After careful consideration, Qin Mu decided to have Councilor Jia, the military's strongest expert, come to City 023 for a face-to-face discussion.
The reason for choosing City 023 was that Qin Mu intended to let Councilor Jia see the tamed Flame Giant Lizard with his own eyes.
Seeing was far more impactful than words.
Qin Mu dialed Councilor Jia's number.
