Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Fishing Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Fishing The room was filled with puzzled faces, scratching their heads and ears, clueless after a hundred guesses, wondering if the Dragon King had already devised a countermeasure.
But that seemed impossible… Andy Greenword was of some use in their hands, yet after all, they couldn’t produce any irrefutable evidence; even coercing him into talking more would be meaningless.
As for fabricating a letter of commission, that was even more out of the question; once such a document was presented, it would certainly be sent to the International Alliance Center for verification.
If it were discovered to be fake, they could easily turn the tables and bite back, then truly, even if they had to swallow their own broken teeth, everything would be deemed false by them.
“Ouyang, stop leaving us in suspense and tell us how you plan to deal with this,” someone urged.
Karen Milton was truly at a loss and had no choice but to turn her gaze back to Greg Jensen.
Although the International Alliance Center had proposed a one-week investigation, anyone with clear eyesight knew that it was just for show; who knew what kind of countermeasures they might discuss with Cherrywood behind closed doors.
Who could tell if by that time they would have cleanly pushed away all evidence, and even like what was written in the official document, sternly demand the reconstruction plan to be handed over?
Noticing the doubtful gaze of the crowd, Greg Jensen let out a icy laugh:
“Trying to sanction Cherrywood and the International Alliance Center is impossible on the surface, and we’d likely be outplayed. Hence, the reconstruction plan can absolutely not be handed over; if it were, they’d still secretly produce more elsewhere, even the International Alliance Center might secretly orchestrate it.”
Fox and the others nodded, finding his words reasonable.
Though Cherrywood certainly had backup content in their possession, they lacked the crucial experimental data; to restore the production of reconstructed individuals, they would have to start from scratch.
This would effectively constrain their development, nullifying over half a year of their research efforts.
Of course, just doing this wasn’t enough, because given time, the plan would still be carried out in secret and resuming production was just a matter of when.
When the time came, with enough reconstructed individuals springing back to action, the Eight Countries in Southeast as well as other neighboring nations would face a significant threat.
“Fox, release a message on the official channel saying we’ll send all the plans via cruise to the International Alliance Center the next day, and will patiently wait for their investigation!”
At this moment, Greg Jensen added casually, a meaningful look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Fox was immediately baffled, “Dragon King, what… what do you mean by this?”
He pondered. Wasn’t it just said that the research data and plan wouldn’t be given away?
Why had everything changed in the blink of an eye?
Greg Jensen smiled, “Do you think Cherrywood will sit still and simply watch us deliver the research data directly into the hands of the International Alliance Center?”
“This…”
A silence fell over the crowd, but soon Karen Milton was the first to catch on, her voice filled with excitement, “Are you saying they’ll intercept us halfway? And we’re planning to counter by handing over fake data to them?”
Greg Jensen nodded, “Exactly, as long as they seize all the plan books and experiment data reports, the pressure of public opinion will still return to them. At that time, the International Alliance Center won’t have a choice but to act.”
Moreover, regarding this matter, he would secretly arrange for photography and proof collection. If they dared to show up, irrefutable evidence would definitely be left behind.
Of course, if these useless folks didn’t dare to appear, he would also stage his own people to rob them; in short, this information must not fall into anyone else’s hands, and the high-seas transport was merely a diversion.
Once the plan was decided, Greg Jensen immediately instructed Fox and others to make arrangements and to broadcast openly online that they would comply with the International Alliance by delivering the documents to the center, hoping all nations worldwide would supervise.
No sooner had the message been released than it caused a sensation across the entire web–
“Have the Eight Countries in Southeast taken the wrong medicine? Since when have they become so compliant? By their temperament, they wouldn’t normally bother with the Alliance Center at all!”
“Psh, no matter how powerful he is, could he really oppose the entire world? If the reconstruction program is not taken out, from now on, every disappearance could be linked to them!”
“All we need next is to get the evidence to prove all these plans originated from Cherrywood, and we can pretty much seal their fate!”
“We strongly demand that the International Alliance destroy this plan before the eyes of the whole world! Otherwise, how can we be sure they won’t secretly produce it after taking it back?”
“Right! These data manuals are hot potatoes in anyone’s hands, better to destroy them than keep them locked away!”
“…”
As the public opinion rapidly fermented, at the seaport of the Eight Countries in Southeast, Fox personally led a team of one hundred warriors, escorting the reconstruction project manuals to the International Alliance.
The team set off in a grand procession, with such a magnitude that almost everyone around the globe knew about it.
Meanwhile, at another port.
Two black-clad warriors rushed into the cabin fervently, reaching the leader, a middle-aged man:
“Captain Nishida, we’ve got reliable information, they have indeed left! Shall we…”
As he spoke, one of them hesitated, but his intention was clear, even making a slicing motion across his neck with his hand.
Seeing this, Captain Nishida’s eyes flickered with hesitation, expressing concerns:
“Dragon King’s Palace is not showing off their strength for no reason. They’re either laying a trap or luring the snake from its hole!”
Otherwise, for such a secret operation to be known worldwide didn’t make sense–if anyone harbored sinister intentions, wasn’t this just making them a target?
Therefore, he suspected there was more complexity behind this than met the eye.
Yet his subordinate interjected, “Captain Nishida, opportunities don’t wait for us. Both the second and third squad have already set off. If we’re late, we might miss out on this great achievement.”
Even though Cherrywood already had a backup of the secret reconstruction plan, the genuine research data was still in the hands of Dragon King’s Palace; failing to retrieve it meant all their efforts would have to be started over.
If they could intercept the escort ship of Dragon King’s Palace and quietly take away the research data, the Emperor would surely hold them in higher regard!
Considering this, Captain Nishida became pensive; thinking it over, since three squads were intercepting together, the odds were better. He couldn’t miss this opportunity.
Even if he couldn’t earn top honors, as long as the documents were transmitted back, he could at least claim third-rate credit and not miss out entirely.
“Let’s go! Set off as well! Get in touch with them, and one hour later, we’ll gather on the high seas for interception!”
“Yes!”
