After concluding the conversation with her friend, Bonnie couldn't shake off a persistent sense of unease. She had a nagging feeling that her friend's warning was not as straightforward as it seed.
It appeared that her friend was concealing so crucial information, but Bonnie had no way to continue probing. The call had been abruptly terminated by the friend.
This ant that even if Bonnie tried calling back, the other party wouldn't divulge anything further.
Troubled and restless, Bonnie paced back and forth in her room.
Unable to calm herself down, she decided to seek help from others.
The first person who ca to Bonnie's mind was, of course, Jeremy.
After all, among everyone Bonnie knew, only Jeremy possessed a vast amount of crucial information. Moreover, he was the only one she could trust completely.
With this in mind, Bonnie picked up her phone, intending to call Jeremy directly.
However, Bonnie suddenly hesitated once more.
Bonnie knew that Jeremy hoped she could stand on her own. If she relied on Jeremy for everything, wouldn't she beco soone who only held him back?
Thinking this, Bonnie managed to calm herself a bit.
After carefully contemplating for a while, she ultimately decided to seek help from her father.
Although Benjamin might not know as much as Jeremy, he was still a significant federal official. He surely had access to so classified information from the federation.
Having made her decision, Bonnie imdiately took action.
Half an hour later, Bonnie arrived at Benjamin's office.
Although it was only 6:30 in the morning, Benjamin was already imrsed in handling a series of affairs for Moonlight City.
Benjamin did not appear overly surprised by his daughter's arrival.
He rely inquired in a nonchalant tone, "What brings you here now? Are you planning to move back ho? If that's truly your intention, there's no need to seek my approval."
Upon hearing this, a slight look of embarrassnt appeared on Bonnie's face.
She knew her mother had always wished for her to move back ho.
However, after everything that had happened, Bonnie felt she needed to focus on improving her own abilities.
If she lived at ho, her every move would be closely monitored by her parents. In such an environnt, it would be impossible for her to rapidly enhance her skills.
"Father, the reason I ca to see you isn't about moving back ho. I'm here to discuss sothing far more important. This issue concerns the safety of Moonlight City."
At this mont, Benjamin lifted his head and scrutinized his daughter.
"You an to tell that the matter you wish to discuss is concerning the safety and security of Moonlight City? What exactly do you want to say? Stop beating around the bush."
When it ca to the safety of Moonlight City, Benjamin naturally took it very seriously. After all, he was the mayor of Moonlight City.
Bonnie recounted the details of a recent conversation she had with her best friend to Benjamin.
After listening to Bonnie's account, Benjamin's expression relaxed slightly from its previous tension.
With a smile, Benjamin said, "Your friend didn't lie to you, what she said is indeed true. However, it's not just Moonlight City that will face danger. In fact, every part of the federation is going to encounter threats.
I've received top-secret information from the federation that within the next day or two, all known instances and creatures outside of instances are going to get stronger.
Even those creatures that were not very high level before are now powerful enough to pose a threat to well-trained warriors. So, under no circumstances should you take any risks during this period."
Bonnie stared at her father in utter disbelief.
She had never imagined that the truth would turn out to be like this.
"Father, I can't believe you can still smile in this situation. The monsters have been significantly strengthened, and we might soon be killed by them.
We must quickly enhance our own abilities. Moreover, you need to allocate additional resources to Awakeners with exceptional talents. Only by rapidly boosting their capabilities can they ensure our safety."
The exceptionally talented Awakener Bonnie was referring to was, of course, Jeremy.
Benjamin nodded in agreent. "You don't need to remind of that. In fact, the reason I'm in the office so early today is precisely to deal with this matter."
Benjamin slid the docunt on his desk toward Bonnie.
Bonnie glanced down and saw that the content of the docunt was indeed about providing additional resources to highly talented Awakeners. And the most talented Awakener in Moonlight City was undoubtedly Jeremy.
"The city governnt will soon provide Jeremy with additional resources to enhance his abilities. Although Jeremy already possesses a substantial array of powerful items and nurous gemstones, he certainly won't refuse any extra resources offered to him."
Having reached this point in the conversation, Benjamin paused montarily.
He glanced at his daughter and let out a sigh.
As Bonnie's father, he was naturally very well-acquainted with his daughter. He knew that she had already fallen for Jeremy.
"If you want to personally deliver this good news to Jeremy, go ahead and tell him. Even if you don't, he will find out about it soon enough."
Upon hearing these words, Bonnie felt a surge of happiness inside, but she didn't imdiately agree. She still preferred to keep her relationship with Jeremy sowhat concealed from her father.
"Besides this, are there any other counterasures from the federation?"
While Bonnie believed that providing additional resources to highly talented Awakeners could rapidly boost their abilities, enabling them to better protect others,
she also felt that this approach was too slow. Explore m,v,l,e,mpyr today.
Soone with Jeremy's level of talent was almost one in a million. Apart from Jeremy, no one else had talent that could match his caliber.
Even with overwhelming strength, Jeremy alone cannot beco powerful enough in a short period to protect all of humanity.
Benjamin's expression grew slightly grim.
"The federation does have other counterasures, but in my opinion, they are almost destined to fail." Benjamin remarked, pushing another folder toward Bonnie.
"The contents of this file contain the federation's latest directive. The federation hopes that each city will conscript a sufficient number of soldiers from among the civilian population.
Every city is mandated to form an adequate reserve force. If the enhanced monsters do launch an assault on human-inhabited cities and the federal military suffers significant losses, these reserve forces will be deployed into combat.
Although these reserve units are not particularly strong, they can at least be used as expendable assets."
When Benjamin spoke these words, he harbored an intense sense of revulsion within his heart.
He consistently felt that the Federation's decision was nothing short of utterly insane.
Such a decision by the Federation essentially treated the lives of civilians as expendable commodities. Moreover, it used them in a manner that rendered their sacrifice utterly aningless.
If even the federal army cannot effectively combat the enhanced monsters, how could these civilians possibly hold them off?
Bonnie, with an expression of disbelief, slowly finished reading the entire docunt.
"Father! You must stop the federation's leadership from taking such actions! This is utterly irresponsible." Bonnie exclaid, her tone filled with agitation.
Benjamin, with a tinge of helplessness, responded.
"I did voice my opposition, but it was to no avail. The federation's leadership has been deliberating this plan for a long ti.
It was only in a state of utter desperation that the federation's top brass approved such a plan. If they had the power to counter the enhanced monsters, they would undoubtedly prefer not to resort to this."
Benjamin's words rendered Bonnie utterly speechless.
After all, while the federation's plan was admittedly brutal, it also seed to be the only potentially viable solution at this juncture.
At that mont, Bonnie suddenly grasped the deeper aning behind Jeremy's earlier words.
The only way to protect those she cherished was to rapidly enhance her own abilities to counter the formidable monster threats.
After Bonnie recalled Jeremy's words, her gaze suddenly beca remarkably resolute.
With a firm and resolute tone, she addressed her father, "Father, I hope you will no longer hinder my actions. I understand you don't want to face any risks.
But let ask you, do you wish for to remain under your protection forever? In a ti when all of humanity is threatened, do you expect to stay sheltered under your wing and pretend everything is fine?
I must swiftly enhance my own strength, even if it ans facing imnse danger, I believe it is truly worth it."
"For it is only through this path that I will have the chance to protect those I care about."
Benjamin was completely taken aback by his daughter's words.
He had initially intended to say a few words to dissuade his daughter from continuing to fight the monsters.
But after hearing her impassioned speech, Benjamin suddenly found himself at a loss for words to offer any further dissuasion.
