Johnson Hester didn’t give the staff any breathing space, nor did he give the think tank mbers any face.
He actually wasn’t ignorant of the principles; in fact, he knew better than anyone how to maximize benefits, yet he still insisted on not following through.
The reason was simple,
Lin Mo held a very important place in his heart, or rather, Johnson Hester was very clear that his success up to this point was all due to Lin Mo’s protection.
More importantly, Johnson Hester understood that Lin Mo had very strong capabilities; he couldn’t possibly act without forethought, nor would he expose himself and his family to such significant danger without reason.
Regardless of whether the terrorists were targeting him, Lin Mo definitely had many ways to survive this conflict.
He had such confidence in Lin Mo.
This was why he clearly understood that this was an opportunity for him, an opportunity to prove himself in front of Lin Mo.
If he missed this opportunity, it might be a long ti before Lin Mo would take notice of him again.
Lin Mo was the key to his securing the position of Grand Duke of Arica.
If he didn’t take this seriously, based on his current capabilities, there’s no way he could maintain his position.
It was even possible that if sothing went wrong on Lin Mo’s end, he could be ousted by those with ulterior motives.
Arica was like this, adhering to the absolute law of the survival of the fittest, never giving the weak any chance to turn the tables, nor showing them the slightest sympathy.
From this perspective, what Johnson Hester and the think tank envisioned were fundantally different issues, so it was quite normal for them to not reach the sa consensus.
On the other hand,
Upon hearing Johnson Hester’s decision, the staff and think tank mbers could only reluctantly bring out all of their reserved strength.
There was no choice;
they had the right to suggest, but the final decision wasn’t theirs to make, it had to still be the Grand Duke.
This was Arica’s iron law.
But,
when they brought out all their strength, even revealing the forces they had in the Northern Border, they also discussed another issue.
That was, after this event, they must find every possible way to eliminate Lin Mo and Johnson Hester.
Though they couldn’t overtly defy the Grand Duke’s orders, it didn’t an they couldn’t make so moves in the shadows, and these moves didn’t need the Grand Duke’s approval.
Frankly, in their country, the Grand Duke was often just a figurehead, and didn’t hold that much power.
.....
anwhile,
Not only Grand Xia and Arica, but many people across various countries were aware of Lin Mo’s situation.
Based on various considerations, they also had put forth different thods and strategies.
So were waiting for Grand Xia and Arica to make a move, others hoped that the situation would unfold as they predicted, not only causing a rift between the two nations but also ensuring that Lin Mo could not stay.
Otherwise, the growing closeness between these two nations would definitely be bad news for any other nations in the world seeking advancent.
In Japan, within the palace,
The current King of Japan, upon hearing the news about Lin Mo, quickly summoned all his personnel and confidants.
Although the current king was a puppet installed by others, the Japanese are notoriously cunning and would never willingly remain puppets forever.
This puppet was very aware that his current standing was all due to the mysterious assassination of the previous king, which was an absolute disgrace to the national populace.
If he could handle this matter well, even avenging the previous king, he would gain unimaginable authority.
Then, with the authority of his nation, he could even possess more power than all previous kings had.
At that ti, his enemies would respect him even more, and might even cede so of their power to him, allowing him to grow and strengthen.
The na of puppet would naturally disappear.
The King sat in the central position and looked at the people below, asking, "What’s the situation now?"
What he naturally referred to was the concert and the reactions of various countries.
Japan was best at using underhanded tactics, so they had planted many spies in other countries, not to ntion their vendetta with the Northern Border Country, so they continually monitored their movents.
Thanks to years of operations, even though they were thousands of miles away, they could clearly know everything happening there.
A staff mber rose and said, "Your Majesty, we just received news, Grand Xia and Arica have both made movents, their squads in the Northern Border have started moving, and they should reach the concert site in about ten more minutes."
"As for the concert, the Northern Border’s troops have already charged in and engaged in fierce gunfire with the terrorists; the fate of Lin Mo and his family remains unclear."
The situation remained unclear...
This was indeed very distressing.
The King of Japan said solemnly, "Can we find out now which organization these terrorists belong to and whether we can make contact with them? I have sothing I want to say to them."
