That night, Max called for a secret emergency meeting with the seven other representatives from the Eight-Nation Alliance.
During the private meeting, Max insisted on his support, which only made the situation head for the worst.
Nelson was dead.
It was almost a given thing that Nathan would take over Nelson as the next president.
Under his guidance and command, Eurasia, a large nation in the East, would likely gain control of the entire world.
At the same time, Euriasis would likely challenge the positions of nations such as Ariarica that used to hold power over the rest of the world.
If they wanted to remain overlords of the world, they had to curb the rise of Eurasia.
If they wanted to prevent Eurasia from dominating the world, they had to overthrow Nathan first.
Once they brought down Nathan, Master of the Dragon of the East, they could kick Eurasia back into the abyss.
Miyamoto Kuoni, the military governor of Jetroina, could not stop himself from asking, “Admiral Max, it doesn't seem like we can overturn the decision for Nathan to become the President of Eurasia. He is about to gain more power. What should we do about it?”
The rest of the leaders looked at Max with anticipation.
“If the Dragon of the East wants to spread its wings and take off, we shall shoot it down,” Max snarled as he narrowed his eyes.
“Since we can't change the fact that Nathan will become the next
President of Eurasia, our only other choice is to destroy him.”
Destroy him?
Uncertain of what Max meant, everyone stared at him blankly.
After a dramatic pause, Max slowly muttered, “Well, I plan to behead Nathan the moment he officially takes over the office in front of everyone.”
Without hesitation, he announced, “I want him dead at the ceremony and captured on the live broadcast for the world to see.”
At once, Miyamoto Kuoni and the rest gasped at his words.
However, even the Gods of War might have to concede to them if they had to assassinate others.
If each country gathered these men who had been living in seclusion, they would be able to form an impeccable team of powerhouses. Given so, they could succeed in the plan to sneak into Eurasia to assassinate Nathan.
After everyone understood Max's plan, it did not take long before they enthusiastically started naming legends in their nations.
Miyamoto Kuoni fromjetroina exclaimed, “In Jetroina, we have a well-known fighter that goes by the name, Mido Swordsman. He is a true swordsman who can part the sea with his sword.”
Tyrell did not want to lose out. Thus, he also boasted, “We also have a legendary man from our nation, Nine Lights. His hobby is sparring with others. From what I know, he has challenged many other masters from other nations and has always defeated them within three moves. I guess he has wiped out more fighters than his hair.”
The representatives of the other nations could not help but boast about their highly-skilled fighters.
With a smile, Max chuckled, “Okay, I trust that everyone has such powerful fighters in their nations. Our next step is to work hard to gather these men to work for us. They will be the best assassination team formed to get rid of Nathan.”
Stroking his chin, he announced, “Let's call this operation Project Dragon Slayer.”
At that, everyone replied in unison, “Sure!”
