Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Coercion Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Coercion Especially the representative from Cherrywood, who indignantly jumped out and claimed that none of this had anything to do with them.

Unfortunately for them, the evidence was overwhelming, and coupled with the sales orders provided by Bear Country, it was proven that the batch of submarines had indeed been sold to Cherrywood a few months ago. Thus, no matter how they tried to explain, no one believed them.

Even the International Alliance Center, which had remained silent up until now, sided with the Eight countries in Southeast at this moment, demanding they hand over the plans and experimental data.

Greg Jensen seized the moment to add fuel to the flames, directly challenging them publicly:
“Within one hour, I want all of the documents delivered to the International Alliance, unspoiled! Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind sending the rest of the nuclear weapons your way! If you don’t believe me, try me!”

With these words, Cherrywood was undoubtedly driven into a corner, with no room for argument or defense.

Helplessly, they could only agree to return the documents intact.

It was thought that the matter would end there, but before the International Alliance Center had even received the documents,
Greg Jensen released another statement, declaring that these secrets, no matter in whose hands, posed a global risk. He insisted that the documents had to be burned publicly in front of global cameras during the handover ceremony between the two countries.

This statement quickly garnered support from the crowd, and excited cries resonated between nations, some even spread rumors about a secretive relationship between the International Alliance Center and Cherrywood.

This behavior greatly affected the global standing of the International Alliance, and even its long-defended foundation began to show signs of shaking.

Taking various factors into account, they naturally didn’t dare to hold onto those hot potato documents and reluctantly agreed.

Half a day later, the International Alliance Center started a global live broadcast to welcome Cherrywood’s escort team, preparing for the document handover.

Netizens around the world watched attentively, not wanting to miss a single detail.

“Phew… It’s good that they’re getting destroyed, my god, Modified Humans are just too damn scary!”

“Dragon King’s Palace’s Owen Anderson really thought things through. These documents, if not destroyed, would inevitably fall into other hands, and then they could be secretly produced somewhere remote without us even realizing.”

“Cherrywood wouldn’t dare cheat this time, right? After all, so many people are watching.”

…

In the midst of the event, the representative from Cherrywood held a document, solemnly ready to hand it over to the International Alliance.

Although they wore dissatisfaction on their faces, they didn’t dare to act too defiantly in the face of global pressure.

After all, they had another copy of the documents; if worst came to worst, they could always spend more time to replicate the experimental data.

While everyone had their own ulterior motives, the handover ceremony was swiftly completed.

The International Alliance, as agreed, began the immediate incineration of the documents.

“Wait!”

However, in the next second, an unexpected voice suddenly caught everyone’s attention.

A young man had emerged from the crowd with a faint smile, saying:
“Aren’t you from Cherrywood a bit too shameless? You stole two large boxes of documents from our Dragon King’s Palace, yet in front of the whole world, you only hand over a small portion?”

What? These documents are just a small portion?

Could it be that Cherrywood was actually playing tricks?

In an instant, everyone incredulously widened their eyes, looking at the representative from Cherrywood with a mix of shock and fury. Clearly, nobody had anticipated that they would pull such a move under the watchful eyes of the public.

And the person who was speaking… must be an underling of the Dragon King’s Palace, right? When did he arrive at the scene? They hadn’t invited anyone from the Dragon King’s Palace to this handover ceremony!

“Damn it!” Quickly regaining his composure, the Cherrywood representative glared at the man, cursing angrily, “What nonsense are you spouting? The documents we seized on the high seas are only this many!”

“Really? Who knows better than us how many documents we were transporting?”

Black Wolf of the Dragon King’s Palace snorted coldly, calm as he pulled out his smartphone from his pocket. On the screen was a video showing a pre-transport check of the documents.

Despite some distance, everyone could see clearly that there were indeed two large boxes of documents. One part contained the modification plans, and the other consisted of experiment data.

Right now, Cherrywood had only produced five or six documents, the contents of which hadn’t even been examined yet. Just on quantity alone, there was a huge discrepancy.

“What? This… this can’t be! But we really did snatch two boxes, but when we opened them, there were only these six documents! You…”
“You don’t need to say so much. The fact speaks louder than words; the evidence is right before our eyes. What excuses do you have left?”

Black Wolf interrupted the other’s voice impatiently and declared decisively:
“If I hadn’t come today, you might have fooled everyone in the world! Hmph, hurry up and hand over the rest, or Dragon King himself will stop being polite to you!”

As everyone knows, Owen Anderson had already deployed ten nuclear weapons in the Eight countries in Southeast, pressuring Cherrywood to compromise with them.

In other words, if they dared to resist, the Dragon King’s Palace could launch nuclear weapons at any moment.

Captain Dragon Farm, hearing this, went pale with anger, his voice trembling as he said:
“You… you dare! Last time you violated the International Alliance’s regulations and used nuclear weapons on your own, you already showed no regard for the treaty. Now, there are cameras everywhere, broadcasting globally, you dare to act recklessly?!”

Obviously, he was trying to pin a tall hat on the Dragon King’s Palace, attempting to use the International Alliance to threaten them.

Unfortunately for him, Black Wolf was well-prepared, responding with a cold, unhurried laugh:
“We may have broken the convention and at most destroyed Cherrywood, but your little schemes are a threat to all the nations globally. Which is more severe, I think everyone is clear about that!”

“You!”

These righteous words rendered Captain Dragon Farm speechless.

Especially when he turned his head and saw the comments from worldwide netizens on the public screen, his anger nearly burst his lungs.

Incredibly, they were all supporting the Dragon King’s Palace. Cherrywood was left only with insults and doubts, along with a ceaseless stream of threats.

“You from the Dragon King’s Palace are really going too far! Do you really take us for weaklings in Cherrywood?” Captain Dragon Farm shouted, “We have returned as much as we took, so stop exaggerating the situation!”

As the two of them argued inconclusively, many representatives of the International Alliance looked from one to the other, unsure whom to believe at the moment.

After all, this was happening under the global spotlight, and they couldn’t show favor to any party, otherwise, it would cause an indelible impact on the position of the International Alliance.

Moreover, it was expected that once the Dragon King’s Palace produced the evidence, Cherrywood would straightforwardly hand over the remaining materials. Who would have thought they’d be so shamelessly thick-skinned, denying everything, leading everyone to be at a standoff.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a phone rang.

Black Wolf answered, and from the other end came Greg Jensen’s voice, filled with icy murderous intent. It wasn’t loud, but it made everyone at the scene break out in goosebumps!
