Chapter 919: Chapter 919 Taking Sides Chapter 919: Chapter 919 Taking Sides And at this moment,
At the Cherrywood base.

Smack!

The Prime Minister, irate beyond measure, slammed his palm down on the table. A dense murderous aura permeated the room, suffocating everyone present.

“Damn it! You, you’re useless! I told you to secretly produce those modified humans and to avoid exposure unless absolutely necessary. It’s only been a few months, and now the Dragon King’s Palace has even rooted out our lair?!”

He truly hadn’t seen this coming; he had originally planned to perfect the technology for transforming humans within a year.

Once the timing was right, he could conquer not only the Eight countries in Southeast but the entire southeastern border could become his domain.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes. Not only had their secret base been destroyed, but now the whole affair was public knowledge, pushing Cherrywood to the brink of a cliff.

The key issue was that waste of space, Andy Greenword. Despite years of nurturing him, he failed to transfer the secret manual in time and even confessed everything to the Eight countries in Southeast without a fight.

With ironclad evidence, any explanation was futile.

One middle-aged man with a bushy mustache pondered for a moment, then stepped forward with a suggestion:
“Mr. Prime Minister, if I may, let’s just send the Shadow Organization to infiltrate the Eight countries in Southeast and assassinate the Dragon King! We can’t overcome him openly, but surely we can play dirty?”

Seeing the Prime Minister fall into deep thought and not responding hastily, he eagerly added:
“The Dragon King is the core of their Dragon King’s Palace. With his death, the Dragon King’s Palace will collapse on its own. At that point, what could possibly the Eight countries in Southeast do to fight against our great Cherrywood?”

Furthermore, the Shadow Organization is an extremely secretive elite unit of Cherrywood, with a leader who possesses peak Level 11 strength. With such power, an assassination shouldn’t be difficult.

And even if we play it safe, give it some more time, and he should be able to break through to Level 12. With strength like that, he’d be one of the top forces globally.

He refused to believe that the Dragon King could stay vigilant against a Level 12 expert day and night. After all, every person has moments of carelessness!

“This…” The Prime Minister nodded thoughtfully, finding the words to be reasonable.

He hesitated for a while, then said with a troubled expression, “But… the most troublesome thing right now is the International Alliance Center, and the global public opinion pressure. If we don’t resolve these issues, we might have to face sanctions from around the world!”

Compared to the assassination of the Dragon King, the current priority should be to address the public opinion pressure. Otherwise, if this matter escalates to the Emperor, his position as the Prime Minister would be in jeopardy.

“It’s not that difficult. As long as we firmly deny any involvement and put all the blame on Andy Greenword, they can’t do anything to us. As for the sanctions…

It seems inevitable at the moment, but if we manage to kill the Dragon King, all our problems will be solved, and all threats will naturally collapse!”

Hearing this, the Prime Minister could only nod, indicating that he would personally visit the International Alliance Center to clarify the matter.

In the time that followed, Cherrywood immediately responded on the internet:
“We solemnly declare: The actions of Andy Greenword and others in the neighboring countries of the Eight countries in Southeast have nothing to do with our Sakura Nation. We were not aware of this matter beforehand!

@International Alliance Center We hope that your esteemed center can thoroughly investigate this matter, restore Sakura Nation’s innocence, and we hope global citizens won’t be misled by some people’s false narratives!

However, as Andy Greenword is indeed from Sakura Nation, when he erred, it was our failure to discipline him. Regarding compensation for those victims, we certainly will not shirk our responsibility!”

This Tai Chi move pushed all the responsibility away cleanly and threw it all onto Andy Greenword.

Even in this report, they mentioned Andy Greenwood’s biotechnology project and related secrets, which are now entirely in the hands of Dragon King’s Palace. If one were to speak of threats, Dragon King’s Palace is now the greatest global threat.

This statement would undoubtedly resonate with many people, and the topic gradually polarized. On one side, people cursed Cherrywood for its shamelessness, while on the other, there was discussion on how the Eight countries in Southeast should deal with the secrets of biotechnology.

Soon, the International Alliance Center responded, stating that the matter was indeed strange, with many details yet to be examined, and they would need more time to investigate.

They also hoped that the people of Dragon King’s Palace would hand over all the biotechnology secrets; otherwise, they would have reason to suspect that those at Dragon King’s Palace would continue the biotechnology enhancements during the following period.

As for how to deal with Cherrywood… they did not specify, leaving everything in a state of wait-and-see.

This left the global citizens on the internet channels extremely dissatisfied, yet without any means to do anything about it.

At last, with really no other choice, the International Alliance Center proposed a one-week investigative period.

…

Eight countries in Southeast, Dragon King’s Palace.

Fox and Black Wolf, along with others, turned pale with anger upon hearing this news.

“Lord Dragon King, the International Alliance Center is clearly taking sides. Anyone with eyes can see that this was Cherrywood’s doing, and yet they are helping those beasts buy time!”

“Hmph! I refuse to believe that in one week, they could prove their innocence! The biotechnology operation is so rampant, affecting so many countries’ interests, it won’t end so easily!”

“The key issue is, Andy Greenword also can’t produce any direct orders linking him with Cherrywood, in a strict sense, we really can’t convict Cherrywood!”

Otherwise, neither the International Alliance Center nor Cherrywood would be able to exploit this loophole.

Thinking of this, everyone fell silent, lost in thought, not knowing what to say.

It was Sheryl Barker who blinked curiously, looking at the silent Greg Jensen, “Senior, you must already have a countermeasure, right? If we keep letting them drag this on, the opportunity we’ve finally gotten will slip right through our fingers!”

Karen Milton also suggested, “Yes, Ouyang brother! Why don’t we try to fabricate an order from Andy Greenword to the Emperor of Sakura Nation? Although the method is unsavory, it’s still better than watching them get away with it!”

In summary, they must seize this opportunity to kick someone when they’re down and never give Cherrywood a chance to catch their breath.

If you don’t remove the roots when cutting grass, the spring breeze will bring it back to life!

Cherrywood has long been eyeing them like a tiger watching its prey, not letting them pay a heavy price would be like having a hungry wolf trailing behind them, seriously inhibiting the development of the Eight countries in Southeast.

All the eyes in the room were eagerly fixed on Greg Jensen, waiting for his answer.

“Hehe… I say, you’re all too nervous!”

Unexpectedly, Greg Jensen nonchalantly lit a cigarette, gazed at everyone with a smile while puffing smoke, and said:
“The raid on their base this time was just an appetizer. You don’t seriously think that’s all I have up my sleeve, do you?”

“This…”
