Chapter 70 New Technology
Jeffery was the head instructor of the ApexGuardians in the covert unit SilentSentinels.
He had never encountered more awkward situations than now.
At this moment, he had nothing more to say!
He stood at attention, in a standard military posture, in front of the desk, deeply frustrated and silent.
'Even if I ordered six fully armed squads to surround the Brown Family estate, so what?'
'Even if I carried a national conscription order, so what?'
'If Gary doesn't approve, I still can't take Elbert away...'
Thought of these, he was extremely upset.
"Jeffery, I just don't get it. Why do you want to take Elbert away? Besides, Gary disagrees with this!" Mr. Brown felt Gary's pressure and said, "Jeffery, hurry up and withdraw your men! If neighbors see that, they will think I committed a crime!"
Jeffery shook his head with a bitter smile. "You really weren't wrong when you said you lacked insight, Mr. Brown! Do you really think Elbert is just an ordinary person?"
Mr. Brown was taken aback: "Isn't he?"
Jeffery sighed and said slowly, "You know the caliber of my soldiers, right?"
"I know," Mr. Brown said seriously. As for Jeffery himself, their decades-long friendship allowed for some occasional banter.
But Jeffery's soldiers were absolutely the elite of the military—top-notch experts!
Not to mention, Mr. Brown was well aware of the capabilities of Iron Four and the others.
They were practically walking combat machines!
Mr. Brown had deep respect for Jeffery's training methods and his formidable soldiers.
"A few of my new recruits had a bit of a misunderstanding with Elbert earlier," After a pause, Jeffery said with a bitter expression, "A team of six, 43 seconds, and Elbert knocked them all out! Then, he punched my third-ranked squad leader flying with a single hit!"
"What?" Mr. Brown, who was about to find a chair to sit on, suddenly froze, nearly missing his seat!
"Don't be fooled by the fact that I brought six squads today. If it came to hand-to-hand combat. These dozens of men might not be able to stop Elbert!" Jeffery said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Brown looked at Elbert in utter shock.
He knew very well that knocking out six of Jeffery's men in 43 seconds was unbelievable.
'That level of combat prowess can only be described as terrifying,'
'He clearly looks so frail!'
'Even somewhat delicate!'
'How could he possibly be associated with those muscle-bound war machines?'
'This lad.'
'Mastering national economics, making the Clark family's heiress bow to him, and with just a thought, he could destroy a billion-dollar company?'
'Now, because of his incredible combat skills, the military bigwigs are fighting over him.'
'He's profiecient in both scholarly and martial arts.'
'This is a bit terrifying!'
'Moreover, he is probably Gary's disciple!'
'In every aspect, he is a top-tier figure!'
'That's ridiculous.'
'I actually set up a banquet earlier, hoping to use some young people to provoke Elbert!'
'Now it seems the few "elites" I invited were a complete joke in Elbert's eyes!'
After thinking for a long while, Mr. Brown snapped back to reality.
"Jeffery, Gary knows what you need to do," Alan said.
Gary slowly spoke, "That matter is indeed a national necessity, and it is something our Veridiania soldiers must achieve to stand on the international stage."
He then added, "And I also know that in this area of research, our Veridiania military is outdated, not only behind other countries but even behind many private organizations!"
Jeffery was initially stunned upon hearing this, but then he understood.
He smiled bitterly, "Amazing, Gary, you are just casually revealing the highest-level secrets of our Veridiania military. It seems you haven't been idle all these years."
Leonard also sighed, "Jeffery, even if he wanted to be idle, he couldn't! Gary has saved the lives of all 13 of our Veridiania star generals. Each one of them has visited Gary, wanting to invite him back to the military to lead the research department again! I work at the Wavehaven Police Department, so I know these things very well!"
Gary just shook his head slightly and continued, "Jeffery, I understand your feelings. As a general, your intentions are not wrong."
Gary took a deep breath and said, "The rise and fall of the nation is everyone's responsibility. I can help with that matter!"
Jeffery's eyes suddenly lit up. "Really?"
Gary paused and then said, "But there's no need for Elbert to go now. I will help you. In the future, if he has to go, I'll arrange it."
"Alright, I'll follow your instructions!"
Jeffery seemed to have rekindled hope.
Gary's involvement was a complete surprise.
Even more so than taking Elbert away.
In his eyes, with Gary's involvement, the project would definitely see breakthrough progress!
Jeffery instinctively looked at Elbert, who had been quietly listening.
"Elbert, aren't you curious about what we're discussing?" Jeffery asked.
Elbert smiled slightly. "To be honest, I've figured it out."
"That's Impossible!" Jeffery found it hard to believe.
Elbert calmly said, "You are discussing national-level secrets, right? If I'm not mistaken. As far as I know, Mr. Brown's FutureTech Group has been engaged in medical device research! What's more interesting is that I discovered Mr. Brown has set up a secret department within the group, which even vice presidents and below have no access to."
"Elbert, how do you know that?" Mr. Brown looked increasingly astonished!
Elbert smiled again. "Recently, the Veridiania military has been recruiting individuals with special abilities nationwide. They even went so far as to initiate a conscription order. Combining this with the recent international rumors of special humans appearing on the internet, I guessed that the Veridiania military and the FutureTech Group must have some cooperation. For example, researching the human optimization technology."
At this point, Elbert looked up and smiled. "In other words, the so-called cyborgs."
