231 War!

The underground base.

Unlike all other days when the main hall was usually quiet, today- it was filled to the brim. Every high officials from the surrounding cities had rushed all the way here. Almost every Rebellion leaders of the city- from small squadron leaders to the ones whose beck and call could shift the whole organisation- joined the rally.

Acting leader Berkeley strode to and fro in his office. He was not alone in the room. On two of the crouches, sat the guests- Adrian and Irene. Both of them had their eyes fixed on the bald man.

The handsome young man who escorted them to the base on their first day was standing before the closed door.

"What will I do? What will I do?" The man muttered as he went back and forth. He stopped and turned to the young man. "Has any letters arrived yet?"
