The Final Negotiation
In a temporary command room somewhere in the city, Minister Fan slammed a file onto the desk and said furiously, "Look at the mess he's made! When the Special Defense Department was first established, the analysis team made this player a top priority for study. He should have been under close surveillance!"
"You were the ones who wanted to recruit him and left him alone. Now he's stirred up trouble and brought it right to our doorstep!"
"No matter how capable an ordinary person is, the damage they can cause is limited. Players are different. Once a player goes berserk, far more people will suffer!"
"In one night, he's turned everything upside down. What is he trying to do? What does he want?"
Team Leader Wu pressed a hand to his swollen cheek. "Based on Xu Huo's behavior all along, he's been favorably disposed toward us. This time, there were extenuating circumstances..."
"I don't think there were any extenuating circumstances," interrupted Team Leader Song, seated at the head of the table. "I've read this player's file too. Someone this unstable was bound to cause trouble sooner or later. If you ask me, we should arrest him or kill him. The Special Defense Department has plenty of excellent players. We don't need a lunatic to make us look good."
"Arrest him? Kill him?" A good-looking woman across from him turned her tablet toward him. "Do you think he revealed his voice in those videos by accident? Look at these comments online. The public has already decided what this is about."
Just then, the secretary connected the online content to the large screen. After reading only a few pages, the people in the conference room wore complicated expressions.
"Fire of Crime Extermination? Evolved One Hero? A true Vanguard Player?"
