William was not the only one shocked by Anthony; even the audience outside of Script World was deeply impressed by Anthony's audacious demeanor.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether Anthony was showing off or teaching.
"Don't you think Anthony looks particularly cool? He’s infiltrating the enemy's stronghold, yet it feels like he’s at home, as if he’s walking through an unguarded territory!"
One could only say that the Military-Industrial Complex was quite unfortunate; instead of calling someone else, they had to summon the familiar Serpent to deal with Anthony.
Whether it was Serpent that led to victory or defeat, it was still Serpent that had previously forced Anthony to abandon his stealth and flee; now, ironically, it was helping him infiltrate. It just goes to show that every action has its consequences.
Anthony's infiltration went smoothly, with Charles providing timely intelligence. After they passed several of Serpent's defenses, the walkie-talkie they had taken from two Serpent members suddenly crackled to life with Charles's voice.
"You two need to be careful; you absolutely cannot let anyone from the Great Federation infiltrate. Just wait until the Tactical Nuclear Weapon is launched, and we will surely achieve victory. At that point, whatever we desire will be within our grasp—think about it: endless cash, exquisite wine, and cigars that never run out—all just within reach."
William broke into a cold sweat at Charles's sudden communication and looked at Anthony in desperation, wondering what they should do. If they spoke, their voices would surely give them away. If they remained silent, that would be suspicious as well.
Fortunately for William, Charles seemed more interested in boosting morale than anything else; he ended the communication without waiting for a response.
William let out a long sigh of relief, his legs feeling as if they were drunk and unsteady beneath him.
Meanwhile, Anthony had already prepared a recording device and captured Charles's remarks, sending them remotely to Joseph.
Once that was done, Anthony led William onward. On the fourth floor, they spotted a man in a lab coat accompanied by someone dressed like a secretary entering an office.
Anthony quickly gave William a knowing glance. William understood and followed him into the office. Soon after, the man in the lab coat and the secretary emerged again and headed towards the fifth floor.
Meanwhile, far from the command center, General Joseph received a message from Anthony. After listening to Charles's recording, he finally confirmed his suspicions.
He silently rejoiced at his own caution in withdrawing from the command center while hastily contacting the Hawk Faction to inform them of the crucial intelligence regarding the Tactical Nuclear Weapon.
Upon receiving this information, the Hawk Faction was shaken and immediately reached out to both the Dove Faction and Centrists to convene an emergency online meeting.
Initially, members of the Dove Faction and Centrists were skeptical and found it absurd until they listened to Charles's recording.
Once confirmed that the information about the Tactical Nuclear Weapon was true, members of the Dove Faction directed their ire at the Hawk Faction: "What kind of joke is this? Fighter jets, tanks, submarines—even aircraft carriers! We wouldn’t be surprised if these were all brought out by the Military-Industrial Complex."
It is a Tactical Nuclear Weapon! This is something that absolutely should not be produced solely by the Military-Industrial Complex! What are you Hawk Faction people thinking?!
The Centrists were also glaring at the members of the Hawk Faction with displeasure. Everyone knew that the people from the Hawk Faction used to be the biggest clients of the Military-Industrial Complex, having placed countless orders there.
They could overlook other things, they could choose not to care. But a Tactical Nuclear Weapon, the most powerful weapon of human civilization, was simply too much. It had to be addressed, it had to be scrutinized.
For the first time, the Hawk Faction truly understood what June Snow and Dou E's Grievance meant. They were desperately trying to defend themselves, claiming ignorance, insisting it wasn’t them.
No matter how hard they tried or how many explanations they offered, they could not gain any trust. A massive black pot was firmly placed on their heads, causing the members of the Hawk Faction to grit their teeth in anger.
The intelligence they had painstakingly gathered was now overshadowed by this black pot hanging over them. Who wouldn’t be furious?
