Chapter 493 United or Alone
After hanging up, Thora’s lips curved slightly as she idly spun the silver handgun in her hand.
Finished
Five hours later, Thora and her team arrived at the outskirts of the city, the meeting point she had arranged
with Roxen and the others.
The remaining groups showed up one after another. In the end, three teams gathered there.
Once everyone fully revealed themselves, they could clearly see that the leaders of the three groups were Roxen, Tobias, and Ryan.
Nearly a hundred teams from the academy were scattered across the world, and only these three had managed to locate this place in the shortest time.
“Roxen.” Ryan greeted him politely. When he looked at Tobias, he only gave a faint nod.
Over the past year, Ryan had already figured out Tobias personality. He was ambitious and willing to do whatever it took.
In Ryan’s eyes, Tobias was always trying to drag Thora down, yet every attempt ended in complete failure. Sometimes Ryan even felt a little sympathy for him. Of all people, he had to go up against someone as powerful and well-rounded as Thora.
Tobias gave them a cold glance before looking at Roxen with a faint smile. “Didn’t expect you to be here, Roxen.”
Roxen curled his lips slightly and replied politely, “Compared to me, I’m more surprised you showed up.”
Tobias’s smile stiffened, and his eyes turned colder. “Looks like your team didn’t come out of it in great shape.”
The injured members of Roxen’s team were obvious. The battered state of everyone present could be seen at a glance.
Roxen’s expression cooled, but he smiled back. “You don’t look much better yourself.”
Ryan stood silently to the side and did not join their exchange.
His team had only arrived at the Golden Triad yesterday, and their casualties had also been heavy. But as someone who had served in the military for years, he was used to losses during missions and did not show much emotion.
Tobias stopped trading barbs with Roxen and asked directly, “Where’s Thora? Our team came because w received her message. I didn’t expect more than just us!
At that moment, the familiar sound of military pants brushing against each other echoed through the a Thora’s voice rang out, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. “Sorry. I’m not late. You’re just early.
They looked up and saw Thora walking toward them with her team. Including her, there were only 10 people, yet their presence was no less imposing than any other team there.
The moment they saw Thora, almost everyone instinctively stood up straight. There was a distinct sense of respect in their eyes. She was the true king of their military academy, the one standing at the very top, just like Adrian back then.

“Thora.” Roxen’s lips curved upward without him realizing it.
Finished
Ryan also nodded in greeting. Not seeing Tristan at her side surprised him a little. He assumed Tristan was carrying out another mission.
Tobias kept a blank expression, but when he noticed how visibly moved his own team members were upon seeing Thora, his eyes darkened further.
He stared at her and spoke stiffly. “Go ahead. You called us here. What exactly are you planning?”
Thora glanced at Tobias. This shameless guy had secretly monitored her intel before, yet now he acted as if nothing had happened. Either his mental composure was incredibly strong, or his skin was just that thick.
Shirley shot Tobias a fierce glare. She wanted to curse him out, but forced herself to hold back.
Tobias’s question was also what Roxen wanted to ask. In the past, everyone had fought on their own. Why had Thora suddenly gathered them all together today?
Thora stepped forward and swept her gaze across the crowd. “Right now, only our three academy teams have reached the Golden Triad. But we all ran into ambushes, and the losses weren’t small. That tells us the enemy knows our academy’s mission patterns and operational style very well. They also know our goal this time is to wipe out the counterfeit syndicate. They coordinated with the syndicate in advance specifically to deal with us. In other words, we’re facing an additional powerful enemy. Whether we plan to eliminate the counterfeit syndicate or not, since they came after us first, we can’t let them walk away unharmed. What do you think?”
She threw the question to the group, her tone firm and unquestionable. The question did not really require
an answer.
“So?” Tobias asked.
He had already considered that point. He wanted to see what Thora was really planning.
Thora glanced at him calmly. “We don’t know the full extent of their armed forces yet, but judging from the scale of their attacks, their numbers aren’t small. Especially the second group. We still don’t have accurate intel on their weapons or their headcount. With your abilities, you might be able to get out safely on your own. But if you want to complete the mission and completely wipe them out, it won’t be easy.”
She paused deliberately, then looked at Tobias and added, “Of course, I’m not targeting anyone.”
With that look in her eyes, it clearly felt like she was targeting someone. And that someone was Tobias.
Tobias’s face turned dark with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.
Seeing his awkward expression, Mike could not help laughing. “Hahaha…”
After two short laughs, he sensed the shift in the atmosphere. He immediately covered his mouth and lightly slapped himself. His mouth was going to get him into trouble one day.
Better to stay quiet and just look at Shirley.
But she did not pay him any attention at all. She did not even spare him a glance.
What Thora said was the truth.
