582: Chapter 581 The First Step in the City Defense Plan!

In a corner nearby.

Zhao Ming held a glass of brightly colored fruit juice.

He quietly watched Xiang Guangming, who was surrounded by the crowd, and observed the expressions of greed, obsequiousness, and calculation on the faces of those North America elites, a faint, imperceptible cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The baiting was successful.

The fish are starting to take the bait.

This performance was exactly the first step of the "City Defense Plan".

Every word, every pause, and every emotional outburst in Xiang Guangming's "drunken words" tonight was part of a precise script that he and Xiang Guangming had rehearsed countless times.

Because he felt dissatisfied due to being ostracized and suppressed within China, he intended to rally a group of "like-minded" people overseas, preparing to one day return to China and reclaim everything that belonged to him.

This excuse perfectly utilized Xiang Guangming's previous status as a "The Doves leader" and also fit the typical psychology of a disgruntled big shot, so it would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Zhao Ming drained the fruit juice in his goblet in one gulp.

As this rebel organization named "Frontiers of Science" continued to grow, once the time was ripe, they could step by step throw out more inflammatory slogans.

The Earth-Trisolaris Organization, hidden in the shadows, would sooner or later notice them and take the initiative to make contact.

At that time.

They could feign cooperation and form an "alliance" with the other party, one visible and one hidden.

Then, they would be able to legitimately "recruit troops and buy horses" openly on Earth under the banner of the "Earth-Trisolaris Organization", attracting all the forces and individuals harboring evil intentions against China!

Although the whole process sounded full of variables and risks, the initiative remained firmly in their own hands.

Best case, two or three months; worst case, half a year, and they would see initial results.

...

That night.

Professor Disser returned to his hotel suite.

The moment the door locked, the gentle smile on his face vanished without a trace.

Without turning on the lights, he walked straight to the window and abruptly pulled the heavy velvet curtains shut, completely shutting out the bustling lights of the Washington Special Administrative Region.

The room fell into pure darkness and silence.

Professor Disser took a matchbox-sized metal block from his pocket and pressed the switch on the side.

The metal block emitted a burst of infrasound inaudible to the human ear, instantly jamming all potential eavesdropping devices in the room.

After doing all this, he opened a black briefcase he had carried with him.

There were no clothes inside the case, only modules fixed in place by black foam.

Professor Disser quickly assembled the modules, forming a strangely shaped communication device.

The device was pitch black with no reflections, its surface covered in irregular geometric patterns.

As the device started up, a faint quantum fluctuation instantly pierced through the building, crossing a vast physical distance to connect to the First Holy Land located underground on the North America continent.

In the air, light and shadow distorted.

Soon, Smith's well-defined face appeared on the holographic projection.

"Eye of Heaven, what is the situation?"

"Your Holiness!"

Professor Disser knelt on one knee, bowed his head, his voice suppressing intense excitement.

He reported everything that happened at the banquet tonight to Smith in minute detail.

From how Xiang Guangming used his drunkenness to vent his grievances, to every detail of his promise to give the green light to them, the "Western talents," he described it all vividly.

After listening to Professor Disser's report.

From the shadows behind Smith, a figure dressed in red walked out; it was Archbishop Nakamura Inao.

"Xiang Guangming... I have known him for many years."

Nakamura Inao pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"In the past, he was the most famous leader of The Doves in the Chinese scientific community, always advocating for strengthening academic exchange and cooperation with the West."

"Because of this, he often faced attacks from The Hawks within China."
