"Eternal Night Church was wiped out?"
Abe Jiro's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Qin Wangyan. His face held not only shock, but also traces of suspicion and other indescribable emotions.
"Well done! Hahahaha... As expected of Dragon Glory Special District—your strength truly is extraordinary!!"
The Secretary-General's aged face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and the excitement in his eyes was fully projected by the hologram.
"District Chief Qin, I'll convene the Federation's highest council again in a few days. Prepare yourself, then give us the details of this operation. It's been a long time since we've had news this inspiring, hahaha...!"
"Certainly!"
Qin Wangyan nodded. This was a perfect opportunity to raise Dragon Glory Special District's prestige, so how could he possibly let it pass?
"By the way, Mr. Secretary-General, District Chief Abe may have some misunderstanding about our entry into Sakura Special Zone. I think you should explain things to District Chief Abe first."
Qin Wangyan looked at Abe Jiro, whose expression was utterly colorful, and curled his lips slightly as he spoke softly.
"Oh? I nearly forgot!"
The Secretary-General slapped his forehead, then turned his projection toward Abe Jiro beside him.
"District Chief Abe, you can't blame District Chief Qin for this. I tacitly approved it. This operation against the Eternal Night Church was no trivial matter—the fewer people who knew about the plan, the better. I hope you can understand."
"It seems District Chief Qin doesn't trust us. Such a major operation, yet you didn't even inform us in advance!"
Abe Jiro's eyes flickered. He knew the matter was already settled. Since the Eternal Night Church had been destroyed, anything he said now would be too late.
"Yes, that's right. I simply don't trust you."
Qin Wangyan nodded without denying it, speaking bluntly in response
