Charlie looked at him. “Go on.”
Brandon hesitated before speaking: 21 heard the Fifth Military is planning to use the Swarmborn against Tycoon Farm”
Charlie’s pupils shrank instantly. “What?”
“The information hasn’t been confirmed yet. I only heard it from a friend.” Brandon inwered his voice even further. It sounds like they’re planning to let the Swarmborn do the dirty work and take out Tycoon Farm.”
Charlie remained silent for a long time.
He stared at the sunlight outside the window and the bustling city skyline in the distance. Suddenly, he felt as though something was emerging from the darkness,
No. It wasn’t approaching anymore. It was already here.
“This has nothing to do with us.” He finally spoke. “We don’t know anything. And neither do you.”
Brandon nodded. “Understood.”

Gregory sat behind his desk. A holographic display in front of him showed the newly drafted planetary transfer agreement.
He had been staring at it for a full ten minutes, reading every word over and over as if he were making sure of something, or perhaps simply delaying the inevitable.

“Yes. Evander and the other five were transferred from the farm to the Military Inspection Committee this afternoon. Once the paperwork is complete, they’ll be released. The commission didn’t make things difficult for them, and Gunther’s injuries have already been treated.” Weston paused. “But Gunther’s military career is over. The Military Inspection Committee ruled it a semes disciplinary violation and recommended a dishonorable discharge along with referral to military court. As for Evander and the others, they’ll be demoted and reassigned.”
Gregory tapped the desk twice Tap. Tap.
He didn’t comment on the outcome. He simply picked up his pen and signed the agreement
