Chapter 636: There has been some unrest in the alliance lately~
Frimio was unable to maintain his good mood for long after calling the group of champions together for a meeting.
It's not just that these champions are disobedient and always looking for trouble... there are also affairs within the league.
I am just a small commander, responsible for handling matters related to you regional champions.
Can you please not involve me in any weird actions you have?! Huh?
"Jekyll, are you getting along well with the elves lately?"
"It's OK, Grandpa. Although Crocodile is still a little bit stubborn... he is willing to listen to some instructions."
Old Frimio breathed a sigh of relief.
I only have this one precious grandson... I hope those people won't set their sights on him.
"That's good. The improvement of the elves' strength depends on the joint efforts of yourself and the elves. The method of your six great grandfathers is not advisable. Do you understand?"
Jekyll stood beside old Frimio, with his head bowed, respectful.
"I understand, Grandpa."
The Chief Commander is a high position, but not the top one - but if it is a small position, it holds enormous power in a place like the Alliance.
At least on the surface, these champions were all convened and managed by him.
Lao Deng stroked his gray beard, picked up the cup on the table, took a sip, and let out a long sigh.
"There hasn't been any action from Dongyao's king and champion recently, right?"
"Yes, Grandpa. It seems that as you expected, the man who entered and left Dongyao's room the past two days should be the former leader of Jiye."
Jekyll answered... Surprisingly, no matter what he said, there seemed to be no expression on his face. He was so calm even though he was still young. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he had such strength at this age.
Lao Deng stroked his beard and frowned a little.
"But I can't figure it out... Why would these two people meet each other? Do they know each other? Or..."
He was puzzled... Even though he was in this position, he couldn't say that he could understand everything in the league, especially the six old Dengs at the top who had more power than him.
At this time, Jekyll came up and whispered close to old man Frimio's ear.
"Grandpa, I heard something recently..."
He whispered in his ear a summary of the major events that had taken place within the alliance during the meeting, and Commander Frimio frowned even more tightly.
"Dawn disbands? Are you kidding?"
He snorted coldly and looked at the email that suddenly popped up on the computer.
After clicking it off, he murmured,
"I think it's not a dissolution, it's a merger."
"Then the deployment of these actions is reasonable. Cheng Kaiyuan is not the kind of person who doesn't have a backup plan - none of the cadres in Liming are easy to deal with!"
"As for Ji Ye... hehe~ you old guys have a lot to do~ A lot of things have been destroyed in the lab, are you anxious? Hmm?"
The originally sneering expression became extremely awkward after he said this, but it could also be seen from it that the old guy seemed to be in a good mood.
He seemed to lean back in his chair with ease, and changed the page on his computer again, revealing a young boy's face.
"The records show that when the spirit world in Dongyao was rioting, this person was on a mission there, right? Dongyao Champion also applied to rush back, right?"
Jekyll looked at his grandfather's face and made no answer.
He doesn't know about this... Maybe it's just grandpa's old habit of talking to himself coming back?
"Hmm? Oh, right! Where's the person we sent to Dongyao after reporting the information about the gods in the four tropical islands? Has he come back?"
Jekyll still didn't know about this topic. He was not qualified to listen to it, so he remained silent.
But he understood the next sentence.
"Jekyll, bring me that novel you were reading lately."
Ok?
Jekyll, who had always remained calm, finally showed a change of expression.
"That's not the case, Grandpa! You... you need to listen to my explanation——"
"Hey~ Don't panic, Jekyll~ Grandpa just wants to get closer to the thinking of young people nowadays~"
Old man Frimio grabbed Jekyll's hand and calmed his suddenly flustered heart, but the young man obviously didn't buy it and quickly changed the subject -
"Grandpa... Grandpa! I heard that something is going to happen soon! The alliance over there in Lesion is going to take action against the slums because of the development plan! It seems that they have also asked for forbidden power!"
?
Frimio's expression froze, his brows slightly frowned, and he turned his head little by little to look at Jekyll.
"What taboo?"
But the boy shook his head.
"I don't know either - I just heard a little rumor a couple of days ago, and a few staff members were talking about it."
The slums of Lesion...? Lesion wants to take action against that place... Aren't the locals afraid of backlash?
Draining the pond to catch all the fish? Is this a stupid thing that can be done?
Moreover, doing things this way... I didn't even know about it?
"Jekyll, give William a call. William Neal."
Frimio took the phone from his grandson and looked at the number on it.
"Hello? Commander?"
William's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding calm and kind.
"Where are you now?"
"Oh, Bitmei~ Right next to you, how about we have a meal together sometime?"
There was a sense of playfulness and lightness in this sentence, which was totally different from what Frimio had imagined, but the old man didn't have time to talk nonsense with him.
"It seems that the alliance in Lesion is going to take action against the slums. Do you know about this?"
"know."
Frimio's mouth twitched.
"You know you're still so calm? If something happens to your dessert shop, aren't you afraid—"
"Something has happened."
Old man Frimio's mouth was instantly blocked and he remained silent for a long time.
He had an expression of confusion and held it in for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"Why didn't you tell me? Even if you claim to be just a pastry chef...it won't change the fact that we are indeed friends."
(See Chapter 55 - "The background is not very strong", "It seems to have no effect on those big families...")
"You can't control this matter."
"I can't control it?!"
Frimio was instantly ignited by this sentence... He can't control those disobedient superstars and champions outside, so why can't I control your affairs? !
"Is there anything I can't do about your affairs?! Huh? Who are you looking down on?! It's just you, an old man, who doesn't want to..."
But the sudden voice from the other end of the phone made him feel like he had a lump in his throat.
"Of course you can't do anything about it. This is a mission assigned by the six old men above you. Do you think Lesion's alliance has the ability to refuse?"
This……
Azhe, there is really nothing I can do about it.
"What about your dessert shop?"
"A dessert shop? Haha~ It's long gone~ Now it's become a 'wish fulfillment place'~"
Wish fulfillment place?
Frimio stood up and looked out the window—
"So... a few days ago, you held an ice cream sales promotion event in Bitmei. Are you actually planning to move the main store to Bitmei?"
"Well, not exactly."
On the other end of the phone, William just sat down, took a look at the citrus balls used as decoration on the table, and a can of crystal clear energy cubes next to it, and smiled twice.
"Hey, Saru, I went to see old man Moso a few days ago, and he told me that he met two very interesting guys. One of them is even a prosecutor from your alliance!"
ha?
Frimio Laoden glanced at his phone.
Can you still find Mosuo?! Hasn't that old guy lived in the mountains for a long time? He doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays, except planting some flowers, plants and trees - and performing plays to fool children.
"Hey! Don't tell me! I actually know the other guy he met! Not only did he help Mosuo a lot, he also did me a favor..."
"Wait a minute! Aren't we talking about Lesion? Why did we end up talking about another guy?"
Frimio quickly cut William off from the subject, lest he should go off on another subject and have no more to say.
"Lesion... It's okay. It's just a taboo. I just want to rely on this power to achieve eternal 'peace'..."
"It won't stir up any storm."
"Just listen to my story about that kid - it's much more interesting than these conspiracies."
