Chapter 1257: Easily Resolving Disputes (III)
A hubbub of conversation broke out. Director General Zhao, Gan Wuliang, and others all frowned. Why was Li Hao suddenly singing Lin Hongyu’s praises? Did he intend to give her more power?
That... was fine. It wasn’t that significant.
To Director General Zhao and the rest, Lin Hongyu already wielded significant power. She was the second Skystar commander after Li Hao and led the Skystar Commander Office. Almost all of the armies in the world answered to the Skystar Commander Office.
Strictly speaking, her authority exceeded Director General Zhao’s. She was truly the foremost personage among the military.
Some quite envied her, such as Gan Wuliang and Chen Zhongtian. Was Lin Hongyu getting promoted again? How? Was there anything left to promote her to?
Some snuck secret glances at Lin Hongyu. They’d been in the middle of a meeting—it was a very important one that went over progress reports of the various initiatives to date. They’d only learned about Li Hao utilizing the sky canopies when they were halfway through. Clad in green, Lin Hongyu sat in the head seat and quietly watched the screens.
“My parents died when I was young and my master in martial dao and school... unfortunately left me a few days ago,” Li Hao chuckled softly. “He might be asleep, or... he might be fully dead! A lot of people have died in order to safeguard the world and ensure peace through the land. My master, my team captain when I was in Silver Moon province, my director, big brothers that protected me, and seniors that looked after me have all fallen in battle...”
The world was silent. This was new knowledge to many.
“There are bound to be sacrifices in our grand endeavor,” Li Hao said softly. “But when those sacrificed are our family, friends, and elders... It makes it all the more difficult to accept.
“I am the only one left of the Li family now, yet the war continues!
“I don’t know if I can lead everyone to a brighter future, but I know that I will spend my life fighting for Skystar, this world, everyone, and all of life! I want our descendants to be able to cultivate with peace of mind, to thrive and prosper, to have full bellies and warm homes, to have opportunities to soar to the heavens, to be able to attend school and broaden their minds, to satisfy their material needs and spiritual goals!
“Perhaps this is just a dream, but we all need dreams in our lives, don’t we? Our enemies are numerous—those New Martial traitors, powerhouses from other worlds, and even exalted emperors known as masters of the world that can destroy a universe with one punch!
