The military officer saw that he remained silent all this time, so he added another sentence.
"We can negotiate regarding the benefits."
"It's not about the benefits."
Lin Mo shook his head.
"I'm not interested."
The officer opposite him was momentarily stunned, not having had the chance to say a single one of the conditions he had prepared, while Joanna leaned against Lin Mo and spoke up in turn.
"If he's not going, I'm not going either."
She answered even more resolutely than Lin Mo, and the lead officer looked at the two of them, suddenly feeling that today's conversation probably wouldn't be as easy as they had imagined before coming.
The lead officer did not give up immediately. He had known before coming that Lin Mo might not agree on the spot, so besides the benefits, the Military had prepared another set of talking points for him.
"Mr. Lin Mo, since you possess such abilities, you should understand how much you can accomplish that ordinary people cannot."
"The country needs you, and the public needs you. Since you are going to become a Superhero in the future, you must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."
He said quite a bit, going from protecting the people to national security, and then to how people with power should not only think of themselves.
Lin Mo listened, and the expression on his face gradually faded.
If that was all there was to it, the Military had really kicked a steel wall this time.
If they had negotiated terms properly, he could still sit here and finish this cup of coffee, but they were starting to use morality to bind him and Joanna?
Then there was nothing left to talk about.
"Are you done?" Lin Mo asked calmly out of nowhere, already a bit impatient.
