“Mr. Peter, are you sure what you said is not a joke?”

Peter spread his hands and said helplessly:

“Sir, although I would like to say ‘this is an April Fool’s joke’, unfortunately, this is the reality.”

“As you can see, a disaster of this magnitude was indeed caused by two sorcerers.”

When Iman heard this, his expression became serious:

“Those warlocks who are rated as ‘heroic’ can actually do this?”

Peter thought for a moment and then said:

“According to the intelligence feedback from America, some heroic warlocks can indeed do this.”

“I can do it…” Iman rubbed his temples with a slight headache, and then sighed: “Well, it seems that conventional technological weapons are indeed unable to check the rampage of these thugs. Should I consider supporting local super-technological research and development?”

Iman shook his head, put the idea aside, and then asked Peter:

“So, judging from the current situation, there are two heroic warlocks fighting in Taito District, right?”

Peter was silent for a moment, then said:

“Sir, it could be worse.”

“Although heroic warlocks can also cause large-scale natural disasters covering more than ten square kilometers, Mr. Charlie, who is in charge of protecting the consulate, said that the power exuded by the two warlocks fighting in the Taitung District was more terrifying than any warlock he had ever seen.”

“That is to say…” Iman’s dark face seemed to become even darker when he heard this: “Two demigod-level warlocks took action in Taitung District?”

“It’s only been a few days. The chaos in Akihabara hasn’t been resolved yet, and there’s another demigod causing trouble…”

Iman was furious at the news. Can’t these thugs wait until next year when he takes over to cause trouble?

Why choose the time when he is in office?

Iman looked at Peter with a dark face and gloomy expression:

“Mr. Peter, can the consulate defend itself against those two thugs?”

Hearing this, Peter said tactfully: “The helicopter to the Ryukyu base is ready for you.”

“…” Iman was speechless: “So, facing a demigod, I, the ambassador of the American Union, have to run for my life like an ostrich without eggs?”

Peter said very seriously: “It is because you are an ambassador that you can escape with your life.”

“Ordinary people don’t have a chance to escape.”

“After all, we are responsible for the airspace above Tokyo, and only we have the privilege of escaping from the sky.”

Yiman was stunned and asked, “What about the ground?”

Peter spoke of the cold reality with a warm face:

“Both the highway and the Shinkansen are crowded now. I don’t think you would want to ride on those iron cans and wait to die on the road.”

Upon hearing this, Yiman spread his hands and sighed:

“Okay, so our current strength is indeed unable to stop those thugs from continuing their rampage?”

Peter’s eyes turned, and then he maintained his smile and said:

“Yes, it is impossible to stop it with the power of the consulate. Perhaps the Akihabara area can do it, but the Akihabara Great Barrier was damaged recently, and it is uncertain how effective it can be at present.”

Hearing this, Iman immediately realized Peter’s “subtext”:

“What about SDS?”

“Those brave and free idealists who are bathed in the glory of Miss Klein, should take action, right?”

“Don’t they have several powerful and brave demigods?”

“Where is their justice and fairness?”

“NO, NO, NO.” Peter shook his head repeatedly, and then spread his hands and said, “Mr. Charlie has already contacted the Minister of the Secret Management Department, but the Minister seems to be rescuing a patient and cannot spare the time.”

Yiman immediately felt something was wrong, but it was hard to say, so he could only ask:

“What about the other demigods? Doesn’t SDS have several demigods?”

Peter explained subtly after hearing this:

“According to the Secretary General of the Secret Management Department, after the Akihabara incident, the demigods who were urgently summoned have returned to their respective jurisdictions. It will take some time to summon them.”

Iman finally understood the source of the problem. SDS, who had been on the front line for many years, selfishly refused to contribute:

“Omg!! Are they trying to go against their ideals?”

·· 0Request flowers···· ········

Peter heard this and said tactfully: “I think the correct way to put it should be ‘They recognize the gap between ideals and reality?'”

Hearing Peter say this, Iman glared at him, then quickly stood up and picked up the things on the table. SDS didn’t help, and Iman instantly understood the seriousness of the matter. He was not like those idiot local congressmen and knew the severity of the matter!

“Go and tell Mr. Charlie to prepare the helicopter to the Ryukyu base. Oh, and tell the clerks at the back to remember to take away all the secret documents in the embassy!”

Seeing this, Peter hurriedly stopped the ambassador and said:

“Sir, I think we should trust the power of the island country’s officials. They will protect their country.”

Iman, who was stopped, glared at Peter, pried his hands apart, and said through gritted teeth:

“It is precisely because I trust the island country’s officials too much that I realize that I must leave!!”

0…

“If our country is in the bottom 10 in terms of emergency response, then this country is number one.”

“Peter, you have to remember that unless it is the Celestial Empire across the sea, you should not trust the power of any country in the face of disasters.”

As he spoke, Iman patted Peter on the shoulder and said:

“Where’s the helicopter? I think we should leave.”

“In the open space outside the main gate.”

–

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of the island nation.

The middle-aged man in a suit with messy hair, wearing black-framed glasses and slightly bald, who looked like he had no time to comb his hair, was the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Kazuo Ishii. He was looking drowsily at the person in charge who had just arrived at the table, and asked slowly:

“How is the situation now?”

“All the military units have been dispatched, and the Ministry of Environment’s Countermeasures Office has also sent support.”

“The cabinet’s direct troops have also mobilized their forces, and the Emperor’s Guard has successfully transferred His Majesty and his family.”

“The Onmyoji Bureau has also sent out its elites.”

“The monster forces related to the Nura Group are also actively carrying out disaster relief.”

After listening to these reports, Ishii Kazuo’s dissatisfaction became more intense:

“I don’t want to ask these. I just want to know, when will the demigod of SDS arrive?”

After these words were spoken, the place fell into silence.

Until a young person in charge whispered:

“We have already contacted the SDS Secret Management Department headquarters.”

Ishii Kazuo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and asked in confusion:

“Oh? Then how many demigods did they send out?”

“They responded with one sentence, which was said to be the ‘original words’ said by the minister.”

“Hmm? What?” Ishii Kazuo asked curiously.

The people below immediately lowered their heads and whispered:

“He said: ‘I don’t have time to deal with it, go away, go to hell with you.'”

After the words fell, a dead silence filled the entire conference hall for a long time.

Chapter 354 Because it is a private enterprise

After a long silence, Ishii Kazuo could not help but say:

“How dare he…”

“We invited them, and they dared not to take action?”

The people below looked strange.

Finally, the Vice Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Katsura Yoshida, could not help but whisper to his “idiot” boss:

“Minister, SDS is a private enterprise in America.”

Yoshida Katsura emphasized the term “private enterprise.”

Ishii Kazuo was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion:

“But didn’t I hear that every time an Abyss Descent event occurs, the SDS is always on the front line? And what kind of priority do they have?”

“It’s the priority right of exploration.” Yoshida Katsura seemed to be very accustomed to the stupidity of ministers. After all, this was not the first minister he had cooperated with.

According to the frequency of annual changes of ministers in the island country, this is his 17th “Mrs. Ox”.

“SDS’s ‘priority exploration rights’ are priority ‘zero-three-three’ intelligence acquisition and event handling for sudden abyssal disaster events and abyssal advent events.”

After Yoshida Katsura finished speaking, he immediately realized that the minister might not understand, so he immediately explained:

“To put it simply, general Abyss Advent events have certain benefits, such as Abyss Props, or some special Abyss Materials. In such matters, SDS has the priority right of exploration, and the island nation’s organizations cannot prohibit them from intervening in the exploration.”

“This incident is different. It’s two sorcerers fighting each other. To put it bluntly, excluding the factor of supernatural power, it’s just two people fighting. This is a civil or even criminal matter. SDS doesn’t actually have the clauses to intervene.”

“So, they themselves have no say in this matter.”

Hearing this, Ishii Kazuo was stunned:

“So they take the benefits, but we have to take the brunt of the consequences?”

“How could we agree to such conditions?”

Hearing this, Yoshida Kei smiled kindly: “Because SDS is an American company.”

The garrison base in Ryukyu is there, and SDS is the PY financial sponsor behind the garrison. Why do you think they agreed to this harsh term?

Ishii Kazuo frowned when he heard this: “But I remember there was a rumor that the United Nations wanted to suppress SDS, didn’t they?”

Yoshida Katsura’s only response to this was a smile, and that was all he could do:

“Are we united then?”

Let’s not talk about the rumors that the five major alliances want to suppress SDS. Are they island countries an alliance?

Ishii Kazuo’s face immediately turned pale, and he said in an unpleasant tone:

“So, even if SDS refuses to help, we can’t do anything about it?”

“There is still a way.” Yoshida Kei smiled: “For example, die at the door of their base.”

Ishii Kazuo glared at Yoshida Katsura with a dark face, but he couldn’t turn his face against him.

After all, the civil service system is behind the Deputy Minister of Affairs. You have to know that the Deputy Minister of Affairs is permanent, but the ministers are transient.

If a real fight breaks out, he, as the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, really has no way to deal with Yoshida Katsura.

“So what should we do now? Allow the terrorists to wreak havoc in Taito District?”

Hearing that the minister finally asked a human question, Yoshida Katsura sighed:

“We can only mobilize the military, unite with the cabinet’s direct troops and the Ministry of Environment’s Countermeasures Office, and consider expelling the target.”

“In addition, we will ask for support from the Nura Clan, the Vampire Elders Council, and the Onmyoji Ryo.”

“And the regular troops are responsible for rescuing the citizens.”

After hearing what the Vice Minister of Affairs said, the debtors below could not help but ask:

“So where is our bottom line?”

Yoshida Katsura pondered for a moment, tapped the table with his index finger and said:

“Our bottom line is to limit the scale to Taitung District and try to silence the public.”
