Elena and Isaiah exchanged glances. They are indeed mysterious. All of you don't even recognize him when he's standing right before your eyes.

Iris said in front of everyone, "Our boss is amazing. He's capable of purchasing the equipment from the Warzone Defense Research And Development Centre. My admiration for him grows more by the day."

"Ms. Anabelle, since you're still single, you should consider pursuing the boss if he's single too." Doug and the others teased her.

Iris nodded brazenly. "I will definitely pursue him if he's single! I will become your lady boss in the future!"

Iris had grown accustomed to the culture abroad. She did not shy away from expressing her thoughts.

Levi frowned upon hearing her words. She's hopeless for harboring an interest in her best friend's husband.

Morris Group's procurement spread like wild fire among North Hampton's business world.

Countless were shocked to their cores, including the wealthiest man in North Hampton, Winston Gonzales. "Morris Group sure has the guts and capabilities to purchase the equipment under the Chamber's supervision."

The harsh reality hit the members of the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce harder than anyone else.

Ron Bale and the other councils of the Chamber were losing their minds.

They were overwhelmed by a sense of defeat after failing twice consecutively, in addition to Phantasma's arrest. Our reputation will be dragged through the mud if the four noble families hear about this.

"Shall we cease all actions and assess their intention for now?" Ron and the others decided to stop targeting Morris Group temporarily.

Morris Group increased the rate of their production in secret in the last few days.

Levi could finally enter Morris Group freely after Iris appointed him as one of the technical advisors. There are not many people who know my identity anyway.

Nevertheless, Levi appeared to laze around most of the time in the outsiders' eyes.. They would always see him drinking coffee and puffing on his cigarette while waiting to get off work.

Even Iris was barely suppressing her urge to rebuke Levi's attitude.

However, none of them knew Levi was the one actually making all the most important decisions in the company.

One day, Azure Dragon and Kirin arrived at Levi's office while he was sipping on his tea.

"I have something to tell you, Sir. They recently appointed someone to fill in the position of commander-in-chief in the North Hampton Warzone. They will be hosting an appointment ceremony. The vice commander-in-chief, Xander Hoyles, would like to invite you to attend the ceremony." Azure Dragon said.

Levi smiled. "Do I have to go?"

Kirin answered, "Under normal circumstances, you do not have to attend. But the newly appointed commander-in-chief is someone you're acquainted with. He's even one of your subordinates!"

Levi pondered briefly. Then he said, "Could the person you're talking about be the Iron Brigade's first platoon commander-in-chief, Percy Covington?" Percy Covington is a brilliant soldier. But he retired from the frontline after suffering an injury. He's been recuperating in the last two years. He's my only subordinate who I think qualifies for the commander-in-chief position.

Kirin nodded. "Yes. That's right. That person is Percy Covington!"

"Alright. Inform the North Hampton Warzone that I will be attending the commander-in-chief's appointment ceremony. I must witness my subordinate's moment of glory!" Levi ordered.

"Understood, Sir!"

All the soldiers in the North Hampton Warzone were exhilarated when they received the news of Levi's participation, especially Xander Hoyles. He was beyond excited. I was worried he would not come previously. Now I can finally rest assured.

Xander Hoyles deliberately informed members of the four noble families, who were in control of the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce, Eric Robinson, Wallace Henderson, and the others.

Eric Robinson and his friends were so enlivened they nearly forgot about the matters related to Morris Group. These matters are insignificant when compared to this ground-shattering news.

"Has the most glorious moment of our lives arrived? We can finally meet with the protector of Erudia, the God of War, in person!"

"I can finally die in peace after having this opportunity to meet with the God of War!"
