On the other hand, the situation was dire. On the way here, Charles had informed them that a Tactical Nuclear Weapon was smuggled aboard the Transport Ship. Even without witnessing it firsthand, just hearing about it was enough to send chills down their spines and raise the hairs on their necks.
No matter how reckless or impulsive the Serpent's leaders were, they dared not cross Charles and launch an attack on the Investigation Bureau. Compared to shooting at these hunting dogs, that mysterious Tactical Nuclear Weapon appearing in the metropolis was the real trouble they needed to prioritize.
Coincidentally, the captains of the Investigation Bureau shared the same sentiment. Although they were face-to-face with criminals they had longed to capture day and night, that Tactical Nuclear Weapon was still of greater importance than these offenders.
A philosopher once said that to unite two contradictory sides, a third party must emerge that poses a threat to both. In this way, both black and white would naturally come together.
Anthony and Charles undoubtedly recognized this point, which is why they began by exchanging pleasantries in a businesslike manner.
"Is this it? Just this? Damn it, I even made instant noodles with braised eggs and ham, and you show me this? You say we won't fight, and just like that, we won't?"
"This is fraud! I've reported it! You talked about rivers of blood and a showdown between black and white—what happened to that grand spectacle? How did we end up negotiating?"
"Isn't it understandable? With a nuclear bomb right in front of them, how much confidence would one need to start fighting before dealing with the bomb?"
The audience's dissatisfaction and analysis through Danmaku had no impact on the decision-making of those in charge.
"Ryan! Gather the team!" Anthony commanded decisively, leading the already ceased-fire Third Action Team to withdraw from the Transport Ship.
When Ryan and his team returned, Charles waved his hand while Ed shouted nearby, and Bojins led his people down as well.
A silent standoff ensued; after both sides regrouped, no one made a move to leave first. They exchanged glances—if looks could kill, there would be bodies strewn across the ground.
After a moment, two vehicles sped towards them from either side. Both black and white factions moved forward to greet their arrivals—not some big shots but scientists.
The two leaders exchanged nods as members from the Investigation Bureau and Serpent helped carry various instruments onto the ship. One was an expert professor specially invited by Anthony from the Nuclear Research Institute, who had been urgently summoned from home. The other was a prominent figure in Physical Research brought over through Charles's connections with an Arms Company.
True to their expertise, they took their time getting on board but descended quickly once their work began.
In just a few minutes, the two experts rushed down, fleeing in a panic, completely disoriented. They didn't even look at the path ahead, stumbling as they ran. Earlier, they had come down with heavy bags, but now they were empty-handed. Even the members of the Investigation Bureau and Cobra Gang who had helped carry the equipment left it all behind.
They ran fast, embodying the wealth and power of the Investigation Bureau and the Cobra Gang. Such precious instruments were simply abandoned without a second thought. Or perhaps it was a testament to humanity's instinct for survival?
Run! Run!
The two experts shouted a few words that required no complex or technical explanations, nor any concrete evidence. Everyone who heard those words—whether from the white-clad Investigation Bureau or the black-clad Cobra Gang—understood one thing clearly: that Tactical Nuclear Weapon was about to explode!
