After a long silence, one ability-user finally stepped forward and said, "Captain, it wasn't easy for me to get into the special forces. I don't want to retire."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your service all these years. Before you leave, I will divide some supplies and crystal cores for you."
Hearing this, the rest of those who wanted to leave finally spoke up. Most were unwilling to retire after working so hard to join the special forces.
While Xiao Qi and the others felt upset, seeing them as traitors, Jin Xuyan had no objections. He would rather they leave than follow him unwillingly.
Once their decisions were made, Jin Xuyan stood up and saluted them. The soldiers returned his salute.
Lowering his hand, he said, "Brothers, I wish you all a bright future and safety. Meeting adjourned."
With that, he turned and left the room.
Watching his firm steps as he left, those who chose to leave lowered their heads.
