445: It was not a discussion or an inquiry, but a notification.
Hearing the Commander's report, Liu Yan, who was sitting in front of Demulan, raised an eyebrow.
He indeed knew that Geheros had gone to chase the Raven.
But what he didn't know was how it had gotten dragged into this three-party battlefield.
"Wha... what's going on?" Demulan asked, looking at Liu Yan.
The latter leaned back in his chair, feet propped up on the table, toying with his quantum storage in his hand, and retorted:
"What do you think is going on?"
After hearing what Liu Yan said, Demulan looked at Jacob, who was to the side.
After receiving a confirming look, Demulan replied:
"Stay put..."
"What? Director Demulan... things are already on the verge of breaking out... stay put..."
"I said stay put!" Demulan's voice sounded a bit anxious.
After saying that, she directly cut off contact with the other party.
Liu Yan nodded in satisfaction and turned his head to look at Jacob, who looked troubled.
"Have you thought it through, Mr. Jacob?"
"This..." Jacob was still somewhat conflicted.
"You also heard the situation over there; you don't have much time left to consider."
"Either you stop on your own, or I intervene."
"I believe you are a smart man."
"And considering you helped me before, that's why I'm making these suggestions—it's better for everyone."
After Liu Yan finished speaking, he went silent again, waiting for Jacob to think.
In front of them, the same lie detector from before was still sitting there.
Just a short while ago, Liu Yan had left the Tidal Prison.
And the name he had entered into it at the time was Jacob.
After thinking for a long time, Jacob slowly opened his mouth:
"First of all, the root cause leading to this outcome does not lie with Hafke at all."
"You should be threatening the Asara side right now instead."
Enduring the pressure from Liu Yan, Jacob remained composed and unflinching.
But at the same time, his mind was racing, trying to figure out how Liu Yan had appeared out of thin air.
And what was that black hole?
"A ceasefire is the best outcome, isn't it?"
"I just said, let's be fair."
"Give GTI full international peacekeeping status."
"Satisfy the living needs of the asara people."
"As for what you want, under these conditions, it will naturally be achievable."
"The three parties will reach a win-win cooperation."
Listening to Liu Yan, Jacob sighed helplessly.
"Your idea... it hasn't been carefully considered, it's a bit naive..."
"Not to mention..." Before Jacob could finish, Liu Yan shook his head and interrupted him.
"You might not have understood my meaning yet."
"I am not asking, nor am I discussing."
"I came to notify you."
"The reason I'm telling you a second time is because you helped me before."
"But I will not repeat it a third time."
After listening, Jacob's face showed difficulty again.
He could certainly see that Liu Yan had already shown enough patience.
It wasn't like he couldn't tell from those previous videos how little patience this person in front of him had.
Being able to talk to this extent was already a stroke of immense good fortune for his ancestors.
Just the fact that the other party could suddenly appear beside him showed that the other party could kill him at any time.
"But..."
"However..."
"Sigh."
"If the Asara and GTI have no objections, then I'm not unable to accept it."
"Or perhaps we could bring them over to talk about it together?"
"Just the two of us probably won't be able to discuss anything."
"If, as you say, the three parties take what they need, the issue of interests will inevitably lead to an uneven distribution."
"If we don't sit down together to negotiate and agree, it's almost impossible to implement."
"After all, even things that are agreed upon get broken by someone; I've experienced it firsthand." Jacob patted his own legs.
Demulan, who was listening to their conversation on the side, also nodded.
Immediately after, Jacob changed the subject and continued:
"Could it be that you, on your own, can topple any one of the sides?"
Hearing Jacob finish, Liu Yan smiled thoughtfully.
Jacob seemed to be lowering his stance.
But he was testing him at every turn.
Whether it was bringing others over to chat.
Or that last sentence.
"Bringing them over, that's fine."
"As for what you said about toppling any one side on my own..."
"That's not correct."
"It's not that I can topple any one side."
Beep — — — — —
The lie detector suddenly let out a sharp sound.
Jacob's brows furrowed sharply.
"Not that I can topple any one side... then isn't that just saying I can?"
Demulan also reacted instantly, looking at Liu Yan in disbelief.
Can one person really achieve this level?
Liu Yan ignored the lie detector and the reactions of the two, continuing:
"It's that I can topple all three of your parties simultaneously."
"Hiss — —!" Hearing this, Demulan immediately cosplayed as a snake-like creature, letting out a sharp intake of breath.
To the side, Jacob's eyes nearly popped out.
If the lie detector hadn't sounded once before, Jacob would have even suspected that it was broken.
This sentence.
Was no less than someone running up to tell him.
"I can craft a nuke with my bare hands."
And in this situation, the lie detector didn't sound.
"Right, this should work as a token of my sincerity." Liu Yan pulled a medical robot out of thin air from his quantum storage.
This scene shocked Jacob and Demulan to their cores.
Information storage technology?!
Isn't this damn thing a conceptual-level technology that only exists in theory?
After Liu Yan placed the medical robot on the ground, it quickly moved to Jacob's side.
Then it began to forcibly treat Jacob's legs.
This scene gave Jacob a fright.
However, he didn't show it.
After all, if Liu Yan really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.
But soon, something happened that shattered Demulan and Jacob's worldview...
Jacob's originally shattered kneecaps had completely recovered in just 2 seconds.
Even without relying on the exoskeletons beside his legs, Jacob could move his legs on his own.
"This..." Jacob and Demulan exchanged glances, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
From the moment Liu Yan appeared until now.
In just a few short minutes.
He had already shocked the two of them I don't know how many times.
"Are you really from this world?" Jacob asked in a deep voice.
Liu Yan nodded.
Beep — — — — — —!
The sound that suddenly came from the lie detector made Liu Yan pause for a moment.
He looked at Jacob in astonishment.
And at this moment, Jacob's eyes were also filled with shock.
Liu Yan frowned and asked:
"It can test even without speaking?"
Jacob didn't answer immediately; he was still staring fixedly at Liu Yan, unable to digest this information.
After a long while, Jacob slowly began to explain:
"It's been upgraded..."
"Not only can it measure body movements..."
"In front of it, playing word games doesn't work either."
Liu Yan was somewhat speechless.
Just how badly must someone have been deceived to put so much effort into a lie detector?
Liu Yan stood up and took out a military information terminal and the ten thousand gold tear crown from his quantum storage.
"Forget it, if they know, they know."
"You wait here; I'm going to bring the others over."
"Just like you said, we'll talk together."
