“That’s amazing! Surrendering is the smart choice here.”
Almost every Supreme class fighter there was cheering wildly.
Medical Elite scanned the crowd before asking, “Let’s put it to a vote. Those who want to surrender… I mean, join forces with the Ruling Union, speak up now.”
“I want to join the Ruling Union!”
“Me too!”
It didn’t take long for over ten superiors to cast their votes.
Almost everyone agreed to surrender.
“I will not surrender. I shall persist!”
“That’s right. Surrendering and joining the enemy is such a cowardly and embarrassing thing to do. I, Bernard Leigh, refuse to do so!”
“Hell yeah! No matter what happens, I, Tobias Lofton, will not abandon Erudia or my ancestral roots!”
Fortunately, there were some opposing voices as well.
Some martial artists were still honorable and loved their country.
Only a handful were that firm, but they still existed.
“Bernard, Tobias, are you two nuts? You will both die if you don’t join the Ruling Union. Hell, everyone will die because of it!”
“Is it really worth it to lay down your life for those common folks?”
Carter and his gang were quick to scold them.
Everyone stared at those honorable heroes like they were fools.
Tobias and the others grinned before saying, “I don’t know if it is worth it, but the refusal to admit defeat runs deep in my veins, and loyalty is carved in my bones. I will not betray my ancestors!”
“You said it right! We will not let our enemy have the land underneath our feet so long as we still have one breath left.”
The firm stance of the men inspired their subordinates to support them.
However, Carter and the others only saw them as retarded lunatics.
“We’re in the twenty-first century. How are you still talking about your ancestors?”
“History is written by the victor! We can’t help you if you insist on being the retard of the stories. You will die for no reason.”
“We’re joining the Ruling Union. You lot can wait and die here!”
The Medical Elite ancient family decided to abandon Bernard and the rest to join the Ruling Union.
Medical Elite even ordered, “Carter, take a few men and discuss the matter with the Ruling Union. Tell them we are sincere and would like to join them.”
“Okay, Grandpa. I promise I will accomplish the mission,” said Carter, who was extremely delighted.
Yes! We will finally be safe.
“F*cking traitorous assh*les. You will all die a horrible death!”
“Traitors! Those are nothing but a bunch of traitors who are unworthy of being Erudian.”
Bernard and his friends cussed angrily.
Carter grinned and pointed out, “You guys are just talking sh*t now. Will you remain that stubborn when death comes knocking on your door?”
“Shameful traitors!”
“Your ancestors will be embarrassed of you!”
Several men howled angrily.
“Good job dissing them! How can you guys betray our country and our ancestors like that?” growled a woman cruelly.
Abigail had shown up.
She couldn’t believe it when she heard that Carter and the others were going to surrender.
The government already recognized the Medical Elite ancient family.
Hell, the government even appointed Carter as a National Guardian.
How can he surrender?
Abigail was disappointed to hear such a thing.
Is this the man I am going to marry?
“Abigail, how is that betrayal? This is called being smart. It’s not surrendering, either. We are simply negotiating a deal and protecting our legacies.
“This war didn’t have much to do with us in the first place. Look around. Plenty of powerful figures from Erudia are protecting themselves and surviving. If they can do it, then so can we, since we are the people who are not really affected one way or another. We’ve done more than our fair share by fighting thus far. Those who love the ordinary commoners can go ahead and fight for them, but we won’t.
“Also, we’re not the only ones who are joining the Ruling Union. You must join the organization as well!” said Carter.
Abigail shook her head immediately and replied, “No, I will not surrender along your side!”
