384: Jacob's apology and sincerity
Beep — — — —
Sizzle — — — —
Before Roy could release the smoke, the Supreme Commander had already pressed the electronic device in his hand.
The moment the electronic device was pressed, Roy's smoke drone lost power and fell to the ground without any warning.
"Roy, I gave you a chance."
"You are bent on shielding Liu Yan. I have sufficient reason to suspect that you and he come from the same organization."
Seeing this scene, the last glimmer of luck in Roy's heart was extinguished.
He swallowed subconsciously.
"It's over. This time, I might really be done for..."
After finishing, Roy looked back at Liu Yan, and this glance made Roy's pupils shrink uncontrollably.
Roy even suspected if he had misread it.
At this moment, Liu Yan's two eyes were exuding two completely different emotions.
One eye radiated uncontrollable fury, and the entire pupil was even trembling with anger.
While the other eye was a dead silence that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
That eye was cold to the extreme; when it looked at all the Operators present, it was as if it were looking at a group of dead people.
And Liu Yan's expression seemed to be trying hard to suppress these two completely different, yet ultimately identical, emotions.
Two voices were also constantly intersecting in Liu Yan's mind.
It was as if two demons were whispering at the same time.
One voice spoke of murderous intent in a calm tone.
The other voice was angry and could not hide its murderous intent.
Just then, the sound of tires rolling over the ground rang out outside the restaurant.
A business sedan, so black it reflected light and completely refracted the moonlight, stopped at the restaurant entrance.
Screech — — — —
Immediately after, a harsh screeching sound of brakes rang out, attracting the attention of everyone inside the restaurant.
At the same time, Liu Yan also restrained his emotions.
After the car stopped, the driver pushed the door open and got out, skillfully walked to the back seat, opened the door, and thoughtfully placed a hand on the car edge.
Under everyone's gaze, a leg wearing dress pants stepped out from the car door.
Immediately after, a figure wearing a crisp black suit came into everyone's view.
Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone present simultaneously furrowed their brows and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Everyone present couldn't imagine, no matter what.
Why the owner of this figure would appear here.
"Jacob Havoc, what are you doing here?"
The Supreme Commander looked at Jacob with a hostile expression.
In stark contrast to the Supreme Commander's reaction of facing a formidable enemy.
Jacob was calm and composed, walking slowly into the restaurant.
Despite being locked onto by countless black gun barrels, Jacob seemed to be walking into an empty place.
The crisp suit appeared exceptionally elegant under the lock of the gun barrels.
Facing the GTI Supreme Commander's questioning, Jacob completely ignored it.
Instead, he slowly raised his hand and pointed outside the restaurant.
"Look, it's raining."
These four simple words reached the ears of the Operators and the Commander present, feeling no less than being struck by lightning.
With today's level of technology, weather forecasts have long been incredibly accurate.
And there was absolutely no chance of rain these past few days.
The Supreme Commander glanced at the fine, sudden rain outside the window, then looked at the calm Jacob.
How this rain came about was now self-evident.
Long before, they had heard that Hafke was researching weather weapons.
Right now, it was clearly the effect caused by the other party's weather weapon.
But this was not the root of everyone's shock.
It was that Hafke could actually make it rain over the GTI headquarters.
This meant that they could directly target and attack the GTI headquarters.
That "it's raining" was also Jacob's naked threat!
After understanding all this, many Operators didn't know what to do for a moment and looked at the Supreme Commander one after another.
And the latter's forehead was now slightly sweating with cold sweat.
Even though Jacob entered the restaurant alone, and the entire GTI was pointing guns at him.
But at this moment, every Operator felt immense pressure in their hearts.
But next, Jacob's actions made them feel incredible once again.
In the tense atmosphere, Jacob walked in front of Liu Yan in front of everyone.
Then, he bowed stiffly to Liu Yan.
"On behalf of Hafke, I apologize for the misunderstanding that occurred with you in Amiya Town."
Once these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, leaving only the sound of dripping rain outside and the rapid breathing of many people.
After speaking, Jacob stood straight, smiled slightly at Liu Yan, and at the same time took out a device similar to a power bank from his pocket.
"Perhaps you won't believe what I'm about to say; after all, people can't always communicate sincerely with each other."
"This is Hafke's new type of lie detector. The principle is to judge whether the speaker is lying based on brain waves."
As his voice fell, Jacob pressed the switch of the lie detector.
Even under the condition of GTI electronic signal interference, the lie detector was not affected in the slightest.
Subsequently, Jacob continued to say apologetically:
"Hello, let me introduce myself now."
"My name is Jacob Havoc, and I am the founder of the Hafuk Group."
"Regarding everything that happened in Amiya Town, I was not aware of it at the beginning."
"Of course, I have already criticized the person who caused all these results."
Just after Jacob finished speaking, Liu Yan frowned and raised his hand to interrupt, looking at Jacob with some vigilance:
"Wait."
Everything came too suddenly; at this moment, Liu Yan couldn't tell what was what.
But this old Jacob looked like he was here to save him?
After being interrupted by Liu Yan, Jacob was neither anxious nor annoyed, just nodded slightly with a smile, waiting for Liu Yan.
After thinking for a while, the latter said:
"How can I be sure you didn't tamper with the lie detector?"
Hearing this question, Jacob showed an expression of having expected it long ago.
He placed the lie detector on the table to the side.
At the same time, he spread his hands, as if telling Liu Yan that he had nothing in his hands.
"I tampered with the lie detector."
The next second, the sharp sound of the lie detector rang out.
Beep — — — —!!
"Regarding the matter of Amiya Town, I was aware of it long ago."
Beep — — — — — —!!
"Regarding the matter of Amiya Town, I was not aware of it, and I have already criticized the person involved, Demulan."
For the last time, the lie detector did not sound again.
At the same time, it also showed.
Everything Jacob said earlier.
Was the truth!
"I have heard everything that just happened in the restaurant."
Jacob raised his hand to point around the restaurant, and at the same time gave the Supreme Commander a meaningful look.
The meaning was obvious: guess which corner the bug is hidden in?
The latter's face was already so gloomy it was about to drip water.
This action of Jacob was undoubtedly slapping GTI in the face in public!
Ignoring the Supreme Commander, Jacob continued to look at Liu Yan.
"Originally, I just intended to come and apologize to you in person."
"But I didn't expect things to develop like this."
Jacob raised his hand and pointed to the Operators pointing their guns around.
Immediately after, the lie detector made a sharp sound.
Beep — — — — — —!
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Jacob.
The latter smiled helplessly and spread his hands.
"Alright, actually, I knew from the beginning that GTI might do this."
"After all, whether it's your information or the technology you've displayed, it would make any faction vigilant."
"So, I have already sent people to delete all the videos about you online."
"It's just that after GTI backed them up and immediately cut off the power, Hafke didn't have time to delete them."
Until Jacob finished speaking, the lie detector did not sound again.
After glancing at the Operators with guns raised, Jacob looked at Liu Yan again.
"With me here, you and your friends can safely leave here."
"I can guarantee that no one can touch a hair on your heads."
"Consider it an actual compensation for the Amiya Town incident."
Seeing that Liu Yan's expression was still somewhat vigilant, Jacob smiled and said:
"Don't worry, it's not about doing a favor, nor is it moral kidnapping."
"Just as I said."
"It's just pure compensation."
After Jacob finished speaking, Liu Yan kept staring at the lie detector.
Time passed minute by minute.
The lie detector still lay there calmly.
It did not make a single sound.
"You can rest assured, what I pursue is that there is no greed between people, and that they treat each other with sincerity."
Seeing that Liu Yan was still vigilant towards him, Jacob smiled and spoke again.
Subsequently, Jacob turned his head and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the GTI Supreme Commander.
Completely different from the tone he used with Liu Yan, Jacob's voice was exceptionally cold:
"I am taking them with me now."
"Do you have any objections?"
