Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Dead End (Added for book friend I Am Tiger King) (5 more Chapters)

Dum dum~

Fleck and the others quickly reached the bottom and came upon an underground passage.

They walked along the passage, where they could see many soldiers of the Abayk Kingdom armed with weapons.

Although these soldiers had no interaction with Fleck and his group, the looks they gave them were unfriendly and disdainful.

However, Fleck and his companions did not mind and continued walking forward.

Soon, they emerged from the passage and arrived at the underground waiting hall of the interstellar airport.

At that moment, an old man wearing a black cap, his face full of wrinkles, dressed in a black vest, hurried over and said to Fleck,

"Vice Principal Fleck, you have finally arrived."

"Wei Le, why have you come alone? And where are the goods we were supposed to transport?"

Vice Principal Fleck looked at Wei Le with some confusion and asked.

"Oh no! Vice Principal Fleck, something bad has happened!"

Wei Le spoke anxiously.

"What happened?"

The words from Wei Le shocked Fleck and the others, their faces darkened as they asked, truly fearing what they worried about had come.

"The area around the mine in Gotosk Rift Valley of the Abayk Kingdom has been occupied by the rebels."

"Rebels? What are you talking about? Rebels from where in the Abayk Kingdom?"

"I don’t know either, but now the whole area has been occupied, and several hundred of our people have been captured. We don’t know what to do!"

Wei Le asked urgently.

"You mean, such a large group of rebels, and the Abayk Kingdom isn’t dealing with it? Haven’t you spoken to them?"

Fleck also thought it was absurd.

"I did speak, how could I not?"

Wei Le replied with a headache.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in a refined gray robe, a cloth wrapped around his head, his skin somewhat dark, approached with a group of soldiers.

This man bowed to Fleck and politely greeted,

"You are Vice Principal Fleck, aren’t you?"

"Who are you?"

Fleck, eyebrows furrowed, asked the man before him.

"I am Martins, a diplomat from the Abayk Kingdom. His Majesty sent me specially to receive you."

Martins introduced himself to Fleck.

"Perfect timing. What about these rebels? Are you just watching our mines being occupied and doing nothing?"

Fleck asked angrily.

"Vice Principal Fleck, let me correct you, the rebels have not only occupied your mine but also the entire nearby region! And it’s not that we don’t want to deal with it, but these rebels are supported by the Imperial Army. How dare we provoke them."

Martins explained to Fleck helplessly.

"Supported by the Imperial Army? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

The faces of Fleck and his companions became extremely grim upon hearing Martins’s words.

"Absolutely certain, since they are supported by the Imperial Army, we truly don’t dare touch them."

"So what do we do now?"

"We are helpless, sir. However, you can fight them and take back the mines."

Martins offered a solution.

"We can’t fight. Those rebels are too strong, they are well-armed. They have Mechas, various weapons against Mechas, and even Anti-ship Missiles for dealing with advanced vessels."

Wei Le hurriedly explained the situation.

Mia and the other teachers heard Wei Le’s description, and each of their faces darkened.

Fleck’s eyebrows knotted, and he said to Martins,

"Mr. Martins, can’t your country send troops to help us?"

"Vice Principal Fleck, aren’t you putting my country in a difficult position? The Imperial Army is so ferocious now, who dares to oppose them? Of course, if you get the Federation to declare protection for us, we will not hesitate to send troops immediately to help you eliminate these rebels."

Martins said to Fleck.

Upon hearing Martins’ words, Fleck almost jumped up; he dared not agree to provide asylum for the Abayk Kingdom.

He would rather forgo the mining area than do such a thing.

However, he still suppressed the fury in his heart and said,

"No, I can’t decide on my own."

"Then I am unable to help."

Seeing that Fleck was unwilling to shelter them, Martins spread his hands helplessly and replied,

"Vice Principal Fleck, what should we do now? We still have so many people in their hands."

Alfam said with furrowed brows.

"Let me think."

Fleck’s head was about to explode.

At that moment, Martins’ eyes flickered, and he coughed before speaking,

"Vice Principal Fleck, how about this? You go back first, and as for the hostages, we will try to negotiate with the rebels and do our best to get them all back for you. How does that sound?"

Fleck squinted his eyes when he heard this, and he replied,

"Lord Martins, let me think about it."

"Very well, I await your response at any time; I shall take my leave now."

"Safe travels!"

"Goodbye."

Martins left with his people.

After Martins had gone far away, the hot-tempered Mr. Chen Yue couldn’t help but curse,

"Damn, these guys are definitely doing this on purpose, what bullshit rebels, they’re probably their own people."

"Chen Yue, watch your words, we’ll discuss it back on the ship."

Fleck spoke coldly, suppressing his anger.

"Okay!"

Chen Yue and the other teachers were forced to suppress their anger.

...

A moment later, Fleck and the others were all gathered in the ship’s conference room.

"You’ve all seen the situation, speak up!"

Fleck said angrily.

"What can we say? It’s clear they’re forcing us to make a decision, either to shelter them or to beat it, leaving all supplies behind."

Mia replied with a yawn, seeing through the petty tricks with one glance.

"If you ask me, they want us to fight them? Then let’s show them what we’ve got!"

Ms. Tang Xuan said furiously.

"No, we can’t fight! Are you kidding? We’ve already lost so many students; if we really go into battle, even if we win, how many students will die?"

Vice Principal Fleck immediately dismissed the idea without second thought; each student’s death made his heart bleed.

At that time, Xiao Ye also spoke up.

"The force of the Red Teeth was already small, and nearly halved during the last rescue, we don’t have the power to fight! If we really have to fight, I guess students and teachers will have to serve as the main force, so I also advise against it."

"Can we ask the military for help?"

Alfam tried to inquire.

"Forget it, they are too busy to care about our trivial matters,"

Mia waved her hand, directly dismissing the idea.

"So what do we do? We definitely can’t just hand over the supplies to the Abayk Kingdom, and if they help us get the hostages back, we’ll owe them a favor!"

Chen Yue said angrily.

"Now what do we do? This pack of old foxes has already set a trap waiting for us! Besides, even if you really have the capability to call reinforcements from somewhere else to fight this band of rebels, not to mention whether it’s worth it or not, I just have two questions. First, can you guarantee the safety of the hostages? Second, if we annihilate the rebels, will the Abayk Kingdom turn against us?"

Mia, quite unlike her usual self, reminded them coldly.

The faces of everyone turned even more unsightly upon hearing Mia’s words; it was simply a dead end.
