"Southern Theater Command, Battalion Commander of the Guard Regiment!"

After Battalion Commander Hong finished speaking,

Inoue Kumaji and others, unaware of the internal workings of the military, only assumed that Takahito held a high position in the north.

So high-ranking that even the headquarters' guard regiment came to protect him!

But Sean, Cook's lieutenant, had a different idea!

The headquarters' guard regiment!

That was the commander's most trusted confidant.

Even if Gao Ren and Commander Xu have a good relationship, it's not enough for Commander Xu to send a battalion of his personal guard regiment to protect Gao Ren!

unless.....

The moment the idea popped into Sean's mind,

Sean was shocked by his own idea. Then, he made an excuse,

"Excuse me,"

"I have a bit of an upset stomach, I need to go to the restroom!"

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Sean hurriedly went to the restroom.

But when Sean arrived at the restroom, he didn't intend to use it. Instead, after checking that no one else was in the restroom, he grabbed the satellite phone from the guard next to him and called Cook again!

"Sean, have you picked up Mr. Gao?"

When Cook asked him about it, Sean replied that there wasn't one yet.

He then began to voice all his guesses.

On the other end of the phone, Cook heard that Battalion Commander Hong was actually the guard regiment under Commander Xu...

His expression immediately turned thoughtful.

As the commander, he was well aware of the importance of his personal guard regiment.

To put it bluntly, aside from himself, even Congress couldn't mobilize his personal guard.

But this very important guard regiment was ended up being sent by Commander Xu to serve as Gao Ren's bodyguard...

Is there a shortage of soldiers in the north?

Is this possible?

Since it's not a shortage of soldiers in the north, then there's only one possibility left...

The north is already preparing to have Gao Ren replace Commander Xu.

Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense why the North would send members of their elite guard unit, all of whom are essentially assassins, to serve as Gao Ren's bodyguards...
