Inside the mansion, Curtis was fuming, so angry that he even threw the ashtray. But no one around him thought it was rude, because everyone was just as furious.

The three planes had returned and immediately reported what happened. Glenn and Curtis had personally gone to Jelasica to give their account and demand an international meeting.

After half a month of hassle, the meeting was held, but it wasn’t public. And the other leaders all denied the missile attack, saying their satellites hadn’t detected anything.

Curtis said, “They claim the geomagnetic storm affected it, and there’s no evidence on the cloud maps. But what about the dead whales near the surface? Are they fake?”

But no one agreed with the idea of taking action against the island. They couldn’t launch a large–scale attack. That would be seen as a provocation against other nations and a violation of peace. The situation was at a deadlock.

“Are we supposed to just let the flights disappear again?” Curtis sat in his chair, tugging at his uniform buttons, feeling suffocated with anger.

Glenn hadn’t slept for days, trying to find a technical breakthrough to get in touch with the people on the island. But there was still no word.

Glenn said, “Now we know for sure that the tech on the island is way beyond what we know. And the other countries are all supportive officially.

“Unless we find solid evidence, keeping this up will only make them more secretive, more cautious, and even put Quinlyn and the others in more danger. But we can negotiate internally.”

Curtis was taken aback. “What do you mean?” He was a fighter, not someone with Glenn’s negotiating mind.

Glenn continued, “The others in Jelasica are also interested in the island. After the meeting just now, I pointed out that if the tech isn’t in our hands, there’s no need to let it develop unchecked.

“Many people agreed. Which means, whatever happens on the island, or whatever secret moves we make, it’s all allowed.”

Upon hearing these words, Curtis slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Yes! We don’t have to fly, we can go by sea. If we can’t use aircraft carriers, we’ll use something else. Our predecessors overcame tough conditions; why can’t we?”
