372: The plan of the Ugly Country's leader

United States.

Washington State.

The President paced back and forth, filled with unease, wondering if the operation had succeeded.

Camilla, sitting on the sofa, watched the pacing President, frowning and rubbing her forehead.

"Dad, stop pacing. You're making me dizzy."

"Dad, just sit still for a bit!" Camilla complained, "If you keep turning, I'm going to throw up."

The President stopped, sat beside Camilla, and anxiously said, "Daughter, this operation is related to the future of our country. I can't help but worry."

Camilla understood her father's concerns, but she still tried to comfort him: "Don't worry, Dad, our plan is perfect, and it will definitely succeed."

However, a faint ominous premonition lingered in the President's heart.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang. The President quickly answered, and as he listened to the report, his face grew increasingly grim.

After hanging up, the President slumped weakly onto the sofa. Camilla anxiously asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The President was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The plan failed. We need to make other arrangements immediately."

Camilla nodded.

"Where is Jack now?"

"Jack is recuperating in a hotel."

"Hotel?!"

"Yes, there's an old Chinese saying, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place.'"

"Clever."

After speaking, he gave a thumbs-up gesture with an approving look.

The President turned to Camilla and asked, "Has the diary updated any information about the Dragon Gate recently?"

Camilla shook her head: "No."

"Jack's identity has been exposed. Why don't we call Jack back? He can also recover from his injuries during this time."

The President was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, that's the only way."

"Our country doesn't have many Cultivators to begin with, so we can't risk losing them for a small gain."

The President immediately contacted Jack, asking him to return to the United States as soon as possible.

At the same time, the President also began to prepare for potential situations that might arise.

A few days later, Jack returned to the United States.

His injuries had almost healed, but his mood was exceptionally heavy.

"I'm sorry, President, I failed to complete the mission..." Jack said, lowering his head.

"It's not your fault, Jack. The failure of this plan was not your mistake."

The President patted Jack's shoulder, "The most important thing now is how much information you gathered about the Dragon Gate during your time in Dragon Country, and what their next plan is."

"Reporting to the President, according to my investigation, the Dragon Gate suddenly appeared in the East Sea. Cultivating in the Dragon Gate will accelerate the speed of a Cultivator's Cultivation. Additionally, there are various challenge levels within the Dragon Gate. As long as one successfully passes the Formation, they can improve their cultivation and enhance the quality of their talent. However, the specific extent of the enhancement is unknown."

Jack stood straight, his face serious, reporting his findings to the President.

Upon hearing this news, the President stood up directly from his seat, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He could not hide his joy, and his voice trembled slightly as he said to Jack, "Excellent, Jack! This is truly exciting news!"

A brilliant smile spread across his face, as if he had already seen the hope and possibilities of the future.

However, he quickly regained his composure and decisiveness, his sharp gaze fixed on Jack as he asked, "So, what about the specific location of the Dragon Gate and how to enter it?"

Jack shook his head somewhat helplessly, indicating that he had not yet found the exact location of the Dragon Gate.

He explained, "A powerful Formation seems to be set up near the Dragon Gate, making it impossible for us to accurately pinpoint its location. Furthermore, the East Sea Dragon Gate does not have a clear fixed coordinate, which also increases the difficulty of finding it."

The President frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "Then are you able to enter the Dragon Gate itself?"

Jack's expression became somewhat complex, and he hesitated before answering, "As long as I don't encounter certain specific individuals, for example, if I don't meet the person who injured me, I should be able to smoothly find the entrance to the Dragon Gate and enter it."

The President burst into laughter after hearing this, repeating the word "Good" three times.

He had full confidence in Jack and believed that he would definitely be able to find the entrance to the Dragon Gate.

This discovery made him incredibly excited, as he knew that the existence of the Dragon Gate would bring them immense opportunities and benefits.

Just then, Camilla walked into the room.

"Dad, I have an idea..."

Before Camilla could finish speaking, she saw Jack standing nearby.

Upon seeing Camilla, Jack immediately nodded, "Greetings, Second Miss."

Camilla nodded, then looked at the President, "Dad, this is..."

The President explained to Camilla the intelligence Jack had just reported, and Camilla smiled after listening.

She hadn't expected Jack to bring back such significant intelligence after only a few days in Dragon Country.

Her gaze towards Jack couldn't help but carry a hint of admiration.

"Dad, since Jack's understanding of the Dragon Gate's information is already so complete, and now he only needs to accurately find the entrance to the Dragon Gate, it might not be convenient for Jack to act alone. How about we call another person to assist him?" Camilla suggested.

The President's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea.

"But if the people of the Dragon Gate discover them, wouldn't Jack and his companion be in great danger?" the President said with some concern.

"This time, we will give Jack and his companion a few more red Medicinal Pills. Furthermore, Jack's skill, whether it's day or night, as long as one isn't focusing on shadows, who would even notice him?

Moreover, Jack's strength is not weak, and with the addition of another person this time, I believe they can handle it." Camilla analyzed.

The President considered for a moment and finally nodded, agreeing to Camilla's suggestion.

"Then let's do it that way. Jack, you need to act carefully. Someone will contact you shortly. You two should try to gather as much information as possible about the Dragon Gate. If anything happens, contact us immediately." the President instructed.

Jack nodded. He knew that the person the President arranged for him would definitely be a Cultivator as well.

Thinking of the Dragon Country person who injured him last time, Jack's teeth almost shattered.

This time, he would repay all the new and old grudges to the Dragon Country people, making them taste his power.

He would make them wish for death but unable to die, so they would know that he, Jack, was not to be trifled with.

"Don't worry, President. I will definitely complete the mission!" Jack said firmly.

The President immediately made arrangements. Not long after, there was a knock on the President's door.

It was Milton Peter.

"President, Second Miss."

After greeting them, he inadvertently looked at Jack, then immediately said to the President, "President, you called for me?"

The President pointed to Jack, who was standing nearby, and introduced, "This is Jack. Get to know each other."

Peter smiled and nodded at Jack, and Jack nodded in return, but his eyes were full of challenge towards Peter.

The President observed the subtle atmosphere between the two, secretly pleased.

If the two of them could coexist peacefully, that would truly be cause for concern!

After the two greeted each other, the President cleared his throat and explained why Peter had been called to the office.

"Peter, in a few days, you will go to Dragon Country with Jack to carry out a mission. You need to cooperate with each other and complete this operation together." the President said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Peter immediately straightened up, his expression becoming serious.

"Understood, President. We will definitely complete the mission to Perfection." he replied firmly.

Jack stood to the side, a slight smirk on his lips, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming mission.

The President stood up, patted Peter and Jack on the shoulders, and encouraged them, "I believe you will succeed. Good luck!"
