SYNO Chapter 28
by Geli Cake60f4e986faec68f8c875Ssangryeong waved his hand dismissively. This wasn’t the time to chat with Benjamin.

4ef632903d424b678d9d“What is the meaning of this?! Even if Commander Pienne is the ruler of the Dependent Nation, he has no right to simply imprison Brigadier General Lucas, a rival and an officer of the same rank!”

39cef130e3d654e72df6“Are the accusations against Brigadier General Lucas even true? If Commander Pienne committed this outrageous act without concrete evidence, he will surely be held accountable. There are procedures and common sense to be followed, yet why does the Commander constantly…tsk.”
1c6022412dc0553a9f91“This matter requires thorough urgent discussion at the next presidential meeting. Although the President seems to hold Commander Pienne in high regard, how can one covet the position of a president based on ability alone? Such reckless and thoughtless behavior is not suitable for that position. His background alone…”

b7cf2d5f399afea61323“Indeed, that’s a serious issue. And I don’t understand why everyone is only considering Brigadier General Lucas’ position. A dangerous criminal, Ssangryeong, has escaped. Pienne had achieved a great feat by capturing him. But then Brigadier General Lucas suddenly arrived in the Dependent Nation, and Ssangryeong escaped when Lucas was about to return to the Home Nation. Wouldn’t it be natural for the Commander to investigate the incident?”

Not only that, but he’s also well-versed in weapons, fighter jets, and overall military knowledge. Do you think he would attack recklessly? Of course, it was a calculated strike.”

We’ve searched the entire Deruns River thoroughly and found several other bodies, but none of them were Ssangryeong. They were beyond recognition, but the autopsies revealed that they were drug addicts or people suffering from malnutrition. Their physical characteristics also didn’t match Ssangryeong’s.”
