Chapter 277: Disagreement
"Okay let’s go. I don’t think we have much time, right?" Henry stated as he looked at a certain direction. From that direction, he could see that Stanley was actually approaching them.
Olivia and Adam turned around and looked in the same direction. When Olivia saw that her brother was coming over, she realized that he was here to pick her up.
They had already identified that she was stronger. And since that was the case, that implied that the group that she had come together with was strong as well.
"Are you guys ready?" Stanley asked after he arrived.
Olivia and the rest of the group nodded their heads. Seeing this, Stanley turned around and led the way as he spoke, "You guys are not part of the group that my father leads. So, you are free to do what you want. You can decide to join the battle, or you can decide to remain inside here.
But once you go out of the territory, you have to remember one thing, you will have to follow all the orders that you are being given. It is not just about how strong we are, but we have to follow the orders given by those that are leading the battle this time."
Olivia looked at her brother with a frown on her face. She already knew what he was trying to imply. Since he had already realized that she was stronger than he was, then that implied that Henry, as the leader of the group, was definitely stronger than she was.
So perhaps Stanley was thinking that Henry was going to start doing things on his own, rather than following the commands that he would be given during the time that they would be out for battle.
She looked at Henry from the corners of her eyes, but she realized that there was no change of expression on his face at all. It was as if whatever Stanley was talking about didn’t concern him at all.
"It might be true that we are going to follow the orders that you are going to give, but there are definitely some of them that if we are given, we are not going to follow them." Olivia stated with a serious expression on her face as she looked at her brother.
After hearing what she had said, Stanley stopped and turned around to look at them. Looking at the expression that was on his younger sister’s face, he could tell that she was serious about what she was saying. So instead of focusing on her, Stanley looked at Henry and Adam. The two of them did not have any shift of expression, and he could not tell what the two of them were thinking.
"You can tell that to father. As for me, I was told to tell you this." Stanley shrugged his shoulder as he stated. Immediately after that, he turned around and continued moving.
Olivia on the other hand hesitated for a moment. But after thinking about the power level that the group possessed as a whole, she decided that she was going to talk to her father about this. If her father decided to give a command that was going to go against Henry and the group, this was definitely going to be troublesome.
She was not willing to see the two sides fight. So, it was better if they could come to an agreement about what they were going to do. Additionally, she was not sure if Henry was going to follow commands, when he had been the one that had been giving commands during the past few weeks that they were in Crystal City.
"You don’t have to worry much. Let us go and see what is going on. If it’s something that we can take care of, we’ll deal with it right now." Henry stated when he looked at the hesitant expression that flashed on Olivia’s face.
Olivia nodded. From the looks of it, Henry was not a person that was going to look for trouble. Of course, this was something that she had already noticed from long ago. As long as he was not provoked, Henry was a good person overall.
But in case a person became his enemy, then that person would definitely have it difficult. That was the exact reason why she was not willing to have her family go against Henry. As for the territory, she really did not care about the territory considering that she was pretty sure that this territory would at the end of the day either join another, or be destroyed in the future.
The group of three went ahead and joined together with Julie who had been waiting for them not for away from the mansion. With that, they went ahead and equipped themselves. Of course Henry was carrying everything that he needed inside his idle space.
Adam and the others did not have the same privileges as he did. So, they could only carry their weapons and other equipment around with them, or they could leave them in their rooms in case they did not need them completely.
After the group was equipped, Stanley could not help but be a little surprised. The level of the equipment that this group was putting on was definitely higher as compared to the one that he was currently possessing.
In fact, the level of the equipments that they were having were at the same level as the one that the top echelons of the territory possessed. At this moment, Stanley was sure that in case someone greedy saw the equipment that Henry and the group were having, they would definitely be targeted.
During the time that Olivia and the group had arrived at the territory, at that time, they were putting on full equipment. Just like now, they were wearing their armors, and weapons. At that time, he did not focus on the equipment at all. But right now, looking at them, he realized that they were of high quality.
"Save it for later. Let us go out of the territory first." Olivia realized that her brother was about to say something, so, she prevented him from saying it.
Henry on the other hand looked at Stanley and asked, "About my car, am I not yet allowed to take it?" Until now, Henry had not been allowed to take the Jeep.
It was still in the same position, but after making an observation the previous time that he went in that area, Henry realized that there was a group of people that were trying to gain access into the Jeep.
"I’m sorry but I cannot make a decision on something like that. I do doubt that even my father can make a decision on that Jeep of yours." Stanley shook his head as he responded.
"What do you mean? I thought that father said that he was going to handle this matter? Additionally, what is wrong with the Jeep? It is not as if the Jeep is the only vehicle that is present in the entire territory, right?" Olivia asked with squinted eyes as she looked at Stanley.
"There’s someone else with the same position as father who is also paying attention to the Jeep. And since the Jeep is looking kind of different from the vehicles here, that person is suggesting that we need to research on that Jeep. But since father is against it, nothing can progress.
Due to this reason, father and that person don’t have any other choice but to wait for the leader of the territory to make a decision on what is going to happen." Stanley stated helplessly.
His father Vincent had been trying to get the Jeep into the territory, in the area where people resided. But there was someone else who was always competing against him, that thought otherwise.
He thought that the Jeep looked more advanced, and if they could gain the technology that was used in making the Jeep, they could improve the power of the territory.
Vincent on the other hand insisted that the Jeep did not belong to the territory. So, there was no way that they were going to do research on a vehicle that did not belong to them.
Since the two sides could not come to an agreement and they held the same positions and power, the Jeep had to remain in the same position, and wait for the decision of the leader of the territory.
But this was something that Stanley was worried about. He was worried that the leader of the territory was going to make the same decision as the other guy who was competing against his father. In that situation, in case Henry felt offended, didn’t that mean that he was going to be their enemy?
It was better to be an ally of a person as strong as Henry, rather than becoming his enemy. So, although it was not going to be directly related to his family, nevertheless, his family was located in the same territory.
So, if the territory became Henry’s enemy, that implied that they were going to be Henry’s enemies as well. As for Olivia, she was going to be forced to decide on which side she was going to support.
"It’s okay. But I hope that by the time that I’ll be going out of this place, nobody is going to prevent me from getting out with my car." Henry stated simply.
But for those that knew him well, they understood that Henry was meaning it. In case they tried to prevent him from getting out of this place with his car, then they were definitely asking for trouble.
Since all the preparations were done, Olivia and the rest of the group went out and joined the rest of the members of the territory that were under Vincent, ready to defend the territory.
