Everyone on Xia Nation's side understood that the death of a leader in a laser project—even one on the shortlist for a Gunpowder Prize—did not necessarily mean they could influence Mairui Country's next move. After all, when Mairui people got emotional, they could be utterly irrational.
William Smith, a figure in laser research and development, had died. He would definitely become the center of attention in the short term.
So if a few idiotic communications experts suddenly appeared within Mairui Country, it probably would not attract too much attention, right?
In other words, the real reason William Smith had to die might have been that certain people wanted to provide cover for Feng Jun.
Feng Jun's individual abilities were formidable, but compared to a national-level force, he had an obvious shortcoming—his own power base was not large enough.
The current Luo Hua was no longer just a handful of people as it had been in its early days, but it was not particularly powerful either. It merely meant that when they mobilized their own people, they were no longer quite so strapped for manpower. They still could not compare to an entire country.

What arrived instead was news of William Smith's death. Lin Beauty told him, "It's time."
