The debate gradually turned into an argument.
Ivanovic patiently held back his forces and finally got what he wanted... a weapon.
"Quiet!"
After Ivanovic spoke, he released a recording, which had just been transmitted from Azure Star, of a conversation between Captain Bai Yi and the two kids, Ma Ergou and Lin Shu.
"We have a request..."
"The Independent Group is singular."
"We want to join the Independent Group."
"Do we, really, have all the time in the world?"
"This is your war, and it is also our war!"
The conference room and video channels fell silent.
Ivanovic smiled inwardly but maintained a blank expression.
He said, "There's no need for us to argue any further about whether these two kids can come to the Alien Planet, or whether they should become Mecha Warriors and participate in the war. These decisions should be left to the Independent Group, to be decided by General Ji Xinghe, to be decided by Major Ji Rongxinyue."
