It was only when Sian and his group stepped into the conference hall that they realized no one had even noticed their arrival.
The entire hall was in chaos.
"I told you sending the Third Corps was a stupid decision!"
A burly man slammed both hands onto the table, making the glasses of water tremble violently.
"And now we've lost twenty Awakeners! Are you satisfied now?"
"We've already lost contact with more than four satellite bases! Are you planning to keep sitting on your ass, doing nothing, and waiting until disaster comes knocking on our door? Use your brain, you idiot!"
"At least I'm not stupid enough to send our best men to their deaths! You damn fool!"
One of the commanders shot to his feet, his bloodshot eyes blazing with fury.
"Say that again if you're really a man!"
The other commander stood as well.
"I'll say it a thousand times if I have to!"
