He had guessed something.
really.
Smith continued, "You should know what this means. That Chen Dao is not human at all; he's a monster capable of controlling the '927' meteorite. If we continue fighting him, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Even if it's for the sake of a big win, you should back down this time. Go apologize to him and suppress this matter, otherwise who knows what outrageous things Chen Dao might do."
David was utterly shocked.
Is that guy even human?
he does not know.
For a while.
David couldn't help but worry, saying, "I've heard that Chen Dao is ruthless and kills without blinking an eye. Anyone who offends him is dead. If I go to apologize to him, will I still be alive?"
"This……"
This time, it was Smith's turn to remain silent.
He also knew that, given Chen Dao's temperament, David estimated... it would be difficult for him to have a good end.
but.
For Great Britain.
At this point, Smith couldn't care less about anything else.
At worst, we can sacrifice the pawn to save the king.
Thinking.
Smith took a deep breath and, to prevent David from escaping, reassured him, "Don't worry, you are still an official of our Great Britain. If Chen Dao really attacks you, we won't stand idly by. It's just an apology. After the apology, I'll arrange for you to return to Great Britain immediately."
"really?"
"Don't worry, Hong Kong Island is still under British control after all. No matter how powerful Chen Dao is, he still has to give us some face."
Seeing that Smith had said so, David finally gave in and nodded, "I'll go find him now."
hang up the phone.
A subordinate standing nearby couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are we really going to compromise?"
“I…” David nodded with a bitter expression. “We all underestimated this city. It’s not something we can handle at all. Even the United States has bowed down. It’s not shameful for us to bow down.”
David looked complicated.
He didn't want to back down either.
But the pressure Chen Dao exerted on him forced him to back down.
Chen Dao is simply a monster.
A complete monster.
This monster.
What can he do if he doesn't back down?
……
Great Britain.
Inside the office, Smith breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
We finally got in touch with David.
If David just bows his head and apologizes, this matter should be resolved, right?
Return to your seat and sit down.
The middle-aged man with a receding hairline couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are we really going to do this? Based on your description, Chen Dao isn't someone who'll let things go so easily! David is probably..."
Smith glared at the man, and only sighed after he shut up.
How could he not know all this?
David's resignation is likely to be a bad omen.
But now.
Does he have a better way?
That guy is terrifying.
It was so terrifying that Smith no longer had the courage to confront him.
He certainly didn't want to be blown up by a meteorite in his sleep!
and.
When the quantity is large enough.
The destructive power of meteorites is no less than that of nuclear weapons.
Thus.
Even Great Britain wouldn't dare to easily start a war with Chen Dao.
As for David...
"We do all this for the country."
Smith spoke calmly, seemingly addressing the think tank members present, or perhaps reassuring himself.
Done.
He waved his hand, "You can all go down now."
Seeing that Smith had said so, the members of the think tank all nodded in agreement.
After sending these think tank members away.
Smith did not let his guard down.
No mistakes are allowed before David meets Chen Dao.
Thinking.
Smith called the Governor of Hong Kong directly.
For a while.
The call is connected.
“I am Smith.” Smith’s voice was very serious. After briefly explaining the situation, he instructed, “There are only 15 hours left in the 24-hour period. No matter what method you use, you must ensure that Chen Dao sees David within 15 hours.”
He paused, then said, "If any unexpected situation arises, you have the authority to handle everything. The prerequisite is that David must see Chen Dao, whether he is alive or dead."
In his last sentence, Smith's voice was extremely serious.
At this moment.
He no longer cared about David's comfort.
It's just that he was unlucky...
On the other end of the phone.
Francis remained silent for a moment after hearing these words.
After hearing Chen Dao's threat, he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately nodded, "I know what to do."
He paused, then continued, "I've mentioned before that Chen Daomei isn't as easy to deal with as you think. He managed to reach 144..."
hang up the phone.
Smith took a deep breath.
Walk to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at the ruins not far away, his expression was very complicated.
at this time.
A subordinate walked in. "Sir."
"What are the casualties?"
"We're still compiling statistics, but almost everyone who participated in the rescue this time..."
The subordinates couldn't bring themselves to say the word "dead".
Smith nodded.
He sighed helplessly, "There are still such terrifying people in this world. No wonder even the United States has given in."
……
the other side.
Francis looked at the phone in his hand, his expression somewhat serious.
For a while.
He took a deep breath and said to his subordinate, "Find a way to contact David immediately and tell him it's Smith's idea. Have him come to see me first, and I'll escort him to see Chen Dao."
