Farul was not sure whether his reasoning held water. The very line of thought was extremely dangerous.
How would Tai Yu deal with it?
Amid Farul's confusion, the meeting drew to a close. Tai Yu rarely gave summaries, but this time he did. "I know everyone is rather worried about logistical supplies..."
Not at all. I just wanted to see how you'd react.
Farul added another jab in his heart, without affecting Tai Yu's speech in the slightest.
"I do not believe this will affect the work of the 'Special Task Force.'
"First, over the past nearly two weeks, we have completed the vast majority of the preparatory work. Only scattered finishing touches remain.
"In fact, more than once during this period, I have heard people say that we may soon return to 'Star Ring City.' Such an optimistic and positive atmosphere has no reason to be completely changed by a single accident."
This was Tai Yu's first acknowledgment that the Special Task Force's work was nearing its end.
People like Farul and Priest Kannan, who had access to more inside information, naturally understood. But the rest of the attendees were still deeply shaken.
Tai Yu offered no further explanation and gave his second reason instead:
"Second, precisely because we have completed most of the preliminary work, our need for external resources has greatly diminished at this stage.
"What comes next is merely to fully bring out the effectiveness of the equipment deployed and resources invested earlier, to apprehend the target and soothe human hearts."
Farul's cheek twitched involuntarily.
And he still had the nerve to say that!
You had practically consumed all the resources invested earlier. Now there were only the tens of thousands of units of "Grease Balls" dropped deep into the strata...
It was not quite right
