District 2.
Inside the conference room of the United Government Building.
Apart from Olof, who was too busy organizing repairs to the blast-resistant glass to attend, Qian Wendao, Qin Siyang, Zhu Haifeng, Fan Baoluo, and several other key administrators and top fighters were all seated there.
They looked at the old man before them, each with a different expression in their eyes.

"True."
