Before The Meeting

BAM!

"Major!" Vera and Luka exclaimed in unison as Jax hit the wall.

Cracks formed on the area where Jax landed, and he threw up a mouthful of blood, "Guh!"

Vera and Luka immediately ran to his side as he fell face-first on the floor.

Few hours had passed when Jax and the rest of the army canceled the operation and retreated. After cleaning up and finishing their documentation, Jax with Luka and Vera returned to the Royal Army Headquarters to report.

Initially, Jax wanted to come alone because he knew that Gael had been in a foul mood. He knew that Gael would not be satisfied without venting out his anger. However, Luka and Vera insisted on coming with him because they did not want Jax to bear Gael's fury alone.

True to their premonition, after Gael read their report, he was so angry that he directly blasted Jax on the wall.
