Chapter 1090: The Storm Has Not Settled

Three days later, Atahoka State, Certified Operations Agency branch.

During these three days, no news was sent back from either Agent Iron Crow from the headquarters or Saikia from the Giant God Plant Company.

The two people seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The last information about them from the branch was when Iron Crow sent out a report and decided to follow Master Bai Shi and others into the Throat of the Stars.

This situation made them very nervous.

Because according to the report of the hunting team, Master Bai Shi has been confirmed to have been killed by Chen Chuan, and the battle process is said to have only lasted a few seconds.

The opponent's display of such strong fighting power will inevitably make people think of more.

Jonas Calloway had been attending meetings continuously over the past few days, receiving intelligence from several sources, and managed to get some information from some senior fighters. After finishing another phone call, he sat in his chair tiredly and silently.

The assistant came over, placed a cup of refreshing hot drink on his desk, and whispered, "Sir, maybe we underestimated each other."

Carloway didn't say anything. He picked up the cup and took a sip. He knew very well that it was impossible for the two secret hall fighters to not send back any news for three whole days.

There must be something wrong with these two people, and now he had to consider the worst case scenario.

If this is the case, plus Noah Whitehead who has been confirmed dead, then three Secret Temple fighters have been lost in the Throat of the Stars, and there is also the Black Catfish who disappeared inexplicably before. This loss is definitely unacceptable to the headquarters.

Although he appeared calm and confident when facing his subordinates, he was actually worried inside.

Because this is no longer just a problem with the Throat of the Protoss. The headquarters and other departments have already prepared to launch an attack on Kavatua. The plan is to capture it before the end of the year. The entire West Coast is waiting and looking forward to this result.

However, the loss of the three Secret Temple fighters created a huge gap, which would undoubtedly prevent the entire plan from proceeding normally, and the preparations that had taken nearly two years would be affected.

This is not a war time. Facing a large gathering of one million people, it is impossible to mobilize the army. We can only rely on unofficial forces to organize. If the originally arranged personnel no longer exist, then all parties will have to re-coordinate and arrange, which will undoubtedly cause the original plan to be delayed.

The time and resources wasted, the interests of the various parties involved, and the losses caused by the failure of early investment cannot be easily covered up. Someone must shoulder this responsibility.

The assistant tried to suggest: "Sir, why not suggest to the headquarters to use diplomatic means to resolve this matter. After all, the Throat of the Protoss is on our land."

Calloway thought about it rationally and said calmly: "It won't work."

First of all, as an invited member of the Dashun visiting group, Chen Chuan had certain diplomatic immunity. Secondly, Master Bai Shi was defeated in an open battle and there was no way to investigate. Tie Ya and Sai Qiya had no evidence to prove that he was murdered. This was a mess.

Even if there is evidence, this man also holds a Class A unlimited self-defense certificate, which is an internationally accepted document. As long as he can prove that two people attacked him, he will not be at fault.

Of course, everything depends on strength. A certificate alone cannot restrain big forces and national organizations. Even if they can't do anything to you openly, there are ways to get around them if necessary.

But the question is, who will go around? At the level of the Secret Hall Fighter, it is not a simple matter for any one person to go out. I can do whatever I want. In this matter, he is not qualified to handle and investigate it.

Moreover, he knew that if the issue escalated to the diplomatic level, the East Coast Party would definitely find ways to hold them back and impose various restrictions on them, making it impossible for them to resolve the matter easily. It might even take several years, and in the end, it would come to nothing.

If this matter were to slip away from his hands, it would have nothing to do with him at all. This would be tantamount to handing over the power to make decisions and save his political life to others, which he could not accept.

There was news coming in from Jie Ping. The assistant said, "Mr. Gaz has contacted me and said he has important intelligence."

Carloway went through it quickly in his mind, sat up straight, looked up and said, "Please bring it in."

The screen in front of him shook for a while, and then the figure of the young man who had met him last time appeared. He said very quickly: "Sir, I found out that the original sect may be involved in this incident."

Carloway was startled when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up. He leaned forward and said, "Specific information!"

Gaz clicked on the Netherworld Pass and immediately passed on the information he had collected to him.

Carloway was professional enough. Although there was a lot of content in it, after quickly browsing it, he extracted the main key information and quickly formed several plans in his mind.

The assistant said at the side: "Sir, the original sect has a deep connection with the East Coast Party. Is it possible that the failure this time was due to interference from the Strategic Affairs Department?"

Carloway knew very well that because they acted quickly this time, even if the Strategic Affairs Department learned the news, it would not have had time to intervene. But since the Primitive Sect had appeared and had a deep connection with the East Coast Party, did they follow the East Coast Party's wishes and reach some kind of agreement with the Secret Temple fighter of the Dashun delegation? Was it because of the cooperation between the two sides that their action failed?

After all, the visit was made at the invitation of the East Coast Party. Now the first delegation is still communicating with the East Coast Party in the Executive Government. It is not surprising that the cooperation between the two sides is deepening.

He knew it didn't matter whether it was true or not, as long as it seemed reasonable.

Even if the Operations Agency knew the truth, for the sake of internal stability and to divert conflicts, they would not take the initiative to reveal the truth and would most likely accept this statement. This way, at least he could retain his dignity.

After thinking about all this, he said to the young man in front of the screen: "Gaz, the clues you provided are very useful and have helped the branch clarify some important doubts."

The young man immediately stood at attention on the screen.

Calloway gave him an encouraging smile, gave him a few more words of praise, and ended the field call. He then quickly stood up, standing straight as if he had just won a battle. He said to his assistant, "Send a telegram to contact headquarters."

"Yes!"

He quickly sent a telegram to the headquarters, in which he explained in detail the reasons for the setback, and it was up to the headquarters to respond.

While waiting, he was a little nervous, but he appeared calm on the surface. Because according to his understanding of the director and the bureaucrats at the headquarters, they would never admit that the failure and fault this time were theirs, and he was very sure that the excuse he submitted would be accepted by them.

He originally thought that the telegram would arrive in the afternoon at the earliest, because a meeting would definitely be needed to discuss the issue and a decision could not be made in a short time. However, he did not expect that a telegram would come back in less than five minutes.

This made him a little surprised and doubtful. When the telegram was delivered to him, he read the content and showed a hint of confusion.

There was no word of blame towards him, nor any comments or feedback on the content he submitted. Instead, he was asked to continue to pay attention to the situation at the Throat of the Stars in the next few days, and take immediate action if there were any changes.

action?

what action?
He thought about it and felt that there must be something he was not aware of.

He looked at the map of the Throat of the Stars on the field screen, stared at it for a while, and suddenly a guess came to his mind.

If so, then it all makes sense.

At the end of the Throat of the Stars Gem Lake that is close to the avenue, there is a large tent that can accommodate more than ten people. Chen Chuan is currently practicing in it. He is sitting cross-legged in the air, still wearing the external implant.

This external implant acts as a resonance nest when he is practicing. It can isolate him from external interference, allowing him to concentrate his mind and adjust his breathing more easily. It can also provide him with certain protection and early warning.

The more he used the external implant, the more closely it integrated with him, and the smoother it was to use. After a battle with Tie Ya and others, the implant had obviously been greatly improved and became more adapted to his rhythm and breathing, so he simply used it when practicing.

All the medicines he had used in his practice over the past three days came from the Throat of the Stars. Although the medicinal properties of these medicines had declined due to being stored for a long time, due to their high initial quality, they were still suitable for use overall, and there were plenty of them in stock, so he could use them freely for a period of time.

There is a relative shortage of medicines for spiritual practice.

He had gone to the medicine storage area on the side of the Divine Phase these days to take a special look. As he had initially guessed, most of the storage there was indeed empty, and the remaining ones were not what he needed. Even after searching all the platforms, there was nothing left, which was enough to show that the situation was urgent at the time, so all of them were taken away as sacrifices.

In this case, he didn't think too much about it. He finished and arranged things here first, and then thought of a way to search.

In fact, he thought that these materials must have come from the super-limit creatures that the Isutar people had raised or worshipped. It had only been about a hundred years, and there was a great possibility that these creatures were still there. If they could be found and a new agreement reached, they could be obtained from them.

The Isutar people may not need these things now, so he can use military force or some supplies to exchange for these things, of course, provided that he can find them.

After several hours, his practice came to a temporary halt. He looked at the time and found that it was the time period agreed by the delegation to exchange telegram messages. So he walked out of the tent, passed through the layer of fog, and came to the end of the Gem Lake close to the exit.
