Aiden always watched any show related to the F Region military, he was deeply invested in anything concerning them, especially since it was an organisation where he saw himself holding an important office in the distant future.However, by the end of the news broadcast, he couldn’t help but stare at the screen with his mouth hanging wide open. Gideon who was in the same room as him also had the same reaction, but Aiden was most shocked by the report concerning Jake becoming a squad leader and being recommended for promotion to the Captain rank by the higher-ups of the F Region military.He understood exactly what that meant.It meant that every active captain, as well as the retired old commander, had approved Jake’s nomination. In other words, they truly believed Jake had what it took to become a captain.Although the F Region might be one of the poorer sectors, but that very fact was what made its military leaders far more cautious, as they always thought more than twice before maki

“You don’t think I would have done that before blaring the base alarms to get the attention of all the soldiers?” James fired back at Zack.“I already sent out the messages, the Region D military claims they are still occupied with the gate problems in their own region and won’t be able to lend us a hand, their top guild also used the exact same excuse.”“As for Region E, we shouldn’t even bother mentioning that bunch of pussies, they gave one excuse after another, but it all came down to the same thing: they won’t be sending anyone.”“Region C remained silent at first. Later, I received a private call from Annan, and I quote, ‘I thought you people were independent now and could handle any problem that appeared in your region. Deal with it yourselves. Region C no longer has any business with the Shadow Wolves.’”“So, in conclusion, Commander Annan of Region C is deliberately rubbing salt into our wounds, while the others are simply too frightened to lend us a hand,” James finally fini

After finally getting his hands on such a huge sum of money, the only thing Jake was interested in was making himself even stronger, the first thing he purchased was the Uncommon-rank Barrage Weapon Affinity.It was his first Uncommon-rank affinity, although he would still be starting from Level One, it still gave him a much better starting point than his other affinities had.At Level One, it already provided an 8% output, twice the amount a Common-rank affinity would have granted him.However, he would still have to start grinding its level from the beginning, which wasn’t something Jake was worried about in the slightest.[-10,000 Alliance Coins.]He did try to purchase the Uncommon Affinity of Sniper and Close Quarter, hoping that he could cheat his way on that, but unfortunately for him that didn’t work, with the system telling him that he already has the certain affinity he was trying to purchase, which means the only way he would be able to upgrade them is through the normal gr

“I hope you’re both ready for what you’re about to see,” Lionel said as they finally reached the lowest floor and the elevator doors slid open before them.“Whoaaa...”Aiden and Gideon could barely stop themselves from staring in amazement as they stepped into the new space.Although the rest of the room was dark, however; numerous items were displayed behind glass panels, and inside each display case, a glowing white light with a faint touch of blue illuminated the objects, making them appear even more beautiful and valuable.“This room contains some of the highest-ranked Epic, Rare, and Uncommon weapons and mechs we have managed to acquire over the years.” “Though many of them were obtained only this past week through our cooperation with various forging companies,” Lionel explained as he led the two boys toward the far end of the room, where only the most valuable items were kept, as they climbed one of the platforms.From the side, Aiden could already see the Guardian mech, he fou

Lionel quickly explained to Jake why Aiden and Gideon were there, after hearing everything, Jake nodded in understanding.“Well, welcome back. I hope you enjoy yourselves before returning to the academy, as for me, I came here to collect my baby,” Jake said as he walked toward the glass display positioned between the two mechs.He pulled out his access card and placed it against the identification panel built into the pillar beside the display; after a few seconds, the system approved his access, and the glass casing smoothly descended into the floor.Although Jake had performed the action as though it were completely ordinary, Aiden and Gideon immediately noticed something important.Jake possessed an access card capable of unlocking the secure weapon display, only then did they realize that Jake had entered this restricted area without being accompanied by a captain-rank officer.That alone demonstrated just how much influence Jake had gained within the base.Although people outside
