After Johnnie asked his question, only Cameron and Aiden's faces changed suddenly among everyone in the room.
Aiden forced a slightly stiff smile and looked up slightly as he answered:
"Right now, we need to make sure we have enough strength. You are very important to the entire Montemar Empire, and even more important to Earth. We can't afford any mistakes."
"Yeah, Johnnie, if something happens to you, these people won't just cooperate easily. We should think carefully and not act on impulse." Cameron added, looking at Lisa, the mechanical Domains, and others.
Johnnie looked at Aiden and Cameron with a half-smile, and nodded.
"You're right. Let me think about it again."
"The meeting is over for now. Everyone can go."
Aiden and Cameron didn't want to leave, but everyone else was watching them closely.
Aiden awkwardly rubbed his nose. He knew Johnnie probably had something more to say.
Everyone stayed still, all eyes on Aiden and Cameron.
