"How could he be so bold? Isn't the mushroom cloud banned globally? Also, hasn't Nashaland always had a powerful military? There's no need for him to risk developing the mushroom cloud!" Matthew's voice was grim. "Selina, have you heard of Sarcus?"

Selina replied, "Yes, of course. It's the country that was invaded by a stronger nation in order to get to their natural oil resources, right? I heard that their people are still suffering to this day." Matthew explained, "I think that's the reason Tremaine initiated Plan X. He wants to avoid Nashaland from ending up like Sarcus."

Selina found it hard to believe. "That's impossible. Isn't Nashaland's military one of the most powerful in the world?"

"I've heard that Nashaland's military force isn't as strong as the rumours say it is, and with Tremaine having launched Plan X, that gives those rumours some credibility. Restoring Nashaland's military might is too time-consuming, and developing the mushroom cloud is the fastest, most efficient way for them to protect themselves because they already have some knowledge on this..."

Selina was stunned to hear this.

She could not understand what Matthew was talking about.

All she could gather from him was that Tremaine had acted much too rashly!

He had only just become the president!

It was also rumoured that his family was so weak that they could not provide him with the support he needed. Yet he had acted so boldly!

"He's much too bold and vicious!" Selina could not help muttering.

"You're right. The Quartley family's unable to give him any support, yet he's still able to become the president. That's more than enough to prove how vicious he can be. He probably made his way to the presidential office by stepping on countless dead bodies." Selina was shocked. "Then there's no way we can allow Yesseca to be with him! She can't be with someone so vicious."

Matthew did not agree with that.

He said, "Selina, sometimes the more vicious a person is, the more loyal they could be to their other half. It's much too unfair for you to just decide on things like that." This made Selina unhappy.

She raised her voice. "Why does it sound like you're defending Tremaine?"

"I'm not, I'm just being objective."

"No, I think you're defending Tremaine!"

Matthew sighed.
