Lin Fei's answer made Elder Wu smile, "We, the ten elders, are not the kind to hold grudges. Besides, in our eyes, when will retribution ever end? The interests of the nation are above all else. We won't abandon the country's prosperity for personal reasons, so yes, you killed my grandson, but that's because my grandson was indeed wrong. Here, on behalf of myself, I apologize to you for my grandson and past matters."

Lin Fei was taken aback, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Although the Commander was apologizing on his own behalf, he was still an elder!

This made Lin Fei even more admire the magnanimity of the ten elders!

He never thought that the elders not only didn't hold anything against him but also apologized to him. Lin Fei was genuinely at a loss because the elders' thoughts and actions were simply unfathomable.

"Elder Wu, this matter really has little to do with you. You don't need to apologize," said Lin Fei. After all, the matter was an enmity between him and Wu Yufeng, Elder Wu's grandson. Elder Wu himself had no need to apologize to Lin Fei. Let's not forget, Lin Fei did kill Wu Yufeng, Elder Wu's grandson.

No matter how unpopular, to an elder, it's still their child. Lin Fei understood this even more after meeting Keke, so he knew that Elder Wu must still feel pity.

But Elder Wu didn't do anything to him. On the contrary, he expressed an apology to Lin Fei. If this couldn't resolve the enmity, there really would be no justice in the world.

"Regardless, he was my grandson. His mistakes cannot be erased by death. I apologize to you, hoping you won't blame the nation over these grievances. Besides, your departure was my doing at that time. I won't speak of the circumstances then; it was a mistake I made inadvertently, so I apologize," Elder Wu said.

Lin Fei nodded, "Elder Wu, I accept your apology."

A few Commanders smiled, Elder Qin spoke, "Let me answer your questions now. As Elder Wu mentioned, you have always been under our surveillance. We hope you won't reject this kind of monitoring."

Lin Fei shrugged helplessly, not knowing about this surveillance at all, which was what puzzled him most. He wasn't aware of where their spies were, yet he was monitored so meticulously. Damn, the strength of a country is indeed extraordinary.

"I have nothing to oppose it with anyway, since I don't even know how you monitored me, so fine," Lin Fei pretended to be lighthearted.

Elder Qin laughed, "Actually, it's not that we can't tell you. Do you know how many satellites we launch into space each year? We used ultra-high-fidelity satellites to locate you. As long as you're on Earth, you cannot escape our eyes."

At this moment, Elder Wu added, "The images from these satellites aren't clear enough."

"..." Lin Fei was speechless, yet he still asked, "Using satellites to locate me? You hold me in pretty high regard."

Elder Qin shook his head, "You're special, so we specifically set a satellite to observe you."

"Why is that?" Lin Fei asked.

Elder Sun spoke, "This is also key to answering your question. You asked why we conferred the rank of Admiral upon you. I can tell you clearly, this was planned over ten years ago."

Lin Fei looked surprised, "Decided to make me an Admiral over ten years ago? Are you elders joking with me?"

The Commanders laughed, and Elder Wei spoke, "How long a country can remain strong depends on the vision of its executors. We planned everything over a decade ago; it's not strange. But you are indeed different, and that's because of an accident caused by Wu Lao, which has made you unique."

Elder Qin interjected at this moment, "It was this accident that made us appreciate you more. In our eyes, you were a complete traitor from the time you left Mo Country, and we were actually ready to exclude you from the board. However, it was your capabilities that once again made us take notice."

"What do you mean by that? Is it because of Hell's Judgement Mercenary Group?" Lin Fei asked, as the Mercenary Group seemed like his biggest bargaining chip. Otherwise, he believed he wouldn't be here.

"You're right. After you left Mo Country, we should have eliminated you due to the many secrets you know about Mo Country, which you must be aware of," Elder Qin said.

Lin Fei nodded. He was once the head of the Dragon Soul Junior Group, naturally knowing many internal secrets of Mo Country. He anticipated being hunted by Mo Country, yet it didn't happen.

"You should thank Elder Wu for that. Without him, you might have long been a national fugitive," Elder Sun said, "Back then, the majority of us ten elders decided to kill you. It was Elder Wu who asked us to give you a chance, leading us to rescind the order and monitor your every move."

Elder Wu laughed at this moment, continuing, "Later, upon observing you, we found no acts of betrayal against the nation. Instead, you built the Hell's Judgement Mercenary Organization step by step, earning me quite a bit of face in front of these old guys. You brought me much credit."

Lin Fei was dumbfounded, not expecting so much to lie behind the scenes. Nor did he expect that his every move had been observed by the elders, who had been watching him for so many years.

Elder Qin spoke, "Your performance has greatly satisfied us, the ten elders. But all of this was achieved through your own efforts. We saw your hard work and sweat; it's true that the country didn't assist you. However, you are ultimately someone who emerged from Mo Country. We hope you can agree to one request from us, the ten elders."

Lin Fei was puzzled. He didn't understand why Elder Qin suddenly said that, so he responded, "You can tell me your requirements; there's no need to be so polite with me."

Elder Qin shook his head, "This matter concerns the country's future, so it must be handled carefully and not decided without your consent. We know you are honest and trustworthy, so we believe in you."

"Then please tell me anything Lin Fei can do, and I will definitely agree," Lin Fei said. Since all misunderstandings have been cleared, the country is still his country. Moreover, the country didn't abandon him, and he wouldn't abandon the country.
