Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Li Yuanshan's image disappeared, and the emblem of the Bureau of Mystery was restored in the center of the screen. The virtual conference room fell into a brief silence, almost audible with the crackling of electricity.

A few seconds later, the representative of the Eagle Nation abruptly cleared his throat, breaking the silence. His virtual avatar wore an undisguised expression of sarcasm and anger, and his voice was even sharper than before:

"Open cooperation? Freedom of movement? That sounds better than it is!"

He paused, seemingly organizing his words for something even harsher, his gaze sweeping across the small screens of the other representatives, trying to find supporters:

"But as far as I know, during the time we were meeting, at least three, no, maybe four, 'internal meetings' were organized within the Dragon Kingdom targeting these Fama guests!"

My intelligence department has concrete information that a large number of visitors with combat capabilities have been prioritized for screening, and a significant portion of them have already accepted the Dragon Kingdom's 'invitation' to join their various departments, including their military!

He emphasized his tone:

"Intelligence indicates that the Dragon Kingdom has already taken away most of the best resources!"

We know all the information in the game by heart, right?

The difference in strength between the guests at the weight table is like heaven and earth!

The one in light armor wielding an ebony sword and the one in War God armor wielding a Judgment Sword are both considered guests of the Fudge, but how can they be the same?!

Not to mention, the upgrade paths for these professionals are firmly controlled by the Dragon Kingdom!

Also, what does it mean that it "must not be used in wars and disputes between nations"?

He was directly admitted to an army group!

Are they being asked to cook in the army mess hall?

I strongly suspect that those truly top-tier figures, those with the potential to change the course of the war, probably won't even have the chance to appear at this 'public meeting'; they've already been hidden away by the Dragon Kingdom!"

The complaints from the representative of the United Kingdom were full of hostility, with every sentence pointing to the inconsistency between the words and actions of the United Kingdom.

Logically speaking, his words were not entirely unreasonable, and may even have hit some of the facts.

However, to his surprise, the meeting room fell silent again. The French representative merely adjusted his posture slightly but did not respond.

The German representative's gaze behind her glasses remained calm, as if she were assessing something. The Japanese representative, on the other hand, had shifty eyes, looking down at her virtual control panel as if studying its patterns.

Even Kim Min-hoon, the South Korean representative who had just received Li Yuanshan's "affirmation," simply shrank back and continued to play the role of a nobody.

No one echoed the accusations made by the representative from the United States, nor did anyone offer a rebuttal.

This silence is not an endorsement of the Dragon Kingdom's claims, but rather a more complex, unspoken understanding.

It's very simple. The Dragon Kingdom has already relented and is willing to share some of its profits, and has given a (superficially) high-sounding reason and set of rules.

This is enough!

The Dragon Kingdom made the greatest effort, bearing the initial risks and costs, to bring these people from the other world over and to carry out initial resettlement and management. They prioritized selecting some talents from among them, and even took the best ones. From the perspective of other countries, although they were unhappy, it was not an entirely unacceptable price.

As for the rule that it "must not be used in war"?

Everyone here knows perfectly well that this is nothing but a fig leaf laid out on the table, pure nonsense, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Who would recruit a group of powerful beings from another world with exceptional skills and rich combat experience, feed them well, and then only send them to maintain order in the park?

The ultimate goal is to enhance one's own strength. Whether it is to deal with potential threats or to increase leverage in future international competition, the power of these "special talents" is indispensable.

Everyone knows perfectly well that once these people arrive in their own country, if handled properly, there are always ways to make them "voluntarily" serve the country and circumvent that ridiculous regulation.

Therefore, the seemingly "righteous" accusations made by the representative of the United States at this moment appeared somewhat inappropriate, or even foolish, in the eyes of the other shrewd representatives.

With the benefits of getting something for free, why are you still picky about what you eat?

Are you kidding me?!

Please don't give it to me!

Breaking the ice now will only worsen relations with China and make the subsequent takeover process more complicated; it will bring no benefit whatsoever.

Many people were even thinking to themselves: If this interdimensional portal had opened in London or Washington, this representative from the United States probably wouldn't have even held a "public meeting." He would have already kept all the visitors firmly under his control and strictly blocked all information.

Now that China is willing to share the spoils, why are you still nitpicking and complaining about how others are behaving? That's incredibly tactless.

On the screen, the window representing the French rooster flickered, and the representative, with a slightly amused smile, bowed slightly before disconnecting.

Immediately afterwards, the German female representative's calm expression vanished, and she made no further comment.

The image of the Japanese representative went dark, as if he had never existed. Finally, even Kim Min-hoon, the South Korean representative who had been trying to minimize his presence, quickly left the meeting room as if granted a pardon.

In the virtual space, only the glaringly eerie badge of the central Administration Bureau and the virtual face of the Eagle Country representative, so gloomy it seemed to drip water, appeared exceptionally lonely and comical.

The representative from the United States felt a surge of anger rising to his head, and clenched his fists tightly on his knees.

What a bunch of short-sighted idiots! They were fooled by the Chinese and they're still gloating!

Li Yuanshan's words were full of loopholes and utterly hypocritical! What "freedom to come and go," what "not to be used in war"—it's all bullshit! They've already taken the fattest pieces, and now that a few bones are thrown out, these guys are wagging their tails and rushing to them! And they call themselves a world superpower? It's laughable!

He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it hard against the "Disconnect" button on the virtual control panel.

The virtual conference room vanished instantly, replaced by a real-life view of his highly secure office in Washington, D.C. He was alone in the room, so quiet that the low hum of the air conditioning system could be heard.

No, we absolutely cannot let this go!

He immediately grabbed the receiver of the red encrypted phone on the table and dialed a short number.

We must report this to the President immediately!

But complaining won't do any good. Sir Smith waited for the call to connect while quickly thinking of a solution.

First, the Eagle Kingdom must attend this "meeting" organized by the Dragon Kingdom, and it must be fully prepared. A top-level delegation must be assembled in the shortest possible time, including the best psychologists, linguists, and intelligence analysts. Highly enticing offers must be prepared—comfortable living conditions, legal citizenship, and even promises of social status—specifically targeting those seemingly powerful and unruly "experts."

We must snatch a few of the most valuable individuals from the remaining people in the Dragon Kingdom! Even just one top-tier fighter could turn the tide!

Furthermore, we must never allow the Dragon Kingdom to comfortably dominate everything!

You always lead me by the nose. Where is my great beacon of dignity?
