Unspeakable bubbles

“Bridge has dealt us a heavy blow this time, and we can’t remain completely indifferent.”

"The Athena Project is unstoppable, so we'll try something else."

Cotton pondered for a moment: "It's certain that Glorious Group has a strong connection with Bridge."

"In that case, it's our next target."

"Sir, is there a way to break through?"

In the game "Awakener" developed by Glorious Group, there is a place called "Dream Forest".

"Stepping into that forest, players will 'return to the past' and confront the painful experiences they want to forget."

Cotton said coldly, "This definitely involves the use of prohibited technology. Glorious Group has violated the players' right to privacy!"

"In fact, some players have already suffered psychological trauma and are receiving psychological treatment."

Soon, the officials present reached a consensus.

"Sue Guanghui Group until they're bankrupt!"

Cotton nodded in satisfaction, but his eyes remained cold.

How many of these governors are Bridges' men?

Having just experienced betrayal, Cotton wasn't naive enough to believe that everyone else was 'loyal'.

Someone will definitely tip them off, but that's okay, Cotton is going to show Bridge his hand.

'If we dig deeper, this is absolutely a major scandal that could bring Bridge down.'

Cotton was naturally happy to see that woman step down, but unfortunately, it couldn't change the situation.

Bridge's faction isn't just Bridge herself; once she steps down, someone else will quickly take her place.

Therefore, Cotton's goal was not to oust Bridge, but to seek cooperation.

Nothing is impossible; today's enemy may be tomorrow's friend. Ultimately, it all comes down to self-interest.

Section 716, Chapter 715: Feigning Compliance

“Bridge, in the early days of the union, produced many outstanding individuals.”

"They were the founders of modern science. The scattered theoretical knowledge they unearthed from the ruins was summarized into a complete system by these few people."

"It's fair to say that without those great figures, the union would have at most developed to the level of the State Federation, and there would have been no glory today."

"so what?"

Bridge was a little confused. She had been summoned by Athena today, supposedly because she had something important to tell her.

But why did the conversation turn to those great scientists as soon as we met?

"Bridge, what do you think is the general trend in this world?"

On the screen, Athena smiled and asked, "Science or mystery?"

"Of course it's mysterious."

Bridge said without hesitation, "The world's leading superpower, Sinn, is not a technologically advanced country."

"Aside from Saen, the foundation of most countries is not technology, but mystery!"

"Do you think it's normal for Pluton Union to have grown to such a strong position today?"

"The keynote of this world is mystery; mystery is the prevailing trend."

“The Pluton Union is going against the tide, yet it is now the second strongest nation after Saine.”

"..."

Bridge looked thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, she said, "From this perspective, the alliance is very abnormal."

Athena smiled: "I carefully compared the few great figures who emerged at the beginning of the United Nations and found that they were strangely similar."

"Hmm, in what way are they similar?"

"Habit!"

Athena said very seriously, "Everyone pulls out their hair when they feel extremely stressed, they all have the same aesthetic sense when it comes to clothing, they all like very spicy food, and they never want their hair styled..."

"The similarities are so numerous that I suspect these great men are actually one person."

"Appearance can be changed, but small habits are hard to hide."

After hearing this, Bridge gave a strange smile: "He likes spicy food and always has a buzz cut... I remember old Peters was like that."

“Old Peters’ son once published an article in some small country. Take a look.”

As Athena finished speaking, a close-up of a newspaper appeared on the screen.

"The moon is... a spaceship?" Bridge's expression grew increasingly strange.

"Old Peters' wife suffered from postpartum depression. She told her psychiatrist that she had given birth to a freak and that her son was not human."

"Brown Peters, he had a nickname 'Lucky Guy'. Archaeology is a high-risk profession, and there are very few archaeologists in the world as famous as him who have not lost any limbs."

“Cotton Peters also had good luck,” Bridge added.

"His political career has been smooth sailing, and he has always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune whenever there is a crisis."

"That's why, even with the covert support of the esoteric sects, I haven't been able to suppress him all these years."

"but......"

Bridge's expression turned serious: "His good fortune disappeared not long ago."

“Cotton’s father had an encounter with our lord,” Athena said meaningfully.

"I see..."

"My ally, has the knot in your heart been cleared up?"

Athena gazed at Bridge: "Your grandfather was the greatest scientist. As for old Peters? He was just a knowledgeable alien."

"..."

Bridget couldn't help but tremble, and after a while, she smiled with relief.

"Phew, I feel so much lighter now."

"Athena, thank you so much!"

"There's no need for that."

Seeing Bridge bow to her, Athena waved her hand: "Without your help, many plans would not have been able to succeed so quickly."

"Besides, I also want to do something for your grandfather."

"Athena, you will take over the Union next week, victory is in sight!"

"Well, there are still uncertainties."

"you mean?"

"Dragons"

Athena said seriously, "We need to find a way to deal with this special force."

Bridge frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "Perhaps we can try to make contact with the former Dragon Rider Commander."

“Beta is playing ‘Awakener’, he is now my lord’s knight.”

"Hmm, then there's no problem, right?"

"I need time."

Athena said, "Beta is undergoing a crucial trial, and I want him to cast aside any illusions he may have."

“I previously discovered a few people that Cotton had sent to sabotage the game, and I dealt with them rather drastically.”

“That Grand Consul is likely to use this as an opportunity to launch an attack, my ally. I need you to buy me enough time.”

"no problem"

Bridge said casually, "That Cotton guy wants to 'make peace' with me. I wasn't going to bother with him. But since you need time, I'll just play along for a while."

.................................................. ...........................

"Major Beta, this is your first time leading a team abroad to complete a mission. Don't let everyone down."

“Yes, sir!” Beta saluted the man.

"..."

Seeing Beta standing still, the man gave him a strange look: "Is there any other problem?"

"Ah, no, no."

"Then let's set off."

"Yes!"

Beta fell silent for a moment; in his memory, this officer wasn't usually this cold and aloof.

Because it was his first cross-border mission, he gave himself a lot of instructions.

'Is the change in my superior's attitude towards me a result of my previous flamboyant behavior?'

Despite constant conflicts with numerous instructors, he still passed all training sessions with the highest score.

Even after graduation, he was a troublemaker, driving several of his direct superiors crazy.

The reason Beta was able to rise to the rank of major is entirely due to his successful completion of several challenging missions, coupled with his unparalleled prestige among the Dragoons.

'With my performance, it's no wonder my superiors are displeased.'

But who cares?

Now that he's playing a game, he can do whatever he wants!

The moment I stepped out the door, the scene changed immediately.

"Boss, are you nervous?"
