Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

"Alright, alright, this isn't the first time I've seen something like this. Anyway, it's not the first time. There's no need to say anything more about this."

After seeing his fellow Fools' Executors shrug, Pantalone ignored the others' gazes and looked at the "Clown," who was the Commander, before answering.

"Your Excellency, I have no reason to defend my plan. Now that it has been exposed, I have nothing more to say."

"In conclusion, I, Pantalone, the ninth executive officer of the Fools, 'The Rich,' voluntarily relinquish and terminate all ongoing projects, and accept the verdict from the impeachment and executive council..."

Just as Pantalone was speaking eloquently, indicating that he was about to abandon his plans, he looked at everything that was happening before his eyes.

The "scatterers" had an immense sense of satisfaction in their eyes, and Pantalone's current demeanor was as if he had admitted defeat.

He understood that in this contest between himself and Pantalone, he had completely defeated the man who had once inflicted countless humiliations upon him, and all that remained was for the moment when the "clown," the commander-in-chief, would announce the results.

That was the moment when Pantalone was utterly defeated, which made the "scatterers" incredibly excited and looking forward to what was about to happen. It was with these exciting thoughts and ideas in mind that he was in the middle of it.

The sound of tapping on the conference table, coming from the Fools' commander "Clown," interrupted Pantalone's narration and "Scrapped's" thoughts.

This quieted down the previously noisy venue once again.

Pantalone was puzzled by the clown's unusual behavior. He couldn't understand why the clown would suddenly interrupt him. Just as he was pondering this question...

As the only "clown" in this executive meeting who had the power to decide the decisions of the other executives, he answered with a calm expression.

“You’ve got one thing wrong, Pantalone. In fact, after careful consideration, I have no intention of stopping this project. On the contrary, I highly approve of it.”

Upon hearing the result announced by the "clown," the "scattered soldier" standing to the side suddenly raised his head, looking at the "clown" with shock and astonishment at the answer he had given.

This left him unable to understand why Pantalone's plan had actually been approved.

Whether it was the tragedy of the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Kanria or everything that happened to the golden kingdom buried in the desert, all of this has already proven that this was a plan destined to fail.

But why would the "clown," who clearly knew everything about the plan, approve such a proposal?

This made the "scattered soldier" wonder whether the "clown" had gone mad, or whether he himself had gone mad.

Pantalone, the person involved, was even more shocked and stood there dumbfounded.

He never imagined that this incredibly crazy and even inhumane plan would actually receive the approval of the "clown," who was the commander-in-chief.

As a "clown" who personally witnessed the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Kanria's Black Sun Dynasty, he must have known what the consequences of touching the righteous law ordained by Heaven would be.

Given this, one would naturally be aware of the consequences of having witnessed one's former compatriots tearing away the veil of deep sin and incurring divine wrath, destruction, and a raging tide of delusion.

Even so, the fact that the "clown" who had personally experienced all of that still gave such an answer shocked and astonished Pantalone.

What surprised him even more was that the plan, which should have been impeached in the past, was now under investigation.

This time, it was surprisingly approved. Shouldn't this be a bottom line that no one is allowed to cross?

Even in the world where this plan was proposed, it was seen as a last resort rather than the only hope or the only thing that could succeed. There was clearly still a lot of room for maneuver, so why would that "clown" agree to such a plan?

This defied all common sense and logic, and it didn't make sense for Piero, who was known as "The Clown." Pantalone's face was filled with bewilderment as he couldn't comprehend such a thing.

After his initial bewilderment, Pantalone immediately turned to the "clown" and asked him a question.

"Wait... Shouldn't this plan have been abolished and terminated? Why was it approved?"

He couldn't understand this situation, since all the plans he had proposed had been rejected.

But this plan, which is far more insane than any other plan, has actually been approved?

His inhuman and insane plan had actually been approved? How could he have such a dream?

This is how the "Pagliacci" responded to Pantalone's question.

"Currently, a large amount of resources have been invested in a series of projects, including the 'Imaginary Energy Storage Project,' the 'Autonomous Machinery Project,' and the 'Void Dream System.'"

"For Zhidong, it is impossible to stop or terminate all ongoing projects just to reject a plan. Even for Zhidong, there is no way he can afford such a loss."

"In conclusion, from my personal perspective, I agree with the implementation of this plan."

"I think you should know that sometimes... the enemies we face are far more than what is in front of us, and there are unknowns that we need to consider afterward."

"Based on this, there are some things we may not necessarily have to do, but we cannot be unprepared to deal with all of that; it is necessary."

After the "clown" gave his reasons and answers, he looked at the meaningful look in the "clown's" eyes and the words he was emphasizing.

This stirred a turbulent wave within Pantalone as he looked into the "Clown's" deep gaze.

This made Pantalone subconsciously think that perhaps... the "clown" knew something deeper, which caused a jumble of emotions to surface in Pantalone's mind.

He didn't know if the "clown" was hinting at something to him, but if what the "clown" meant was really as he thought, then even he couldn't deny it.

The current plan may indeed be the best plan for 'that'.

If the Fools' plan succeeds, it might rewrite the laws of nature.

But what if 'natural law' itself isn't truly terrifying?

This realization caused Pantalone to fall silent.

He was unable to give a satisfactory answer or explanation for all of this.

While Pantalone remained silent, after the results announced by the "clown," and after a series of discussions, as well as his own considerations and analysis, he continued to work on the matter.

Ultimately, during the impeachment motion that was attended by all the executives, the other executives also expressed their opinions.

First, there was the mayor, who was both a political rival of Pantalone and the head of the Winter Kingdom, and the sixth seat of the Fools' Executive, "Rooster" Puccinella, who gently pushed up his monocle and stroked his white beard.
