"CIA colleagues have been able to confirm that this is The Garden of God's handiwork," said a deputy-level official from the United States.
"Scotland Yard has reported the sa..."
"The royal exclusive staff has cracked a secret stronghold in Osaka, found a batch of injection drugs that may lead to this disease. We are willing to share the drug with other countries in the hope of finding a solution. However, our governnt hopes..."
Before the Prince of Japan could finish, representatives from several countries glared at him intensely, the Arican and Russian representatives coughed forcefully and knocked on the table, respectively.
What a joke. Trying to set terms at a ti like this?
The latter half of His Highness the Prince's speech was abruptly stifled.
"Gentlen," the Huaxia representative who convened the eting nodded to those present, stood up, and pointed at the large screen on the wall, which displayed a complex chemical model, "we also, through our own channels, found this drug that can cause gene mutation. According to expert analysis, it is difficult to crack in a short ti. Our genetic technology lags behind the organization that invented this drug, that is, The Garden of God, by several decades. If we wait for us to slowly decipher it..."
It goes without saying, even if we were to catch up now and all countries worked together, it would still take several years. But during these years, the technology of the other party will also develop.
And less than half a year has already caused global panic. In a few more years, it's unimaginable how many people will fall sick and what chaos will ensue worldwide!
"It's strange, after the Romania incident, countries had reached a tacit understanding with The Garden of God. Why would The Garden of God suddenly make massive moves against civilians this ti?!" the representative from England said, frowning.
"It's not just civilians; they've even started targeting governnt officials," coughed the Prince of Japan, saying, "There are signs that so mbers of our country's radical parties may be related to The Garden of God. Our Pri Minister may have been injected with a brain-damaging virus, resulting in..."
The Russian representative was the most forceful, cutting him off and slamming the table: "We should never have compromised with those ******! Eradicating them is the best choice!"
"This ti, the United States agrees with Russia's point of view," said the Arican representative.
"We must ensure the security of the European continent at all costs," said the French and English representatives.
"Alright, everyone. We've summoned the representatives of various countries for an ergency eting. Everyone is aware of the previous agenda items. After the outbreak of the pandemic, two forces proactively made contact with our country. The first one is The Garden of God, claiming that they are not involved in this incident. The second force claid responsibility for the incident and is willing to cooperate with all countries to resolve this pandemic but with one condition. We suspect that there has been a split within The Garden of God," said the Huaxia negotiator.
All countries were a bit frustrated. The attendees represented basically the world's major powers. Even if they weren't permanent mbers of the Security Council, they were economic powers such as Japan with significant achievents in certain aspects. Yet, these two forces reached out to no one else but Huaxia, putting all other countries in a passive position.
But this was unavoidable. Among all nations, Huaxia has the mildest image in the world and the most stable governnt authority. If one must engage with the official side, they would of course choose a powerful and credible major country they can trust. The reputation of the United States and Russia was just too notorious, and other countries were either in a ss themselves or simply lackeys of these major powers, not worth conspiring with.
At this point, everyone's gaze turned to Su Ming, sitting in a corner of the conference room.
"Comrade Su Ming, the conditions proposed by the second force is to et with you alone. Are you willing? We respect your personal wish and will not force you," asked the Huaxia representative.
Being stared at by representatives of several major countries, Su Ming nodded: "I can."
Even if not for this epidemic, Su Ming felt that this was an opportunity, just as the Huaxia representative analyzed, that there was a split within The Garden of God.
Faced with such a colossal adversary, it would be beyond the governnt's power to cope. But now, it presented the best opportunity!
The Huaxia representative paused for a mont, then said solemnly: "Comrade Su Ming, you have to think carefully. For this eting, due to the unknown details about the other party, in order to prevent agitating them to take even more extre actions, we cannot provide protection for you. There's a certain risk involved."
"I understand," Su Ming stood up, scanning the delegates of various countries, and cracked a slight smile: "I'm willing to take the risk for the negotiation, although I don't know exactly what they want to discuss. But I also have one condition."
When it concerned national stability, all the representatives looked at Su Ming, waiting for him to state his condition. For a great power, it was not difficult whether he wanted people, money, or governntal support.
But Su Ming's requirent was quite simple: "No matter the outco of the negotiation, I hope that the Huaxia Governnt will take the lead in handling the subsequent incidents."
This request took everyone by surprise. On the surface, if Huaxia were to take lead in managing subsequent incidents, it seed like Huaxia would expend more manpower and resources, and even shift the conflict with The Garden of God onto itself, a loss outweighing the gain.
But those present were experienced in international affairs; whoever took the lead would an extracting the most benefit.
A panic affecting the whole world—if Huaxia took charge and succeeded, Huaxia's international reputation and status would see a trendous boost; moreover, the majority of the potentially involved genetic technology would be in Huaxia's control.
