A War I Will Not Lose

The room was silent again. Alicia who was outside was still thinking about what she had just heard. She knew that Airon's ambition was very big, but she never thought it would be so big that today it would be considered a child's dream.

After talking for a while, Deanna finally spoke again and Alicia could clearly hear a bit of suppressed doubt from the source of the voice.

"Are you saying that you could be someone who secretly supports me?"

Hearing this question, Airon nodded and said, "That is correct, as I said before my strength right now would be on par or superior to the CRM, the Commonwealth of course is nothing more than people in my eyes, if we compare the two larger organizations I have told you about it would be an organization equivalent to the government in the early days against the people."

"Do you understand the difference between the CRM and the Commonwealth? If I want to avoid deaths or deception, I must merge the Commonwealth with my organization. If I assume my community will grow much larger and also add other organizations, we could easily reach a number in excess of 100,000 survivors."

"Don't be surprised, the 20,000 in my organization are being trained to eliminate walkers, produce weaponry and food. In turn I prepare an army to take care of not only the dead but also the living. Now, the S.C.T. is still in the dark, you must know what that means?"

Airon's words were cold, you could see how he was abnormally calm and in his eyes there was an inexplicable confidence. It was then that Deanna asked again, "What will happen to my family? It's difficult, what do you think I should do?"

"Your children are a problem and they know it, since I am doing everything I can to make this matter easier, of course I am committed to taking care of them, but you have to make the words clear to both of them, and before the details about this matter they should not care."

"So what are you going to do with another organization, that CRM, is that the name?" Monroe asked suddenly.

Airon sighed and said, "I have a person located outside your organization. This person is responsible for collecting talent and delivering it to the CRM. I want to use their relationship to place moles inside that organization. I have already considered that issue in depth. There is only one future and the CRM is not within that, somehow or other I will not lose to them even if I have to destroy the heart of their community."

No one understood the gravity of these words, but Airon as he said this imagined the black candy at the core base of their community.

Deanna sighed and held her chin before saying, "Airon, you are a good leader. I have to admit that I am happy to be one of your strongest plans for the future of the community, but I still have to discuss it with my husband before I give you an answer, okay?"

Airon smiled and nodded, "Of course, you are within your rights to consider it, I will respect your decision on whether or not to go to the Commonwealth."

Monroe smiled reassuringly at Airon's considered words and said, "Thank you very much for considering it Airon, we will talk a lot about this." 

Realizing that the conversation between the two parties was coming to an end, Alicia quickly removed her headset, put things away and trotted toward Deanna's house.

Secretly grabbing the microphone again, she ran home in a hurry, but didn't realize that Airon in the living room had already spotted her figure. 

Walking slowly back to the bedroom, Alicia was lying on the bed at the moment, eyes closed and motionless, she seemed to be asleep, but slightly accelerated breathing revealed the fact that she was awake. 

Walking to the head of the bed, he sat down next to this woman, seeing that she was still pretending to be asleep, he simply reached out his hand and placed it on her head. 

"Did you hear the whole conversation?" 

Knowing that she had been discovered, she reached out and removed the hand that was on her head, sighed and sat up, her expression slightly thoughtful. 

"You know I want to help you. I didn't really mean to overhear something so important, I'm sorry."

Airon shook his head and interrupted Alicia's words. He didn't blame this girl who saved his life and even fought for her own people like a good survivor, and it was obvious that she really wanted to help.

But Airon knew he couldn't involve her in this matter of extreme care, so he said, "Forget what you heard. You can't help me with this kind of thing, no one really can. You can support me in smaller but equally important things later. Besides, I'll have to leave very early tomorrow morning. When you wake up, you can tell the people you know best about it."

"Everyone should know who our strongest enemy really is."

Alicia knew very well that the others still didn't know. Even if Airon didn't delve into what her exit was for, it definitely seemed to be a very risky idea. 

Sighing, she rolled over, turned her back to Airon and then said nothing, gradually falling asleep. 

Airon knew that he slowly grew attached to Alicia and he knew perfectly well what that meant, he is now vulnerable and slowly a hidden fear of losing that which he loves was forming inside him. 

  ... 

Early in the morning of the next day, Airon dressed as if he was just another survivor and looked at Alicia, who was still sleeping soundly. She seemed to have worries on her face, as if she could not sleep well. At this he merely smiled, then quietly left the room. 

Not long after he left, Alicia got out of bed again as she had the night before, looked toward the door as if hesitating, but in the end did not follow him, but walked to the window and looked out. 

It was still dark outside the window, and there was a van parked in the middle of the yard. It was the same car that Airon and Merle were driving these days. There was no sign of Airon, he looked around, searching for the other party's figure, but after a while he saw several people carrying some bags behind the car and after speaking a few words he drove away alone. 

Standing in front of the window for a while, as if he had made up his mind, his gaze became steady, after a short while, he changed his clothes and left the room, heading straight for Deanna's house. 

... 

Not long after the van left Alexandria, the sky was a little brighter. In the dim morning light, as he drove down the quiet road, Airon was always thinking about the next plan in his mind. 

After spending tens of minutes on the road, the sun had risen by this time, and Airon had already arrived near the destination, he parked the car slowly in front of the door and got out of the car. 

What appeared in front of him was a mountain of garbage, with a dumpster embedded in the middle of the pile of garbage, and Airon knew that this was the gate to the dump. 

Standing next to the truck, he did not knock on the door, but reached out to lift the cloth bag into the car. At that moment, the door of the dumpster suddenly opened and a crowd continuously came out of the door holding some cold weapons, others were holding firearms but Airon knew they were just people. 

Without fear of suddenly dying, Airon just stood there, looking at the container not far away with a cold smile on his face, ignoring the people around him, the crowd continued to come out and soon they surrounded him. 

Soon, the amount of people coming out of the container gradually decreased. And a tall woman came out behind them. She had short shoulder-length hair. Her appearance showed how arrogant she was, but that same arrogance made her look like a queen. It was well known that she was attractive, but these were only opinions about her figure. 

So it was, the Queen of the dumpster people, Jadis Stokes whose name was Anne. 

Seeing that Jadis had finally come out, Airon with a strong posture finally began to speak, "You are the leader of these people, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is Airon and I am a leader of a large force." 

Jadis snorted with disdain, without moving his head, he looked with his eyes at an open space behind him, so the meaning was obvious, he is in a place that should not be completely alone. 

Airon stopped smiling, he was not worried about any kind of accident, he knew very well that this woman in front of him was hidden, and that face was completely fake.     

"I know very well, how can a man who presents himself to you as a leader of a great power? But believe me, It will be much better for you a

nd me to talk to each other and order these people to stop pointing those trembling hands at me before a shot is fired.

Jadis' expression remained calm, and suddenly feeling a bit curious, she shook her head at an old man beside her.

The old man pulled out a gun from his robe and the rest also became more intense, as if they were going to attack Airon at any moment. 

Just now Airon understood that without explosive news, it would be difficult to catch this woman's interest, so he did not intend to hide it anymore and said directly, "Do you think you are an A or B?" 

These words chilled Jadis' blood, after looking for some time, she walked towards Airon, she looked at the old man who was following her closely and shook her head again, the old man seemed to look at Airon with some hesitation. 

Seeing the other party so calm, Jadis' eyes instantly widened, and the old man couldn't help but shrug his neck in fear. Then he waved his hands, and the group of people next to Airon retreated into the container like a tide.
