Chapter 544: Ajax's Bargaining
After Lust had run away, Alexander looked at the soldiers. "Well, your boss is dead, can you take me to your capital? I have a meeting with the president."
The soldiers now saw him in a different light because he saved them and they knew that without him they all would have died. All of them started taking their positions slowly as they overcame the shock of what they just saw.
The highest-ranking man of them came forward, "Yes, sir. We will escort you. We also need to report this incident as well." he said.
But he felt ashamed when he realized that they were supposed to escort him and he was the one who saved them. It didn't make sense to keep on escorting him as he was clearly a one-man army. Now he understood why Amestris sent him alone.
They sat back in their cars and continued on their journey. They didn't even feel bad for the death of James, their Secretary of War. He just so disliked by all.
They moved along the way and no problem arose this time. They safely reached the capital and his escort headed to take him to the president.
But first, the soldiers notified the president through official channels of what happened and why the Secretary of War wasn't here.
The president honestly took a breath of relief when he heard that he was dead. Now he had one less bone stuck in his throat. Now he could truly be the president of his country with ultimate power. But a new bone had arrived with this good news, the envoy from the fricking enemy. But he calmed himself and went to greet him.
He arrived at the office where Alexander was drinking coffee.
