Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1054

"Print it out for me."

"Yes, Ruler."

Eric put down the phone. The call had cut his train of thoughts. He stared blankly at the documents in his hand and then threw them aside, annoyed by the workload. Then he stood up from behind the desk and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. There, he stood silently with a cup of tea in his hand. As he looked out the window, his mind was carried far away from the hustle of his job. The main building of the National Congress was in the shape of the letter 'Z', a grand architecture with lucrative history. Its magnificent design somehow symbolized Dragon Island's spirit—undefeated and utterly powerful. It would stand the test of time and stay erect on this earth for thousands of years to come. Through the last few centuries, the island had developed into an independent country and had gained its own sovereignty. Originally, this place was home to only a few hundred thousand people. Now, more than seventy million people lived and worked on this beautiful and prosperous land. With its growing population and increasing demands, a change in the country's foreign policies was an undeniable need. The National Congress would be responsible for the change to come. Members of the Long family were also fully aware of the fact that it was high time they exposed themselves more to the international world and formed sound diplomatic relationship with other countries.

One of those countries in particular was their top priority. Country Z shared the same ancestors as Dragon Island's. The two countries even spoke the same language and had similar cultural traditions.

As he was immersed in his thoughts, he heard a knock.

Eric titled his head and uttered, "Come in." He then slowly turned around and looked at his secretary as she politely put down a file on the desk.

"Ruler, here is the email which was sent by Mr. Brian Long. I have printed it out for your reference," she reported to him in a smooth voice. "If you don't require anything else, I will leave you to it."

Eric simply nodded as he walked towards the desk. His attention was instantly drawn towards the file. As soon as his secretary left the room, he picked it up and quickly scanned through the contents. It was quite an interesting read. It listed the details of Brian's training program designed for Edgar's army. Many of these trainings were adapted from XK Intelligence Agency's own programs. The training periods varied from one week to even half a month.

"Bro, you are trying so hard here. It is so obvious." He was utterly surprised by his brother's move. A strange fire lit in his eyes as he raised his gaze from the paper. He called, "Lenny!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Lenny, who had been standing in the corner of the room, stepped forward. His face was as calm as a deep dark lake.

"Ask Committee He to prepare for the next mock battle." As he carefully put the file away into the desk drawer, Eric ordered solemnly, "I need the detailed proposal within the next three days."
