."
Her icy words pierced into his ears, frightening him so badly his legs trembled.In that moment, he even felt the urge to strangle the two staff members who had failed their duties.He'd only been away for half a day… and such a catastrophic mistake had occurred.
The three women boarded the helicopter and immediately flew toward the northwest.
At the same time, all of Hhia was in chaos.
The Northern Military Region received a direct order from General Sher Uaha and immediately dispatched 100,000 elite soldiers to reinforce the northwest.The Martial Artists Association sent additional personnel as well.Across Wasia, nations condemned E Country's ambitions and their long-term harassment of Hhia's borders.
Countless passionate young men pledged loudly to join the army.
And yet—there was still no word from the Lord.
Only in the evening did an official statement finally emerge.The Lord announced that reinforcements would be sent and called for domestic medical personnel to support the frontline troops.
Meanwhile, the Hhia government issued a harsh statement to E Country, questioning their repeated border provocations and warmongering.The World Peace Organization strongly condemned E Country's atrocities and demanded an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal.
But E Country gave no direct response.The war continued.
As night fell, another shocking piece of news spread across the nation:
General Winging of the Border Military Region—missing.
The country erupted in uproar.
Generals rarely appeared in public and were always accompanied by elite bodyguards.For General Winging to vanish without a trace… it could only be connected to E Country.
But no one could understand how.How could E Country capture a general so heavily protected?After all, martial artists and ability-users were top-secret assets of every nation—ordinary people had no idea how powerful they truly were.
The sky darkened.Gunfire gradually stopped.Both sides retreated to their bases, seemingly preparing for an even fiercer clash to come.
Inside the base's conference hall, four Grandmasters and dozens of high-ranking military officials gathered.
The four Grandmasters were all in miserable condition, their bodies covered in severe wounds.Master Chen had even lost an arm.Though the injuries had been treated, fresh blood still seeped through their bandages.
Everyone's expression was grim.Every head was bowed in heavy silence.
With the general missing…the military region had completely lost—
